Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 278 Venerable Haoyan

The battlefield outside the territory, the eighth battlefield.

The Human Race Army's General War God Base Planet, AAA-level, is a massive planet with a diameter of 30 million kilometers, dozens of times larger than the Sun.

Giant annihilation cannons, hundreds of kilometers in caliber and tens of thousands of kilometers in length, made entirely of F-class metal, protruded from the planet's surface into outer space.

Countless fully armed spaceships, each over 100 kilometers long, converged from all directions.

Centered on the planet of the human army's total war god base, within a trillion kilometers, the void is heavily 'sealed', prohibiting interstellar travel; even a cosmic venerable cannot teleport there.

The shadow of war looms over every place.

Everywhere was filled with a desolate and solemn atmosphere of war.

call out!
In the distant starry sky, a spaceship, twenty-seven or twenty-eight kilometers long, with a pointed nose and a silver-white body, flew towards this planet filled with the atmosphere of fierce war.

In the spaceship's control room, a human powerhouse, about two meters tall, with long black hair and wearing a menacing black battle armor, stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the massive war base planet in front of him through a 100% simulated external view.

"Master, we have received a signal from the war base. They are requesting identity verification!"

The cold, mechanical voice of the spacecraft's intelligent system rang out.

"Send over my identity information as the commander of the 10th Army Group, Leng Jianwang, and request that he guide me to the General Headquarters of the War. I want to see the Commander-in-Chief, Venerable Haoyan!"

The human powerhouse, with his black hair flowing down his shoulders and clad in menacing black battle armor, spoke calmly.

Yes! Sent!

Later.

"Master, we have received a signal from the war base and are about to enter the planet's surface!"

The spacecraft's intelligent system returned to its orbit.

"A battle of billions of armies, a place where countless lives have fallen—what a wonderful place!"

As the war base planet drew ever closer, the black-haired human powerhouse wore a strange smile and muttered to himself.

Needless to say, he is Minghai.

Using the virtual universe number given by Cangjianwang, he contacted Haoyan Venerable as Lengjianwang. However, because Haoyan Venerable did not know Lengjianwang's information, it wasted a lot of time.

Overall, things went relatively smoothly, and he eventually became the commander of the 10th Army Group of the human race in this decisive battle, holding the life and death of trillions of troops in his hands.

As for whether they have the ability to command an army of trillions, there is no doubt about that.

Any immortal deity's thought process is tens of millions of times faster than a quantum computer. As an invincible being at the King level, Minghai's thought process is even more terrifyingly fast, making him more than capable of serving as a commander.

after an hour.

The spaceship entered the war base planet and landed at a vast airfield covering millions of kilometers, where countless warships were stationed.

After putting away the Firefly spaceship, Minghai looked across the river.

'whoosh'

Three warriors clad in armor and exuding an aura of immortal gods flew towards them.

"Greetings, Commander-in-Chief 'Cold Sword King'! The Supreme Commander, Venerable Haoyan, requests that you proceed directly to the General Headquarters!"

The imposing, immortal warrior in the middle spoke respectfully.

"lead the way!"

Minghai nodded slightly and gave a brief instruction.

"Yes! Please note, Your Excellency Cold Sword King, that we are currently in a period of war, and high-altitude flights are prohibited. No one may fly above one thousand meters!"

The immortal god warrior gave a word of instruction, then rose three hundred meters into the air and flew away into the distance.

The Nether Sea rose into the sky to follow.

Flying over military facilities, all the soldiers I saw along the way were expressionless, carrying out their orders like robots.

These ordinary soldiers, though unaware of the purpose behind the great decisive battle that occurs once every 1000 epochs, knew that only a handful of people survived each time such a battle took place throughout history. They were well aware of how brutal the upcoming war would be and how low the survival rate would be, so everyone was on edge and had no time for idle chatter.

Of course, there were also a few who, confident in their strength, secretly prepared for the battle, hoping to take advantage of this brutal final battle to break through their cultivation bottlenecks and become immortal gods.

Minghai, of course, didn't care about any of that. Half an hour later, he arrived in front of a building that was hundreds of thousands of kilometers high, entirely dark black, and covered with dense, mysterious patterns.

The war headquarters has arrived.

Following three immortal divine warriors, Minghai entered the building.

Later, we arrived at the top floor of the building and entered a room that covered an area of ​​10,000 square kilometers and was decorated in a magnificent style, resembling a huge palace.

Inside the room were more than 10000 enormous, gilded seats, arranged in five rows according to the numbers 1, 10, 100, 1000, and 10000.

A burly man, about four meters tall, wearing dark armor with many golden patterns on its surface, stood in front of the only seat in the front row, looking directly at Ming Hai as he entered the room. His body seemed to merge with the void, as if he were the master of space.

"Greetings, Venerable Haoyan! Cold Sword King has come to report for duty!"

Upon approaching the burly man, Minghai bowed respectfully and spoke in a deep voice.

Before coming, he specifically sought out his master, Nine Swords Venerable, to inquire about Venerable Haoyan, and learned that he was not an ordinary cosmic venerable, but an ancient and powerful cosmic overlord.

"The Cold Sword King? Heh heh!"

Venerable Haoyan looked at the Underworld Sea with great interest, clicking his tongue in admiration:

"A mere Realm Lord has managed to gain a reputation that's almost unmatched at the King level, and he's even a two-hundred-year-old kid! I never dreamed of such a thing! I really envy that Nine Swords guy!"

"Forehead!"

Minghai smiled sheepishly.

He was not at all surprised that Venerable Haoyan knew his true identity.

When verifying Leng Jianwang's identity earlier, they must have already found out his background.

Such a being must be a core figure of the human race, and it's impossible for the Ice Peak Lord and other high-ranking members of the virtual universe company to keep it from him.

"Little one, do you know?"

Venerable Haoyan continued:
"When your generation's genius battle began preparations, it was also the time when I took office as the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Battlefield Army and began preparing for this decisive battle!"

"In other words, just as I was preparing to launch the final battle, the little guy who participated in the Genius Battle back then has grown to the point where he is qualified to serve as the commander of the Tenth Army Group, second only to me as the commander-in-chief!"

"In the blink of an eye, the world has changed. Seeing you, I feel like all those trillions of years of cultivation have been wasted!"

What could Minghai possibly say?
He could only smile and remain silent.

"All right!"

Venerable Haoyan waved his hand and said:

"I have already authorized you as the commander of the 10th Army Group. Sit down and wait. After the military conference, go to your territory to prepare for the war!"

"Yes!"

Minghai bowed respectfully, walked to the tenth seat in the second row, and sat down.

"Hey girl, tell those kids to come in for a meeting!"

After Minghai sat down, Venerable Haoyan spoke to himself.

"Yes, Master, notification complete!"

A clear, girlish voice rang out in the room.

Minghai glanced around but couldn't see the girl who had been speaking. He realized that Venerable Haoyan must be talking to his intelligent life form.

The strong live long lives, and their personal intelligent systems usually evolve into intelligent life forms. This is naturally the case for an ancient being like Venerable Haoyan.

Unexpectedly, Venerable Haoyan, this burly and strong man, would name his intelligent life form 'Little Girl'.

After instructing the intelligent lifeforms to issue orders to all high-ranking members of the human armies outside the Underworld, Venerable Haoyan sat down in the only seat at the very front, looked at the Underworld, and smiled:

"Little guy, don't be nervous. This kind of decisive battle that only happens once every 1000 epochs is really nothing special. As the army group commander, you only need to lead the troops to their deaths. You don't need to participate in the battle!"

"Forehead!"

Such blunt words left Minghai speechless.
