Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 51 Cone Shield Formation: Four Forms

"Not bad!"

Lu Jin nodded to himself.

The first form of the Radiant Cone, the 'Light Dragon Cone', does not have the powerful tearing effect that the Sky Shuttle's 'Mountain Drill Cone' does when it attacks.

However, the 'Light Dragon Cone' is extremely fast and has a very strong penetrating ability.

"Dragon Shield, Condense!"

With a thought, Lu Jin's light dragon cone disintegrated and transformed into 365 triangular light cones.

They then reassembled, coalescing into a round shield with a diameter of one foot and a coiled dragon pattern on it.

With the infusion of twelve streams of spiritual energy, white threads burst forth and converged, and the Panlong Round Shield emitted a dazzling white light.

In an instant, the foot-long coiled dragon shield transformed into a white dragon-patterned light shield about a meter in diameter.

"Light and Darkness Control, Condense!"

Lu Jin's thoughts shifted again, and he withdrew the spiritual power he had injected. The white dragon-patterned light shield dissipated, transforming into a foot-long coiled dragon round shield.

As twenty-four streams of spiritual energy were injected, and the secret patterns burst forth, white and black light emanated from the coiled dragon shield.

Immediately afterwards, the white light and black light separated, splitting into two dragon-patterned light shields, one black and one white.

"Yin——"

The next moment, the dragon's roar reappeared, and the dual shields of light and darkness swirled around Lu Jin.

As the white and black light diffused, the dual shields of light and darkness condensed around Lu Jin's body into a spherical energy shield that flowed black and white, providing protection from every angle.

"Light and Darkness Array, Condense!"

Subsequently, the shape of the radiant cone changed again, the light and darkness dissipated, and the dense triangular light cones re-aggregated into a platinum dragon head.

Twenty-four strands of spiritual energy were injected, and secret patterns burst forth. As the platinum dragon head shone with black and white light, an energy dragon body emerged, and a black and white divine dragon instantly solidified.

Immediately, light and darkness separated, and the black and white dragons transformed into two intertwined energy dragons, one black and one white, each about ten feet long.

The white dragon exudes an aura of boundless light, giving people a sense of radiant, sacred majesty.

The black dragon exudes an endless aura of darkness; though it doesn't feel evil, it gives one the feeling of gazing into an abyss.

In Swallowing the Stars, the 'light' among the eight lower-level laws refers not only to brightness, but also to light.

Where there is light, there is darkness. Light is one manifestation of the law of light, and darkness is also one manifestation of the law of light. The two seem to be opposites, but in fact they are two sides of the same coin.

Therefore, Lu Jin wasn't surprised that the secret runes engraved on the Light Cone, a weapon of light-based psychic power, could produce both light and darkness.

"go with!"

Lu Jin raised his hand again and pointed to the small hill in the distance.

"Yin——"

With a series of dragon roars, the intertwined dragons of light and darkness transformed into black and white streaks of light and launched a rapid attack.

With a flash of light, the twin dragons of light and darkness attacked instantly.

"Rumble--"

With his sharp eyes, Lu Jin saw that the 100-meter-high hill in the distance had evaporated and turned into scattered dust under the terrifying attack of the 'Light and Darkness Array'.

Even on the dust-shrouded land, a huge crater with a diameter of over a hundred meters appeared.

'Unfortunately, he hasn't grasped the domain yet.'

Lu Jin thought to himself with regret as he recalled the Light and Dark Array.

The 50-fold increase in mental power amplitude has reached the mental power amplitude requirement for cultivating the fifth form of the "Radiant Array" secret technique.

However, cultivating the 'Radiant Array' requires more than just meeting the standard in terms of mental power amplitude; it also requires the combination of domain power.

Suddenly, Lu Jin had a thought. Immediately, based on the original twenty-four strands of mental energy, Lu Jin poured another twenty-four strands of mental energy into the twin dragons of light and darkness formed by the light and darkness array.

It merges with the original mental power to form twenty-four strands of mental power with twice the amplitude, totaling forty-eight times the amplitude.

"Om-"

A slight tremor was emitted, and the twenty-four strands of mental energy could not be perfectly synchronized. The light and dark array collapsed instantly and transformed back into a dense triangular cone of light.

"Wow—"

Lu Jin was not discouraged. He unleashed his psychic power once again, and the 365 triangular light cones reassembled.

This time, the twenty-four strands of spiritual energy, with double the amplitude, were perfectly controlled, and the intertwined dragons of light and darkness reunited.

"go with!"

Lu Jin raised his hand and pointed to the distant land.

"Yin——"

With a series of dragon roars, the twin dragons of light and darkness swiftly broke through the air and attacked.

"boom--"

As black and white light flashed, a violent shockwave erupted, and dust instantly filled the distant land, leaving behind a huge crater.

Seeing this, Lu Jin nodded in satisfaction.

As expected, the upper limit of the psychic power amplitude of the Light-Dark Array is not just 24 times the psychic power amplitude, but even 48 times the psychic power amplitude is not the upper limit.

As long as the injected mental energy consists of twenty-four strands, each with an amplitude multiple of no less than one, and the intensity of the mental energy is consistent, then any amplitude multiple of mental energy is acceptable.

Moreover, this applies not only to the Light and Dark Array, but also to other forms of the Radiant Cone.

The runes engraved on the telekinetic weapons are actually solidified secret techniques.

The casting of secret techniques does not limit the amplitude of the user's mental energy; it is only fixed at the minimum requirements for casting.

'You inherently evil golden-horned behemoth, you'll get your beating next time!'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

If he remembered correctly, the cooldown time for the Golden Horned Beast's critical strike was about the same time that Luo Feng's Earthling clone was born.

At that time, the Golden Horned Beast's level could reach the third rank of a star.

Compared to the Golden Horned Beast of the third rank of stars, the difference in basic attributes between him and the peak of the ninth rank of planets is between 16 and 32 times.

Without exceeding 100 times the physical exertion and psychic power amplitude, his innate secret technique 'Light God Mantra' is five times stronger than the Golden Horned Beast's innate secret technique 'Enhancement'.

In other words, the basic gap is actually only about 3 to 6 times.

Aside from the martial artist's strength, with a psychic power amplitude of up to 50 times, the Radiant Cone that is extremely sharp compared to the scales of a stellar-level Golden Horned Beast, and the power boost from the "Radiant" secret technique, it is enough to defeat the Golden Horned Beast Luo Feng, who has not yet had time to master more secret techniques.

Not to mention he also has a thousand times the damage reduction from material attacks, and the innate secret technique 'Time Stop' that the third-tier stellar golden-horned behemoth Luo Feng absolutely cannot resist.

Due to limitations in their own strength, the innate secret technique 'Time Stop' may not be able to affect powerful individuals.

But if the target is only stellar-level, then there's definitely no problem.

Luo Feng can not only be a good teammate, but also a big fat sheep to fleece. He definitely can't kill the Golden Horned Beast.

However, challenging and defeating opponents of higher levels is second only to killing those of higher levels. If this is done over a longer period, Luo Feng will definitely be able to get his hands on everything he has.

Moreover, if a critical hit or even an ascended drop occurs, what he gets is an even stronger, upgraded version.

Afterwards, Lu Jin put away the Radiant Cone and took out the Tier 3 Force weapon 'Radiant Sword' that had been extracted from Atkin.

The aspect of psychic power amplitude has come to a temporary halt due to the lack of secret manuals; it's time for the physical exertion multiplier to surge.

With the "Light and Shadow Sword Manual" as a guide, barring any unforeseen circumstances, his martial arts strength will surpass that of the controller.
