Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 265 Prelude to Territorial Expansion

Achieving the combination of ten thousand times the gene power, the strongest secret technique, and the ultimate treasure makes one a fourth-order universe master.

These eighty-odd Universe Lords of the Heavenly Court, who had achieved perfect genes, each created their own strongest secret technique under the blessing of the Bodhi Tree's enlightenment, and some even possessed their own strongest innate secret technique.

In addition, there are top-grade supreme treasures and armor, including domain-type, soul-type, and palace-type supreme treasures. They are not only top-tier fourth-order universe masters, but also blood tanks with divine bodies spanning over 90,000 kilometers.

Furthermore, with the help of the Bodhi tree, the cultivation of the supernatural power of three heads and six arms, though difficult, is not too difficult.

Zi Zhenfeng and more than eighty other universe masters have all mastered the first level of the Three Heads and Six Arms technique, which can enhance their combat power by one level.

In this way, he would definitely possess the combat power of a top-tier fifth-order universe master.

Each team consists of over forty top-tier fifth-order universe masters, plus several universe masters whose strength is decent, aside from those with excessively small divine bodies. This is enough to sweep through the Crystal Clan Alliance or the Prison Clan Alliance.

At this moment, the Lord of the Dawn of the Heavenly Spirit Palace stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Heavenly Emperor, our Heavenly Court is at war with the Crystal Clan Alliance and the Prison Clan Alliance. This will inevitably have far-reaching consequences."

The demon race, the insect race, the mechanical race, and even the Northern Frontier Alliance and the Starry Sky Beast Alliance may all be involved to prevent the human race from becoming the only dominant force.

With the gates to the heavens closed, the Heavenly Court only needs to protect the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, and it will not fear any retaliation from the alien races.

But our races don't have the same capabilities as our Heavenly Court. How should we deal with them?

Compared to hatred, self-interest is the real reason for tribal wars.

The pie of the primordial universe is limited, and humanity can become strong and even the strongest force in the primordial universe.

However, the major powers in the universe are unwilling to see humanity become the sole dominant force.

When the strength displayed by the human race is enough to frighten all forces, the only thing waiting for the human race is to be attacked by all sides.

If you can't beat them, join them?

Some vassal groups might make this choice, but top-tier groups, or those whose leaders are part of the decision-making body of their respective alliances, generally wouldn't.

I'm doing just fine on my own, why would I be willing to be someone else's lackey?
Anyone with a modicum of sense knows what the fate and treatment will be if one becomes a vassal of a powerful force.

It can be said that the question raised by the Lord of Dawn is not a possibility, but an inevitability.

Lu Jin said, "The first team that swept through the Crystal Clan Alliance's high-level ranks this time was led by my Time Dragon clone, while the second team remained inside the Heavenly Court to serve as a defensive force."

The second team, along with my main body and the Water Kirin clone, was on guard against the super powers of the Northern Frontier Alliance and the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, as well as top-tier forces such as the Nine Domains Alliance and the Thorn Ring Alliance.

If the plan to sweep away the Crystal Clan Alliance's high-ranking members goes smoothly, then when sweeping away the Prison Clan Alliance later, the first team will remain inside the Heavenly Court as a defensive force.

Earth and the Qianwu Universe Kingdom are the basic bases of my Heavenly Court in the outside world. After the war begins, the Lord of Yaochi will be stationed on Earth to protect the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

The Zerg Alliance will be dealt with by the Seven Clouds Lord; the Mech Alliance will be handled by the Hong Alliance later.

As for the demon alliance, I will leave that to my Blood Sea Avatar.

On the surface, the only enemies of the Heavenly Court in this expansion of territory are the original Crystal Clan Alliance and the Prison Clan Alliance.

But in reality, Lu Jin was already prepared to take on the entire universe single-handedly.

With the Time Dragon's avatar leading the team, along with over forty top-tier fifth-order universe masters, they were more than capable of easily crushing the high-ranking members of the Crystal Clan Alliance.

Even if the Prison Clan Alliance enters the fray and joins the Crystal Clan Alliance, we are not afraid.

Facing forces such as the Northern Frontier Alliance, the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, the Nine Domains Alliance, and the Thorn Ring Alliance.

The main body, the Water Kirin clone, and the second team of over forty top-tier fifth-order universe masters could also handle the situation.

After all, most of the universe masters in the original universe were below the fourth level, the fourth level was a minority, and the fifth level was an even smaller minority.

If a fifth-tier top-level universe master were to fight a third-tier universe master, the battle would be over in no time without top-grade palace treasures.

Moreover, even if there are hostile universe lords who possess palace treasures that even top-tier fifth-order beings cannot break through, as long as they are not top-tier palace treasures, they will be suppressed by the top-tier palace treasures of the many top-tier fifth-order universe lords of the Heavenly Court.

Zi Nishang now possesses the strongest secret technique, along with the Purifying Lotus, the Annihilating Lotus, and the Karmic Fire Lotus. Furthermore, she has already mastered the first level of the Three Heads and Six Arms technique, making her strength surpass the upper limit of the primordial universe.

A sixth-tier top-tier universe master is more than capable of protecting the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

The Zerg Alliance, Hong'er and her seven companions can definitely hold them off.

The strongest innate secret technique can be used by all divine bodies; it's just a legion combined attack. Not only their main bodies know it, but their respective little Nether Sea clones also know it.

The main body plus the Little Nether Sea clone, a total of fourteen top-tier sixth-order combatants, are more than enough to deal with the Zerg Alliance.

Moreover, controlling a ghost warrior or a titan warrior to unleash the strongest arcane combo has nothing to do with the strength of the controller's own life genes, but only with the level of arcane power.

Now, Hong'er and her seven companions have all created the strongest secret techniques. With just three thousand ultimate warriors of the universe, the combined power of the legion can reach the top level of the sixth rank.

Hongmeng is quite strong, and it is more than capable of dealing with the Mechanical Race Alliance.

After all, the current rulers of the human race are all perfect genetic gods.

Lu Jin's Netherworld Blood Sea clone didn't take the Demon Clan Alliance seriously at all.

No need for supreme treasures, just top-grade peak treasures, weapons and armor, domain-type and palace-type peak treasures, and the second-tier combat power amplified by the fusion of the strongest secret techniques and divine abilities: Three Heads and Six Arms.

The Blood God Child, an incarnation with a thousand times the life gene, possesses top-tier sixth-order strength.

The Blood God Child, an incarnation with a hundredfold increase in life genes, possesses top-tier fifth-order combat power.

The strongest Blood God Child incarnation is capable of splitting into two Blood God Child incarnations with a thousand times the genetic power, and eighty-one Blood God Child incarnations with a hundred times the genetic power.

Two Blood God Child avatars with a thousand times the genetic power blocked Meng Cha and Zhen Jiao. Could the group of Universe Lords of the Demon Clan Alliance defeat eighty-one Blood God Child avatars with top-tier fifth-order strength?

To put it bluntly, even if the Ancestral God Sect, which was not part of the original plan, also became an enemy of the Heavenly Court, the eighty-one top-tier fifth-order Blood God Child incarnations would be enough to stop the Ancestral God Sect.

If the Ancestral God Sect stays out of it, then the remaining amount of the fifth-tier top-level Blood God Child's avatar, together with the main body and the Water Qilin clone, will guard against forces such as the Northern Frontier Alliance and the Starry Sky Beast Alliance.

Furthermore, this deployment was made in preparation for the immediate siege of humanity by various forces across the universe.

This scenario only exists in theory. It's impossible for all the forces in the universe to unite without some wrangling and bickering.

By taking advantage of the time difference, it can be easily dealt with.

With the combined strength of the Heavenly Court and the Hongmeng Alliance, they are capable of dealing with over a dozen True Gods and thousands of Universe Lords throughout the entire universe.

Lu Jin alone, with his main body, Water Kirin clone, Time Dragon clone, and ten Blood God Child incarnations with a thousand times the gene strength, constitutes thirteen top-tier sixth-order combatants in the primordial universe.

This means there is a shortage of top-tier weapons and armor, as well as top-level domain treasures.

Otherwise, if there were thousands of sets, Lu Jin would directly split the strongest Blood God Child incarnation into 1008 Blood God Child incarnations, each with only ten times the genes but still possessing the strength of a top-tier fourth-order Universe Lord.

In addition to Lu Jin himself and two clones, there are also three top-tier sixth-order cultivators.

Zi Ni Chang is a top-tier sixth-order cultivator, while Hong Er and her seven main bodies plus their clones comprise fourteen top-tier sixth-order cultivators.

With a total of eighteen top-tier sixth-order cultivators and 1008 top-tier fourth-order cultivators, these nine individuals alone could easily defeat all the powerful beings at the level of universe lords or above in the entire primordial universe.

"Heavenly Emperor, when will the campaign against the Crystal Clan Alliance and the Prison Clan Alliance begin?"

Zi Zhenfeng stepped forward, bowed, and asked.

Lu Jin said, "We'll tentatively schedule it for a month from now. Everyone, please go back and prepare. Guangming and Chihong, there will be a high-level meeting of your respective clans soon. Don't be absent."

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor!"

Everyone in the hall bowed and accepted the order.

Subsequently, Lu Jin logged into the virtual universe, went to the Giant Axe Temple, and initiated a meeting of the highest-level members of his race.

Before long, a group of high-ranking human leaders gathered at the long stone table in front of the Giant Axe Temple.

Unlike before, there was one less seat on the right side of the long stone table, but there was an extra seat on the right side of the giant axe.

Sitting on this stone chair is Lu Jin.

Being a member of the highest-level meeting does not necessarily mean becoming the ruler of the universe.

Aside from first-tier universe masters who are extremely rare to encounter, anyone possessing the strength of a second-tier universe master, or having a record of killing a second-tier or higher universe master, can be placed in the highest-level meeting.

Similarly, anyone with the strength of the seventh rank or above, or who has a record of killing a true god, can enjoy the treatment of a true god in the highest-level meeting, and sit in the same row as the giant axe.

Blood Thunder Demon God and Guang Sheng True God are both powerful True Gods in the cosmic sea.

Both of them fell into Lu Jin's hands. Even if Lu Jin was just the Lord of the Universe, the highest-ranking members of the human race would still regard him as a true god.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lu Jin said, "I have summoned you all here because my Heavenly Court is about to make a big move."

"What big move?"

Giant Axe perked up and quickly asked.

The other high-ranking members of the human race also looked at Lu Jin.

Needless to say, under the leadership of the most troublesome person in human history, the Heavenly Court is about to cause trouble again.

However, the people present did not object to the Heavenly Court's meddling, as long as the Heavenly Court did not cause itself to suffer a setback.

Lu Jin said, "We should eat according to our strength. Our clan's territory is limited. We are all of the same human race. My Heavenly Court cannot compete with the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Arena."

Therefore, the Heavenly Court decided to target the Crystal Clan Alliance and the Prison Clan Alliance, and the Heavenly Court would take the territories occupied by these two alliances.

The main purpose of this high-level meeting is to remind everyone to strengthen defenses and prevent any escapees from causing trouble within our borders.

Giant Axe: "."

All the lords of the universe: "."

At this moment, the Lord of Frost said, "Ling Xiao, although the Crystal Clan Alliance and the Prison Clan Alliance are not considered very strong among the nine super powers."

But isn't targeting two superpowers at once too risky?

Lu Jin waved his hand and said, "Teacher, don't worry. The two alliances have two true gods, and if you include their clones, they can only have a hundred or so universe-master god bodies at most."

Moreover, most of these cosmic rulers are at the third tier, a few are at the fourth or second tier, and very few are at the fifth tier; the Heavenly Court is more than capable of dealing with them.

Upon hearing this, apart from Zi Ni Chang and the other two who were well aware of the strength of their own Heavenly Court, everyone present, including Giant Axe, was extremely surprised.

The Lord of Chaos City said with a serious expression, "Ling Xiao, this will inevitably lead to a chain reaction."

If the Heavenly Court goes to war with the Crystal Clan Alliance and the Prison Clan Alliance, needless to say, the insect, demon, and mechanical clan alliance will definitely become strong allies of the Crystal Clan and the Prison Clan Alliance. Our human race is no match for the combined forces of these five super powers.

Although the five forces have joined forces, they are unlikely to be completely harmonious internally, but their strength is absolutely formidable.

In addition, there are several lone strongest beings in the primordial universe, such as the Mountain-Sitting Guest, the Ancestor of Demonic Beasts, the True God of Calamity, the True Demon God of Illusion, and the Lord of the Primordial Island. They may be invited by them with their supreme treasures to deal with my human race.

Even if the possibility is small, we must still consider it.

"Ah."

Lu Jin nodded and said, "What Chaos said is something I've considered before."

Even if the Zerg Alliance, the Demon Alliance, the Northern Frontier Alliance, the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, the Nine Domains Alliance, the Thorn Ring Alliance, and other forces, as well as the Ancestral God Sect and these strongest lone wolves, all oppose the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court can still handle it.

The five major powers and their allies in the Hong Alliance only need to deal with the Mechanical Race Alliance.

"Sigh~"

Everyone present gasped in shock.

It seems the Heavenly Court is going to take on the entire primordial universe single-handedly!
Although Lu Jin didn't say it out loud, with so many forces included, what's missing besides the Hongmeng and the Mechanical Race Alliance, excluding the Heavenly Court?
But seriously, is the Heavenly Court really that powerful?
After a moment of silence, Giant Axe asked, "Ling Xiao, are you confident?"

Lu Jin said, "The Heavenly Court has the strength to deal with them. If Chaos can provide the exact location, the Heavenly Court can suppress all the cosmic lords and true gods who enter the territory in the first instance."

While the Zerg Queen cannot suppress them, she can at least restrain them.

The specific start date for the war is set for after January.

The reason for singleing out the Zerg Queen is that this most beautiful woman in the universe possesses a palace-like supreme treasure.

As for palace-type supreme treasures, they might still have a chance to be sealed in the cosmic sea using the Mountain and River Map, but in the primordial universe, that's basically out of the question.

Well, the Mountain-Sitting Guest probably also possesses a supreme treasure of the palace type, which most likely cannot suppress it.

But this old man shouldn't be so desperate as to oppose the Heavenly Court.

"As long as we are confident, the Virtual Universe Company will naturally provide intelligence support for the inter-race war and lock down every alien universe lord who intrudes into our territory."

The Lord of Chaos City nodded and said.

In his impression, although Lu Jin liked to cause trouble, he was not without the means to do so.

It could even be said that they only started doing things after they had enough capital.

The intelligence department of the Virtual Universe Company has been sharing information about various forces in the universe with the Heavenly Court, so it's impossible for Lu Jin not to know the approximate strength of the major forces in the original universe.

Since he was well aware of the enemy's strength, he still went ahead with the trouble, which shows that the Heavenly Court's strength was truly beyond his imagination.

As for providing intelligence, even if Lu Jin didn't mention it, he would proactively provide it to the Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Court is seizing territory, and it's even seizing territory from alien forces, which is good news for all five major powers.

Just like a virtual universe, not to mention the expansion of its territory, the number of users in a virtual universe will increase.

Taking the Genius Battle organized by Virtual Universe Company as an example, as its territory expands, it will inevitably produce more geniuses.

The overall quality of the geniuses who join the Virtual Universe Company through the Genius Battle will be higher than before.

Similarly, the Lord of Chaos City did not care whether the Heavenly Court became too powerful.

The primordial universe will eventually perish, and only then will the miniature universe of the true god find its home.

Even after two more cycles of reincarnation, the holy land universes like the Purple Moon Holy Land and the Eastern Emperor Holy Land will be eternal.

If no one in our virtual universe company can transform a small universe into a sacred universe before the end of the three reincarnation eras, we might have to rely on the Heavenly Court to survive in the future!
