Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 285 Avici Pagoda

The human immortals retreated, avoiding the area where the demon immortals had self-destructed. Once the power of the self-destruction dissipated, they immediately rushed forward and collected the armor, weapons, and world rings left behind by the demon immortals.

"Greetings, Commander!"

Peak-level Kings like Sharp King, along with a hundred King-level Immortals, a thousand Marquis-level Immortals, and ten thousand Military Lord-level Immortals, flew over, bowing respectfully in awe to pay their respects.

Those immortals who had seized the treasures left behind by the self-destructing immortal gods of the demon race handed over world rings one by one.

Minghai didn't stand on ceremony and waved his hand to accept all the world rings.

Those immortal demons were forced to self-destruct under his pressure, and these world rings were originally spoils of war from the Nether Sea, so he accepted them without any qualms.

Although these demon immortals did not possess any real treasures such as rare treasures or heavy treasures, they were still more than ten thousand immortal gods, including one hundred king-level immortals and ten peak king-level immortals. Each of them was extremely wealthy, and in terms of the amount of wealth alone, they even surpassed the trillions of demon army members. Of course, the Underworld Sea would not let them go.

He's not one of those ancient, invincible kings or cosmic venerables who have existed for ages; he hasn't reached the point where he can disregard wealth.

Of course, without the human immortals holding off the enemy, the Underworld Sea could not have annihilated all these demon immortals, so it is only right and proper that they should be compensated.

But there's no need to give it now; we can give it to them after we've tallied the value of the spoils.

"Return to the base planet to rest and prepare for the third phase of the campaign!"

After glancing at everyone, Minghai gave a calm instruction and then vanished in an instant.

There's not much to clean up on the battlefield.

All traces of the demon army had been washed away by the blood. All that was needed was to bring the human army back. These were minor matters that he, as the commander, did not need to handle personally.

……

Headquarters of the 10th Army Group.

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

The highest command hall.

Whoosh!
With his black hair flowing down his shoulders and dressed in menacing black armor, Mo Minghai appeared in the main hall.

"Ok?"

He had planned to first take stock of what he had gained from annihilating the trillion-strong demon army and the more than ten thousand demon immortals, but a strange movement came from his sea of ​​consciousness. Minghai was startled and immediately stopped what he was doing, probing his sea of ​​consciousness with his mind.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the 'Blood Tower' was surrounded by layers of eerie, dazzling blood-red light, and countless profound laws converged. Inside and outside the 'Blood Tower,' deep and mysterious runes were forming.

As sixty trillion demon warriors were swallowed by the sea of ​​blood, the soul of the Blood Demon rose to the level of a cosmic venerable, and the 'Blood Tower' finally began to transform.

Before long, the eerie, bright blood-red light surrounding the 'Blood Tower' faded, and a three-tiered blood-red pagoda, its surface covered with mysterious patterns and radiating an endless aura of profound mystery, floated in the center of the sea of ​​consciousness.

At the same time, a sense of ancient times surged out from inside the 'Blood Tower' and entered the mind of the Nether Sea.

'The Avici Pagoda, an innate treasure of the soul, with one each for the Blood Demon's true form and the Blood Sea Consciousness; currently classified as a low-level soul treasure, its quality can be improved as the Blood Sea advances.'

"Avici Pagoda?"

"One of the innate, natal soul treasures, the Blood Demon himself and the Blood Sea?"

"Temporarily classified as a low-grade soul treasure?"

"Can the quality improve as the Blood Sea advances?"

Opening his eyes, Minghai was surprised and happy.

As expected, the 'Blood Tower' did not disappoint him. It was a soul treasure from the very beginning, and its quality continued to improve as the Blood Sea advanced.

Moreover, the 'Blood Tower' is a natal treasure that is connected to his life. He completely mastered it from the moment it was born, and there was no need to refine it at all.

Unlike offensive and defensive treasures, the 'Blood Tower' does not have three different forms, but only three inherited runes.

The first secret rune requires no control; it will automatically activate whenever it is attacked by external soul power, protecting the soul of the Nether Sea. Its defensive effect is equivalent to that of a primary-grade soul defense treasure.

Once activated, the second secret rune allows one to unleash the ultimate soul enslavement technique of a cosmic sage, 'Avici Hell'.

Once activated, the third secret rune allows one to unleash the ultimate soul attack technique of a cosmic sage, 'Avici Hell Path'.

It was a supreme soul treasure that combined soul defense, soul enslavement, and soul attack!

"What a treasure!" Minghai's eyes gleamed with a strange light as he carefully sensed the three secret patterns.

Although it is only a primary-level soul treasure, the 'Avici Pagoda' is similar to a very few top-tier and supreme treasures, with comprehensive functions, capable of both defense and attack!

"With the 'Avici Pagoda,' I should be truly invincible below the level of a Cosmic Venerable. Even a weaker Cosmic Venerable, without a soul defense treasure, would not be my match!"

A confident smile appeared on Minghai's face as he thought to himself.

Whether it's physical attack and defense, or soul attack and defense, it's all at the level of a cosmic venerable, without a single weakness. Apart from Luo Feng from the original timeline, he couldn't think of any other invincible king who was stronger than him.

Even Luo Feng needed to achieve immortality and comprehend the ultimate secret technique of the universe master within the old beast god's small universe before he could defeat the current Ming Hai.

He has reached the complete end of his journey at the Realm Lord level.

"I really want to continue advancing to the Blood Sea realm!"

Minghai let out a long sigh.

Taking advantage of this decisive battle on the extraterritorial battlefield, the scale of the Blood Sea was increased to 15 million kilometers in one fell swoop, which can be described as a huge gain.

But the difficulty of the next promotion will increase by more than ten thousand times!
Initial estimates suggest that this Blood Sea advancement devoured a full trillion demon race universe-level warriors, tens of billions of domain lords, and nearly a billion world lords.

The next promotion will require devouring at least ten thousand times more living beings than what was gained this time.

That is, hundreds of billions of demon race universe-level warriors, trillions of domain lords, and hundreds of billions of world lords.

To devour a world lord alone would probably require trillions.

To replace it with a regular immortal, it would require around a hundred billion.

Even if one were to be granted the title of Marquis and achieve immortality, it would still require a billion.

Perhaps a million immortal kings, or ten thousand cosmic venerables.

Of course, if one can devour the Lord of the Universe, one is enough!

In addition, it must be a creature with a large body, such as a demon.

If it were a smaller human race, this number would need to be increased a thousandfold!
How can this be?

Under normal circumstances, don't even think about it.

Even if we participate in the next decisive battle in the extraterritorial battlefield and devour all the armies of the four top races, it still won't be enough!

After calculating the number of lives required for Blood Sea's next advancement, Ming Hai couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine and grimaced.

Blood Sea has too big an appetite!

"Let's take it one step at a time. At least, the current Blood Sea is enough to make me a force no less than Luo Feng from the original timeline!"

Shaking his head and letting go of the thought, Minghai began to organize what he had gained this time.

First, shift your attention to the Blood Sea and take stock of the equipment brought back by the demon army.

The trillion-strong demon army provided trillions of sets of gene armor and weapons.

Among them, the cosmic-level genetic armor and weapons are all of the third tier, and any one of them is worth several life-bearing planets.

There are also tens of billions of sets of fourth-tier gene armor and weapons at the domain lord level. Although the quantity is less than that of third-tier gene armor and weapons at the cosmic level, their value is in no way inferior.

There are also nearly a billion Tier 5 gene armors belonging to World Lords, whose value goes without saying.

The genetic armor and weapons of these demon army alone would fetch an astronomical sum if sold.

In terms of value, it is roughly ten trillion times the legacy of Lord Kabu that was obtained in the Thunder World of Canglan Star, or about one hundred trillion Chaos Units.

However, that was about all the wealth provided by the demon army.

After all, knowing that the death rate in the final battle exceeds 99.9%, these universe-level, domain lord-level, and world lord-level beings would not bring all their possessions with them.

In fact, apart from the essential gene armor and weapons, the trillions of demon warriors had no extra possessions.
