Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 62 Global Summit
In an instant, Hong felt a terrifying force coming from his chest.

Despite being weakened by the Black God Set, his internal organs still trembled violently under the immense force of the attack, and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.

"What a terrifying power!"

Wiping away the blood that had spilled from the corner of his mouth, Hong was utterly shocked as he stared at Lu Jin, who remained motionless in mid-air opposite him.

'Thank goodness it was released into the sea!'

Lu Jin shook his head inwardly.

With his foundation being ten times that of a peak ninth-tier planetary warrior, even without using his psychic power amplification, the power that a single Sky-Piercing Shuttle blade could unleash was something that Hong, a sixth-tier planetary warrior, could not withstand.

Attacks of this level are absolutely fatal unless the fatal point is not at the physical level.

Therefore, Lu Jin released Hai, weakening the psychic power driving the Sky Shuttle blade.

Furthermore, he deliberately struck with the flat of the blade rather than with the sharp edge; otherwise, Hong Ke's condition would have been far more serious than just blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"I lost!"

Realizing the huge gap between the two sides, Hong readily admitted defeat.

Even a single blade attack could injure him; if several blades were to fall on him at the same time, wouldn't he be blasted into a bloody mess?
Retracting the Sky-Piercing Shuttle blade, Lu Jin cupped his hands and said, "You flatter me!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Hong, having achieved both his goals, left.

Whether Hong was in a good mood or a bad mood after leaving was not something Lu Jin cared about.

Upon returning to Zijing Pavilion, Lu Jin received a message from Jia Yi.

Jia Yi didn't mean anything by it; he just wanted to know how his sparring match with Hong had gone.

Lu Jin, who doesn't usually lie, naturally told the truth.

Half an hour later, all forces around the world knew that the former First Speaker Hong had been defeated by the current First Speaker Lu Jin.

Who leaked the message?

Of course, it was Jia Yi who had the propaganda department of his own Weifang (military headquarters) spread the word.

In the past, the Extreme Martial Arts Academy had a huge advantage in recruiting talent because of its headmaster, Hong, being the world's number one fighter.

Although Lu Jin had previously become the First Speaker of the War God Palace, there was no certainty among outsiders as to who was stronger between Lu Jin and Hong.

After all, anyone with a brain knows that Lu Jin's ability to kill off global king-level monsters in one night must have involved special external forces, rather than being entirely due to his own abilities. He is not absolutely invincible in terms of strength.

Some say Lu Jinqiang ended the era of monsters, while others believe it was Hong Qiang.

Because Hong not only has a high rank, but also possesses a domain that other powerful councilors cannot resist.

Therefore, when Yanhuang Weifang recruits talent using Lu Jin's name, they can only say that their leader is the First Speaker, not the world's strongest person.

But things are different now. Hong was defeated by Lu Jin, and the title of the world's number one powerhouse can now be officially confirmed. Wei Fang can now also raise this banner.

Don't think that the world is at peace just because the era of monsters is over; that's impossible.

Where there are people, there will be conflict.

The reason why the world's five major powers and numerous independent base cities were able to coexist peacefully in the past was because of the existence of monsters, humanity's common enemy.

Furthermore, the monsters have seriously threatened the survival of humanity, forcing major factions to band together for mutual support.

But now that the monsters can no longer threaten them, it seems that humanity will soon be engaged in a new round of internal strife.

Before the emergence of monsters, countries competed on economic strength and technological level.

But now is the age of martial arts, and the outcome of struggles between nations will be determined by the strong. Naturally, Wei Fang needs to do his best to recruit talent.

Of course, in this round of struggle, Yanhuang is in a strong position and is already invincible.

How badly the opponent will be defeated depends on the First Speaker's mood. That afternoon, the Wei faction established a special inspection team and stationed it in six major base cities across the country.

The entire inspection team consists of six inspection groups, each led by one of the six newly appointed councilors from the Wei faction, and comprised of ten warriors and illusionists at the God of War level.

Subsequently, with the full cooperation of the city's security bureau, the various inspection teams secretly began collecting evidence of illegal and disciplinary violations by criminals.

Will there be a protective umbrella to cover it up?

It was precisely because of this consideration that Lu Jin specifically asked Wei Fang to arrange for six War God-level illusionists to join the inspection team.

No matter how tight-lipped you are, under the illusionist's mental illusion, you'll have to honestly confess.

Originally, the Yanhuang Guard did not have six War God-level Illusionists.

After all, there are very few mentalists, let alone illusionists of the War God level.

However, thanks to Lu Jin's previous training, and the fact that Wei Fang also had Lu Jin's previous contribution, "The Secret Manual of Illusionists," which allowed the controllers to cast mental illusions after cultivation, they managed to gather six War God-level illusionists.

Three days later, in the afternoon.

Lu Jin, who was randomly sending Kunlun Orders into the universe through the Kunlun Mirror, received a text message from Luo Feng, who was undergoing training in Australia.

'good! ’

After checking the text message, Lu Jin nodded to himself in satisfaction.

Despite the influence of his little butterfly, Babata still set his sights on Luo Feng.

Late at night, Luo Feng, who had successfully inherited Hu Yanbo's legacy, arrived at the Zijing Pavilion.

"how?"

In the living room, Lu Jin asked Luo Feng.

"Brother Jin, you've lost out big time."

Reflecting on his trip to Foggy Island in Australia, Luo Feng said with a smile.

After learning some basic information about the vast universe from Babata, Luo Feng believed that the legacy left by his teacher, Huyanbo, was the most precious thing on Earth.

Lu Jin's innate psychic talent is also at a completely solid level, no less than his own, and even stronger.

If one were to go to Lu Jin, one would certainly be able to inherit the tradition.

It's fair to say that Luo Feng felt Lu Jin was about to lose everything.

He didn't know how to make it up to Lu Jin in the future.

Touching his chin, Lu Jin said, "If you feel I've been taken advantage of, then from now on you can call me godfather? I'll keep things separate with Uncle Luo and the others."

One is the immortal legacy of barely being granted a title of nobility, the other is the identity of the future Lord Luo's adoptive father. Those who have read Swallowed Star know which is more important.

"No way! I still want you to call me godfather!"

Luo Feng refused without hesitation.

You want to be my godfather? I'd like to be your godfather too!
Having acquired the inheritance of an immortal god, Luo Feng's ego inflated slightly, and he began to think about things he had never dared to imagine before.

"Luo Lao Er, you've gotten too big for your britches. Who gave you the illusion that you can be my godfather?"

Lu Jin said with a serious expression.

Luo Feng straightened his back and said, "Brother Jin, you probably don't know, but the inheritance I received this time was left by an immortal god who is a powerful being throughout the entire universe."

I, Luo Feng, am the successor of the immortal gods!
Seeing Luo Feng's proud expression, Lu Jin smiled and asked, "What level of immortality?"
