Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 222 This is too much of a crime to be tolerated!
Meanwhile, the Demon God Palace issued orders to the lords of various star sectors or the management of star fields to conduct a thorough investigation.

Enraged demon clan leaders, led by Dream Demon Ancestor Meng Cha, along with thirteen universe lords currently in the primordial universe, descended upon various territories to investigate the true culprit behind the scenes.

On the other hand, let's push the timeline forward slightly.

After that Marquis-level giant was annihilated by the enraged Lord of Twilight.

In the Heavenly Realm, the Great Luo Heaven, inside the Immortal Transformation Pool of the Immortal Transformation Hall.

Above the sea of ​​divine source liquid, which had long since gathered into a vast ocean, were countless colorful light spots, including eight light spots that were interwoven with black and white.

Suddenly, among countless colorful points of light, a white point of light emitted a dazzling white light, followed by a white beam of light that shot down, gathering immense energy.

As the sea of ​​divine source liquid below was slightly depleted, a gray-black giant about 100 meters tall instantly reassembled into a divine body.

The next moment, a gentle but irresistible force of repulsion appeared, and the gray-black giant, who had been resurrected in the Immortal Transformation Pool after his fall, was expelled from the inner space of the Immortal Transformation Pool.

Before he could even see his surroundings clearly, a voice reached the ears of the Marquis Giant.

"Who is your master?"

Zi Zhenfeng asked the giant who had been granted the title of Marquis.

Upon hearing this, and sensing the powerful aura faintly emanating from the human expert before him, the Marquis Giant was greatly encouraged and hurriedly bowed respectfully, saying, "Reporting to Your Excellency, my master is the Heavenly Silver King."

Why did he fall?

Zi Zhenfeng asked again.

The giant who had been granted the title of Marquis said, "I was carrying out a demon-hunting plan when a demon cosmic venerable descended and was killed by him."

Furthermore, before my death, that demon race cosmic venerable cast an illusion on me, thus exposing the demon-hunting plan.

"You shall wait in the square outside the palace."

With a slight nod, Zi Zhenfeng's figure instantly teleported out of the Immortal Transformation Hall.

Lingxiao Palace.

"Master, a participant in the demon-hunting plan has fallen under the illusion spell of the demon race's cosmic venerable. The demon-hunting plan has been exposed."

Zi Zhenfeng spoke to the Blood God Child avatar on the Nine-Colored Throne.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin raised an eyebrow, waved his hand, and said, "I understand. You can continue creating your own techniques."

Even before the operation began, Lu Jin had Tianyin Wang and other king-level servants involved in the demon-hunting plan send the immortal crystals of the immortal servants they had enslaved to the Immortal Transformation Pool.

There was no other reason; the main reason was to prevent the demon race from finding any clues.

The entire demon-hunting plan will most likely be exposed before the operation is completely over.

The plan being exposed is not a big deal, but the servants like Tianyin King cannot be caught directly by the demon race's universe venerables or universe lords.

With their strength, they were no match for the illusions of the Cosmic Venerable.

If the demon race finds out that the Heavenly Court was behind this, they will surely fight the Heavenly Court to the death.
Therefore, if any of the immortal servants enslaved by the Silver King or other servants on that day were to perish, the cause of their demise must be ascertained.

If the demon-hunting plan becomes known to the demon race's higher-ups, then regardless of the plan's progress, it must be decisively terminated.

Otherwise, if the demon race followed the clues, they would surely find the hiding place of Tianyin King and his servants, and then expose that the mastermind behind it all was the Heavenly Court.

"Yes, Master."

After bowing respectfully, Zi Zhenfeng withdrew from the Lingxiao Palace.

Then, Lu Jin changed his mind and put away the Western Heavenly Gate, which was located in a remote part of the demon territory. At the same time, he communicated with the Kunlun Mirror and gave the order to the group of demon servants who carried the Kunlun Token to terminate the demon-hunting plan and to summon the immortal-level and realm-lord-level demon servants as quickly as possible to await the teleportation.

Lu Jin had no intention of wasting the immortal demon servants he had acquired during this demon-hunting operation.

They are, after all, nearly ten million immortal servants with infinite lifespans. In the future, they will not only serve as administrators for countless demon races in the Mountain and Sea Heaven, but also be nearly ten million superior cattle and horses whose remaining value can be squeezed out.

Every so often, a portion of the divine body is chopped off, collected, and stuffed into the Demon Refining Pot; that yields countless Immortal-level Life Source Crystals.

Alternatively, these nearly ten million superior cattle and horses that don't need to eat or drink could be used to condense immortal crystals, which would accumulate into a considerable fortune over the years.

The same applies to the Lord-level demon servants who can condense cosmic crystals.

As for the larger number of demon servants below the Realm Lord level, there were simply too many to gather in a short time, so they were not to be recalled; he had other plans for them.

Twilight Star Region, Mahuang Starfield, Mahuang's Immortal Divine Kingdom.

Inside the temple, the Silver King sat on his throne.

Upon receiving Lu Jin's order, King Tianyin addressed his servants in the palace: "Pass on my order: the demon-hunting plan is to be terminated immediately. All star domain lords, gather your realm lords and demon servants and assemble in the Mahuang Divine Kingdom."

Furthermore, these star lords should be instructed to relocate their divine kingdoms, rather than remaining in their original locations.

As for the domain lords and their demon servants, they continue to lurk in remote areas of the demon race's territory.

After the demon race replenishes its population on the various inhabited planets, they will begin an indiscriminate massacre of the demons on those planets, reminding them to pick on the weak.

Since we are going to take these star lords with us, it is also necessary to transfer the divine kingdom.

Especially those divine kingdoms whose coordinates have already been exposed, the demon race will definitely destroy them in the future.

If the divine kingdom is not transferred, the Immortal Army Lord will most likely perish immediately after the divine kingdom is destroyed. Even if he doesn't perish, he will lose the space to continue growing.

As for the arrangements made for the domain lord and his demon servants, one can only say that Lu Dashanren is utterly wicked.

This plundering didn't end there; they also planted countless small spies within the demon race's territory to annoy them.

Of course, Lu Jin's decision not to destroy the life-bearing planet when the immortal-level demon servants evacuated already shows that he had a moral bottom line.

Well, this has absolutely nothing to do with him already having his eye on the demon race's territory.

"Yes, Master!"

The servants inside the hall responded in unison, and then issued orders through the communication network.

Not only Tianyin King's side, but also the other 12,000-plus direct servants under Lu Jin's command, all issued the orders given by Lu Jin through the Kunlun Decree.

Through continuous relay and transmission via the demon race's communication network, the demon-hunting operation, which covered more than 1,200 star sectors, nearly 10 million star fields, and more than 80 billion star systems across the demon race's territory, quickly came to a halt.

The divine kingdom's teleportation light flashed frequently as nearly ten million star domain lords used the divine kingdom's teleportation to travel to various places to gather their subordinate realm lords, and then headed to more than twelve thousand locations to assemble.

The Mahuang Star Region, with Mahuang Star as its capital.

After nearly a thousand divine kingdom teleportation lights lit up and nearly a thousand star domain lords entered the Mahuang divine kingdom through the fixed divine kingdom channel, the Mahuang Immortal directly canceled the fixed divine kingdom channel connecting his divine kingdom with the star domain capital star, and controlled his divine kingdom to move deeper into the spatial interlayer.

Inside the temple of the Mahuang Divine Kingdom, seeing that all his immortal servants had arrived, Tian Yinwang channeled a divine power into the Kunlun Token that he had stored within his body.

"Shh!"

The next moment, more than 1,200 immortal figures in the temple, including the Heavenly Silver King, vanished instantly.

With a spatial shift, Tianyin King and over 1,200 other immortals appeared in front of the Lingxiao Palace of the Great Luo Heaven, on an extremely spacious white jade plaza.

At this moment, there were numerous immortal figures of the demon race on the huge white jade plaza. Looking around, there were no fewer than a million, and groups of thousands of immortal figures of the demon race continued to appear.

Before long, after much effort, Lu Jin teleported all 12,000 of his directly subordinate king-level servants, as well as their immortal servants, back to the Great Luo Heaven.

"Golden Sly!"

Lu Jin looked at King Jin Jiao. "Master."

King Jin Jiao stepped forward.

Pointing to the celestial gate leading to the Mountain and Sea Heaven in the distance, Lu Jin said, "Take them to the Mountain and Sea Heaven, release all the demon race lives you have taken in, and establish a basic order."

From now on, you will be part of the management team of Shanhaitian.

Furthermore, please summarize the general results of this demon-hunting operation and provide me with a complete overview later.

Human slavery will definitely be banned in the future.

Currently, the only country that officially prohibits human slavery is the Frost Universe Kingdom.

Lu Jin planned to completely ban the human slave trade within the 1008 universe after the Heavenly Court was established, and replace the market demand gap left by the ban with demon slaves.

"Yes, Master!"

King Jinjiao bowed and accepted the order. He then led nearly ten million immortal demons across the celestial passage, which was tens of thousands of kilometers high, into the Mountain and Sea Heaven.

the other side.

The Demon Clan Territory, the Twilight Star Region, the Mahuang Star Region, and the Divine Kingdom Layer in the Space Interlayer.

'Shuh! '

From the place where the Immortal Kingdom of Yuanmahuang was located, a giant silver-scaled serpent, over 90,000 kilometers long and surrounded by countless snake shadows, teleported there.

"Time and space, rewind!"

Glancing at the Immortal God Kingdom that was slowly moving deeper into the God Kingdom layer, the Dream Demon Ancestor let out a soft surprise, and time in the surrounding space began to rapidly rewind, recreating the scenes that had already passed.

The Mahuang Divine Kingdom began to move, and the temples within the divine kingdom, which were empty of any demons, and the temples within the divine kingdom, which contained more than 1,200 demon figures, were then frozen in this scene.

Looking at the silver-scaled armored figure of the King-level who sat on the throne, the Dream Demon Ancestor frowned slightly.

"Tianyin?"

The Dream Demon Ancestor's gaze was fixed on the image of the Heavenly Silver King, who had transformed into human form.

Although Tianyin Wang transformed into human form using the "Thousand Transformations" technique, the "Thousand Transformations" secret method could not change his own life force.

Tianyin Wang is an invincible king from the Dreamscale Serpent Clan. She had paid attention to this junior before, but it was just a simple change in the appearance of a divine body, so she could tell the difference.

"First they enslaved nearly 30,000 of my demon race's kings, and now they're plundering my demon race's territory. This is simply outrageous and unforgivable!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor roared angrily to the sky, and the surrounding space and time were completely distorted into a vortex.

Meanwhile, the Mahuang Divine Kingdom, which was slowly moving in the distance, suffered a devastating blow. Under the tearing force of this distorted spacetime, it collapsed and turned into dust in an instant.

Upon seeing the Heavenly Silver King, who was of the Dreamscale Serpent Clan, the Dream Demon Ancestor immediately understood who was the mastermind behind the rampant plundering of demon lives within his territory.

It should be noted that after entering the 'treasure gate' on the Twilight Continent, the fifth outer battlefield, the Heavenly Silver King disappeared.

Even after reversing time, Tianyin King could not be resurrected, indicating that he was enslaved by his soul.

Needless to say, the mastermind behind the "Treasure Gate Incident," which resulted in the complete loss of over 28,000 demon kings, and the mastermind behind this "abduction incident" must be the same powerful figure or from the same force.

After letting out a helpless roar to vent some of his dissatisfaction, the Dream Demon Ancestor teleported away.

The mastermind has been found, but it could also be said that they haven't, because the demon race has no idea who the mastermind was last time.

One week later, at Lingxiao Palace.

"Master, the preliminary statistics on the results of the demon-hunting plan have been completed."

The Golden Horned King spoke to the Blood God Child avatar on the Nine-Colored Throne.

Lu Jin said, "Tell me about it."

King Jin Jiao reported: "First are the Immortal Demon Servants, there are more than 9.46 million Immortal Army Lord Demon Servants and 20,000 Marquis Immortal Demon Servants. Previously, they were all lords of various star regions of the Demon Clan."

As for the immortal servants who were not of demon race origin, there were 210,000 marquis immortals and nearly 30,000 king immortals. They were all recruited by Tianyin King and his group from all over the universe, and their racial origins were diverse.

The number of world lord-level demon servants is enormous, with each star domain lord taking in dozens or nearly a hundred on average, totaling more than 830 million.

As for the demonic beasts abducted into the Mountain and Sea Heaven, their life levels ranged from apprentice to stellar level, and their numbers were difficult to calculate precisely, but there were approximately twenty trillion of them.

One trillion equals one trillion, twenty trillion equals 20 billion trillion.

The spoils of this demon-hunting operation include 946 million Immortal Army Lords, 23 Marquises, 3 Kings, 83000 million Realm Lords, 20 trillion apprentice-level to star-level demon beasts, and countless cosmic-level and domain-lord-level spies buried within the demon race's territory.

"very good!"

Lu Jin nodded in satisfaction and said, "After the basic order is established, your management team should supervise the breeding of various monsters. Moreover, I want not only quantity but also quality."

In addition, your management should screen this newly acquired batch of servants.

Those who reach the King-level strength do not need to be assigned tasks on a daily basis; they can simply focus on cultivation.

Those whose strength reaches the Marquis level must dedicate one-third of their time each year to condensing Immortal Crystals.

Those whose strength reaches the level of an Immortal Army Lord must dedicate two-thirds of their time each year to condensing Immortal Crystals.

If it's a World Lord-level demon servant, the potential is enormous; one-third of the time can be used to condense a cosmic crystal.

With considerable potential, it is possible to achieve immortality by dedicating two-thirds of its time to condensing the universe.

Those who haven't reached the potential for immortality, then keep condensing cosmic crystals, understand?

Lu Dashanren is indeed kind-hearted.

Apart from the demon servants of the realm lords who did not have the potential to become immortal, even those with the heaviest tasks had a third of their time to rest.

This means that without holidays, you only need to work 8 or 16 hours a day without pay.

Moreover, if one has enough talent, one can achieve immortality and transcend social class, thus escaping the daily unpaid work assignment.

"Yes, Master!"

King Jinjiao bowed in response, silently mourning for a second for the vast majority of the realm lords and demon servants who had no potential to enter immortality.

However, this is all normal. Soul servants are often exploited by their masters to extract their remaining value.

The cosmic crystal reserves of various races in the universe are mostly condensed by their own realm lords, since there are many realm lords of secret realms and realm lords of divine kingdoms.

However, immortal crystals are basically formed from immortal servants of other races.

For example, once humans reach the Immortal level, they can easily create a top-ranking power in any star field and become a powerful force.

Why not enjoy the status and life of a big shot instead of being stuck in the divine kingdom condensing immortal crystals?

Condensing immortal crystals doesn't bring wealth, and the process is extremely tedious, so most immortals who haven't been enslaved are unwilling to earn this hard-earned money.

However, immortal crystals are one of the strategic reserve resources of the race, and they cannot be lacking. Therefore, the human race can only exploit the immortal servants of other races.

In any case, servants will not resist their masters' orders, and they don't have to be paid.

Even immortal gods have infinite lifespans, so having an immortal servant from another race is like having a legal money-printing machine that will never stop working.
