Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 149

Although the Time-Space Nightmare Beast's talent level wasn't high, it still possessed a rare time-space talent. Therefore, as soon as Raymondo broke through to the Immortal realm, he reached the Marquis level.

After becoming an immortal marquis, Raymondo also chose to train in the outer battlefield.

With his immortality as a Marquis, he was virtually invincible in the Suspended Mountain area, since there were no Kings in this region, so no one could threaten his life.

Drip!

Just as Raymondo was enjoying the scenery, a communication message startled him awake. He said angrily, "That bastard is so noisy!"

As royalty among the demon race, they were born to be the most powerful of all demons.

"Lord Raymondo!" Torudon said respectfully over the communication system.

As vassals of the demon race, the Qiushi clan is naturally of the highest rank when facing the demon race, but is two ranks lower when facing the royal family of the demon race.

"Oh, so it's the Twins of the Qi Shi Clan!" Looking at the names on the communicator, Raymondo slumped his head, his whole body becoming languid again.

"What, you two brothers are finally willing to join me?"

When Raymondo first arrived at the outer battlefield, he heard about the reputation of the Twins of the Qi Shi Clan, so he specially recruited them once.

After all, he had only recently become a Marquis and Immortal, and he was short of subordinates, so he recruited a few thugs.

Unfortunately, the Torudon brothers were full of pride at the time and directly refused even when faced with royalty among the demon race.

Raymondo, having spent years among his tribe and grown accustomed to being treated with deference, was not angry at being rejected. Instead, he became interested and invited them several times.

In Raimondo's view, this behavior seemed to have a sense of respect and courtesy towards the virtuous.

"My lord, my brother Torusi has been murdered," Torusto said slowly.

"I see!"

Upon hearing Torusi's words, Ramondo instantly understood the whole story. It turned out that his brother had been killed, and he wanted Ramondo's help to avenge him.

"So you came to me to avenge your brother?"

Raymondo said lazily, having instantly lost interest in the two brothers after hearing the news of Torusi's death.

He was interested in the twins of the Qi Shi Clan, not an ordinary Immortal Military Lord. If he were to issue a statement, a bunch of Immortal Military Lords would be vying to be his subordinates; he wouldn't need another one.

"As long as you are willing to help me avenge this, I, Torutong, swear that I am willing to go through fire and water for you, even unto death," Torutong said hastily.

At this point, Toruton felt a pang of sadness. Back then, he and his brother were so full of vigor that they didn't even bother to be recruited by the royal family of the demon race. But now they were begging to become the other party's subordinates. The emotions they felt were indescribable.

"Oh……"

Raymondo was too lazy to answer. Did this little monster from the Qi Shi Clan think he was a henchman? He was the royal Time-Space Nightmare Beast of the demon race. How could he make a move so easily?

Upon hearing Raymondo's response, Torudon's heart sank. He gritted his teeth and said, "Great Lord Raymondo, your reputation is awe-inspiring throughout the entire extraterritorial battlefield."

“The entire demon race knows that my brother and I will eventually become your subordinates, but now that one of your prospective subordinates has been easily killed, it may be detrimental to your reputation.”

“You’re right. The reputation of the Time-Space Nightmare Beast is not to be trifled with. How dare someone kill one of my chosen subordinates?”

Raymondo's massive body slowly rose from the ground, his two heads gleaming with a cold light.

"If anyone's going to kill, it'll have to be me." Raymondo thought to himself with a cold laugh.

"You ant-like thing dare to use me? After I avenge your brother, I will send you two brothers to hell together."

Although Raymondo was arrogant, his wisdom was no less than that of the humans, and he saw through Torudon's provocation at a glance.

However, the reason why the method of provocation works every time is because it can really hit a certain spot in the other person's heart.

"But the battlefield outside the region is so vast, can you find the murderer who killed Torusi?"

Finding someone in a battlefield outside the territory is harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

“My brother and I each left a trace of immortal divine power in each other’s storage rings. I can still feel the aura of the spiritual imprint in the tokens. They are still inside the Hanging Mountain. The murderer has not left this place.”

Toru quickly replied, "I can confirm that the other party is not a Marquis Immortal, but merely an Immortal Military Lord. With your power, you could easily crush them with a flick of your finger."

“The cunning Qioshi tribe!” Raymondo sneered.

As for whether Torudon would lie to him? Raymondo didn't care, since there was no such thing as an immortal king in the vicinity of the entire Suspended Mountain.

Even if the opponent is a Marquis or an Immortal, he is not afraid; it just means that a fight will not break out.

"These are my coordinates. Come over here first!" Raymondo sent over his coordinates.

After waiting for a while and not hearing a response from Torudon, Raymondo couldn't help but sneer: "You bastard, you don't actually want the great Time-Space Nightmare Beast to come looking for you, do you?!"

"No, no... My men are coming right away."

Hearing Raymondo's sneer, Toruton instantly snapped back to reality; he really was planning to wait at the place where his brother had died.

After all, if he went to find Raymondo, who knows where the murderer might have gone by the time that would have been spent going back and forth.

If the enemy chooses to return to their base and dispose of all the items, then they will truly be unable to find the enemy.

Unfortunately, one cannot fight against another; Torrudon could not command the immortals who had been granted titles, so he had no choice but to fly to the main continent of the Floating Mountain.

……

"Lord Raimondo!"

Torrudon flew for several months before arriving at Raymondo's location. Looking at the massive, mountain-like figure, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.

"Now that you're here, can you still sense the killer's location?" Raymondo asked in a low voice.

“The other party is still at Suspended Mountain and hasn’t left!” Torudon said.

"it is good!"

Raymondo then took out a beast-shaped puppet as tall as a person, and the huge body went directly into a world ring in the puppet's hand.

Because the demon race is too large, they can only travel on spaceships by entering the World Ring and then controlling puppets.

Otherwise, given the size of the demon race, which is often several kilometers in size, it would be difficult to have a spaceship to match them.

The world rings that Raymondo chose were all made of relatively fragile materials, which could be easily shattered with just a little burst of power.

"Your small bodies, like those of the Qiushi clan, actually have a great advantage when traveling in spaceships."

Raymondo, controlling the puppet, stepped into the spaceship piloted by Torudon.

"I'd rather not have this advantage!"

Hearing Raymondo's words, Torudon thought to himself, after all, when breaking through to the Immortal God realm, the larger the body size, the greater the advantage.

Compared to that, what advantage is the ability to easily travel in a spaceship?

Then, Torrudon commanded the spaceship, following the aura of the Immortal Divine Power Mark, to fly towards Lu Yunhe's location.

……

"Drasion, let's stop on the continent ahead!" Lu Yunhe said.

"Yes!"

The spaceship then landed on a continent. This time, Lu Yunhe did not send his soldiers out, but flew into the void alone.

"I have fully comprehended the fundamental laws of wood!" A smile appeared on Lu Yunhe's lips.

Chapter 221 The Divine Tree Becomes Immortal

"I never imagined that the first fundamental law I would fully comprehend would be the fundamental law of wood!"

A smile appeared on Lu Yunhe's lips. After fully comprehending a fundamental law, although he did not immediately become immortal, he also gained an indescribable aura.

To fully comprehend a lower-level fundamental law, even if it is only equivalent to the tenth level of the Bridge to Heaven, means that one has reached the Great Perfection realm in this system of laws, a realm belonging to immortal gods.

It is also the most crucial step from human to god. Even if someone can fight against a universe venerable at the realm lord level, they will never be able to break through to immortal godhood without taking this step.

After comprehending the fundamental laws of wood to perfection, Lu Yunhe discovered that his soul's origin had suddenly risen to a new level, and his previously limit-reached evolutionary degree had also directly increased by one level.

Clearly, Lu Yunhe at this point still has a lot of room for improvement in his potential.

At the same time, Lu Yunhe's Origin Pearl was also stained with a layer of green, but it showed no sign of turning into human form.

"As expected, merely comprehending a lower-level fundamental law is not enough for me to directly break through to immortality!"

Although Lu Yunhe's genetic level is not as good as that of his clone who is a special life form, it is not bad either. Moreover, he has been using the Origin Crystal to strengthen the World Master World, making the Origin Pearl extremely hard.

After all, Lu Yunhe's accumulation at the Realm Lord level is not yet complete. If he breaks through easily, it will probably take countless years for him to reach the King level with 100,000 times the strength of a Realm Lord in his basic realm.

However, although Lu Yunhe's human body cannot break through, one of his clones has a very good chance, namely the Divine Tree clone.

Lu Yunhe and his various clones spent the first half of the year constantly comprehending the fundamental laws of wood, all for the sake of creating the Divine Tree clones.

"A clone of the divine tree!"

Lu Yunhe focused his consciousness on the divine tree clone. After fully comprehending the Law of Wood, an invisible connection linked the divine tree clone with the origin of wood in the origin of the universe.

Subsequently, the essence of wood crossed the origin of the universe and descended upon the primordial bead of the divine tree's avatar, making the bead the primordial bead of wood.

However, although the aura of the origin was constantly transforming the Origin Pearl, it could not break through the Origin Pearl's defenses and allow the Origin Land of the Universe to completely descend into the divine kingdom inside the Origin.

The fact that the Origin Pearl cannot be broken means that the origin of the universe cannot fuse the soul and body of the Divine Tree's avatar to give birth to immortal divine power.

"A single lower-level fundamental law is not enough!"

Seeing this, Lu Yunhe shook his head slightly, and instantly poured his understanding of the fundamental laws of space into the Origin Pearl.

During the past hundred years in the extraterritorial battlefield, although Lu Yunhe devoted most of his attention to the fundamental law of wood, he did not neglect his understanding of the fundamental law of spacetime. His overall law level reached the seventeenth level of the Bridge to Heaven, which is equivalent to the peak of the Marquis title.

On the Divine Tree's avatar, the perfected wood energy constantly connected with the origin of the universe, striving to break through the avatar.

Just then, the power of the fundamental laws of space fell upon the aura of wood. In an instant, with the help of the power of the fundamental laws of the Great Perfection, the aura of wood borrowed a trace of the power of the superior spatial origin.

With the blessing of the Origin Land of Space, the power of the Origin Aura increased dramatically, and the originally indestructible Origin Pearl began to crack.

Click click click...

The Origin Pearl cracked little by little, yet the fragments remained intertwined, refusing to shatter completely, as if it were the last stubbornness of a pinnacle race in the universe.

"Although it's a bit embarrassing to let a top race in the universe break through in this way, Divine Tree Avatar, you'd better not resist."

Lu Yunhe sighed. The Divine Tree Avatar had only recently reached the peak of the Realm Lord level and hadn't accumulated much power.

Fortunately, breakthroughs in the Devouring Stars Realm are basically a matter of divine intervention, so the impact isn't too significant. Once the level of laws is reached, the rest can be left to the heavens.

"Divine Body Enhancement!"
