Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 821

Lu Yunhe was naturally ruthless towards the Dead Fiends, extorting a large sum from Emperor Wei and seizing more than half of his treasures.

However, it can't be considered extortion, as it was a mutually agreeable arrangement between the two parties.

These things are theoretically very valuable, but in reality, they are not very useful to people like Wei Huang.

It's just that everyone has a bit of a collecting habit, more or less. After all, these are all their own things, and in addition to the value of the treasures themselves, there is also a part of their emotional value.

Having taken most of Wei Huang's collection, Lu Yunhe only gave him a single Flower of Life and Death.

"City Lord, you are still too merciful," Emperor Wufeng couldn't help but sigh.

If it were him, even taking all of Emperor Wei's treasures wouldn't be enough.

It should be noted that, in terms of relative value, the Flower of Life and Death is more precious than the Radiant Elixir.

Emperor Wufeng paid a heavy price to obtain even a single drop of Radiant Spirit Milk.

If I get soaked in the rain, I can't let others have an umbrella.

"Haha, after all, I also gained a lot myself." Lu Yunhe smiled. Of the five Flowers of Life and Death, he had traded two away, and he still had three left, which was enough for him.

Moreover, the reason why Wei Huang wasn't completely exploited was because the remaining treasures were mostly geared towards the Death Fiend Clan and were of little use to cultivators.

This also leaves a glimmer of hope for Emperor Wei, so that he might still spend a great deal to make a deal next time, instead of keeping his eyes on Yanhuang Island like Emperor Wufeng did.

"Your Majesty, thank you very much this time." Lu Yunhe bid farewell to Emperor Wufeng.

"How can I express my gratitude? On the contrary, I should be thanking the City Lord." Emperor Wufeng quickly shook his head. He didn't even know how to thank the Chaos City Lord for that batch of Radiant Spirit Milk, so how could he have any other thoughts?

"If the city lord ever needs my help, I, Wu Feng, will be there for you."

After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Yunhe hurriedly returned to the Realm Heart Continent.

……

"The Cauldron of Creation!"

Lu Yunhe used his divine power to refine this treasure. Unlike supreme treasures or primordial divine weapons, the Creation Cauldron is a special auxiliary treasure, similar to the Seven Bell Pagoda.

Its primary function is not for combat or for providing enlightenment, but rather to offer auxiliary functions.

Of course, you can also use it as a weapon.

boom……

Lu Yunhe activated his divine power, and a terrifying heat wave instantly erupted from the Creation Cauldron. However, within that intense heat, there was also a sense of lush life.

"A very good cauldron!" Lu Yunhe nodded, somewhat satisfied, even though this transaction was a loss.

If it is in the right hands, the Creation Cauldron is no less valuable than the Seven Bell Pagoda, and can be considered the number one smelting treasure in the Broken Tooth Mountain Range.

It is suitable for both refining weapons and tempering one's divine body.

The latter, in particular, is because there is no such thing as alchemy, so one can only treat life itself as the elixir to be refined.

"Three Lights Spiritual Water... Flowing Light Spiritual Milk... Flower of Life and Death..."

After experimenting with the Creation Cauldron, Lu Yunhe did not immediately begin refining the weapon, but instead prepared to refine his body first.

Having fused the divine bodies of so many low-level Chaos Origin beings, Lu Yunhe also prepared to fused his own divine body.

If combined with so many precious treasures, it would be enough to forge an extremely powerful divine body.

Although practitioners always adhere to the principle of self-creation and safely comprehending their own path, it is not unacceptable to accept the practice of getting on the train first and waiting for a replacement ticket.

Through these treasures, one can completely elevate their divine body to a level comparable to the Emperor level, and then, by studying the divine body, gradually comprehend the appropriate divine body secret techniques.

The so-called "suitable" naturally means minimizing the conditions for cultivation.

Otherwise, no other cultivator could possibly gather such a collection of treasures.

In addition, it's also because relying on realms and secret techniques to improve strength is too slow. Now that I have so many resources at my disposal, it's much faster to improve my divine body through external means.

After all, with divine body techniques, as long as you invest enough resources, your strength will not be weak.

boom……

A vast amount of incredibly precious resources were poured into the Creation Cauldron, resources that even powerful figures at the Great Emperor level would covet.

However, Lu Yunhe incorporated them all without a second thought. If resources cannot be transformed into strength, then they cannot be called resources at all.

Countless resources were mixed together, forming a viscous, almost gray substance.

"go with!"

Seeing the boiling flames, Lu Yunhe threw his main battle clone into it, and at the same time activated the power of creation in the cauldron to the maximum.

The fierce flames almost ignited the clone's divine body, but with the help of the power of creation, they squeezed all the gray, viscous substance into the divine body.

Under the power of the Creation Fire, the clone was instantly melted into a liquid.

Meanwhile, Lu Yunhe, outside the Creation Cauldron, continuously unleashed various primordial Dao secret texts, infusing them with his understanding of the world and primordial life.

Click!

At the same time, one of Lu Yunhe's clones also held the supreme treasure, the Hunyuan Golden Bucket, and used it like a hairdryer to blow Hunyuan into the Creation Cauldron.

Amidst the raging flames, a divine body continuously inhaled and exhaled the power of primordial chaos, its aura changing nine times a day, constantly shifting between life and death.

Chapter 748 Exchanging for the Ultimate Treasure

"Congeal!"

As his body gradually took shape, Lu Yunhe once again activated the Creation Cauldron, releasing the Creation Fire within to its maximum to complete the process.

Soon, a brand new divine body took shape, exuding a surging aura from the inside out, and... a mouthwatering aroma.

With so many treasures incorporated, the divine body before us is practically as delicious as Tang Sanzang's flesh. Even a single bite from it would probably provide enough resources for a cosmic god to cultivate to the ultimate realm.

If it were swallowed up by the natives or the Dead Abominations, it could easily create a royal-level being.

Because this body itself possesses power comparable to that of an emperor, and in terms of vitality and defense, it is not inferior to that of a mid-stage emperor.

After all, the resources consumed are terrifying; even some emperor-level beings cannot gather enough of them.

Just think about the price that Emperor Wufeng paid for the Radiant Spirit Milk and Emperor Wei for the Flower of Life and Death.

The irreplaceable nature of top-tier resources is so strong that some treasures are not even a matter of eligibility to trade, but rather a matter of whether they can be obtained at all.

With such a divine body, Lu Yunhe no longer has to worry about being unable to withstand even a slight brush against his body during battles. Sometimes, the power protecting his divine body is even greater than the power attacking the enemy.

His divine body's strength had long lagged far behind his overall power, meaning his strength lay entirely in his realm and secret techniques, rather than requiring a very high level of divine body strength.

However, having a powerful divine body still provides a significant boost to one's strength.

As Lu Yunhe's soul consciousness re-entered his clone body, an unimaginable sense of ease arose within him, as if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted.

Because the divine body was not strong enough, the pressure of many primordial paths was concentrated on the soul consciousness. Now that the divine body shared some of the pressure, the soul felt much more relaxed.

Click, click, click!

Lu Yunhe flexed his muscles, unleashing a surge of power that could practically shatter a floating island with a single punch, if not for the suppression of the power of rules.

Feeling the power emanating from his body, Lu Yunhe stood there, and no one below the Emperor level could break through his defenses. His power alone was enough to kill an early-stage Emperor level being and contend with a mid-stage Emperor level being.

"not bad!"

Lu Yunhe was very satisfied and even wanted to find a place to release the physical energy.

With a wave of his hand, he broke through the spatial barrier and headed to the Hunyuan Space.

At this moment, the void of the Realm Heart Continent was as fragile as tofu in front of Lu Yunhe, and he had to be careful with every move to avoid harming the world.

But the Hunyuan Space is different; even a Hunyuan Lord can fight with all their might within it.

Swish!

Lu Yunhe, who had just gone to Hunyuan Space, ran back as if his life depended on it. His body, which had originally been fragrant and full of vitality, was now tattered.

Even if an acquired life form elevates its body to the level of an emperor, it will behave itself after a trip to the Chaos Origin Space.

"It's just an increase in intensity, but there hasn't been a qualitative change in the level of life!" Lu Yunhe sighed.

For life forms within the Origin World, the Hunyuan Space is practically like a space environment. Without completing a leap in life level, no matter how tenacious one's vitality, one can only live a few more breaths than others.

As for the so-called Hunyuan Divine Weapon, Supreme Treasure, and Realm, they are just equivalent to having an extra spacesuit.

"A leap in the level of life!"

Lu Yunhe inhaled and exhaled the primordial energy flowing from the primordial golden cauldron, repairing his damaged divine body.

The essence has changed; this state is merely equivalent to an injury, and recovery will be quick.

“The creation of this divine body came at a huge cost. The other clones don’t have the advantage of the Broken Tooth Mountain Range. We need to find a way to reduce costs and increase efficiency,” Lu Yunhe pondered.

The most convenient alternative is still the power of Hunyuan and the origin of the world.

By using these two forces to replace these resources, a secret technique applicable to all realms can be achieved.

After his divine body recovered, Lu Yunhe did not resume his seclusion. Instead, he took out the corpse of the low-level Chaos Origin Lifeform, Shi Yuanhuang.

Although the exterior looked tattered, the imprint of the Chaos Origin Rules inside the corpse was still very intact and not damaged much.

Lu Yunhe was experiencing the imprint of the Earth and Void Rules within the corpse. At this moment, he had even begun to create a killing move based on the Origin of Earth.

The Void and the Dao of Destruction have reached the ultimate realm, with the former even beginning to advance towards the Chaos Origin level.

Aside from these two fundamental paths, Lu Yunhe's deepest understanding was not of the Eternal Path, but of the Five Elements, the Three Phases, and the Chaos Path.

"The Five Elements and the Void!"

Lu Yunhe threw the Stone Emperor's corpse into the Creation Cauldron. The originally damaged body was not melted by the Creation Fire, but instead felt restored.

Lu Yunhe didn't care about this, and instead started to invest some Hunyuan sand.

Even high-end materials only require simple auxiliary materials to be refined.

Comparable to a low-level Chaos Origin life form at the late Emperor level, its essence is astonishingly high; every strand of flesh, every bone, and every inch of skin is priceless.

The Hunyuan Sand was also created by Lu Yunhe through the Hunyuan Golden Bucket, which crushed the Hunyuan Sand, and then filled the void in the Stone Emperor's corpse with the Fire of Creation.

Under the burning of the Creation Fire, the Stone Emperor's corpse gradually softened and deformed.

As for the Hunyuan Golden Bucket, it had now completely transformed into a blower, constantly spitting out Hunyuan power into the Creation Cauldron.
