Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 270 All Demons: Quickly, go and invite the Ancestor of Demon Beasts!

As for the treasures, including those collected during battles, we acquired nearly five hundred treasures this time.

Moreover, the overall quality of these nearly five hundred treasures is extremely high. Except for a few, their value is no less than that of ordinary top-tier treasure weapons.

Among them, there are as many as forty-seven treasures whose value is no less than that of the pinnacle realm, including four supreme treasures.

The 'Spirit Gold Saint Armor' is the most powerful and precious armor from the Crystal Clan's Celestial Crystal Saint Lord, containing six layers of supreme treasure runes.

The "Dream Scale" armor, a supreme treasure from the Dream Demon Ancestor of the Demon Clan, contains seven layers of supreme treasure runes and is classified as a top-grade supreme treasure.

Originating from the Demon Ancestor Zhen Yaozu, the supreme treasure 'Shattering Domain Cone' contains seven layers of supreme treasure runes, making it a top-grade supreme treasure.

Furthermore, the Shattering Cone can be used as both a telekinetic weapon and a melee weapon.

The Hellfire Armor, a supreme treasure armor from the Demon Ancestor of the Hell Clan, contains six layers of supreme treasure runes.

"Adding to the previously acquired Bloodflame Demon Thunder Halberd, Thousand-Pound Domain-Shattering Hammer, and Holy Sacrifice Sun Armor, there are now three supreme treasure weapons and four supreme treasure armors."

Lu Jin thought to himself.

After some deliberation, Lu Jin returned to the Great Luo Heaven and stored most of the treasures he had obtained from sweeping through the two alliances in the treasure vault of the Spirit Treasure Hall.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, Lu Jin summoned fifty-four celestial generals, all of whom possessed the strength of cosmic overlords.

After adding two spacetime law divine sparks and bloodline source crystals from his inventory, Lu Jin bestowed four true god-level law divine sparks, fifty universe lord-level law divine sparks, and fifty bloodline source crystals.

At this point, the Heavenly Court will soon have another fifty Universe Lords, and among them, twenty-three Universe Lords who have obtained nearly ten thousand times the genetic bloodline source crystal will also be Universe Lords with perfect genetic divine bodies.

Once you achieve perfect genes, the strongest talent you gain will be an attack-type secret technique. If you cultivate the supernatural power of Three Heads and Six Arms (first level) and combine it with a fully equipped ultimate treasure, you can become a top-tier fifth-order universe master.

Similarly, Lu Jin still bestowed the title of Heavenly King upon the four overlord-level Heavenly Generals who had obtained the True God-level Law Godhood, and instructed them to first cultivate various secret techniques and temper their will to accumulate more experience.

In the future, when he enters the realm of true godhood through the divine status of laws and comprehends the brief evolution of chaos, he will create a high-level secret technique in one fell swoop, saving him countless years of arduous cultivation.

After completing the training of a new round of experts, Lu Jin summoned another Heavenly General from the Heavenly God Temple.

"Hengyu greets the Heavenly Emperor."

A man with flowing black hair and a square face, the perfect gene universe master, entered the Lingxiao Palace and bowed to Lu Jin.

"No need for formalities! Hengyu, go to the Ancestral God Sect. This World Ring contains the head of the Heavenly Crystal Saint Lord. Give it to the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds."

Lu Jin waved his hand, and a world ring fell in front of the Lord of Hengyu.

When the Time Dragon's avatar opened the treasure left by the Lord of Dawn in the treasure land, the Lord of Dawn left a message saying that the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds was her sworn brother, but she did not mention the three ancestral gods.

It is evident that the Lord of Dawn has the best relationship with the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

Since that's the case, then the precious head of the Heavenly Crystal Saint Lord shall be handed over to the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

Similarly, Lu Jin also fulfilled the promise he made to himself when he first received the inheritance of the Lord of Dawn.

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor!"

The Lord of Hengyu accepted the World Ring, bowed, and then withdrew from the Lingxiao Palace.

Lu Jin said to Fatty, "Fatty, send a message to Giant Axe and tell him to come to the Heavenly Court. I'll be waiting for him in the Nine Heavens."

Fatty replied, "Yes, Master."

Before long, the heavens rose.

Inside a pavilion, Lu Jin, whose divine body was suppressed, and Ju Fu sat around a stone table, sipping tea.

"Giant Axe, you also contributed to this great battle."

Even close brothers keep clear accounts; I have two types of payment.

As he spoke, Lu Jin waved his hand, and a supreme treasure weapon, a warhammer, along with the seven most powerful treasures appeared beside him.

Lu Jin said, "Firstly, this supreme treasure weapon is yours, worth approximately 2000 treasure points."

The second option is to choose one of the seven most powerful treasures.

But I'm only lending it to you. You can return it to me after you have your first supreme treasure that belongs to you, and you will pay me a true god's corpse as interest.

Or, in the future, give me five corpses of true gods as payment for purchasing the most powerful treasures.

Compared to the numerous treasures obtained in these two battles, a mere peak treasure weapon worth 2000 treasure points is nothing, but the calculation cannot be done that way.

Ultimately, the giant axe was just an assist, and not even a very important one; a mere appearance fee would suffice.

Within the primordial universe, unless the opponent possesses a supreme treasure of the sealing type, there are no other means to pose a fatal threat to a true god, and the appearance fee for a top-tier supreme treasure weapon is not low.

For example, in the original work, the insect, demon, and mechanical races hired the False True Demon God to assassinate Luo Feng in the Ancestral God Sect. The commission that the three races paid to the False True Demon God was only a top-tier treasure weapon.

Upon hearing this, Giant Axe didn't even glance at the pinnacle treasure war hammer, but instead began to examine the seven supreme treasures.

It's not that the ultimate treasure, the Warhammer, is worthless; it's that he has no use for it and it doesn't help his strength at all.

On the other hand, choosing the ultimate treasure is different. If one possesses an ultimate treasure, one's strength will immediately see a qualitative improvement.

'Why isn't there an axe?'

The giant axe thought to himself, feeling frustrated.

After a moment's hesitation, Giant Axe said, "Let's borrow the Spirit Gold Holy Armor."

In Giant Axe's view, the Heavenly Court is very powerful, and when it encounters an opponent it cannot defeat, it can call on Lu Jin for help.

An opponent you can't beat must possess an extremely powerful treasure.

Given his personality, Lu Jin would never miss an opportunity to use such a powerful treasure as his opponent. He immediately teleported in with divine weapons and took care of the opponent for him.

However, if he were to help the Heavenly Court, given the abundance of powerful figures within the Heavenly Court, his output strength would not be important; what would be crucial is his survivability and ability to help the Heavenly Court restrain its enemies.

Therefore, choosing the Supreme Treasure Armor is more cost-effective than choosing the Supreme Treasure Weapon that is not suitable for your use.

Moreover, the ultimate treasure armor has a very high limit value, and can reduce the amount of material attack received to one millionth.

Compared to the top-grade treasure armor he's currently using, which has a limit value of only level six and a damage value of level nine, this is a far cry from the armor he's currently using.

When facing attacks from ninth-tier matter, his defense, protected by the Supreme Treasure Armor, will be a million times greater than when he wears the Top-Grade Supreme Treasure Armor!
'Armor?'

Lu Jin raised an eyebrow, said nothing, put away the other treasures, and lent the Spirit Gold Saint Armor dropped by the Heavenly Crystal Saint Lord to the Giant Axe.

"Thank you!"

He accepted the Spirit Gold Holy Armor and bowed, saying...

Although it was just a rental and interest was required, Lu Jin was the only person in the world willing to lend him such a powerful treasure.

Lu Jin waved his hand: "No need to be so polite."

After chatting for a while, having obtained the supreme treasure armor, the eager Giant Axe bid farewell and left the Heavenly Court.

On the other side, the virtual universe.

The official website of the Heavenly Court has officially announced that the highest levels of the Crystal Clan Alliance and the Prison Clan Alliance have been swept away by the Heavenly Court, with only a few remnants remaining. Furthermore, the strongest members of the two alliances have been suppressed.

From this day forward, all 4936 star sectors of the two alliances will be part of the Heavenly Court's territory.

Anyone who covets the territory of the Heavenly Court will face its wrath.

At the same time, the Heavenly Court established the Qiankun Palace, whose function is to manage the territory, and the Tianling Palace issued a war mission to clear 4936 star sectors.

All human members whose life level is not lower than that of a Realm Lord can accept war missions individually or in teams.

Realm Lords can accept galaxy-level war cleanup missions, Immortals can accept star-domain-level war cleanup missions, and Universe Venerables can accept star-sector-level war cleanup missions.

After accepting a war cleanup mission, you can only accept the war cleanup mission for the next area after completing the cleanup of the current area.

Furthermore, during the mission, the Realm Lords are automatically assigned to the Immortals who accept missions in their respective star regions, while the Immortals are automatically assigned to the Cosmic Venerables who accept missions in their respective star regions.

Humans below the Realm Lord level can also participate in war missions by joining the ranks of a Realm Lord.

The news caused an uproar among countless people in the virtual universe, and then quickly spread to the 1008 human universe nations.

The existing territorial layout of the 1008 universe kingdoms of the human race has been maintained for countless years, and any one of them can be considered ancient.

The race's latest expansion has added a staggering 4936 star sectors in one fell swoop.
Even though these territories originally belonged to the elite Crystal Clan and Prison Clan, they still cannot compare to the 1008 cosmic kingdoms currently held by the human race.

The remaining territories are even worse, with a significantly lower probability of producing geniuses.

However, the vast new territory of Xinjiang is sufficient to compensate for quality to a large extent with quantity.

In any case, as long as someone is a true genius, no matter how remote their birthplace, they can become the master of the universe.

Among these 4936 star sectors, including those who have long since perished and the countless cosmic lords born over countless years, the total number is nearly a hundred, far exceeding the number of cosmic lords emerging from the 1008 human cosmic nations.

At the same time, in the virtual universe, Xu Xin invited 1008 universe rulers to a meeting on territorial migration.

Recruiting immigrants from densely populated regions of 1008 universe nations and relocating them to new frontiers naturally requires the cooperation of the official authorities of each universe nation.

It is worth mentioning that the ruler of the Tianshuang Universe Kingdom has now changed.

Lu Jin's teacher, the Lord of Heavenly Frost, has become the Lord of the Universe and ranks among the highest levels of the race. Naturally, he would not waste his talents by serving as the ruler of a cosmic kingdom.

The new ruler was a high-ranking cosmic venerable of the same race, and the name of the Tianshuang Cosmic Kingdom was officially changed to the Tianxuan Cosmic Kingdom.

At the same time, the Lord of Hengyu, who had been sent by Lu Jin to run errands, also arrived outside the ancestral mystery.

"May I ask which friend from the Heavenly Court you are? I am 'Thunder Punishment,' the Eight Directions Thunder Beast God of the Ancestral God Sect. Welcome."

The Heavenly Court had already informed the Ancestral God Sect. As soon as the Lord of the Universe arrived outside the Ancestral God Sect's secret realm, the Thunder Beast God appeared and greeted him.

If the Lord of the Universe comes to visit the Heavenly Court, the Ancestral God Sect will naturally send its own Lord of the Universe to greet him; otherwise, it would be impolite.

"Lord of Thunder Punishment, my name is Hengyu. I have come to the Ancestral God Sect to find the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds on the orders of the Heavenly Emperor."

The Lord of Hengyu nodded and said.

'Nine Netherworlds?'

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Thunder Beast God. A wisp of his consciousness sank into the Ancestral God Token and sent out two messages before saying, "Lord of Hengyu, I have informed the Ancestral God and Jiuyou. Why don't you come with me to the Ancestral God Palace first?"

"Alright."

The Lord of Hengyu nodded.

Not long after, at the heart of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, within the majestic Ancestral God Palace, the Two-Faced Ancestral God and the Thunder Beast God were chatting with the Lord of the Universe.

Suddenly, a figure exuding an eerie charm stepped into the Ancestral God Palace.

The newcomer was a middle-aged man dressed in a magnificent black robe, with a face as white as jade bearing some mysterious black markings.

"Ancestral God, thunder punishment."

Upon entering the hall, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds greeted the Two-Faced Ancestral God and the Thunder Beast God, then turned his gaze to the Lord of the Universe.

"Hengyu, this is the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds of my Ancestral God Sect; Jiuyou, this is the Lord of Hengyu of the Heavenly Court."

The two-faced ancestral god introduced himself to both sides.

"Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, I am entrusted by the Heavenly Emperor to deliver this item to you."

As the Lord of Eternity spoke, he took out a World Ring and floated it toward the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

"Oh?"

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds raised an eyebrow, his gaze traversing time and space to fall upon the interior of the World Ring.

The Lord of the Universe controls space and time, and can detect the internal conditions of non-treasure-level world rings even if they have not recognized a master.

Unless this World Ring is claimed and used by another cosmic ruler who also controls time and space.

The world ring was empty inside, but at its very center was a huge head, seemingly cast in crystal, with a dazzling golden eye between its brows.

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds immediately recognized it as the head of his mortal enemy, the Crystal Clan True God, Heavenly Crystal Saint Lord.

'boom--'

The next moment, a terrifying aura erupted from the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, whose emotions were somewhat out of control, and instantly swept across the entire Ancestral God Palace.

Seeing this, the two-faced ancestral god frowned slightly and waved his hand to block the aura.

After a while, having calmed his emotions somewhat, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds said to the Lord of the Universe, "I'm sorry."

The Lord of Hengyu waved his hand.

"May I ask, Lord of Hengyu, why did the Lord of Lingxiao in the Heavenly Court give me the head of Tianjing?"

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds was somewhat curious, as he did not recall having any connection with the Lord of the Heavenly Sky.

The Lord of Eternity said, "The Lord of the Sun is one of the incarnations of the Heavenly Emperor, and was formerly known as 'Time'."

Instantly, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds understood.

Back when Lu Jin's Time Dragon clone opened the treasure of the sixth peak of the treasure land and obtained the inheritance left by his sworn sister, the Lord of Dawn, he was well aware of this.

However, he was only a realm lord back then. Now, not even an era has passed, yet he has mastered spacetime and become the master of the universe. Moreover, he can kill the strongest universe beings in the original universe who are theoretically impossible to perish.
Suddenly, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds remembered that his lineage had been missing for a long time and that he had heard it had joined the Heavenly Court, becoming the Lord of the Taiyin, known as 'Youming'. He asked, "I don't know the Lord of the Taiyin."

The Lord of Hengyu nodded and said, "The Lord of Taiyin is also one of the Heavenly Emperor's avatars."

Lord of the Nine Netherworlds: "."

Goodness, the Ancestral God Cult had a super freeloader in their ranks back then!

But getting something for free is great, getting something for free is wonderful!
If the Lord of Lingxiao in the Heavenly Court hadn't come to the Ancestral God Sect to freeload back then, how could he have the head of the Heavenly Crystal Saint Lord?
"Please tell the Heavenly Emperor that if the Heavenly Court ever needs anything from the Nine Netherworlds, please feel free to give the order."

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds cupped his hands and said.

"must."

The Lord of Hengyu smiled and nodded.

His Majesty the Great Heavenly Emperor once said that the most promising figure in the Ancestral God Cult is not one of the three Ancestral Gods whose strength is no less than that of the strongest in the original universe, but rather the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, whose divine body has a diameter of 12 light-years.

The Demon Clan's Territory, the Ancestral Realm, the Demon God's Palace.

At this moment, the atmosphere inside the Demon God Palace was extremely solemn, with the nineteen highest-ranking figures of the demon race gathered together.

This time, the Heavenly Court swept through the Crystal and Prison Alliances. Apart from the two alliances themselves, the Demon Race was the only one to suffer losses, and the losses were extremely heavy, with both Demon Ancestors perishing in the process.

"The miniature universes of Dream Demon Ancestor and Zhen Demon Ancestor have begun to collapse, and the two demon ancestors have perished."

"What should become of our demon race? Let us all speak."

The Lord of Changjiu spoke in a deep voice to the group of demon race universe lords.

The fall of both demon ancestors was no different from the collapse of the sky for the demon race.

It is no exaggeration to say that before the rise of the Heavenly Court, apart from the special force of the Ancestral God Sect, the Demon Clan Alliance, with two of the strongest members in the clan, was the strongest force in the original universe.

However, with the fall of the two demon ancestors, the demon race was directly reduced from a top race to a powerful race, at most a powerful race with a relatively large number of universe masters.

Now that the two strongest beings are no longer a deterrent, can the demon race still defend its territory?
Furthermore, with no strongest member remaining in the race, the demon race has practically lost control over the various universe lords of the demon alliance, and the possibility of being betrayed in the future cannot be ruled out.

"Changjiu, are you confident that you can become a true god soon?"

"The Lord of Annihilation asked."

"Ah~"

The Lord of Changjiu sighed and shook his head.

She is hailed as the most promising universe lord among the demon race to become a true god, but becoming a true god is no easy feat.

The human race's Chaos City Lord has a better chance than her!
But hasn't the Lord of Chaos City been stuck for countless years and is still the Lord of the Universe?
At this moment, the Catfish Lord, whose divine body resembled a giant catfish, said, "Without the protection of the strongest, my demon race will no longer be known as a top-tier race. Why not invite the strongest back?"

With the fall of the two great demon ancestors and the absence of any cosmic ruler within the race capable of reaching the True God realm in the near future, the demon race lacks the protection of its strongest member.

If that's the case, why not just invite the strongest one back?
It's important to know that the true gods who have appeared in the history of the demon race are not just the two demon ancestors!

Upon hearing this, the lords of the universe within the Demon God Palace felt their eyes light up.

Yes, the foundation of our own demon race is exceptionally deep.

Other factions may invite back a true god, but this invited big shot may not be reliable.

But the progenitor of the demon beasts is different; he was the former leader of the demon race!
As for the progenitor of demon beasts, he was expelled from the demon register and forced to leave the demon race.
Well, this matter has nothing to do with these universe masters; it's just a power struggle between four former big shots.

The outcome of the struggle was that the progenitor of the demon beasts was no match for the combined forces and was forced to leave the demon race.

The Starry Sky Beast Ancestor led his Starry Sky Beast lineage to establish a separate sect, while the Demon Race was controlled by the Zhen Demon Ancestor and the Meng Demon Ancestor.

All demons: Quickly go and invite the progenitor of demon beasts!

“Miejin, back then, you were the only one in the clan who had a slightly better relationship with the ancestor. You should represent us and invite the ancestor back, otherwise our demon clan will be in danger.”

The Lord of Nine Heads spoke to the Lord of Annihilation.

"That's fine too."

After a moment's hesitation, the Lord of Annihilation nodded, without mentioning asking the demons to pool their resources for his services.

Faced with such a critical situation, petty gains must be put aside for now. The most urgent task is to invite the progenitor of demon beasts back to ensure the reputation of the demon race as a top-tier clan.

In the primordial universe, in a silent starry sky, the will of the strongest beings descended one after another, initiated and coordinated by the mechanical father god.

Ten powerful beings arrived: the Mechanical Father God, the Zerg Queen, the Northern Frontier Alliance Leader, the Starry Sky Beast Ancestor, the Mountain-Sitting Guest, the Demon Beast Ancestor, the Black Universe Founder, the Calamity Universe True God, the Illusory True Demon God, and the Primordial Transformation Island Lord.

Apart from the giant axe, all the true gods remaining in the primordial universe gathered together.

The Mechanical Father God said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the human race's Heavenly Court is extremely powerful."

The Heavenly Emperor alone, with his main body, the Lord of Lingxiao, and his two avatars, the Lord of Taiyin and the Lord of Taiyang, is equivalent to three of the strongest beings.

Furthermore, he wields the supreme domain treasure and the supreme sealing treasure. Apart from the Empress who possesses the supreme palace treasure, no one in the primordial universe who is targeted by him can escape his clutches.

Furthermore, the combined attack power of the Seven Clouds Lord of the Heavenly Court has all reached the eighth level.

If we include the giant axe, the human race essentially had eleven of the strongest beings in the original universe.

If you all do not unite, in this vast primordial universe, there may be no place for us to hide.

"I've heard that the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court wishes to take the Empress as his concubine?"

"I'm sitting here," Zuo Shanke said with a chuckle.

These young people are really having a blast; they're definitely from Earth.

Not only did he raise the seven Zerg queens to become rulers of the universe, but he also planned to bring the entire Zerg race into his harem.

If even a true god-level queen has submitted, then how could the many cosmic lord-level queens within the Zerg be any different?
Upon hearing this, the Zerg Queen angrily said, "Mountain Dweller, don't think that just because you're a lone wolf, I'll be afraid of you."

The mountain dweller wasn't annoyed and said cheerfully, "It was just a joke, Your Majesty, please don't be angry."

"Let the human race grow powerful in the primordial universe. Anyway, I, the demon god, have no race. At worst, I just won't return to the primordial universe."

At this moment, the illusory demon god spoke.

The Black Universe Founder echoed, "Xu Zhen is right. Mechanical, Empress, Northern Frontier, Old Beast God, you all have forces under your command. If you want to drag us into suppressing the human race, don't even think about getting something for nothing without offering some real benefits."

"Don't mention me. I don't get involved. I don't care whether the Northern Frontier Alliance exists or not."

"This is what the leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance said."

After a pause, the leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance glanced at the progenitor of demonic beasts and said, "Instead of mentioning me, we should mention the progenitor."

With Zhenjiao and Mengcha gone, the demon race's heavens have collapsed; they'll probably have to bring their progenitor back.

Upon hearing this, the progenitor of demon beasts had a thought: This is not impossible!

Since being forced to leave the demon race, he has longed for the glorious days of the past.

Losing something you once had is more painful than never having had it at all.

At that time, the demon race and the star beasts all followed him. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the strongest person in charge in the original universe. Even the Ancestral God Sect had to avoid his sharp edge.

The only one who could enjoy this privilege was the invincible progenitor of the human race, who traversed the universe.

However, the original ancestor was even worse off than him, as his account was inexplicably banned for no apparent reason.

In other words, the primordial ancestor's miniature universe did not collapse; otherwise, he would have thought that the primordial ancestor had perished.
