Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 233 Sweeping Through the War Base
"Hmph~, all flash and no substance!"

Lu Jin snorted disdainfully, his divine power burning, and with a terrifying aura, he directly activated his strongest innate secret technique: Chaos Tide.

With the unleashing of the most powerful innate secret technique, a colossal secret pattern that blotted out the sky materialized, and the surrounding space and time instantly froze.

At this moment, the countless cannons of the Mechanical Race war base, which were shooting towards the countless energy beams and numerous energy rays of the Blood God Child's avatar, were all frozen in mid-air as if they had physical forms.

Immediately afterwards, countless divine powers, transformed by the massive rune diagram, formed a gray tide that swept across the entire world, instantly surging towards the mechanical race's war base below at a speed far exceeding the speed of light.

The machine race's war bases on the outer battlefields are no less impressive than the human race's AAA god bases, and may even be slightly better. Ordinary high-level cosmic venerables cannot destroy them, but Lu Jin is determined to try.

Although he possessed no extraordinary treasures and had ordinary life genes.

But his divine body is enormous, spanning over 90,000 kilometers!

By activating the most powerful innate secret technique, 'Chaotic Tide,' and exhausting its massive divine body spanning over 90,000 kilometers, even if it cannot flatten the war base in one wave, several waves will surely be enough to do so.

"Rumble--"

The starry sky trembled and shattered, a deafening roar resounded throughout the universe, and a gray tide swept down, engulfing the entire world.

"Puff puff--"

In an instant, the countless energy beams and rays that were solidified in mid-air by the spacetime power formed by the secret technique were completely annihilated after being swallowed by the gray tide.

"boom--"

The gray tide surged toward the mechanical fortress of the Shining Venerable. The giant waves crashed down, and although it was not instantly obliterated, it became precarious under the continuous gray tide.

If it is a top-grade palace treasure, it can definitely hold on, and even an ordinary palace treasure can last for a while.

After all, the life genes of the Blood God Child's incarnation are ordinary, and the power that the Chaos Tide can unleash is not outrageous.

Unfortunately, palace treasures are rare.

Let alone top-tier palace treasures whose value surpasses that of ordinary treasures, even ordinary palace treasures are not something every high-level cosmic venerable can possess.

This is not just a matter of how much money one has, but also a matter of whether it is necessary.

Because even a high-level cosmic venerable can reach the limit of ordinary palace treasures.

Moreover, for the Cosmic Sovereign of the Machine Race, an ordinary palace treasure that can only serve as a tortoise shell is not as practical as a mechanical fortress that can both attack and defend.

This is the case with the Shining Venerable, who is not exactly wealthy.

His mechanical fortress was merely a large-scale technological weapon, its overall defense even inferior to that of a typical palace treasure.

It can hold out for a moment, but it cannot stop the continuous erosion of the chaotic tide.

At the same time, the front wave of the gray tide had already rushed onto the energy shield of the war base below.

In an instant, the energy shield above the war base burst forth with dazzling light.

The numerous energy towers that generated energy shields inside the war base began to operate at overload to withstand the gray tide and protect the millions of soldiers of all ranks belonging to the machine race within the war base.

"Rumble--"

Waves of terrifying gray energy relentlessly assaulted the energy shield of the war base.

"hateful!"

Inside the mechanical fortress, the Flash Spirit Venerable, who was trapped in place by the power of spacetime and unable to move, cursed under his breath. At the same time, he sent out a wisp of his consciousness to ask his master, the Platinum Silver Lord, the highest decision-maker of the mechanical race in the extraterritorial battlefield, for help.

"Kakaka-"

A few seconds passed, and amidst the violent roar of the waves, there were some cracking sounds.

A horrifying scene unfolded as the Flash Spirit Venerable saw fine cracks appearing on the outer shell of his extremely sturdy mechanical fortress, which was impervious to ordinary high-level cosmic Venerables.

Two seconds later.

"boom--"

With a deafening roar, the spherical mechanical fortress, tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter, exploded, shattering into countless large and small metal fragments.

Immediately afterwards, a gray tide surged forward, engulfing the divine body of the Flash Spirit Venerable.

Even with top-tier armor protecting him, which can reduce physical attacks to one-thousandth of their original value.

Even after being swallowed by the gray tide, the Flash Spirit Venerable still sensed that his divine body was being rapidly obliterated.

A six-meter-tall divine body, compared to all the cosmic venerables in the entire primordial universe, can only be considered a small divine body.

'Hmm? It's pretty hard?'

Lu Jin glanced at the mechanical race's Venerable One, whose divine body was being rapidly obliterated, and looked down at the war base in the chaotic tide below, whose energy shield had not been breached. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Without hesitation, Lu Jin made a thought, and the avatar of a Blood God Child who was causing trouble in a secret realm within the territory of the Mechanical Race disappeared.

Within the Netherworld God Kingdom, the Netherworld Blood Sea clone activated the innate secret technique 'Blood God Child,' and a new Blood God Child incarnation materialized.

Subsequently, the Blood God Child avatar, which was maintaining the chaotic tides above the Netherworld Blood Sea and manifesting the strongest talent secret technique rune diagram, communicated with the Kunlun Mirror to locate the Kunlun Token it carried and teleported the newly condensed Blood God Child avatar over.

"Shh!"

Upon arrival, the new Blood God Child avatar immediately activated the 'Chaotic Tide'.

In an instant, a second enormous, sky-covering rune pattern appeared above the entire battlefield, followed by a massive influx of divine power that transformed into a terrifying gray tide that swept across the heavens and earth, rushing rapidly toward the mechanical race's war base below.

"Rumble--"

The waves roared, and half a minute after the battle began, just as the first Blood God Child avatar to activate the Chaos Tide lost 30% of his divine power.

Above the war base swallowed by the gray tide, the energy shield that was bursting with brilliant light finally showed signs of breaking down. The almost solidified energy shield developed countless cracks.

"boom--"

After holding out for a few more seconds, the energy shield covering millions of kilometers shattered, and a gray tide surged down, engulfing the mechanical race's war base that had lost its protective shield.

At this moment, apart from a very small number of exceptionally sturdy metal structures.

Wherever the gray tide passed, everything within the Machine Race war base was affected.

A large number of mechanical race warriors, including those at the cosmic, domain lord, world lord, and immortal levels, were annihilated into nothingness by the gray tide containing terrifying power.

Just two seconds after the energy shield broke, the entire Mech Race war base was wiped out, leaving only 108 exceptionally sturdy energy towers.

Lu Jin didn't stand on ceremony. His Blood God Child avatar, which had consumed more than 30% of its divine power, stopped activating the secret technique and flew forward to collect the 108 energy towers.

Those that can remain intact in the chaotic tides are far more durable than precious treasures; no matter what they are, they are all worth some money.

"Boom—" At this moment, a violent roar resounded. With less than 10% of his divine body remaining, and unable to withstand the chaotic tide, the Flash Spirit Venerable directly self-destructed his divine body.

Since the machine race has no soul, there is no need to worry about the issue of soul enslavement.

However, he is only a high-level universe venerable, and not even a strong one among high-level universe venerables. If his divine body suffers too much damage, he may also be beaten into a deep sleep.

With no way out and certain death, it's best to self-destruct while still conscious to avoid being permanently sealed away after falling into a deep sleep.

As a cosmic sovereign, he would certainly be on the list of resurrected beings for his race.

Stopping the activation of his strongest innate secret technique, Lu Jin raised his hand and a top-tier treasure armor and a ring as sturdy as a treasure flew into his hand.

The spoils of war were few; the wealth of the mechanical race's powerful members was mainly concentrated in their mechanical puppet legions.

However, when Chaos Tide shattered the opponent's mechanical fortress, it also wiped out the opponent's mechanical puppet army.

Without thoroughly investigating, Lu Jin casually stored the precious armor and ring into his external storage space, just as he was about to teleport away.

Suddenly, a tremendous force descended, instantly freezing the surrounding space and time, imprisoning Lu Jin's two Blood God Child avatars in mid-air.

The next moment, Lu Jin saw a silver-white spherical mechanical fortress, hundreds of thousands of kilometers long, descend.

"Destroy!"

A cold voice came from the huge silver-white spherical fortress, and a terrifying power descended. Lu Jin felt the divine bodies of the two Blood God's incarnations being rapidly worn down.

In the blink of an eye, the First Blood God Child, whose divine body had already suffered considerable damage from activating the Chaos Tide, turned to ashes.

Even facing death, Lu Jin remained calm. Amidst the surge of divine power, a voice rang out: "Is this the Platinum Silver of the Mechanical Race? Your Mechanical Race's higher-ups should discuss this. If you compensate your ancestor with a top-tier palace treasure, your ancestor will not hold it against your Mechanical Race."

"If you refuse, then you machine race can only await your death!"

I once asked your mechanical race to give me a supreme treasure armor, but you refused. Don't blame me for demanding an exorbitant price.

The Platinum Silver Lord, a silver-white mechanical fortress, didn't reply, his eyes icy cold.

Soon, the second Blood God Child's divine body was completely obliterated and then turned to ashes.

"Ok?"

Seeing that neither of the two Blood Demons had left behind any treasures after their deaths, the Lord of Platinum and Silver frowned.

The fact that no treasure was left behind means that a Blood Demon at the level of a Cosmic Venerable was able to break through the war base with his bare hands.
It should be understood that ordinary high-level cosmic beings do not have the ability to breach the mechanical race's war bases on the outer battlefield; only cosmic overlords have this capability.

Just then, the Lord of Platinum Silver received a message from the communication system: the 006th war base in the Fifth Extraterrestrial Battlefield had been destroyed by the Blood Demon.

Moreover, before the Lord of Platinum and Silver could reach the Fifth Extraterrestrial Battlefield, news of war bases being breached by the Blood Demon came one after another, as if dominoes were falling.

Lu Jin dispatched a thousand Blood God Child incarnations.

The territory of the Machine race is relatively small, consisting of only a few hundred star sectors.

After assigning a Blood God Child avatar to each star sector of the Machine Race's territory, as well as to the secret realms of the universe where Machine Race Universe Venerables appeared, Lu Jin teleported the remaining three hundred-plus Blood God Child avatars to eleven extraterrestrial battlefields.

Instead of deliberately bullying the 'youngsters' of the Mech race, Lu Jin directly targeted the Mech race's war base.

More than three hundred Blood God Child avatars acted almost simultaneously. The mechanical race's war base, which was flattened by the strongest innate secret technique 'Chaotic Tide', was naturally not just the war base where 'Flash Spirit Venerable' was stationed in the Third Extraterrestrial Battlefield.

In just ten minutes, four of the eleven high-level cosmic venerables of the mechanical race stationed on the outer battlefield perished.

The remaining seven Venerable Ones, all possessing either ordinary palace treasures or top-tier palace treasures, did not perish in the Chaos Tide.

Those with ordinary palace treasures are injured but not dead, while those with top-tier palace treasures are completely indestructible.

In addition to the fall of the four Venerable Ones who were stationed there, more than a hundred war bases were flattened by the Chaos Tide, and the Mechanical Race lost almost one-tenth of its war bases in the outer battlefield.

Of course, all three hundred-plus Blood God Child incarnations sent by Lu Jin to the battlefield outside the domain also perished.

However, only about ten were killed by the Platinum Silver Lord, the 'firefighter'.

Most of them were killed after their divine bodies were too exhausted from using the Chaos Tide to break through the war base. Lu Jin was too lazy to teleport back to recover his divine power, so he went directly to the entrance of other mechanical race war bases and self-destructed.

After breaching over a hundred mechanical race war bases and killing more than three hundred Blood God Child incarnations, Lu Jin temporarily halted his operations, preparing to resume tomorrow.

We need to give the higher-ups of the Mechanical Race some time to discuss things. If the Mechanical Race backs down and is willing to compensate him with a top-tier palace treasure, then the Slaughtering Machine Venerable might just have to log off.

Virtual universe, extraterrestrial battlefield dimension.

"Guys, big news!"

"What's the big news?"

"The Slaughter King, who had been out of the public eye for thirty years, has leaped two major levels to become a Universe Venerable, and today he dropped a super bombshell."

Just now, this incredibly ruthless individual swept aside at least dozens of Mech Race war bases, each far superior to our Human Race's AAA-level god bases!

"Holy crap, really? That's amazing!"

"It's not just the sweeping destruction of the war bases; I've also heard that several of the eleven Venerables of the Mechanical Race stationed in the outer battlefields have perished."

"Good heavens~, the World Lord has directly entered the Universe Venerable realm, and the destructive power has increased by countless times. The higher-ups of the Mechanical Race must be regretting it to the core, right?"

"Are you kidding me? Where would those mechanical lumps of metal come from?"

"Back then, the Slaughtering Machine Venerable extorted a top-tier treasure armor from the Mechanical Race. Now, the Mechanical Race will probably have to obediently hand over the treasure."

"Superficial! One top-tier treasure armor is far from enough."

"Exactly, how can we do it without doubling the power? Anyway, the Mechanical Race can't kill the Machine Slaughterer, so whatever the Mechanical Race has, they have to give it up no matter how unwilling they are."

Lu Jin's Blood God Child incarnation swept through hundreds of mechanical race war bases. Such a huge commotion was naturally quickly learned by the immortals of the human race camp.

Once the news spread, on all eleven islands in the virtual universe's outer battlefield dimension, onlookers were buzzing with discussion.

The virtual world of the mechanical race.

Inside a magnificent mechanical hall, thirteen terrifying figures gathered together.

At the head of the hall sat a towering mechanical figure.

The remaining twelve figures in the hall looked much like ordinary members of the mechanical race, all of them being burly figures whose bodies resembled those cast from various metals.

"You all know the details now, so tell me."

The Machine God addressed the Machine Lords of the Universe.
