Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 300 The Will of the Void True God, Preparing a 'Grand Gift'

A divine body spanning a million kilometers, endowed with 30,000 times the life genes, plus the supernatural power: the second level of the Law of Heaven and Earth.

The cosmic rulers of the Heavenly Court each possess divine bodies that can reach heights of hundreds of millions of kilometers.

Without considering the recovery of divine power, if we only consider the total amount of divine power in the divine body, the divine power of the Lord of the Heavenly Court is about 30 million times that of the true gods in the outside world.

Even without the most powerful treasure armor, if you stand still and let a seventh or eighth-tier true god cut you down, you can still make your opponent's hands sore from the blows.

The increased resilience brought by the massive divine body surpasses even that of the supreme treasure armor.

After all, the main function of the Supreme Treasure Armor is only to reduce physical attacks to one millionth.

The strongest being, who has created a sixth-order secret technique and possesses a supreme weapon, can be considered a top-tier expert in the universe.

Just as the powerful figures of the Heavenly Court were undergoing a transformation, and the five major forces, including the Virtual Universe Company, were taking off, the overall strength of the human race was greatly enhanced.

On the other side, in the far reaches of the cosmic sea, in an area that the powerful figures of the three great cycles of reincarnation and the two great holy lands had never reached before.

"boom--"

Amidst the endless chaotic currents, a colossal object transformed into a dazzling light and advanced at supersonic speed.

Its speed far exceeds a million times, or even tens of millions of times, the speed of light; it is incredibly fast.

Moreover, in terms of sheer size, this behemoth is even larger than a small universe.

Upon closer inspection, this colossal object, which is even larger than a small universe, vaguely resembles a reclining humanoid body.

It's hard to imagine what kind of power a behemoth, even larger than a small universe, could unleash while traveling at speeds far exceeding ten million times the speed of light.

If a powerful being could see the entire cosmic ocean at a glance, they would be able to discover that this colossal object is flying rapidly towards the extremely distant primordial universe.

Time passed, eight hundred epochs later in the primordial universe.

Cosmic boat, space of black-grained stone pillars.

The towering black-patterned stone pillar pierced directly into the endless clouds at the highest point, and the entire pillar exuded boundless pressure of will, as if hundreds of millions of iron-blooded legion warriors were roaring and charging in.

At this moment, a magnificent island-shaped palace treasure is slowly approaching the black-patterned stone pillar.

Inside this island-shaped palace treasure lies an extremely spacious interior.

One of Lu Jin's Blood God Child incarnations was sitting at the head of the hall, while another powerful figure sat cross-legged in a corner of the hall.

At first glance, the face of the Blood God Child's incarnation appeared somewhat distorted, as if he were enduring some great pain.

that's the truth.

At this moment, the intensity of the will impact in the area where the Blood God Child's avatar was located was already approaching Lu Jin's limit.

After being tempered for more than eight million years in the primordial universe, Lu Jin was able to sense that his will had reached the peak of the True God, and he was only half a step away from becoming a Void True God.

It was precisely for this reason that Lu Jin was frantically testing the limits, hoping to elevate his will to the level of a true god in the void.

Initially, Lu Jin was only honing his skills in the Ten Thousand Times Time Hall of the Xuan Sha Heaven Will Training Ground.

However, as the strength of willpower increases, the time acceleration rate of the Ten Thousand Times Time Palace is already significantly lower than that of the corresponding area in the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space.

Lu Jin then moved the place where he honed his will from Xuan Sha Tian's will training ground to the space of the black-patterned stone pillar.

Firstly, the time acceleration factor is higher in the space of the black-patterned stone pillar, which allows one to hone their will to a higher level in a shorter time.

Secondly, the time acceleration of the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space does not require him to pay for the tempering cost, while maintaining the acceleration of the Time Palace by ten thousand times requires a large amount of divine source liquid.

'Kill! Kill! Kill!'

The endless roar, carrying a terrifying impact of will, surged in like a tidal wave, relentlessly and frantically crushing Lu Jin's will.

Faced with the endless onslaught of willpower, Lu Jin felt as if he were a small boat in a raging storm, on the verge of capsizing at any moment.

Pushing the limits recklessly is like dancing on a knife's edge; one wrong step and everything collapses.

However, Lu Jin remained calm, as the impact of will was not a soul attack.

If the intensity of a soul attack exceeds the limit that a life can withstand, then the life's fate is death.

But the impact on willpower is different. If the limits are not exceeded too much, at most it will only result in temporary loss of consciousness and coma.

To this end, Lu Jin also made a special arrangement – ​​the Lord of Shihua Island, who was sitting cross-legged in a corner of the hall.

The Lord of the Primordial Island is a veteran True God. Five hundred epochs ago in the primordial universe, his will broke through and entered the level of a Void True God.

If you recklessly test the limits and accidentally collapse, you may temporarily lose consciousness and fall into a coma.

Following Lu Jin's instructions, the Lord of Shihua Island would then control the supreme palace treasure 'Shihua Island' where the two were located, and withdraw them from the area of ​​high-intensity will impact.

'Just a little bit more, just the very last bit!'

Lu Jin's will roared; he could feel that he was just a tiny bit away from achieving an unprecedented breakthrough.

'boom--'

After a long while, it was as if a chaotic divine thunder suddenly appeared, or as if the earth, water, fire, and wind were reenacted.

At this moment, Lu Jin's will cheered, and a feeling of exhilaration, like fish leaping freely in the vast sea and birds soaring in the boundless sky, arose spontaneously.

Immediately afterwards, an incomparably powerful will emanated from the Blood God Child's avatar.

Sometimes domineering and unparalleled, sometimes peaceful and serene, sometimes bloodthirsty and ruthless, sometimes divinely powerful and awe-inspiring, it possesses a certain contradictory quality.

Soon, his domineering will subsided, and a smile appeared on Lu Jin's face.

"Congratulations on the Heavenly Emperor's breakthrough in will."

The island lord of Shihua stepped forward, bowed, and offered his congratulations.

"Ah."

Lu Jin nodded, waved his hand and said, "The extreme training is over. You can go back now."

"Shh!"

The next moment, the entire Primordial Island disappeared into the space of the black-patterned stone pillar and was teleported back to the Netherworld God Kingdom, leaving only the Blood God Child's avatar behind.

Subsequently, the Blood God Child transformed into a blood-red supreme treasure and flew to a suitable location to continue honing his will.

Unlike his previous reckless testing of the limits, Lu Jin will only temper his will in the future without affecting his cultivation.

After all, honing one's skills under conditions close to the limit not only prevents this Blood God Child avatar from cultivating normally.

Because of the unity of will, the main body, the three avatars, and all the remaining Blood God Child incarnations will also be unable to cultivate normally.

On the other side, in the Great Luo Heaven, on the fifth floor of the Hall of Ascension to Immortality.

'His will has entered the realm of Void True God, and his Chaos Secret Technique has been perfected to the peak of the eighth rank. His life gene attainment is stuck at 59999 times.'

Aside from mechanical-themed items, it's very difficult to further increase one's strength.

Lu Jin thought to himself.

The eighth-tier top-level secret technique, the second level of the Three Heads and Six Arms, the God-Slaying Spear, with nearly 60,000 times the life gene, the power of the main body wielding the God-Slaying Spear and using the Chaos Secret Technique has already reached the level of the twelfth tier.

The later you get, the more difficult it becomes to improve your strength.

It's unlikely that the secret technique will advance from the top of the eighth rank to the ninth rank in the short term.

As for life genes, with the current level already approaching 60,000 times, even if there is further breakthrough, the increase in strength will be relatively limited.

The only thing that can significantly boost strength in a short period of time is the True God-level Mechanical Flow Treasure.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Jin turned to look at Zi Ni Chang and asked, "Ni Chang, how's the treasure refining going?"

Zi Nishang said, "There's no problem with top-tier treasures in the domain, soul, and palace categories."

There are two different types of Arcana items for the Mech build: single-target and legion-type.

The most powerful single-target mechanical artifact currently available is the 'Giant Spirit God,' crafted from top-tier artifact materials, which can enhance the user's strength by two tiers.

However, the maximum effectiveness of 'Giant Spirit God' can only reach the peak of the seventh tier; it becomes ineffective beyond the peak of the seventh tier.

The most powerful existing legion-type mechanical treasure, the 'Golden-Winged Roc,' is also crafted from top-tier treasure materials. It requires at least a thousand Universe Lords to activate, and can accommodate up to one hundred thousand Universe Lords, with a maximum power ceiling reaching the pinnacle of the twelfth tier.

Eight hundred epochs in the primordial universe, and eight hundred billion years in the Hall of Ascension under ten thousand times the time acceleration. In addition, with the improvement in comprehension brought about by studying the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau, and the comprehension blessing from the Bodhi Tree, it would be unreasonable not to make progress.

It's a pity that the difficulty of going from the pinnacle of supreme treasures to the strongest treasures, and from the mechanical treasures suitable for the master of the universe to the mechanical treasures of the true god level, is extremely high, representing a qualitative change.

In the short term, Zi Ni Chang, as the top treasure refiner in the Heavenly Court, had few clues.

After listening to Zi Nishang's explanation, Lu Jin raised his eyebrows.

The 'Giant Spirit God,' a top-tier single-target mechanical treasure with an effectiveness cap of only seventh tier, is basically useless to the Heavenly Court.

Due to his perfect genetic bloodline and supernatural powers—three heads and six arms—the current ruler of the universe in the Heavenly Court possesses a high level of strength.

Anyone who can create and integrate the strongest secret technique and cultivate the Three Heads and Six Arms technique to the second level will possess seventh-level strength without relying on the most powerful treasure.

With the Bodhi Tree and the Rhinoceros King's Formation, the Lord of the Universe's self-created and fused strongest secret technique is no problem at all.

However, the 'Golden-Winged Roc,' a Legion-type mechanical treasure with an attack power cap of 12th tier, does have some use.

Because it requires a large number of powerful individuals, this thing is destined to be only suitable for the seven members of the Hong'er group who follow the legion-based strategy, as well as the many universe lords and queens of the Hundred Flowers Imperial Court.

Moreover, for the time being, the seven people, including Hong'er, who only possess top-tier sixth-order secret techniques, still need the 'Golden-Winged Roc'.

Because the ghost warriors and titan warriors under Hong'er's command, for some unknown reason, were unable to master the supernatural power of three heads and six arms.

Controlling 100,000 legion warriors to unleash a combined attack technique was already the limit of Hong'er and her six companions' control capabilities.

Even if the Three Heads and Six Arms technique doesn't involve divine body modification, they can still control a small number of Zerg warriors to activate the Three Heads and Six Arms.

It also lacks the ability to control 100,000 legion warriors and unleash a combined attack using the three-headed, six-armed supernatural power.

The combined power of a sixth-tier top-level secret technique and 100,000 ultimate warriors of the universe's lords only reaches the eleventh-tier top-level power, one tier lower than the upper limit of the 'Golden-Winged Roc'. However, once Hong'er and her companions create their own seventh-tier top-level secret technique in the future, the 'Golden-Winged Roc', a treasure of the legion-type mechanical style, will become largely useless.

Even after creating his own eighth-tier secret technique, using the 'Golden-Winged Roc' was not as effective as directly unleashing a combined attack using the Legion's secret technique.

Overall, Lu Jin was quite satisfied with Zi Ni Chang's progress in refining the treasure.

After all, Zi Ni Chang has only been involved in the art of treasure refining for less than a thousand epochs in the primordial universe.

This cycle of reincarnation will last for more than six trillion epochs, and there will be plenty of time to improve the art of treasure refining.

After offering a few words of encouragement, Lu Jin instructed Fatty, "Fatty, notify all members of the Heavenly Court who are at the level of Universe Lord or above to assemble at the Lingxiao Palace."

"Yes, Master."

Fatty responded.

Now, another eight hundred epochs have passed. According to the original story, the corpse of the God-King of Jin should be nearing the known area of ​​the Cosmic Sea.

In Lu Jin's view, the arrival of the Jin world would greatly enhance the Heavenly Court's foundation.

The number of true gods that the Heavenly Court was able to give birth to before the Great Destruction of the Primordial Universe can be basically linked to its gains in the Jin World.

In addition, Lu Jin plans to use the high-speed flying corpse of the God King of Jin to pull off a big heist, the kind that will shock the entire universe.

He clearly remembered that among the three powerful figures of the three reincarnation eras in the original work, the progenitor of demon beasts was the first to discover the corpse of the God King of Jin.

After thousands of years of relentless attacks by the progenitor of demonic beasts, the flight trajectory of the corpse of the God King of Jin finally deviated slightly, crashing into the dangerous 'Whirlpool River' and turning it into ruins.

In other words, the general direction from which the corpse of the God King of Jin came can be determined.

As long as we send out people to lie in wait around the dangerous area of ​​the 'Whirling River', with the eyesight of the Lord of the Universe or even a true god, plus the violent noise generated by the corpse flying at high speed, we will definitely be able to wait for the arrival of the corpse of the God King of Jin.

Somewhat coincidentally, the Purple Moon Holy Land universe, although far away from the perilous 'Whirlpool River', is not located on the original flight path of the Jin God King's corpse to the primordial universe.

However, it wasn't too far off course. If many powerful figures from the Heavenly Court joined forces to attack and change its flight trajectory, it wouldn't be impossible to guide the corpse of the God King of Jin into the Purple Moon Holy Land universe.

'It should be able to directly shatter the Purple Moon Holy Land universe, right?'

Lu Jin thought to himself with anticipation.

Well, I hope the Purple Moon Ancestor will like this wonderful gift.

Outside the Lingxiao Palace in the Great Luo Heaven, powerful figures teleported in one after another.

Before long, more than a thousand figures had gathered inside the Lingxiao Palace.

Since he had nurtured all the Heavenly Generals into Lords of the Universe, Lu Jin had not used the Law Godhood to nurture any more Lords of the Universe.

However, the Heavenly Court did not waste these eight hundred epochs; several geniuses independently mastered spacetime and became masters of the universe.

Examples include Hong, the "Lord of the Illusionary Realm," and Thor, the "Lord of Thor."

Of course, the reason why Hong, Lei Shen, and others were able to break through so quickly was not only because of their own good comprehension, but also mainly because of the superior law enlightenment diagram.

"Shh!"

Suddenly, nine figures teleported to the top of the nine-colored throne in the Lingxiao Palace.

"Greetings to the Heavenly Emperor, Empress, and Seven Clouds Imperial Consorts."

Everyone in the hall bowed respectfully.

"No gift."

Lu Jin waved his hand, glanced around the hall, and nodded in satisfaction.

The strongest among them were naturally the eight Heavenly Kings of the Four Directions and Four Seasons, as well as four True God-level servants, including the Ancestor of Demon Beasts.

Each of them possesses top-tier eighth-order secret techniques, and considering the third level of the Three Heads and Six Arms technique, as well as life genes several times greater than those of true gods of the Law Path, none of them are anything less than a twelfth-order true god.

It's a pity, as creating a ninth-order secret technique is extremely difficult.

For the time being, even the Four Heavenly Kings, who were the first to reach the top level of the eighth rank in terms of secret techniques, have not been able to create a ninth-rank secret technique.

Following closely behind the twelve True Gods were the seven people, including Hong'er, who could unleash the top-tier power of the twelfth rank with the Legion-style mechanical treasure 'Golden-Winged Roc'.

The reason they are ranked after the twelve true gods is mainly because the Golden-Winged Rocs of Hong'er and her six companions only reach the top level of the twelfth rank in terms of attack, while they are much worse in other aspects.

In a one-on-one fight, the Eight Heavenly Kings and the four True God servants could all defeat the Golden-Winged Roc, a 12th-tier top-level power.

Apart from the relatively inactive Xu Xin, and the newly appointed cosmic rulers such as Hong and Thor, many of the Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Court are quite powerful.

The vast majority of them created their own sixth-order secret techniques, and some even had top-tier sixth-order secret techniques. Only a few celestial generals still possessed secret techniques that were fused with the strongest secret techniques.

Excluding Lu Jin himself, the Heavenly Court has twelve 12th-tier combatants, seven pseudo-12th-tier top combatants, and thousands of 8th-tier and above combatants.

Lu Jin said, "Everyone, from now on, all those in universes whose strength reaches the sixth rank or above should go on an adventure to the Cosmic Sea."

The general adventure area is set along a line encompassing the Ice Sand Sea, Whirlpool Lake, Spiral River, Nine Abyss Domain, and Purple Light Island. One can only return after their arcane skill level has increased by one stage.

Along the line from Bing Sha Hai to Zi Guang Island, Lu Jin only mentioned the names of five dangerous places, but in reality, they were extremely far apart, with many less dangerous places interspersed in between.

He arranged the numerous cosmic lords under his command in a straight line with the swirling water as the center, a line that was extremely far apart and intersected almost at a ninety-degree angle with the flight trajectory of the God King of Jin.

It can be said that as long as the original will of the primordial universe continues to release the world of Jin as it was in the original story, then the Heavenly Court would not be able to fail to discover the corpse of the God-King of Jin.

In fact, the corpse of the God King of Jin would eventually be exposed to the eyes of various forces in the cosmic sea. After all, a behemoth spanning hundreds of millions of light-years was traveling at a speed of hundreds of millions of light-years, and the commotion was too great to hide.

However, if the corpse of the God King of Jin was discovered outside the Whirlpool River area, and its flight direction was changed by continuous attacks, then it would be impossible to guide the corpse of the God King of Jin to crash into the Purple Moon Holy Land universe.

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor!"

Although the lords of the universes in the hall were puzzled, none of them asked questions and instead bowed in response.

Since His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor said that they should go to the line from the Ice Sand Sea to Purple Light Island in the Cosmic Sea for training, there must be a reason for His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor's decision.

These mortals don't need to ask many questions; they just need to obediently follow instructions and strive to create higher-level secret techniques during their trials.

Anyway, as long as the Immortal Transformation Palace exists, and as long as they remain the masters of the universe and are not enslaved by their souls, they are immortal. At most, they will perish and be resurrected with a mountain of debt.

After everyone in the hall had left, Zi Nishang blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Lu Jin, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

The Ice Sand Sea, Whirlpool Lake, Spiral River, Nine Abyss Domain, and Purple Light Island are not particularly high-class places, but anyone with a top-tier palace treasure can basically roam freely.

In the cosmic sea treasure hunt, the dangers are roughly proportional to the rewards.

Furthermore, few powerful beings from the Cosmic Sea venture into this area, and she didn't believe that Lu Jin's decision to send a group of powerful beings from the Heavenly Court to these places for training was truly just for training purposes.

Meeting Zi Nishang's curious gaze, Lu Jin didn't speak. Instead, he closed the door of Lingxiao Palace with a thought and then gestured towards her and the other seven people.

Hong'er and the other seven exchanged glances. Zi'er stepped forward and whispered in Lu Jin's ear, "Master, you and Sister Ni Chang go first. We sisters will perform a dance."

"Well, you can have this."

Lu Jin nodded in satisfaction and pulled Zi Nishang over.

Soon, inside the majestic Lingxiao Palace, the Seven Fairy Maidens themselves performed a dance, transforming into musicians playing the zither, flute, drum, and other instruments. Chang'e, the fairy maiden, displayed melodious fairy music to the rhythm of the primordial movement.

On the other side, almost all of the thousands of cosmic lords under the Heavenly Court set out for the area from the Ice Sand Sea to Purple Light Island.

Before long, the powerful figures from all sides of the Cosmic Sea completely withdrew from these dangerous places.

There was no way around it; the Heavenly Court was too cruel.

Anyone encountered by the Lord of the Heavenly Court or the Universe is either killed or sealed away; only true gods can escape this fate.

Even if the Lord of the Universe hides in a palace of supreme treasures, it's useless. With the combined efforts of many people, they can be completely sealed with a supreme treasure of the highest grade.

As for those who lack top-tier palace treasures, it's even easier.

Most of the cosmic rulers in the Heavenly Court possess top-tier eighth-order strength.

An eighth-tier top-level material attack is enough to break through the defenses of a top-tier palace treasure below the highest grade.

After losing some of their universe lords, and seeing that many of the Heavenly Court's universe lords were active in this area, all the forces that had been keeping an eye on the area withdrew one after another.

If I can't afford to offend them, can't I at least avoid them?
Let alone dangerous places like the Whirlpool River, even if the Heavenly Court were to reserve a certain forbidden area in the Cosmic Sea and prohibit members of other forces from entering or leaving, no force would dare to openly oppose it.

They had not forgotten the terrifying feat of the Heavenly Court in the battle outside the Tomb of the Flame-Ice Domain, more than eight hundred epochs ago.

Time flies, and more than 6,600 years later.

The Cosmic Sea, a remote place.

Amidst the endless chaotic currents, a palace treasure radiating boundless light drifted aimlessly.

"Tsk~, can't even find a worthy opponent."

Inside the supreme palace treasure, the Temple of Light, Zi Zhenfeng clicked his tongue and said.

'Your Majesty, what is the deeper meaning behind this? Hmm~, that seems to be the Black Stone River ahead, let's go take a look.'

Looking at the Black Stone River, an ordinary but dangerous place thousands of light-years away and tens of thousands of light-years long, Zi Zhenfeng pondered to himself.

'Whoosh! '

Suddenly, a huge streak of light, moving at an extremely high speed, appeared in the far distance ahead.

The next moment, Zi Zhenfeng felt a blur before his eyes and saw that the 'Black Stone River' thousands of light-years away had completely disappeared, leaving only a huge void.

"Rumble--"

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying shockwave swept in, instantly impacting the supreme palace treasure, the 'Temple of Light,' causing it to tumble and fly hundreds of billions of kilometers away.

Coming to his senses, Zi Zhenfeng stared in astonishment at the enormous void that was gradually being filled by endless chaotic energy.

If he wasn't mistaken, a beam of light just flew by with a 'whoosh'? And it directly wiped out the 'Black Stone River,' an ordinary dangerous place tens of thousands of light-years long?
Suddenly, Zi Zhenfeng realized something important.

Could it be that the Heavenly Emperor's order for them to come to this area of ​​the Cosmic Sea for training was for this terrifying light?
