Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 91

Luo Feng gazed at the continent below, lost in thought. Due to the limitations of the virtual universe, Lu Yunhe couldn't tell him anything about the Blood Luo Continent; he had to explore it himself.

Two years later!

In a giant pit near a vortex of malevolent energy, a tall figure, clad in bronze armor and sitting cross-legged on a rocky platform, suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the distance. At the same time, a wisp of primal force penetrated into the bottom of the pit: "My lord, another peak Cloud Realm expert has broken in?"

"Let Ninety-Seven go!"

At the bottom of the giant pit, a blood-red palace stood tall, stretching for one or two kilometers in length and width, and seven stories high. At that moment, the door to room 97 on the third floor of the palace was opened, and a man dressed in bronze-colored armor emerged.

"Ninety-seven, it's time for you to prove yourself. Another peak Cloud Realm expert has broken in. Go and take care of him. Don't let anyone disturb the master's cultivation," the captain said telepathically.

"Yes!"

The young man bowed slightly, then quickly flew away from the palace.

"I wonder which unlucky guy broke in?"

Luo Feng thought to himself that, because of the landing location, he landed near Yan Gang Territory just like in the original story, but he did not recognize the original Na Ke.

After obtaining the Blood Crystal in Yan Gang, he went directly to the Ruins of the Ancient God, where he encountered the Blood God Ba Qi and became a Blood God Guard once again.

However, when Luo Feng stopped the intruder, a look of surprise instantly appeared on his face, and he shouted, "Who goes there?" At the same time, he diverted a sliver of his mind into the virtual universe.

"Teacher, why did you come here so openly?" Luo Feng asked in the virtual universe.

“I enslaved a world lord and became a disciple of the Immortal Temple, so I can move around freely.” Lu Yunhe also came to the virtual universe.

"As expected of my teacher!" Luo Feng clicked his tongue in amazement. He had been taken in as a subordinate after being brought to the Blood Luo Continent, but his teacher had turned the tables and enslaved a World Lord-level expert. It was simply unbelievable.

Although he knew that his teacher had enslaved a world lord, Luo Feng had no intention of seeking help. After all, the two of them would be leaving at different times, and if their relationship were too good and one of them were exposed, it would immediately mean the end of the mission.

The two then chatted briefly, and Lu Yunhe was somewhat surprised to learn that Luo Feng had not yet fused the Blood Crystal with the Golden Horned Beast.

"Can the Golden Horned Beast also fuse with Blood Crystal?" Luo Feng looked somewhat bewildered.

“Of course, and the effects far surpass those of humans.” Lu Yunhe nodded, then added, “Blood Crystals are extremely precious; you can collect as many as you can.”

"There's a benefit to being in the vortex of malevolent energy: you must venture into its core. If you have the chance, you can also try exploring the 10081 vortexes of malevolent energy in the ruins of the ancient god. If the latter is dangerous, you can give up; it won't have much of an impact."

Lu Yunhe gave some instructions in the virtual universe, while only a moment passed in the outside world.

"Please wait here while I inform them!"

Luo Feng said without changing his expression, then communicated with the captain of the Blood God Guard through the communicator before speaking: "'Ba Qi' is in seclusion here cultivating. You must not disturb him, otherwise even your identity as a disciple of the Immortal Temple will not protect you."

"Thank you!"

Lu Yunhe smiled slightly, and then rushed towards the distant vortex of malevolent energy.

At the core of the vortex of malevolent energy, Lu Yunhe looked at the beast god phantom and law patterns, most of which were repetitive, and sat down again to carefully comprehend them.

While observing the phantom of the Beast God over the past few years, the Golden Dragon clone also took the opportunity to create the prototype of his own secret technique, a set of combat secret techniques called "The Eight Techniques of the Beast God".

The Eight Techniques of the Beast God consists of eight moves: slapping, pounce, tail whipping, stomping, impacting, biting, clawing, and roaring. In addition, there is a hidden ninth move, which is the Space-Time Boundary.

At the same time, combining the inherited memories of the Golden Horned Beast, the Golden Dragon clone made some modifications to the body amplification secret technique "Original World" to make the secret technique fit itself, and renamed it "Time and Space World".

However, these secret techniques are all in their infancy. To truly create them, it will probably have to wait until the realm master level of law comprehension reaches a higher level.

Besides that, Lu Yunhe's biggest gain during this period was the "Golden Void Fusion Law".

With the Law Runes as a reference, he has crossed the threshold of the "Golden Void Fusion Law". Although he has not even reached the first level of the Path of the Beast God, it shows that he is very talented in this area.

However, the fusion of laws is the goal of the second step. Lu Yunhe's current goal is to comprehend the essence of the 108 laws of time and space, and to obtain the original recognition of the eight basic laws.

Once the two small goals are achieved, you can begin to comprehend the eight laws of fusion.

"In this life, I will climb step by step to the highest point!"

Feeling his cultivation progressing almost every day, Lu Yunhe was filled with pride. After recording the core of the evil energy and integrating it into his body, he left again.

Chapter 143 Forcibly Seizing the Blood Crystal

Ten years later!

"Finally finished!"

Lu Yunhe looked at the 10081st core of malevolent energy before him, his expression neither sad nor happy. This was the last core of malevolent energy; after recording it, he would no longer need to run around.

Over the past decade, because I haven't focused my main efforts on the Golden Void Fusion Law, I've barely crossed the threshold of the Fusion Law, and I'm still far from reaching the first level of the Beast God Path.

That's normal, though. The first level of the Path of the Beast God is comparable to the fifteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven, so he is indeed far inferior.

In contrast, the study of the essence of the laws of time and space has progressed very rapidly, reaching 100 in total. Only eight more are needed to fully comprehend the essence of two laws.

However, it must be said that the fact that the study of the essence of the laws of space can keep up with the laws of time is thanks to the secret patterns of the laws of space at the core of these 10081 evil energy vortexes.

With the guidance of the laws, Zetton's clone was able to catch up with the seemingly cheat-like Golden Dragon clone.

Over the past decade, the Golden Dragon's avatar has fused 200 Blood Crystals, amplifying the Blood Crystal's genetic power to a factor of 2000. For beasts with the Gold/Void attribute, the Blood Crystals are truly like a cheat code.

However, 200 seemed to have reached the genetic and will limits of the Golden Dragon clone. No matter how Lu Yunhe tried, he could not fuse the 201st one.

What Lu Yunhe regretted even more was that his body had been eroded by 10081 cores of evil energy. Although he felt that something had increased in his body, it only resulted in an increase of one Blood Crystal when fused with it. That is, eight Blood Crystals, just like that Ba Qi.

"It seems I really have no talent for fusing Blood Crystals!"

Lu Yunhe shook his head slightly. He thought that if it were so easy to fuse with the Blood Crystal to become a Black Warrior, most Universe Venerables wouldn't be stuck at the level of 10 times their genes.

That's right. Most cosmic lords are only at the 10-fold gene level, and even some ordinary cosmic overlords are only at the dozens of times gene level. Very few can reach the 100-fold gene level.

"We have explored all 10081 evil energy vortexes. It's time to end the Blood Luo Continent mission."

Having entered the core of the evil energy vortex early on, Lu Yunhe naturally didn't need to stay there for 80 years like Luo Feng, and could finish his mission sooner to explore other secret realms.

"Gongshan Wen!"

Lu Yunhe then informed Gong Shanwen and piloted his mechanical race spaceship directly to the Eighteenth Heaven, a place that was an absolute forbidden zone for the Blood Luo Continent.

Immortal Temple!

The Immortal Temple covers an area of ​​approximately one million kilometers and is composed entirely of black and red. It is located in the core area of ​​the ancient god ruins, and there are 10081 evil energy vortexes within a radius of tens of millions of kilometers around it.

From a high vantage point, one can see that these vortexes of malevolent energy are arranged in a very scattered manner, but they are interconnected, forming a mysterious array, and the core of the array is the Immortal Temple.

"Brother Gongshan Wen, congratulations on becoming a one-star envoy of the temple! You are only one step away from becoming an immortal god!" Sheyu congratulated him.

"A single step away, yet farther than heaven and earth!" Gong Shanwen shook his head slightly.

Temple envoys are divided into three levels, with one star being the highest and three stars the lowest. Three-star envoys are basically at the domain level, two-star envoys are at the ordinary world level, and one-star envoys are at the peak of the world level plus 'blood warrior'.

The strength of a one-star divine envoy far surpasses that of ordinary world-class beings, and is only one step away from becoming an immortal god. He is considered a key figure to be cultivated by the Immortal Temple.

“Brother Sheyu, the immortal gods are not as wonderful as you imagine, but this refers to the immortal gods on the Blood Luo Continent,” Gongshan Wen thought to himself.

After becoming a one-star divine messenger, Gongshan Wen also came into contact with some secrets of the Immortal Temple.

The Immortal Temple is very mysterious on the Blood Luo Continent, but this mystery is not something the temple deliberately creates; rather, it is because they genuinely dare not venture out.

Yes, influenced by the outer heavens, the immortal gods basically dare not leave the temple, and a one-star divine envoy is basically the highest level of strength that can move around on the Blood Luo Continent.

Meanwhile, the entire temple is divided into two levels. The upper level, located on the ground, is mainly the activity area for these divine messengers, and occasionally immortal gods will come to inspect it.

The immortal gods of the entire Blood Luo Continent are mostly located in the lower levels of the temple; even a one-star divine envoy is not qualified to enter the lower levels. It's worth noting that Blood Luo Crystals are also sent up from the lower levels.

"Are all the gods on the Blood Continent really in the temple?"

Gong Shanwen was somewhat worried, but the thought that he could soon escape this cage by following his master turned his original worry into relief. Fortunately, he was enslaved by his master and had a chance to escape.

After a half-hearted conversation with Sheyu, Gongshanwen dismissed him and headed to the place where he could collect the Blood Crystal.

Blood Crystals are brought from the lower levels of the temple by immortal gods, then distributed to the stewards of the corresponding temples, who in turn distribute them to temple messengers according to their tasks, and finally the messengers deliver them to the corresponding domain-level and world-level beings on the Blood Continent.

If Gong Shanwen remembers correctly, a batch of Blood Crystals was distributed to the manager about half a year ago.

As he passed the main hall of the temple, Gongshan Wenye glanced at the beast god statue being worshipped in the side hall.

This beast god statue is made of jade and gold, about 30 centimeters high and 1 meter long. It has 90729 scales, which are translucent and crystal clear, and even immortal gods would find it difficult to destroy.

Originally, there were 18 statues on the Blood Continent, but most of them were lost during the battle with the extraterrestrial races. Only 15 have been recovered so far, and three are still missing.

Gong Shanwen was also unsure of the purpose of the Beast God Statue, only knowing that the Immortal Temple had always regarded it as an important sacrificial object, and that, like the Blood Crystal, it held a Schrödinger-like importance.

There is also a statue in this side hall, and the first statue depicts two world-class guards, whose strength is no match for Gongshan Wen.

After passing through a palace, Gong Shanwen arrived at the place where he could collect the Blood Crystals and met the steward in charge of distributing them to him, a lifeless old man.

The stewards in the temple are different from their divine messengers. These stewards stay in the temple from birth to death and cannot leave unless they have the opportunity to break through to become immortal gods.

"Elder Huo, I've come to collect this Blood Crystal." Gong Shanwen found a quiet time and met with the steward he had carefully selected, walking towards the world-class man nearing the end of his lifespan.

"it is good!"

A weary voice rang out, and then Old Huo prepared to take out the Blood Crystal from the World Ring in his hand.

bass!

A flash of light appeared; the first slash aimed directly at the arm of the steward wearing the World Ring, and the second slash sliced ​​through his body, striking his life core.

After the two strikes, Gongshan Wen completely disregarded the steward's life or death, took the World Ring, and rushed out of the room.

In the side hall, the two guards who were protecting the statue of the beast god stood there listlessly, their minds wandering elsewhere.

Then the two saw Gongshan Wen hurrying over and said with a serious expression, "Lord Shenhuo needs to use the statue, so I'll take it first."

"and many more!"

It wasn't until Gongshan Wen had obtained the statue that the two remembered to stop him. No wonder they were so slow to react.

After all, this was the first time they had encountered something like this in a temple, and what they were fighting over was something as meaningless as a statue.

bass!

Just as the two were about to stop them and ask questions, two flashes of light swept past, sending them flying.

"We have to run!"

After this attack, Gong Shanwen knew that his actions could no longer be concealed, so he rushed out of the hall, took out an E-class spaceship given to him by Lu Yunhe, started it up, and soared into the sky.
