Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

call out!

Lu Yunhe landed slowly and stood next to the head of the Hongyu household, looking at the 20,000 slaves in front of him.

"Mr. Lu, I have delivered these slaves from outside the city as you requested." Manager Hongyu looked at Lu Yunhe curiously: "May I ask, what do you need these slaves for, sir?"

"This shouldn't be something the slave trading guild needs to know!" Lu Yunhe said calmly. "Just hand over the slaves!"

"it is good!"

Seeing that Lu Yunhe didn't want to talk, Supervisor Hongyu didn't press him and directly began handing over the 20,000 slaves in front of him. Because of the large number, the slave transfer and recognition process would take a little longer.

With the help of several staff members, a metal object was quickly brought to Lu Yunhe: "Sir, everything is done. The control chip terminals for a total of 20,000 slaves are all inside. You can directly use the intelligent computer to operate it."

Slave biochips are low-cost control chips invented by humans by borrowing technology from the machine race. Once a slave is integrated into the chip, they are completely controlled, possessing all their past memories while remaining completely loyal to their master.

Unless one becomes a "domain lord," it is almost impossible to escape the control of the chip.

After the slaves were fully delivered, Lu Yunhe also transferred the remaining balance to the other party's Galaxy account.

Having completed a transaction worth a full 20 billion Black Dragon Coins, even Hong Yu, a cosmic-level powerhouse, couldn't help but smile.

Although he is wealthy, he has accumulated that wealth bit by bit over time; it doesn't just fall from the sky once you become a powerful figure. Moreover, while powerful individuals may be wealthy, they have even more reasons to spend money.

"goodbye!"

After the transaction was completed, Lu Yunhe immediately issued an order to leave, and the latter boarded the spaceship with a smile on his face and left the valley.

At this moment, the 20,000 slaves looked nervously at their new master. Buying 20,000 slaves at once was most likely not for any good purpose.

Looking at the nervous slaves before him, Lu Yunhe had no reason to explain and simply commanded, "No one is allowed to resist!"

"Wood Release: Descent of the Flower Tree World!"

Suddenly, trees appeared around the slaves, and they were then subdued. Pollen was sprayed out to knock them unconscious. Although the slaves were terrified, they were completely unable to resist under the influence of the slave chip and could only watch helplessly as they lost consciousness.

Then, a portal appeared, sending all the unconscious slaves into the divine tree's subsidiary space, including the bandit Liu Tie.

Chapter 51 Light and Shadow

"Come out!"

After sending all the slaves into the auxiliary space, Lu Yunhe slowly looked up at the sky, where a familiar, muscular figure swiftly descended.

"Mr. Lu!"

Manager Hongyu approached Lu Yunhe slowly with a smile on his face, his smiling eyes hiding endless greed.

The silk and brocade were moving. While Lu Yunhe went to buy supplies, Hongyu had already found out that the other party was traveling on a C-class Black Dragon Mountain, a spaceship that could not carry 20,000 slaves.

Meanwhile, the goods that Lu Yunhe resold in the general store were not of high value, indicating that he did not have a powerful backer or was not a nobleman's son. Otherwise, he would not have been reselling such trash metal as Xuan Tie Jing.

As a local strongman on Qiulong Star, Hongyu has informants throughout Qiulong City, not to mention the already crowded and noisy general market.

Therefore, there can only be one explanation: Lu Yunhe most likely obtained the legacy of some powerful figure. If that were all, Hongyu, being a cosmic-level being, wouldn't have resorted to murder and robbery; he was quite wealthy himself. However, he was very curious about how Lu Yunhe planned to deal with these 20,000 slaves.

However, upon seeing the slaves swallowed by the spatial gate, Hongyu was instantly tempted. Only the renowned World Ring (Lu Yunhe was wearing a spatial ring) could preserve life.

Even the smallest world ring is worth more than the entire slave merchant guild he belongs to. On the entire planet of Qiulong, it's highly likely that only that domain lord possesses one.

Moreover, judging from Lu Yunhe's appearance, it's impossible that he only obtained one world ring; there must be other extremely precious treasures inside.

“A lucky one who inherited the legacy of the strong, but now it’s my turn to be lucky.”

The thought of the potential assets made Hongyu tremble slightly as he slowly approached the other man: "Mr. Lu, you must have acquired the assets of a powerful domain lord. But judging from your appearance, you'll likely have difficulty disposing of those precious treasures. I can cooperate with you, and we can work together..."

Hongyu spoke with a smile, trying to distract Lu Yunhe, while his approach speed showed no sign of slowing down.

When he approached the attack range of a cosmic-level powerhouse, Hongyu, who was still talking about cooperation, suddenly attacked. He didn't care about the powerhouse's galactic account password, secret techniques, etc. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind: to kill Lu Yunhe and obtain the World Ring.

Having endured countless hardships to reach the cosmic level, Hongyu, even when blinded by the treasure before him, was still able to make the right judgment: to kill Lu Yunhe immediately!

"Die!"

At this moment, the distance between Lu Yunhe and Hong Yu was less than 5 kilometers. For a cosmic-level powerhouse, this distance could be traversed in less than a second. Moreover, at this distance, a mere third-tier stellar being would not have enough time to escape or launch a counterattack.

In an instant, Hongyu grasped a top-grade, third-tier fire-attribute Force weapon—the Dragonfire Sword. He poured all his third-tier cosmic-level power into the weapon, determined to kill with a single blow.

"I've been waiting for you!"

Faced with Hongyu's attack, Lu Yunhe's heart stirred, and a stream of light quickly swept across his body, revealing his two-meter-tall Ultraman form. At the same time, golden blue light shone, and his entire body was dyed blue. Meanwhile, the third-tier mid-grade Origin Force weapon, the Arc Blade Disc, floated beside him.

"Special armor and curved blade disc!"

He didn't recognize the armor, but he did recognize the Arc Blade Pan Hongyu. However, it was just a lowly third-tier Stellar weapon, and even if it had a powerful weapon, it wouldn't be effective.

There is a whole level difference between stellar level three and cosmic level three, and the gap cannot be bridged by a single weapon.

"Transform into resources for my path to becoming a Domain Lord!"

In an instant, Hongyu, wielding the Dragonfire Sword, charged towards Lu Yunhe, the red sword in his hand radiating a fiery aura like a fire dragon.

"The third level of the curved blade disc!"

Similar to the Sky Shuttle, the Arc Blade Disc also has three levels. To unleash the third level, one needs to exert 30 units of force, requiring cosmic-level basic strength and domain.

However, although Lu Yunhe's cultivation level had not reached the cosmic level, he directly and forcibly used the third level of the Arc Blade Disc by relying on his higher standard of power exertion techniques and his super strong domain.

"cut!"

The fully activated arc blade disc abandoned all defense and speed, retaining only its most powerful attack. In an instant, numerous arc blades combined to form a large blade, meeting Hongyu's attack head-on.

"what?"

Upon seeing the third form of the Force weapon, Hongyu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. As a cosmic-level powerhouse, he naturally understood what the third level of a third-tier weapon meant. A mid-grade third-tier arc blade disc required exertion, and all three conditions—domain level and cosmic level—had to be met.

The other party is definitely at the stellar level, so the only unusual thing is that strange outfit.

"It allows a stellar-level weapon to fully unleash the power of a third-tier weapon!"

Hongyu's eyes instantly burned with fervor. It was somewhat embarrassing to admit, but as a cosmic-level powerhouse, he could only use a third-tier top-grade weapon.

For low-tier weapons, the low, medium, high, and extreme grades do not represent power, but rather usage standards. Higher requirements mean lower grades and cheaper prices, while lower requirements mean higher grades and more expensive prices.

The third level of a Tier 3 top-grade weapon doesn't even require complete mastery of the domain; as long as the cultivation level meets the standard, it's sufficient.

"Fire Dragon Domain!"

Faced with the fully activated arc blade disc, Hongyu dared not be careless. At the same time, he activated the third level of the Force weapon in his hand. Relying on the special nature of the weapon and his cosmic-level cultivation, he barely managed to simulate a part of the domain's effect.

boom!

The weapon in Hongyu's hand transformed into a blazing fire dragon, directly engulfing the curved blade disc that had transformed into a large sword, and also engulfing Lu Yunhe behind it.

"Die!"

Hongyu was somewhat delighted, but then he was horrified to find that Lu Yunhe's figure had appeared on his left and behind him at the same time.

"It's you that damn it!"

The three figures spoke at the same time and launched an attack on Hongyu, who was surrounded.

Locked in by the three fully activated arc blades, Hongyu, a cosmic-level being, felt a chill run through his body: "Impossible! The other two must just be illusions. The one in front of me is the real one!"

However, when the other two curved blades struck his Force Suit, Hongyu suddenly realized that all three attacks were actually physical objects.

"What ability is this?"

Hongyu stared in disbelief at the two curved blades piercing his body, his Force Suit offering absolutely no protection.

Then the figure that had been swallowed by the fire dragon leaped out, a flash of light slicing through the fire dragon and severing its head.

After Hongyu died, the two figures slowly disappeared, leaving Lu Yunhe holding the curved blade.

Chapter 52 Procurement and Cultivation

"So weak!"

Looking at Hongyu, who lay dead with his eyes wide open, Lu Yunhe couldn't help but shake his head: "I hadn't even used my strength before you collapsed!"

The battle was decided in a single move. It appeared to be a battle between a Stellar Tier 3 and a Cosmic Tier 3, but in reality, the combination of ten times the genetic level, the Radiant Type, the Sky Type, and the Divine Tree Jinchuriki mode directly brought Ultraman's clone's basic power to the Stellar Tier 8.

The difference in basic power between an eighth-order stellar astronomical ...

Not to mention, because he was not far from the Dragon Star, Lu Yunhe directly used the combination of the laws of time and light. Under the power of the two laws, Hongyu, a third-level universe-level being, could not even withstand a single move and was instantly killed.

"The Law of Time truly lives up to its reputation as a superior fundamental law. If I were to use only the Law of Light, it might take a full-force attack to kill Hongyu. But with the assistance of the Law of Time, I can easily defeat him with a single move!"

While summarizing his experience, Lu Yunhe began collecting the bodies: "But this Hongyu is really too weak. He's already at the third level of the universe level, and he doesn't even have a domain."

With a special life form a hundred times stronger than the average and two clones of the most powerful races in the universe on his side, Lu Yunhe's gaze was now fixed on the scale of the entire universe.

However, for most life forms, a domain is actually standard equipment for domain lords. A cosmic-level being who can comprehend a domain would be considered a minor genius in a place like Black Dragon Mountain.

After all, even the Golden Horned Beast needs to reach the cosmic level to directly possess a domain.

Ultraman's clones are quite special, only able to awaken at the planetary level, while at the stellar level they can step into the threshold of the fundamental laws of light.

Like the Divine Tree clone, which is also from a top-tier race in the universe, it only comprehended the Wood Domain while possessing Lu Yunhe's consciousness. As for the Wood Law, it will probably have to wait until the universe level.

As for the Golden Dragon's clone, it is a special life form and is considered an exception.

"Touch the corpse, touch the corpse!"

After a moment's thought, Lu Yunhe quickly began looting Hong Yu's body, a cosmic-level powerhouse, taking his weapons, Force suit, and storage ring.

Soon, a naked, headless corpse was thrown to the ground, and then a flame descended from the sky, burning away all traces.

Lu Yunhe, whose assets have increased dramatically again, used Ultraman's abilities to transform his human form into Hong and re-enter Qiulong Star.

Treasure Pavilion!

The largest commodity trading center on Qiulong Star, backed by a powerful figure from Black Dragon Mountain, offers slightly lower prices than shops like Qibao Shop and Yizhen Hall outside, but boasts an excellent reputation and will never reveal any information about its traders.

"A Tier 3 top-grade Force weapon—the Dragonfire Sword, in perfect condition. Our establishment can offer 170 billion Black Dragon Coins. What do you think, sir?"

The appraiser from the Treasure Pavilion shone a special instrument on the Dragonfire Sword, and a whole host of information immediately appeared.

"It's so dark!"

Upon hearing the old man's offer, Lu Yunhe shook his head slightly. According to the information collected by Delacion, Hongyu's Tier 3 top-grade weapon was worth at least 200 billion Black Dragon Coins, but the buyback price was only 170 billion.
