Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 173 Widespread Bounty
Even though this young mechanical race member, who had reached the peak of the Marquis level, had burned his divine power and his strength had increased a thousandfold.

But aside from wielding a G-grade immortal divine sword and using secret techniques to offset some of the Blue Gold Claws' attack power, he could only endure constant heavy blows; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was being brutally ravaged by the behemoth.

Who are you, powerful figure?

Despite being brutally beaten, the mechanical youth asked loudly, his face full of resentment.

You're at least at the peak of the Kinghood, do you really think my meager wealth is worth your attention?
Lu Jin remained silent, dodging the combined attacks of the mechanical puppet army while manipulating the phantom of the Water Beast God to relentlessly pound the opponent.

Why would I tell you who I am?

If you have a teacher or something, wouldn't a powerful person come looking for revenge later?
I, Lu Jin, despise soulless immortals like you the most.

Without a soul, it is impossible to be enslaved or destroyed by a soul. Once the divine body is damaged to a certain extent, it will self-destruct. Aren't you ruining my Demon Refining Pot?
"boom!"

Having taken another hoof strike, his divine body suffered further damage. The mechanical youth questioned, "Is this all the composure a true powerhouse has?"

Even a mosquito's leg is still meat, no matter how small.

Lu Jin said in a deep voice.

Mechanical youth: "."

"boom!"

The enormous blue-gold hoof slammed down again. Realizing that his divine body had lost more than 40%, the mechanical youth hurriedly shouted, "Let me go! The Eight Desolate Divine Light Prison is yours!"

"Foolish! Everything you own will be mine after you die!"

The attacks from the phantom of the Water Beast God continued unabated, and Lu Jin said disdainfully.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The blue-gold claws slammed down again and again. When the divine body was reduced to only 20%, the mechanical youth synchronized the battle video to the clan's virtual world and sent it to all the powerful members of the same faction he knew. He then cursed with a ferocious expression, "You despicable alien king, I curse you to never become a cosmic venerable!"

"boom--"

The next moment, the mechanical youth's divine power surged, transforming into a dazzling sphere of energy that instantly spread across tens of thousands of kilometers in the starry sky.

'It's only because you have no soul; otherwise, would a piece of trash like you have even had the chance to self-destruct?'

Looking at the dazzling energy sphere rising in the distant starry sky, Lu Jin thought to himself.

After glancing at the seven intact pyramids and one dilapidated pyramid in the starry sky, as well as the more than seven million F9-level Holy Light Silver Mother mechanical puppets, Lu Jin flew forward and began to collect the spoils of war.

The mechanical golem army of the Machine Race is different from the Zerg army of the Zerg Race.

After the Zerg Queen dies, the Zerg Legion warriors do not die directly; they simply become scattered and disorganized.

However, when a member of the Machine Race dies, the mechanical puppet legion under his command will be directly paralyzed.

Because mechanical puppets are not robots, they need an operator to control them.

The members of the Machine Race all evolved from intelligent life forms and do not require the assistance of other intelligent life forms. The controllers of their legions are themselves.

This would cause the mechanical puppet army to collapse if the controller were to fall.

Before long, Lu Jin cleaned up the battlefield and pocketed the spoils.

'Not bad, I reckon it can sell for billions of Mixed Yuan Units.'

Lu Jin secretly estimated the value of the spoils.

He could tell that this young mechanical race member, who was at the peak of the Marquis level, must have been in a battle before. This mechanical puppet of the 'Eight Desolate Divine Light Prison' must have suffered considerable damage, and it has not yet been fully replenished.

Otherwise, the number of F9-level Holy Light Silver Mother mechanical golems released from the eight platinum pyramids would not be more than seven million, but a full eight million.

At this moment, Fatty reminded him: "Master, we have gained one trillion military merits."

The initial rank of Marquis grants 1000 billion military merits, the advanced rank grants 100 billion military merits, and the current rank of Marquis, achieved by killing a mechanical race member, grants a peak Immortal rank of Marquis, and one trillion military merits have been credited to the account.

Lu Jin nodded slightly, waited for a while longer, and seeing that no immortals came, he took out the Shenzhou spaceship and continued his hunt.

He thought that the previous peak-level Marquis of the Mechanical Race would send out a request for help, and that an Immortal from the Mechanical Race camp would arrive later!
Unexpectedly, their wait was fruitless.

Ugh, trash! Can't even handle one Immortal.

It's not that the young mechanical race member killed by Lu Jin was unpopular; he just died too quickly.

It wasn't that the other immortals from the Machine Race camp couldn't get there in time; rather, they were afraid that if they came, they would only be sent to their deaths.

He was at the peak of the Marquis level, and even had a record of killing an Immortal of the same level. The fact that he was defeated so quickly shows how strong his opponent was.

We're not in a master-disciple, father-son, brother, or close friend relationship. It's no problem for me to lend a hand, but if it really comes down to risking my life, where do you get the nerve to be so shameless?

Although no one came over, the battle video that the mechanical youth synchronized with the mechanical race's virtual world caused quite a stir in the immortal circle of the mechanical race faction in the Shattered Star Continent region.

Before long, the immortals of the mechanical race in the Shattered Star Continent region basically knew that a powerful king-level expert of unknown origin, who did not follow martial ethics, but was very strong, had arrived on land 006 in the Shattered Star Continent region.

Especially those two lines, "Even a mosquito's leg is still meat" and "Foolish! After you die, everything will be mine!"

The immortals of the mechanical race all looked on with disdain.

He could easily kill a peak-level Marquis without burning his divine power. Judging from the strength of this Immortal King, he should be at the peak of the King level, and a master among them.

It's bad enough that a dignified peak-level King-ranking expert would bully a 'little kid' at the Marquis-ranking level, but to utter such shameless words is simply a disgrace to the countless King-ranking experts in the Seventh Domain Outer Battlefield!
Of course, we should despise the enemy strategically, but take the enemy seriously tactically.

Despite their disdain, many Immortals from the Mechanical Race factions on Land 006 in the Shattered Star Continent region have taken action.

What action?
It's not that we want to cause trouble for this 'corrupt king,' but rather that this place is not a safe place to stay.

A powerful, uncivilized king has arrived here. Shouldn't you run away quickly?
If he happens to encounter this situation later, wouldn't he be doomed?
Not only did some marquises run away, but even some immortal military lords ran away, and even the only newly appointed king among the mechanical race on land 006 also ran away.

The immortal military lords were afraid that Lu Jinlian would even target small-time figures like them.

As for the latter, after judging that Lu Jin possessed the strength of a peak-level King, he guessed that he was very likely to become one of the main targets of the hunt, and dared not stay here any longer.

Since the extraterritorial battlefield is so vast, why bother staying on land 006 of the Shattered Star Continent?

three days later.

'call out! ’

A golden beam of energy, 100 meters in diameter, shot out from the Shenzhou spaceship, rapidly traversing a distance of tens of millions of kilometers, and precisely landed on a tomahawk-shaped E9-class spaceship belonging to the demon race.

"boom--"

A violent roar erupted as the E9-class spaceship, shaped like a battle tomahawk, exploded, adding more debris to this star battlefield.

"Master, 3 million military merits have been credited to your account."

In the Shenzhou spacecraft control room, Fatty reminded Lu Jin.

Clearly, that single shot had wiped out three early-stage Immortal Army Lords from the demon race. "A mere 3000 points? Tsk~, not worth the interest."

Lu Jin shook his head, scoffing.

Suddenly, Lu Jin thought of something important and said, "Fatty, take a look in the virtual universe. Do our human race's immortals have any special gathering points or anything on land 006 of the Shattered Star Continent?"

Soon, Fatty said, "Master, the virtual universe has opened up an extraterritorial battlefield plane. There are eleven islands in the plane, and each island has countless cities. Each city corresponds to a battle area in the extraterritorial battlefield."

On the seventh island lies Shattered Star City, a city teeming with warriors from the Shattered Star Continent, ranging from Immortals to those below.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin nodded in satisfaction and instructed, "Use my account at the Cosmic Galaxy Bank to transfer 1000 billion Chaos Units to Ling Xiao's bank account."

The two fake identities that the teacher, the ruler of Tianshuang Kingdom, gave him were naturally linked to bank accounts.

Otherwise, if he uses his original bank account to make transactions, wouldn't his identity be exposed?

"Master, transfer complete!"

Lu Jin instructed Fatty, "Send emails to all human faction immortals in Shattered Star City, offering a bounty on the coordinates of enemy faction immortals on land number 006."

The bounty for a low-ranking Marquis is 10 Mixed Yuan Units; for a high-ranking Marquis, it is 30 Mixed Yuan Units; for a peak Marquis, it is 100 Mixed Yuan Units; and for a low-ranking King, it is 300 Mixed Yuan Units. Bounties below Marquis and above low-ranking King are not offered.

Please tell them on my behalf that if I, 'Lingxiao,' arrive there, as long as the target is still there, I will send them money immediately, regardless of whether I can kill them successfully.

If multiple people send me the same coordinates of an enemy immortal, I will only send the reward to the person who first sent the coordinates to my email address.

Compared to the 006 landmass with a maximum diameter of 12000 trillion kilometers, the exploration range of 10 billion kilometers is undoubtedly still very small, making it unlikely that Lu Jin will encounter an immortal from the opposing camp who has been granted the title of Marquis or above.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't encounter it himself, as long as there are immortals from the human faction who can.

If nothing unexpected happens, once this bounty is issued, there will definitely be immortals in the human faction on Land 006 who will be tempted.

After all, it only provides the coordinates of the powerful figures in the opposing faction, and they don't have to risk their lives. The immortals certainly wouldn't mind making some extra money.

Not to mention that the bounty is not low and it's not for a specific target.

All you need to do is be in the opposing camp and have the strength to be granted the title of Marquis, but not exceeding the initial level of the title of King.

Of course, Lu Jin did not intend to use the 'teleportation' ability granted by the third pair of Azure Netherworld Wings to teleport to the coordinates of the enemy powerhouses he received later.

Teleportation is one of his trump cards, but he can't reveal it so soon. He plans to travel through the dark universe.

The spaceship is large, and without deliberately cleaning up the debris in the secret space, it is difficult to accelerate to the speed of light due to the obstruction of the debris, and then travel through the dark universe.

But if it were him, traversing the starry sky of the cosmic secret realm and entering the dark universe would be far too easy.

The largest diameter of Continent 006 is 12000 trillion kilometers. By traveling through the dark universe, even at only one time the speed of light, it is possible to cross the entire Continent 006 in just a few seconds.

Aside from calculation and flight errors, as long as he receives accurate coordinates and uses virtual universe comparison for positioning, he can reach any point on Land 006 in a very short time.

"Yes, Master!"

Fatty responded, then edited an email and sent it to all the immortals in Shattered Star City on the seventh island.

Virtual universe, extraterrestrial battlefield plane, the seventh island, Shattered Star City.

In Shattered Star City, a luxurious restaurant with a sign that reads "No. 006" on the door is filled with many immortals from the human faction.

A burly man took a big gulp of wine and said to the several human immortals with a gloomy expression, "Damn it~, those days were really dangerous. I was unlucky enough to run into King Zhen An!"

"Hiss~, could it be the Dark King of the Machine Race?"

"Goodness gracious~, that's a newly appointed King-level expert."

"No way, Brother Biao, I've heard that this Zhen An Wang is extremely bloodthirsty. If you really run into him, do you think you can escape?"

"Haha~, lucky me, lucky me."

"Something important must have happened, because King Zhen's 'Dark Light Tower' flew right over my head, completely ignoring me. Otherwise, my buddies and I probably wouldn't be here today. Holy crap!"

As he was boasting, the voice of the AI ​​assistant rang in his mind, and the burly man widened his eyes and swore.

Needless to say, the bounty email that Lu Jin had Fatty send to the group arrived.

"What the hell?"

"what happens?"

Several immortals nearby hurriedly asked.

"Uh~, it's nothing, come on, keep drinking!"

The burly man paused for a moment, then outwardly urged everyone to continue drinking, while secretly communicating with the AI ​​to send the coordinates of many powerful figures from the opposing faction that he knew to the 'Lingxiao' account that sent the email.

We can't let our plastic brothers beat us to it!

'Where did this King Lingxiao come from? He actually offered a bounty on all enemy forces on land, number 006, for those who held the rank of Marquis or higher?'

The burly man muttered in disbelief.

The burly man subconsciously assumed that Lu Jin was a newly appointed Immortal King, since they dared to offer a reward even for a low-level Immortal King.

"Fuck——"

The next moment, the sound of some kind of plant could be heard continuously in the restaurant.

Clearly, with the aid of intelligent reminders, many immortals received the bounty message from their fellow faction's 'Lingxiao'.

Seeing the high bounty on the coordinates, many immortals quickly took action.

In an instant, the coordinates of a large number of powerful non-human factions were sent to Lu Jin's 'Lingxiao' account email address.

For someone who has achieved the title of Marquis and Immortal, 100,000 Chaos Units is indeed not a large number.

However, on land 006, there are quite a few Immortal Army Lords who know the Immortal positions of the opposing faction.

If they're lucky, they might land a huge sum of money, more than their entire fortune.

Moreover, the 10 mixed-element units offered as a reward are only for the coordinates of the initial-level Marquis title.

The stronger the target, the higher the bounty for the coordinates. The bounty for the coordinates of a newly crowned Immortal is as high as 300 million Mixed Yuan Units.

Of course, getting the bounty depends on having enough luck.

When the 'Lingxiao King' arrived at the coordinates he had sent, the target was still there, and he was the first to send those coordinates.
