Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 296 The Cosmic Sea Alliance: Lambs to the Slaughter!

In fact, the Eastern Emperor Ancestor and the Purple Moon Ancestor have always been in conflict.

Cultivating a true god requires consuming the essence of a small universe; we can't afford to waste too much.

However, without cultivating a sufficient number and quality of true gods, the strength of the Holy Land Universe is very likely to be inferior to that of the various forces in the Cosmic Sea.

They are unwilling to abandon the origin, so they only maintain a small number of true gods, and there is nothing special about them on ordinary days.

However, when a great opportunity like the inheritance of Duan Donghe appears, the Holy Land Universe cannot provide enough powerful individuals to seize it.

'No, the Heavenly Court is too much of a threat and must be eliminated.'

If nothing unexpected happens, the Heavenly Court must have received a legacy from the Origin Continent. If Ling Xiao knows that secret and continues to let it go, it might even seize control of the Primordial Universe in the future.

Moreover, the inheritance of the Broken East River will most likely allow me to advance further. Joining forces is a must!
This progenitor simply refuses to believe that a mere Heavenly Court could possibly defeat the powerhouses of the entire universe.

The Purple Moon Ancestor gritted his teeth and thought to himself.

After thinking it over, the Purple Moon Ancestor summoned Xuanming, the only true god of the Purple Moon Holy Land at that time.

Initially, the Purple Moon Holy Land had two True Gods: the True God of Awakening and the True God of Broad Saint.

After Guang Sheng Zhen Shen was killed by Lu Jin, in order to maintain the deterrent effect of the Zi Yue Holy Land universe on other forces in the universe sea.

The Purple Moon Ancestor painfully separated a portion of the small universe's origin and nurtured the Xuanming Lord, who had created multiple sets of top-tier fifth-order secret techniques, into a true god.

After entering the realm of True God, Xuanming comprehended the evolution of chaos, greatly improving his level of secret techniques. He has now created a seventh-order secret technique.

With the addition of the supreme treasure, it possesses the strength of an eighth-order true god.

Soon, an eight-faced, twenty-four-armed figure dressed in black robes entered the Purple Moon Temple.

"Xuanming pays respects to the Ancestor!"

Xuanming True God bowed respectfully to the Purple Moon Ancestor.

"Well, no courtesy."

The Purple Moon Ancestor waved his hand, his gaze towards the Profound Bright True God filled with satisfaction.

Since the Holy Land and the universe are immortal, life forms of immortality and above can live forever.

Over countless years, in the Purple Moon Holy Land, there are more than just Lord Xuanming who can create top-tier fifth-order secret techniques.

The reason why the Lord of Xuanming was chosen for training was not only because he was excellent enough, but also because he possessed the purest Purple Moon bloodline and had eight faces and twenty-four arms.

"Xuanming, the inheritance of the Broken East River is of utmost importance; we cannot allow it to fall into the hands of the primitive human race of the universe."

You then lead 20 Universe Lords, 200 Universe Venerables, and 2000 Immortals to compete for the inheritance.

However, the Heavenly Court is extremely powerful. Don't go directly; join forces with the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land and various forces in the Cosmic Sea first.

The Purple Moon Ancestor spoke directly.

The Heavenly Court was so domineering, acting as if it were on a moral high ground from the start, and attacked the Holy Land team led by Juehua without any politeness.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Heavenly Court will also forcefully intercept, suppress, and annihilate any teams from the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land and other forces in the Cosmic Sea that head to the Tomb Ship to compete for the inheritance.

Sending Xuanming to lead a team to join forces with the Eastern Emperor Holy Land and various forces in the Cosmic Sea to fight against the Heavenly Court is definitely not a difficult task.

What the Purple Moon Ancestor didn't know was that the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land's forces had already perished.

However, the Eastern Emperor Ancestor was concerned about his reputation and did not make it public, so the outside world was unaware of it.

"Yes, ancestor!"

The True God Xuanming bowed and responded.

"This is the Six Directions Universe Boat, which I bestow upon you."

As he spoke, the Purple Moon Ancestor conjured an ancient sailboat, only a foot or so long but radiating boundless pressure, which landed in front of the Mysterious Bright True God.

"Thank you, Ancestor, for bestowing this treasure."

Upon receiving the ancient sailboat, the True God Xuanming expressed his gratitude with great excitement.

Undoubtedly, the Six Directions Universe Boat, bestowed by the great ancestor, is an extremely powerful treasure of the flying palace type.

half year later.

The fifth level of the Hall of Ascension in the Great Luo Heaven.

'Wow—'

A surge of divine power shot out from the fingertip of the water unicorn clone, which had transformed into human form, and outlined a three-dimensional phantom in mid-air in front of it.

This three-dimensional phantom looks extremely complex, but its intricate design achieves a perfect energy cycle, giving people a sense of indestructibility and eternal existence.

'The 1000th Rhinoceros King's Gate doesn't seem too difficult~'

Looking at the 1000th solution to the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation, which was drawn with divine power in front of him, Lu Jin thought to himself.

With the help of the Immortal Ascension Palace's ten-thousand-fold time acceleration, the Bodhi Tree's blessing of enlightenment, and the tireless efforts of the thirty-eight thousand Blood God Child incarnations, the team achieved great success.

In the beginning, in just half a minute of the primordial universe, Lu Jin figured out the rules of the Rhinoceros King's Game.

One year and five months have passed since the research on the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau began, and more than 14,000 years have passed in the Immortal Ascension Palace under the ten-thousand-fold time acceleration.

After more than 14,000 years and a great deal of research and comprehension by the Blood God's incarnations, it's time to achieve some results.

Of course, Lu Jin's "small" achievements are not so simple to other powerful individuals.

Leaving aside the Heavenly Court members who have divine incarnations and are squatting in the Hall of Ascension, even figures like the Lord of Ice Peak and the Lord of Wilderness Mirror haven't been able to fully understand the 123 correct solutions, let alone the endgame.

The gaze shifts to the Lingxiao Palace outside the Yanbing Domain Tomb Ship.

Looking out into the distance, Lu Jin, inside the Lingxiao Palace, saw two more True Gods and dozens of Universe Lords gathering again hundreds of light-years away.

The Tomb Ship appeared within the inner perimeter of the Flame Ice Domain, and teleportation is restricted within the inner perimeter of the Flame Ice Domain.

The speed of flying is relatively limited, and the range of vision of the Lord of the Universe and the True God is extremely wide.

After witnessing the ruthless killing of all the powerful individuals who had ventured into the forbidden zone within a hundred light-years of the Tomb Ship, the subsequent arrivals dared not venture further.

However, the inheritance of Duan Donghe was very tempting, and the powerful figures who arrived one after another were unwilling to leave just like that.

In their eyes, your Heavenly Court is strong, but it is absolutely no match for all the powerful beings from the Cosmic Sea who come to compete for the inheritance.

'boom! ’

At this moment, an extremely powerful aura of a supreme treasure emanated from afar.

In the far distance, in the void of the Flame and Ice Domain, a magnificent ancient sailing ship flew at lightning speed.

'The most powerful and rare treasure among palace-type treasures—another big fish has arrived.'

Lu Jin thought to himself, the Netherworld Blood Sea clone in the Netherworld Heavenly God Kingdom located the Kunlun Token carried by the main body and activated the remote detection mode.

As the God's-eye view continued to expand, soon a black-robed figure with eight faces and twenty-four arms appeared in Lu Jin's God's-eye view.

"The multi-headed monster of the Purple Moon Holy Land."

Lu Jin raised an eyebrow.

After a moment's thought, Lu Jin did not allow the Eight Heavenly Kings to immediately step forward to intercept them.

There aren't enough big fish right now. We'll catch them all when they all gather together.

Moreover, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this time, the Purple Moon Holy Land team will not stubbornly force their way in, but will instead gather all the powerful beings from the cosmic seas they can recruit, preparing to join forces to break through the Heavenly Court's blockade.

Another year has passed.

The difficulty of the 10080-seat Rhinoceros King puzzle skyrockets after 1000 seats have been solved.

However, thanks to the combined efforts of the ten-thousand-fold time acceleration, the Bodhi Tree, and a large number of Blood God Child incarnations, Lu Jin's speed in solving problems can still be described as leaping forward.

At the same time, a large number of powerful individuals from all sides of the Cosmic Sea gathered in the void outside the hundred-light 'forbidden zone' surrounding the Tomb Ship.

Not counting the powerful beings hidden within palace treasures or world rings, there are thirty-two True Gods on the surface alone, and the number of Universe Lords is as high as a thousand.

These more than a thousand cosmic lords and true gods gathered around an ancient sailing ship and a black pyramid.

Through the Kunlun Mirror's undetectable remote investigation, Lu Jin has already learned quite a bit about the situation.

The second team sent by the Purple Moon Holy Land was led by a person named 'True God Xuanming'.

The second team sent by the Eastern Emperor Holy Land was led by the 'Southern Void Star Lord'.

The strength of the two True Gods is unknown, but since they represent two major holy land universes, their strength should not be lower than that of an eighth-order True God.

In addition, the various forces that came from the two holy lands and the Cosmic Sea to compete for the inheritance have secretly formed a temporary 'Cosmic Sea Alliance' to jointly drive out the Heavenly Court.

If the Duan Donghe inheritance had not fallen into the hands of the original cosmic forces, then the Cosmic Sea Alliance would have continued to exist until the inheritance event ended.

If the legacy of the Broken East River falls into the hands of the original cosmic forces, the temporary Cosmic Sea Alliance will become a permanent alliance, with the core purpose of joining forces to fight against the Heavenly Court, and will continue until the Heavenly Court is destroyed.

Lu Jin gave this a "wishful thinking" assessment.

Destroy the Heavenly Court?

Could a few dozen true gods plus a thousand cosmic lords really make the Heavenly Court back down?
Even the arrival of the Chaos Ruler wouldn't be enough!

With the four gates of the Heavenly Realm closed, who can find the Heavenly Court? Who can break through the defenses of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Realms, which are essentially treasures of the God-King?

Inside the Black Prison Tower, a palace-type supreme treasure of the True God 'Southern Void Star Lord' who led the Eastern Emperor Holy Land team this time, the divine power avatars of more than a thousand powerful individuals gathered.

"Lord Nanxu Star, when shall we make our move?"

The one who spoke was a god-like being resembling a centipede, with a grayish carapace, hundreds of hooves and claws, a face covered in wrinkles, and only one eye on its head—the Fireworm Lord, a true god of the first cycle of reincarnation.

"No rush, some allies haven't arrived yet."

The Star Lord of Nanxu shook his head calmly and said.

Upon hearing this, the divine incarnation of the Firefly God did not ask any further questions.

Since the sixth-order universe master 'Deer Worm' himself was inside the Tomb Ship, the Eastern Emperor Holy Land had a basic understanding of the inheritance of the Broken East River within the Tomb Ship.

After the establishment of the Cosmic Sea Alliance, the Southern Void Star Lord informed all alliance members about the inheritance status within the Tomb Ship.

The legacy of the Duan Donghe River will not end anytime soon.

The current problem facing the Cosmic Sea Alliance is whether it has the strength to expel the eight true gods of the Heavenly Court.

And what extent of losses will occur during this expulsion process?

After all, these eight true gods of the Heavenly Court are exceptionally powerful, capable of even sealing away a true god who possesses a supreme treasure of the palace type.

Therefore, the more powerful individuals the alliance gathers, the better, and ideally, the Heavenly Court can be successfully driven out without any losses.

'boom! ’

At this moment, a gray streak of light flew rapidly through the void in the distance of the Flame Ice Domain. "The Skeleton Lord's Skeleton Demon Palace?"

"Wasn't it said that the Skeleton Clan was judged as 'not of our kind' by Duan Donghe? Why did the Skeleton Lord still come?"

"They're just trying to take advantage of the situation!"

"Although the Skeleton Clan cannot obtain the inheritance themselves, they can trade with the forces that do obtain it."

Amidst the discussions of the powerful beings of the cosmic sea, the Bone Demon Palace, which had broken through the air, hovered not far from the 'Black Prison Tower' and the 'Six Directions Universe Boat'.

"Welcome to the Skeleton Clan's alliance."

The voice of the True God Xuanming resounded from the Six Directions Universe Boat.

"After you two holy lands obtain the inheritance, just give my Skeleton Clan a share of the inheritance that will allow you to survive the cycle of reincarnation."

"The skeleton master said in a deep voice."

Originally, the Skeleton Lord did not intend to join the alliance to fight against the Heavenly Court, but the other party offered quite a lot.

The two holy lands each offered a top-tier soul treasure and a top-tier palace treasure, inviting the four demon lords of the Skeleton Clan to join the alliance against the Heavenly Court.

If the two holy lands fail to obtain the inheritance, these four supreme treasures will serve as their appearance fee.

If the two holy lands can obtain the inheritance, the Skeleton Clan can use an extremely powerful treasure to trade with the holy land that obtained the inheritance of the Broken East River for an inheritance that is enough for the Skeleton Clan to pass through the cycle of reincarnation.

After some haggling, the Skeleton Clan, having acquired four supreme treasures, was led by the Skeleton Lord, a top-tier ninth-order expert, who brought along the clan's third and fourth Demon Lords to assist them. The Second Demon Lord remained in his own small universe.

This has nothing to do with confidence in one's strength, but rather that the lives of all members of the Skeleton Clan are in the hands of the four Demon Lords.

For any adventurous mission, all four Demon Lords cannot be mobilized.

"Now that everyone's here, let's get started."

The voice of the Southern Void Star Lord boomed, echoing from the Black Prison Tower.

"Everyone, the Heavenly Court of the Human Race in the Primordial Universe has actually blocked the Tomb Ship, preventing us from entering and obtaining the inheritance. This is extremely evil and can be called a cancer in the cosmic sea."

We should unite and expel the Heavenly Court from the Cosmic Sea, restoring peace and order to the cosmos!

Xuanming Zhenshen shouted slogans and steered the Six Directions Universe Boat toward the Tomb Ship at high speed.

"Gentlemen, expel this scourge from the cosmic sea!"

The Black Prison Tower, which was heading towards the Tomb Ship, also echoed with slogans.

"Expel the scourge from the cosmic sea!"

The powerful members of the Cosmic Sea Alliance shouted slogans and manipulated the palace treasures to transform into streaks of light that pierced through the void.

Including the three newly arrived Skeleton Clan Demon Lords, there are a total of thirty-seven True Gods and thousands of Universe Lords.

Our side has such a strong lineup, apart from the Southern Void Star Lord and the Xuanming True God who have a general understanding of the situation.

In the eyes of the other powerful beings in the Cosmic Sea, the Heavenly Court, which was blocking the hatch of the Tomb Ship, was definitely no match for their Cosmic Sea Alliance, so they had no choice but to obediently give way.

The powerful members of the Cosmic Sea Alliance were preparing to force their way into the 'forbidden zone,' and Lu Jin and the Eight Heavenly Kings naturally saw this.

"Within a radius of 100 light-years of the Tomb Ship, no one other than a member of the Heavenly Court is allowed to enter or leave."

Those who disobey will be considered disrespectful to the Heavenly Emperor and to the Mandate of Heaven, and will surely face death and the extermination of their clan. You should think carefully about this.”

With his azure mace pointing straight at him, the Heavenly King of the Nation warned in a deep voice.

"Hmph~, with the emergence of the Duan Donghe lineage, all the powerful beings in the Universe Sea are qualified to participate in the competition. The Heavenly Court is using its strength to block the way and set up obstacles, which is extremely shameless."

"You Heavenly Court, retreat immediately! Do not remain obstinate and become enemies of the universe!"

Xuanming True God of the Purple Moon Holy Land snorted coldly.

Xuanming Zhenshen was well aware of the power of the Heavenly Court, and even more so of its domineering nature.

Once he said that, given the nature of the Heavenly Court, they would absolutely not back down.

This enemy of the universe is destined to be the Heavenly Court!
"Ants are just ants. No matter how many lowly ants there are, they cannot shake the dragon. Anyone who is not afraid of death, come on!"

Vaisravana, holding a black halberd, said disdainfully.

Enemy of the Cosmic Sea?
The Heavenly Court doesn't care!
Moreover, if we wipe you all out, then the Heavenly Court will no longer be the enemy of the universe, but the sole overlord.

"Gentlemen, the Heavenly Court is despicable, shameless, and utterly evil, and it remains stubbornly unrepentant. We will eradicate this common enemy of the universe!"

"The Southern Void Star Lord of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land shouted."

"Eliminate the common enemy of the cosmic sea!"

As soon as the Southern Void Star Lord finished speaking, many lackeys from the Holy Land shouted.

"Eliminate the common enemy of the cosmic sea!"

Shouting slogans of justice, the more than one thousand powerful members of the Cosmic Sea Alliance marched valiantly and rapidly toward the Tomb Ship.

Of course, while it's said to be rapidly approaching, there's still a long way to go.

Teleportation is restricted within the inner perimeter of the Flame-Ice Domain. Even a true god whose words become law would need to travel for several hours at a speed of a million times the speed of light to cover a distance of hundreds of light-years, let alone a cosmic lord.

Xuanming True God and Nanxu Star Lord did not believe that the thirty-seven True Gods alone could defeat the eight Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Court.

After all, among the eight Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Court, at least three of them have strength that surpasses the top level of the tenth rank.

Besides the thirty-seven true gods, thousands of universe lords are also an important part of the alliance's strength.

They couldn't afford to leave these thousands of universe lords behind; they could only maintain the same speed as them.

As for allowing thousands of cosmic lords from the alliance to enter the palace of the true god's treasure?
That's not realistic either.

The Cosmic Sea Alliance was able to be temporarily established because everyone had the Heavenly Court as a common enemy.

The alliance members often have deep-seated conflicts, or are even outright enemies, and there is little trust between them.

Moreover, if all these thousands of universe lords were to enter the palace treasures of the Alliance True God...

Xuanming True God and Nanxu Star Lord are certain that there will definitely be Alliance True Gods leading many universe lords who have come to their door to run away.

The Universe Lords within the Alliance are all elites who have ventured into the cosmic sea, with strength at the fourth rank or above. Each Universe Lord carries a priceless treasure.

On average, a True God can bring dozens of Universe Lords with him, which means that at least a hundred supreme treasures can enter the treasures inside his palace.

Apart from the two of them who were carrying out the ancestral command, it is unlikely that any true god in the alliance could resist such temptation.

After all, even if they expel the Heavenly Court, they might not be able to obtain the inheritance of the Broken East River. It's better to make a profit first and be guaranteed a minimum.

Not to mention that the Heavenly Court seems to be very powerful, and in the process of expelling these eight Heavenly Kings, it is possible that some true gods may perish.

Several days later, all thirty-seven True Gods and thousands of Universe Lords of the Cosmic Sea Alliance entered the area within 100 light-years of the Tomb Ship.

"Heavenly Emperor, all members of the Cosmic Sea Alliance have entered the warning zone."

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, the divine incarnation of the Heavenly King Dhritarashtra spoke.

"Well, it's time to let those scum of the Cosmic Sea know the might of my Heavenly Court. Let's proceed according to the original plan."

Lu Jin himself temporarily halted the research of the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau and nodded to the divine incarnations of the Eight Heavenly Kings.

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor."

The eight Heavenly Kings responded in unison.

Outside Lingxiao Palace.

'tumultuous--'

In an instant, eight terrifying auras erupted, and the eight Heavenly Kings unleashed their divine powers: the third level of Three Heads and Six Arms.

Immediately afterwards, the Heavenly King's Divine Armor activated its 'Heavenly King Domain', and amidst the boundless radiance of various colors, eight supreme domains of different colors instantly enveloped the Tomb Ship within a radius of hundreds of light-years, encompassing all the true gods and cosmic lords of the Cosmic Sea Alliance.

"Hmph! Are you afraid of me?"

The Xuanming True God inside the Six Harmonies Universe Boat snorted coldly, his divine power burning as he activated the supreme treasure of the domain type, the 'Endless Bright Light Realm,' unleashing boundless white radiance.

Immediately afterwards, the Southern Void Star Lord inside the Black Prison Tower, after burning his divine power, also activated the supreme treasure of the domain type, 'Vast Star Sea Domain,' causing a vast expanse of starlight to ripple out.

Besides the Endless Bright Light Realm and the Vast Star Sea Domain, the other thirty-five True Gods of the Cosmic Sea Alliance also possess powerful domain-type treasures.

In the blink of an eye, on the battlefield of the Flame and Ice Domain, following the Eight Heavenly Kings' Eightfold Heavenly King Domain, the Cosmic Sea Alliance also condensed its Sevenfold Supreme Domain to resist.

Although the Cosmic Sea Alliance was at a disadvantage in terms of territorial confrontation, it was not completely suppressed.

At least within the areas where the coverage of these seven true gods is severely limited, the true gods and cosmic lords of the Cosmic Sea Alliance are not restricted in terms of strength and mobility.

'Faced with absolute power, everything is in vain.'

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, Lu Jin pondered to himself. With a thought, the hundred Blood God Child avatars who were already prepared in the Netherworld God Kingdom activated the second level of the Three Heads and Six Arms technique. Amidst the terrifying aura, their figures disappeared into the God Kingdom.

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

Suddenly, on the battlefield of the Flame and Ice Domain, where the supreme domain permeated, a hundred sinister figures clad in blood armor and with blood-red hair appeared.

"The Blood Sea Demon Ancestor?!"

Hundreds of Blood God Child incarnations descended onto the battlefield, and before they could even disguise themselves with their illusionary abilities, they were immediately recognized by the powerful figures of the Cosmic Sea Alliance.

As expected, just as the various forces in the cosmic sea had guessed, the Blood Sea Demon Ancestor of the Primordial Universe Universal Alliance was one of the incarnations of the Heavenly Emperor Lingxiao of the Heavenly Court.

Otherwise, even if the Blood Sea Demon Ancestor did not start a war with the Heavenly Court, there would be no reason for him to help the Heavenly Court out of its predicament.

Lu Jin did not pay attention to the reactions of the powerful members of the Cosmic Sea Alliance.

After this battle, the Heavenly Court will be the heaven of the universe. So what if the identity of the Blood Sea Demon Ancestor is revealed?

The remaining forces of the Cosmic Sea, who did not come to compete for the inheritance of the Broken East River, will only have greater awe for the Heavenly Court.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

With a thought, the hundred Blood God's offspring unleashed boundless crimson radiance, and amidst the surging of the vast sea of ​​blood, a hundred endless blood sea domains enveloped the entire battlefield.

'boom--'

At this moment, the power of the supreme domain, stacked with 108 layers, erupted, and an extremely terrifying restrictive force descended.

In an instant, everything seemed to freeze, including the Six Directions Universe Boat, the Black Prison Tower, the Bone Demon Palace, and other palace-type supreme treasures on the entire Yanbing Domain battlefield.

All the palace treasures that were rapidly moving towards the Tomb Ship were firmly imprisoned in the void, unable to move at all.

If one only possesses one supreme domain, even without a domain treasure capable of countering it, one would not be completely imprisoned.

But with the addition of 108 layers of supreme power, well, you can just wait to die.

It's no exaggeration to say that at this moment on the battlefield, all the true gods and cosmic lords of the Cosmic Sea Alliance are lambs to the slaughter, with no way to escape.
