Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 312 The End of Eternity, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation

Our gaze transcends space, looking out into a miniature universe.

Lu Jin saw dozens of treasure palaces floating in the endless chaos, many of which were extremely powerful treasure palaces.

The transformation of an ordinary universe master into a true god might attract the attention of powerful figures from various factions in the universe, but it wouldn't warrant excessive attention.

But Lu Jin is different; his small universe, with a diameter of one billion light-years, is clearly extraordinary.

Some powerful figures even secretly speculated that the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court was not simply someone who had broken through to the level of a True God.

Instead, he broke through twice in a row, skipping the True God realm and becoming a Void True God.

After all, most of the powerful beings in the Cosmic Sea have entered the World of Advancement and know that above True God is Void True God.

A small universe with a diameter of one billion light-years perfectly matches the minimum diameter of the small universe of the Void True God.

Furthermore, a true god who creates a top-tier tenth-order secret technique will surely be able to step into the realm of a true god of the void. Judging from the strength previously displayed by the Heavenly Emperor's avatar, the Blood Sea Demon Ancestor, his realm must be sufficient to reach the point of breakthrough.

"You all must leave immediately, and do not stand outside my miniature universe."

Lu Jin's voice boomed, echoing through a miniature universe.

Why are you all coming to watch?

Could it be that they're plotting something sinister?!
"Heavenly Emperor, have you broken through to the level of True God?"

Inside a majestic, blood-red palace, the Blood Orchid Ancestor asked a question.

According to the intelligence obtained in the world of Jin, the Void True God cannot stay in the Cosmic Sea for a long time. Once he breaks through, he must go through the cycle of reincarnation in a very short time.

If the Heavenly Emperor has already stepped into the realm of Void True God, then the Cosmic Sea will be missing a super demon king.

Lu Jin narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"

At this moment, a probing voice came from a magnificent palace filled with endless flames in the distance: "Heavenly Emperor, could it be that you have only broken through to the True God realm? Is the small universe with a diameter of ten billion light-years the reason for that mysterious golden light earlier?"

The one who spoke was the Crimson Flame Demon God, a special life form born in the first cycle of reincarnation.

Thanks to the emergence of the Jin World, the Crimson Flame Demon God, who was originally only a top-tier seventh-order True God, has now reached the top-tier tenth-order strength by relying on a divine power burning secret technique and a single True God-level mechanical treasure with relatively ordinary effects, and also possesses a palace-type supreme treasure.

"It seems you bunch of scum have gotten too big for your britches. You mere ants dare to ask me all sorts of questions."

Having said that, Lu Jin conjured up the Nine Heavens Divine Armor and the God-Slaying Gun in his hand, and instantly teleported out of the miniature universe.

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

Seeing Lu Jin teleport out of the miniature universe, the group of powerful beings from the cosmic sea who were watching in the void hurriedly used their treasure palaces to teleport away, not even bothering to watch the excitement.

You should know that the Heavenly Emperor is a synonym for cruelty.

This great demon king is exceptionally bloodthirsty, and he never regards the powerful figures from all sides of the universe as human beings.

Anyone who has crossed him has been killed, and to this day, no one in the entire universe has survived.

The Crimson Flame Demon God's question has displeased the Heavenly Emperor, and his demise can basically be declared.

Moreover, those who run slowly may be caught in the crossfire; in fact, it could be said that anyone who gets too close will inevitably suffer.

"Heavenly Emperor, this demon god apologizes for my previous words."

As he teleported away, the voice of the Crimson Flame Demon God echoed from the supreme treasure palace, 'Crimson Flame Demon Palace'.

But at that moment, Lu Jin teleported there.

Thanks to the powerful foundation brought by 100,000 times the life gene, Lu Jin's teleportation distance is in no way inferior to that of an ordinary Void True God.

"Too late! A single thought arises in the void!"

Lu Jin gave a stern rebuke, and endless black light bloomed, urging the Karmic Fire Lotus to condense into a supreme domain, and also activating the secret runes of the second pair of wings of the Nine Heavens Divine Armor.

"Rumble--"

In an instant, the world changed color, time and space shifted, and a spacetime of its own was formed within a radius of hundreds of light-years, while the surrounding void was blurred, forming a void cage that sealed off the space.

"tumultuous!"

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jin activated his supernatural powers: the second level of Three Heads and Six Arms, and the third level of the Nine Heavens Divine Armor secret runes.

A terrifying divine power instantly erupted, startling the Crimson Flame Demon God within the Crimson Flame Demon Palace into despair.

"Heavenly Emperor, please spare me this time? I am willing to offer you a reward."

Not wanting to perish like this, the Crimson Flame Demon God panicked and tried to dispel Lu Jin's killing intent.

Lu Jin remained silent, his divine power surging, triggering the Ten Great Laws and the destructive fluctuations, causing a gray light to emanate from the God-Slaying Spear.

apologize?

Do you think I, the current emperor, would even look at your piece of junk?

The next moment, Lu Jin thrust out the God-Slaying Spear. Amidst the terrifying aura, a gray spear beam tens of millions of kilometers long, exuding the aura of the end of all things, suddenly appeared and shot straight towards the Crimson Flame Demon Palace.

"boom--"

"Oh!"

The moment the gray spear light struck the Crimson Flame Demon Palace, a violent roar that shook the universe resounded.

Under the horrified gaze of the Crimson Flame Demon God inside the hall, the Crimson Flame Demon Palace, which had been subjected to the attack of this gray spear light, actually collapsed and shattered into countless fragments.

The Heavenly Emperor's power is ridiculously outrageous!
You should know that although his Crimson Flame Demon Palace is only the bottom-tier among treasures of the same level, it is still a genuine palace-type supreme treasure!
According to the intelligence gathered within the Jin world, even the lowest quality palace-type supreme treasure can withstand most attacks from Void True Gods.

But the Heavenly Emperor, who had just broken through to the True God realm, was pierced and destroyed with a single spear thrust?
The Crimson Flame Demon God was quite certain that the Heavenly Emperor had only broken through to the True God realm, and had not yet entered the Void True God realm.

Because he had experienced the Void True God's 'One Thought of Void' in the Jin World, it was far superior to the pseudo One Thought of Void driven by the Supreme Treasure's Secret Runes.

If the Heavenly Emperor has already become a true god of the void, there is no need for him to activate the supreme treasure runes.

However, the Crimson Flame Demon God had no time to be more shocked.

"Pfft~"

The residual power from the gray spear light that shattered the supreme palace 'Crimson Flame Demon Palace' spread out, and the Crimson Flame Demon God's divine body burst as easily as a soap bubble.

Apart from some fragments of treasures, not even a trace of flesh or bone was left behind; it was completely annihilated by the terrifying residual power.

'Let's call it... The End of Eternity!'

With a single shot, Lu Jin shattered the palace-type supreme treasure. He nodded in satisfaction and gave his twelfth-order secret technique, which had been initially integrated with the ten laws and further fused with a trace of destructive power, a name.

The twelfth-tier secret technique 'Eternal End', with 100,000 times the life gene, the supernatural power: the second level of Three Heads and Six Arms, the Nine Heavens Divine Armor with three core secret runes, plus the God-Slaying Spear.

Logically speaking, the physical attack power of this shot should be equivalent to that of a nineteenth-level True God.

However, among the factors that enhance the Supreme Treasure, the actual effect is somewhat reduced because the theoretically stacked power exceeds the upper limit of the Nine Heavens Divine Armor bonus.

Excluding the God-Slaying Spear, the power that should have been able to be stacked up to the level of an eighteenth-tier True God only reached the upper limit of the seventeenth-tier peak of the Nine Heavens Divine Armor.

Therefore, even with the bonus from the God-Slaying Spear, the actual physical attack power of this spear is still only at the top level of the eighteenth rank.

Of course, this is because the God-Slaying Spear's Mystic Runes can unleash a soul attack that is stronger than a physical attack.

The power of this soul attack surpassed that of the top eighteenth-tier cultivators and faintly reached the threshold of the nineteenth-tier true god.

Glancing at the numerous fragments of supreme treasures scattered around him, Lu Jin put away the treasures on his body, dispelled his supreme domain and void of thought, and teleported back to the small universe.

Even the Crimson Flame Demon God's supreme treasure palace could be destroyed, which should be enough to make all the forces in the universe sea dare not say no to the Heavenly Court in the future.

Moreover, this display of strength will also let the original will know that it is extremely powerful.

When the world beasts wreak havoc in the future, there will inevitably be a time when he will be asked to step in and resolve the crisis.

After Lu Jin left, the powerful figures from various factions in the Cosmic Sea who had not yet fled far fell silent, as the battle ended too quickly.

The fragments of the supreme treasure, which were scattered everywhere and exuding a powerful aura, on the void battlefield that was originally filled with endless chaotic energy, directly proved the strength of the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court. They were so powerful that it was unbelievable to them, and they were strong enough to forcibly destroy the supreme treasure of the palace type.

Since the Heavenly Emperor could forcibly destroy a palace-type supreme treasure, then a True God's miniature universe might not be able to stop the Heavenly Emperor, right?
In other words, from then on, when facing the Heavenly Court, apart from the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe, a small universe of the Void True God, there was no other option.

Looking across the entire universe, is there no place that is absolutely safe anymore?
The Great Luo Heaven, the Lingxiao Palace.

Seated on the nine-colored throne, Lu Jin began to carefully review his gains after breaking through to the True God realm.

In terms of secret techniques, it has been upgraded from a top-tier ninth-order secret technique to a twelfth-order secret technique, resulting in a surge in its cultivation level.

Moreover, after reaching the True God level, one has already met the minimum cultivation requirements for the third level of the supernatural power: Three Heads and Six Arms, and one's strength can be further enhanced by another level.

'Replacing it with a higher-potential single-target mechanical Arcana is now urgent.'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

If the power limit of the Nine Heavens Divine Armor is sufficient, after cultivating the third level of the divine power: Three Heads and Six Arms, his strength can be stacked up to the level of a 20th-tier True God.

However, limited by the upper limit of the seventeenth tier of the Nine Heavens Divine Armor, the original body wielding the God-Slaying Spear can only be stacked up to the eighteenth tier.

Fortunately, Lu Jin had anticipated this and had already spoken with the 'angel investor' Zuoshanke and finalized a new round of investment agreements.

Once his secret technique reaches level twelve, he can obtain a single-target mechanical treasure with a maximum level of no less than level twenty from the Mountain Guest.

Although this single mechanical treasure is no longer crafted by the Mountain-Sitting Guest using the Qiankun Cauldron, the Heavenly Court will no longer be able to replicate and mass-produce it.

However, apart from him, very few people need such a high-end single-target mechanical item. The top-tier Nine Heavens Divine Gear at level seventeen is basically enough.

In addition to the changes themselves, the effects of the three divine treasures—the Thirty-Six Heavens, the Kunlun Mirror, and the Lingxiao Palace—have also been further unleashed.

The time acceleration in designated areas within the Thirty-Six Heavens has been increased tenfold, from the original 10,000 times for the Great Luo Heaven and 1,000 times for the other Heavens, to 100,000 times for the Great Luo Heaven and 10,000 times for the other Heavens.

The Kunlun Mirror's remote detection range has also been increased from one light-year in diameter (previously at the level of a universe master) to one hundred light-years in diameter.

The clarity of the various laws manifested within the Lingxiao Palace has increased tenfold compared to before, making it easier to comprehend various complex fusion laws.

Then, Lu Jin's consciousness sank into the external space and began the main event.

His hard work in cultivation has been one aspect of his growth, but the help he received from cheat codes has been absolutely indispensable.

Now that he's become a true god, he can cheat his way through again. *Whoosh—*

As Lu Jin's thoughts shifted, the True God-level treasure chest, which had been radiating nine-colored light within the external storage space, instantly transformed into a dazzling display of nine-colored brilliance, illuminating the external storage space with vibrant colors.

When the nine-colored light faded, the True God-level treasure chest had disappeared.

Instead, there was a Void God-level treasure chest and three other items.

A small, nine-story white jade pagoda, no bigger than the palm of your hand. The sixth and seventh stories are solid, while the lower five stories and the upper two stories appear somewhat illusory.

A purple lotus pedestal with twelve petals.

A treasure set of swords consisting of four identical, foot-long swords in four colors: blue, black, red, and white.

Raising an eyebrow, Lu Jin channeled his divine power into the three items to investigate and quickly learned their basic information.

——The Heavenly Court Inheritance Tower (2/4): Contains many Heavenly Court inheritances, recorded in the form of memory jade slips.

Note: The tower has nine levels, and the current level is the sixth and seventh. The memory jade slips contained therein correspond to the levels of Void True God and Eternal True God, respectively.

—Twelve-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus: A special soul-type and will-type divine king treasure. It can nurture 12 Reincarnation Purple Lotus Seeds every 10,000 epochs by absorbing sufficient energy.

The Reincarnation Purple Lotus Seed can transform into the Reincarnation Purple Lotus Plant, which can continuously grow by absorbing energy, eventually reaching the level of a Chaos Sacred Artifact.

The Reincarnation Purple Lotus can transform into the Reincarnation Treasure Lotus, possessing the effects of soul defense, willpower attack, and willpower defense.

After transforming into the Lotus of Reincarnation, it will no longer be able to absorb energy to grow.

Note: Due to the limitations of the primordial universe, the Twelve-Petaled Reincarnation Purple Lotus can currently only unleash the power of a True God Treasure. The Reincarnation Lotus can grow to the level of a True God Treasure at its maximum.

—The Four Swords of Zhuxian: A semi-primordial treasure set with attack and domain-type attributes, consisting of four swords: Zhuxian, Luxian, Xianxian, and Juexian.

Note: Individual Zhuxian Sword, Luxian Sword, Xianxian Sword, and Juexian Sword are all semi-primordial treasures. When combined into the Zhuxian Sword Formation, they are comparable to primordial treasures.

To be honest, we arrived a bit early for the sixth and seventh floors of the Heavenly Inheritance Tower.

It's not that the original will restricts the viewing process; this can be bypassed by bringing the Heavenly Court Inheritance Tower into the Jin World.

The main problem is that it's not needed or useful right now.

To reach the level of a true god in the void, one must undergo reincarnation within a short period of time.

Therefore, the inheritance that surpasses that of the true gods is completely useless before entering the cycle of reincarnation.

After passing through reincarnation and going to the Origin Continent, it's not too late to learn the inheritance of the Void True God or even higher levels.

However, despite this, the Heavenly Court Inheritance Tower on the sixth and seventh floors did give Lu Jin some reassurance.

There's no need to worry about lacking guidance or inheritance after going to the Origin Continent in the future.

The Twelve-Petaled Reincarnation Purple Lotus is similar to the three Twelve-Petaled Lotus Platforms obtained after advancing to the Universe Venerable. Both can generate lotus seeds to cultivate inferior versions of the lotus platform.

The Reincarnation Purple Lotus and its derivative, the Reincarnation Treasure Lotus, along with the Purifying White Lotus and its derivative, the Purifying Treasure Lotus, all belong to the category of soul-type treasures.

However, the two differ in that, in addition to their soul defense capabilities, the Pure World White Lotus and the Pure World Precious Lotus also possess the ability to attack souls.

While the Reincarnation Purple Lotus and the Reincarnation Precious Lotus do not possess soul attack effects, they do possess extremely rare willpower attack and willpower defense effects.

Among the treasures known to possess the power of willpower attacks are the Void True God Armor 'Blood Sea Demon Armor', the sixteen black-patterned stone pillars within the space of the Cosmic Ship Black-Patterned Stone Pillars, and the 'Ancient God Eye' crafted by the Mountain-Sitting Guest that appeared in the original work.

Among the treasures known to possess the power of willpower defense is the God-King's supreme treasure, the 'Star Tower'.

The primordial universe and the cosmic sea contain countless treasures, but the known treasures that possess the ability to attack and defend with willpower can be counted on one hand.

It must be said that the Twelve-Petaled Reincarnation Purple Lotus, which can generate lotus seeds, makes up for the Heavenly Court's shortcomings in the field of will-related treasures.

"Shh!"

With a thought, Lu Jin's semi-circular lotus pond filled with clear spring water reappeared in Lingxiao Palace. The twelve-petaled Reincarnation Purple Lotus fell into the lotus pond and transformed into a huge purple lotus plant.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

The next moment, a massive amount of Universe Lord-level Life Source Crystals poured down.

Amidst the surging of immense energy, the gigantic purple stamens within the semi-circular lotus pond began greedily devouring the life-source crystals.

Before long, twelve reincarnation purple lotus seeds were born, fell into the lotus pond, and then transformed into twelve purple lotus plants.

As the massive amount of Universe Lord-level Life Source Crystals within the lotus pond were continuously absorbed and devoured, the power emanating from the twelve purple lotus plants began to gradually increase.

"Whoosh!"

At the same time, Lu Jin raised his hand and retrieved the Twelve-Petaled Reincarnation Purple Lotus from the lotus pond.

After twelve lotus seeds are conceived, whether the twelve lotus pedestals themselves are located nearby will not affect the absorption of energy and growth of the lotus plants transformed from the twelve lotus seeds.

Lu Jin then focused his attention on the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

'The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation... Is this a prelude to me recreating the cycle of earth, water, fire, and wind, and rebuilding the Origin Continent?'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

The reputation of the Four Swords of Zhuxian is even more renowned than that of the God-Slaying Spear, and it is also far more ferocious.

In mythology, the God-Slaying Spear can wound the primordial spirit of a saint, but once the Four Swords of Zhuxian form the Zhuxian Sword Formation, it cannot be broken by anyone other than the Four Saints.

After recognizing the master, Lu Jin automatically acquired relevant information about the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

Undoubtedly, a true god-level being is far from capable of unleashing the full power of the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

Due to their extremely weak strength, a single powerful individual can only wield one immortal sword.

To set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, four immortal swords are needed, which means four powerful individuals need to wield the swords, with the wielder of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword leading the formation.

However, he is special because of his supernatural power: One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones. Even now that he has become a true god, he still has three clones in addition to his original self.

The main body, the Taiyin clone, the Taiyang clone, and the Demon Ancestor clone, each wielding a celestial sword, can set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

Furthermore, the power of the sword formation is far greater than that of a single immortal sword.

The main body and its three avatars each wielded one of the four immortal swords, setting up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. With the enhancement of the sword formation's power, the formation's power was increased by a full four levels.

Moreover, the fourth-tier power boost brought by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is a power boost brought by a supreme weapon.

Not only will it not conflict with the power boost brought by the single mechanical flow treasure, but it will also further enhance the power of the fourth tier on the basis of the boost brought by the mechanical flow treasure.

this point is very important.

Because the level and upper limit of the Four Swords of Zhuxian are extremely high, while the level and upper limit of the single mechanical treasures that he can access are destined not to be too high.

Like the Nine Heavens Divine Armor we have now.

The twelfth-tier secret technique 'Eternal End' grants 100,000 times the life gene and the supernatural power: the second level of Three Heads and Six Arms. The Nine Heavens Divine Armor, which was originally capable of increasing strength by three tiers, can only increase strength by about two and a half tiers.

If the 'Eternal End' secret technique is perfected to the twelfth level and the third level of the Three Heads and Six Arms is achieved, then the original third-level strength improvement of the Nine Heavens Divine Armor will only be reduced to one level.

If the strength bonus is calculated by first taking into account the fourth-tier upgrade of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, then the Nine Heavens Divine Armor, which has a maximum limit of only seventeenth-tier top-tier, becomes completely useless.

On the other hand, if we consider the strength bonuses first, such as the mechanical-style treasures, and then the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, the Nine Heavens Divine Gear is still useful at present.

Even now, with the added power of the Three Heads and Six Arms and the Nine Heavens Divine Armor, he possesses the top-tier strength of the seventeenth rank.

If you add the four-level upgrade of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, it reaches a top-tier level of twenty-one!
Of course, increasing one's strength to the fourth rank is the upper limit of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation's potential.

If the four sword wielders are of varying strengths and there is a gap between them, then it will be impossible to improve the strongest one's strength to the fourth rank.

In other words, to make the Zhuxian Sword Formation work at its best, it cannot have clones holding back the main body.

'Unfortunately, my current level of being at the top of the 21st tier is still a bit short of being able to destroy a small universe belonging to a Void God.'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

The Cosmic Sea originally had two major holy land universes, but the Purple Moon Holy Land universe has long been destroyed. As a result, the Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe is very obstructive.

However, the miniature universe is extremely sturdy, and it takes the Void True God's ultimate effort to destroy it.

To destroy the small universe of a Void God, a conventionally eternal God would have to exert their full strength.

The top-tier attack at the 21st level is clearly still some distance from the limit of the Eternal True God.

After all, only by creating a fourteenth-tier secret technique can one step into the realm of eternal true god.

A powerful Eternal True God can easily surpass the top level of the Twenty-First Order by two or three levels with the amplification of the Divine Power Burning Secret Technique and the Single-Target Mechanical Flow Treasure.

Fortunately, apart from using the ultimate material attack power of an Eternal True God to shatter the origin of the Void True God's miniature universe, it also...

Enslaving the Beasts of the Realm and forcing them to devour the origins of smaller universes can also destroy the smaller universes of the True God of the Void.

'It's time to secure a new round of investment!'

Lu Jin thought to himself, then took out the communication token given to him by the former mountain dweller and sent a message.

In the primordial universe, within a void, lies a secluded courtyard.

In the courtyard, the guest sitting quietly by the stone table.

"Shh!"

Suddenly, Lu Jin's figure appeared in the open space beside the stone table.

"You're still as elusive as ever."

"Sitting Mountain Guest couldn't help but complain," he said.

Even though he was the reincarnation of the God King of Jin, he still couldn't sense Lu Jin's arrival just before he teleported there.

Even during the entire teleportation process, he was unable to sense the slightest spatial fluctuation.

It is obvious that the young man's special treasure for traversing space is of extremely high quality, far surpassing the treasures of true gods.
