Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 90

The flowing golden light continuously revealed three images: a monster resembling a giant lizard, its sharp horns raised as it looked up at the sky; a huge hand descended from the sky and grabbed the monster, causing the ancient monster to pounce; at the same time, its long tail seemed to disappear in an instant, striking the huge hand.

The images and shadows created by the flow of external malevolent energy are reflections of the core of the vortex.

"These are the images!"

Lu Yunhe was the first to be attracted by these images and instantly became immersed in a certain enlightenment, while the golden dragon clone in the space-time realm also became completely quiet.

The first of the three images shows a giant hand descending from the sky, with a monster leaping and whipping its tail to scatter the hand.

In the second image, the monster is charging forward with its head down and golden horns pointing directly ahead—a simple scene of it rushing and crashing headfirst into something.

In the third image, the monster suddenly swung its hoof and claws, delivering a direct strike.

As natural beast gods born from the primordial universe, the actions of these powerful beings naturally conform to a certain essential law.

It must be said that the Beast Gods are truly treasures from head to toe. Their flesh and blood can enhance their genetic level, their scales and armor can be used to create priceless treasures, and even their movements can move people.

Previously, Lu Yunhe had obtained the inherited memories of the Golden Horned Beast from Luo Feng, and his Golden Dragon clone had also attempted to cultivate it. However, he spent most of his time immersed in comprehending the laws, and only scratched the surface of many secret techniques.

Now that the Beast God's phantom is a reference, and with the breakthrough to the Realm Lord level imminent, the Golden Dragon clone can try to create its own combat techniques.

At the core of the malevolent vortex, the golden dragon clone was comprehending the phantom of the beast god, while the other clones, through Lu Yunhe's consciousness, were comprehending the twelve long pillars of spatial law secret patterns around them.

"It's primarily composed of spatial law runes, but also interspersed with the essence of metal. Is it a fusion of laws?"

The laws on the twelve secret-patterned pillars are extremely profound. Even Lu Yunhe could only guess at them based on the plot and barely understand a little bit.

The Golden Beast God, or more accurately the Golden Void Beast God, is a symbol of the primordial universe's Golden Void Fusion Law.

"I wonder who placed these mystical-patterned pillars here?"

Lu Yunhe pondered these things silently, but they were not of much concern to him for the time being. He would write them down and study them first.

Consciousness comprehends the laws and images, while Lu Yunhe's human body is constantly being cleansed by the baleful energy, making it even more compatible with the Blood Crystal.

The baleful energy at the core of the vortex has a transformative effect on the body that is thousands of times better than the baleful energy in the deep pit outside. One day here is equivalent to several years of progress outside.

"What an excellent place for cultivation!"

Feeling the speed of his progress in all aspects, Lu Yunhe secretly clicked his tongue in amazement, and then immersed himself in cultivation.

Chapter 141 The Law of Golden Void Fusion

Virtual Universe Rain Mountain!

"Master Lu, aren't you currently on a dangerous mission?" Hong asked with concern.

Hong was exchanging insights with Luo Feng when Lu Yunhe also logged into the virtual universe.

"The danger of missions in the virtual universe actually lies mainly in obtaining the hidden benefits behind the mission!" Lu Yunhe shook his head slightly.

Taking the Blood Luo Continent mission as an example, the first objective, the Blood Luo Crystal, actually only requires killing a Domain Lord. This level of difficulty is not challenging for these geniuses selected from the entire human race.

"Hidden benefits?" Luo Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "Teacher, what other secrets lie behind the difficulty of these tasks?"

"Of course, you don't think these secret realms are all prepared for us little universe-level beings, do you?" Lu Yunhe asked rhetorically. "Like the Blood Luo Continent mission I'm currently undertaking, there's a universe-level being guarding the outside of the secret realm."

"Lord of the Universe!"

Luo Feng was somewhat shocked, and instantly realized that the cultivation task he had overlooked probably hid an astonishing secret.

“Teacher, I’m also going to carry out a cultivation mission!” Luo Feng said.

Two years had passed since they left Chaos City. After two years of adaptation and reflection, Luo Feng had fully integrated into life in the Primordial Secret Realm, and his condition in all aspects had reached its peak.

"As for me, I plan to wait a bit longer and first cultivate my Cloud Vine to the Domain Lord level."

After conquering the Illusion Island, Hong also gained a considerable amount of points, enough to cultivate the Cloud Vine to the Domain Lord level, which would enhance its survival ability.

Watching the two begin their preparations, Lu Yunhe gave them a final reminder: "Although there are hidden benefits in cultivation missions, there's no need to pursue them excessively. Once someone dies, even the greatest benefits are meaningless!"

"Understood!"*2

Bloodlust Continent, at the core of the vortex of malevolent energy!

"Luo Feng is finally going to enter the Blood Luo Continent!" Lu Yunhe pondered for a moment. He had to admit that the Blood Luo Continent was definitely a piece of cake for the Golden Horned Beast Clan.

The Golden Sky Beast God's inheritance, the Blood Crystal that enhances the genetic level, and the Law Runes... are all extremely compatible with the Golden Horned Beast.

Therefore, seeing that Luo Feng had been cultivating in the Primordial Secret Realm, Lu Yunhe specifically reminded him that he should not miss this opportunity.

Although he learned that Luo Feng was also coming to the Blood Luo Continent, Lu Yunhe did not let Gong Shanwen make arrangements. After all, he did not plan to stay here for many years, and he estimated that Gong Shanwen would not be able to protect him when he left.

Anyway, with the Demon Slayer Clan around, as long as we don't recklessly venture into the Immortal Temple, there's no fatal danger on the Blood Luo Continent.

"My body is already saturated!"

Lu Yunhe looked at the golden stone pillar patterns around him. Under the golden rays of the evil energy vortex, his body was already approaching saturation in just two months.

At that time, neither the evil energy nor the golden rays were useful; they could not improve his fusion with the Blood Crystal.

"Is the limit only seven Blood Crystals?"

Lu Yunhe tried to fuse another Blood Crystal, but failed again. In total, his human form only fused with seven Blood Crystals.

To be honest, this number is not low. At that time, Luo Feng, who had not yet cultivated the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, had only fused three Blood Crystals after his body reached saturation, and had just become a Blood Warrior.

Ba Qi, who is known as the number one genius of the Blood Luo Continent, has only fused 8 Blood Luo Crystals so far.

The fusion rate of seven pieces surpassed that of most people, but it was still not enough to reach the level of a Black Warrior with ten pieces, which Lu Yunhe found regrettable.

It should be noted that when the Lord of Chaos City, who was the master of the universe, learned that Luo Feng had become a Black Warrior, he said "good" three times.

"It seems my human form isn't special at all!"

Lu Yunhe felt only a little regretful about this, because while the genetic level offered a significant advantage in the early stages, it could be compensated for later.

There is no limitation that one cannot advance smoothly without improving their genetic level.

"gone!"

My body is already saturated, and I have recorded the phantom of the Beast God and some of the spatial law runes. There is no need for me to stay in this vortex of malevolent energy any longer.

"There are still 10080 evil energy vortexes!"

Lu Yunhe's goal is 10081 evil energy vortexes. In the Devouring World, 10081 is considered a perfect number.

Lu Yunhe then left the vortex of malevolent energy and summoned Gong Shanwen, from whom he obtained the identity of a disciple of the Immortal Temple.

With the identity of a temple disciple, one can travel freely and conveniently in most parts of the Blood Luo Continent.

The entire ancient god ruins cover an area of ​​hundreds of billions of kilometers, and the 10081 evil energy vortexes are mainly distributed in the central area. It wouldn't take long for a spaceship to circle around them at sub-light speed.

"The second one!"

Lu Yunhe piloted the spaceship above the second vortex of malevolent energy. This spaceship, obtained from Gong Shanwen, had been officially registered with the Immortal Temple and was usable. However, its rating was very low; in the primordial universe, it would probably only be at the A-level.

"I wonder what's inside this vortex of malevolent energy?"

Lu Yunhe rushed into the core of the evil energy vortex once again, and a familiar golden light shone on him again, making his whole body feel itchy.

However, this feeling quickly disappeared, as if the body had fallen into a state of saturation again.

"It has some effect, but it's not obvious!"

Lu Yunhe carefully considered it, shook his head helplessly, and then turned his gaze to the twelve law-patterned pillars around him.

Most of the spatial law runes are the same as those in the first vortex of evil energy, but there are also some completely new spatial law runes.

In addition, a completely new image appeared in the phantom of the beast god in the core of the evil energy: a monster roaring with its huge mouth open.

"Write this down first!"

The spatial law runes were given to Zetton's clone to comprehend, while the golden dragon clone focused on cultivating the fundamental law of time and comprehended the beast god's phantom as a combat technique.

After spending half a day recording everything, Lu Yunhe left the core of the evil energy and headed to his next destination.

"The 100th location!"

Having explored nearly one percent of the core of the evil energy, Lu Yunhe, after integrating the secret techniques and runes he had previously collected, felt that these law runes should not have been imprinted on the golden pillar.

Seeing this, Lu Yunhe had a sudden inspiration and, using the phantom of the Beast God as a base, imprinted the Blood Luo Power pattern and Law Secret Runes from the Golden Dragon clone onto the Beast God.

There was no deliberate painting; everything was pieced together by feeling.

In an instant, the illusory image of the beast god came to life as if the finishing touch had been added to a masterpiece.

"Roar!"

A roar resounded in Lu Yunhe's mind, making him feel as if he had transformed into a beast god traversing the starry sky, and a brand new law seemed to have opened its door to him.

"The Law of Metal-Void Fusion!"

Chapter 142 Two Small Goals

"The Law of Metal-Void Fusion!"

Looking at the vivid phantom of the Beast God in his mind, Lu Yunhe understood what the hidden benefit was beneath the 10081 vortexes of evil energy: the Path of the Beast God.

As one of the places where the Beast God fell, it's not surprising that the Blood Continent contains a Beast God's legacy. However, since it's a secret realm completely occupied by humans, the real bulk of the benefits have likely already been taken.

"The essence of enhancing the baleful aura is probably the degree of compatibility with the path of the Beast God, while the Blood Crystal is the manifestation of the power of the Beast God, and the Law Runes are the guide of the path of the Beast God, a complete cultivation process."

Lu Yunhe pondered in his heart that this Blood Luo Continent could be considered a training ground for the Path of the Beast God.

In the original work, the Lord of Chaos City was happy for Luo Feng to become a Black Warrior, probably because of his compatibility with the Path of the Beast God, after all, it is also a cosmic path to heaven.

To become a Black Warrior by fusing ten Blood Crystals with a purely human body—this aptitude for the Path of the Beast God is probably far greater than that of an ordinary Golden Horned Beast.

"continue!"

Having made some progress, Lu Yunhe was filled with anticipation for the upcoming journey of evil energy. He wasn't afraid of the tediousness, but rather of having no goal and no gains.

"The Way of the Beast God!"

Lu Yunhe's plan for his cultivation path was to first fully comprehend the Ten Great Laws, and then to integrate the Eight Great Laws, both of which were the clearest guidance from the original universe.

Lu Yunhe then headed to the next vortex of malevolent energy, while Luo Feng also arrived on the Blood Luo Continent, seeking the Blood Luo Crystal.

"Is this the Bloodlust Continent? I wonder if I'll have a chance to run into my teacher?"
