Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 199 Water and Sky Beast God Inheritance Order

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that among the three factions' kings who successfully broke through the import and export channels and escaped in time via the divine kingdom's teleportation, some might be carrying valuable treasures.

However, Lu Jin didn't care. If they ran away, so be it. This time, more than 90,000 people from the three races were crowned kings. As long as 90% of them could stay, it would be considered a perfect outcome.

If he could wipe out 80,000 to 90,000 Kings from the three opposing races in one battle, it would definitely be enough for the higher-ups of the Virtual Universe Company to feel that the Water and Sky Beast God Inheritance Token that Teacher Tian Shuang had applied for for him should rightfully belong to him.

That's right. The reason why Lu Jin wanted to pull off a big heist this time was not only because he was itching to fight, but also because it was a battle to prove his own strength.

The Beast God Inheritance Token is more valuable than ordinary treasures, and even the invincible king cannot guarantee obtaining it.

If you don't have the corresponding achievements to prove that you are qualified, you will inevitably be gossiped about behind your back.

Lu Jin himself didn't care about this, but he didn't want his teacher to lose face.

As for revealing that he was the one who exposed Lingxiao King?

The Water and Sky Beast God Inheritance Order that Teacher Tianshuang applied for for him was applied for from the Virtual Universe Company, not from the entire human race.

Only the top executives of Virtual Universe Company knew about this.

And which of the executives at Virtual Universe Company wouldn't know that he is Lingxiao Wang?
"boom--"

Within the golden light domain covering tens of millions of kilometers, a muffled roar suddenly appeared, causing the golden light domain to tremble violently.

With the self-destruction of the Mech King, the great battle in the void passage finally came to a complete end.

The Golden Blade King of the Demon Clan?

This fellow was no match for the Demon King, who possessed a powerful domain treasure. Upon seeing Lu Jin, who was skilled in enslavement techniques, join the battle, the Golden Blade King did not hesitate to self-destruct.

As a powerful figure who is close to being invincible and destined to become a king, he is absolutely qualified to be included in the list of resurrected demons.

Lacking any spiritual treasures, the Golden Blade King would not harbor any illusions when facing Lu Jin, a powerful figure close to the invincible King.

He would rather self-destruct his divine body, abandoning his precious armor and claws, than follow in the footsteps of his junior brother, Meng Sha Wang.

The Mechanoid King, who was born into the mechanical race and had no soul, had no such concerns. He fought to the very last moment, and only self-destructed when he was about to fall into a deep sleep.

The power of the world, disguised as ethereal divine power, surged forth. After putting away the precious armor left behind by the Fallen King after his self-destruction, Lu Jin looked around at the void passage battlefield where the battle had completely subsided and nodded in satisfaction.

"Ling Xiao, I believe that after this battle, the name of King Ling Xiao will strike fear into the hearts of all the alien immortals. However, you must be careful in the future."

At this moment, the Seven Swords King arrived from the sky and said to Lu Jin with a smile.

The emergence of the Zhenfeng Star has gathered over 120,000 Kings from various races, with the insect, demon, and mechanical races alone accounting for over 90,000 Kings. Among them, approximately 90% are high-level or higher immortals.

Of the more than 90,000 kings from the three races, less than 1,000 managed to escape alive; the rest perished in the void passage battlefield.

In particular, the three leaders of the three races—the Immortal Mother Queen Nan Cheng, the Demon Race Golden Blade King, and the Mechanical Race Lifefall King—are all undoubtedly among them.

With such a record, besides being invincible as a king, which immortal god would not fear Lingxiao King?
Similarly, with such a prestigious title as King Lingxiao, there are naturally some side effects.

Without further ado, both the Zerg and Mech factions will undoubtedly post faction bounties against King Lingxiao.

The bounty offered by the demon faction will inevitably be increased.

"Haha~"

Lu Jin smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's just an empty reputation. Compared to that big shot on the Twilight Continent in the Fifth Extraterrestrial Battlefield a few years ago, I'm still far behind."

The Time Dragon's clone used numerous treasures and the Fourth Heaven as a fishing ground to kill millions of immortals in one fell swoop, including nearly 200,000 who were crowned kings, and the vast majority of them could not be resurrected by reversing time.

At present, King Lingxiao has only slaughtered a little over 90,000 princes with a group of demon servants, which is really nothing.

There is a big difference between simply falling into oblivion and becoming a slave to a soul; the former attracts far less hatred than the latter.

"Tsk~"

The Seven Swords King clicked his tongue, his gaze subtly shifting to the twenty demon servants of the Demon King behind Lu Jin, who had transformed back into human form.

Twenty demon servants who are nearly invincible and destined to become kings—what a grand gesture!

Moreover, having traversed battlefields beyond the realm for many years, he recognized more than half of the twenty demon servants before him.

However, in his memory, apart from King Mengsha, King Yinyan, and King Bingbi, the dozen or so demon servants he knew were originally only at the limit of the King level.

After being taken in by Ling Xiao as soul servants, they not only improved their strength, but were also equipped with precious armor and weapons, and some even used domain treasures.

Those who knew him, being a king of a different race, all said he was a nouveau riche, but in the eyes of the Seven Swords King, the Lingxiao King, who was also of human origin, was far more extravagant than him.

The treasures carried by these twenty demon servants alone exceeded his entire fortune.

Lu Jin glanced at the Zhenfeng Star that had already appeared in the distant void and said, "Seven Swords, you can handle the Zhenfeng Star and the remaining spoils. I'll be leaving now."

"Okay, let's work together again in the future."

The Seven Swords King cupped his hands in greeting.

This battle annihilated 90,000 kings from the insect, demon, and mechanical races, although the main force consisted of Ling Xiao and his twenty demon servants.

However, as the biggest ally and the leader of many human factions to be crowned kings, he also reaped huge benefits.

It wasn't the sealing of the stars or the spoils of war he received after winning, but rather the greater importance placed on him by his teacher and the higher-ups at the Giant Axe Arena.

With this achievement, his teacher, Lord Lanzang, will surely strive to secure more resources for him in the Giant Axe Arena and even within his clan.

"must!"

After nodding and bowing in return, Lu Jin turned to look at Meng Sha Wang beside him.

Soon, the divine kingdom teleportation light shone, and Lu Jin and his group of demon servants disappeared into the void passage of the Star Tower.

During the previous great battle, a large number of immortals at the peak of the spatial realm and above used the profound mystery of spatial sealing to restrict the teleportation of the divine kingdom.

But by this time the great war had ended, the spatial blockade had been lifted, and the teleportation of the divine kingdom was no longer restricted.

Through teleportation from the divine kingdom, Lu Jin soon returned to Zi Ni Chang's divine kingdom.

Inside the Hall of Time.

"Ni Chang, assess the value of these fifteen treasures based on their treasure points."

As Lu Jin spoke, six sets of precious armor and nine different kinds of precious weapons appeared in front of him.

They were quite lucky, acquiring quite a few treasures this time. One of the treasures, a suit of armor, even dropped from a high-ranking immortal of the Zerg faction.

However, their luck wasn't great either; they were all just minor treasures, not supreme treasures, and all of them were weapons and armor of relatively low value. There were no soul-type, domain-type, or palace-type treasures whose value could be calculated at a higher level.

"They are all ordinary treasures. If we evaluate them according to the standards of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion, they would be worth about 36 treasure points."

After examining them, Zi Nishang gave a total valuation of the fifteen treasures.

"36 treasure points? A bunch of poor bastards~"

Lu Jin pursed his lips and asked Fatty, "Fatty, how many military merits do you have?"

Fatty reported: "Master, in this great battle, you and your twenty demon servants killed a total of 8123 early-stage King-level Immortals, 67913 high-stage King-level Immortals, and 9165 peak-stage King-level and above Immortals from the three races."

The demon servant's spoils are all attributed to you.

Because some of the kills were achieved through cooperative kills, the actual military merits gained were not as high, but they still exceeded 1523 trillion.

Over 150 trillion military merits, if converted into virtual universe company points, would amount to over 150 trillion points.

Even if Virtual Universe Company points can be exchanged for Treasure Points without any threshold, it will only amount to 15 Treasure Points.

After slaughtering 90,000 Immortal Kings, primarily at the high-level King rank, the military merits gained, along with fifteen treasures, amounted to a mere fifty-odd treasure points—not even enough to buy a single component of the Azure Heaven and Yellow Springs Armor Set.

Sure enough, no matter how many poor people you kill, you can't get rich overnight.

Meanwhile, after the great battle inside the Star Tower ended, a piece of news shocked the entire extraterrestrial battlefield.

—【The seventh extraterrestrial battlefield, the Star Tower region, is where the sealed star was born, and more than 120,000 members of the four races have gathered to be crowned kings.

The Human King Lingxiao, leading his many demon servants, along with the Seven Sword Kings of the Human Race and nearly 30,000 Human Kings, killed over 90,000 Kings from the Insect, Demon, and Mechanical races in a single battle.

The Immortal Mother Empress Nan Cheng, the Demon Clan's Golden Blade King, and the Mechanical Clan's Life-Destroying King—these three near-invincible kings—have all perished.

"it is good!"

"Wonderful!"

"I knew this big shot was someone who couldn't stand being alone!"

"After slaughtering 90,000 members of the three races in one battle and being granted the title of King, could it be that our human race has produced another invincible King?"

"It seems that King Lingxiao did not use the enslavement technique in this battle. If we disregard the enslavement technique, I estimate that he was still a bit lacking, but he is close to being invincible as a king."

"Haha~, I'm not bragging, but in terms of sheer slaughter, unless it's an extremely heaven-defying, invincible king, it's definitely no match for King Lingxiao."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"I witnessed it with my own eyes. As soon as the Lingxiao King used his secret technique, the ocean descended and the bright moon rose. The secret technique directly covered a range of 30 million kilometers. Not long after the start, it crushed and destroyed the Zerg's Nancheng Immortal Mother Nest."

Even at the very edge of that Bright Moon Secret Technique, an ordinary newly-established King would have their divine body reduced to ashes in an instant. Tell me, which invincible King could be so outrageously powerful?

"Goodness gracious! Not just invincible as a king, but even more invincible as a king?"

The news sparked heated discussions among countless immortals within the human faction.

The name of King Lingxiao, which was originally only circulated within the human race, immediately spread widely among the immortal circles of the eleven extraterrestrial battlefields.

Meanwhile, the three factions that were the victims also took action.

The Zerg and Mech factions acted in unison, offering bounties for killing members of their own faction (two treasures each) and members of their own race (four treasures) to the Terran King Lingxiao.

Furthermore, in the assassination rankings within both the Zerg and Mech races, Lingxiao King directly topped the list.

It is also worth mentioning that the fourth-ranked assassin on the Zerg assassination list and the fifth-ranked assassin on the Mech assassination list are both Lu Jin, a member of the Virtual Universe Company's Primal Secret Realm at the World Lord level.

As for the demon race faction, the original faction bounty has been doubled, directly upgraded to a supreme treasure.

In addition, the demon race camp also issued a statement.

—【The Human King Lingxiao possesses a set of psychic weapon treasures comparable to supreme treasures, a set of armor and wings treasures comparable to supreme treasures, a top-level domain treasure, plus soul-type and palace-type treasures of unknown grade.

In addition, King Lingxiao possesses numerous soul servants, as well as no fewer than twenty pieces of treasured armor and weapons, and five domain-specific treasures.

Instantly, countless immortals from the four factions of the extraterritorial battlefield erupted in jubilation.

King Lingxiao actually possesses at least three treasures that are more valuable than priceless treasures.
Moreover, as long as you kill King Lingxiao, you will not only obtain these three treasures that are comparable to supreme treasures, but also a supreme treasure that the demon race has offered as a reward.

Let alone immortal gods, most cosmic venerables would be tempted.

The Universe Venerable cannot enter the outer battlefield, but he can intercept and kill Lingxiao King outside the outer battlefield, right?

In an instant, numerous cosmic beings throughout the primordial universe, having learned of this news, began searching for the whereabouts of the Lingxiao King. 'Hmph~, that little devil is still up to his old tricks, actually spreading rumors that I'm the treasure-hunting boss!'

Upon hearing this news, Lu Jin cursed inwardly.

However, Lu Jin was not worried. If the Universe Venerable wanted to kill him, it would not be an easy task.

Once outside the outer battlefield, it's true that the Universe Venerable can take action against him, but he also has trump cards that he can't use inside the outer battlefield.

Examples include the Great Summoning Spell (Purple Rainbow), a Venerable-level plant life form, and the Shenzhou spaceship, which he named H-level.

At this moment, Fatty's voice rang out: "Master, your teacher, the Lord of the Frost Kingdom, sent an email saying that you need to go to his Frost Temple in the real world."

Raising an eyebrow, Lu Jin said, "Reply to the teacher, I will be there soon."

In the magnificent starry sky of the Heavenly Frost Universe Kingdom, a palace complex stretching for tens of millions of kilometers floats.

In the center, inside the Frost God Temple.

"The disciple has met the teacher."

Lu Jin bowed and said.

"Indeed, this time at the Star Tower, the Human King Lingxiao has demonstrated the might of our human race."

The King of Tianshuang said with a look of satisfaction.

The outside world only knows that King Lingxiao is an immortal king, but they are unaware that King Lingxiao is only a realm lord, and a realm lord who has only cultivated in the original universe for a little over a hundred years.

It's only because Lu Jin is his disciple that the Heavenly Frost King would never have imagined that the Lingxiao King, who slaughtered 90,000 kings in one battle, was merely a Realm Lord.

Then, the King of Tianshuang flipped his hand, and a palm-sized, hexagonal blue token flew to Lu Jin's front.

The hexagonal token was engraved with an image of a blue-gold four-hoofed beast, identical to the statue of the Water Beast God, only differing in its specific posture.

The Heavenly Frost King said, "With the Guanghan Venerable crafting treasures for you, there's not much I can do to help you. This is the Water and Sky Beast God Inheritance Token. You can find out how to get to the Ancestral God Sect by infiltrating your mental power."

"Thank you teacher."

After receiving the Inheritance Token from the Water and Sky Beast God, Lu Jin bowed once more.

"When you go to the Ancestral God Sect, remember to keep a low profile. It would be best to let the Underworld King receive the inheritance."

Otherwise, with at least three treasures of unparalleled value, even a cosmic overlord wouldn't hesitate to make a quick buck, let alone an ordinary cosmic venerable.

The King of Tianshuang Kingdom said with a serious expression.

And you know what? It's just that Lu Jin is of human origin and is also his personal disciple.

Otherwise, in the eyes of the Heavenly Frost King, the treasures on Lu Jin's body were definitely "destined" for him.

Even a cosmic overlord with an extraordinary background and a collection of treasures that are among the best in his class is like this, let alone a cosmic overlord with no background and mediocre treasures.

"Disciple, please remember this."

Lu Jin nodded.

Actually, even without his own teacher saying it, he wouldn't have gone to the Ancestral God Cult in his true form.

The Ancestral God Cult's biggest backer is the original will of the primordial universe, and the special life forms are the most favored offspring of the original will of the primordial universe.

Given that all aspects are roughly equal, the Ancestral God Cult will definitely give more preferential treatment to special life forms than to humans.

Lu Jin was certain that the gains from the Water Kirin clone's trip to the Ancestral God Sect would be greater than those from the main body's trip.

"By the way, how many clones do you have?"

The King of Tianshuang asked with a look of inquiry.

When he first accepted Lu Jin as his disciple, the King of Tianshuang thought that Lu Jin was just an avatar.

But after seeing the battle video of the infamous madman 'Demon Slayer' from the outer battlefield, the King of Tianshuang Kingdom changed his mind.

That immortal-level peak secret technique, 'Water and Sky in One Color', others might not recognize it, but how could he not?

His own teacher was no outsider, and since clones and avatars were not his core secrets, Lu Jin had no intention of hiding anything and said directly, "I have three clones and many avatars."

"???"

The King of Tianshuang Kingdom was stunned, somewhat bewildered.

Lu Jin said, "The Demon Slayer Marquis on the extraterritorial battlefield is an avatar formed by my clone named Netherworld Blood Sea."

The more avatars that split off, the weaker each individual avatar becomes; conversely, the fewer the avatars, the stronger each individual avatar becomes. This explains why the strength of avatars can fluctuate.

'The Netherworld Blood Sea?'

The King of Tianshuang raised an eyebrow.

Since it has the word 'sea' in its name, it must be very large, right?
"Before you become the universe, never expose that Netherworld Blood Sea clone. This clone should never be exposed."

"If you keep killing at this rate, my human race will never dare to admit that the Demon Slayer is a member of our race."

As he spoke, the King of Tianshuang couldn't help but tease him.

The Heavenly Frost King had a premonition that Lu Jin's 'Demon-Slaying Clone' would likely become a universal enemy like the Blood Cloud Palace Master in the future.

"Disciple knows."

Lu Jin nodded.

He naturally wouldn't reveal the fact that he was the incarnation of the Blood God to the outside world.

However, among the main body and the three avatars, the one who attracted the most hatred was not the Blood God Child incarnation, but the Time Dragon avatar who plotted and killed millions of immortal beasts.

After all, the Blood God's avatar is not very strong, and time is limited. So far, the damage it has caused is far less than that of the Time Dragon's clone.

"I saw that the Heavenly Craft Pavilion in the Hong Alliance was endlessly acquiring the corpses of Universe Venerables."

As the controller, I have some knowledge of soul attacks. Here are the corpses of hundreds of cosmic venerables, all killed by me in the past. They're yours."

As he spoke, the King of Tianshuang tossed a world ring to Lu Jin.

'Hundreds?'

Lu Jin's eyes lit up, and he quickly accepted the world ring: "Disciple thanks teacher!"

There are over a hundred corpses of cosmic venerables. Even if they are all antique collections, there must be some that were not resurrected by reversing time.

'Why does it seem like these corpses make this kid happier than the Beast God's Inheritance Token?'

The King of Tianshuang couldn't help but complain inwardly, feeling that his disciple's little quirk was a bit too much.

But I didn't pay much attention to it. After all, it's inevitable that geniuses think differently from ordinary people.

Furthermore, the Tiangong Pavilion, which collects the corpses, has stated publicly that the bodies are used for research on life genes.

The Heavenly Frost King speculated that Lu Jin's life gene was so incredibly strong that it was probably due to some kind of inheritance that could be used to research and improve life genes, or simply because of his innate secret techniques.

"Go, I look forward to the day you surpass me."

The King of Tianshuang waved his hand.

"The disciple retire."

After bowing respectfully, Lu Jin left the Heavenly Frost Temple.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace in the Great Luo Heaven.

'106 ancient corpses, and 23 of them possessed high-level divine sparks of law?'

On the nine-colored throne, the water unicorn clone, now in human form, couldn't help but smile.

The main body is still on its way back, but the Beast God Inheritance Token and the World Ring containing the corpses of hundreds of Cosmic Venerables have already been sent back through the external space.

The 106 Venerable corpses yielded 23 High-Level Law Godheads, which means the Heavenly Court can add 23 more blank-level Heavenly Generals.

Thanks to the fact that most of the human race's and Hongmeng's Cosmic Venerables are poor, the Heavenly Craft Pavilion has acquired quite a few Cosmic Venerable corpses.

To date, nearly two hundred Venerable-level Heavenly Generals in the Heavenly Court are currently creating spells within a top-tier treasure-level world ring in the Time Palace, which is operating at a thousand-fold acceleration.

Although the Heavenly Court's Cosmic Venerables could not be exposed, they could not take advantage of the creation method of the virtual universe, and they also lacked the guidance of the Lord of the Universe.

However, with the factor of a thousand times time acceleration, the ultimate secret technique may be difficult to master, but the peak secret technique is relatively easy to achieve.

With their top-tier secret techniques and treasures comparable to ordinary supreme treasures, the Heavenly Generals might not be a match for qualified cosmic overlords for the time being, but they would definitely have no problem bullying ordinary high-level cosmic venerables.

Subsequently, Lu Jin channeled his mental energy into the Water-Sky Beast God Inheritance Token in his hand.

A surge of information flooded Lu Jinjin's mind: "Hold the Beast God Inheritance Token of the Water and Void Fusion Laws and travel to the Inheritance Land. If your talent, aptitude, and abilities meet the requirements, you can obtain the Beast God Inheritance. The cosmic coordinates of the Inheritance Land are..."

"Jin Jiao, ask your subordinates whose teleportation token is closest to this coordinate, and have it come over."

After summoning the Golden Cunning King and telling it the cosmic coordinates of the Land of Inheritance, Lu Jin gave the instructions.

He had never been to the place where the Ancestral God Sect was founded.

However, he has quite a few soul servants under his command, and many of them should have left behind immortal crystals in the vicinity of the inheritance land, or they may simply be inheritors of the Ancestral God Cult themselves.

"Yes, Master!"

King Jin Jiao, now in human form and clad in golden armor, took his leave.

Before long, King Jinjiao entered the Lingxiao Palace with a figure in purple armor.

"Xing Suo, how far is your token from the land of inheritance?"

Lu Jin asked Xing Suo Wang.

Star King, from the Destroyer Beast Clan of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, was a King-level ultimate servant taken in by the Time Dragon's avatar when he was fishing in the Twilight Continent, the battlefield outside the Fifth Domain, in the Fourth Heaven Realm.

Having previously acquired a 30x divine body amplification and powerful offensive and defensive treasures, he already possessed near-invincible strength, comparable to a king.

After bowing, King Xingsuo said, "Master, I am the inheritor of the Ancestral God Sect. There is a token left by me millions of light-years away from the place of inheritance."

Lu Jin nodded: "Okay, then take me there."

The primordial universe, a million light-years away, is not far at all.

Even traveling at twice the speed of light through the dark universe, it would only take a little over a month to arrive.

If the Shenzhou spacecraft travels at a speed a thousand times faster than light, it would arrive in less than an hour.
