Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 308 An Irreconcilable Gap, World Beast Tiga
Not long after, the Lord of Azure Sky, who served as the Lord of the Hall of Life, personally delivered the three thousand immortal-level demonic beasts that Lu Jin had requested.

After sending Qingcang away, Lu Jin selected an Immortal Army Lord-level wolf demon and used his Divine Body: Manipulating Creation to genetically modify it.

The higher the level of genetic modification, the more precise the control required for the modification process.

Even with his current strength, it would be difficult for him to transform a large number of targets into genetically modified life forms with extremely high gene density at the same time.

To ensure the successful modification, genetic modification can only be performed on a small number of organisms or a single organism at a time.

With the commencement of genetic modification, the life gene level of this immortal wolf demon, who was both lucky and unlucky, began to surge.

Tenfold gene. Hundredfold gene. Thousandfold gene. Ten-thousandfold gene. Thirty-thousandfold gene. Sixty-thousandfold gene.
Soon, the immortal wolf demon's life gene reached 89999 times, and then underwent a qualitative change, reaching the 90,000 times life gene of the third level of the divine power route.

The next moment, Lu Jin thought for a moment, and his ethereal divine power surged out, launching a soul attack at the immortal wolf demon with an extremely high life gene ratio.

'boom! ’

A terrifying soul attack swept through, and in an instant, the immortal wolf demon, who had just reached the pinnacle of its wolf life, was annihilated and died.

Immediately, the wolf's corpse was stuffed into the Demon Refining Pot and decomposed, transforming into a Bloodline Source Crystal filled with numerous golden light spots and a variety of resources.

"Shh!"

With the freshly made Bloodline Origin Crystal in his hand, Lu Jin quickly began to examine it carefully.

'Hu~'

After counting twice, and finding that there were still 90,000 golden dots inside the bloodline crystal, Lu Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The "Miro Supreme Diagram" combined with supernatural powers—the ability to manipulate creation and change one's own level of expertise in life genes—is so powerful that it can modify the genetic level of other life forms to a certain extent, which is truly somewhat unfair.

If nothing unexpected happens, the supreme rules probably won't allow such a powerful existence; there will likely be some restrictions.

Otherwise, if it were so easy to create a gene that is 100,000 times stronger, it wouldn't deserve the highest rules' congratulations.

Fortunately, even with limitations, 90,000 times the life gene is still not at the point of touching the forbidden zone.

From 90,000 times the gene strength to nearly 100,000 times the gene strength, both belong to the third level of the divine power route and are not fundamentally different.

In other words, if there are limitations, they would only be limited to 100,000 times the genetic potential. The upper limit for the transformation of the Divine Body of Creation should be 99999 times the life genetic potential.

Even with limitations, achieving 99999 times the life gene density is already quite remarkable.

After all, even the Duan Donghe lineage, which has a God-King level inheritance, and Zuo Shan Ke, who was a God-King in his previous life, had never heard of a strong person with 100,000 times the life gene.

It is evident that 99999 times the life gene count represents the upper limit of life genes in the conventional sense.

Even many god-kings on the Origin Continent failed to reach this limit before becoming true gods.

Putting aside other aspects, from the perspective of life genes alone, every one of the current powerful beings in the Heavenly Court has the potential to become a God-King!

Shaking his head, Lu Jin ignored the limitations and began modifying the life genes of the remaining numerous immortal demon beasts.

After much effort, the three thousand immortal demonic beasts disappeared, transforming into three thousand bloodline source crystals with ninety thousand times the life gene.

Subsequently, Lu Jin notified all the powerful beings at the level of Universe Lord or above in the Heavenly Court through the virtual universe to gather at the Lingxiao Palace.

Even those who were currently training in the Jin world were teleported back by Lu Jin using the Kunlun Mirror.

In the Lingxiao Palace of the Great Luo Heaven, more than two thousand figures gathered.

Compared to 100,000 epochs ago, the number of powerful beings above the Heavenly Court Universe Lord level has increased exponentially, with over a thousand new Universe Lords joining.

Among them, six hundred cosmic lords were cultivated using the divine status of laws.

There are also nearly four hundred other universe lords who cultivated themselves up by comprehending the enlightenment diagrams of the two superior laws.

This includes the former ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, who was once jokingly called the "most incompetent person of the human race," and is now the master of the Qianwu Kingdom, a core member of the Qiankun Palace.

After the number of Heavenly Generals in the Heavenly God Temple reached one thousand, Lu Jin stopped directly assigning newly promoted Universe Lords to the Heavenly God Temple.

Instead, they were allowed to choose for themselves to join the various palaces and become high-ranking members of the Heavenly Court.

"Shh!"

On the nine-colored throne, the water unicorn clone, transformed into human form, teleported over.

"Meet the Emperor of Heaven!"

Everyone bowed and said hello.

"No gift~"

Lu Jin raised his hand in a gesture of support.

"Cangwu, how many Primal Treasures does my Heavenly Court possess in total?"

Lu Jin looked at the Lord of Lingbao Hall, the Lord of Cangwu.

"Reporting to the Heavenly Emperor, including those currently in use, the Spirit Treasure Hall has 6 top-tier Origin Treasures, 37 high-grade Origin Treasures, and 529 ordinary Origin Treasures, totaling 572 Origin Treasures."

The Lord of Cangwu stepped forward and said.

Apart from Lu Jin possessing a top-tier primordial treasure, all the primordial treasures of the Heavenly Court belong to the Spirit Treasure Hall.

The Primal Treasure is normally useless; it is only used when the divine body is damaged.

Therefore, Lingbao Hall does not sell original treasures, but provides rental services.

Lu Jin instructed, "Collect as many Origin Treasures as possible, even if they are just ordinary Origin Treasures."

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor."

The Lord of Cangwu responded.

Ordinary primordial treasures are anything but ordinary; they can increase the efficiency of divine power recovery a thousandfold, and any universe lord can use them without any reduction in power.

Entrusting it to a cosmic lord whose divine body is not large would not be very efficient in harnessing the divine power of the sea of ​​cosmic origin laws.

However, if it were a cosmic lord with a divine body 1.2 million light-years away, the efficiency of exploiting the divine power would be absolutely remarkable, and the Heavenly Court could then launch a divine power recycling plan.

The divine body expands to 1.2 million light-years, then 10% of the divine body is chopped off and transformed into countless universe-master level life source crystals through the Demon Refining Pot. Then, with the help of the primordial treasure, the divine body is restored, and the cycle repeats endlessly.

Through this method, the Heavenly Court can realize its plan to fleece the primordial universe on a massive scale.

Life Source Crystals have a wide range of uses. For example, after this cycle of reincarnation ends, the Heavenly Court can use Life Source Crystals to provide the divine power needed to expand the divine body when cultivating infinite divine bodies again, without having to specifically search for treasures containing countless energies.

evil ways?

No, no, no, the Divine Power Recovery Program will follow the principle of voluntariness.

Besides, it's not like I can't make money, and it's not like I can't recover.

Then, with a thought, Lu Jin conjured 2900 Bloodline Source Crystals with a power of 90,000 times. 2875 of them flew toward the Lord of Cangwu, while the remaining 15 landed in front of Zi Nishang and Hong'er, the seven people beside him.

One Zi Ni Chang, and two each for each of the seven Hong'er who possessed the Nether Sea clone.

Lu Jin said, "According to the division of the 'Miro Supreme Diagram,' the divine power path can be divided into four levels."

Thirty thousand times, sixty thousand times, ninety thousand times, and the highest one hundred thousand times.

The highest level of life genes, which are 100,000 times stronger, are somewhat special and cannot necessarily be obtained through external means.

This batch of Bloodline Source Crystals will be available in the Spirit Treasure Hall later, and will only be accessible to members of the Heavenly Court Universe Lord and above. After refining them, one can achieve a life gene of 90,000 times the third level.

If you need them, you can apply for them at the Lingbao Hall later.

Each 90,000x Bloodline Origin Crystal originally costs 100 million Treasure Points, but discounts are available depending on your privilege level.

Zi Ni Chang and Hong Er are different; they are all his women, so naturally they are free.

Other members of the Heavenly Court, however, need to take out loans to purchase them.

True gods such as Dhritarashtra and the heads of various departments of the Heavenly Court, such as Zi Zhenfeng and Xu Xin, have the highest discount authority of 60%, and each 90,000-fold Bloodline Source Crystal only requires 60 million Treasure Points.

For ordinary universe masters, the discount can be as high as 30%, and each 90,000x Bloodline Origin Crystal requires 70 million Treasure Points.

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor."

The Lord of Cangwu put away many bloodline source crystals.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zi Nishang and the other seven people thanked her happily.

'I just paid off the loan of 10 million Treasure Points to the Heavenly Spirit Palace, and now I have to take on a loan of 60 million Treasure Points.'

Xu Xin secretly thought that she would keep urging Luo Feng on.

'I have the authority to apply a 30% discount to achieve the 90,000 times life gene at the third level of the Divine Power path, but I need to take on a huge loan of 70 million treasures.'

Tsk~, back in the day, a mere four treasure points were enough to stump me, Qianwu! Times have changed!

The Lord of the Dry Witches sighed inwardly.

At this moment, the Lord of Qianwu felt that the wisest decision he had ever made was choosing to follow the great Heavenly Emperor when he had the freedom to choose.

Perhaps his strength is not among the top ranks within the Heavenly Court.

However, if we disregard the powerful figures of the Heavenly Court, the Lord of Qianwu's strength is among the top in the entire primordial universe.

At this moment, Lu Jin said again: "When the divine power route reaches the third level with 90,000 times the life genes, one can become an infinite divine body."

Although the Infinite Divine Body is not truly infinite, it can still expand to a maximum of 1.2 light-years.

Such a massive divine body would require a very long time for most of you to complete its expansion.

The number of primordial treasures is limited, and priority will be given to universe lords who possess avatars in the Nether Sea.

After a pause, Lu Jin continued, "Given that the expansion of the Infinite Divine Body requires a massive amount of divine power, our Heavenly Court must make plans for the future."

When this cycle of reincarnation ends, we will no longer be beings from the primitive universe era. In the future, all members of the Heavenly Court will rely on the supply of small universes for all their divine power needs.

Therefore, while they can still take advantage of the primordial universe, the Heavenly Court will launch a plan to reclaim divine power.

I possess a special treasure that can transform the bodies of living beings into Life Source Crystals of the corresponding level. These Life Source Crystals can be used as Divine Source Liquid.

The colossal divine body, spanning 1.2 light-years, combined with the primordial treasures and the time acceleration of various celestial realms within the Heavenly Court, resulted in an extremely considerable amount of divine power recovery.

Those who are willing to make sacrifices for the Heavenly Court and earn Treasure Points in the process can sell a portion of their divine body to the Spirit Treasure Hall.

Cangwu, the specific acquisition price should be determined internally by your Lingbao Hall. Just be careful not to let the Treasure Points exchange system collapse.

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor."

The Lord of Cangwu immediately responded.

The assembled Heavenly Court powerhouses: "."

I'm so touched!
His Majesty the Great Heavenly Emperor, worried that we wouldn't be able to repay the loan, actually came up with a 'divine acquisition' plan.

Is it possible to pay off debts by selling meat?

After a while, the meeting ended and everyone rushed to the Lingbao Hall to apply for the 90,000 times gene bloodline source crystal and rent the original treasure.

Even if they couldn't borrow the original treasure for the time being, they still submitted a rental application, since they would get their turn sooner or later anyway.

Even the most ineffective ordinary primordial treasures are not disliked by anyone, since they can at least increase the speed of divine power recovery by a thousand times!
However, the twelve true god-level Heavenly Kings did not need to rent the Origin Treasure.

As true gods, they can no longer exploit the primordial universe; they can only transform smaller universes by absorbing chaotic energy.

At the same time, Lu Jin went to the Hundred Flowers Imperial Court and gave the Empress the remaining one hundred 90,000-fold Bloodline Source Crystals in his pocket.

There were plenty of Bloodline Source Crystals, but Lu Jin didn't mind; the extra ones could simply be used as inventory for the Hundred Flowers Imperial Court's treasury. However, this time, Lu Jin didn't choose to enjoy the warm hospitality of the Imperial Court's high-ranking officials.

After all, it's a visit to the Water Kirin's clone, so it's not advisable to experience the extremes of water and fire.

Three thousand years after the beginning of the primordial universe.

Inside the Hall of Ascension in the Great Luo Heaven, Lu Jin himself was researching a secret technique.

Three thousand years have passed since the outside world. Although he has not yet been able to expand all his divine bodies to their limits, his main body, the water unicorn clone, and the time dragon clone have already achieved divine bodies of 1.2 light-years. What he lacks is only a large number of blood god child incarnations.

Suddenly, Fatty's voice rang in Lu Jin's mind: "Master, the Four Heavenly Kings of the Four Directions are looking for you."

"Send them to the Lingxiao Palace in the virtual universe."

As Lu Jin spoke, he separated a wisp of his consciousness and logged into the virtual universe's Heavenly Court plane.

Before long, in the virtual universe, in the Heavenly Court's Lingxiao Palace, the Eight Heavenly Kings entered the palace.

"Emperor of Heaven."

The Eight Heavenly Kings bowed in respect.

"What's the matter?"

Lu Jin waved his hand and asked.

"Heavenly Emperor, our divine bodies have expanded to their limit."

"Dhritarashtra said."

"So fast?"

Lu Jin was stunned.

The speed at which the Eight Heavenly Kings recover their divine power is linked to the strength of their own microcosmic origins and cannot be accelerated by other factors.

When the eight people became true gods, they hadn't even reached the first level of the divine power path.

Their small universe origins are so weak compared to the current extremely large expansion limit of divine bodies that it's no exaggeration to say they're like a small horse pulling a train.

According to Lu Jin's original calculations, it was absolutely impossible for the eight people to complete the expansion of their divine bodies so quickly.

"Heavenly Emperor, after filling the gap in divine power caused by the enhancement of life genes, we have been unable to increase the size of our divine bodies again."

"The King of Growth said in a deep voice."

Lu Jin frowned and asked, "Is it still the limit of one hundred billion kilometers?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the eight Heavenly Kings all nodded.

With a life gene of 60,000 times, one can be guaranteed a divine body that can travel 100 million kilometers. In addition, the supernatural power of the third level of the Law of Heaven and Earth can increase the height of the divine body by a thousand times.

Even before they achieved 90,000 times the life gene, their divine bodies had already expanded to a size of 100 billion kilometers.

Then, Guangmu Tianwang said, "Although the upper limit of the size of the divine body has not been increased, it has gained the characteristic of being able to control its size. In the future, there will be no need to suppress the size of the divine body with secret methods, and the power can be fully exerted."

The divine body is inherently a human form that facilitates movement. Although it is towering over hundreds of billions of kilometers, the eight of them are not as inconvenient to move as the World Tree or the Nine Nether Sea.

However, in general, suppressing the originally enormous divine body with secret techniques will inevitably have some impact on the exertion of strength.

The current achievement of 90,000 times the life gene and the ability to control size at will has made up for this shortcoming.

"It seems that the Laws route, compared to the Divine Power route, affects more than just small universes! It was a mistake of mine to make that decision back then."

Lu Jin couldn't help but feel a little guilty as he spoke.

Indeed, some things are already fixed the moment one becomes a true god.

When the Eight Heavenly Kings became true gods, their life genes were only about 20,000 times stronger.

Compared to achieving true godhood with 90,000 times the life genes, the difference is not just the strength of the origin of the small universe, but also the elimination of the divine body advantage of 90,000 times the life genes.

Achieving true godhood through the path of laws, and then making up for it later, would only replenish the strength of divine power; the size of the divine body would only reach the second level.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Seeing that Lu Jin was somewhat remorseful, the Eight Heavenly Kings immediately prostrated themselves in unison.

"I am terrified."

"Your Majesty, you must not do this."

"Without the favor of the Heavenly Emperor, we would not have achieved what we have today, and we would probably have turned to dust long ago."

The eight people spoke earnestly.

"Sigh~, get up. Matters of the foundation are not absolute, and there may be ways to make up for them in the future."

With a sigh, Lu Jin waved his hand in a gesture of support.

He firmly believes that all helplessness stems from a lack of strength.

With enough strength, the strong are capable of anything.

This includes revising past scripts to suit one's own preferences.

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor."

The Eight Heavenly Kings stood up.

Afterwards, Lu Jin gave the Eight Heavenly Kings a few more words of encouragement before letting them leave.

On the other side, at the peak of the cosmic sea, in the core area.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

At the edge of the dark land, black mist surged and spread.

Compared to the early stages of this cycle, the black mist permeating the edge of the Dark Land is much thicker.

Especially since tens of millions of years ago, the speed at which the black mist spread has increased significantly, and the aura emanating from the entire dark place has become increasingly unsettling.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a dark light shot out from the dim place, then slowed down and stood in the void.

It was a huge humanoid monster whose entire body was shrouded in a dark light.

The monster has two arms, two legs, and two hideous heads, each with a single eye, a nose, and a mouth, exuding an overwhelming aura of evil.

"Hmph! Bedy, you just wait. The only reason I, Tiga, can't beat you in the nest is because you were lucky and ate a little more."

"The cosmic ocean is so vast, with so much delicious food; I, Tiga, will definitely return!"

The hideous monster growled in a low voice, clearly dissatisfied.

"Whoosh!"

Immediately, the ugly monster Tiga transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the vast expanse of waves ahead.

At the same time, a majestic, cloud-patterned, purple-gold palace, radiating boundless pressure, floated above the vast expanse of waves.

Inside this majestic purple-gold palace, a figure with long, blood-red hair and clad in blood-red armor sat at the head of the hall.

He is the incarnation of the Blood God Child who wields the 'Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace,' a supreme treasure of the Heavenly Court's mass-produced palaces.

Moreover, there are over a thousand Blood God Child incarnations who control the Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace above the entire Ten Thousand Waves Water Area.

At first, Lu Jin only deployed one hundred Blood God Child incarnations to seal off the dark place.

Later, to be on the safe side, the number of Blood God Children deployed was increased to as many as a thousand.

With their exceptionally wide field of vision and powerful sensory range, the thousand Blood God Child avatars are sufficient to monitor the entire outer perimeter of the Dark Land.

Ensure that no creatures from the cosmic sea can silently enter the dark place and be killed.

This also ensures that no Beast of the Realm can leave the Dark Land and enter the Cosmic Sea without him noticing.

'Shuh! '

Suddenly, the Blood God Child avatar within the Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace opened his eyes, his gaze traversing the void and landing on a streak of evil black light that had flown out of the dim land in the far distance.

"The unexpected event has finally occurred?"

Lu Jin whispered.

According to the original story, the first World Beast appeared in the Cosmic Sea not in the present, but trillions of years later.

However, Lu Jin knew from the very beginning that his presence and influence were a factor.

As beings that are opposed to the original universe, the appearance time of the World Beasts will definitely not be exactly the same as in the original work.

Everything has two sides, just like how the primordial will of the universe, facing a crisis, pulled the corpse of the God King of Jin from a distant, unknown place to the active area of ​​the powerful beings in the Cosmic Sea, in order to enhance the strength of the powerful beings of various forces in the Cosmic Sea.

With the overall strength of life forms in the cosmic sea being extremely high, they are subtly guided by the supreme rules.

The mindset of the Beasts in the dimly lit Beast Nest will inevitably evolve from their original 'laid-back' attitude to 'resilient king', accelerating the process of determining the Beast King.

During this process, due to the large number of Beasts in the universe, and the saying "a large forest has all kinds of birds," it is inevitable that some Beasts will violate the characteristic of "naturally unwilling to leave their nests" and choose to go to the Cosmic Sea to find easy targets.

Then, with a thought, Lu Jin rode the Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace and teleported repeatedly toward the newly born Beast of the Realm.

Not long after.

"Shh!"

A majestic, purple-gold palace, radiating boundless pressure, suddenly appeared before the rapidly flying, evil dark light.

"!!!food?!"

Upon seeing the magnificent purple-gold palace that suddenly appeared in front of him, the Beast Tiga was first startled, then overjoyed.

Look what this is!
Food was delivered to my door?!

"You lowly food, have you brought me a snack?"

Stopping in mid-air, Tiga spoke arrogantly.

'A single thought arises in the void!'

Without uttering a word, Lu Jin's mind stirred, and the Nine Heavens Divine Armor that transformed into blood-red armor unfurled two pairs of blood-red wings. As the secret runes of the second pair of wings were activated, a void formed within a radius of hundreds of light-years, blurring the outside world.

Immediately following, the second level of the supernatural power, Three Heads and Six Arms, was activated, and the core secret runes of the third level of the Nine Heavens Divine Armor were driven. As the aura emanating from his body surged, the supreme domain, the Endless Sea of ​​Blood, condensed.

In just a moment, the Beast Tiga, who was in the vast sea of ​​blood, felt a terrifying aura erupt from the purple-gold palace in the void in front of him, and at the same time, an extremely strong restrictive force acted on him.

"You lowly food, you're asking for death!"

The newcomers were hostile, and they seemed to have transformed from a delicious snack into a terrifying beast. Tiga roared and activated his divine power: Blood Burning Technique.

'tumultuous--'

Instantly, the evil aura emanating from the World Beast Tiga surged, and its entire body was enveloped in a chilling crimson glow.

Immediately afterwards, the World Beast Tiga raised its head and opened its evil maw.

'Wow—'

Without a sound, this silent scream formed a terrifying soul attack, instantly traversing space and landing on the Blood God Child's avatar inside the wide-open Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace.
