Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 274

The Lord of Chaos City couldn't help but burst into loud laughter, his voice echoing throughout the entire Chaos Ruins.

……

"Who exactly is this Lord of Eternity?"

The demon race was also discussing the identity of the Eternal Lord, and the Lord of Changjiu thought of the Lord of Ultra.

However, the fifth-tier secret technique of the Lord of Ultra is a talent secret technique; his true self-created secret technique is actually only at the third tier.

The Lord of Chaotic Clouds, who has been dealing with the Lord of Ultra for a long time, is the most qualified to speak on this point, because when he first fought the Lord, the Lord's secret technique was only at the first level.

The Eternal Lord's first appearance was at the top level of the fifth rank in arcane arts, and the time interval between the two was simply too short.

Therefore, when someone in the demon race suspected Ultraman, they were immediately ruled out by the demons, including Changjiu.

Moreover, no one in the Cosmic Sea suspected that it was Ultraman's helper, because the demon race had already released Ultraman's detailed information.

With a talent level of five and a self-created secret technique at level three, this is the situation of the Lord of Ultra.

The first and second cycles could not conceal the Lord of the Universe, and the two holy lands did not conceal the Lord of the Universe. Therefore, there is only the primordial universe of this cycle.

"We must find the Lord of Eternity. It is extremely dangerous that such a powerful being is hidden in the primordial universe," said the Dream Demon Ancestor, ending the meeting.

Then, he brought together several races, including the Humans, Zerg, and Machines, to start a tournament of the strongest.

The two holy lands, the first and second reincarnation eras, and the major forces in the primordial universe are all frantically discussing the information about the Eternal Lord.

Almost all factions unanimously regard the Eternal Lord as the strongest being in the universe.

Privately, the search for the identity of the Eternal Lord has intensified among various factions.

However, the various external factors could not affect Lu Yunhe at all. At this moment, he was still riding the Eternal Sky Ship, heading towards the inner domain of the Cosmic Ship.

Lu Yunhe's goal was naturally the treasure left behind by Jie Fanzi inside the spaceship.

Being ambushed by the Divine Eye Clan on the road was a completely unexpected surprise for him, although this unexpected surprise was more important than the treasure.

Lu Yunhe also thought that he might need to take advantage of the dangerous environment inside the spaceship to find an opportunity for a breakthrough.

Even the strongest beings in the universe risk perishing within the inner domain of the spaceship.

Although Lu Yunhe possessed the Eternal Sky Boat, the environment of the perilous lands could not break through the treasure's defenses. However, because the treasure's kinetic energy was linked to divine power, it was often swept around by some terrifying environments and was even nearly sucked into some perilous lands.

Similarly, the danger of this alliance between a dozen top experts and the Lord of the Universe is so great that it is a death sentence for the Lord of the Universe, and it will also put him under considerable pressure.

"I wonder when the primordial universe will release the legacy of the Wu Kingdom this time."

Lu Yunhe sat in the Eternal Sky Ship, deep in thought, when a terrifying tornado began to pull at the ship.

If you get sucked in, you'll probably have to wait a long time for the wind to gradually subside before you have a chance to get out.

"Eternal Cannon!"

Suddenly, a beam of light comparable to the full-force attack of the strongest being in the universe shot out, directly blasting towards the tornado. The powerful reaction force directly freed the Eternal Sky Ship from the tornado's pull.

Compared to other palace treasures, the Eternal Sky Ship has an unparalleled advantage: even while sitting inside the Sky Ship, one can still control the treasures to unleash their full attack power.

With this skill, Lu Yunhe was able to avoid most of the dangerous environments within the inner domain of the spaceship.

boom…

A small, fiery-gold boat sped forward, carrying Lu Yunhe to the area where the cyan token's secret chamber was located, a place he had spent two thousand years exploring.

Along the way, besides the dangerous environment, Lu Yunhe also obtained many treasures.

However, all these treasures, along with the treasures collected by the Universe Lord who had previously killed the Divine Eye Clan, except for some special and top-grade treasures, were given to the Wu-Slaying Wings to devour in order to repair the marks on the wings.

Looking out at the vast space through the celestial boat, Lu Yunhe began searching for the cyan secret chamber.

"This is the building."

The fiery golden boat slowly slowed down, and after several days, Lu Yunhe finally found the secret room containing his keepsake.

The small boat landed on the giant leaf, the hatch opened, and Lu Yunhe stepped out, looking up at the ancient building that moved on the leaf with little aesthetic appeal.

"The secret chamber containing the blue token."

Lu Yunhe waved his hand, put away the Eternal Sky Boat, and then walked directly to the ancient building in front of him. As soon as he touched it, it was as if he touched the surface of water, and he passed right through it and entered the secret space.

……

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yunhe appeared in mid-air. At a glance, there were nine huge, blazing fireballs in the void, each of which was thousands of times larger than a normal star.

Nine fireballs hung high in the void, circling around.

At the center of their encirclement lies a floating landmass.

"This is it!"

Lu Yunhe stood in the void, and with a thought, five pairs of wings unfolded behind him, spreading out a hazy golden light that instantly enveloped the entire space. Then, he quickly flew towards the floating continent.

……

Chapter 321 Jie Fanzi's Treasure

"Jie Fanzi!"

Lu Yunhe arrived on the desert that had landed on the continent. Looking up at the sky, he saw that the light from the nine blazing fireballs around the sky intertwined across the entire land, forming a scroll with characters made of fire snakes on it.

Although Lu Yunhe couldn't understand the meaning of these words, for cultivators who comprehend the laws, the form of the words was merely the surface; the underlying meaning of the laws was the foundation.

No matter how the appearance of the words changes, the principle remains the same, so Lu Yunhe is still able to comprehend the information contained in the words.

"I am Jie Fanzi."

"It is a special life form, born with the power of water to become immortal, and through cultivation, it has become the strongest in the universe."

"After I became the strongest in the universe... one day, I was living a peaceful life on a life-bearing planet when I suddenly realized that life on this planet needed water to survive; water was the source of life. However, the entire planet relied on the heat of the star to draw energy for all things to grow."

"The laws of water and the laws of fire are not as simple as the laws we comprehend."

"It's not simply two laws; water and fire both involve the source of life, the source of all things, and the source of reproduction. So I created my school, a new ultimate technique—'The Origin of Water and Fire'."

"Without clear guidance, it's easy to go astray." Looking at Jie Fanzi's description, Lu Yunhe instantly understood the extent to which the other party had grasped the concepts—he had jumped too far.

Generally, only when one reaches the Void True God level and wants to break through to the Eternal True God level does one need to comprehend the primordial Dao and understand the fundamental mysteries of the universe, such as the origin of water and fire, the origin of spacetime, etc.

Anyone who comprehends any one of these can become an eternal true god.

Lu Yunhe, on the other hand, was aiming for the Origin of Void and the Origin of Eternity.

With Jie Fanzi as an example, Lu Yunhe was also glad that he was not arrogant, but instead improved step by step from the basics.

While learning from Jie Fanzi's experience, Lu Yunhe continued reading the information.

"I traveled throughout the primordial universe, and then the primordial universe was destroyed. I observed the cosmic sea and comprehended two cycles of reincarnation... The Origin of Water and Fire became more and more perfect. I believe that if given enough time, I will definitely be able to reach a higher level and escape reincarnation. It's just that there isn't enough time... Although I have reached the top combat power of the tenth rank, I am still not confident in escaping reincarnation."

"However, the 'Origin of Water and Fire' is the culmination of my efforts across three lifetimes. I am reluctant to let it disappear, and I hope that future generations can pass on what I have learned."

"The nine fireballs surrounding the void are peculiar objects in the Cosmic Sea Peak Realm. These nine 'ice crystals' were transformed by my ultimate technique, 'Water and Fire Origins,' into nine fireballs. They represent the highest level I can reach. The nine fireballs are now self-contained, and their power does not leak out."

"Beneath this earth lies a supreme palace and treasure."

"The palace contains all the treasures I left behind, as well as the detailed inheritance of my unique skills from the lowest to the highest level. I earnestly hope that future generations will not let my hard work and my legacy be lost."

"If the combat power is at the top level of the tenth rank, the level of the secret technique should only be at the top level of the ninth rank."

Lu Yunhe thought that if the secret technique could reach the tenth level, he would be able to directly break through to the Void True God realm.

When the time comes to attempt reincarnation, there is virtually no possibility of failure.

Creating a tenth-order secret technique at the True God stage is no less difficult than venturing into the cycle of reincarnation. For the vast majority of True Gods who have reached the limit of advancement, it is better to venture into the cycle of reincarnation and gamble on luck.

"Senior Jie Fanzi, please rest assured. Since I have chosen to accept your treasure, I will also help you pass on the Dao of the Source of Water and Fire."

Lu Yunhe bowed slightly to the text, then opened the hatch of the Eternal Sky Ship. Immediately, guided by divine power, the nine enormous fireballs in the sky were swiftly drawn into the ship.

"Rise!" Lu Yunhe looked at the ground beside him.

With a rumble, the earth parted, and a palace emerged from the ground. The sand and stones parted to the sides, revealing the palace.

A wisp of divine power from Lu Yunhe seeped out, and he swiftly recognized this palace treasure as his own.

"What a rich treasure."

After Lu Yunhe recognized the supreme treasure of this peak palace as his master, he quickly learned how many treasures were inside. After sorting and summarizing, he soon figured out the treasure left behind by Jie Fanzi.

Although there are no supreme treasures, there are a great many peak treasures.

There are a total of 32 supreme treasures in the pinnacle palace-level category.

There are 91 ordinary peak treasures, including top-tier domain treasures and top-tier soul treasures.

There are over a hundred supreme treasures of peak value, but very few ordinary supreme treasures, high-grade supreme treasures, and common supreme treasures, totaling only a little over a hundred.

They were basically just casually put away, since without a clan, the strongest wouldn't care about these ordinary treasures.

In addition, there are a vast number of precious treasures, materials for refining supreme treasures, treasures for restoring divine bodies, treasures for enhancing life genes... equally abundant.

"Not counting the most powerful and precious treasures, it is more than the wealth of the entire human race."

Lu Yunhe was somewhat amazed; as expected of the wealth of the strongest, it was indeed abundant.

That's normal, since for a race, wealth is mainly created by the strongest beings in the universe.

Like most of the treasures of the human race, they were all accumulated by the founder of the Great Axe.

If it hadn't been dedicated to humanity, the founder of the Giant Axe would probably have accumulated enough over three lifetimes to be worth much more.

Not to mention that Jie Fanzi was a top-tier tenth-order combatant who had swept across the entire universe in that era.

If he hadn't been obsessed with "The Origin of Water and Fire" and lacked ambition, he would have amassed an even greater treasure if he had focused solely on plunder.

Of course, if we include the most powerful treasures, that's a different story. The Star Tower and the Eternal Sky Ship, two god-king level treasures, directly overwhelm everything.

"With so many treasures, the wounds on the white wings of the Wu Yu Yi can also be repaired."

Lu Yunhe was in a good mood. With these treasures, all his clones could be fully armed. They would have at least a set of top-tier treasures, if not the most powerful ones.

As for the remaining treasures and the map of the cosmic sea, let's give them to the human race at another time.

In any case, from the perspective of the universe's ruler's concept of time, this time does not need to be too long and has no impact.

As Lu Yunhe thought to himself, he flipped his hand, and a fist-sized spherical crystal appeared in his palm. This spherical crystal contained a large amount of information, which was Jie Fanzi's greatest pride, "The Origin of Water and Fire".
