Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 198 Countless Exits, Blocked

The heavy armor generally has the effect of reducing physical attacks to one percent, making Nan Cheng's immortal divine body, although not large, extremely durable.

In addition, the defensive capabilities of the Heavy Treasure Armor itself far surpass those of G-grade armor.

This means that the time required for 'The Moon Rising Over the Sea' to completely obliterate the Immortal Body of Nan Cheng is at least several thousand times, nearly ten thousand times, that of an ordinary god body at the peak of the King-level realm, which is more than ten meters tall.

In other words, Nan Cheng is only skilled in approaching the level of a King-level Invincible being through the soul, rather than being skilled in physical attacks.

Otherwise, he could have easily escaped like the invincible golden Behemoth he encountered when he used the Fourth Heaven Realm as a fishing ground, by forcibly breaking free from the shackles of the top-level domain treasure with his powerful weapons and peak secret techniques.

"Come in you!"

With a thought, Lu Jin conjured up the supreme palace treasure, the Azure Heaven and Yellow Springs Palace, and flew towards the Immortal Mother Empress Nan Cheng.

Although Nan Cheng possessed a powerful armor, and was trapped by the Azure Netherworld Domain formed by the Azure Netherworld Pearl, it would not be something that could be accomplished in a short time to completely obliterate the opponent's divine body.

Compared to forcibly erasing her, it would definitely be faster to capture her and imprison her in a palace filled with precious treasures, forcing her to self-destruct.

"Human King Lingxiao, I will remember you."

Seeing the palace-like treasures flying towards him, and realizing that King Lingxiao intended to suppress him, a ruthless glint flashed in Nan Cheng's eyes.

After uttering a harsh statement, accompanied by a chilling aura, Nan Cheng unsurprisingly self-destructed his divine body.

Bound by the domain's most precious treasure, she had no way to escape.

In addition, the Lingxiao King's enslavement technique is very powerful, and he might be able to enslave her. Nan Cheng, who has no soul treasure to protect her, dares not delay any longer, knowing that defeat is inevitable, lest she become a soul slave.

"Bam—"

The next moment, a terrifying energy surge suddenly appeared from within the Azure Heaven and Yellow Springs Domain, causing the boundless, dark blue water to violently tremble and churn.

However, the terrifying power generated by the self-destruction of a near-invincible king was continuously dissipated by the boundless blue water flow within the Azure Netherworld Domain, and the terrifying power was completely neutralized.

"Whoosh!"

With a wave of his hand, Lu Jin retrieved the only remaining treasured armor that Nan Cheng had acquired after his self-destruction.

At this moment, a fierce battle was raging throughout the void passage.

The human faction, consisting of nearly 30,000 Kings, led by the Seven Sword Kings and many other Kings at their limit, was divided into more than a dozen large and small formations, adopting a relatively conservative fighting style to contain the enemy.

Of the twenty demon servants under Lu Jin whose strength was close to that of a King-level invincible being, seventeen were currently hunting down King-level beings from the three races.

Of the remaining three demon servants, King Mengsha faced off against King Jinren from the demon faction, while King Yinyan faced off against King Mingyun from the mechanical faction.

Even though both King Golden Blade and King Destiny had many allied kings assisting them, with the help of the domain treasures, King Meng Sha and King Yin Yan not only did not fall into a disadvantageous position, but instead suppressed King Golden Blade and King Destiny.

Ice Dream King, who was blocking the door with his domain's most precious treasure, looked the most miserable.

The entire void passage had long been sealed off by a large number of peak-level and ultimate-level space-side kings in the battlefield, making it impossible to leave through the divine kingdom teleportation.

The human race's twenty-odd near-invincible powerhouses were carrying out a massacre; their only chance of survival was to find an exit.

But the exit was blocked by the Ice Dream King, so how could the Ice Dream King not be targeted by them?
Fortunately, Lu Jin gave Ice Dream King a powerful domain treasure. The boundless flow of extremely cold water spread across tens of millions of kilometers. Even when facing attacks from at least tens of thousands of kings from the three races, Ice Dream King remained unmoved.

Aside from a few soul attacks that can be effective against her, most attacks are ineffective against her.

At most, it's just a material attack formed by a secret technique activated at the limit of a King-level expert. How could it possibly affect a near-invincible King-level expert who is wearing a treasured armor and has activated a domain treasure?
As for soul attacks, the Ice Dream King, as the controller, possesses ten times the genetic power and 30 soul amplitude. Even without soul treasures, he is still beyond the reach of a soul master at the limit of the King level.

On the contrary, outside the extremely cold water flow, the three factions of the three races, numbering over ten thousand, focused their attacks on the Ice Dream King from three different locations. They were continuously killed by the nine icy blue streams of light that traversed the void, controlled by the Ice Dream King.

A master who is close to being invincible at the King level, burning divine power to control a powerful psychic weapon, capable of instantly killing ordinary high-level Kings.

It can be said that unless one understands the concept of combined attacks, quantity can hardly make up for the gap in quality.

However, it's clear that the Zerg and Demon factions' numerous kings are out of the question when it comes to things like combined legion attacks.

In comparison, the Mech faction is stronger, but this is only true for a small number of Mech-born kings.

"Shh!"

Having dealt with Nan Cheng, Lu Jin once again activated the secret runes on the third pair of Azure Heaven Wings, teleporting towards the mechanical race camp that was focusing their attacks on Ice Dream King.

Although the entire void battlefield has been sealed off by space, the profound mystery of the incomplete spatial laws cannot restrain the Azure Netherworld Wings, whose quality is comparable to ordinary supreme treasures.

This is similar to the spatial blockade at the peak of the King-level realm, which cannot restrict a Universe Venerable from teleporting.

Of course, this is just an analogy. Even with the Wings of the Netherworld, he is still far inferior to the Universe Venerable in terms of teleportation and sealing.

"The moon rises over the sea!"

Using the Azure Sky Wings, he teleported instantly, and the eerie blue waters and illusory ocean that covered an area of ​​30 million square kilometers reappeared.

Not only were the kings of the mechanical race included, but also some kings of the insectoid and demon races on the side were also included.

As the huge, bright moon rose, countless drops of cool moonlight fell.

The terrifying power was unleashed, instantly annihilating tens of millions of mechanical puppets under the command of dozens of mechanical race kings, as well as nearly a hundred mechanical race novice kings in the central area of ​​the illusory sea.

The high-ranking and above immortals within the illusory sea, as well as the low-ranking immortals at the edge, also inevitably suffer the fate of having their divine bodies and powers rapidly eroded.

Being trapped within the domain's treasure area, unable to escape in time, and forced to watch helplessly as one's divine body is rapidly obliterated—this feeling is undoubtedly the most despairing.

"No!"

As time passed, accompanied by roars of resentment, alien kings continued to fall within the area enveloped by the illusory sea.

"Boom boom boom——"

Throughout the entire void passage battlefield, violent roars echoed continuously, not only as Lu Jin efficiently slaughtered the alien kings of the three races.

Aside from facing off against the Demon King Golden Blade, the Mechanical King Deathfall, and the Demon King and Silver Nightmare King whom they were unable to defeat for the time being, the other eighteen demon servants were also efficiently slaughtering the kings of the three races.

With strength approaching that of an invincible king, he killed mostly high-level kings from the three factions, with a few low-level, peak, and extreme kings mixed in. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was like a tiger among sheep.

For those at the higher and lower levels of the King-level rank, unless their divine bodies are particularly large, they can basically be defeated with a single secret technique.

If it is a controller who uses area-of-effect attacks, it may not be able to kill a high-level King in one hit, but it is enough to severely injure him.

In addition, with a large number of powerful weapons at their disposal, their killing efficiency is unmatched by other non-martial arts type demon servants.

Moreover, all the demon servants are equipped with heavy armor that can reduce the physical attacks they receive to one percent. In addition, their divine bodies are not small, so they are not afraid even if they are besieged by kings.

It's no exaggeration to say that even if they stood still and let the ultimate immortals fight them, they could hold out for a very long time.

Not to mention that they all carried a lot of divine essence liquid that can quickly restore damaged divine bodies for this battle.

In addition, the numerous human kings, led by the Seven Sword Kings and a group of human kings at the limit, also did not stand idly by.

In particular, the Seven Sword King is a near-invincible master who wields seven powerful swords with divine power. Every time the sword light flashes, a high-ranking master from one of the three races falls or is severely injured.

"boom--"

Within the endless golden light domain, two golden Behemoths, each nine kilometers tall, were fiercely battling. With a slam of their giant claws, one of the Behemoths, whose form was greatly restricted by the surrounding golden light, was sent flying.

'hateful! ’

"I cursed under my breath as I was sent flying by the giant claw of the Demon King."

Both were close to being invincible kings, and in the past, in terms of strength, he was even slightly better than King Mengsha.

Unexpectedly, after his junior brother, Meng Sha Wang, was enslaved by the human Ling Xiao Wang, the gap between the two was wiped out, and Meng Sha Wang even became slightly better than him.

Furthermore, the restrictions imposed on his physique by the domain treasure left him with no choice but to take a beating.

At this moment, King Jinren had already made up his mind that if King Lingxiao did not come to deal with him, he would continue to fight and exhaust King Mengsha's divine power.

But if the King of Lingxiao comes to deal with him, he will not hesitate to self-destruct his divine body to avoid becoming the other party's soul slave.

On the other side, the near-king-level invincible powerhouse, the Death King, of the Mechanical Race is in a similar situation.

Even during the battle, the Fallen King, together with other mechanical race kings, pulled out the trump card: the 'Disintegration Tower'.

Unfortunately, the Decomposition Tower, a technological weapon whose value is no less than that of ordinary treasures, emits energy rays rather than an invisible and intangible soul attack, making it almost completely countered by domain treasures.

The defensive capabilities of a domain treasure are far inferior to those of a treasure armor of the same level, but it is not an easy task for a physical attack to tear through the domain formed after the domain treasure is activated.

Moreover, within the range of the domain treasure, the numerous branch towers of the Decomposition Tower also experience significant energy loss during the process of transferring energy to the main tower in the hands of the Fallen King.

The lack of energy attack significantly reduced the power unleashed by the Disintegration Tower.

The energy rays that erupted, after being blocked by the domain's treasures, finally struck the Silver Nightmare King, who was wearing the treasured armor, but they posed no fatal threat to him.

After the attack, the Destruction Tower of the Fallen King was destroyed.

It's not that the Disintegration Tower can only unleash one attack, but rather that the Silver Nightmare King didn't give the Fallen King and the mechanical race kings another chance to unleash their attacks.

Within the range of the domain treasure's effect, even the Death King was no match for him, so how could those mechanical race kings whose movements were severely restricted stop him?

Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, the Silver Nightmare King charged in and destroyed the dismantling towers held by hundreds of mechanical race kings in no time.

Without the numerous branch towers, the only main tower in the hands of the Fallen King is merely a toy with decent power, but far from posing a threat to him.

The King of Destiny knew that against the Silver Nightmare King, who possessed both offensive and defensive treasures and domain treasures, his demise was only a matter of time.

However, he did not share the concerns of Nan Cheng and Jin Ren Wang.

The members of the Machine Race all evolved from intelligent life forms and have no souls, so they are not afraid of soul enslavement.

Although death is inevitable sooner or later, it's good to cause some trouble for the human Lingxiao King.

As for reinforcements?

Unless an invincible king is willing to lend a helping hand, there will be no reinforcements.

Just considering King Lingxiao and his servants alone, there are twenty-one combatants with near-invincible king-level strength, plus a total of six domain-level treasures. With such a lineup, even if a few more near-invincible king-level reinforcements came, it wouldn't make a difference.

Even if only an invincible king were to arrive, there is still a possibility of his demise.

There's no need to even think about sending immortal-level reinforcements; they'd be throwing their lives away, so they definitely wouldn't come.

As for the Cosmic Venerables, unless they are Cosmic Venerables who cannot be killed by the Lord of the Universe, or top-tier Cosmic Overlords who possess the secret technique of creating clones, no Cosmic Venerable would dare to violate the rules of the Extraterritorial Battlefield.

The ruler of the universe might be a possibility, but such a great being would not take a mere immortal god seriously.

As long as it's not large-scale enslavement, but simply killing, the great beings won't care no matter how many are killed.

"Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!"

Just then, the void trembled, and thousands of exit channels appeared throughout the void battlefield.

Some of these thousands of exits are within the range of the six powerful domain treasures possessed by Lu Jin and the five demon servants, including Meng Sha Wang.

However, most of them are outside the scope of the six domain treasures.

"Seven Swords, take men and block them."

Upon noticing the appearance of countless exits, Lu Jin immediately addressed the Seven Sword King in the temporary virtual universe conference hall.

"Leave it to us."

The Seven Swords King nodded.

One of the unique mechanisms of the Star Tower is its myriad exits.

Each void passage connects to the exit of the forbidden area. Normally there would only be one, but now it has been blocked by the Ice Dream King, who is carrying a domain treasure.

But when Zhenfeng Xingchen was born, the situation changed drastically.

If the killing goes too far, countless exits will appear in the void passage, each corresponding to a different forbidden space.

This is also the main reason why Lu Jin had the Seven Sword Kings lead many of the human race's kings to assist him.

Otherwise, if there were only one exit route, he wouldn't need any other helpers at all.

With just himself and twenty demon servants who were nearly invincible at the King level, he could wipe out more than 90,000 enemy Kings present.

"Countless exits!"

"Haha~, it's finally here!"

"Everyone, spread out and don't crowd together!"

"Lingxiao King, you mad dog of the human race, today your servant killed my brother. Don't let my elder brother ever run into you again!"

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

Upon seeing the thousands of exits appear, the nearly 70,000 kings of the three races who had survived in the void passage were overjoyed and quickly transformed into streaks of light, flying towards the various exits at high speed.

However, the nearly 30,000 kings of the human race, who were well-prepared, were a step ahead of them, forming more than 200 small teams of more than ten people each, and rushed to the various exit passages that were not covered by the six domain treasures.

Early in the war, many of the human faction's kings had already secretly divided into small teams, knowing their roles in the war.

As long as the three factions can hold off the kings from their respective camps, they will undoubtedly reap the benefits after the war.

Because Lu Jin only wanted the treasures carried by the more than 90,000 kings of the three races present, the rest of the spoils of war and the newly born sealing star were all handed over to the Seven Sword Kings and nearly 30,000 kings of the human race, to be distributed according to their wartime contributions.

"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

Seeing that the exits were blocked by the Kings of the Human race, the peak and limit Kings of the Insect, Demon, and Mechanical races erupted, burning their divine power in an attempt to force their way through.

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

Apart from the five demons under Lu Jin's command who used their domain treasures to block half of the exit passage, the remaining fifteen demon servants temporarily stopped their indiscriminate hunting.

If the interception line at a certain exit is in imminent danger, then head towards that exit.

Theoretically speaking, nearly 30,000 members of the race faction who are crowned kings should be able to restrain less than 70,000 members of the three race factions who are crowned kings, without seeking to kill them.

But theory is theory, and reality is reality.

The human faction that blocks the exit passages will be granted the title of King. Since every exit passage needs to be blocked, on average, only a dozen or so Kings will be granted the title of King for each exit passage.

However, the three factions that force their way through the exit passage and are crowned kings can freely form groups.

Currently, there are quite a few leaders who have reached the pinnacle of their power, forming groups of hundreds or even thousands of kings to force their way through.

In this situation, it is absolutely necessary for a demon servant with power approaching that of an invincible king to come and put out the fire.

Otherwise, the dozen or so kings of the human faction wouldn't be able to block this exit passage under the concentrated fire of hundreds of kings.

Fortunately, the pressure is only temporary.

On the human side, there is Lu Jin, as well as the Seven Swords King, Ice Dream King, Ice Jade King, and other controllers with near-invincible king-level strength, all of whom can efficiently hunt down king-level figures from the three races.

Every minute, many kings from the three factions perish.

As time goes on, the pressure on the human faction leaders who are blocking the exit routes will gradually decrease.

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

A violent roar continued to resound, the void trembled and shattered, turning into a torrent of tiny fragments.

Each seemingly precarious defensive line was saved thanks to the timely intervention of many demon servants under Lu Jin, whose strength was close to that of an invincible king.

As time passed, the number of kings from the three factions within the void passage continued to decrease.

Although Lu Jin's strength was not the strongest among those present.

However, due to the fact that the Azure Heaven Pearl set is a top-tier treasure, the coverage of the immortal peak secret technique "Rising Moon Over the Sea" has been expanded to a radius of 30 million kilometers, which makes Lu Jin the undisputed MVP of the battlefield.

To date, the number of kings from the three races who have fallen under the rising moon over the sea has reached tens of thousands, including the former strongest member of the Zerg faction, the Immortal Queen Nan Cheng.

Regardless of the number or quality of kills, Lu Jin had the highest kill count among those present.

Of course, while maintaining the secret technique of "Rising Moon Over the Sea" to slaughter the three races and establish their kingship, Lu Jin also kept an eye on the entire battlefield.

The human faction's defensive line, consisting of nearly 30,000 kings, was not invincible.

If even one powerful King-level expert wielding a powerful weapon were to emerge, it would be enough to tear through a defensive line composed of only a dozen or so human King-level experts.

However, just because the enemy breaks through the defense line doesn't mean they can escape smoothly.

The other end of the exit passage is a restricted area; it's not like the exit passage will close just because someone has gone through it.

As long as demon servants catch up in time and don't give the opponent a chance to escape via divine kingdom teleportation, they won't be able to escape either.

As for the fifty to sixty thousand alien kings among the three races present, are there any kings with great treasures at the limit?

There are definitely some. Even excluding those with powerful descendants who have been blessed by their elders, there are still plenty of lucky people in the universe.

Given the sheer number of participants, it's not surprising that a very small number of those who reach the pinnacle of the King realm will obtain such treasures, or even those who reach the peak of the King realm.

"Roar!"

At this moment, in front of an exit passage, a peak-level alien beast, nearly a hundred meters long, covered with dark red scales, with a single horn on its head, thick limbs, and a long tail with three scales, which had been breaking through the defense line along with dozens of other beast-like alien kings, erupted.

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

A strong crimson light emanated from the limbs and claws of the dark red beast. The powerful aura of the treasure surged forth, and secret techniques were continuously activated, directly forcing back the dozen or so high-level and peak-level immortals of the human faction who were blocking the exit passage.

"Whoosh!"

However, just as the dark red-scaled beast forced back the interceptors and was about to rush into the entrance and exit passage, a demon servant flew in at lightning speed and blocked the exit passage, cutting off the dark red-scaled beast's path to survival.

It's not a big deal if a few kings escape, but a king from one of the three factions who possesses a great treasure is someone you absolutely cannot let go.

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

It was merely a powerful weapon, not a powerful suit of armor. Compared to a demon servant with near-invincible king-level strength, this dark red scaled beast was no stronger or harder to kill than an ordinary peak king-level being with a hundred-meter divine body.

After all, powerful weapons only provide stronger attacks, not stronger defenses.

Aside from using its own attack techniques to offset some of the power of the demon servant's techniques, it doesn't bring about any fundamental change; what it can't defeat, it still can't defeat.

"boom--"

A terrifying crimson energy sphere suddenly appeared, instantly sweeping across an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

The dark red-scaled beast, whose divine body was severely damaged and whose aura had weakened to less than 30% of its original strength, directly self-destructed the rest of its divine body.

It's better to fall than to be beaten into a deep sleep and ultimately become someone else's soul slave.

Moreover, as a peak immortal king, with a great cosmic lord in the clan, there is still a chance for resurrection in the future.

Although lucky ones are few, they do exist nonetheless.

In the Void Passage battlefield, besides the Zerg's Immortal Queen Nan Cheng, the Demon Clan's Golden Blade King, and the Mechanical Clan's Lifefall King, there are many other factions among the three races that possess powerful treasures, not just this dark red scaled beast that has already self-destructed.

In the ensuing battle, there were those who considered using their most valuable treasures to force their way through the exit passage defenses.

Some even managed to break through the defenses and pass through the exit passage using their powerful weapons.

In the end, they were either directly blocked and killed on the spot by Lu Jin's demon servants, or they were chased to the corresponding forbidden space of the exit passage and killed in time to bring back the treasure.

At least on the battlefield, none of the three factions that revealed they were carrying valuable treasures could escape.
