Devouring the Starry Sky: You will become stronger through practice

In the imperial capital, on the top floor of a towering building.

Two tall figures sat opposite each other. One of them, a man in a white robe, was leaning against the railing. He held a silver wine jug in his right hand, which he hung out. He poured the wine into his mouth and laughed wildly, "Good wine, good wine! Brother Chu Luo, the wine you brew is still so good!"

The other man was tall and wore bronze armor even in the city. His eyes were as sharp as lightning and hurt people's eyes.

"This wine has a strong aftereffect, just drink a little, but don't get drunk again."

The tall man Chu Luo couldn't help but twitch his face slightly. The thing he regretted most was making friends with this guy. What he regretted even more was letting this drunkard know that he had excellent winemaking skills. A lot of the fine wine he brewed over the years was ruined by him.

"I'm drunk, so I'm drunk."

The white-robed man chuckled, "This wine can make Chaos Lords like me fall into a deep sleep. Even if they sleep for hundreds or thousands of epochs, what does it matter?"

Chu Luo shook his head helplessly and smiled: "The newly promoted Marquis Chu Yu has already found a guest official."

His gaze fell in one direction of the city. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate layers of spatial barriers and saw Chu Yu's mansion. "This newly promoted Marquis Chu Yu seems to be suppressed by you in every way, but don't forget that he is also an infinite divine body, and he was granted the title of first-class marquis as soon as he broke through. He has the strength of the peak of the Chaos Realm."

"If he encounters something else later, it is not impossible for him to catch up with you."

The Chaos Lord with infinite divine body is considered a top genius in the Origin Continent. Even in the ancient country of Yanfeng where geniuses are everywhere, he can be named a first-class marquis. That is why Di Chuyu is confident that he can compete with Di Chuxiong.

The tall man who spoke earlier was named Di Chuluo.

He is also a first-class marquis of the ancient country of Yanfeng, but his talent is slightly worse. Compared with the infinite divine bodies of Di Chuyu and Di Chuxiong, his ordinary divine body is much inferior.

It’s just that he can reach the peak level of Chaos Lord with an ordinary divine body and can drink and chat with Emperor Chuxiong.

This Di Chuluo is obviously not an easy person to deal with.

"One step slow, every step slow. He is already far behind me. Even if he has some luck, he can only barely catch up with me. At the same level, I am invincible!"

A strong sense of confidence flashed in the eyes of the white-robed man Di Chuxiong!

This confidence comes from his strength. Over the years, he has been collecting resources through the intelligence department of the Yanfeng Ancient Country, sending strong people to explore possible opportunities outside, and constantly completing the tasks issued by the Yanfeng Ancient Country to obtain merits in exchange for cultivation resources and inheritance.

But even with the assistance of several guest officials around him, he was only able to break through to the transcendent level of Chaos Lord several decades ago.

Emperor Chuyu had just broken through, and had even just found his first guest official. It was impossible for him to compete with him for the position of Ancient Emperor. Although there were many opportunities in this world, there were very few that could truly allow a Chaos Lord to transform in a short period of time.

"Yes, the years of training are endless, but progress is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

Di Chuluo sighed and said, "If it weren't for the prince of the Di Chu lineage, he would be the only one who became a first-class marquis. I'm afraid he would be like me, competing for resources with other people of the same clan, and it would be difficult to improve."

"However, I heard that his guest official is from the Yu State area, so he might be quite powerful."

Di Chuxiong narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "He is just a newly promoted Chaos Lord. At best, he is at the peak of Chaos Lord level. There is no need to take him seriously. He is not our target right now."

Di Chuluo nodded.

There are thirteen branches of the Yanfeng Empire, and each branch has its own strong people that it can rely on.

Although the lineage of Emperor Chuxiong currently holds the upper hand and it is somewhat difficult to suppress the lineage of Emperor Chu, the ancient country of Yanfeng still obeys the orders of the ancestor of Yanfeng. Even if the thirteen branches are of one mind, if the ancestor of Yanfeng opposes, it will ultimately end in vain.

"When will Lord Yuanxiu arrive?"

Di Chuxiong seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked Di Chuluo, "You said before that Palace Master Yuan Xiu would come to the imperial capital."

Di Chuluo waved his hand and said, "Although Senior Brother Yuanxiu has said that he will come to visit the Ancient Emperor in a while, no one knows when he will arrive. You should wait patiently. When Senior Brother arrives, I will notify you as soon as possible."

In the entire ancient country of Yanfeng, even including the royal Chaos Lords, the disciples under the ancient emperor, the disciples of the ancestor and the ancestors, as well as a type of Chaos Lord-level guest and some idle Chaos Lords, there are only less than fifty who have truly reached the state of Chaos Transcendence.

The status of each one of them is comparable to that of an existence that has just entered the level of a God King.

It’s just like in the original universe, those heaven-defying cosmic overlords, who possessed strength comparable to the Lord of the Universe, were called top cosmic overlords.

Each Chaos Lord who is a transcendent being has his own unique skills. Even when facing a God King, they are not at all quick. It only takes a thought for them to decide whether to fight or escape.

People like Luo Shen, who successfully cultivated the seventh level of the smelting method, are actually at this level.

The Palace Master Yuan Xiu mentioned earlier is actually such a person. He has cultivated a prison called "Dark Palace" in his own divine body. With a thought, he can imprison the endless and vast world around him into the prison in his body!
His enemies were fighting against himself in his prison.

The advantage is mine!

Not to mention an ordinary Chaos Lord, even an extremely powerful God King, once accidentally imprisoned by it and entered into that dark palace, would need time and effort to leave.

It is precisely with this unique skill that he has become a super powerful being beyond the level of Chaos Lord.

Although Di Chuxiong is also a powerful being beyond the level of the Lord of Chaos, he also respects Palace Master Yuan Xiu very much. As a junior student, he hopes to learn a few moves from Palace Master Yuan Xiu, especially the special moves of the 'Dark Palace'.

However, the Lord of Yuanxiu Mansion has always been elusive. It is not easy to even meet him, let alone learn from him.

Fortunately, Di Chuluo and the Lord of Yuanxiu Palace were disciples of the same master. Although his strength was not as good as that of his senior brother, he had royal status and was at the peak level of Chaos Overlord, so naturally he could still obtain information about the other party.

This led to today's conversation.

Inside the mansion of Marquis Chu Yu.

As a newly-promoted first-class marquisate, it naturally had a vast cave residence in the imperial capital, so that many ethnic groups related to Emperor Chuyu, the personal guards and a large number of servants could all move into the imperial capital.

When one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit. It's just like that!

"My Lord, why do you want to let a Chaos Lord whose background you don't know be your first guest official? My father is also a Chaos Lord at the peak level, and his strength is not bad. Wouldn't it be better to have him help you?"

In the study, Di Chuyu was working at his desk with a pen in his hand. Beside him stood a graceful young woman, who was whispering something.

"I have followed you for so many years, so my clan is not worthy of your trust?"

As a first-class marquis who is eligible to compete for the throne of Ancient Emperor in the future, one can imagine how powerful Di Chuyu is in the imperial capital. Although the thirteen branches within the royal family are not united in appearance but divided in spirit, there are still many Chaos Overlord-level strongmen who want to join Di Chuyu.

The father of this elegant young woman, who is also the mayor of Fengye City in the Yanfeng Ancient Country, is planning to form a father-in-law-son-in-law alliance. Firstly, he is the father-in-law of Di Chuyu, so they have a close relationship. Moreover, he is powerful enough, at the peak of Chaos Lord, and is not too weak among the many Chaos Lords in the Yanfeng Ancient Country.

Secondly, as a first-class marquis, Di Chuyu can decide on the issuance of execution missions.

Even if only a portion of the resources were allocated, it would be able to allow this 'poor' father-in-law to upgrade his weapons and perhaps give his strength, which had already reached a bottleneck, a chance to make further progress.

But I never expected it.

Since returning to the imperial capital, Di Chuyu has always refused to see visitors, not even his father-in-law. It was thought that Di Chuyu intended to take advantage of his breakthrough to study the laws in depth and didn't care about the guest officials.

As a result, he turned around and chose a Great Sage of the Abyss whose background was unknown, which made the Lord of Fengye City very angry.

However, no matter how good the relationship between City Lord Fengye and Di Chuyu was, they were still subjects after all. He did not dare to vent his anger on Di Chuyu, and could only let his favored daughter to find out what the other party was thinking.

"Although your father has some strength, his talent has reached its limit. It will be extremely difficult for him to make further progress."

Di Chuyu still has some love for his wife who has been with him all the way. He said in a gentle tone: "The Great Sage of the Abyss is young, talented, and most importantly, he has no master, but he has been able to cultivate to this level in such a short time. His potential in the future is limitless!"

"I chose him after careful selection."

"As for your father, if he has any objections, you can ask him to come to me."

The elegant young woman wanted to say something, but after seeing Di Chuyu's cold gaze, she suddenly remembered that this person was no longer the fake prince, but a genuine marquis.

He could only respond helplessly and turned to leave the study.

Looking at the elegant young woman leaving, Di Chuyu raised his head slightly, looked at her departing back, and sighed.

Although he became a first-class marquis and the leader of the Di Chu lineage, many things were beyond his control. Especially now that the Di Chu lineage was weak and some evil spirits would jump out to show off their presence, Di Chuyu had to think again and again before making a decision.

Just like what the elegant young woman said before, if it were in the past, he would have just kicked her out.

Fengye City Lord, who is just at the peak level of Chaos Overlord, is nothing to his Di Chu lineage. Although he dare not abandon him casually, he does not need to care about the other party's thoughts at all.

But it's different now.

The existence of a Fengye City Lord is quite important.

The more Chaos Lords he has to support him, the higher his chances of success will be. After all, the number of strong people in the entire Yanfeng Ancient Country is basically constant. The increase in his own strength means the weakening of Emperor Chuxiong's strength.

"What a pity. The Abyss is too vigilant. If I could convince him to help me, there might be a glimmer of hope."

Thinking of Luo Shen's performance that day, Di Chuyu couldn't help but shook his head and said, "It seems that I am still a little impatient, but I still have to prepare a second filing in case the Abyss does not agree in the end."

"Well, strike while the iron is hot. Let's take him to the inheritance palace first to let him feel it and see if we can convince him."

After saying that, Di Chuyu stood up, flicked his sleeves, and appeared at the door of the study.

He said to the person beside him: "Come here, prepare the flying boat!"

At the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, a seemingly ordinary flying boat took off into the sky. Led by a group of personal guards, Di Chuyu left the Marquis' Mansion and headed for the cave where Luo Shen was.

At this moment, Luo Shen was still in his own cave, entering the space for the ladder to heaven, and moving forward silently.

Although the life energy surging in Luo Shen's body became more and more surging as he climbed the ladder to heaven, the eighth level of smelting was much more important and difficult than the seventh level, and the increase in resources required was terrifying!
Even though he practiced almost uninterruptedly during this period, Luo Shen still failed to make any breakthroughs.

"Um!?"

Suddenly, Luo Shen opened his eyes, looked toward the sky with some confusion, and said, "I was sent to this cave yesterday, and I am here again today. It seems that Di Chuyu still values ​​me very much."

After hesitating for a moment, Luo Shen absorbed the excess life energy that surged out of his body into the Origin Universe.

He left the space of the ladder to heaven and took over the abyss clone in the outside world with bright eyes.

"laugh!"

The figure moved, and a crack suddenly appeared in the void.

Luo Shen took a step forward.

When he appeared, he was already at the entrance of the cave. At this moment, the cave door was wide open. Di Chuyu was leading his personal guards. He smiled at Luo Shen and said, "Abyss, didn't you say before that there was no suitable inheritance? Come on, I will take you to receive the inheritance today."

As soon as Di Chuyu opened his mouth, he dropped a bomb.

Luo Shen was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: "Did I say that?"

But he understood in an instant that it didn't matter whether it was said or not. As long as the other party took him to the place to receive inheritance and let him exchange military merits for cultivation resources, that would be enough.

So he nodded quickly and said, "Thank you very much, Your Highness."

Di Chuyu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "We are all family, no need to be polite."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and motioned Luo Shen to walk onto the flying boat beside him.

Luo Shen hurriedly walked to Di Chuyu's side, motioned for him to go first, and then followed closely behind him and got on the flying boat together. The flying boat stopped for a moment and then took off again, flying towards the palace of the ancestor of the Di Chu lineage.

"Although my royal family is divided into thirteen branches, the inheritances that the thirteen branches can choose are all the same. They are all left by the ancestors of my ancient country Yanfeng."

There are thirteen bloodlines in the ancient country of Yanfeng, and naturally there are thirteen ancestors who command the branches, also known as the thirteen emperors of the ancient country of Yanfeng. The most famous among them is naturally the emperor of Emperor Chuxiong's bloodline, named 'Qing'!
Among this emperor's fifteen direct disciples alone, there are six God Kings and eight Chaos Lords who are beyond the level. Even the weakest one is at the peak level of Chaos Lord!

It is definitely the most powerful among the thirteen branches!
As for the other twelve branches, such as the Emperor Chu branch, their strengths are basically the same, and those emperors are also equally powerful.

"In front is the Emperor's Palace of my branch."

Emperor Chuyu pointed to the front, where a vast palace seemed to blend into the chaos and darkness. Judging from the surface, this palace was about the same size as Huyang City, or even a little smaller.

But this is the ancient country of Yanfeng, where many strong people gather. Even Yanfeng Hall has the ability to fold space, so how could this place not have it? (End of this chapter)
