Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 48 Planetary-Level Warrior

Lu Jin was quite satisfied with his speed, which exceeded seven times the speed of sound.

Among all the powerful members of Congress on Earth, only Hong and Thor, whose levels are far superior to those of the other members, can surpass him in speed.

Even Ister, who is known as the world's number one psychopath, is no match for him.

After all, within the atmosphere, due to air resistance, speed cannot be simply added together like force.

The Sky Shuttle doubles the flight speed, which cannot be compensated for by simply increasing one level of mental power.

'call--'

A figure whizzed past over the Qinling Mountains.

Half a day later, Lu Jin went hunting in the Qinling Mountains again.

People of Yan and Huang believe in the saying, "Since we're already here..."

He won't leave because there are countless king-level monsters in the Qinling Mountains.

Before his mental power breaks through, he still needs to be wary of Tyrannosaurus King, the strongest in the Qinling Mountains, whose level is suspected to be Planetary Tier 3.

But now, he no longer needs to be afraid.

After all, even at the peak of the third planetary rank, the basic strength is only eight times that of someone who has just entered the first planetary rank.

His mountain-drilling cone attack is equivalent to 36 times the power of someone who has just entered the first level of planetary cultivation. As long as Tyrannosaurus King exerts less than 4.5 times the power, he cannot match Tyrannosaurus King in terms of attack power ceiling.

Not to mention that he is faster, and the drill cone controlled by his telekinesis is more flexible than the primal energy release attack of a King-level monster.

Two hours later, in the afternoon, above a canyon in the Qinling Mountains.

In mid-air, the mountain-drilling cone transformed into a golden light and shot out at lightning speed toward the Tyrannosaurus King, whose body was covered with dark blue scales, stood fifteen meters tall at the shoulder, and whose body alone was more than thirty meters long, not counting its long tail, and had a single black, curved horn on its head.

The drilling cone arrived in an instant, striking the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the head before it could dodge.

"boom--"

A deafening roar erupted, and under the intense force of drilling and tearing, countless shattered, dark blue scales mixed with blood, flesh, and bone fragments flew everywhere.

The Tyrannosaurus King, whose strength reached the third level of the planetary realm, actually had its head blown off by the Mountain Drill Cone!

Lu Jin wasn't surprised that the Tyrannosaurus King was killed in one blow.

After all, he was no longer the same person he was three hours ago.

Prior to this, he had successively killed the White Tiger King and the Golden Eagle King, who were entrenched in the Qinling Mountains.

The White Tiger King was a Planetary Tier 1, and the Golden Eagle King was a Planetary Tier 2. After dismantling their corpses, he obtained four more complete Planetary Life Source Crystals, raising his mental power level to the peak of Planetary Tier 2.

Of course, even with more planetary-level life crystals, his mental power cannot be improved for the time being.

His mental power level can only be two levels higher than his martial arts level. If he wants to continue to improve his mental power, he must break through to the planetary level in his martial arts level.

If one's own mental power foundation has reached the peak of the second level of the planetary realm, then in terms of foundation, the Tyrannosaurus King, whose level is in the middle of the third level of the planetary realm, is only about half a time stronger than him.

In this way, facing the Mountain Drill Cone that can unleash 36 times the attack power, wouldn't it be easy to kill the Tyrannosaurus King in one move?
After collecting the headless corpse of the Tyrannosaurus King, Lu Jin rode the Sky Shuttle and returned to Yangzhou City.

In a corner of the underground martial arts training hall of a villa in Guangming Residential Area, there is a small jade door sculpture.

Inside the Peach Garden, Lu Jin, having consumed a planetary-level life essence crystal, is breaking through to the planetary-level martial artist level.

At this moment, every cell in Lu Jin's body was boiling, greedily devouring the immense life force surging from his abdomen.

Soon, as if a certain threshold had been reached, the genetic energy hidden in every cell began to converge in a certain direction.

The whole process was like water droplets gathering into a trickle, then a stream, a river, and finally a vast ocean. 'Boom—'

The greatest sound is silent, the greatest form is formless. Just as Pangu created the world, the dantian, which did not actually exist in the human body, suddenly opened up.

There is a fundamental difference between mentalists and martial artists: the origin of a mentalist lies in the sea of ​​consciousness in the head, while the origin of a martial artist lies in the dantian in the abdomen.

Within the newly opened dantian, the already gathered and rotating genetic energy began to rotate at an accelerated speed, then continuously expanded and contracted.

With each expansion and contraction, the volume of the genetic energy becomes smaller, just like being forged into steel through repeated tempering.

After a long while, Lu Jin trembled all over, and a vast and boundless aura emanated from him, giving people the feeling of a sea god.

Planetary-level martial artist, achieved!
Within the vast dantian, a miniature planet appeared, constantly rotating and emitting strange fluctuations.

Unlike the semi-transparent miniature planet that was born in the sea of ​​consciousness, this miniature planet in the dantian is blue.

A close inspection reveals that the entire blue miniature planet is actually composed of a large number of blue, six-sided crystals aggregated together.

'It really is a water system.'

Looking at the miniature blue planet within his dantian, Lu Jin couldn't help but think to himself.

The primordial universe has ten fundamental laws: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, time, and space.

Among them, the laws of time and space are the higher-level laws, while the other eight laws are the lower-level laws.

When a martial artist breaks through to the planetary level, the genetic energy within their body will change from being attribute-less to one of the eight lower-level law attributes, without exception.

Back when he first awakened his mental power and saw that his innate solid mental power was a deep blue color, Lu Jin already knew that after becoming a planetary warrior, the elemental attribute of his body would inevitably be water.

The next moment, Lu Jin's heart stirred, and a wisp of blue primal force instantly flew out of his dantian and flowed into his body.

'Click click click—'

'Crackling and popping—'

In an instant, every cell in Lu Jin's body began to transform.

This transformation is more pronounced than when my mental power broke through to the planetary level.

After all, genetic energy is more suitable for modifying the body than mental energy, so the resulting changes are naturally more obvious than before.

For a moment, Lu Jin felt as if every bone in his body was being shattered inch by inch, and then reformed.

After a long while, all the changes gradually subsided.

At this moment, a powerful sense of strength welled up in Lu Jin's heart.

It's as if they could destroy the world with the slightest gesture.

'Slap slap—'

But the next second, Lu Jin patted his cheeks.

He's just a first-tier planetary warrior; it's not time for him to become arrogant.

The idea of ​​destroying the world is just a delusion created by a sense of self-satisfaction.

Although he had mastered the third level of the Mist Sword technique after several months of training, the third level of the Mist Sword technique only requires 3.2 times the physical exertion.

Furthermore, his martial arts level is only at the initial stage of planetary cultivation. In terms of martial arts strength alone, he can only be considered the bottom level among the many councilors on Earth. However, it is not yet time for him to give up beef.
