Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 268 Sweeping Through the Prison Clan Alliance
At this moment, the water unicorn clone said, "Your Majesty, you should seriously consider my words."

"If the Heavenly Gate of my Heavenly Court descends upon your insectoid territory, then even if you, Empress, wish to submit to the Heavenly Court, you will only be able to become my maidservant."

After saying that, the Water Qilin clone flew towards the Heavenly Crystal Saint Lord.

The Mountain and River Map can suppress the supreme treasures of the peak palaces, but the Queen's Nest is the supreme treasure of the palaces, and it cannot suppress it at all.

Within the primordial universe, even the most powerful palaces and treasures could not be suppressed, nor could material attacks shake them; Lu Jin had no choice but to let them leave.

"Humph!"

The Zerg Queen snorted coldly, accelerated her Queen's Nest, and then disappeared into the dark universe.

"Tianjing, I'll give you one last chance: become my soul servant, and your Crystal Clan bloodline will be preserved."

Of the five true gods, two were suppressed and two had already departed, Lu Jin said to the only remaining Heavenly Crystal Saint Lord.

"Absolutely impossible!"

Under the combined attack of the Time Dragon's clone and the giant axe, the Heavenly Crystal Saint Lord, who had no way to escape, said without hesitation.

"Since that's the case, then you Crystal Clan shall turn to ashes."

Lu Jin said coldly, carrying the Map of Mountains and Rivers and the God-Slaying Spear, and charged towards the Heavenly Crystal Saint Lord.

Before long, with the combined efforts of Lu Jin's main body, his two avatars, and the giant axe, the Heavenly Crystal Saint Lord followed in the footsteps of the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Zhen Demon Ancestor, and the supreme treasure of the peak palace was also suppressed into the Mountain and River Map.

Then, looking around at the twenty remaining Universe Lords of the Crystal Clan Alliance on the entire battlefield, Lu Jin said, "The Heavenly Crystal has been suppressed. If you do not wish to perish immediately, then give up resistance and enter my sealed treasure."

As he spoke, the Mountain and River Map was summoned once more, directly manifesting to a size of one light-year, and a terrifying suction power descended upon many Crystal Clan Alliance Universe Lords.

Once inside his "Map of Mountains and Rivers," these cosmic rulers have no say in the matter.

At that time, the terrifying will of the black-patterned stone pillars will impact and kill them, regardless of whether they have clones or not, they will be able to drop the divine sparks of the spacetime laws and bloodline source crystals.

In contrast, if the killing is done on-site, most universe lords cannot leave behind a corpse due to the existence of soul-type treasures.

It can be said that without the help of the sealing treasure to suppress them and the black-patterned stone pillar to kill them, if any master of the universe possesses a top-quality soul treasure of high quality, or if they do not have a soul themselves, the Heavenly Court would not be able to obtain their corpses.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

At this moment, eight violent roars rang out in succession, and a terrifying energy shock suddenly appeared. It turned out that the eight remaining Crystal Clan Universe Lords on the battlefield had chosen to self-destruct.

"I don't know how to praise."

Lu Jin said in a cold voice.

After the eight Crystal Clan Universe Lords self-destructed, the remaining twelve Universe Lords all chose to give up resistance.

That's not hard to understand.

As long as the Heavenly Court doesn't enslave their souls, for these cosmic lords of the Crystal Clan Alliance, it's simply a matter of changing their leader, and this new leader might even be stronger than the old one.

Furthermore, by switching allegiance, their original ethnic group can be preserved.

However, for the Crystal Clan's universe lord, the Heavenly Court was an irreconcilable enemy that could destroy their race. As the highest level of their race, they simply could not accept the humiliation of surrendering and submitting.

Moreover, these self-destructing Crystal Clan Universe Lords knew that the Heavenly Court might be lenient with the Crystal Clan Alliance Universe Lords.

Because a mere powerful race is simply not enough to threaten the Heavenly Court and the human race.

Moreover, as long as the cosmic master of the clan does not perish, there is no such thing as hatred.

But these Crystal Clan Universe Lords are different. Due to the irreconcilable hatred of their annihilation, the Heavenly Court will inevitably subjugate them through soul enslavement.

To be reduced to soul slaves, and to lead their people to submit to a mortal enemy that would destroy their race—they'd rather die than be such cowards.

Dispersing his domain of light and flame, Lu Jin turned to a cosmic lord-level general who belonged to the Heavenly God Temple and was of Earthly origin, and said, "Mixed Light."

"My subordinate is here."

The burly Lord of Chaos stepped forward and bowed in respect.

"You will stay here for the time being and take the opportunity to gather the Crystal Clan's legacy. If any true god attacks, notify me immediately."

Lu Jin pointed to the Crystal Clan headquarters, which was tens of light-years away.

As a top-tier fifth-order universe lord with a perfect genetic divine body, even if a true god were to launch a sneak attack, he would not be killed in a short time and would definitely be able to hold out until the god travels through space to arrive.

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor."

The Lord of Chaos bowed and accepted the order.

Lu Jin looked at the others and said, "The rest of you, return to the Heavenly Realm."

"Yes!"

Zi Zhenfeng and the other forty-one others responded and returned to the Heavenly Realm through the Western Heavenly Gate.

"Giant Axe, there's another match coming up, wanna go together?"

Lu Jin asked the giant axe.

The giant axe said, "Of course, together."

Lu Jin nodded: "Alright, let's go into the Heavenly Realm first. The Southern Heavenly Gate will descend upon the heart of the Prison Clan later."

The Eastern Heavenly Gate is on Earth; Lu Jin will not move it unless absolutely necessary.

The North Heavenly Gate is located within the space of the black-patterned stone pillar in the Cosmic Boat. Lu Jin will not move the North Heavenly Gate's location in the outside world to avoid having to make another trip in the future.

However, the South Heavenly Gate can be moved, so temporarily severing the connection between the Heavenly Court and the human realm in reality is not a big deal.

After sweeping away the Prison Clan Alliance, the Western Heavenly Gate was placed at the border between the original Crystal Clan and Prison Clan territories, while the Southern Heavenly Gate was returned to the Milky Way, making it convenient for the human race to use resources to build the new territory conquered by the Heavenly Court.

As one of the six supreme races of the primordial universe, the birthplace of the Prison Clan is a place called 'Prison'.

The 'prison' is extremely dangerous, and the lives born from it fight each other, with countless lives falling every moment.

They come in various forms and are divided into many kinds, but because they all originated from 'prison', they are collectively called the Prison Clan.

Among the countless beings of the Prison Clan, the one with the highest status and the strongest power is undoubtedly the Prison Clan's only true god—the Demon Ancestor.

At the summit of the Prison Clan's ancestral mountain range, a vast and majestic mountain range, stands a cluster of palaces.

Inside a magnificent temple at the center of the palace complex, numerous powerful figures gathered.

On the throne at the head of the temple sat an evil figure with a body of mixed silver and black. The evil figure was roughly humanoid, but had a long, sharp tail like a scorpion's tail.

Inside the main hall stood sixteen figures emanating from the laws of spacetime.

These figures come in all shapes and sizes; some are flesh-and-blood creatures, some are rock-like creatures, and there are even some metallic creatures.

Of the six top races, it is said that the demon race has the most varieties, but in reality, the prison race has even more varieties.

The fact that the highest-ranking members of the Prison Clan gathered together was naturally due to the great battle that had broken out within the Crystal Clan's territory.

The Crystal and Prison clans are rivals, and they have planted many spies in each other's camps.

The Heavenly Court's campaign against the Crystal Clan was so significant that the Prison Clan's spies planted within the Crystal Clan immediately relayed the news back to the Prison Clan upon discovering it.

Although undercover agents cannot rise to high positions, are unaware of detailed battle situations, and there is a certain delay in intelligence gathering.

However, the highest levels of the Prison Clan were well aware that the Crystal Clan was facing enormous trouble.

The Human Heavenly Court is a ruthless force. The two True Gods who perished in the Cosmic Sea and the several Universe Lords who fell from the Demon Race are bloody examples.

"Demon Ancestor, although the specific details of the battle are still unknown, the Crystal Clan must have suffered considerable losses this time."

After the great war between the Human Heavenly Court and the Crystal Clan ends, will my Hell Clan add fuel to the fire for the Crystal Clan?

The Lord of the Lions, with a pair of huge curved horns on his head, long blood-red hair cascading down his shoulders, and his body covered in blue and black scales, spoke.

"What Bashi said makes sense!"

"That's exactly what should be done! The evil Crystal Clan should have been destroyed long ago."

"With the battle between the Crystal Clan and the Heavenly Court, even if not many of the Lords of the Universe have perished, their divine bodies are certainly not in their best condition."

If my Hell Clan were to launch a post-war campaign, we might be able to kill a few Universe Lords who hadn't yet recovered their divine bodies.

"Even killing just one universe master would be good."

As soon as the Lord of the Lion finished speaking, all the Lords of the Prison Clan in the hall echoed his words.

At this moment, the highest levels of the Prison Clan were unaware that the Crystal Clan's losses were not simply minor, but rather that the Heavenly Court had wiped out the entire clan and its alliance's highest levels.

Even the pillar of the Crystal Clan, the true god-level 'Heavenly Crystal Saint Lord', was suppressed by a sealing treasure.

"Prison King, what do you think?"

The Demon Ancestor at the head of the temple spoke to an evil being with black flames burning in his eyes, wearing simple armor and a skull on his head.

The Prison King is a special life form born in the 'Prison'. Its true form is a huge black throne, which can freely transform into a divine body.

In terms of strength, the Prison King is the second strongest member of the Prison Clan after the Demon Ancestor, and is also one of the top fifth-tier universe masters in the primordial universe.

Moreover, because the divine body possesses some of the characteristics of a supreme treasure, it is similar to a supreme treasure.

Although the Prison King was only at the top of the fifth rank, even if a true god intervened, he would not pose a fatal threat to him in the primordial universe.

"Let's fight! Such a golden opportunity cannot be missed."

"The King of Prisons said in a deep voice."

Upon hearing this, a hazy red light flashed in the Demon Ancestor's eyes, and he said, "Then it's settled! After the Human Heavenly Court retreats, my Crystal Clan will immediately take over and make sure to give the Heavenly Crystal an unforgettable experience. Who?!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Demon Ancestor on the throne stood up, his gaze traversing space to look at a blue-gold figure that had teleported to the ancestral mountain of the Prison Clan, several light-years away.

"The Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Emperor Lingxiao."

Lu Jin said, "I arrived by traversing space and teleporting using the Kunlun Mirror."

"The Heavenly Court? What brings you here?"

The Demon Ancestor said in a deep voice.

The Demon Ancestor was puzzled. Wasn't the Heavenly Court fighting with the Crystal Clan right now? Why was the Heavenly Emperor coming to the Prison Clan?
Could it be that they've come to ask the Prison Clan for reinforcements?
Hmm, it's not impossible.

"We have come here to send the Demon Ancestor on his way!"

Having said that, Lu Jinxin had a thought, and the majestic South Heavenly Gate, hundreds of millions of kilometers high, materialized behind him and descended outside the ancestral mountain in the heart of the Prison Clan.

"How brave!"

The Demon Ancestor was furious and roared, "I, the Demon Ancestor, want to see what kind of power your Heavenly Court has to wage war against two top-tier races at the same time."

"Hehe~" Lu Jin looked disdainful, and forty-three figures flew out from the South Heavenly Gate behind him.

A giant axe of true god-level power, and forty-two top-tier fifth-order universe lords, led by the Lord of Cangwu of the Spirit Treasure Hall.

With his gaze fixed on the giant axe and the forty-two universe lords that appeared behind Lu Jin, the Demon Ancestor felt immense pressure.

A single giant axe would be enough to restrain him.

While the Prison King is quite powerful, the Prison Clan's universe lords are ultimately outnumbered and are no match for the forty-odd universe lords of the Heavenly Court.

Without hesitation, the Demon Ancestor summoned the Universe Lords of the Prison Clan Alliance to come to the Prison Clan Ancestral Mountain to provide support.

"Demon Ancestor, I'm giving you a chance. Summon all the Universe Lords of the Prison Clan Alliance."

As he spoke, Lu Jin looked at the group of Prison Clan Universe Lords in the temple and said, "Fellow Prison Clan members, if you wish to surrender later, just obediently give up your resistance and enter my sealed treasure."

"Giant Axe, are you sure you want to go this crazy with Ling Xiao?"

The Demon Ancestor's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he asked the giant axe.

"Chi~"

Giant Axe chuckled but didn't reply.

This Demon Ancestor probably doesn't realize he's about to die!

In the previous battle that swept through the Crystal Clan Alliance's upper echelons, of the five enemy True Gods who appeared on the battlefield, three were suppressed and two fled.

If the Demon Ancestor knew, he would probably run away right now, or even hide in his own miniature universe.

"Wow!" "Wow!" "Wow!"

Not far from the Prison Ancestor Temple atop the mountain, within the Demon God Palace, the light of the Divine Kingdom's teleportation system continuously shone, as the Prison Clan Alliance's Universe Lords arrived one after another.

Even within the Prison Ancestor Temple, divine kingdom teleportation lights shone brightly, and several universe lords arrived.

It is obvious that the several universe lords who came to the Prison Clan Temple through the divine kingdom were avatars of the Prison Clan universe lords.

Before long, the Demon Ancestor waved his hand, and led a group of universe lords to teleport trillions of kilometers away from the Southern Heavenly Gate, where they confronted the Heavenly Court.

"One true god, plus his avatars, makes a total of forty-five universe-lord divine bodies. This strength is considerably greater than that of the Crystal Clan Alliance."

Lu Jin nodded in approval.

Upon hearing this, the Demon Ancestor felt a bad premonition: "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that not long ago, the Crystal Clan Alliance's leadership, whose lineup was inferior to your Prison Clan Alliance, has become history."

I wonder how long your Prison Clan Alliance can hold out?
To reiterate, if anyone is prepared to surrender, they should simply cease resistance.

After saying that, Lu Jin thought for a moment, his divine power burned, and endless blue light bloomed, instantly covering an area of ​​hundreds of light-years with his ice flame domain.

In an instant, the Demon Ancestor and all the Lords of the Prison Clan Alliance found themselves mired in a quagmire, their movements severely restricted.

"Demon Ancestor, die!"

At this moment, Giant Axe let out a loud shout, and carrying his terrifying axe, he charged towards the Demon Ancestor while simultaneously cleaving down with an axe.

"boom--"

As the surging divine power flowed, a terrifying axe light, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, suddenly appeared and shot towards the Demon Ancestor.

"Whoosh!"

Lu Jin did not join forces with the giant axe to fight the Demon Ancestor, but instead directly summoned the Mountain and River Map.

The moment it materialized, the Mountain and River Map rapidly expanded to trillions of kilometers, unleashing a terrifying suction force that acted upon the universe lords of the Prison Clan Alliance.

"A supreme treasure of the sealing type?"

Sensing the terrifying pressure emanating from the Mountain and River Map, the Prison King, who had transformed his divine body into a humanoid form, exclaimed in horror.

"Pfft~" "Pfft~"

Suddenly, two soft sounds rang out, and the divine bodies of the two Prison Clan Alliance Universe Lords dissipated, leaving only a few supreme treasures floating in the distance.

"Haha~, Demon Ancestor, are you Prison Clan Alliance trying to make me laugh to death? The battle hasn't even started yet and two of you have already skipped it?"

Seeing that two Universe Lords from the Prison Clan Alliance had arrived in avatars, Lu Jin couldn't help but mock them, immediately canceling his own avatar.

Indeed, those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts.

When it really comes down to it, the higher-ups of the same clan, for the sake of their own honor and dignity, are often willing to die rather than submit.

After all, he has become the master of the universe, so his arrogance goes without saying.

However, the likelihood of high-ranking members of the alien races within the alliance becoming spineless or deserters increases significantly.

At worst, we can find a new leader, or lead the entire race to relocate to a remote part of the universe.

"boom!"

The Demon Ancestor had no time to reply. A terrifying axe light struck him, accompanied by a violent roar, and the Demon Ancestor's majestic divine body was directly blasted back.

However, within the primordial universe, the upper limit of the attack power of a single consciousness is only the peak of the sixth rank, so the giant axe could not harm the Demon Ancestor.

Even in the cosmic sea, the giant axe could not pose a fatal threat to the Demon Ancestor.

Because the Demon Ancestor is also an eighth-order True God, and an eighth-order True God who possesses the most powerful and precious armor.

With the million-fold material damage reduction of the Supreme Treasure Armor, coupled with the fact that True Gods can receive energy devoured by miniature universes through the Heart of True God, it is difficult to be killed by human intervention unless encountering a sealing-type Supreme Treasure.

At the same time, forty-two top-tier fifth-order universe lords from the Heavenly Court activated their three heads and six arms, transforming into streams of light to join the battlefield, and each then faced off against a universe lord from the Prison Clan.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Divine power surged, the starry sky trembled, and the entire battle entered a white-hot phase.

The Prison Clan Alliance's cosmic lords not only had to deal with attacks from their opponents and the instigation of the Ice Flame Domain, but also had to resist the absorption of the Mountain and River Map. This was beyond what the word 'difficult' could describe.

"The Millstone of Chaos!"

Behind the Lord of Cangwu, a huge secret pattern appeared. As divine power surged, boundless chaotic energy rushed out, transforming into a huge gray millstone that enveloped a third-tier universe lord of the Prison Clan Alliance in the distance.

"Boom~"

As the gray millstone spun, this third-tier universe lord of the Prison Clan Alliance felt his divine body being rapidly obliterated.

Soon, when the gray millstone disappeared, and the Lord of Cangwu was about to activate his strongest innate secret technique once again.

The Lord of the Universe of the Prison Clan Alliance gritted his teeth and not only stopped resisting the absorption power of the Mountain and River Map, but also flew directly towards the Mountain and River Map along with this absorption power.

He wasn't born into the Prison Clan, nor did he bear the glory of the highest level of a peak clan. Joining the Prison Clan Alliance was just about finding a backer.

If the Heavenly Court of the human race were to take in followers, then switching allegiance wouldn't be an unacceptable thing.

Besides, if he doesn't back down now, the Heavenly Court Universe Lord in front of him, whose strength is definitely at least at the fifth level, will kill him, and he won't even have a chance to back down then.

'good! ’

Seeing that his opponent was so pragmatic, the Lord of Cangwu nodded in approval.

His most powerful innate secret technique can be maintained indefinitely until his divine power is exhausted; previously, it was only released with minimal consumption.

The reason for this is that the Lord of Cangwu knows that, to the Heavenly Court, the corpses of the Lord of the Universe and the True God are precious objects.

Lingbao Hall has been offering to buy items for a long time, with the former costing 1000 Treasure Points per item and the latter costing 50000 Treasure Points per item.

Forcing a lord of an alien universe to enter the Heavenly Emperor's Map of Mountains and Rivers is practically equivalent to generating 1000 Treasure Points for the Heavenly Court.

This is not the only instance where the Lord of the Prison Clan Alliance actively entered the Mountain and River Map.

After the first instance, more and more examples followed, with the Prison Clan Alliance Universe Lords, who had suffered horrific defeats, entering the Mountain and River Map either voluntarily or involuntarily.

Of course, this group also includes the rulers of the Prison Clan universe.

As for these Prison Clan Universe Lords, whether they were powerless to resist being taken in, or whether they thought it was better to live a miserable life than to die and were thus taken in by going with the flow, Lu Jin had no idea.

Among the six top clans, the Prison Clan is definitely at the bottom in terms of unity.

Because every life of the Prison Clan emerges from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​bones composed of countless other Prison Clan lives.

They are already accustomed to killing each other, and given their different life forms, they are only born in the same region, so their unity is naturally not very high.

Within minutes of the start of the battle, on the battlefield outside the Prison Clan Ancestral God Mountain, only the Demon Ancestor and the Prison King remained of the highest-ranking members of the Prison Clan Alliance who were still putting up a fight.

The speed was so fast mainly due to the immense restrictive power of the Light Flame Domain, and the fact that the universe lords of the Prison Clan Alliance had not perished, but were suppressed by the Mountain and River Map.

For cosmic lords whose divine bodies are generally enormous, it would take a considerable amount of time to completely annihilate the opponent's divine body without a significant advantage in strength.

However, the method of using a sealing treasure to suppress an enemy is different. The speed at which a sealing treasure can suppress an enemy depends solely on the absorption power of the sealing treasure and the enemy's resistance.

If they are powerless to resist, they will be suppressed inside the sealed treasure within minutes or even seconds.

After suppressing all the universe masters of the Prison Clan Alliance, Lu Jin glanced at the Demon Ancestor, who was being held back by the giant axe, and then turned his gaze to the Prison King.

It must be said that the Prison King's strength is quite remarkable, especially in terms of his resilience.

Its divine body is extremely special, almost a treasure, and its body is exceptionally tough.

Despite being besieged by numerous top-tier fifth-order universe lords of the Heavenly Court, his divine body showed no signs of weakening compared to the beginning.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the time the prison king was besieged was still short.

Otherwise, even the most powerful fifth-tier universe master would not be able to withstand the siege of dozens of equally powerful individuals.

"Shh!"

With the God-Slaying Spear in hand, Lu Jin activated the strongest fusion secret technique, 'Fleeting Beauty,' unleashing 10081 dazzling blue-gold rays that simultaneously pierced towards the Prison King, who was being besieged by numerous Heavenly Court Universe Lords.

Under the dense barrage of blue and gold spear tips, they all struck the same spot simultaneously.

"boom--"

A violent roar resounded, and the Prison King, who had already manifested his true form and presented a majestic black throne, was directly knocked away by Lu Jin.

It's a pity that the King of Hell doesn't have a soul.

The God-Slaying Spear's Mystic Mark only works on beings with souls, so the Prison King doesn't need to suffer the pain of having his soul torn apart.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Lu Jin unleashed the God-Slaying Spear in his hand one after another, repeatedly activating the strongest secret technique, 'Fleeting Beauty'. The Prison King's divine body was repeatedly blasted away, like a small, lonely boat in a raging storm.
