Humans are devouring and selling off the heavens

Chapter 373 The Great Luo and Everyone's Eternal Star

Luo's mind was in turmoil. After the initial shock came an overwhelming joy. The newly restored imperial aura around him trembled slightly with excitement.

He was no ordinary emperor; he was a true top-tier emperor, a peerless figure even among the emperors of the Primordial Era, far surpassing the likes of the Ice Phoenix. He possessed the most supreme mythical form in the world.

By the time of human history, after a whole era of accumulation and nurturing, if they were to unleash their full power, their strength would definitely approach the level of the Two Emperors of the East.

Even with such strength, he was still far inferior to the first emperor to create the world, Fuxi, because he could never cross two hurdles: he lacked both the Great Luo and the Metal element.

The so-called mythological form is the supreme Dao fruit formed by the ultimate evolution of the light of one's own mind.

Only by comprehending the true meaning of the Great Luo, understanding the origin of the metal element, and then integrating the two with one's own Dao fruition, can one reach the ultimate stage of cultivation and achieve the realm of the inner universe.

The Great Luo Golden Nature is still traceable; it is a method of the Way and a method of action. With his supreme status as the Lord of War, he draws upon the endless source of war power in the world. Even without any extra opportunities, according to his estimation, he only needs to quietly accumulate for three more eras to be able to comprehend the Great Luo.

This is merely a slow way of drifting through life and surviving solely on the passage of time.

As for the nature of metal, although it is somewhat difficult to understand, it is not entirely without a way.

The mythological form is the ultimate sublimation of the light of the soul. Throughout history, across generations of emperors and great powers, apart from Luo, only the Human Emperor Fuxi truly wielded this top-tier mythological form.

He already possesses the most advanced mythological form. If he can further comprehend the Great Luo and understand the Golden Nature, and combine the three, he can achieve the eternal and immortal realm of all time and space in the multiverse. Then, by following the trend and merging with the Dao, he will reach the true ultimate, the true inner universe.

At that time, even Fuxi, the first emperor of the creation of the world, could be overpowered by him. If he were to risk his ultimate body, it would not be impossible for him to rewrite the pattern of the multiverse with a single thought.

However, this realm is too difficult to reach. Let alone the inner universe, let alone the unity of the Great Luo and the Golden Nature, even the Great Luo, since the Chaos Era, through the Primordial Era and the Great Wilderness Era, has traversed the long river of time to reach the Human Era. Billions of years of ups and downs have passed, yet they still cannot grasp the essence of this. The accumulation of time is like an endless road with no end in sight.

But at this moment, looking at the ninety-nine luminous white pills hanging in front of him, Luo felt a raging fire burning in his heart, and extreme excitement swept through his limbs and bones.

A single pill possesses such miraculous effects; its essence is comparable to the accumulated essence and energy of a hundred innate saints.

If he were to consume all one hundred of these pills, the Great Luo barrier that had stood before him for countless years might finally be within his grasp!

In the multiverse, where can you find this level of energy unless you swallow the bottomless abyss?

This is quite normal. After all, in the entire multiverse from chaos to the human era, there are probably only a dozen or so beings that can rival the ninth-order universe of the Swallowed Star World. If the weaker innate saints were to abandon the use of the authority of the multiverse to reshape earth, water, fire, and wind and destroy the universe, their power would only be comparable to that of a universe venerable.

Its energy level inherently determines that this multiverse can only follow the path of the backflow of spiritual light and the accumulation of negativity.

The so-called succession to the throne by relying on luck is essentially the same as relying on the will of the masses, and it is the same path as the accumulation of negative karma.

While the power level of a Lord of the Universe is relatively low, at most destroying tens of light-years, the energy of his divine body is unimaginable, every bit of it comparable to a star, and his divine body is also incredibly large, at least tens of kilometers in size.

The pill that Xu Qing gave him had an energy equivalent to that of a cosmic master with a body spanning tens of thousands of kilometers.

The energy Luo gained from swallowing a pill was almost equivalent to consuming a universe, which speaks volumes.

Of course, this amount of energy is not important to Xu Qing, after all, he is a true god with a perfect divine body, and his size is vast, reaching tens of light-years, which is almost unimaginable.

This is also a special case in the Origin World where the Origin Continent is located in the Infinite Chaos Space. Cultivators in the Origin World generally have larger divine bodies than cultivators in other Origin Worlds.

But Luo didn't know that. He only knew that he had casually grabbed some demons he didn't like and traded them to Xu Qing, and he had obtained such resources and several king-level artifacts. It was like a pie falling from the sky.

Thinking of this, Luo suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and slowly bowed.

"The Pavilion Master bestowed upon me a heaven-defying opportunity, resolving my predicament of countless millennia. I will never forget this kindness. If the Pavilion Master ever commands me in the future, even if it means climbing mountains of knives or plunging into seas of fire, even if it means becoming an enemy of the entire Heavenly Court of the Human Emperor, I will not refuse!"

After saying that, he reached out and summoned a hundred pills and six divine artifacts, all of which fell into his palm.

After doing all this, he bowed deeply to Xu Qing before disappearing back into Hell, waiting to find a quiet place to begin his secluded cultivation and attempt to break through to the Great Luo Realm.

As soon as Luo's figure disappeared, Zheng Zha stepped forward.

He clearly saw the changes in Luo after he took the pill.

Although the Central Continent Team had gained some benefits from the battle against Titan, their cultivation levels were still too weak. Even if they couldn't buy Immortal-level or Universe Venerable-level pills, buying some Eternal-level pills would be a huge boost for them and their teammates.

"Master, I'd like to purchase some high-level pills from you," Zheng Zha said bluntly, without any formalities. "However, I don't have enough reward points. But the Central Continent Team accumulated quite a few side quests during the Titan battle, a full twenty S-rank. I'd like to exchange these side quests for them. Is that possible?"

After he finished speaking, the attic fell silent.

Twenty S-level side quests are already a considerable treasure in the God's Space. Many teams would probably be wiped out and still not be able to accumulate even half of this number.

But Xu Qing raised her eyes, glanced at Zheng Zha indifferently, and continued to tap the table lightly with her fingertips, her expression remaining completely calm.

-

For him now, star-level pills are nothing special; he can easily refine countless things. Just a random universe venerable has countless billions of star-level beings living in his divine kingdom, not to mention his unification of the entire universe sea.

While the S-level side quests in the Main God Space were precious to Zheng Zha and others, they were nothing to him, though still better than nothing.

In short, it's not a loss.

After a moment, Xu Qing nodded slightly, his voice calm and even, yet he had already given his answer: "Yes."

Two words sealed the deal.

A flicker of joy flashed in Zheng Zha's eyes, and he immediately cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Pavilion Master!"

Seeing Zheng Zha bow in thanks, Xu Qing lightly raised his fingertips, and twelve lustrous and solid pills floated out of the void, hovering in front of Zheng Zha.

The elixir contains pure and concentrated energy, making it a treasure capable of elevating a person to the ninth rank of the Eternal Star level.

"Twelve Eternal Star Pills, take them." Xu Qing's voice was calm. As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Zha's twenty S-level side quests and 100,000 reward points were transferred to Xu Qing's hands.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Zha immediately reached out and grasped the pill. The moment his fingertips touched the pill, he could sense the immense energy within it, and he was overjoyed.

"Thank you very much, Pavilion Master." Zheng Zha put the pill into his storage ring, said his thanks, and without delay, disappeared into the ancient pavilion.

"My goodness, is this the eternal star-level pill you were talking about?"

As soon as Zheng Zha took out the pills, Zhang Jie came over first, his eyes fixed on the lustrous and solid pills. He picked one up with his fingers and felt that it was warm to the touch, but there was a deep and solid power pulsating inside. He couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

He was a straightforward person by nature, and without hesitation, he put the pill into his mouth without thinking.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, and a rich, warm current flowed down the throat and into the dantian. It was thousands, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of times more powerful than the energy when the Wood Crystal was first consumed. It surged through the body like molten lava!

Zhang Jie shuddered violently, instinctively arching his back and pressing his hands to the ground, his knuckles turning white from the force.

He could clearly feel that the extremely pure energy was rushing through his body along his meridians, making every bone emit a slight hum, becoming more and more resilient and dense. His muscle fibers were being stretched and strengthened layer by layer, and his genes were slowly stretching and optimizing under the nourishment of this energy, transforming towards a more perfect direction.

In the blink of an eye, that energy merged into his flesh and bones, and his aura suddenly surged, with an incomparably powerful physical strength surging out from his body.

Zhang Jie slowly straightened up, his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief. He slowly clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking, feeling as if his whole body was filled with inexhaustible strength. Every muscle in his body seemed to be frantically telling him that he could shatter everything in front of him with just a light punch!

"Holy crap—that power!"

He let out a low shout, his voice filled with shock, his fingertips trembling slightly as he felt the surging power within him, his heart pounding wildly!

"I feel like my physical strength has increased at least hundreds of thousands of times! What the hell does that mean?!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Jie instinctively threw a punch.

Without activating any genetic locks or telekinetic power, it was purely physical strength, a single punch thrown out.

Suddenly, an unimaginable storm appeared, and in an instant, the surrounding air was compressed like crystal glass, and in the blink of an eye, the area within a hundred miles was instantly drawn into a vacuum.

boom!!

The speed of the sweeping punch exceeded the speed of sound by countless times, and the next moment a huge explosion suddenly rang out.

The ground of the main god space in front of them was even shaken by the aftershocks of the fist, creating huge cracks that stretched for tens of kilometers!

This is the aftershock of a punch thrown in the air!

"Just in terms of physical strength—I'm probably now comparable to a fourth-tier advanced level, or even a peak fourth-tier advanced level!" Zhang Jie muttered to himself, still looking shocked at the scene before him.

"If this punch landed on the ground, it could probably destroy an area within a hundred miles!"

Zhang Jie couldn't help but be shocked; that was a fourth-tier advanced level.

Not to mention the era of the Primordial Era, even in the Heavenly Court of Humanity, he was a famous figure, the strongest below the Saintly Immortal, and in some planes, he was even called a god, second only to the Saints of the God-Supreme God level!

Moreover, this is only a comparison based on destructive power. If we are to talk about combat strength, even a fourth-tier high-level expert's strength, after being nourished by the energy of heaven and earth and strengthened by the gene lock, is only a few tens of tons at most.

In a real fight, Zhang Jie could probably kill those big shots in the Primordial Heavenly Court with a flick of his finger or even a breath.

According to Zheng Zha, this so-called Hengxing-level pill was merely the lowest-grade pill in the Zhutian Pavilion.

"Just what kind of terrifying place is this Zhutian Pavilion?!" Zhang Jie was completely shocked.

The members of the Central Continent Team were already stunned. A glint flashed in Zhao Yingkong's eyes, and she unconsciously took half a step forward, her gaze falling on the remaining pills in Zheng Zha's hand.

Even Chu Xuan, who was usually expressionless, pushed up his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses flickering slightly, as if he were calculating the energy conversion rate of the pill.

Seeing Zhang Jie's shocked expression, Zheng Zha smiled. He had expected the pill to be extremely effective, but he hadn't expected it to increase Zhang Jie's physical strength to such an extent.

He distributed the remaining pills to everyone and said in a deep voice, "Take them all. These pills will greatly strengthen your physical bodies and will be a tremendous help in your subsequent cultivation and battles."

On the other side, Luo and Zheng Zha left one after another, and the ancient pavilion returned to silence. Xu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and a wisp of divine sense probed into the main god space to investigate this transaction and all the gains accumulated in the past.

If you include his past accumulation, Xu Qing has a total of 27 S-level side quests and 910,000 reward points.

This is a fortune that would drive any reincarnation team mad in the Main God Space.

Xu Qing looked down, her lips remaining unmoved, but in her heart she had already reviewed the dimensional exchange prices of the Main God Space.

Based on his net worth, he could buy forty-five demi-planes.

Even those higher-level planes that govern the rules of a region can buy one.

------

Although the palm-sized plane has a deeper foundation and more complete laws, it is not as practical for Xu Qing as the demi-plane.

Moreover, he had already redeemed 11 demiplanes, using up a total of 22 reward points, so he couldn't redeem any more.

Once he made up his mind, Xu Qing did not hesitate for a moment and immediately exchanged for a demiplane.

In the blink of an eye, a beam of pure white light condensed from the void. Each beam of light contained a demiplane, with the nascent earth, water, fire, and wind, and the hazy laws of heaven and earth within, like scattered stars, gently falling into Xu Qing's palm.

Xu Qing raised his hand and made a grasping motion. The forty-five small demiplanes were then enveloped by a gentle yet irresistible force, which transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the depths of his divine kingdom, where it began to absorb energy.

"Now Morosa's dog food will be enough." Xu Qing nodded upon seeing this.

In the original timeline, Morosa only devoured a few god-king level corpses before advancing to the ultimate realm.

Forty-five universes, though their combined origin might not be as great as the original universe they devoured, are still immense enough to elevate Morosa to the level of a god-king.

If Morosa is lucky, he might be able to directly advance to the Ultimate Realm.
