Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 234 How to Get Rich Quick? Only Through Extortion

"Even without any supreme treasures, the strength of each of the Blood Demon's clones surpasses that of ordinary high-level universe venerables."

Given such strength and their invincibility, from the perspective of the race, I suggest resolving our feud.

One of the mechanical race's universe lords spoke first.

The Lord of Platinum and Silver couldn't help but ask, "Then who will compensate my mechanical race for their losses?"

Another mechanical race cosmic lord said, "Our race's losses don't necessarily have to be attributed to the Blood Demon. There are billions of races in the universe; we can always find a race that will pay the price for our mechanical race."

Furthermore, if things continue like this, it will only lead to greater losses for our mechanical race. Unless we are confident in completely annihilating the Blood Demon, it is best to cut our losses as soon as possible.

"That scoundrel is making outrageous demands, trying to extort a top-tier palace treasure from my Mechanical Race!"

The enraged Lord of Platinum raised his voice.

If it were a top-tier, supreme-grade armor from the very beginning, the Lord of Platinum and Silver would also agree to a reconciliation.

After all, with the Mechanical Race's substantial resources, a single top-tier treasure armor is hardly a serious blow.

But the supreme treasures of the pinnacle palace are different.

Aside from the puppet legion under the Father God, whose value rivals that of supreme treasures, the supreme palace treasures are arguably the most valuable treasures within the clan.

Choosing to reconcile with the Blood Demon is tantamount to slashing one's own major artery.

"Platinum Silver, if you can completely eliminate the Blood Demon, we might be able to work together to create a supreme treasure palace for you."

"A mechanical universe lord said."

In the universe, the strong prey on the weak. Those who knowingly persist in doing the impossible may become the backbone of their race, but they are not suitable as decision-makers.

Force can solve all problems, but only if you always have enough force.

Lord of Platinum and Silver: "."

If I could kill that Blood Demon, would there even be a need for this Supreme Conference?

Uh, it is indeed necessary to open it.

However, the purpose of the meeting was not to discuss solutions, but to discuss which race or faction the Machine Race should seek to recover its losses from the Blood Demon, so as to make up for the losses caused by the Blood Demon, and even recover them with interest.

The following day, the Ninth Extraterrestrial Battlefield.

Above a mechanical race war base, the Blood God Child, with blood-red hair and blood-red armor, teleported in.

Just as Lu Jin was about to unleash his strongest innate secret technique, 'Chaotic Tide,' to continue his rampage through the war base, a peak-level mechanical king teleported out and shouted, "Blood Demon Venerable, hold on!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin retorted angrily, "You lowly scum, are you blind? I am the Venerable Slaughtering Weapons!"

Intimidated by the Blood Demon's infamous reputation, the Mechanical King disregarded the insults and said, "Your Excellency, our great Platinum Silver Lord will soon descend to discuss reconciliation with you."

Lu Jin asked, "Have you notified Platinum Silver yet?"

The Machine Race King said, "I have informed the great Lord of Platinum and Silver."

"Then you can go die."

Having said that, Lu Jin conjured a blood-red demonic sword in his hand and slashed down with it.

The unnamed, overlord-level ultimate secret technique was activated, and as divine power surged, a terrifying blue-gold sword light suddenly appeared, instantly shooting towards the mechanical race's peak-level king-level divine body.

"boom--"

A violent roar erupted, and the mechanical race's peak-level divine body turned to ashes.

First he called him by the wrong name, and then he addressed him respectfully without his name. This was extremely disrespectful to the ancestor and was a death sentence for him!
Then, Lu Jin stood in the sky above the Mechanical Race's war base, waiting for the arrival of the Mechanical Race's Platinum Silver Lord.

Even though the Blood God's incarnation has no soul, it is not absolutely invincible.

For example, the mechanical race might find the Netherworld Blood Sea clone, or the relationship between the main body and the Blood God's incarnation might be exposed, or a powerful enemy might possess a secret technique of will.

However, the Netherworld Blood Sea clone is located within the Netherworld Heaven, which the mechanical race experts are unaware of and cannot access.

Those who know the relationship between the true body and the incarnation of the Blood God are not from the Heavenly Court; they are probably only his teacher, the Lord of Heavenly Frost Kingdom, and the Lord of Chaos City, neither of whom would tell outsiders.

As for the secret art of willpower, it's not that Lu Jin looks down on the mechanical race, but rather that this thing basically doesn't exist in the original universe.

Moreover, there was no powerful being in the primordial universe capable of killing him through willpower.

Fearless—that's what the Blood God Child incarnate is all about.

Lu Jin wouldn't rest until he compensated the Mechanical Race, this big fat sheep, with a supreme palace treasure.

In other words, the Mechanical Race isn't wealthy enough; the Peak Palace Treasure is already their limit, and they would never give him the Ultimate Treasure. Otherwise, Lu Jin would have continued to increase the stakes.

Before long, a terrifying aura descended, and a silver-white spherical mechanical fortress with a diameter of hundreds of thousands of kilometers suddenly appeared in the distant starry sky.

Seeing this, Lu Jin asked with a smile, "Platinum Silver, did you bring the ancestor's supreme palace treasure with you?"

"Blood Demon, I hope you will one day become the strongest being in the universe."

"The Lord of Platinum and Silver said coldly."

To become a true god, all innate talents and secret techniques will disappear. Once the secret technique of creating clones is gone, the Blood Demon's death once will be a complete demise.

Moreover, the super-strong beings who want the Blood Demon dead will not only be their great father god of the mechanical race, but also the Zhen Yao Ancestor and Meng Yao Ancestor of the demon race, who will surely join the ranks of besieging and killing the Blood Demon.

If Blood Demon does something like this, the Zerg Queen and the Terran Giant Axe Founder will likely join the siege.

Five veteran true gods besieging a blood demon who has just become a true god, how could they not easily defeat him?
Lu Jin waved his hand and said, "Bo Yin, you should feel honored. Our ancestor once told you that you wouldn't live to see that day."

Alright, enough talk. Give me the supreme treasure of the Ancestor's Peak Palace, and my grudges with your Mechanical Race will be settled.

Furthermore, given the sincerity of your mechanical race, you may choose one race as my next target.

The Lord of Platinum Silver replied without hesitation: "The Demon Race."

The four races are enemies of each other. Originally, for the Machine Race, it was not so much that one race was more hateful than the other; they just wished they could wipe out all three races.

But now, relatively speaking, they definitely hate the demon race even more.

The reason why Blood Demon didn't target the human race or the insect race first was because the demon race chose their own mechanical race first when faced with a choice between the three.

Otherwise, if the demon race chooses the human race or the insect race, and the chosen target is like their mechanical race, they will not accept extortion.

So, after seeing how ruthless the Blood Demon was, when their mechanical race was targeted by the Blood Demon, they would definitely pay 'protection money' without saying a word.

Instead of the current situation, where significant losses were incurred before compromise was reached, and the protection fee skyrocketed from the Peak Treasure Armor to the Peak Palace Treasure.

“The demon race won’t do. Our ancestor values ​​his reputation and wouldn’t turn against his employer.”

Lu Jin refused outright.

Even if we were to target the demon race again, we would first have to extort all four major races and wait a while before making any moves, wouldn't we?
Otherwise, if we really did that, who would pay protection money?
The Lord of Platinum Silver said, "Then let it be the human race."

"No problem, what about the Ancestor's supreme palace treasure?"

Lu Jin nodded and asked.

With a pained expression, the Lord of Platinum and Silver took out a palace treasure that was filled with lightning and covered with mysterious patterns.

Then, the Lightning Treasure traversed space and appeared outside the Silver Fortress, flying towards Lu Jin. The Platinum Silver Lord said resentfully, "Xuan Sha Qian Jun Palace, you got a good deal."

Although this supreme palace treasure is the least valuable among all the supreme palace treasures currently possessed by the entire Mechanical Race, it is still incredibly valuable.

In other words, the Blood Demon is unsolvable. If they do not reconcile with him, the losses of their race will increase indefinitely. Otherwise, the Machine Race would not be willing to hand over such a treasure.

"Not bad, not bad, your mechanical race has gained the friendship of your ancestor."

Looking at the lightning palace before him, which was only the size of a palm but exuded a terrifying aura of a supreme treasure, Lu Jin nodded in satisfaction and put it into his external storage space.

"Humph~"

The Lord of Platinum Silver snorted coldly, and the enormous silver-white mechanical fortress disappeared into the air.

Your friendship?

As if nobody cares!
In other words, they haven't found a way to kill you, otherwise you, Blood Demon, would have died countless times already.

"Needs to be disciplined~"

Lu Jin pursed his lips.

Having obtained the supreme treasure of the pinnacle palace, Lu Jin did not continue to cause destruction.

The numerous Blood God Child incarnations located in the Mechanical Race's territory and the Cosmic Secret Realm were all teleported back to the Celestial Realm by the Blood God Child incarnations within the Netherworld Celestial Kingdom through the Kunlun Mirror.

The Great Luo Heaven, the Lingxiao Palace.

On the nine-colored throne, Lu Jin had a thought and took out the Xuan Sha Qian Jun Palace from his external space, landing in front of Zi'er.

Lu Jin said, "Zi'er, this is the Xuan Sha Qian Jun Hall, a supreme treasure of the peak palace. I entrust it to you to use."

But remember this: never use this priceless treasure unless in a crisis.

The treasures obtained by the Blood Demon through extortion should never be used lightly unless they are used by the Blood God's incarnation.

Otherwise, the demon and mechanical races he had extorted would not let the users of the treasure go unpunished.

However, the defensive limit of the supreme treasure of the peak palace is also very high.

Even if the Xuan Sha Qian Jun Palace is just an ordinary item among the supreme treasures of the peak palaces, in the future, when they go to the Cosmic Sea, there will be very few powerful individuals who can pose a threat to Hong'er and her seven companions and the warriors under their command.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zi'er accepted it with a happy expression.

This is a supreme treasure of the pinnacle palace! In the primordial universe, there are over a thousand universe lords, but how many of them can possess a supreme treasure of the pinnacle palace?
Moreover, looking at the entire Heavenly Court, apart from those heaven-defying treasures that cannot be taken out of the Heavenly Realm, her Xuan Sha Qian Jun Palace is the most valuable.

Then, Lu Jin instructed Fatty, "Fatty, send a message to the Lord of Chaos City and ask him to cooperate. I will return the treasure that the Blood Demon extorted to him privately later."

If no one in the human race knows the relationship between the Blood God Child and his true self, then the treasure that the Blood Demon extorted can simply be stolen.

But the Lord of Chaos City must know, and he wouldn't dare to actually extort the human race.

"Yes, Master."

Fatty responded.

Soon, Fatty said, "Master, the Lord of Chaos City replied, saying that he is aware of it."

"Ah."

Lu Jin nodded slightly, and his true form continued to study the eight water beast god paintings.

The Fifth Extraterritorial Battlefield.

Above a human AAA god base with a diameter of millions of kilometers, a blue palace tens of thousands of kilometers high floats, exuding immense pressure and shrouded in a hurricane.

"Shh!"

Suddenly, a figure with blood-red hair and blood-red armor teleported in from outside the divine base.

"Who's in charge? Get out here and face me, your ancestor."

Lu Jin said loudly and arrogantly.

The sound boomed, echoing for billions of kilometers.

Soon, a burly human man, three meters tall, wielding a spear and wearing blue armor, arrived from the sky.

"Qinglan of the Human Race".

The burly man said in a deep voice.

Lu Jin said, "Do you know why the Ancestor has come?"

"May I ask your name at this time? Please tell me."

"Venerable Qinglan said respectfully. The Blood Demon's reputation was too great; he dared not be disrespectful."

Otherwise, if we anger this ruthless guy, the human race will definitely suffer.

Humans are powerful and influential, but such power also means they have many weaknesses.

A powerful lone wolf is definitely one of the most dangerous beings in the universe, especially a ruthless individual like the Blood Demon who is virtually unkillable.

Lu Jin nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, you humans do know how to be polite."

Inform Chaos that if you humans give your ancestor a supreme treasure armor, you will gain my friendship.

Otherwise, the title of our ancestor would be the Butcher of Men.

"Please wait a moment, Your Excellency."

Seeing that the Blood Demon did not make a move directly, Venerable Qinglan, who came from the Virtual Universe Company, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately separated a wisp of his consciousness to log into the Virtual Universe and report to the Lord of Chaos City.

Soon, after receiving a signal from the Lord of Chaos City, Venerable Qinglan said, "My human race's Lord of Chaos City will arrive shortly."

"Well, hurry up."

Lu Jin nodded.

"Clang!" "Thump!" "Whoosh!" "Sizzle!"

Before long, various sounds suddenly arose, not loud and faint, but they reached the minds of all life within a radius of several light-years.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

The next moment, a vast yet faintly visible river of stars appeared out of nowhere in the distant starry sky.

The river covers an extremely wide area, spanning several light-years in width and stretching to an endless length, seemingly leading to the end of the starry sky.

In this indistinct river, various strange objects float, all exuding a powerful aura.

"Qianbao River? What a magnificent sight!"

"You scoundrel city lord, are you humans going to reject my friendship, ancestor?"

Lu Jin said provocatively.

'A good-for-nothing city lord?'

Upon hearing this, the Chaos City Lord's Qianbaohe clone was speechless.

If he hadn't already known that the Blood Demon was Lu Jin, he would never have associated the polite Lu Jin with the arrogant Blood Demon.

But you know what, an unkillable blood demon really does have the right to be arrogant.

I wonder what treasure the mechanical race gave up to make Lu Jin shift his focus?
"Blood Demon, my human race has not provoked you, so why are you making things difficult for my human race?"

The Lord of Chaos asked and answered in a deep voice.

Lu Jin said, "The first law of the universe is not spacetime, but the law of the jungle."

"Who told you humans to be so unlucky? I gave the Mechs a choice between the humans and the Zerg, and they chose you humans!"

"How much did the Machine Race give you?"

"Children shouldn't pry into adults' affairs."

What, do you humans intend to hire me, your ancestor, to target the machine race?

It's not that it's impossible, but the Ancestor doesn't think your human race can afford the price.

After all, betraying one's employer damages the patriarch's reputation, so a higher price should be demanded, right?

Chaos City Lord: "."

This is the first time since I, the city lord, have gained control of time and space that someone has spoken to me like this.

However, while feeling frustrated, the Lord of Chaos City was also startled.

Judging from his tone, if nothing unexpected happens, this kid has probably severed the lifeline of the mechanical race!

Lu Jin waved his hand and said, "Enough with the nonsense. With just one top-tier treasure armor, your human race can gain my friendship."

"Of course, if you humans are unwilling, then you are looking down on your ancestor, and I, your ancestor, will not be polite!"

The Lord of Chaos City said, "You swear that you will never cause trouble for my human race again."

Lu Jin rebuked him without any politeness: "Enough with the nonsense! Hurry up! Do you really think I'm here to talk about friendship? I'm warning you, don't push your luck!"

'I should have sent Bingfeng!'

The Lord of Chaos cursed inwardly.

He always felt that this kid was messing with him.

"Hmph~!"

The Lord of Chaos City snorted coldly, waved his hand, and tossed a top-tier treasure armor to Lu Jin.

Looking at the heavy aura emanating from the armor thrown by the Lord of Chaos City, which resembled a treasured suit of armor forged from black clay, Lu Jin asked, "What is the name of this armor?"

"Qian Yuan Thick Earth Armor, Blood Demon, I hope your extortion of the human race ends here."

The Lord of Chaos City said.

"Hey~, Chaos, what are you saying? How can this be extortion? This is clearly a symbol of friendship between me and the human race."

What's more, I'll be helping your humans fight the Zerg later!

"Put the 'Qian Yuan Thick Earth Armor' into your external storage space," Lu Jin retorted righteously.

This time, Lu Jin didn't let the Chaos City Lord, who was supposed to pay protection money, choose, since of the four major races, only the Zerg hadn't been extorted by him.

"Hmph~!"

With another cold snort, the mighty Thousand Treasures River vanished, and the figure of the Chaos City Lord also disappeared.

"Cut~"

Lu Jin pursed his lips, then teleported away.

Above a certain Zerg war base in the Fifth Extraterrestrial Battlefield, a magnificent palace-like treasure, tens of thousands of kilometers high, floats in the air.

Hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the war base, Lu Jin, who had just returned to the original universe, teleported there.

It has to be said that the dark universe is very convenient, especially when traveling.

"Our ancestor has arrived! You scum of the Zerg, why aren't you coming out to greet him?"

Lu Jin's voice boomed, echoing across billions of kilometers.

"Shh!"

The next moment, a humanoid insect shadow, six meters tall, with a body covered in dark purple carapace, a triangular head with two pairs of compound eyes, four wings on its back, and arms that resembled two battle swords, teleported over.

It is the current commander of the Zerg's Fifth Extraterrestrial Battlefield, a high-level cosmic lord named 'Thousand Shadows' from the Zerg's subordinate race, the Swift Shadow Clan.

Unlike the human, demon, and machine races, the Venerables who command the extraterritorial battlefields of the three races are all of their own race.

However, the Zerg's chief guardians are all from subordinate races, and chief queens of the chief level generally do not serve as chief guardians in the outer battlefields.

"What do you Zerg have to say?"

Lu Jin asked.

"I have already informed the clan, and the great Lord of the Nether Lotus is on his way."

"Venerable Thousand Shadows said."

Lu Jin nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, it seems that you Zerg are just as sensible as the Humans."

Venerable Thousand Shadows: "."

Nonsense! How could we not recognize it? How could we not cooperate?
Just look at the situation of the Mech race. When facing an unsolvable enemy, the only way to minimize losses is to cooperate from the very beginning.

If I were to endure a severe beating and then cooperate, not only would I suffer significant losses, but I would also inevitably have to endure even greater extortion from you.

Before Lu Jin could wait long, a dazzling dark golden mother nest descended from the distant starry sky, accompanied by a terrifying aura.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, a crimson light flashed, and a streak of crimson light shot rapidly from between Lu Jin and his companion.

Seeing this, Lu Jin's divine power surged, intercepting the crimson stream of light.

It was a crimson scale armor, radiating an extremely powerful aura of a supreme treasure.

"That's right, I like making friends with straightforward and strong people."

Lu Jin put away the supreme treasure armor and said with satisfaction.

"That supreme treasure is called the 'Crimson Flame Demon Scale Armor.' Blood Demon, you have little enmity with my insect race. My great empress thinks highly of you. Would you be willing to join my insect race?"

The soft, alluring voice of the Lord of the Nether Lotus emanated from the dazzling dark golden maternal nest.

Raising an eyebrow, Lu Jin said, "Join the Zerg? I've offended quite a few forces. Aren't you Zerg afraid of being besieged by the Demon Race, the Mechanical Race, and the Human Race?"

"We, the Zerg, are fearless!"

"The Lord of the Nether Lotus said with great confidence."

afraid?
What's there to be afraid of?

If the Blood Demon really joins the Zerg, the other three major races should be the ones who are worried.

This was true at least until the Blood Demon became a true god, his innate secret techniques disappeared, and his invincibility ceased to exist.

With the Blood Demon in hand, if any of the three races dare to retaliate against the Zerg, then we'll see who's more ruthless.

Faced with the Zerg's offer of recruitment, Lu Jin pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "If the Ancestor could marry the Queen and become the Queen's husband of your Zerg race..."

Furthermore, if you, Minglian, are willing to discuss the Great Dao of Yin and Yang with me, why shouldn't I join the Zerg?

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Dark Lotus within the dark golden mother nest turned pale.

I originally thought the Blood Demon was just extremely arrogant and bloodthirsty, but I never expected him to be such a big scoundrel!
Not only did he flirt with her, but he also dared to set his sights on many of the universe lords and empresses within his clan.

"Hmph~!"

With a cold snort, the Lord of the Nether Lotus lost all interest in recruiting and directly rode away from the Mother Nest.

The Zerg Queen only needs her sisters who are very close to each other; she doesn't need any males!
"Tsk~"

After clicking his tongue, Lu Jin teleported away.

Subsequently, all the Blood God Child incarnations outside were teleported back to Lingxiao Palace and resumed their work on creating magic.

They extorted money from each of the four major clans, and aside from the 'Qian Yuan Thick Earth Armor' that needed to be returned to the Chaos City Lord, they acquired the supreme treasure palace 'Xuan Sha Thousand Jun Palace', the supreme treasure armor 'Azure Sky God-Slaying Armor', and 'Crimson Flame Demon Scale Armor'.

The Azure Sky God-Slaying Armor and the Crimson Flame Demon Scale Armor aren't expensive, together worth only about 3000 Treasure Points.

However, the value of the Xuansha Qianjun Hall is extremely high.

Generally speaking, the value of a top-tier palace treasure is at least 3000 treasure points.

A supreme treasure can be equivalent to nine top-tier treasures. In addition, given the scarcity of supreme treasures in the supreme palace, its value is probably around 40000 treasure points. Even if you had that many treasure points, there would be nowhere to exchange them.

How to get rich overnight? Only through extortion!
To put it bluntly, aside from the generous and wealthy cheat codes, the mechanical race treated him the best.

Considering how good the mechanical race has been to him, he should act quickly when he eliminates them in the future, and preferably not let them experience too much pain.
