Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 269

Complex patterns appeared on the two beams of emerald light, which simultaneously emitted billions of rays of light, shooting towards the strange beasts that were formed from stars.

"True God!" "True God!" "True God!"

Hundreds of millions of strange beasts all raised their heads and roared in unison, then "whoosh," they quickly coalesced and converged towards the blue-eyed divine light.

Billions of celestial beasts, taking human form.

Azure eyes, radiant with light, for the soul.

Using an ancient secret technique as its central point... a colossal beast was directly formed, standing majestically in the void, with nine enormous heads, thirty-six pairs of wings, one hundred and eight pairs of hooves and claws, and nine distinct tails...

Standing simply in this void, the laws governing its operation had long since receded, and the sheer power of its aura surpassed even that of the two True Lords, who were the strongest beings in the universe.

silence!

There was silence!

"Eternal God, kill him!" The phantom of the Third God pointed at the Eternal God.

The nine heads of the Eternal True God are either ferocious, cold, roaring, laughing, or growling... The eyes of each of its heads look in many directions in the surrounding void. Wherever its gaze falls, the space of the universe is completely frozen. Even the power of the strongest being in the universe cannot shatter the frozen space.

"Peng!" "Peng!" "Peng!"

The Eternal God trod through the void, each step causing the void to tremble and resound. The sound of the one hundred and eight pairs of hooves pounding the void was perfectly synchronized.

"Although this Eternal Lord can be considered the number one among the Lords of the Universe, he is ultimately only at the level of the Lord of the Universe. Even if he rivals the strongest with his supreme treasure, he is still at the weakest level," the Sixth True Lord said sarcastically.

Although it's somewhat shameful for two of the strongest beings in the universe to join forces to attack a universe master, it's not unacceptable if this universe master is considered number one and possesses two supreme treasures.

After all, can face be more important than a priceless treasure?

"Peng!" "Peng!" "Peng!"

The Eternal True God was enormous, seemingly treading slowly through the void, but in reality, its speed had already exceeded a hundred times the speed of light. The laws of operation were no longer effective here, and it quickly arrived in front of Lu Yunhe in a mighty manner.

"Ah!" Accompanied by a high-pitched cry containing a soul-shaking impact, the Eternal True God instantly exploded, its fangs sharp and its hooves like hooks, wantonly grabbing at Lu Yunhe.

"Eternal Ark, ram it!"

Looking at the ancient and powerful "Eternal True God", Lu Yunhe gripped the celestial boat that had transformed into a long shuttle, completely ignoring the soul attack technique it released, and suddenly rammed forward.

Tear!

Faced with the collision of the Eternal Sky Ship, the incredibly solidified space was shattered as if ice were hitting a broken ice ship.

Despite breaking through layers of solidified space, the aura on the Eternal Sky Ship remained completely unchanged, as if it had only done something insignificant.

boom……

Then, the long, shuttle-like Eternal Ark collided directly with the hooves of the "Eternal True God".

In an instant, space and time trembled, and even the laws seemed to be obliterated. The 108 pairs of hooves of the Eternal True God trembled slightly, while the Eternal Sky Ship remained unmoved.

“What a strong impact!”

The Eternal Sky Ship remained unmoved, but Lu Yunhe's entire divine body, which held the ship, trembled.

Fortunately, the armor formed from the wings of the Wu-killing warrior was incredibly powerful, rendering attacks below the eighth rank ineffective and weakening those above the eighth rank by a million times.

The impact force of this collision, after being weakened by both the celestial vessel and the armor, caused negligible damage to Lu Yunhe's divine body.

"If I hadn't been wearing the Supreme Treasure Armor, the force of that impact alone would probably have injured my divine body," Lu Yunhe said thankfully, but his expression was incredibly fervent.

With these two extraordinary treasures, he truly possesses the strength to contend with the strongest beings in the universe.

"impossible!"

Seeing that the Eternal Lord's aura had not diminished at all after the collision, the Third True Lord and the Sixth True Lord were both furious and incredulous.

"Lord of Eternity, do you perhaps possess a supreme and invaluable armor?" the Sixth True Lord suddenly asked.

However, Lu Yunhe did not answer the Sixth True Lord's question. Instead, he gave him a disdainful look. What does it matter to your Divine Eye Clan whether he has the Supreme Treasure Armor or not?

"Good, very good. As expected of a universe capable of comprehending a sixth-order secret technique, this is the first time our Divine Eye Clan has encountered such a thing," the third true master of the hazy phantom said slowly.

"This Eternal True God, I created this move by joining forces with the Sixth True God, combining the power of the supreme treasure with the insights from ancient inheritance. Even the strongest beings in the universe who possess the supreme treasure could suppress it, but you withstood it. Impressive, impressive."

"Eternal Lord, I, the Third God, declare you the strongest and most powerful ruler of the universe!"

The Third God's voice changed from gentle to sharp. In order to make his move look less bad, he naturally had to boast about his opponent. Although the Third God felt that the Eternal Lord did indeed deserve the title of the strongest Lord of the Universe.

"Facing the Eternal Lord, the strongest cosmic lord in the history of this cosmic sea, it is not shameful for me and the Sixth True Lord to go all out."

"Blue-eyed," said the Third God, "make your move."

"Fine, let's not let this Eternal Lord underestimate our Divine Eye Clan." The Sixth True Lord was also completely enraged.

This was a battle to establish authority. The result was that first, the cosmic lord of the race was slaughtered, and then the two true gods joined forces but failed to suppress a cosmic lord in a single blow. If this were to get out, the beings of the cosmic sea would probably laugh themselves to death.

Immediately—the entire body of the enormous Eternal True God began to emit a hazy emerald light, and countless emerald lights began to condense into secret patterns, causing the entire 'Eternal True God' to begin to change. Moreover, two purple lights flew up and swiftly flew into the body of the Eternal True God.

"Star Hand!"

Seeing the actions of the two True Lords, Lu Yunhe understood that they were getting serious, unleashing three supreme treasures at once, especially the Star Hand, which was an offensive supreme treasure.

"As expected of the Divine Eye Clan, the strongest being in the universe actually possesses two supreme treasures, but unfortunately, he's unlucky."

Lu Yunhe thought to himself, "With the two strongest beings in the universe joining forces, along with three supreme treasures of various kinds, they can almost crush most of the strongest beings in the universe."

Unfortunately, he was unlucky and encountered the creator of the giant axe in the original story, who possessed the most powerful treasure and could unleash the strength of the ninth rank.

Now they've encountered Lu Yunhe, this cheater. Neither the Eternal Sky Ark nor the Wu-Slaying Wings can be described as supreme treasures.

These two extraordinary treasures are as follows: the Eternal Sky Ark is equivalent to three supreme treasures—attack, palace, and soul defense—while the Wu-Slaying Wings are equivalent to two supreme treasures—time and space, and armor.

In other words, Lu Yunhe was essentially fighting with five supreme treasures at his disposal, which was terrifying.

Just then, the Eternal True God, who had absorbed the Star Hand, grew a pair of extremely thick hind hooves and stood upright!

The originally numerous hooves and claws merged together and became just 18 sharp claws. It has nine heads, each with two sharp claws, as if it were nine ferocious beasts connected together.

"Roar~~" "Roar~~~"

The nine heads of the Eternal True God let out even more frantic cries, its eighteen arms were incredibly sharp, and its entire body was covered in a layer of purple armor.

"The Three Supreme Treasures!"

"With the two of us joining forces and combining our secret techniques, I refuse to believe you can withstand it any longer!!!" The Third True Lord's voice was icy cold.

"Then give it a try!"

Lu Yunhe channeled his divine power into the power cabin of the Sky Ship, stimulating the Eternal Core like an electric current.

hum…

In an instant, the Eternal Core expanded almost imperceptibly, devouring Lu Yunhe's divine power, and then purified and released that divine power, which flowed into the power of the Sky Ship.

Suddenly, fiery gold patterns appeared on the shuttle-like celestial vessel, giving it a noble and mysterious appearance.

"Collide!"

Lu Yunhe gripped the Eternal Sky Boat, his figure also towering like a giant, wielding a spear as he charged directly at the "Eternal True God".

Rumble…

The long, shuttle-like Eternal Sky Ship collided instantly with the purple-armored Eternal True God. The Sky Ship struck the sharp claws hard, and a terrifying impact swept outwards from both sides.

buzzing...

After the two collided, Lu Yunhe's figure was instantly sent flying by the impact. Then, five pairs of silver wings on his back unfolded and connected with time and space. After flapping his wings a few times, he came to an abrupt stop.

Meanwhile, the "Eternal God" standing on the other side also retreated dozens of steps before finally stopping.

Chapter 317 Stalemate

"What? The Eternal God was actually repelled?" The Sixth True God was stunned. "How did he unleash such terrifying power?"

Although the Eternal True God did suppress Lu Yunhe, it was not the crushing defeat they had imagined.

Although Lu Yunhe was knocked away, the power he unleashed also repelled the Eternal True God.

What the Sixth God found most unacceptable was that the Eternal Lord's final burst of power was no less than his own.

It should be noted that he was an existence who had cultivated for more than two reincarnations at the True God level, yet he displayed strength comparable to that of a Universe Lord.

"Top-tier seventh rank!"

Lu Yunhe unfurled the Wings of Killing Wu, stabilizing his body as he was sent flying backward, though his expression was somewhat excited.

Indeed, combat is the fastest way to improve one's strength. Without fighting the strongest, he would not have known that the Eternal Sky Ship had this function.

The fifth level of the Eternal Sky Ark is equivalent to a seventh-tier secret technique, which, given his strength as a sixth-tier universe master, is also equivalent to a seventh-tier level.

However, once he injects divine power into the Eternal Core and empowers the Heavenly Ship with divine power, he can unleash this power to the peak of the seventh rank.

This means that the power unleashed by the Eternal Sky Ark can also be enhanced by his divine power.

If his divine power could advance further, such as to achieve a divine power flow or break through to true godhood, even if his secret technique realm remained unchanged, with the blessing of divine power, the fifth level of the Eternal Heavenly Ship would probably be able to unleash the power of a weak eighth-tier being.

"It's somewhat similar to the blessing of divine power burning!"

Lu Yunhe seemed to understand something; it seemed that there were still many functions within the Eternal Sky Ship waiting for him to discover.

Indeed, he is still only a universe master, and it is impossible for him to fully unleash the power of a god-king level treasure. For now, he can only use it as a special supreme treasure.

The same applies to the Killing Wu Wings. Because the "Source" within it was intended as a trump card, the true function of the Mechanical Flow Treasure could not be brought into play. It could only be used as a treasure with a focus on domain control.

It's important to know that even ordinary mechanical artifacts can enhance their power to a higher level, let alone the "Chaos Golden Wings".

Moreover, after this battle, Lu Yunhe realized that he seemed to have overestimated the strength of the strongest beings in the Cosmic Sea.

Because he himself possessed the most powerful treasure, he was able to exert the strength of a top-tier seventh-tier expert with the strength of a sixth-tier expert. He believed that the strongest individuals who possessed the most powerful treasures could all exert strength that surpassed their own level.

However, this is not the case in reality. Even if one possesses the most powerful treasure, only those who can be considered among the strongest can unleash a level of power through the most powerful treasure that surpasses their own secret techniques.

For example, the founder of the Giant Axe and the first true master of the Divine Eye Clan... both created top-tier eighth-order secret techniques, and then, with the right treasures, were able to unleash top-tier ninth-order strength, making them arguably the strongest beings in the universe at their limit.

However, the Sixth True Lord on the other side is only at the seventh level in terms of strength. Even if he has the most powerful treasure, he is still only at the seventh level and cannot reach the eighth level.

The other Third True Lord also relied on two supreme treasures to barely reach the eighth level.

Even when the two of them joined forces at full power, the Eternal True God only possessed the strength of a top-tier eighth-order being.

As for why Lu Yunhe was able to unleash the top level of the seventh rank with the help of the supreme treasure at the sixth rank, it is still a matter of how he was able to achieve this.
