Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 256

However, upon seeing the Lava Demon with his own eyes, all those thoughts were forgotten.

The towering Lava Demon God, with every casual movement, exudes the ultimate power of the strongest being in the entire universe.

Even the strongest beings in the universe who wield the most powerful treasures would have to flee in the face of the Lava Demon God, let alone Lu Yunhe, who is merely a Lord of the Universe.

"Hurry up!"

Lu Yunhe continued to accelerate, occasionally using the power of the Eternal Kingdom to pull some rocks in front of the Lava Demon God, trying to delay the latter by even a little bit.

The impact of the massive rock was comparable to the power of the Lord of the Universe, yet it could not stop the Lava Demon God even for a moment.

Fortunately, Lu Yunhe chose to run away as soon as he saw the Lava Demon God. He kept a long enough distance and soon broke into other caves in the God-Slaying Gorge, disappearing from the Lava Demon God's sight.

"call!"

Lu Yunhe, who had disappeared from the Lava Demon God's sight, still showed no sign of stopping. He hurriedly flew out of the God-Slaying Abyss before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

"How exaggerated, what pure power."

Lu Yunhe let out a long sigh of relief. Faced with this power, he once again suppressed some of the unrestrained emotions in his heart.

Even with the Eternal Sky Ship, the dangers within the three forbidden zones could still kill him, after all, his master was far too weak.

"Forget it, improving our strength is the priority."

Having witnessed the power of the Lava Demon God, Lu Yunhe abandoned his plan to continue searching for treasure and quickly flew towards the Black Pattern Stone Pillar.

He didn't encounter any major dangers along the way. After all, with his strength as a top-tier fifth-order universe master, plus the supreme treasure of the palace type, as long as he didn't do anything reckless, it would be difficult for him to encounter any fatal dangers.

After more than two hundred years, Lu Yunhe finally arrived at the space where the black-patterned stone pillar was located.

"Black-veined stone pillar!"

Upon entering the room, Lu Yunhe saw sixteen black-veined stone pillars, each about a thousand light-years tall.

Each black-patterned stone pillar possesses immense power, surpassing even the most powerful treasures. To this day, no powerful individual has ever been able to truly touch a black-patterned stone pillar, because the closer one gets to the 'black-patterned stone pillar,' the more terrifying the impact on their will becomes. Even the strongest beings in the universe cannot stand before a black-patterned stone pillar.

Similarly, each of the black-patterned stone pillars has some strange secret markings, but so far no one has been able to decipher them.

"It can also teleport, so it's quite safe!"

Lu Yunhe sensed the surrounding space and nodded. In a desperate situation, as long as one can teleport, 95% of the threats can be eliminated.

The Black-Patterned Stone Pillar Space is one of the few safe areas in the entire inner domain of the cosmic ship. The danger of strong people fighting each other is not an issue. Where there are strong people, there will be grudges, and where there are grudges, there will be fighting.

The entire space is supported by 16 black-patterned stone pillars, each thousands of light-years tall. Except for the area near the black-patterned stone pillars where space is frozen and teleportation is impossible, teleportation is possible in other areas of the space.

Safety, teleportation capabilities, fast time flow, ancient relics, and the ability to hone one's will... all these factors make the Black-Patterned Stone Pillar Space a place for strong individuals to rest and cultivate deep within the cosmic vessel.

After observing for a while, Lu Yunhe flew directly towards the black-patterned stone pillar.

As they drew closer, the previously obscured black-veined stone pillars began to reveal their true appearance.

Towering and seemingly endless, its height extends to the very edge of vision, piercing into the mist. The base of the black-veined stone pillar also seeps into the endless mist at the very bottom.

call!call!call!

A vast number of enormous rocks swirl and fly around the black-veined stone pillar, much like the Earth orbiting the sun. These enormous rocks tirelessly orbit the pillar as well. And among the dense, endless array of massive rocks, there are some exquisitely carved black-spired buildings that stand out prominently.

"The secret chamber where the black token is located."

Looking at the black, towering building above, Lu Yunhe felt a pang of regret. The cyan token from Jie Fanzi in his hand wasn't in this area, but in a more central location; otherwise, it would have been much simpler.

"Ok!"

Just as Lu Yunhe drew closer, a figure dressed in white robes, with skin as white as jade, standing with his eyes closed on a huge rock, blocked his way.

Behind the figure in the white robe, a single-eyed phantom was faintly emitting light.

"It's the Divine Eye Clan again! You guys are really persistent!"

Looking at that familiar attire, Lu Yunhe couldn't help but shake his head. He hadn't even gone to cause trouble for the Divine Eye Clan yet, and they had already found him first.

"Lord of Eternity, I am the Lord of the Pure Eye!"

The Lord of the Pure Eyes said arrogantly, "The First True Lord of the Divine Eye Clan boasts of the Eternal Lord in this way."

Not only were the other universe lords somewhat unconvinced, but even the universe lords within the Divine Eye Clan were not convinced.

Beings with the strength of a fifth-order universe master are almost always very confident in their own strength and rarely submit to beings of the same level.

After all, everyone has reached the pinnacle of being a master of the universe, so there's not that much of a difference.

Therefore, after obtaining the direction for the Eternal Lord's progress from other universe lords, the Lord of the Pure Eyes, who was tempering his will on the black-patterned stone pillar, did not hesitate and immediately waited at the edge.

As expected, he didn't have to wait long before the Lord of Eternity arrived at the Black Patterned Stone Pillar space.

"They are the Lord of the Pure Eyes and the Lord of Eternity..."

"So that's why the Lord of the Pure Eyes has been staying there all this time. He's blocking the path of the Lord of Eternity. But is he a match for the Lord of Eternity?"

"It is said that the Pillars of Eternity have defeated many powerful cosmic lords, and even the supposedly invincible Intuo has died at their hands."

"Although the Lord of Eternity is strong, the Lord of the Pure Eye should not be underestimated. The latter is not only skilled in soul attacks, but his will has also reached the level of the strongest in the universe."

The many onlookers, all lords of the universe, began to discuss amongst themselves, secretly observing whether the Lord of Eternity had any means to deal with the Lord of the Pure Eye's soul attack.

……

"Oh, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Lu Yunhe said leisurely, "Strength is my greatest source of confidence. Among the Lords of the Universe, there is none I fear."

"Eternity, for the glory of the God-Eye Clan, I will defeat you here."

The Lord of the Pure Eyes rang out in a cold voice, and then approached Lu Yunhe step by step, each step covering hundreds of thousands of kilometers, frantically closing the distance between the two.

"beat?"

Lu Yunhe chuckled and said, "Lord of the Pure Eyes, if I defeat you here, it would be as if you have brought another shame upon the Divine Eye Clan."

"But if I am defeated by you, it will prove that the words of your First True Lord of the Divine Eye Clan are bullshit, and your Divine Eye Clan will be even more disgraced."

Upon hearing Lu Yunhe's words, the surrounding Universe Lords were stunned, and even the Lord of the Pure Eyes, who was advancing, couldn't help but pause.

"It seems so. No matter what the Lord of the Pure Eye does, it is the Divine Eye Clan who will ultimately lose face." The surrounding Universe Lords discussed, and if they were not afraid of the strength of the Divine Eye Clan, they would probably have already burst into laughter.

"No matter what, in eternity, you will die here."

The Lord of the Pure Eyes' voice grew even colder. With the will of the strongest being in the universe, he would not be disturbed by a few words.

Once the distance between them reached a certain level, the Lord of the Pure Eyes suddenly stopped.

Suddenly, the one-eyed phantom behind him swelled up dramatically, and an ancient mirror emerged from his body, merging into the one-eyed phantom.

Instantly, the one-eyed phantom behind him solidified, as if a giant one-eyed figure was watching Lu Yunhe from afar, and an invisible attack directly struck his opponent.

"When you die, everything will end." The Lord of the Pure Eyes waved his hand indifferently.

call out!

A white light swiftly pierced the air and flew towards Lu Yunhe. In flight, it transformed into a dazzling white beast, somewhat resembling a white dragon, but with two heads.

This strange weapon, resembling a two-headed white dragon, streaked across the sky with a low roar, and instantly arrived in front of Lu Yunhe. The two dragon heads snapped shut, as if scissors were about to cut the enemy to death.

"Once you fall under my illusion, no matter how strong you are, you will be powerless to resist. At that time, it will only take a few attacks to annihilate your divine body," the Lord of the Pure Eyes said coldly.

This is why many cosmic lords are unwilling to fight him. When facing a master of the soul, if one cannot withstand the opponent's soul attack, then there is basically no power to resist.

It is difficult for beings of the same level to kill each other in a normal battle, not when one side does not resist.

Without activating the mutual cancellation of attacks, and without activating the divine body and armor, one simply cannot withstand a few attacks of the same level.

"Soul attack!"

Lu Yunhe smiled, a hint of pity in his eyes. If it were any other type of fifth-tier universe master facing him, they might be able to put up a fight, but a universe master proficient in soul attacks…

The soul and mindset of an Earthling, the will of the strongest being in the universe, and the protection of the Eternal Ark—what can break through a soul attack of a universe master level?

Not to mention that Lu Yunhe killed Yin Tuo and obtained a top-tier soul defense treasure.

"break!"

Lu Yunhe swung a pure white sword formed from white wings from a distance.

In an instant, the power of wind, thunder, and light surged, and an incomparably sharp sword aura ripped through space and time, directly striking the junction of the two heads of the two-headed dragon, splitting it in two.

Tear!

The two-headed dragon let out a painful cry, and then the beast formed by the secret technique of activating the treasure collapsed, revealing the treasure's appearance: a seemingly ordinary white ruler.

boom!

The remaining sword energy struck the white ruler and then shot directly into the void beside it.

"how is this possible?"

The Lord of the Pure Eyes, who had just been indifferent, was now terrified.

"What do you mean, impossible!"

After breaking through the opponent's soul technique in one move, Lu Yunhe pressed forward, wielding his pure white sword and charging directly in front of the opponent.

"not good!"

When a mage is brought close by a warrior, the consequences are disastrous. The Lord of the Pure Eyes disregards everything else and unleashes his strongest technique, 'Purification of Reincarnation', once again.

Unfortunately, this level of soul attack was completely useless against Lu Yunhe, and couldn't even interfere with him.

"Now, does your Divine Eye Clan still have any honor?" Lu Yunhe slashed at the Lord of the Pure Eye with his sword, the top-tier fifth-order attack instantly sending the latter flying.

The Lord of the Pure Eyes crashed heavily into a rock, punching a hole right through it.

At the same time, a spacetime suppression force containing the power of wind, thunder, and light enveloped the two of them, locking down the battlefield.

"The Eternal Sword - Wind Lord!"

The Eternal Kingdom was imbued into the sword, and a powerful, penetrating wind-like wound swept directly towards the Lord of the Pure Eye.

"Does the Eternal Lord have no weaknesses at all?"

Faced with the incoming attack, the Lord of the Pure Eyes could no longer maintain his composure. He abandoned his soul attack and quickly raised his weapon to unleash a secret attack.

For most people, talent and energy are limited. Those who attack through the path of the soul will naturally be much weaker in attacking through the path of the material.

For example, the Lord of the Pure Eyes has reached the fifth level in the art of soul magic, but in terms of physical attacks, he can only barely reach the fourth level.

The fourth-tier level is strong enough for other universe lords, but it is far from enough in front of the top fifth-tier level, and they have no ability to resist.
