Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 138

After all, although Lu Yunhe's secret technique level had reached the peak, his understanding of the laws was still at the level of the sixteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge, which would only be considered mid-level among the immortals who had been granted the title of Marquis.

The ability to suppress the immortal ape-men was basically due to their arcane level and weaponry.

The battle raged for three days and three nights before Lu Yunhe finally stopped attacking. The ape-man warriors looked extremely disheveled, their armor tattered and torn, but their strength remained undiminished.

"almost!"

After assessing his true combat strength, Lu Yunhe waved his hand to dismiss the ape-man warriors, remaining alone in the starry sky.

"Without the aid of external aids, my true combat strength can only reach the level of a Marquis Immortal, and I can only bully a Military Lord-level Immortal."

Lu Yunhe pondered, "There's no way around it; the immortality of a Marquis is a bit too much. If you can't damage its essence, it's practically the same as not breaking through its defenses."

To harm the essence of a Marquis-level immortal, one would need at least the combat power of a King-level being; killing one would be even more difficult.

"King-level combat power!"

Lu Yunhe shook his head. Without external aids, a World Lord level cultivator could never possess such combat power.

Even with the aid of external aids, the most core geniuses of the human race, at the realm lord level, can only barely approach the combat power of a king-level being, and are still far from being able to kill a marquis-level immortal.

"Now that I'm fairly familiar with the power, it's time to go out and make my own way in the world."

After exiting the virtual universe network, Lu Yunhe went to the Chaos Ruins again, leaving his Ultraman clone, Zetton clone, Golden Dragon clone, and Softia clone in the initial universe.

Afterwards, Lu Yunhe, along with the Divine Tree clone, left Chaos City under a different identity.

Chapter 209 Morning Star

"Mr. Yuan!"

A shuttle-shaped spaceship hovered above Chaos City, and then Lu Yunhe, dressed in dark gold armor, flew towards the hatch.

"this way please!"

At the cabin door, a man dressed in red was warmly greeting guests.

Spaceships frequently travel between the Chaos City of the Initial Universe and the headquarters of the 'Virtual Universe Company' in the Primal Universe through the 'Cosmic Channel'.

Therefore, Lu Yunhe arranged a fake identity for himself through the virtual universe network and boarded a spaceship to leave Chaos City.

Wow!

After the last passenger entered, the hatch officially closed, and the spaceship began its ascent into the depths of the chaotic airflow.

Original universe, virtual universe company headquarters.

Vast continents float in the starry sky, their area far exceeding that of the Blood Luo Continent in the cosmic secret realm.

"Boom~~"

At the heart of the main road, two tall gates opened automatically, revealing a magnificent passageway.

This is the cosmic passage!

A spaceship slowly flew out from the passage connecting the 'primordial universe' and the 'initial universe', followed by a few more people... After flying for several minutes, it finally landed at a distribution center.

"Everyone, please!"

At the beckoning of the red-robed immortal deity, the passengers on the spaceship disembarked in order of their strength and status.

Without a doubt, Lu Yunhe, who only possessed the strength of an Immortal Army Lord, made it to the end.

Of course, all visitors are welcome. As the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, and monitored by the virtual network, the staff here do not discriminate and fulfill their obligations as usual.

"Virtual Universe Hub!"

Guided by the staff, Lu Yunhe arrived at the centralized teleportation area built by the Virtual Universe Company.

Within this region, there are 36 fixed spatial passages that provide direct access to 36 parts of the human territory.

The so-called fixed channel is actually a way to teleport to various parts of the universe from the Immortal God Kingdom as a base.

After all, the primordial universe is simply too vast, and a single teleportation to the divine realm is costly, while travel time in the dark universe is slow.

That's why the Divine Kingdom Base was established; with a large amount of resources and personnel pre-transferred, costs could be reduced.

The immortal gods who have dedicated their divine kingdoms need not worry about their safety, as they are perfectly safe unless the human race faces a crisis of extinction.

"Although Virtual Universe Company is a large and powerful company, it doesn't skimp on saving money where possible."

Lu Yunhe chuckled inwardly and, guided by the staff, headed towards Space Passage No. 18.

As the name suggests, the extraterritorial battlefield is located outside the human race's territory, so fixed routes cannot be used to travel there directly; instead, people can only be sent to the nearest logistics base.

Lu Yunhe then passed through a shimmering water curtain, which was the Divine Kingdom Passage, and in an instant, he traversed hundreds of millions of light-years, arriving in an area far from the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company.

"Venus!"

After the teleportation to the Divine Kingdom ended, Lu Yunhe took out a spaceship worth tens of thousands of Chaos Units from his storage ring and headed to his destination.

Since you're going out in a low-key manner, it's best to use items that match your status.

The existence of an immortal military lord is just right for using a spaceship worth more than tens of thousands of Chaos Units.

Once he possessed strength comparable to an immortal king, Lu Yunhe prepared to take out the spaceship from his storage ring, which had a market value of over one billion Chaos Units, and show it off.

Morning Star, one of the eight major logistics bases within human territory, is also a fixed transport point for the cosmic army, from which a large number of cosmic troops are continuously transported to the 'extraterritorial battlefield'.

Generally, battlefields outside the region do not accept those who come on their own initiative; they must first register at the logistics base and then be connected to the network.

This facilitates the management of bases in external battlefields, preventing the mixing of personnel and the infiltration of spies.

Most importantly, once you have the identity of a soldier, you don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back by someone from your own faction.

Unless they've retired from the military, members of the same faction are not allowed to attack each other. This is especially true for the Human race, because their virtual universe system can function fully even in extraterrestrial battlefields.

"arrive."

After flying through the dark universe for a period of time, the spaceship slowly returned to the original universe. Afterwards, Lu Yunhe in the control room looked towards a huge planet in the distance.

Venus, with a diameter of 121.3 million kilometers, is an artificially created planet. Its size, comparable to that of a star, makes this man-made planet a cosmic fortress.

"beep."

"Master, guidance signal received from the Morning Star," Delacion notified on the control panel screen. "Signal established. Proceed with landing as instructed?"

"Okay." Lu Yunhe nodded.

Whoosh!

Following the instructions, the spacecraft then landed on the Venus Star's spacecraft parking platform.

"A top-tier E-class spaceship. I wonder if it's a World Lord or an Immortal God who has arrived."

A man in silver standard combat armor looked at the landing spaceship and pondered.

E-class peak spaceships are basically used by World Lords or Immortal Military Lords, while Marquis Gods generally use F-class spaceships.

Just as the armored man was pondering, the spaceship's hatch opened, and a domain of laws belonging to an immortal god was faintly released.

"Achieve immortality as a god through the fundamental laws of light!"

The well-informed armored man, sensing the aura emanating from the domain of laws, felt a pang of envy.

As a realm lord-level being, what he longs for is to one day break through and become immortal, possessing an endless lifespan.

If the weakest immortal god is only a hundred times stronger than a peak world lord, then the difference in lifespan is so great that even a million or ten million times cannot make up for it.

"Sir, I am a staff member here. How can I help you?" the armored man asked respectfully.

"Looks like the disguise was quite good!"

Looking at the respectful man, Lu Yunhe chuckled inwardly. Through the operation of the Ten Great Laws, he directly simulated the effects of a Law Domain.

Based on the laws of space and time, the eight laws are passed down, and then we jointly respect the fundamental law of light, especially the realm of the fundamental law of light.

As long as you don't directly fight people within the realm of laws, you generally won't be able to detect any problems.

In most cases, if they sense that you also have a Law Domain, other immortals will not use a Law Domain.

After all, both the projection of the realm lord and the domain of laws are used to bully weaker opponents. They are basically useless against beings of the same level, unless one has the talent to cooperate with the domain of laws.

"I applied to enter the extraterritorial battlefield. Which way should I go?" Lu Yunhe asked.

"My lord, the space army always comes in groups, while the lone wolves all travel together along this passage to the assembly point."

The armored man pointed to a wide, transparent glass passage in the distance. "The entire passage is about three thousand kilometers long, and the gathering point is at the end of the road."

Chapter 210 Immortal Military Lord (High-Level)

"Thank you." Lu Yunhe nodded.

Then, with his hands behind his back, he stood in mid-air, releasing a faint aura of law and gently drifting towards the end of the passage. An immortal god should have the demeanor of a god.

After only three thousand kilometers, Lu Yunhe soon arrived at the end of the passage.

Before them lay a beautiful plaza, over a hundred kilometers in diameter, where tens of thousands of people were gathered, including those at the cosmic, domain lord, and world lord levels.

"Ugh, this is such a hassle. When will we finally be able to set off? We've been here for over a decade, and now we'll have to wait even after we reach Morning Star."

A man with a small golden sword symbol on his forehead, dressed in blue, complained. He was clearly a realm lord who had been recognized by the fundamental laws.

Hearing his companion's complaints, the man in the bright armor opposite him smiled slightly: "Don't complain. People like us still have a long way to go. We can set off as soon as we gather a hundred World Lords."

“Those other little guys at the cosmic level and domain lord level, no matter how many of them gather, will never get the chance to set off.”

"That's true!"

The man in blue nodded, and after the comparison, his depressed mood improved considerably.

Just as the two continued their conversation, the man in the luminous armor suddenly sensed something and smiled, saying, "Perhaps we don't need to wait any longer."

The man accompanying him had just shown a look of doubt when he suddenly sensed the aura of the Law Domain. He immediately fell silent and looked toward the passage.

Then, Lu Yunhe, dressed in dark gold armor, walked into the hall. The crowd that had been talking immediately fell silent and paid their respects to the newcomer.

"Immortal God!"

The people in the hall looked at Lu Yunhe as he walked in, their faces showing respect and admiration, while also understanding that they didn't need to wait any longer.
