Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 221: Seizing the treasure

Above the 18th layer of clouds above the ruins of the ancient gods.

The mechanical spaceship, disguised as a meteorite, hovered above the giant crater before rapidly descending and stopping in the first cloud layer.

Inside the control room of the Mech Race spaceship.

A light screen floated in front of Qin Mu, displaying a coordinate graph and a point of light.

"We can't fire directly. Without any defense, Blood God 'Overlord' can't withstand a single hit from the Star Destroyer Cannon."

Qin Mu's eyes were calm. His goal was not to kill the Blood God "Ba Qi", but to alert him and make him ask for help.

With a thought, hundreds of Demon Slayers and more than twenty Realm Lords near the giant pit below rushed towards the bottom of the pit.

At the bottom of the pit stands a palace shrouded in red malevolent energy. The palace is one or two kilometers long and wide, and has seven stories high.

Inside the palace, a Blood God Guard passed by the second floor as usual.

Before him appeared a four-hoofed beast, about twelve meters tall and more than twenty meters long. At first glance, it resembled a bovine creature on Earth, with its muscles bulging as if wrapped in steel bars, and its two curved horns pointing forward.

Those ox hooves, as thick as water vats, were even more robust and powerful.

Its entire body is bronze in color, and its eyes are blood red. The most eerie thing about it is its sharp horns, which are so sharp that they are terrifying. Just the sight of this beast walking in the corridor causes the air to be torn apart and vibrate.

The Wild Beast Qi Niu is a peak Realm Lord who has fused with twelve Blood Crystals, and the protector of the Blood God "Ba Qi"!

The moment the beast Qi Niu was seen, a large amount of data was transmitted to the mechanical race's spaceship in the clouds.

This Blood God Guard was naturally a spy sent out by Qin Mu in advance. He was an experimental subject modified by Qin Mu, with the strength of a Domain Lord and having successfully fused with three Blood Crystals.

Thirty years ago, he "accidentally" stumbled into the bottom of the pit and was taken in as a Blood God Guard by the Blood God "Ba Qi", where he held a considerable position.

Inside the control room of the Mech Race spaceship.

"Target locked on the wild beast Qi Niu, maintain a distance of 150 million kilometers from the target."

The intelligent voice of the mechanical race spaceship sounded.

"Activate Star Destroyer Cannon No. 1!"

Qin Mu said coldly.

"yes!"

Intelligent voices echoed in the control room.

"Star Destroyer Cannon No. 1 charging countdown, 60...59...58..."

That's right, Qin Mu's target wasn't the Blood God "Ba Qi," but the Wild Beast Qi Niu!

The more than 20 realm lords and hundreds of demon slayers below seemed to have unintentionally released some auras, and people in the palace immediately noticed the anomaly.

"Who is it?"

"roar--"

Two phantom figures, one the Blood God Baqi and the other the Wild Beast Qi Niu, rushed out quickly. Two Blood God captains at the Realm Lord level also appeared above the palace. They discovered the intruders above the pit almost simultaneously!

More than twenty realm lords and hundreds of powerful domain lords—this was a force capable of threatening them.

As the most outstanding genius of the Immortal Temple, how dare someone assassinate him!

However, no one answered his roar.

The hundreds of invaders simply stared indifferently down below, as if they were looking at a group of dead people.

Mechanical spaceships in the clouds.

The massive, silvery-white pyramid, its disguise now automatically gone, has revealed its true form.

At the top of the magnificent pyramid, a dazzling sphere of light appeared, with a large amount of light flowing and gathering across the entire silvery-white pyramid surface.

The energy of the light sphere grew stronger and stronger, and even faint electric light emanated from within it, eventually forming a light sphere with a diameter of about three hundred meters.

「6……5……4……3……2……1！蓄能完毕！发射！」

laugh!

The sphere of light at the top of the tower instantly transformed into a beam of light with a diameter of three hundred meters, and shot out in an instant according to the trajectory calculated by the mechanical race's spaceship!

laugh!

A beam of light, three hundred meters in diameter, swept past the wild beast Qi Niu in an instant. The beast's face showed a look of terror, and its full power exploded, but it vanished like bubbles under the attack of the beam of light.

Behind it, a Blood God Guard captain and more than a dozen Blood God Guards who were enveloped in it were also reduced to ashes.

The beam of light killed the wild beast Qi Niu, and also caused the palace at the bottom of the giant pit to disappear, leaving a hole with a diameter of three hundred meters.

Then, deep inside the hole, the energy of the beam of light converged, compressed, and eventually formed the final massive explosion!

Boom! The explosion spread for tens of thousands of kilometers around, turning the center into nothingness, with countless rocks and soil flying everywhere.

The power of the Star Destroyer Cannon is terrifying!

fear!

At the edge of the pillar of light, Blood God Tyrant, who had narrowly escaped death by spitting out blood, looked utterly terrified.

Under the attack of this beam of light, he did not sense any fluctuations in the power of law, but the wild beast Qi Niu, which was stronger than him, died.

Once locked on, he will die!

Extraterrestrial race!

It's an extraterrestrial race that wants to kill him!

"Teacher! Help! The extraterrestrial race is trying to kill me!"

"Teacher! Help! The extraterrestrial race is trying to kill me!"

Without hesitation, he sought help from his teacher, the King, located in the Temple of Immortality.

At the same time, his figure vanished instantly, not to fight the enemy, but to escape to the rock wall of the giant pit.

Unbeknownst to him, after firing a shot, the mechanical race's spaceship in the clouds did not stop at all, but flew directly out of the eighteen layers of clouds and headed towards outer space.

……

at the same time.

Above the Immortal Temple, the spaceship carrying Luo Feng and his two companions automatically returned under the control of the intelligent system, flying into the clouds above the Immortal Temple.

A figure clad in black armor, guarding the C-class treasure vault on the 9016th floor, suddenly changed his expression and transformed into a streak of light, rushing out.

His disciple, Blood God Baqi, was assassinated by an extraterrestrial race!

This is the most outstanding genius in the Immortal Temple's billions of years of history.

He was extremely anxious, but unfortunately, although he was a powerful immortal king, he had not mastered teleportation.

"30 breaths! Hang in there! I'm almost there!"

The figure in black armor immediately sent a message.

As an immortal being, he placed many markers in the ruins of the ancient gods, which could be reached nearby via teleportation from the divine realm.

Unlike teleportation, this takes time and cannot be performed within the Temple of Immortality.

A captain of a peak realm lord patrolling the treasure vault had a question in his eyes.

"What happened? Why did the adults suddenly leave in such a hurry?"

"I don't know, maybe it's something urgent."

Another captain of the realm lord shook his head. According to the rules, guards of the treasure vault cannot enter or leave at will, especially the powerful ones responsible for guarding it.

However, the Temple of Immortality has never been invaded or any accidents have occurred in its billions of years of existence.

This rule is practically meaningless, but nobody really cares about it.

The two were still puzzled and exchanged telepathic messages.

However, in the next moment, a powerful mental force erupted from the sea of ​​consciousness of the iceberg disguised as Hou Qiao in white.

"Pfft—"

"Pfft—"

The two peak realm masters froze, caught completely off guard, as they were pierced through by the spear.

Iceberg was already extremely powerful, and now, with the secret technique he inherited and the power of Blood Luo erupting together, he instantly killed the two of them.

Before their incredulous eyes, the iceberg's body transformed into the immortal form of the king.

Their soul aura and psychic power are exactly the same!

Iceberg behemoth, life-saving talent: Transformation Technique!

Having done all this, the iceberg transformed into a streak of light and plunged into the depths of the treasure vault, where the most valuable treasures of the vault were kept.

Deep within the dimly lit treasure vault, countless treasures shimmered in the faint light, like stars scattered across the sky.

On shelves carved with ancient patterns, there are various treasures that look extraordinary.

On some shelves was an ancient sword, its blade engraved with cloud patterns, as if it could stir up wind and clouds. With a slight tremor of the sword tip, a wisp of sword energy would emanate, sharp and incomparable.

Some of them displayed a completely black battle sword, its blade radiating a fierce aura.

There were also golden armors, radiating light.

Giant axe, warhammer, spear...

Any one of his treasures would be enough to make many immortals envious.

Iceberg's figure moved swiftly among the treasures. As a guard, he had entered the treasure vault more than once and knew which treasures were the most precious.

"Ten breaths! Take as much as you can within ten breaths! Once the time is up, retreat immediately!"

Iceberg stared intently at a pair of ancient, blood-red armor, then reached out and grabbed it.

A surge of power swept across, seemingly probing something.

A moment later, the power vanished, and the blood-red armor was stored in a world ring by the iceberg.

The next moment, he appeared in front of a fiery red crystal.

"Vulcan Source Crystal! A Vulcan Source Crystal of this level, once detonated, is at least comparable to the self-destruction of a Marquis-level Immortal!"

Iceberg's eyes lit up, and he pocketed it.

The next moment, his body appeared in front of a long spear...

Meanwhile, in a palace within the Temple of Immortality.

Six of the guards responsible for protecting the statue of the Beast God simultaneously erupted.

"Click—"

The guards, who had been laughing and joking, suddenly bulged their eyes, their life cores shattered, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.

They actually encountered an assassination attempt inside the Temple of Immortality!

This is just a temple for enshrining statues; even if it were an assassination attempt, it shouldn't have taken place here.

Unfortunately, no one answered their questions.

The six guards quickly collected the fifteen beast god statues, gathered them into one person's hand, and flew them out of the Immortal Temple, while the other five scattered.

Everything happened silently, and no one noticed what was happening.

For billions of years, no one has ever dared to do such a thing in the Immortal Temple.

The reason is simple: if someone has the ability to refrain from doing such a thing, it will definitely be discovered afterward.

The Blood Continent is closed off; once you are wanted by the Immortal Temple, you will have nowhere to hide.

The extraterrestrial beings who descended from the heavens are only at the cosmic level. How dare they covet the Immortal Temple with such meager strength?

They probably don't even know how they died!

Ten breaths later, the figure of Iceberg rushed out of the treasure vault and took the spatial ring containing 15 beast god statues from a guard.

Without the slightest hesitation, they quickly evacuated according to the pre-planned route.

Within the first layer of clouds above the Immortal Temple, a mechanical spaceship, disguised as a cloud, awaited.

……

Amidst the malevolent aura of the giant pit, Blood God Baqi frantically fled to avoid potential beams of light, while the surviving Blood God Guards pounced on the invading enemies like madmen.

Once Blood God Tyrant is dead, they will all be buried with him!

Even their families and relatives will die!

All the Blood God Guards went mad.

Hundreds of Demon Slayers and Blood God Guards were locked in combat. Although the Demon Slayers were clearly stronger, the Blood God Guards, who were carefully selected, were not weak either. With their frenzied outbursts, they were temporarily entangled.

On the other hand, the combined attack of more than twenty Realm Lords was not something that a single Blood God Guard Captain with Realm Lord strength could withstand.

Twenty realm lords rushed forward and attacked Blood God Tyrant.

"boom--"

With the power of the world erupting, Blood God Baqi unleashed extraordinary combat strength under the life-or-death crisis, repelling several world lords who had surrounded him.

With his strength, if he weren't pursuing even greater power, he could have easily reached the Immortal Realm. How could an ordinary Realm Lord be his match?

If it weren't for the attack of the pillar of light that appeared out of nowhere in the sky, he was even confident that he could have wiped out all these invading realm lords.

But he dared not!

He didn't even dare to stay in one place, frantically avoiding any possible attacks.

The wild beast Qi Niu was stronger than him, but he was still instantly killed.

Once hit, his fate is predictable.

whoosh-

The void twisted, and a black-armored man exuding an incomparably powerful aura appeared out of thin air in front of Blood God Tyrant.

"teacher!"

Blood God Tyrant was overjoyed; it was his teacher!

As long as the teacher arrives, there will be no danger.

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

The moment the man in black armor appeared, hundreds of Demon Slayers and more than twenty Realm Lords instantly self-destructed.

"He actually decided to self-destruct so decisively?!"

The black-armored warrior coldly watched the enemies around him instantly self-destruct and die. They self-destructed too quickly; he didn't even have time to stop them. He could only protect Blood God Tyrant behind him.

"The enemy in the sky has retreated and flown beyond the eighteen layers of clouds."

His gaze drifted to the sky, where he could vaguely make out a silver-white pyramid-shaped spaceship through the clouds.

Unfortunately, once they flew out of the eighteen layers of clouds, even he dared not give chase!

Once you leave the eighteen layers of clouds, you are doomed to die. This is an ironclad law that has existed for millions of years. Not to mention him, even a more powerful Venerable One cannot break this curse.

The man in black armor had a solemn look in his eyes as he looked down at the giant crater tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter.

His eyes seemed to pierce through the earth, as if trying to see through the deep pit filled with red, malevolent energy.

"This deep pit..."

The man in black armor had a deep, resonant voice.

"Without any power of law, the terrifying blow that created this deep pit was indeed not caused by an 'immortal god'."

It's merely a technological creation, yet its power rivals the full-force attack of an immortal god—truly unbelievable.

He sighed inwardly, realizing that the strength of the Blood Continent was far inferior to that of the people from beyond the heavens, and the more he knew, the more desperate he became!

"Let's go back to the Temple of Immortality first; it's not safe here."

With a wave of his hand, the man in black armor disappeared with Blood God Tyrant.

However, when the man in black armor returned to the Immortal Temple, to the C-class treasure vault on the 9016th floor, his scalp tingled with shock.

"The treasure room has been robbed!"

"Where are the guards of the treasure vault?"

"No! There's a traitor inside! The attack on Ba Qi is just a pretext!"

His figure vanished instantly and reappeared deep within the treasure vault.

"The most valuable hundred or so treasures are all gone, and all the Blood Crystals are gone too!"

"Who is it?! Hou Qiao, Feng Jun, or Lang Li?!"

The man in black armor unleashed his aura and roared angrily.

"The treasure vault has been robbed; the Immortal Temple is sealed off, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

Boom! The entire Immortal Temple erupted in cheers.

"Kill anyone who sees Hou Qiao, Feng Yun, or Lang Li!"

I took my child to the hospital for a follow-up check-up today, which took up some time. I apologize for that. There might not be time for a second chapter, but I'll write three chapters tomorrow.
