Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 269 Qiankun Palace, 4936 Star Sectors

"Shh!"

At this moment, the Map of Mountains and Rivers shot out and landed behind the King of Hell.

"boom!"

Then, under Lu Jin's bombardment of the strongest secret technique, the Prison King, who was beaten to the point of no power, was successfully suppressed and taken into the Mountain and River Map.

At this point, the highest level of the Prison Clan Alliance on the battlefield was left only with the Demon Ancestor, a true god.

'waste!'

Seeing the Prison King being suppressed with almost no power to fight back, the Demon Ancestor cursed inwardly.

At first, the Demon Ancestor thought that the Prison Clan Alliance still had the strength to fight back.

But after the war started, he stopped thinking that way.

With a true god-level giant axe, the Lord of Lingxiao wielding the most powerful treasure, plus more than forty top-tier fifth-order universe lords, how could the Prison Clan Alliance possibly fight them?
The Demon Ancestor knew that his side's defeat was irreversible.

If this drags on, even he, a true god, will be suppressed by the supreme treasure of the Lingxiao Lord.

As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn; it's best to run away as soon as possible.

As long as he hides in his own miniature universe, no matter how powerful the Heavenly Court is, it can't do anything to him.

Understanding the situation is one thing; being able to act on it is another.

Being within the domain formed by the supreme treasure of the supreme domain, his body was severely restricted, and with the giant axe holding him back, he had no chance to escape at all.

"Ling Xiao, how about letting me leave?"

"The Demon Ancestor shouted loudly."

"Innocent!"

Lu Jin said coldly, "Demon Ancestor, today you either self-destruct or enter my sealed treasure. There is no other choice."

With that, Lu Jin, carrying the God-Slaying Spear, transformed into a streak of light and charged toward the Demon Ancestor.

At the same time, the "Map of Mountains and Rivers" also swept towards the Demon Ancestor.

The Demon Ancestor, a true god-level being, is the pillar of the Prison Clan, and Lu Jin will not let him escape.

Moreover, the Demon Ancestor represents a supreme treasure armor, a true god-level law divine spark, and a perfect gene bloodline source crystal from the outside world.

If the Demon Ancestor is released, even if he doesn't cause trouble for the Heavenly Court in the future, it will still be a huge loss for the Heavenly Court.

The two major alliances are one thing, but as the Crystal Clan and the Prison Clan, which are the pinnacle races, the Heavenly Court will not only not let go of any of their highest-ranking members, but will also not let go of the members of the two races with lower life levels when it comes to the cleanup afterwards.

In the future, the Heavenly Court may even issue a universal manhunt to find and eliminate the remnants of both races.

Having incurred such a blood feud that could lead to the extermination of one's entire clan, one should be ruthless and merciless, without any room for sentimentality.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Court itself is not afraid of retaliation, but it would be quite disgusting if the remnants of the two races would jump out and cause trouble from time to time.

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

Despite his grief and anger, the Demon Ancestor did not surrender and continued to resist with all his might.

However, the Demon Ancestor's resistance was destined to be futile. Before long, the Demon Ancestor, along with his supreme treasure palace, was suppressed by Lu Jin within the Mountain and River Map.

"Done!"

The plan was successfully completed, and the demon clan's Meng Cha and Zhen Jiao were also suppressed incidentally. Lu Jin nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, the giant axe reminded Lu Jin, "Ling Xiao, Tianjing, Mengcha, Zhenjiao, and Mozu are all true gods of the original universe. Although their small universes will collapse after their fall, the life inside will not perish instantly."

After the fall of the true gods in the first and second cycles of reincarnation and the collapse of the mini-universes, the life forms that resided in the mini-universes of the true gods would instantly perish.

However, the life forms existing within the microcosms of the true gods of the primordial universe were not like that.

Just like in the original story, when the giant axe fell and the small universe collapsed, a large number of humans within it did not die out directly. Many of them were taken away by the high-ranking members of the Giant Axe Arena, such as the Lord of Void Gold.

After a pause, Giant Axe said, "I shall take my leave now. With the Heavenly Court sweeping through the Crystal Clan and the Prison Clan alliance, various forces in the universe will surely be secretly colluding. I must return to my clan to prepare for this."

Lu Jin nodded and said, "Alright, Giant Axe, you also contributed a lot to clearing out the two alliances this time. I'll invite you over after I've sorted out the spoils of war."

"Haha~, no need to be polite. The best reward is that the tribe can expand into new territories."

The giant axe waved its hand dismissively, then transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the dark universe.

"Tsk~"

After clicking his tongue, Lu Jin turned to a Heavenly General of the Universe Lord level and instructed him: "Geng Jin, you stay at the Prison Clan's ancestral mountain for the time being and collect treasures. If there is any emergency, notify me immediately."

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor."

The master of Geng Metal bowed and accepted the order.

Afterwards, Lu Jin led everyone through the South Heavenly Gate and returned to the Heavenly Court.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace of the Great Luo Heaven, numerous figures gathered.

"Gentlemen, the plan has been successfully completed. The highest levels of the Crystal and Prison Alliances have been swept away. The next step is to clean up the mess."

As Lu Jin spoke, his gaze turned to Zi Zhenfeng: "Brightness."

"Emperor of Heaven."

Zi Zhenfeng stepped forward and bowed.

Lu Jin said, "In this great battle, it is possible that there are universe lords who are not present in the two major alliances."

Or a cosmic ruler who possesses the secret technique of creating clones, whose clones have already perished on the battlefield, while the original self and other clones are still alive.

In other words, there are still cosmic rulers within the territories of the two major alliances.

The Celestial Temple dispatched ten Perfect Gene Universe Lords to oversee the territories of the two alliances, dealing with the remaining Universe Lords and top Universe Overlords, ensuring that they do not hinder the cleanup work.

In addition, four true gods are suppressed within the Mountain and River Map, which I will eventually eliminate.

At that time, their mini-universes will collapse. The Celestial Temple will send forty Perfect Gene Universe Lords to the Netherworld Celestial Kingdom to accompany me in my avatar to clean up their mini-universes.

Furthermore, send another perfect-gene universe master to replace the Empress and oversee Earth.

There are currently three types of celestial generals within the Temple of the Gods.

There are three types: one is the cosmic overlord, another is the cosmic lord whose life genes are not yet perfect, and the last is the cosmic lord with perfect genes. It is quite complicated.

However, Lu Jin did not intend to further subdivide the data.

The present moment is just that—the present moment—and does not represent the future.

The reason why there are three different types of Heavenly Generals is simply because they lack the divine spark of the spacetime law or the divine spark of the fusion law, and they also lack the treasures to enhance their life genes.

He will cultivate all the future Heavenly Generals to become Lords of the Universe, therefore he will not make separate distinctions.

In the current original version of the Heavenly Court, those who have not yet become the Lord of the Universe will be the Heavenly Soldiers, the Lord of the Universe will be the Heavenly Generals, and the True Gods will be the Heavenly Kings.

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor!"

Zi Zhenfeng bowed and said.

"Dawn".

Lu Jin turned to look at the Lord of Dawn of the Heavenly Spirit Palace. "Heavenly Emperor."

The Lord of Dawn stepped forward and bowed.

Lu Jin said, "The Heavenly Spirit Palace issued a war mission to clear out alien life from a total of 4936 star fields of the two alliances, making room for our human race to survive."

Kill those without souls directly. If they have souls, try to collect them using a world ring and then send them to the Mountain and Sea Heaven.

Furthermore, this war mission is not limited to members of the Heavenly Court; all humans with a life level no lower than a Realm Lord are eligible to accept it.

There are many soulless beings in the universe, and once a soulless being reaches the level of a domain lord, it can no longer be controlled by a slave chip.

The Heavenly Court doesn't need such uncontrolled groups; they should be physically eliminated.

A being with a soul can be enslaved by a soul. Once its life level reaches the realm lord and immortal, it will become a qualified beast of burden, possessing certain value.

The Shanhaitian region can be viewed as a supercontinent with a diameter of 129600 light-years. Even though it was filled with most of the demon race's territory of demon beasts, it was still quite empty.

After all, the territory is the universe, and the distance between life-bearing planets and other life-bearing planets is vast.

However, the mountains and seas are a single landmass. Although its spatial extent is far smaller than that of the universe, it can support an extremely high number of life forms.

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor!"

The Lord of Dawn bowed and said.

"Ling Yuan".

Then, Lu Jin looked at a Heavenly General of the Universe Lord level with perfect genes, who was born on Earth and wore crimson battle armor, had long fiery red hair, a seductive figure, and was dressed in crimson battle armor.

"Emperor of Heaven."

The Lord of Lingyuan stepped forward and bowed.

"You are leaving the ranks of Heavenly Generals. The Heavenly Court has established a new Qiankun Palace, dedicated to the administration of the territory. You will serve as the Palace Master of the Qiankun Palace."

As Lu Jin spoke, he took out a top-grade palace treasure from his external space. After recognizing it as his master, he waved his hand and it transformed into a magnificent white jade palace complex in the distance from Lingxiao Palace. Above the lintel of the central main hall, the two characters 'Qiankun' appeared.

"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!"

"Lord of the Clouds said with great excitement."

"Subsequently, you will select 4936 alien cosmic venerables from the Mountain and Sea Heaven to temporarily serve as guardians of 4936 star sectors, and then gradually replace them with human venerables."

Furthermore, the territories under the Heavenly Court, unlike the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Arena, do not have any cosmic kingdoms.

Apart from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom remaining unchanged, the newly acquired territories will be directly managed from top to bottom by the Qiankun Palace, the Star Sector Management Bureau, the Star Region Management Bureau, and the Galaxy Management Bureau.

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor!"

Lord Lingyuan bowed and said.

Lu Jin looked at Xu Xin: "Mingyue, Yanhuang Company has a lot of tasks ahead."

The population within Xuanhuang Heaven is limited, and only a small portion of Xuanhuang Heaven has been developed so far.

Therefore, the 4936 new star sectors acquired by the Heavenly Court will not be filled with the population of the Xuanhuang Heaven, but will be filled by immigrants from the densely populated areas within the 1008 cosmic kingdoms.

Once these newly acquired star sectors have been cleared, the specific immigration matters will be handled by the Yanhuang Company.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Xu Xin assured him with great enthusiasm.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Jin added, "Immigrants should try to choose those who look similar to Earthlings."

Although all humans in the universe are human, there are many with bizarre appearances, looking almost like demons and monsters.

If possible, Lu Jin hoped that the population living on his Heavenly Court's territory would look more pleasing to the eye.

Anyway, population reproduction is simple. As long as the territory and living resources are sufficient, ordinary humans can reproduce a generation every twenty years or so.

If just 100,000 people were to migrate to a habitable planet, it wouldn't take many years for that planet to develop into a populous superplanet.

It can be said that in the past, the only limitations on the size of the human race were the limited territory and the lack of powerful individuals who could not protect too many territories.

After the meeting, one of Lu Jin's Blood God Child incarnations used the Kunlun Mirror to travel to the border between the Crystal Clan and the Prison Clan, moved the Western Heaven Gate from the Crystal Clan headquarters, and connected it to the Nine Heavens.

Meanwhile, the Southern Heavenly Gate reappeared in the void of the Milky Way.

Personnel who subsequently accept war missions can enter the territories of the two major alliances via the routes of the South Heavenly Gate, the Nine Heavens, and the West Heavenly Gate.

Four ordinary Blood God Child incarnations, each accompanied by ten Perfect Gene Universe Lord-level Heavenly Generals, traveled to the Cosmic Sea using the Kunlun Mirror, and squatted outside the small universes of the Heavenly Crystal Saint Lord, Dream Demon Ancestor, Zhen Demon Ancestor, and Demon Ancestor.

Meanwhile, the diameter is confined within a cage-like space of tens of millions of kilometers.

With a thought, Lu Jin isolated the North Heavenly Gate within the Xuan Sha Heaven, then disappeared at the end of the Willpower Training Ground and manifested within the Fan Long Heaven.

Subsequently, the Mountain and River Map was unleashed, and Lu Jin released all the true gods and cosmic lords that had been suppressed in the previous two great battles.

As expected, since Lu Jin did not use any soul-enslavement techniques on them, none of them sought death on their own.

The next moment, Lu Jin withdrew from the cage and then canceled the separation between the inside and outside of the North Heavenly Gate.

Previously, Lu Jin only said he wouldn't kill them immediately, but he didn't say he would let them go.

Disregarding martial ethics?

After their fall, these cosmic rulers had no right to accuse him of lacking martial virtue.

In an instant, an extremely terrifying shockwave of will erupted from the North Heavenly Gate, spreading throughout the entire Fanlong Heaven.

'boom--'

Before the true gods and cosmic lords who were released from the Mountain and River Map could react much, they felt an incomparably terrifying impact of will descend upon them, and then their consciousness collapsed and they perished.

Suddenly, four true gods and fifty-seven corpses of cosmic lords appeared within the cage of heaven.

Of course, according to intelligence, because a small number of universe lords possess the secret technique of creating clones, these fifty-seven corpses actually came from only forty-eight universe lords.

Just as all the true gods and cosmic lords within the Heavenly Cage were falling...

In various parts of the primordial universe and the cosmic sea, more than a dozen cosmic lords silently perished.

In the region of the cosmic sea that is closer to the original universe, four small universes located in different directions, which were originally full of life, suddenly experienced a world-ending scene of collapse due to the fall of the true god.

Immediately afterwards, each of the small universes that began to collapse was greeted by Lu Jin's Blood God Child incarnation and ten top-tier fifth-order universe masters.

Natural disasters and man-made calamities befell the small universes after the fall of the four true gods.

After resetting the North Heavenly Gate and placing it once again at the end of the Xuan Sha Heavenly Will Training Ground, Lu Jin crossed the Heavenly Realm Passage and entered the dark Fanlong Heaven.

Glancing at the towering divine body of the Heavenly Crystal Saint Lord, which spanned over 90,000 kilometers, Lu Jin raised his hand and waved it. A bright blue light blade appeared and directly chopped off the head of the Heavenly Crystal Saint Lord.

'It's just a head loss, it shouldn't affect my divine spark of law or bloodline source crystal, right?'

Lu Jin thought to himself, after collecting the many treasures that had become ownerless, he stuffed all the corpses into the Demon Refining Pot to decompose.

Before long, the Demon Refining Pot contained a massive amount of True God-level and Universe Lord-level Life Source Crystals, as well as fifty-two Law Godheads and fifty-two Bloodline Source Crystals.

Among the fifty-two Law Godheads, there are four True God-level Law Godheads, forty-seven Spacetime Law Godheads, and one Earth-Space Fusion Law Godhead.

Among the fifty-two bloodline source crystals, there are four perfect gene bloodline source crystals, twenty-three gene bloodline source crystals with a strength of nearly ten thousand times, nineteen gene bloodline source crystals with a strength of several thousand times, and six gene bloodline source crystals with a strength of one thousand times.
