Devouring Star: Thunder Lord

Chapter 386 Single-Target Mechanical Treasure: Dark Lightning Wings

"I didn't expect to have to wait any longer, so let's go back and wait a bit longer."

Yang Yu then returned to the island and quietly awaited the assignment of the title-granting mission.

This wait lasted for hundreds of years.

This also marked the beginning of the second era in the world of Jin.

The other forces in the Cosmic Sea who were observing had roughly understood some of the laws governing the Jin world after exploring in the previous era.

So this time, many more cosmic lords and the strongest beings in the universe came.

They all hoped to seize enough opportunities in the world of Jin to contend with the rising power of humanity, and even transcend reincarnation.

then.

The world of Jin welcomed another large number of outsiders.

At the same time, powerful members of the human race and some powerful members of the Hong Alliance also entered the Jin world.

One day, Yang Yu woke up from his secluded cultivation and unexpectedly received a message that a title quest had begun.

"It really is in the Valley of the Gods, but it's still quite far from here."

Yang Yu smiled as he stood up, took out the pure white tomb ship, and flew towards the outside world.

At Yang Yu's current speed, it would take him more than a month to reach God King Valley.

After 40 days.

The vast and expansive central ocean of Jin.

A pure white boat glided past like a phantom and came to a stop above a large island.

The island below is the famous 'God King Realm'.

Yang Yu stowed the boat and stood high in the air, looking down.

The entire continent of the God King Realm was a breathtaking landscape of undulating mountains and numerous lakes. Surrounding it all was a vast blue sea.

As Yang Yu observed, he also discovered that the undulating mountain ranges below were outlined with patterns of laws, forming a mysterious array that enveloped the entire God King Realm.

Just as Yang Yu was preparing to observe further.

A black phantom instantly appeared in front of Yang Yu, while the surrounding void completely solidified. "Important territory of the God King Realm, trespassing is prohibited!"

“Void True God.” Yang Yu understood. Feeling the frozen space around him, he quickly said, “I am Lei Ting, a soldier of the Eastern Army’s Python River Army, here to carry out a mission to be granted a title.”

"Sergeant Thunder?"

The Void God, clad in black armor, looked at Yang Yu, examined him carefully, and then the surrounding space returned to normal.

"Follow me." The Void God immediately flew downwards.

Seeing this, Yang Yu also flew over. At the same time, he looked at this Void God.

This Void God was clearly a tribal warrior, with an overall appearance very similar to a human, possessing a robust body as if cast in bronze, six ears, and a pair of eyes that gleamed with an eerie light.

Even standing in the void, it exudes a powerful aura.

"Thunder greets Your Excellency," Yang Yufei said, bowing as he approached.

"I am one of the guardians of the God-King Realm, named Cang Yan," the Void True God said directly. "If you want to undertake a title conferment mission, then come with me. I will take you to the God-King Valley. Without my guidance, you will not be able to reach the God-King Valley at all."

"Yes," Yang Yu replied.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Cang Yan, a guardian of the God King Realm, led Yang Yu on an ultra-long-distance teleportation to the God King Valley.

During their journey, Yang Yu also chatted with Cang Yan.

I learned some secrets about the God King Realm.

soon.

The two then arrived above a beautiful valley.

“That is the Valley of the Gods.” Cang Yan pointed down. “Back then, His Majesty the God King often resided in the Valley of the Gods in the God King Realm. I have already informed the guards of the Valley of the Gods that you have come. Go ahead, the guards of the Valley of the Gods will not stop you.”

"Thank you, Lord Cangyan." Yang Yu said.

"And that nine-story tower!" Cang Yan pointed to the tallest building in the entire God King Valley, "That's Wu Qi Tower. Go there, and I hope to see you come out alive after this title-granting mission."

The guard Cang Yan shook his head and then instantly disappeared.

Yang Yu looked at the nine-story tower, but his heart remained completely unmoved.

With his current strength, even if this title mission is difficult, he can easily sweep it aside.

The question is whether or not it can gain the approval of the Lieyuan Technique.

Ultimately, it depends more on whether it suits you.

Whoosh!
Yang Yu flew straight over.

……

The Valley of the Gods is heavily guarded.

However, the guards knew that Yang Yu was there for a 'title-granting mission', so they didn't stop him. They simply sent a telepathic message: "No flying is allowed inside God King Valley."

So, Yang Yu walked through the Valley of the Gods and went directly to the foot of Wu Qi Tower.

Wuqi Tower is over a thousand light-years tall, making it the tallest building in God King Valley.

Beneath this majestic building, there were six figures.

"Soldier, come here." One of the six figures, a silver-horned beast that was perched there, growled. This silver-horned beast was the only true god in the vicinity, while the other five figures were all masters of law.

Yang Yu immediately went over.

"You are the second Law Master in this batch," the silver-horned beast growled. "According to the rules, every ten soldiers enter the Wuqi Tower as a group to participate in the test. There are two batches entering the Wuqi Tower now, and you are the third batch. You should wait until we have ten soldiers before entering."

Yang Yu nodded to indicate that he understood, then found a patch of grass nearby and sat down casually, quietly waiting for the assessment to begin.

During this time, other soldiers who had come to participate in the mission also approached Yang Yu to talk, trying to extract some information.

However, Yang Yu was too lazy to pay attention to them. More than 90% of the soldiers here would not live to see the end of the mission, so there was no need to waste time and energy getting to know them.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and finally the tenth soldier of this batch arrived.

Once he had seen enough people, the silver-horned beast god immediately got up from his prone position.

"Ten soldiers have been assembled!"

"You are the third batch of soldiers to enter Wuqi Tower. I'm telling you in advance that most of the first two batches of soldiers in Wuqi Tower are already dead. I hope I can see you come out alive again."

The other soldiers were shocked upon hearing this. "Most of them are dead already?"

Yang Yu was not surprised. Title-sealing missions are inherently dangerous, and the 90% mortality rate is no joke.

However, those who dare to come here are absolutely the elite of the four major armies.

Even so, the mortality rate is still so high, which shows that this title-granting mission is indeed quite difficult.

It is at least much more difficult and dangerous than the 'Reincarnation-level' missions in special legions.

"Boom~"

In the distance, a gate hundreds of light-years high is slowly opening.

The enormous gate emitted a dazzling light that made it difficult for Yang Yu and the others to look directly at it, while an endless pressure emanated from the Wuqi Tower.

"Go in," said the Silver Horned Beast God.

Yang Yu and his group of ten soldiers exchanged glances, and then almost simultaneously transformed into streaks of light, flying towards the majestic gate. Not a single soldier dared to teleport rashly.

Wuqi Tower, the first level of the world.

This is a vast desert world.

A cold wind blew by, making it extremely cold, and frost was faintly forming on the sand.

In the distance, there is a huge portal to space.

Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ten figures flew in through the spatial gate, each looking around before slowly landing, maintaining a sufficient distance between them, and standing on the desert, surveying their surroundings.

Clearly, these tribal warriors and soldiers of the beastmen were well aware that the mission itself was dangerous.

But the greater danger undoubtedly comes from the other sergeants who are also on the mission.

After all, this mission did not explicitly prohibit killing each other.

In the armies of the Jin Dynasty, this is no different from encouraging infighting.

In the endless yellow sand.

Yang Yu gripped the Thunder Blade, looking around as he gazed into the distance.

The other soldiers were the same, vigilant about their surroundings and about those around them.

Suddenly, "Boom!"

In the peaceful desert world, a huge rumbling sound suddenly rang out.

All that could be seen was the sky above the distant desert world.

A dazzling pillar of lightning twisted and extended downwards, and in just a few seconds, the huge cyan pillar of light connected the desert and the endless sky.

"what is that?"

"Is the mission about to begin?"

The soldiers were filled with doubt.

Just then, on the surface of the endless blue pillar of light connecting the sky and the desert, huge black characters suddenly appeared as it twisted.

Every word exuded overwhelming killing intent, which directly invaded the minds of every soldier below.

The killing intent was so powerful that it even slightly affected Yang Yu's will, causing a trace of killing intent to rise involuntarily in his heart.

However, it was only a slight disturbance. Yang Yu focused his mind slightly, and the killing intent was completely suppressed.

But the other soldiers were clearly not as strong-willed; their eyes turned bloodshot, and they fell into a state of 'mania'.

Black text continued to appear one after another.

"This is the passage connecting the first and second floors of Wuqi Tower."

"Those who enter the passage can proceed to the second floor of Wuqi Tower."

"A sergeant must be killed to enter the passage."

"If the other soldiers are not killed, they will never be able to leave. Those who have not entered the second level will be annihilated before the next batch of soldiers open the gate again."

Those who seek refuge in warship-type treasures to avoid battle will be considered defeated and annihilated!

Black text, suspended in mid-air, exudes endless pressure.

The killing intent contained in the words alone was enough to make each soldier feel uneasy. They had no doubt that such power could easily annihilate them, who were merely soldiers at the level of universe lords.

"As I thought, then let the slaughter begin!"

A flash of coldness suddenly appeared in Yang Yu's eyes.

The Thunder Blade in his hand suddenly drew a bright purple blade.

"Wow~"

As soon as the blade flew out, it transformed into lightning and struck a lean tribal warrior not far away.

This sergeant had tried to extract information from Yang Yu on several occasions, which Yang Yu disliked.

Naturally, he was the first person they targeted.

"what?"

This sergeant came from the Western Army's special legion. He had gone through several cycle-level missions and accumulated a lot of military merits, but his strength had stagnated for a long time. He thought he would come here to try his luck and see if he could break through the bottleneck or even complete this supreme title mission.

Before coming, he naturally collected a lot of information and exchanged all his military merits for powerful mechanical treasures.

However, the 'Dark Thunder Wing' mechanical treasure he had exchanged for clearly sensed Yang Yu swinging his sword at him, and he sensed it too, and was about to react.

but.

It's still too late!

Even though the Dark Thunder Wings, which are worth a lot of military merit, can increase his strength by three major levels, they can also extend into armor to protect his entire body.

However, the secret technique he created was only at the sixth level. Even with the first level of the Divine Power Burning Secret Technique and the speed amplified by the Dark Thunder Wings, he still couldn't escape the lock of this blade's light.

"boom!"

The moment the blade appeared, it struck the soldier.

"boom!!!"

The blade's light, which had been restrained to the extreme, suddenly exploded, even though the Dark Thunder Wings were still intact.

However, the divine bodies of the soldiers inside were completely annihilated.

one strike.

An elite soldier from a special legion, who had undergone countless trials, fell.

"what!"

"Get away from this Python River Army sergeant in his dark red armor!"

The others were shocked to see Yang Yu kill an elite soldier with a single, effortless strike. They all instinctively distanced themselves from Yang Yu, not wanting to provoke this killing god.

"Shh!"

Yang Yu took a step forward and arrived in front of the fallen soldier. He swept his soul power over the soldier and absorbed his true spirit without making a sound. Then, with a wave of his hand, he collected the spoils left behind by the soldier.

Immediately, the mental imprint probed into the pure black, wing-shaped mechanical treasure in his hand.

In an instant.

Yang Yu successfully recognized this powerful mechanical treasure called Dark Thunder Wing as his master.

"Tsk tsk, not bad mechanical treasure."

The moment the master was recognized, a message was transmitted from the Dark Thunder Wings.

Yang Yu also learned that this was a single mechanical item with excellent overall performance, and it would take a full 180 million military merits to exchange for it in the military equipment points.

It excels in both straight-line acceleration and small-scale maneuvering, and has no weaknesses in offense. The armor it emits is comparable to that of a Void God.

A perfect single-target mechanical item.

Furthermore, once all the secret runes are refined and mastered, they can unleash an attack power exceeding three levels of one's own once activated.

It also provides a certain boost to movement speed, physical defense, and soul defense, but this depends on the user's own level of law.

If the user can create a seventh-level movement technique and then burn divine power to unleash it through the Dark Thunder Wings, there is still a sliver of hope to avoid the blade strike that Yang Yu casually unleashed.

But it's obvious.

The fallen elite soldier did not create such a high-level secret technique.

In the desert world.

The other eight soldiers tacitly kept their distance from Yang Yu before engaging in combat with each other.

Having obtained a handy mechanical treasure, Yang Yu didn't rush to slaughter them. Instead, he devoted a sliver of his mind to refining the secret runes within the Dark Thunder Wings.

In any case, once they enter this world, the soldiers' treasures won't disappear into thin air; they will all end up in the hands of the last survivors.

Yang Yu can then kill the last survivor.

Ignoring their fighting, Yang Yu was currently using the avatar of Fei Cang beside the black-patterned stone pillar to fully analyze and refine the secret patterns in the Dark Thunder Wings.

With time accelerated by hundreds of thousands of times.

In less than a minute.

Yang Yu then completely refined and controlled the Dark Thunder Wings.

"Wow~"

With a thought, the Dark Thunder Wings in Yang Yu's hand instantly transformed into black liquid, enveloping his entire body and forming a pure black battle armor. Its defensive power far exceeded that of the 'Python River Armor,' and it could even weaken soul attacks by 90%.

He certainly deserves 180 million military merits.

Then, a pair of jet-black wings also extended from Yang Yu's back.

The edges of the wings are extremely sharp blades.

When flying at extremely high speeds, these sharp wing blades can also cause extremely terrifying damage.

The original Python River Armor was forced out of its body, and Yang Yu put it into his World Ring.

Protective treasures can only be used once; multiple uses will result in incompatibility.

This is why powerful individuals are always pursuing even more powerful treasures.

"With these Dark Lightning Wings, things will be much easier from now on."

Yang Yu smiled faintly as he looked into the distance.

At this point, three of the eight soldiers had each killed one soldier, leaving only one pair of soldiers fighting each other.

It looks like the outcome will be decided soon.

Seeing this, Yang Yu didn't care who won in the end. With a flap of his wings, he transformed into a black phantom and rushed into the cyan pillar of light in front of him.
