Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 295 The Two Incompetent Holy Lands

half year later.

The Spaceship, the Frost Domain, outside the Tomb Ship.

"boom!"

A dazzling black polygonal sphere, exuding the aura of a supreme treasure, tore through space and time as it hurtled in from the far distance.

"Such a powerful aura, which cosmic sea god is this?"

"I don't know, but this palace-type treasure is extraordinary; it's probably the most powerful palace treasure."

"Hopefully, the newcomer will be strong enough, otherwise this ancient civilization's legacy will become the property of the Heavenly Court."

"Don't panic, the inheritance will definitely not end anytime soon."

Even if the Heavenly Court of the primordial universe was powerful, could it really withstand all the powerful beings from the cosmic sea who came to vie for the inheritance?

Seeing that a true god-level expert was arriving in the palace with its treasures, the four cosmic lords outside the 100-light-year warning range of the Tomb Ship discussed among themselves.

Following the Shadow Bell Demon Lord of the Heavenly Bell Clan, six more Universe Lords have arrived outside the Tomb Ship in the past six months.

The first two cosmic lords who arrived were rather unlucky. Due to prior knowledge, they were killed by the Heavenly King Guangmu and the Heavenly King Qinglong with their soul secret techniques after entering the 100-light-year killing range of the Tomb Ship.

The third Universe Lord who arrived was lucky enough to witness the Azure Dragon King killing the second Universe Lord.

After exchanging a few words across the distance, it was learned from the Azure Dragon King that the Heavenly Court had set up a death zone within a hundred light-years of the Tomb Ship.

Anyone who steps in will die!

However, after receiving the warning, this universe master did not leave immediately, but waited for the powerful figures from various forces to arrive, while also holding back the three universe masters who arrived later.

'Eight true gods?'

Inside the 'Dark Universe Sphere,' a supreme treasure of the palace type that was rapidly cutting through the air, the Northern True Star Lord gazed at the tomb ship in the far distance ahead.

Beside the tomb ship, a magnificent white jade palace floated, and eight True God powerhouses stood in various directions. One of the True Gods even blocked the hatch, clearly indicating that he was preventing other forces from passing through.

However, the Northern Star Lord didn't pay any attention to it.

As one of the two great holy land universes, the Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe has collected a lot of intelligence on the powerful figures of various forces in the universe sea.

These eight True Gods were all unfamiliar faces, mostly newly promoted True Gods, and their strength was not that great, otherwise the Holy Land would definitely have relevant information.

Even if he were to fight eight opponents alone, the Northern True Star Lord would not be afraid.

Among all the true gods in the universe, his talent can only be considered ordinary.

However, he lived a long time, and over countless reincarnations, his level of secret techniques reached the eighth rank.

Possessing an eighth-order secret technique, coupled with the multiple supreme treasures he specially brought on this trip to compete for the inheritance, even though he had long lost his miniature universe, the power of his secret technique had reached the peak of the eighth order, and his overall strength even surpassed that of an eighth-order true god.

With such strength, the Northern Star Lord would never consider himself no match for them.

Moreover, the combination of a palace-type supreme treasure and a domain-type supreme treasure is a symbol of invincibility in the cosmic sea!

"boom!"

Under the control of the Northern Star Lord, the 'Dark Universe Sphere,' which appeared as a black polygonal sphere, continued its flight without slowing down, heading straight for the Tomb Ship.

The arrival of a powerful being wielding a supreme treasure of the palace type, and who was even preparing to force his way into the 'forbidden zone,' naturally did not go unnoticed by the eight members of the Dhritarashtra.

'Growth and Vision, you have lent me a helping hand.'

His gaze pierced through space, observing the 'Dark Universe Sphere' that was hurtling through the air from a great distance ahead for a moment. Then, Dhritarashtra addressed Virupaksha, who was closest to him.

'it is good. '

The two Heavenly Kings nodded and flew towards Dhritarashtra.

Unlike armor-type treasures, the limit for palace-type treasures is their damage value.

Undoubtedly, the damage value of palace-type supreme treasures is extremely high, and even a material attack with a power of up to the twelfth level cannot break through them.

However, the fact that they cannot break through the defenses does not mean that the Eight Heavenly Kings cannot do anything to a true god who possesses a palace-type supreme treasure.

In this great battle, Lu Jin handed over the 'Black Stone Temple,' a supreme treasure of the palace type that he had obtained from the Golden Emperor Demon God, to the Heavenly King Dhritarashtra.

With the three Heavenly Kings joining forces, their three supreme domains, plus the Black Stone Temple, could suppress even the most powerful palace-type treasures that came to challenge them.

"I am the Northern True Star Lord of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land. You shall all leave at once."

Looking at the three True Gods blocking the way from several light-years away, the Northern True Star Lord, who had announced his name from within the 'Dark Universe Sphere,' gave the order.

The most important thing right now is to send the members of the Holy Land into the Tomb Ship to compete for the inheritance, not to compete with the eight true gods of this unknown force.

If he could simply repel the enemy with a shout, the Northern Star Master wouldn't bother to take action.

"Ha~, the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land? What a prestigious name! Disobeying the Mandate of Heaven, they deserve to be executed!"

With a disdainful chuckle, Dhritarashtra rebuked him.

All the powerful beings in the universe know that the legendary progenitors of the two holy lands have long since transcended reincarnation and are powerful beings whose strength surpasses that of true gods.

However, since no outsider has ever seen the ancestor of the Holy Land, all the ninth-order True Gods in the Cosmic Sea do not take the two Holy Lands seriously.

The same is true for the Heavenly Court.

Others may not know about the circumstances of the two holy lands' cosmic progenitors, but how could Lu Jin not know?

Aside from the Holy Land Ancestor, who cannot return to the Cosmic Sea, and the Void True God-level miniature universe that can be described as 'absolute defense', the Holy Land universe is not even as strong as the Divine Eye Clan, which was once exterminated by the Heavenly Court.

Their strength is nothing special; just the title of "Holy Land Universe" isn't enough to earn them the respect of the Heavenly King Dhritarashtra.

"How dare you! Who are you?"

The Lord of the Northern Stars was furious.

"I am the Eastern Heavenly King of the Heavenly Court, and you have disobeyed the Mandate of Heaven, committing grave sins. Why don't you quickly surrender and await the Heavenly Emperor's judgment?!"

As he spoke, the Heavenly King Dhritarashtra, clad in cyan divine armor and wielding cyan double maces, radiated boundless cyan light, his supreme domain covering an area of ​​hundreds of light-years.

At the same time, the Heavenly King of Growth and the Heavenly King of Wide Vision also manifested the domain of the Heavenly King's Divine Armor.

However, unlike the others, the Heavenly King of Growth, clad in crimson divine armor and wielding a crimson battle blade, manifested a crimson light domain.

The Heavenly King Guangmu, clad in golden divine armor and wielding a golden divine sword, manifested a golden light domain.

The Heavenly King's Divine Gear is the Blood Sea Set, which is a top-tier, supreme treasure set with all attributes and the ability to transform.

Judging from their appearance alone, it's hard to tell that the three Heavenly Kings are using the exact same treasure.

'The Primordial Universe Heavenly Court?!'

Upon hearing this, the expression of the Northern True Star Master inside the Dark Universe Sphere hardened.

At this moment, under the suppression of the three supreme domains, Bei Zhenxing, who was unable to activate the supreme domain treasures, had a bad premonition.

The Northern Star Lord had heard of the Primordial Universe Heavenly Court.

But unexpectedly, the Heavenly Court's foundation was so profound that these three True Gods all possessed supreme treasures of the domain type.

"Our Eastern Emperor Holy Land has no prior enmity with the Heavenly Court, nor does it wish to forge one now. How about the three of you make way?"

"The Lord of the Northern Stars said in a deep voice."

"Noisy!"

Dhritarashtra rebuked again, and then with a thought, the supreme treasure of palaces, the Black Stone Temple, materialized. In an instant, it transformed into a majestic temple spanning billions of kilometers, shooting towards the Dark Universe Sphere while unleashing a terrifying suction force.

How can you not make enemies?

If we don't make enemies, how can my Heavenly Court obtain the most powerful treasures from you, and how can we obtain more True God-level Law Godheads?
"Humph!"

The Lord of the Northern Stars snorted coldly, manipulating the Dark Universe Sphere to fiercely resist this sucking force.

"You have lost your true destiny by disregarding the will of Heaven!"

"To see the Lingxiao Palace from afar and not to pay homage is to have severed one's own path to reincarnation!"

"Your sins are grave, and you shall be judged by Heaven!"

The three Heavenly Kings roared, unleashing their supernatural powers: Three Heads and Six Arms. Within the triple-layered supreme domain, boundless blue, red, and gold radiance converged, and the blue divine mace, the red battle blade, and the golden divine sword materialized from behind the Dark Universe Sphere.

Immediately afterwards, the top-tier eighth-order secret technique was unleashed, unleashing an extremely terrifying aura. The azure divine mace, the crimson battle blade, and the golden divine sword, carrying the power to destroy heaven and earth, directly slammed into the enormous Dark Universe Sphere.

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

The triple secret technique struck down, unleashing a violent roar as the Dark Universe Sphere was blasted away.

"puff--"

Inside the Dark Universe Sphere, the Northern True Star Lord felt a powerful impact on his body, and then saw the divine bodies of the 200 Holy Land Venerables and 2000 Holy Land Immortals in the hall instantly turn to ashes.

Even the remaining 20 Holy Land Universe Lords suffered varying degrees of divine physical injuries, and some even experienced a decline in their aura.

At this moment, the Northern Star Lord was shocked.

Palace-type treasures possess extremely strong material defense capabilities, but they are not absolutely immune; they can only achieve near-immunity to material attacks that do not exceed the damage threshold.

Even if the physical attack fails to reach the damage threshold of a palace-type treasure, the residual power of the secret technique that has penetrated inside could still kill the life inside the palace treasure.

The Lord of the Northern Stars was aware of this.

But he never expected that the three true gods of the Heavenly Court would be so powerful.

It should be noted that although the Dark Universe Sphere is of average quality among treasures of the same level, it is still a palace-type supreme treasure in the Cosmic Sea that can be described as 'absolute defense'.

Even a material attack at the level of a top-tier tenth-order true god could not effectively harm the cosmic lord inside a palace-type supreme treasure.

But these three true gods of Heaven did it.

Surpassing the top ten-tier true gods and comparable to the progenitors?

'Impossible, absolutely impossible! There is absolutely no true god in the cosmic sea who can compare to the Primordial Ancestor. After all, even the Purple Moon Primordial Ancestor cannot compare to the great Primordial Ancestor.'

The Northern Star Lord immediately dismissed his absurd idea.

All members of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe possess a 'sense of ancestral superiority'.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that their own Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe is larger than the Purple Moon Holy Land universe is enough to prove that their ancestor was stronger than the Purple Moon ancestor.

How could a mere True God compare to such a powerful progenitor?
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

At this moment, another violent impact struck, and the divine bodies of the 20 Holy Land Universe Lords inside the Dark Universe Sphere were once again damaged.

Outside, under the continuous bombardment of secret techniques with power reaching the twelfth rank, the boost from the triple supreme domains, and the terrifying suction power emanating from the Black Stone Temple, the Dark Universe Sphere flew uncontrollably toward the majestic, open gates of the Black Stone Temple.

"Do not--"

Soon, accompanied by the unwilling roar of the powerless Northern Star Lord, the Heavenly King of the Nation controlled the Black Stone Temple and sealed the Dark Universe Sphere, which was also a supreme treasure of the palace type.

"Hiss~, the Northern True Star Lord of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land has been sealed away just like that?"

"Unbelievable! Even a true god possessing a palace-like supreme treasure could be sealed away?" "The Heavenly Court of this primordial universe is far too powerful!"

"Don't mess with us! Absolutely don't mess with us!"

Having witnessed firsthand how the Northern True Star Lord, who possessed a supreme treasure of the palace type, was jointly sealed away by three True Gods of the Heavenly Court, the four Universe Lords watching from afar whispered among themselves.

At this moment, Dhritarashtra, who had taken back the Black Stone Temple, glanced in this direction.

Immediately, the four universe lords watching from afar froze, a deep sense of fear rising in their hearts.

After Dhritarashtra withdrew his gaze, the four of them exchanged glances.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Four streaks of light streaked across the void, silently forming the tacit understanding of four universe lords, who then transformed into streaks of light and dispersed away.

The Heavenly Court's strength is terrifying; it can even suppress a true god who possesses a supreme treasure like a palace.

Run, run as far as you can!

inherited?

While a legacy that transcends the level of a true god is desirable, one must be alive to receive it, right?

Moreover, with ruthless figures from the Heavenly Court blocking the entrance, given their strength, they definitely wouldn't even be able to get into the Tomb Ship, let alone seize the inheritance.

Meanwhile, inside the Lingxiao Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Northern True Star Lord of the Eastern Holy Land has been suppressed by us."

The divine power emanation left behind by Dhritarashtra stepped forward and respectfully addressed Lu Jin's true form.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin temporarily halted his research on the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau and said, "Come back to the Heavenly Realm with me."

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor."

The King of the Nation responded.

The next moment, within the Netherworld God Kingdom, the Netherworld Blood Sea clone moved its mind and teleported its main body and the Heavenly King of the Nation, who was carrying the Black Stone Temple, back to the Heavenly Realm, preparing to use the Black Pattern Stone Pillar to ambush the treasure-hunting team from the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe.

Within the Ancestral Hall of the Eastern Emperor's Sacred Land, in the boundless realm of gods.

"Boom bang bang-"

“Ancestor, Bei Zhen deserves to die for his sins and has failed your high expectations.”

The Northern Star Lord knelt in the hall, kowtowing repeatedly, his face full of remorse as he spoke.

'To be able to severely injure a universe lord even through a palace-type supreme treasure—such a powerful material attack... could it be a divine power burning technique or a mechanical treasure? Otherwise, a true god's strength would never reach this level.'

The Eastern Emperor Ancestor pondered to himself.

Although the Eastern Emperor Ancestor, who was based on the Origin Continent, was not doing very well, he could still roughly guess the strength of the true gods under the Heavenly Court and why they were so powerful.

Moreover, if the speculation is true, it can explain why the Blood Sea Demon Ancestor, the avatar of the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court, has a life level of only the Lord of the Universe, yet possesses at least the strength of a ninth-order True God.

In the cosmic sea, the divine power of the true god is suppressed to the level of the perfect gene universe master.

With his self-created True God-level secret techniques, the Divine Power Burning Secret Technique, and the Mechanical Flow Treasure, it is not impossible for the Lord of the Universe to possess the strength of a ninth-order True God.

'How about we trade some secret techniques with the Heavenly Court?'

The Eastern Emperor Ancestor couldn't help but think about it.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Heavenly Court has received the inheritance of an unknown ancient civilization, and it is possible that it possesses secret techniques that could further enhance its strength.

If he could trade the most powerful treasures he had collected from the Holy Land universe, he would make a fortune.

As for the question of the Heavenly Court becoming the overlord of the cosmic sea, in any case, the Holy Land's defenses in the cosmic sea are invincible.

While it's fine for the Heavenly Court to grow bigger, improving our own strength is far more important.

"Pfft~"

At that moment, the divine incarnation of the Northern Star Lord vanished into nothingness.

"What a magnificent Heavenly Court!"

The Eastern Emperor Ancestor's face was extremely gloomy, and he was furious.

Needless to say, the Northern Star Lord perished instantly, without any resistance whatsoever.

"Ah~"

After a long while, the Eastern Emperor Ancestor sighed helplessly.

If his true form could return to the Cosmic Sea, he would naturally not take the mere Heavenly Court seriously.

Unfortunately, the Cosmic Sea only gives out and never takes in. With his divine power avatars proving useless, the few true gods and cosmic lords within the Holy Land were no match for the Heavenly Court.

Unless a powerful figure from the Heavenly Court dares to enter his own miniature universe, he could mobilize the origin of the miniature universe to directly suppress him.

However, it's clear that the powerful figures of the Heavenly Court wouldn't be foolish enough to enter their own miniature universe.

On the other side, in the celestial realm.

After teleporting the Heavenly King of the Nation back to the battlefield of the Flame and Ice Domain, Lu Jin had a thought, and the Northern Heavenly Gate was reset and placed at the end of the Xuan Sha Heavenly Will Training Ground. Then he entered the Fan Cage Heaven through the Heavenly Realm Passage.

Lu Jin infused the Dark Universe Sphere with divine power and quickly recognized this supreme treasure of the palace type as his master.

"Shh!"

The Dark Universe Sphere trembled slightly, and a pitch-black passage at its bottom opened, spilling out the corpses of the Northern True Star Lord and twenty Universe Lords, along with a large number of treasure fragments.

The corpse was stuffed into the Demon Refining Pot for decomposition. After a thorough inventory, Lu Jin nodded in satisfaction.

From the twenty-one corpses, one True God-level Law Godhead, seventeen Spacetime Law Godheads, and three Fusion Law Godheads were obtained.

Among these twenty cosmic lords of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land, there must be many who possess the secret technique of creating clones.

However, the terrifying will emanating from the black-patterned stone pillar can be used to annihilate the Lord of the Universe, regardless of whether you have a clone or not.

Unless one can withstand the terrifying impact of the black-patterned stone pillar's will, if the clone is killed, the main body and all the clones will die.

Compared to the divine status of laws, the gains in terms of treasures were greater.

As expected of a true god from the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land universe, the Northern True Star Lord possesses four supreme treasures.

The most powerful treasures in the palace category are 'Dark Universe Sphere', the most powerful treasures in the domain category are 'Abyss Purgatory Realm', the most powerful treasure weapon is 'Void Rift Blade', and the most powerful treasure psychic weapon is 'Astral Cone'.

Of course, Lu Jin knew that the reason there were four supreme treasures was mainly because the Northern True Star Lord had come with a mission.

Normally, given the strength of the Northern Star Lord, he would definitely not possess more than two supreme treasures.

Otherwise, once they leave the Holy Land universe, they will definitely be targeted by the powerful beings of the Cosmic Sea.

In addition to the four supreme treasures, there are nearly a hundred treasures at the peak level, as well as many more treasures below the peak level.

Five months later, on the spaceship, in the Flame and Ice Domain.

"No!"

With the unwilling roar of the True God of Awakening from the Purple Moon Holy Land, the supreme treasure of palace type 'Vajra Glazed Palace' in which he was located was sealed inside the supreme treasure of palace type 'Azure Rock Pagoda' by the three Heavenly Kings Guangmu, Duowen, and Qinglong.

Thanks to the news that the Skeleton Clan had brought the Duan Donghe inheritance to the world, which spread throughout the universe, quite a few powerful individuals came to the Yanbing Domain to compete for the inheritance.

During these five months, two more True Gods and five Universe Lords arrived, contributing two True God-level Law Godheads and five Spacetime Law Godheads to the Heavenly Court.

Furthermore, among the two true gods who were killed, one of them, named 'Azure Rock Demon God,' was a lone true god from the first cycle of reincarnation, and he also possessed the 'Azure Rock Tower,' a supreme treasure of the palace type.

Lu Jin handed over the 'Azure Rock Pagoda' he had acquired to Guangmu Tianwang for use.

Lu Jin also gave the 'Dark Universe Sphere' that the Northern True Star Master had revealed to the Growth Heavenly King.

Subsequently, Lu Jin himself and Guangmu Tianwang were teleported back to the Heavenly Realm.

After a series of maneuvers, the team from the Purple Moon Holy Land that was vying for the inheritance was completely wiped out.

He acquired one True God-level Law Godhead, thirteen Spacetime Law Godheads, and two Fusion Law Godheads.

As for treasures, the Purple Moon Holy Land is not as extravagant as the Eastern Emperor Holy Land, possessing only three supreme treasures.

The supreme and most powerful weapon, the "Hun Tian Cudgel"; the supreme and most powerful armor, the "Wu Ji Golden Light Armor"; and the supreme and most powerful palace-type treasure, the "Vajra Glazed Palace".

After being teleported back to the Flame and Ice Domain, Lu Jin gave the 'Diamond Glazed Palace' to the Heavenly King Duowen.

At this point, all four Heavenly Kings possessed supreme treasures of the palace type.

Dhritarashtra, the Heavenly King, possesses a black stone temple; Virudhaka, the Heavenly King, possesses a dark universe sphere; Virupaksha, the Heavenly King, possesses a blue rock pagoda; and Vaishravana, the Heavenly King, possesses a vajra lapis lazuli palace.

Of course, Lu Jin didn't give away his wealth for nothing; he added another 300,000 Treasure Points to the Heavenly Spirit Palace loan that the Four Heavenly Kings were carrying.

Since the spoils of war are distributed as loans, there will naturally be combat rewards as well.

However, the battle for the inheritance of the Broken East River is not over yet. After the battle ends, Lu Jin will naturally distribute the corresponding treasure points as rewards according to the contributions of the eight Heavenly Kings in the battle.

To be honest, robbing people with your fists is faster than finding treasure in dangerous places.

In less than a year, I've acquired eight supreme treasures.

In the Purple Moon Holy Land universe, at the central celestial dome, inside the Purple Moon Temple.

"Heavenly Court, it's Heavenly Court again! Damn Lingxiao, why don't you just die?!"

Inside the temple, witnessing the dissipation of the divine power avatar left behind by the True God of Awakening, the Purple Moon Ancestor, burning with rage, roared in exasperation.

At this moment, the Purple Moon Ancestor's hatred for Lu Jin reached its peak.

When the True God Guang Sheng fell, the Ancestor of Zi Yue was furious, but he endured it because of the limited strength of his own Zi Yue Holy Land.

Unlike the primordial universe era before countless ages, even though he achieved the status of a true god of the void, the capacity of a small universe to support a cosmic master was still limited.

The number of Universe Lords within the Holy Land Universe is fixed; only when one falls can the next Universe Venerable step into the position of Universe Lord.

When the Lord of the Universe steps into the realm of true godhood, the issue is no longer about the limited number of slots.

Instead, a portion of the origin of a smaller universe must be separated for a cosmic master to become a true god.

The Purple Moon Ancestor always cherished the origin of his own miniature universe.

The fall of each true god is no less than cutting a piece of their heart out with a knife.

First it was Guang Sheng, and now it's Jue Hua. If he could, the Purple Moon Ancestor would love to twist Lu Jin's head off right now.

"Ah~"

Inside the temple, the Purple Moon Ancestor roared helplessly for a long time, then sighed deeply.

Just like the Eastern Emperor Ancestor, whose true form had already gone to the Origin Continent, he had no way to deal with Lu Jin and the Heavenly Court.

With the power to instantly kill a Universe Venerable and severely injure a Universe Lord, and even seal the supreme palace treasure controlled by a True God, what can the Purple Moon Holy Land Universe do against such strength?
