Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 280 A Massive War

one year later.

Headquarters of the 10th Army Group.

AA-level Divine Base No. 010, Commander's Building.

The highest command hall.

On the golden seat, Minghai, with his black hair flowing down his shoulders and wearing the 'Shadow Armor' which had transformed into a ferocious black battle suit, sat calmly.

With his right index finger lightly tapping the armrest, his eyes closed, his mind wandering, sensing the void tens of millions of kilometers away.

Outside the divine base, trillions of kilometers of void were filled with countless warships.

Countless large warships equipped with laser cannons and annihilation cannons are carrying trillions of warriors, leaving the base planet and flying towards the distant stars.

Not only on AA-class war base planet 010, but also on five A-class god bases from 011 to 015, the same phenomenon is happening at the same time.

Five massive armies, each composed of approximately five hundred trillion warriors, are setting off from their respective base planets and heading towards the demon army's base planet, led by their respective legion commanders.

Meanwhile, the five Class A base planets, numbered 016 to 020, have entered a state of high alert. All high-tech weapons, such as annihilation cannons and laser cannons, are ready to be deployed, and countless warships are actively preparing for battle, awaiting the arrival of the demon army.

The 10th Army Group, with the 010 AA-level Divine Base as its command center, has ten A-level Divine Bases under its command, and a total force of trillions.

The first phase of the great battle: Humans versus Demons!

The battle for the war base has officially begun!
The Human Race's Tenth Army Group under Minghai's command is fighting against the Demon Race's Tenth Army Group.

"What a pity, what a pity!"

Sensing the countless military ships setting sail in a mighty procession, Minghai sighed and shook his head regretfully.

Whether human or demon, both are destined to suffer heavy casualties.

Because this battle had no standard for victory or defeat, only a ceasefire target.

In any case, the total casualty rate of both sides must exceed 90% for the conflict to stop!
However, what the Underworld truly regrets is not this war, which was destined to kill more than 90% of its inhabitants and was utterly meaningless except for consuming the surplus population.

But...

"In the first phase of the war, the battle lines stretched for tens of thousands of light-years, consisting entirely of warships exchanging fire. There was little close combat, and no opportunity to summon blood!"

Minghai shook his head in regret.

Although the number of lives involved in the war reached trillions, the first phase of the war took place primarily in the vast expanse of space, with the forces being extremely dispersed.

Moreover, they all used warships to bombard the enemy, using long-range attack methods such as annihilation cannons and laser cannons to kill the enemy, and close combat was almost non-existent.

Under such circumstances, it is virtually impossible to summon a sea of ​​blood to descend and devour living beings on a massive scale.

On the one hand, the battles take place in the vast starry sky. Although the sea of ​​blood is large, it is still insignificant in the boundless space. Even if the blood is summoned, it will not devour many lives.

On the other hand, countless warships clashed, and billions of annihilation cannons and laser cannons attacked in unison, creating an extremely powerful force. Faced with such a terrifying attack, let alone a mere World Lord level being surrounded by a sea of ​​blood, even an immortal Marquis would perish instantly.

Summoning blood is simply not feasible right now.

Even if the Nether Sea wanted to devour the demon army, it had to hold back and wait for the second phase of the war to begin.

As for personally going to the front lines and frequently summoning blood realm passages in different locations to pour out blood and devour demon soldiers, this plan is not feasible.

Firstly, in the first phase, the army group commanders do not personally participate in the battle, which is a tacit understanding among the four top races in countless major battles over the years.

Secondly, while the Blood Devouring Life technique is not Minghai's trump card, it is his hidden secret. Its occasional appearance can be seen as a special method, but if it is used too often, it will inevitably attract attention.

If it attracts the attention of high-ranking members of hostile races such as the demon race and the insect race, and is investigated by numerous universe lords or even the strongest beings in the universe, the existence of the Blood Sea might be exposed.

They even went further and discovered the fundamental secret of the Underworld Sea—a bizarre life form with two sides, the Blood Sea and the Blood Demon!

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, the Underworld Sea will not openly and frequently summon the Blood Realm passage to draw blood and devour life.

Boom boom boom~~~
Rumble~~~
In the Eighth Battlefield, the four dominant races each dispatched trillions of warships and billions of warriors to launch a frenzied, bloody war. The vast starry sky, spanning millions of light-years, was filled with trillions of warships and countless terrifying annihilation cannons, laser cannons, and other high-tech weapons, unleashing terrifying beams of light from afar.

Warships were being blasted into pieces at any moment, exposing the cosmic-level, domain lord, and world lord warriors inside to the starry sky. In an instant, they were struck by the omnipresent beams of light and turned into particle powder.

Every second, more than 10,000 warships are destroyed and hundreds of millions of soldiers perish!
Outside the secret battlefield, countless immortal beings from other races, not belonging to the four peak races, stood in the void, remotely sensing this massive and terrifying war.

Two hundred years ago, after news broke that the Eighth Battlefield was about to host a grand battle that would occur once every 1000 billion epochs, these immortal powerhouses from billions of races in the primordial universe broke away from their camps, left the secret realms, and came to the outer void to wait and prepare to watch this massive war between the four peak races.

Two hundred years is nothing to these immortal beings with long lifespans; waiting a short time is nothing compared to watching the great battle between the four peak races.

"How terrible!"

A giant, several meters tall, alien Marquis-level Immortal, his eyes wide with disbelief, said:

"A war of this scale, waged by the four dominant races every 1000 epochs—no, eleven times! It's terrifying!"

"The scale of the war is one thing, but the death rate is the most shocking thing!"

Another immortal, a member of a different race, sighed:
"After each major battle, the army mortality rate of the four peak races exceeded 99.9%. Only the four peak races, who occupy the rich core area of ​​the original universe and have countless powerful members, can easily withstand such a high mortality rate!"

"Indeed, it's terrifying. With such a foundation, no wonder they're called a top-tier race, far surpassing ordinary races!"

……

These immortal beings from other races were all stunned by the grand gesture of the four top races, and they were all shocked, amazed, and incredulous.

To some extent, this is what the four dominant races—humans, demons, insects, and machines—would like to see.

On the one hand, it can intimidate these alien immortals from all over the primordial universe and enhance its own prestige.

On the other hand, it can attract more powerful alien races who enjoy fighting to participate in the extraterritorial battlefield, making the battles here more competitive and more likely to cultivate geniuses and strong individuals.

……

This massive war lasted for three years.

Headquarters of the 10th Army Group.

AA-level Divine Base No. 010, Commander's Building.

The highest command hall.

With his black hair flowing down his shoulders and dressed in a menacing black armor, Minghai sat on a golden seat and sent a wisp of his consciousness into the virtual universe.

Virtual universe, the independent dimension of the Eighth Battlefield Army System, the meeting scene of the Tenth Army Group.

Minghai sat high above the others as commanders, with the ten top-tier king-level legions positioned to his left and right.

"What are the casualty rates for each legion and the demon army they are facing?"

Minghai asked calmly.

"According to the latest statistics, the First Legion's mortality rate is 89.923. The mortality rate of the opposing demon army should be slightly higher, but overall it's about the same!"

"The First Legion Commander, 'Sharp King,' replied."

"According to the latest statistics, the Second Legion's mortality rate is 90.023. The mortality rate of the opposing demon army should be slightly lower, but overall it is comparable to ours!"

"King of Grains," the commander of the Second Legion, replied.

"According to the latest statistics, the Third Legion's mortality rate is 89.993, while the mortality rate of the opposing demon army should be similar to that of our army!"

The Third Legion Commander, 'Thunder King', replied.
