A few days ago, he was with Xue Ji and learned a lot.
Regarding the “techniques,” he had specifically asked about them.
Technique is different from skill; it is a capability that cannot be replicated, entirely distinct from skill.
Only powerful and unique abilities can be regarded as “Shu” (technique or skill).
The Poison Dragon Body is not enough, the Star Bone with its ceaseless evolution is not enough, and even the King-Making Skill is not enough.
It is said that the Star-Calling Art was accidentally developed into a “technique” by a king who continuously strengthened his abilities during his cultivation.
That is a terrifying power capable of harnessing the strength of the stars.
Lu Yu never even thought that he would create a technique!
And now, in such a bizarre state, he actually created the Star Soul Refining Body Technique!
…
Soul Star Body Cultivation Technique – Level: Unknown. Ability: Unknown. Attribute: Unknown.
…
Lu Yu could feel that the soul power was not only strengthening his body, but also beginning to seep into his flesh and bones, integrating with them.
“The star bone hasn’t changed; I can just feel that this is a form of refinement.”
The Star Bone remained the Star Bone, having devoured countless weapons itself, and had already begun evolving toward becoming a semi-Star Artifact.
What is needed now is a breakthrough at a certain stage of accumulation, directly transforming oneself into a Semi-Star Artifact.
However, the Star Soul Body Cultivation Technique merely strengthens the star bones by infusing soul power into one’s flesh, blood, and physical frame.
The soul merges with the body as one.
This is not an ability, but rather a physical enhancement.
This reinforcement is not limited by weakness; it becomes stronger and stronger.
On the ninth day, while Lu Yu was still weak, he was ambushed by a lifeform at the level of a Demon Lord.
However, the attack from that Demon Lord-level monster ended up killing himself.
Lu Yu first felt the terror of the Star Soul Body Refining Technique.
A body of the first level possesses defensive power equivalent to that of a Demon Lord — this is truly defying the heavens.
Day ten!
“The Shapeshifting Star Soul evolution has begun, with an evolution progress of 40%!”
“The Star Soul Body Refining Technique has reached five thousandths of completion!”
Lu Yu calculated the time and returned to Fanggang City, entering the starry sky once again.
He could feel it. Once he recovered, his strength would receive a boost, and he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to suppress it.
When the ten-day period came to an end, Lu Yu could feel the power within his body swelling like an ocean.
At that very moment, Lu Yu’s entire body was completely shattered.
Innumerable streams of soul energy surged out from his body, resembling massive dragons of soul power gushing forth from within him.
As his various abilities returned and his body underwent changes, this soul energy was once again drawn back into his body.
“This cultivation method is too terrifying,” Lu Yu exclaimed in great shock.
The soul power surged into his body, and he could feel even the Murder God Star Soul beginning to change.
…
“Murderous Star Soul Ability Enhanced–“
…
A voice echoed in Lu Yu’s ear, as it always had, but he could sense the unusual state of the star soul.
…
God of War Star Soul:
Rank: Supreme
Ability: Mutated Star Soul, which can only enhance the body’s basic attributes through killing, allowing one to surpass limits.
Hunting — You have the ability to infuse all the life attributes of your hunting targets into any life form or state, storing their capabilities within until reaching the Semi-Star Artifact stage. No matter whether a life form can perform attribute transfer or not, its attributes will be stored upon being killed.
Transmutation: After evolving a life form or any object into a Semi-Stellar Artifact by using the power of hunting, you continue to hunt in order to accumulate stored attributes. When the stored attributes reach their limit, you will gain the ability to transmute the Semi-Stellar Artifact into a Stellar Artifact, though this transformation can only be applied to a single artifact.
Note: During the process of transforming from a half-star artifact to a full star artifact, various materials as well as the main ingredient are still required—none can be missing. Once the opportunity for transformation is used, your transformation skill will disappear permanently and cannot be regenerated.
The Slayer’s Gift — The Slayer Star Soul can bestow the ninth-stage assessed Slayer’s Will upon others. Once the recipient accepts this gift of the Slayer’s Will, they will obtain a true Slayer Star Soul.
The Bloodthirsty God’s Aura – When fully awakened, a space of ten zhang in diameter filled with razor-sharp killing intent will form around you. Any living being entering this space will suffer damage equal to that of the Killing Blade.
Note that the true Killing Star Soul will only be at level one when bestowed, and must be retrained from scratch!
…
“This—”
Lu Yu gazed at the strange transformation of the God of War Star Soul, even he himself felt astonished.
In an instant, Lu Yu understood how significant the evolution of the murderous god’s soul was for him.
Can one evolve a half-star artifact merely through hunting?
Moreover, he now possesses an additional transformative ability.
Any object or life form can be evolved into a Star Artifact. So, wouldn’t evolving himself into a Star Artifact be just as feasible!
Lu Yu was so excited that his palms began to sweat.
Such a change was too unexpected for him.
The change in hunting was essentially telling him that even clones of himself, created in a place like the Sovereign Zone, could grant him attributes.
Although he used these attributes all at once.
However, when stored, it can completely evolve anything into a semi-star artifact.
“Haha!” Lu Yu couldn’t help but burst into laughter as he quickly analyzed the benefits brought by the changes in the God of War Star.
If it weren’t for the limitations of this special resurrection method, Lu Yu would want to revive the next powerful being right now!
On his list of candidates, there were still several powerful figures in need of resurrection.
“However, once Xue Ji returns, I can ask her for some blood in exchange for a puppet body.”
Lu Yu murmured to himself.
…
Time, everything requires time.
Lu Yu concealed himself within the starry sky, where he devoted his time to forging weapons and absorbing the essence of stars to evolve his star bones.
His Star Bone is already very close to becoming a Half-Star Artifact.
Therefore, during this period, he does not plan to leave the Starry Sky and will devote himself entirely to enhancing his strength.
The enhancement of Wang Zun’s bones also requires a large amount of Starlight Essence to advance.
Lu Yu does not want to waste a single day or a single second.
His foundational strength has already reached seven thousand zuns.
Still three thousand zuns short of the Ten Thousand Zun Power.
At the same time, he was also using his own flames in conjunction with the weapon forging technique, while employing the Star-Invoking Art to channel a vast amount of star essence into his flesh and bones.
A large amount of material used to refine semi-star artifacts was being absorbed into his body.
In every cell and every drop of blood within Lu Yu’s body, countless glimmers of starlight began to accumulate.
“It’s almost there. This is a sign of evolution,” Lu Yu said, his excitement evident. As he watched the changes in his own body, he had already refined the attribute of his Supreme Star Weapon to eight thousand.
Once the Star Soldier’s attributes reached ten thousand zuns, he would begin refining the Star Soldier into a semi-star artifact.
“It’s not quite there yet, but we’re getting close,” said Lu Yu.
He had been working hard for a very long time, so long that he could no longer remember how long it had been.
Finally, I’m about to evolve myself into a semi-star artifact.
Lu Yu didn’t even sleep, just to save time.
…
On the sixteenth day in the starry sky, he finally collapsed from exhaustion. He barely managed to crawl out of the starry expanse, replenished his food supplies, and rested for a day. On that day, Xue Ji came to find Lu Yu.
She had been waiting at Fanggang for three days just to see Lu Yu come out.
“The realm is excellent, but it’s a pity that I can only reach you through messages now,” Xue Ji said, handing Lu Yu a round, ice-blue crystal fragment. “This is my King’s Skill; it belongs to you as your due.”
Lu Yu took it, and a bone-chilling cold surged into his hand, as if it were some ability with an icy attribute.
“Your promotion—” Lu Yu noticed the change in Xue Ji, and couldn’t help but feel his hair stand on end.
Twenty-six days ago, Xue Ji was only at Level 1, but now her power has reached two thousand zuns.
My goodness!
Lu Yu felt that his cultivation progress was nothing compared to Xue Ji’s.
“Don’t ask me how I cultivate; everyone should have their own greatest secret, right?” Xue Ji noticed Lu Yu’s greedy expression and replied with a smile.
“Why don’t we do this,” Lu Yu said, realizing from Xue Ji’s firm response that he had no chance.
But he still said, “I have a way to give you an extra substitute. At the moment of your death, you will switch places with the puppet, and then the puppet will take your place in death. At the same time, you will return to your peak condition. My requirement is simple: exchange one hundred drops of your blood for this.”
Lu Yu said.
“What are you scheming?” Xue Ji immediately thought of the ten puppets in the starry sky, frowning as she asked, “Do you plan to use my blood to create puppets?”
Lu Yu nodded and said, “That’s right, using your blood to create puppet warriors.”
Lu Yu didn’t hide anything and explained the function of the corpse puppet.
Since Yukki had already guessed almost everything, it would be too petty to keep hiding the truth.
“You certainly have quite a few valuable things,” Xue Ji said, blinking her eyes. “How about this: one hundred drops of blood in exchange for one of your puppet substitutes, plus granting me access to your core domain? Would you agree to that?”
“Deal!” Lu Yu said with a hearty laugh, extending his hand enthusiastically to seal the agreement.
This way, you can make money as well.
This is the king’s blood, and obtaining a hundred drops is so easy; it’s a small price to pay compared to what we’ve gained.
Xue Ji also imitated the etiquette of this era, lightly shook hands with Lu Yu, and then entered the core area together with him.
Xue Ji placed the puppet substitute into the core area. Before leaving, she warned Lu Yu once again, “If you’re going to absorb my King-making skill, think carefully about what skill you’ll use to surpass it in the future. Oh, perhaps there’s no need. I’ve heard that you’ve already obtained a King’s King-making skill, so I’m sure you’ll absorb mine.”
Yuki-hime has left.
Lu Yu held the crystal shard given to him by Xue Ji, feeling only a cold chill in the palm of his hand.
Yes, Yukki is a woman.
However, this woman gave him a feeling that was too mysterious and powerful.
What kind of king-making skill does Xue Ji have in this crystal shard?
He did not want to draw attention, so he waited until he returned to the starry sky before crushing the crystal shard in his hand.
A faint, cool, snow-white essence from the crystal shard seeped into Lu Yu’s body.
In the void behind Lu Yu, a snow-white space was rotating. It resembled a giant planet covered in cold, snowy ice.
That planet was so large that it could rival the Milky Way in the starry sky.
The white-snow planet rotated gently, and with each rotation, it released a chill that froze the surrounding void.
…
Acquired Skill – Blazing Starlight!
…
This time, Lu Yu did not immediately see the skill. Instead, countless symbols flickered before his eyes, continuously changing, until they transformed into two large, red words.
Warning—
The two-character message made Lu Yu’s heart sink, and he felt it definitely wasn’t anything good!
