LDP S3: The Jewel of the Underworld

Ch. 36 — Demon Birth Star.

The figure of the Devil hand grasping the scythe instantly flew towards where the Star-Eating Shark was and attacked it mercilessly.

The Star-Eating Shark could only helplessly accept all the attacks that led to his body because the movement and power he had were completely locked away when it was within the grasp of this demonic hand figure.

This monster finally died after being slashed many times by the figure of the Devil hand holding a scythe without being able to put up a fight.

Heilong watched all this to the end from inside the ship's bridge. He felt that this grand formation made by Lijian was not perfect yet. According to his estimation, the perfect grand formation should be able to bring out the figure of the demon body as a whole, not just his hands.

However, Heilong could not rush to find information about this great formation and had to look for the right moment so as not to arouse suspicion.

The huge formation finally disappeared after killing its target.

Lijian and all of the Palace warriors felt extremely exhausted as the dark Qi present within their bodies was being absorbed uncontrollably by this grand formation. In fact, they all felt that their dantian would dry up if the user of this grand formation continued for the next few hours.

However, the strength that this grand formation displayed was able to pay for the tiredness of all of them. What does it mean to feel tired compared to the lives that were saved from the terror of Star-Eating Shark monsters?

They all finally returned to the ship and rested in their respective rooms. They had to immediately recover the spare Qi that was within his dantian as they all did not know what kind of danger had been waiting for during the trip.

Only Lijian who still looks very relaxed even though his body feels very tired. In retrospect, it should have been Lijian' who had his dark Qi reserves depleted the most because other than setting up a formation, he would still have to control that grand formation as long as it activated.

Instead of returning to his room, Lijian instead returned to the ship's bridge to meet Heilong and the Ship's Captain.

“You've done a very good job, young man. Thanks to your help then we can all survive.”

The Captain praised Lijian as soon as he saw her on the ship's bridge. For Captain Lijian Service Ship this time is very 'big because without him then this ship may have been destroyed by Star Eater Shark monster. And, the crew he had on board probably won't survive.

“Captain praised too much. Anyway, I'm a passenger on this ship. So, I also have to help maintain the safety of this ship if you want to arrive safely,” Lijian replied lowly because in this place there is Heilong.

“I will definitely give you a gift once we get to the Devil's Birth Star. In any case you deserve credit for your hard work.” Heilong patted Lijian on the shoulder.

“Thanks, Rapport.” Lijian looks very happy because this is what he is waiting for. On the way this time, he did not bring much supplies so the slightest gift would be very useful for him.

After getting what he wanted, Lijian immediately asked for permission to return to the room. However, before leaving the bridge of this ship, Lijian had spoken words that disturbed Heilong's mind.

Heilong could hear clearly if Lijian had said that the grand formation he used to kill the Star-Eating Shark monster was not perfect yet. He had to increase his cultivation if he wanted to obtain a perfect version of the great death demon formation from Demon King Zhao.

“The rudimentary formation alone already has such a great power, what if the large formation is already perfect?” heilong.

“Of course that grand formation will have a power that can shake the entire Underworld. However, the price to pay for using the death demon grand formation seems too great because I heard that Demon King Zhao only used this grand formation three times during his lifetime,” sahut ship captain.

Heilong looked directly at the captain of the ship. “Have you ever seen the perfect version of the great demon formation of death?”

The ship captain nodded immediately. “Of course! Me and Demon King Zhao are actually childhood friends. It's just that my ability to cultivate is too low to make me have to end up being a ship captain.”

Heilong looked absolutely no wonder when he heard the answer from the captain of the ship. Because, based on the bloodline alone, Demon King Zhao should be superior to all the Demon Races in the Underworld.

“Then when did you see that big formation. And, what sort of damage impact did that grand formation show?” Heilong looked increasingly curious. The look in his eyes when he asked looked like a child asking to buy candy.

“I don't really remember when the time was because I spent most of my time inside the ship.” The captain of the ship looked at the darkness that was around him as if he was longing for a home. He then continued saying. “Aren't you his son, why don't you try asking him this directly?”

Heilong who had not expected the captain of the ship to answer like that could only stare bitterly. He did not know what to answer and could only choose to be silent.

“Haha ..” The ship captain laughed crisply at the sight of Heilong's nervous expression. “There is no need to think about the great formation of the death demon as doing so will only burden your mind. All you have to do now is focus on school and getting your cultivation back so that you deserve the title of Prince and not humiliate Demon King Zhao.”

Heilong only responded with a nod of his head then left the ship's bridge and returned to his room to cultivate.

Heilong Room.

Once inside the room, Heilong instantly created an array of protective formations that sealed the existence that sealed the existence of this place with the outside world as he would do something very important and absolutely must not get the slightest disturbance that is to explore the Dao.

Heilong immediately meditated and immediately entered into his soul world. Of course the place he was heading to was the heaven dao space that was within the Palace of Light.

After entering the dao heaven space, Heilong then touched an object similar to an hourglass. Actually, while he was still inside the ancient ruins, he wanted to immediately learn this Dao. However, the time left at that time did not allow him to do this.

Yep! The Dao Heilong wanted to learn this time around was Dao Time. He had actually possessed the power of Dao Time within him that came from the Divine Beast Shen Long. However, his understanding in Dao Time was still too shallow and could be likened to someone stepping on the shore of an island.

Such powerful fluctuations of Time Dao strength instantly surrounded Heilong the moment he touched the hourglass with his hands.

Under the pressure of such a powerful Time Dao, Heilong finally arrived at a world where the flow of time present in this place looked extremely chaotic.

At first glance, Heilong could feel if there was such a huge difference in the flow of time if he went further and further along this world.

The flow of time within a radius of one kilometer from where it currently was had a speed twice that of ordinary time. And, this will continue to increase as he grows farther away he dies his place.

Heilong then decided to walk forward while feeling for himself the mystery of what was stored behind this time flow difference.

At first Heilong looked mediocre as he managed to walk for five kilometers because the pressure of the Time Dao force attacking his body was still tolerable.

However, while trying to exceed that distance, Heilong was instantly made to fall down and his mind went into a daze for a few minutes due to the impact from the Time Dao attack.

“It looks like a distance of five kilometers is already my limit for now. All righty! I'll meditate in this place.”

Heilong then meditated and absorbed the power of the Time Dao that was around him. He did not try to break through any further because the Time Dao possessed such special strength and his cultivation foundation could also collapse if he were to overextend himself to study the power of the Time Dao beyond the limits of his ability his body.

The current Heilong place of existence had a time flow speed ten times that of normal circumstances so the results he would obtain if he continued meditating in this place would not be too little even if he would only spent three years only.

Therefore, Heilong did not hesitate at all and made a special barrier that would remind him if the three years he had had ended.

**

Three Years Later.

The ship Heilong was aboard finally arrived at the galaxy where the Demon Birth Star was located.

Heilong had already ended his cultivation inside the Heaven Dao Room and he was currently standing inside the ship's bridge only accompanied by the captain of the ship.

“Are we almost at the Devil's Birth Star?” heilong asked as he looked at such a huge star in front of him.

“True. The star before you right now is the Devil Birth Star. However, the distance we have to travel to get to the star is still around a few days away,” replied the ship captain.

Heilong no longer asked questions as this would look even stranger in the captain's eyes when and would only provoke suspicion since all the Demon Race should have special knowledge and ties with the Demon Birth Star.

Heilong finally made use of his time to look at the scenery around the Demon Birth Star. Because, from the bridge of this ship, he could see the Devil's Birth Star very clearly.

At first glance, the geographical state of the Devil's Birth Star is almost similar to that of Saturn which both have rings. It's just that the size of the Devil's Birth Star is indeed much larger than the Planet Saturn.

The ring that was in the Demon Birth Star was forgiven by the Demon Lords for placing the soldiers guarding this star. In any case, the Demon Birth Star was their source so it had to be closely guarded so as not to be destroyed by the intruders from the God Realm.

However, what surprised Heilong even more was the fact that the Devil's Birth Star had its own sun and moon so this place had day and night. If he had not seen his own eyes, he might never have believed it.

There is not a single star or planet in the Underworld that has a sun and moon other than the Devil's Birth Star.

It seemed that the stars and moon that existed in the Demon Birth Star were indeed deliberately conserved to maintain the balance of Yin Yang.

The captain of the ship immediately landed at the guard post to undergo the inspectors and took the admission. Because, without a permit to enter, he will not be able to leave the Devil's Birth Star after he finished delivering Heilong.

The check at this guard post turned out to be very strict even though Heilong had shown the warrant given by Demon King Zhao before the trip.

Each part of the ship was carefully examined using a special kind of tool that could detect traces of the existence of a god. It was fortunate that this tool had absolutely no effect on Heilong.

“Does the examination process to enter the Demon Birth Star indeed have to be this tight?” Heilong asked Lijian who was currently standing on the deck of the ship along with her.

“It used to be not this tight. But a thousand years ago there was a God who was able to infiltrate the Demon Birth Star by hitching a ride to a ship that came from the battlefield. Since then, the guards to enter this place have been further tightened.”

Heilong only nodded upon hearing Lijian's explanation. He actually wanted to ask how the fate of the god who dared to infiltrate the Demon Birth Star. However, he felt the moment this time was not fitting so he kept back the question.

All these inspection processes spent a full day until finally this ship was allowed to continue the journey.

Heilong and Lijian were already very impatient to immediately set foot on the Demon Birth Star. However, they had to wait a few more hours until the ship actually landed.

“Ship will land soon. Check your luggage and make sure nothing is left behind.” The ship's captain made an announcement to all crew and passengers from the ship's bridge.

The ship began to shake as it passed through the atmosphere of the Demon Birth Star that was filled with meteor rock shards.

All the passengers on board have gathered on the deck while waiting for the exit to open.
