Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 313 Apocalyptic God, The Onslaught of the Realm Beasts

"If you don't have some special skills, you won't catch the eye of your seniors, will you?"

Lu Jin said with a smile.

"That's true. Your secret technique level has reached the twelfth rank?"

Nodding slightly, the mountain dweller asked.

"Shh!"

With a thought, Lu Jin unleashed a burst of divine power, which traced the intricate runes of the twelfth-tier secret technique 'Eternal End' in mid-air.

"The Ten Laws have begun to merge... Hmm? There's even a trace of destruction left?!"

Gazing at the secret pattern drawn by Lu Jin with divine power, the Mountain-Sitting Guest's eyes widened in astonishment.

Although he didn't cultivate the Great Dao of Destruction in his previous life, he had at least seen pigs run, even if he hadn't eaten pork.
After a long pause, the Mountain Guest nodded and said, "It is indeed a twelfth-order secret technique."

Although the secret technique was not fully unleashed, the Mountain Dweller could tell from the pressure and structure emanating from the secret pattern that it was a twelfth-order secret technique.

"Shh!"

The next moment, the Mountain-Sitting Guest raised his hand and waved, and a silver-gray humanoid mechanical vessel, about a meter tall and exuding endless pressure, appeared.

At first glance, it looks like a humanoid mechanical sculpture.

"Apocalypse God, a single mechanical treasure that surpasses the level of a true god."

It contains three layers of secret runes. Activating each layer of secret runes will increase one level of strength. If one can create a top-tier twelfth-level secret technique, there is a chance to comprehend the third layer of secret runes.

According to the power ranking algorithm of the Cosmic Sea, the upper limit of the power enhancement effect of the God of Revelation can reach the top level of the twentieth rank.

Furthermore, it cannot be destroyed without a material attack that surpasses the limits of two levels beyond that of a true god.

"Sitting Mountain Guest said to Lu Jin."

After visiting the Jin World and carefully selecting items from the treasure vault, the Mountain Dweller ultimately chose the 'Heavenly Revelation God,' a small-batch, mass-produced mechanical treasure equipped with high-ranking military officers.

Actually, there are some in the treasure vault that have a higher potential than the God of Revelation.

However, those mechanical treasures are on a much higher level than true gods. True god-level beings have no hope of comprehending the secret patterns inside the treasures and simply cannot use them.

"Thank you, senior."

Lu Jin smiled as he accepted the Heavenly Revelation God and infused it with divine power to acknowledge it as his master.

A level that surpasses that of a true god means that the God of Revelation is a Void True God-level single-unit mechanical treasure.

Only a material attack that surpasses the limits of two levels of true godhood can destroy it, meaning that only an eternal true god with the ultimate strength can destroy the God of Revelation.

The power boost from the top 20th level of the Apocalypse God was already sufficient before venturing into reincarnation.

Subtracting the three-tier upgrade from the Heavenly Revelation God, subtracting the three-tier upgrade from the third level of the supernatural power: Three Heads and Six Arms, and subtracting the one-tier upgrade from the 100,000-fold increase in life genes.

As long as the level of the secret technique does not exceed the top thirteenth rank, the Void True God-level single-target mechanical treasure, the Apocalypse God, can enhance one's strength by three ranks without any reduction.

Then, Lu Jin said, "Senior, do you still have any of the Apocalypse God items? If so, I would like to purchase three more."

The Zhuxian Sword Formation requires the main body and three clones to be activated together.

If the main body has the God of Revelation, but the three avatars don't, then they will be a hindrance to the main body.

"Don't push your luck, kid!"

"The mountain dweller couldn't help but say."

Young people are so greedy!

Although he didn't care about the three Apocalyptic Gods, the Jin World Treasury had plenty of them.

But I am the reincarnation of the God King of Jin. You can just ask me to give it to you. Don't I have any dignity?
We can't give it to them, absolutely not!
Otherwise, given the greedy nature of young people, they will definitely take advantage of your kindness in the future.

"Senior, you misunderstand. I'm not being unreasonable. It's just that one Heavenly Revelation God isn't enough."

Lu Jin explained.

"The people of Heaven are none of my concern."

The man sitting on the mountain seemed to have no room for negotiation.

Lu Jin shook his head and said, "No, what I said isn't enough; it's simply that I myself am not enough."

"Huh? Your clone didn't disappear?"

The mountain dweller raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Your insight is truly remarkable!"

Lu Jin showered him with compliments.

Upon hearing this, the Mountain Guest pondered for a moment, but decided to be stingy this time, saying, "If you can unleash the full potential of the God of Revelation, as long as the Beast King doesn't appear, it will definitely be enough. There is no essential difference between one and four pieces."

I can't let young people think I'm too easy to talk to, otherwise, wouldn't I, the dignified God-King, become a babysitter?
Looks like we'll have to use something really serious!

Then, Lu Jin asked, "Senior, do you know how big my miniature universe is?"

These words immediately piqued the curiosity of the mountain dweller.

The Mountain Guest had long heard of Lu Jin's miniature universe, which was a billion light-years in diameter.

Even with his knowledge, he couldn't understand why Lu Jin's miniature universe was ten times larger in diameter and a thousand times larger in volume than other true gods.

At this moment, Lu Jin said again, "Senior, do you still remember that golden light that illuminated endless time and space before?"

If Luo Feng in the original story could achieve 100,000 times the life gene, then he will definitely achieve the same in the future.

It's not a secret that's unique to us, so it's fine to tell the people sitting on the mountain in advance.

After a moment's thought, the Mountain Guest said, "Kid, you've won. I'll get the rest of the three Heavenly Revelation Gods for you."

He was genuinely curious about this matter, and to satisfy his curiosity, he figured it wouldn't hurt to let the young man have a go at it again.

Lu Jin smiled and said, "The first level of the Divine Power Route is 30,000 times the gene, the second level is 60,000 times the gene, and the third level is 90,000 times the gene."

However, the limit of the divine power path is not infinitely close to 100,000 times, but a true 100,000 times life genes.

In other words, there are actually four levels of the divine power path.

When one achieves true godhood with 100,000 times the life genes of the fourth level, supreme rules descend to celebrate.

Furthermore, the diameter of these miniature universes is no longer the uniform 100 million light-years, but rather 1 billion light-years, with the origin of these universes being a thousand times larger than that of ordinary true gods.

"Ten thousand times the life gene"

The man sitting on the mountain fell silent.

So, there really are 100,000 times more life genes?
In the Origin Continent, the three levels of the Divine Power route are widely known.

From 90,000 times to almost 100,000 times, all belong to the third level of the divine power path.

Since genes that are infinitely close to 100,000 times larger are not integers, some powerful individuals have speculated whether there are 100,000 times more life genes on them.

However, since no one has achieved this, or rather, the achievers are not known to the outside world, no one can come forward to provide concrete evidence; it only exists in the realm of imagination.

Unexpectedly, this idea actually came true, and Lu Jincheng even managed to realize it.

After thinking for a moment, the mountain dweller said, "Could you tell me how to achieve a life gene of 100,000 times?"

Since there are 100,000 times more life genes, we should naturally strive for them if we can.

His disciple Luo Feng will be able to use it in the future, and even he himself will be able to use it after reincarnation and cultivation.

Lu Jin said with a righteous expression, "Senior has helped me a lot, so I will not be stingy."

The Heavenly Court possesses a life gene map with a 100,000-fold increase in power, known as the "Miro Supreme Map".

Furthermore, the World Beast is a pseudo-100,000 times life gene.

If one possesses sufficient comprehension, whether through studying the "Miro Supreme Diagram" or researching the life structure of the Beasts of the Realm, it is theoretically possible to achieve a life gene multiplied by 100,000.

Upon hearing this, the mountain dweller looked at Lu Jin with surprise.

They even have a life gene map that is 100,000 times larger than the original size. Judging from this, the inheritance that young people have received is quite remarkable!
At the very least, as the reincarnation of a god-king, he couldn't even be certain whether the life gene with 100,000 times the strength existed before.

'Could it be a super strong expert at the Yuan level?'

The mountain dweller, his heart burning with excitement, thought to himself.

Of course, this enthusiasm is not due to greed for inheritance, but because the mountain dweller feels that his chances of successfully avenging himself in the future have greatly increased.

Unlike the secret art of willpower, 'Lieyuan Technique', this thing is not a super strong 'Yuan' that was specially bestowed upon a certain life.

Just like a fisherman casually scattering bait in a fishpond, 'Yuan' doesn't care who can actually succeed in cultivating it.

But a complete inheritance is different; this is something a master prepares for his personal disciples.

Super strong individuals like 'Yuan' may very well have reached a point where they are unkillable.

When the inheritor faces an enemy, such a powerful figure may not make a move, but will treat everything as a test.

But it is absolutely impossible for outsiders to seize the inheritance.

While the legacy of an ordinary strongman can be seized, the legacy left by a super strongman cannot be forcibly taken by outsiders. This is the understanding of all the strongmen on the Origin Continent.

Furthermore, judging from Lu Jin's personality, although he is very cruel to his enemies, he is very friendly to his own people with whom he has a good relationship.

Like the star sector guardians under the Heavenly Court, who are at the level of cosmic overlords.

In the eyes of the Mountain-Sitting Guest, many people originally had no hope of achieving immortality, and even becoming a world lord was a problem, but they were still smashed into cosmic overlords by Lu Jin.

He has long been an angel investor and will continue to invest more in the future. If the young man soars to great heights, he may be able to ride on his coattails in the future.
The extraordinary inheritance, the life genes that are 100,000 times greater than what we can comprehend, and the fact that he reached the level of the twelfth rank of secret techniques immediately upon becoming a true god—all of this makes it worthwhile for him to increase his investment.

Time flies, and a thousand epochs have passed since the beginning of the primordial universe.

Inside the Hall of Ascension in the Great Luo Heaven.

'Finally, it's reached the pinnacle of the twelfth tier!'

Looking at the Eternal End Secret Technique runes drawn with divine power in front of him, which were half a step further than before, Lu Jin nodded in satisfaction.

While a thousand epochs have passed outside, within the Hall of Ascension, where time is accelerated ten thousand times, a hundred million epochs have already elapsed.

Over a period of one hundred million epochs, with the blessing of the Bodhi Tree's enlightenment, and the incomplete understanding of the chaotic evolution he had previously gained, Lu Jin perfected the Eternal End Secret Technique from its original twelfth level to the top level of the twelfth level.

In addition to perfecting the secret method of Eternal End, he also cultivated the supernatural powers of Three Heads and Six Arms and Law of Heaven and Earth to the third level.

Needless to say, the third level of the Three Heads and Six Arms technique definitely needs to be repaired.

The third level of the Law of Heaven and Earth is useless within the cosmic sea because one has already achieved an infinite divine body.

But after passing through reincarnation and going to the Origin Continent, once the size of the divine body 'shrinks,' it will come in handy.

However, the mechanical treasure 'God of Revelation' has only had its first two layers of runes fully comprehended so far, due to its treasure grade reaching the level of a Void True God and its high level of internal runes.

Even so, Lu Jin's strength had increased to an extremely terrifying level.

The Mountain Guest had already given the other three 'Heavenly Revelation Gods' to Lu Jin.

After activating the second layer of the Heavenly Revelation God's secret runes, the main body and its three avatars, relying on their supernatural powers—the third layer of three heads and six arms, and ten thousand times the life gene—wielded any one of the four immortal swords of the Immortal Execution set.

The twelfth-tier top-level secret technique, Eternal End, can fully unleash the power of a nineteenth-tier top-level technique. Furthermore, if the Eternal End secret technique is used on top of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, it can unleash the power of a twenty-second-tier top-level technique.

With such strength, aside from the Beast King, Lu Jin has become truly invincible in the Cosmic Sea.

Subsequently, Lu Jin made some minor adjustments to the Eternal End, making it suitable not only for use with the Four Swords of Zhuxian, but also for use with the God-Slaying Spear.

While the God-Slaying Spear doesn't enhance one's strength as much as the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.

However, compared to the four swords of Zhuxian, the God-Slaying Spear is still stronger, especially when dealing with targets that possess a soul.

The cosmic sea.

"Whoosh!"

A streak of dark light flashed across the void filled with endless chaotic energy and appeared outside a small universe with a diameter of one hundred million light-years.

"Delicious! Absolutely delicious!"

Gazing at the miniature universe in the distant void, and sensing the delicious aroma emanating from the origin of the universe, the Beast Zorro trembled with excitement, its massive black tail whipping wildly.

"Hahaha~, delicious, here I come!"

Laughing and cheering, the Beast Zorro was enveloped in an evil black aura.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Strands of black light shot out, tracing arcs centered on the Beast Zorro, enveloping the small universe ahead.

As these black light threads approached the miniature universe, they gradually blurred and eventually disappeared, merging with the space where the miniature universe was located in the distance.

'Whoosh whoosh whoosh—'

As it devoured, streaks of brilliant light continuously traveled along these arcs of black light from the distant miniature universe, and then entered the body of the Beast Zorro.

"Mmm~, so this is the taste of the origin of the universe, it's so wonderful!"

As the first mouthful of cosmic origin entered his body, the Beast Zorro trembled even more noticeably.

At this moment, Zorro, the Beast of the Realm, felt even more strongly that leaving the lair was a wise decision.

If it doesn't leave its nest, where will the origin of the universe come from for it to devour?
If it doesn't come to the Cosmic Sea to find small universes to devour its origin, how can it stand out, achieve a leapfrog development, and become the supreme king of the world beasts?
Meanwhile, in the center of a small universe some distance ahead, within a plane, a majestic temple stands in mid-air.

A burly figure with a humanoid body and nine heads (one large and eight small) on its neck sat quietly at the head of the hall.

'Shuh! '

Suddenly, the nine-headed demon lord's divine power avatar, who was sitting quietly at the head of the temple, frowned slightly and opened his eyes.

After concentrating and carefully sensing for a moment, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord's expression changed.

For some unknown reason, the cosmic origin that sustains the existence of the entire mini-universe is rapidly weakening, as if something is devouring the cosmic origin of his mini-universe.

If this trend continues, it will probably take less than ten days or half a month for the origin of one's own miniature universe to completely dry up, at which point the entire miniature universe will collapse directly.

"Damn it! What kind of beast is this?!"

As he was cursing, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord suddenly remembered the World Beast that the three Ancestral Gods of the Ancestral God Sect had mentioned, which could destroy and devour everything.

The small universe is inexplicably weakening, something he has never experienced before.

Aside from the Beast of the Realm, there is absolutely no other possibility.

"It's over, it's over. Why did the Beast of the Realm have to appear at this time of year?"

At this moment, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord panicked.

It should be noted that his true body is still training in the Jin world, while what remains in the small universe is merely an incarnation of divine power.

Moreover, due to the immense power of the cosmic membrane of the Jin world, and the fact that it is not currently in a 'safe passage period', his physical body simply cannot return in time.

It can be said that he had no power to resist the overwhelming force of the Beast of the Realm.

"All lords of the universe, come quickly!"

After a moment of change in expression, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord suddenly roared.

With the power of the miniature universe, the voice of the Nine-Headed Demon Lord resounded directly in the minds of all the universe lords within the miniature universe.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

In just over ten seconds, eighteen cosmic lords teleported in succession and entered the Nine-Headed Demon Palace.

"Greetings, Demon Lord."

The eighteen cosmic lords, some as their true forms, others as their avatars, and still others as manifestations of divine power, spoke with utmost respect.

The Nine-Headed Demon Lord immediately ordered, "The World Beast has arrived and is devouring the origin of a small universe. You must quickly contact the powerful forces in all directions of the Cosmic Sea, especially the human race in the Primal Universe, and be sure to ask them to lend a helping hand."

"World Beast?"

The lords of the universe inside the hall were startled. The Beast of Destruction had actually appeared?
What they didn't know was that the Beasts of the Realm had already appeared, but because the Cosmic Sea was too vast and the number of small universes of the True Gods was very limited.

This is why, to this day, the Cosmic Sea has only seen its first case of a Beast devouring the origin of a small universe.

"Why don't you go quickly?"

The Nine-Headed Demon Lord roared angrily.

"Yes, Demon Lord!"

The lords of the universe quickly agreed and then sent out messages for help through various channels.

Inside the Hall of Ascension in the Great Luo Heaven.

Without much effort, the twelfth-tier top-level secret technique 'Eternal End' added a spear technique version to the sword technique.

As for telekinetic weapons?

Having no suitable telekinetic weapon at hand, Lu Jin abandoned the Controller version of the Eternal End Secret Technique.

Anyway, the God-Slaying Spear and the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords are enough, not only in the Cosmic Sea, but also in the Origin Continent in the future.

Without achieving Hunyuan, there's no need to consider the issue of insufficient weaponry.

Just then, Fatty's voice rang out: "Master, the Lord of Chaos City has initiated a Supreme Conference, stating that a Beast of Realms is devouring the Origin outside the Nine-Headed Demon Lord's small universe, and the Nine-Headed Demon Lord is seeking help from various forces in the Cosmic Sea."

"The Nine-Headed Demon Lord?"

Lu Jin raised an eyebrow.

In the original novel, this old man was rather weak-willed and became a servant of the Beast Realm. In the end, he was forcefully killed by Luo Feng, who carried the original embryo into the small universe.

It remains to be seen whether the Nine-Headed Demon Lord will kneel down and beg for mercy, then act as a guide for the Realm Beasts.

In the virtual universe, in front of the Supreme Temple, Lu Jin appeared with a group of high-ranking officials from the Heavenly Court.

"Ling Xiao, congratulations on breaking through to True God."

Congratulations on your breakthrough!

"Congratulations."

Everyone congratulated Lu Jin.

However, despite the congratulations, everyone wisely refrained from asking about the mysterious golden light that illuminated endless time and space.

After some pleasantries, seeing that all the members of the Supreme Council had gathered, the Chaos City Lord, who was presiding over the meeting, said in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord's small universe origin has been devoured by a World Beast. Should we lend a helping hand?"

"The Nine-Headed Demon Lord is no good, why bother with him?"

"Exactly! This guy's strength isn't bad either. I heard he's already surpassed the top tenth rank. Surely he can't even handle a single world beast?"

"You know what, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord is really unlucky. His true form should still be in the Jin World."

"What? The Nine-Headed Demon Lord's true form is still training in the Jin World?"

"I think we can test the quality of the Beast and prepare for the best."

The people present were discussing it animatedly.

"Ling Xiao, what do you think?"

Giant Axe turned to look at Lu Jin.

Lu Jin said, "Unless a Beast from another realm devours the small universe origin of a true god of a race, the Heavenly Court will not take action."

He wasn't just trying to force a deal; he wanted to leverage the enemy's power. If the primordial will didn't come to him for help, he wouldn't take action against the world beast.

"Ling Xiao, how strong is the Realm Beast?"

Chaos City Lord asked.

Everyone present looked at Lu Jin.

So far, only Lu Jin has fought against the Beast of the Realm, so Lu Jin knows the best about the quality of the Realm Beast.

Lu Jin said, "According to different strengths and levels, the Beasts of the Realm are divided into seven stages: the first to the sixth level, and finally, the only Beast King."

A first-tier world beast, with strength approximately at the eighth or ninth tier.

A second-tier world beast, when unleashed at full power, is roughly equivalent to a top-tier eleventh-tier beast.

As for third-tier and higher realm beasts, with all due respect, there are only a very small number of true gods in the current universe whose strength is no less than that of a third-tier realm beast.

"Sigh~"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present gasped in shock.

Does a second-tier world beast possess the strength of an eleventh-tier top-tier beast?

It should be noted that even with the support of the Divine Power Burning Secret Technique and the Mechanical Flow Treasure, the vast majority of those present still failed to reach the peak of the eleventh rank.

As for a giant axe at the True God level, it possesses a top-tier ninth-order secret technique, a divine power burning secret technique that raises it two orders, and a True God-level mechanical treasure that raises it three orders, so its strength is only at the top fourteenth order.

According to calculations, the giant axe's strength is equivalent to that of a third-tier world beast.
What about the appearance of higher-level fourth, fifth, and even sixth-tier world beasts?
After a moment of contemplation, Giant Axe asked with a solemn expression, "Ling Xiao, what level of world beast can you deal with?"

"These mere beasts are nothing more than a minor ailment."

Lu Jin said, not caring much.

Setting up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation would be enough to directly clear the dark land where Luo Feng had just resolved the crisis of the World Beasts, let alone the dark land at this stage.

Of course, a deal must be made with the will of the origin before the dark land can be leveled.

He's always the one who gets to take advantage of others for free; he can't let others do it for free, even if they're the victims he often takes advantage of.

Perhaps infected by Lu Jin's confidence, the tense atmosphere at the Supreme Conference immediately eased considerably.

This Heavenly Emperor has never suffered a loss since he rose to power.

It's not that he's always been invincible, but rather that this Heavenly Emperor is very cunning. He never fights a battle he's not confident of winning, and he certainly won't provoke enemies he can't control.

With the sixth prince in this position, the Heavenly Emperor was destined to have great confidence in dealing with the Beasts of the Realm.

Fortunately, Lu Jin didn't know what everyone was thinking, otherwise he would have overturned the table at the Supreme Conference.
