Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 78 The Clock of Time

Inside the control room of the Glorious spacecraft.

"Master, the four from Nuolanshan will be arriving soon."

Fatty gave Lu Jin a hint.

"Ah."

Nodding slightly, Lu Jin activated his supernatural ability, Thousand Transformations, disguising himself as a seventh-level universe martial artist.

The third-tier supreme-grade Radiant Sword materialized in his hand, and the clothing transformed from the fifth-tier supreme-grade Force Battle Suit 'Starry Sky Battle Armor' on his body flowed and restored into a starlight armor covering his entire body. Then, he flew out of the Radiant Spaceship.

Holding his sword, standing in the vast starry sky, Lu Jin soon saw the figures of the Flowing Light Guardians and the four from Nuolan Mountain.

"My lord, may I ask what your orders are? My Nuolanshan family will do everything in our power."

Having recognized Lu Jin, who was completely shrouded in starlight armor, as the main character, Nuolanshan bowed respectfully and asked.

A crisis is both a danger and an opportunity.

The lifelike mechanical puppet under the command of the main figure before us is at least a Domain Lord in strength, and there is even a possibility that it has the strength of a World Lord, which shows that it has an extraordinary background.

If there is no irreconcilable conflict between the other party and the Nuolanshan family.

By employing the art of skillful communication, the Norlhan family might be able to transform the current danger into an opportunity for family development.

At this moment, Nuolanshan had no idea that Lu Jin had come to Binglan Star with the intention of eliminating him.

"Defeat me, or die!"

Lu Jin glanced at the blue-scaled man with sharp horns on his forehead, then pointed his Radiant Sword directly at Nuolan Mountain.

This eighth-level martial artist and mentalist who looks like a demon should be Baikaluo, the Blade Clan genius whom Luo Feng enslaved in the early stages of the original story.

However, Lu Jin didn't care. Calling someone a genius was just an understatement.

They're already at the cosmic level, yet they haven't even crossed the threshold of the lower-level primordial laws. Looking across the universe, can this really be considered a genius?

‘It’s over! ’

The four people from Nuolanshan's eyes darkened.

The four were no novice; they had seen plenty of the filth in the universe.

If you can't win, you'll definitely die, but even if you win, you're not guaranteed to survive.

"May I ask where you come from, sir? What has my Nuolanshan family done to offend you?"

Yu Ke-Nuo Lanshan asked in a deep voice.

"You lowly ant, do you even deserve to know my origins? Die!"

Lu Jin rebuked him without any politeness, his body radiating a field of light as he activated his innate secret technique, the 'Divine Mantra of Light,' and slashed his sword down towards Yu Ke-Nuo Lanshan.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing this, the four transformed their clothes into Force armor and Force weapons into their own, and used a secret technique to meet the sword light unleashed by Lu Jin.

They are all decisive people. Since the fight has already started, let's join forces to defeat this unknown 'big shot' first.

Of course, if this important figure is not strong enough, they should hold back and not let the opponent lose too badly.

"boom--"

Time stopped!

Just as the four blocked the sword's edge, Lu Jin secretly activated his innate secret technique, 'Control of Time'.

'Wow—'

As Lu Jin's body shone brightly with the power of the primal force, a mysterious fluctuation of time arose, instantly enveloping the area where the four people from Nuolanshan were located.

In an instant, the four members of Nuolan Mountain felt their consciousness go black, and they were plunged into a dark and silent world.

At this moment, apart from their consciousness still being able to think, the four of them lost all ability to move.

In reality, the four members of Nuolanshan were caught off guard and stopped in the starry sky.

"Floating light!"

"A fleeting glimpse!"

"Light Fades!"

"Shuying!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lu Jin unleashed four sword beams, some white and some black. "Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"

The next moment, the sounds of four sharp blades piercing through flesh rang out almost simultaneously.

Four sword beams carrying immense power slashed across the necks of the four unsuspecting individuals, tearing through their Force suits.

With a splatter of blood, four fine heads flew off.

With the sudden appearance of the Time Stop technique and the aid of numerous secret methods, Lu Jin instantly killed four universe-level powerhouses, including the 'Cosmic-level Giant Axe Warrior' Nuolanshan.

Without much effort, Lu Jin completely resolved the Nuolanshan family, who had caused a lot of trouble for Earth in the original story.

At this moment, a dazzling golden light emanated from the headless corpse of Nuolanshan.

And on Baikaro's corpse, a dazzling golden light shone.

'A critical hit, a sublimation?'

Lu Jin raised his eyebrows, overjoyed.

Suppressing his desire to investigate, Lu Jin gazed at the distant starry sky for a moment, then with a thought, 108 first-tier Black Mongol slaves from his world ring appeared beside him.

"Owner."

Everyone bowed respectfully.

"On Icestorm Star ahead, kill all those that have reached the Stellar level."

Lu Jin pointed to the distant Ice Storm Star.

The Noranshan fleet that went to Earth was there with the intention of enslaving the Earthlings.

He only killed members of the Nuolanshan family on Icestorm Star who reached the star level; this already shows that Master Lu is kind-hearted.

Otherwise, if the wheels are laid flat and then cut, that would be retribution for the Nuolanshan family.

As for the higher-ups of the Nuolanshan family who are not currently on Binglan Star?

Lu Jin doesn't need to worry about this. If those remnants don't run away in time, the other forces in the Carlo Empire will definitely help him.

The universe operates on the principle of survival of the fittest. After losing Noranshan, a cosmic-level giant axe warrior, the Noranshan family is no longer qualified to continue to enjoy its original benefits.

One whale falls and all things come to life; the Nuolan Mountain family falls, and other families feast—this is only to be expected.

After all, it was Nuolanshan who provoked the wrong people, attracting hundreds of universe-level powerhouses to come to their door.

"Yes, Master!"

Without hesitation, everyone bowed and paid their respects before taking flight towards the distant Ice Storm Star.

After returning to the Glorious spaceship, Lu Jin's consciousness sank into the external storage space to explore.

When the thought touched the two orbs of light, the golden light dissipated, and the golden critical strike fell from the orbs, transforming into a platinum-gold battle sword, on which countless intricate and mysterious runes were engraved.

The golden light that sublimated and fell transformed into a white book with a large clock pattern on the cover.
