Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 152 Devouring Version of the Seven Fairies
Unlike Olivia from the previous acquisition department, this was about negotiating business deals; a large order had come up, and it was only natural for the supervisor to step in.

But right now, it's delivery work, and I'm doing the job of a courier, so there's no need for the supervisor to get involved.

Orus smiled and said, "To be honest, Your Highness, I was the one who took over this purchase order."

Our human race has nine garbage star regions, which are jointly managed by personnel dispatched by the five major powers.

My elder brother, Oruk, happens to be in charge of one side of my Virtual Universe Company in the Saipan Starfield, one of the nine junk starfields. This is his Virtual Universe communication number.

"If Your Highness needs anything in the future, please feel free to contact me."

Finally, Orus took out a metal plaque and handed it to Lu Jin.

He was the one who took over Lu Jin's order, and Orus naturally knew that Lu Jin had purchased seven Zerg Queens.

The Zerg Queen is not cheap, and Lu Jin certainly didn't buy her to be a beautiful maid; he had his eye on the Zerg army that the Zerg Queen had cultivated.

The best raw material for cultivating the Zerg army is undoubtedly the corpses of Zerg warriors in the garbage star system.

With seven Zerg Queens, the number of Zerg warrior corpses required in the future will inevitably be considerable.

Moreover, when it comes to fighting, casualties are inevitable.

It's no exaggeration to say that every genius or powerful individual who enslaved the Zerg Queen was a long-term customer of the garbage star system.

My own brother is in charge in the Saipan star system, so I have to introduce him to some business.
"Thank you, Manager Orus, that's exactly what I need."

Lu Jin bowed and thanked him, then accepted the metal nameplate.

"Haha~, I'm glad Your Highness doesn't mind. Let's inspect the goods."

Orus smiled and waved his hand.

Nodding slightly, Lu Jin opened the briefcase and used his telekinesis to probe a world ring inside.

A moment later, Lu Jin said, "The goods are fine. Thank you for your help, Manager Orus."

"Your Highness, the transaction is complete. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

Orus cupped his hands in greeting.

"Walk slowly~"

Lu Jin put Orus on the spaceship.

After the spaceship departed, Lu Jin returned to the attic with the World Ring containing seven Zerg Queens.

"Shh!"

Inside the World Ring, on the boundless grassland, a water unicorn clone appeared in human form.

On the grassland ahead, there were seven Zerg mother nests, each over 800 meters in diameter.

The surfaces of the seven mother nests are covered with numerous pits, and the venom flowing out turns into poisonous gas that spreads like clouds and mist.

The power of the world swept over one of the mother nests, and Lu Jin saw that the structure inside the mother nest was like a honeycomb, with densely packed holes.

In the very core of the mother nest, there is a cavity with a diameter of 100 meters.

Within this void, a breathtakingly beautiful life lies dormant.

The exquisite creature is entirely white and translucent, as if formed from crystal, and stands approximately twelve meters tall.

A pair of butterfly-like wings enveloped her delicate body, like a thin veil concealing her curvaceous and exquisitely beautiful figure, which aroused a desire in one's heart to hold her in one's arms and cherish her.

This is the most exquisite creature in the universe, the Zerg Queen.

To ensure their safety, the Zerg Queens sold by the Virtual Universe Company's Vault have all been subjected to a soul-binding spell, keeping them in a state of slumber.

The power of the world permeated the sleeping Zerg Queen's body, and Lu Jin saw that the Zerg Queen's life structure was very different from that of ordinary life.

The Zerg Queen was crystal clear, as if composed of countless energy rays, with channels running through her body and a full ten thousand orbs of light.

These ten thousand orbs of light are somewhat similar to the primordial beads, which are the souls of normal realm lords.

However, due to the different life structures, ordinary realm lords only have one source bead, while the insect queen has ten thousand soul sources.

The Zerg Queen has two innate arcane abilities: 'Soul of the Souls' and 'Hive'.

The 'Ten Thousand Souls' talent technique involves dividing the soul into ten thousand parts, making every Zerg Queen a highly promising illusionist.

The 'Mother Nest' talent secret technique is to construct the Zerg Mother Nest.

The Zerg hive possesses certain gene analysis and recombination capabilities; by expending resources, the Queen can cultivate Zerg warriors within the hive.

It is precisely because the Zerg Queen possesses an extremely complex soul, and these souls can form a strange network, that enslaving the Zerg Queen is far more difficult than that of ordinary life forms of the same level.

However, for the Water Kirin clone, which possesses perfect genes and a hundred times the soul amplitude, the Zerg Queen of the same level, who is in a dormant state, is not a challenge at all.

The divine power of exorcism was activated, and streams of light converged from the fingertips of the water unicorn clone.

As the soul power was consumed, a divine exorcism talisman, radiating light and exuding a mysterious aura, emerged from the fingertip.

"call out!"

Lu Jin flicked his finger, and the exorcising talisman transformed into a stream of light that shot out.

The radiant exorcism talisman, seemingly not real, pierced straight through the nest and then disappeared into the Zerg Queen's brow.

In an instant, the exorcising talisman overflowed with countless streams of light, beginning to corrupt the souls of the Zerg Queen, which were divided into ten thousand parts.

One, ten, one hundred, one thousand
Even as the light emanating from the exorcising talisman permeated all ten thousand soul sources of the Zerg Queen, thus completely enslaving her, the Queen did not put up a desperate resistance.

'It seems my ability to exorcise spirits is gentler than the soul-enslaving techniques found throughout the universe?'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

Before long, Lu Jin had enslaved the seven Zerg queens.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

The next moment, seven stunningly beautiful figures flew out of the mother nest and landed in front of Lu Jin.

Looking at the seven queen mothers before him, each twelve meters tall, their beautiful eyes gazing at him with watery eyes as if they were looking at their most beloved lovers, Lu Jin's mind raced. He increased his height, making himself half a head taller than the seven queen mothers.

"Owner!"

A gentle, penetrating voice rang out, and the seven queens bowed in greeting.

"From now on, you will be called Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, and Purple."

Lu Jin pointed to the seven queens one by one and said.

Hong'er comprehended the Law of Fire, while Cheng'er comprehended the Law of Light. Both of the Queen Mothers have gained recognition from the Law of Space or the Law of Time.

The law of metal is yellow, the law of wood is green, the law of wind is cyan, the law of water is blue, and the law of lightning is purple.

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—these perfectly represent the seven fairies.

The Heavenly Court has a Peach Garden, so how could it be without the Seven Fairy Maidens?
Hmm, when the peaches ripen next time, we'll let the Seven Fairies pick them.

"Yes, Master!"

The seven queens bowed in response.

"There are many types of Zerg warriors, are there any that specialize in soul attacks?"

Lu Jin asked the seven queen mothers.

With the Demon Refining Pot in hand, the ability to leave behind the opponent's corpse when killing them is undoubtedly crucial. However, the divine bodies of immortals, venerables, and cosmic masters are all energy bodies. Killing enemies using ordinary insectoid legion attacks is unlikely to completely obliterate their divine bodies, putting them into a state of slumber.

Either the damage overflows, completely crushing the opponent.

Either the damage wasn't enough, leaving the opponent a chance to self-destruct.

However, if a Zerg army launches a combined attack with soul-attacking abilities, the situation is quite different. They can bombard the enemy relentlessly, annihilating the soul and obtaining the complete corpse, maximizing their loot.

“Master, although the Zerg warriors have souls and consciousness, they are inherently weak, possessing quality but lacking quantity, and there are no Zerg warriors skilled in soul attacks.”

Hong'er said with a troubled expression.

"Okay~"

Lu Jin clicked his tongue, and could only place his hopes on the special Earth and the supernatural power of manipulating fate.

Earth is special; the same life form born on Earth can possess a higher potential for the soul.

The Zerg Queen nurtures Zerg warriors. If these warriors were nurtured on Earth, they would be considered life forms born on Earth, and theoretically, their soul potential would be even higher.

The enhancement of soul potential may allow Zerg warriors who originally only had the warrior template to become dual cultivators of warrior and illusionist.

As for manipulating creation, that's a supernatural power that can make one a creator.

Creating Zerg warriors based on the warrior template of Zerg warriors, and then creating Zerg warriors based on the illusionist template of Zerg warriors, is absolutely feasible; it just requires a certain amount of effort.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

Then, Lu Jin waved his hand, and a large number of immortal-level life source crystals materialized, piling up into a small mountain not far from him.

Just as Hong'er and the other six were wondering what was going on, Lu Jin took out seven more secret manuals from his external storage space.

Then, with a change of heart, the seven secret manuals fell into the hands of Hong'er and her six companions.

Lu Jin pointed to the pile of Immortal-grade Life Source Crystals next to him and said, "The secret manuals in your hands are the Hundredfold Amplification Secret Technique, which includes both divine body amplification and soul amplification. These are the resources for cultivating the Amplification Secret Technique."

Use these resources to perfect the secret technique as soon as possible. If you run out of resources, just let me know.

'The secret method of a hundred times amplitude? ! '

Hong'er and the other seven widened their beautiful eyes in surprise.

Apart from a very few super geniuses, for beings at the realm lord level, the amplitude manual alone, with its amplitude limit reaching a hundred times, is already an item that they cannot afford even if they go bankrupt.

Moreover, judging from their master's intentions, the seven of them were able to cultivate to the hundredfold limit amplitude at the realm master stage.
Goodness gracious! Isn't the owner incredibly extravagant?
It's important to understand that even among the most powerful beings at the level of cosmic overlords, not every single one possesses a hundredfold limit amplitude!

Virtual universe, Frost Continent.

On the top floor of a luxury hotel, Lu Jin entered a private room after the waiter who led the way pushed open the door.

"Your Highness Lu Jin, welcome, welcome."

As soon as Lu Jin entered the private room, he saw a bald, purple-striped man who looked almost exactly like the logistics department manager, Orus, stand up and greet him.

Oruk, the bald, purple-striped giant, is one of the five leaders of the Saipan star system, one of the nine major garbage star systems.

"King of Purple Thunder".

Lu Jin nodded in greeting.

The title of Purple Lightning King is Oruk's title, while his brother Orus' title is Purple Thunder King. Both brothers achieved immortality through the laws of lightning, which Lu Jin had found out earlier.

After exchanging pleasantries and having served all the food and wine, and dismissing the waiters, Lu Jin said, "King Zi Lei, there's something I need to trouble you with."

"Haha~"

Upon hearing this, King Oruk of the Purple Lightning, who already understood Lu Jin's purpose, laughed heartily and said, "Your Highness Lu Jin, rest assured, although the five major powers have regulations that the price of Zerg warrior corpses cannot be discounted, I will definitely select the best quality Zerg corpses for Your Highness."

It's no wonder Oruk gave him face; as a powerful figure in the Virtual Universe Company, he had connections and knew that Lu Jin was the only personal disciple of the Heavenly Frost King.

Moreover, the ruler of the Heavenly Frost Kingdom is not only a cosmic overlord, but also has an extraordinary status; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the number one second-generation human.

Moreover, as long as Lu Jin doesn't die, he will inevitably become a high-ranking member of the virtual universe.

As one of the five heads of the Garbage Starfield, this is a lucrative position, and he needs to cultivate a good relationship with the promising Lu Jin.

Lu Jin said, "Thank you for your kindness, King Zi Lei. However, I need a large number of corpses of peak Realm Lord Zerg warriors, so there is no need to make a special selection to avoid gossip."

"Oh? How many peak World Lord insect corpses does Your Highness require?"

Oruk asked.

"Let's start with 10 billion bodies."

Lu Jin stated his demand.

As soon as he finished speaking, Oruk paused, then exclaimed in surprise, "One hundred billion?"

"Yes, that's 10 billion."

Lu Jin nodded.

Is 10 billion peak-level World Lord insect corpses a lot?
It sounds like a lot, but if you really calculate it, this amount is exactly what Lu Jin needs.

Putting aside quality factors, it would take the Queen approximately ten peak ninth-tier world lord insect corpses to cultivate a single insect warrior using the corpses of insect warriors as raw materials.

If the goal is to cultivate Zerg warrior kings, then a hundred times the resources are required, which is a thousand peak-level ninth-tier Zerg corpses of World Lords.

Each of his seven queens was assigned a million-strong insectoid king legion, which consisted of seven million peak ninth-tier world lord insectoid warrior kings, requiring seven billion peak ninth-tier world lord insectoid corpses.

The remaining three billion units will be used to compensate for breeding errors and potential battle losses.

Seeing Lu Jin's confident expression, Oruk said, "Your Highness, since you require a large quantity, I really can't select high-quality insect corpses specifically."

After all, there are five people in charge of the garbage star field, and I am just one of them.

Of course, I can guarantee that these 100,000 insect corpses are all above the average level.

The Garbage Starfield does not sell Zerg warrior corpses individually. One unit consists of 100,000 peak ninth-tier Realm Lord Zerg corpses, or one billion peak ninth-tier Realm Lord Zerg corpses, and each unit is priced at 10,000 Chaos Units.

"Thank you for your help, King Purple Thunder."

"Your Highness, there's no need to be so polite. By the way, Your Highness, the Saipan star system is extremely far from the Primal Secret Realm. Even if you travel through the dark universe at 50 times the speed of light, it would still take more than a year."

"How about I send a soul servant to fetch you, using divine teleportation to traverse the vast distance?"

Oruk said to Lu Jin.

When it comes to the best way to travel over extremely long distances in the universe, divine teleportation is the way to go.

The divine kingdom teleportation between the Primal Secret Realm and the Saipan Starfield would only consume a double-digit number of Mixed Yuan units at most, which was not even worth mentioning to him, a King-level Immortal.

"Thank you, King Zi Lei."

Lu Jin bowed and thanked him.

It's a good thing to save about a year of travel time.

Although he could cultivate along the way, the process of being sent out to other places had already been completed by then, and he, as the special envoy for supervision, had to take up his post in time.

Furthermore, accumulating great merit should be done sooner rather than later.
