Swallowing the Stars: Becoming a God Starting with a Hundred Generations of Talent

Every inch of the rock face and every piece of ore became incredibly clear in Lu Yun's perception.

Time passed second by second.

Just when Lu Yun thought he was overthinking things.

"Um?"

Weird!

Lu Yun arrived at the rock wall and stretched out his hand.

But he knew that this was just an appearance.

He concentrated his mental energy into a cone and thrust it forward with all his might!

hum-

A pitch-black opening appeared, and an energy aura that was purer and hotter than the outside world rushed out.

It is an independent space of only about 100 square meters.

In the center of the space stood a house constructed entirely of dark red crystal.

"This...this is actually a Grade C material, Earth Core Lava Crystal!"

A storm raged in Lu Yun's heart.

Earth Core Lava Crystal, a rare material born deep within the core of a planet, is extremely stable and is an excellent main material for forging third- and fourth-order Force weapons!

Its value far exceeds that of Grade B metals!

"The entire Extreme Fire Gold Vein was probably formed over hundreds of millions of years due to the energy radiation from this house!"

Lu Yun instantly understood all the key points.

This house is the heart of all the secrets on this planet!

He suppressed his shock and focused his gaze on the small house made of lava crystal from the Earth's core, quickly assessing its value.

"This house alone, if dismantled, would probably be worth hundreds of billions of Black Dragon Coins!"

It's more than ten times more valuable than everything in Ah Hu's spatial ring combined!

The room was very simple; the furnishings had long since decayed to dust, and only a few shriveled corpses were scattered in the corners.

Their clothes had weathered away, but judging from their skeletons, they must have been powerful individuals in life.

"So that's how it is." He thought to himself, "The weapons, secret techniques, and valuables in Ah Hu's spatial ring must have been looted from these corpses."

In the center of the room, there is a circular array with a diameter of about three meters.

The formation was composed of countless intricate patterns and was clearly in disrepair over the years.

At the edge of the formation, there were many new signs of prying and damage, and even several badly worn metal crowbars were discarded nearby.

"It was Ah Hu who did it." Lu Yun judged at a glance. "He comes here every day to try to destroy this formation."

Judging from the progress of the destruction, he has already worn away most of the energy of this formation.

Inside the formation, a corpse was sitting cross-legged.

The body was remarkably well-preserved, as if it were simply asleep.

He wore a set of silver armor that had long lost its luster, and even though he had been dead for many years, he still exuded an invisible pressure.

"This person is the real deal."

Lu Yun instantly understood everything.

This Ah Hu was quite lucky; he accidentally discovered this cave hidden by an illusion array and obtained his first windfall from the corpses on the outside.

But he was not satisfied.

He discovered an even more extraordinary corpse within the formation, convinced that it must contain an even more astonishing treasure.

So, every day he took advantage of the opportunity to go down into the mine, slowly and painstakingly destroying the formation, hoping to obtain this greatest opportunity.

"Greed is insatiable."

Lu Yun looked at the corpse in the formation and shook his head slightly.

For this final treasure, he sacrificed everything he could have had.

If he takes those 50 billion Black Dragon Coins and flies away, he might become a powerful figure in the future.

But now, it's all gone.

Of course, all of this has now benefited him.

Lu Yun examined the formation before him.

The power of this ancient formation has been largely lost over the long years, and with Ah Hu's relentless destruction over the years, it is now just a candle flickering in the wind.

"It will become ineffective in one or two years at the shortest, and three to five years at the longest."

Lu Yun had made his judgment, but he was not in a hurry.

No one else but him would know about this place.

What's inside can't escape.

He turned and left, his mental energy spreading out from behind him like an invisible tide, silently erasing all traces of his presence.

Footprints, scents, even the slightest disturbance in the air were smoothed out.

This method is a thousand times more sophisticated than Ah Hu's primitive way of moving the boulder.

……

As for Ah Hu's disappearance, it wouldn't attract anyone's attention at all.

There are other monsters and creatures underground on this planet, and every year at least eighty or a hundred miners go missing.

The disappearance of an insignificant miner goes unnoticed.

Back in the dorm, I closed the door.

Lu Yun began to take stock of the harvest.

His gaze immediately locked onto the jade slips containing cultivation techniques and secret arts.

These secret techniques may be insignificant in the vast universe, and their creators may simply be ordinary realm lords or immortals.

But for Lu Yun, who is now penniless, it is nothing short of an invaluable treasure.

His attention quickly settled on the two secret techniques.

The first book is "The Meteor Sword Manual".

The pursuit of ultimate speed and penetrating power has an extremely high threshold for cultivation—one must comprehend the domain.

"I can't learn it yet." Lu Yun shook his head slightly and put it aside.

His gaze then fell upon another secret technique—the Blood Burning Secret Technique.

When Lu Yun understood the function of this secret technique, his eyes lit up instantly.

The Blood Burning Secret Technique is divided into ten levels.

Each level of mastery increases the power of psychic attacks by 50%.

Upon reaching the tenth level of perfection, its power increased fivefold!

"Five times!" Lu Yun was shocked.

With his current mental energy amplification of forty-two times, once he masters it, his attack power will reach a terrifying two hundred and ten times!

This secret technique, which directly enhances attack power, is extremely precious.

"To increase power fivefold... this must be the work of an immortal god," Lu Yun concluded in his heart.

A clear plan quickly took shape in his mind.

The first step is to use Star Essence Fluid to improve the body's level.

The second step is to cultivate the "Blood Burning Secret Technique".

The final step is to wait quietly.

Wait for the ancient formation to run out of energy and become ineffective on its own.

At that time, the true treasure hidden within the formation will be within easy reach.

Lu Yun took out the jade bottle containing the Star Marrow Liquid.

Swallow one gram of the silvery liquid.

boom!

A powerful and pure torrent of energy instantly swept over his entire body. Every cell in his body seemed to transform into a greedy vortex, frantically devouring cosmic energy at an unprecedented speed.

"His cultivation speed has increased by more than a hundredfold." Lu Yun made this judgment in his mind. "One month is enough to advance to the fourth level of the planetary stage."

He was very satisfied with this.

Once he calmed down, Lu Yun devoted all his energy to comprehending the "Blood Burning Secret Technique".

……

For the next month, Lu Yun's life became extremely regular.

He goes to the refining workshop every three days to complete his work, and spends the rest of his time immersed in cultivation.

On this day, Lu Yun, who was cultivating, suddenly shuddered.

Boom!

The miniature planet within the body broke through its constraints and entered a completely new level.

Planetary fourth order!

The physical transformation seemed to have also touched the depths of the mind.

The bottleneck of the first level of the "Blood Burning Secret Technique," which had been impossible to break through, quietly loosened at this moment and was instantly overcome.

The Blood Burning Secret Technique, Level 1: Beginner.

[Successfully mastered the first level of the Blood Burning Secret Technique, achievement +1]

[Breakthrough to Planetary Tier 4, Achievement +100]

Current Achievement: 5977

Lu Yun nodded slightly.

"Let's test our attack power in the virtual universe!"

His consciousness instantly connected to the virtual universe network.

Personal private space.

Lu Yun's figure appeared out of thin air in the center of the space.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and began to operate his mental energy at high speed in his mind.

The first level of the Blood Burning Secret Technique, activate!

hum!

A strange burning sensation rose from the source of the spirit, instantly spreading throughout the entire sea of ​​consciousness. The spiritual power that was originally like flowing water seemed to be ignited, becoming violent and concentrated.

"go!"

Lu Yun suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as lightning.

call out!

Forty blades of the Thousand Machine Blade were shot out.

[Attack Strength: 63 times the standard planetary-level fourth-order amplitude]

Lu Yun looked at the number and felt a surge of excitement.

"Such an effect from just the first level." Lu Yun clenched his fist. "If I were to cultivate to the tenth level, the power would increase fivefold... what a sight that would be!"
