Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 315 This Emperor Must Act Prudently
'There must be a conspiracy! Lord Zorro, you'd better be careful.'

Thinking to himself, Zorro, the Beast of the Realm, silently warned himself.

As a proper sixth sibling, it was very sensitive to such unusual occurrences.

Judging from the Heavenly Court's past acts of cruelty, they are clearly not cowards.

Since he's not a coward, there must be some unspeakable secret hidden here.

The strength of the Heavenly Court is unknown, so it is not advisable to confront them directly for the time being. Instead, we should first target the Giant Axe, which is also of the same origin as the Heavenly Court and is a member of the original human race of the universe, to test its strength.

Both are members of the original human race in the universe, and the strength of the giant axe can, to some extent, reflect the strength of the true gods under the Heavenly Court.

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

Strands of black light shot out from the World Beast Zorro, enveloping the miniature universe of the giant axe in the distance.

'Whoosh whoosh whoosh—'

Soon, the origin of the universe gradually transformed into rays of brilliant light, which entered the body of the Beast Zorro along these black light threads.

Primordial Universe, Headquarters of the Giant Axe Arena.

Inside the majestic temple, the giant axe, who was creating a technique in hopes of taking the secret method to the next level, suddenly changed his expression. His figure disappeared from the temple and quickly returned to the small universe through a fixed cosmic passage.

'Shuh! '

Before long, in the void outside the miniature universe, the giant axe, which had teleported there, saw the culprit that was devouring the origin of its miniature universe.

"How brave!"

Enraged, the giant axe materialized into a jet-black divine axe, adorning itself with a true god-level mechanical treasure.

As the divine power burning technique was activated, the mechanical flow treasure runes were driven, and a terrifying aura of divine power instantly spread and expanded from the giant axe.

"Come die!"

With a loud shout, the giant axe swung its divine axe, and a dazzling axe light appeared. A beam of axe light, carrying the power to destroy the world, swept down directly towards the distant Beast Zorro.

'not good! '

Sensing the power of this axe blow, the Beast Zorro was startled and immediately tried to dodge.

With just this one axe strike, the Beast Zorro could tell that although this human giant axe was only a true god from the primitive universe era, its strength was still above that of powerful beings in the universe seas, such as the Star Lord of Bechi.

However, Zorro, the Beast of the Realm, was too late to be on high alert when the giant axe appeared.

Although I realized I needed to dodge, I couldn't avoid it.

"boom--"

The axe blade, with its earth-shattering power, cleaved down, unleashing a violent roar and a terrifying impact. Amidst the splattering of black blood, flesh, and bone fragments, Zorro, the Beast of the Realm, didn't even have time to activate the Blood Burning Technique to enhance his strength before the giant axe chopped off his left arm.

"Ah, you lowly cosmic life form, you deserve to die, you deserve to die!"

Intense pain swept through his body, and the Beast Zorro let out a shrill roar.

"Bam—"

Immediately afterwards, patterns appeared on the body of the Beast Zorro. Ninety-nine patterns descended, and the hideous, grotesque severed-arm body exploded with a bang.

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

The next moment, ninety-nine Zorros appeared, and then they all transformed into dark light and scattered in all directions to escape.

"Humph!"

Seeing this, the giant axe snorted coldly and activated the supreme domain treasure. Endless dark light shone forth, and the supreme domain instantly covered an area of ​​hundreds of light-years.

However, to the giant axe's astonishment, the supreme domain that had always been invincible failed to play its due role.

As the supreme domain controller, Giant Axe clearly sensed that the power of his domain was immediately diminished by more than half the moment it touched the evil black light of the ninety-nine clones of the World Beast Zorro.

Immediately, the giant axe brandished his divine axe wildly.

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

A series of dazzling axe lights suddenly appeared, slashing towards the ninety-nine clones of the Beast Zorro who were fleeing, attempting to stop them all.

"Puff puff!"

With each strike of the axe, a clone of the Beast Zorro vanished.

But each time the clone dissipates, it will reappear in the next moment and continue to escape quickly.

‘Damn it! ’

After a long and fierce battle, seeing several Zorro clones of the World Beasts that had escaped from the Supreme Domain, Giant Axe cursed under his breath and had no choice but to stop.

Chase?
It's unattainable.

The World Beast's clone technique was too unfair; he could catch one, but not the other World Beast clones.

If even one of the Beast clones escapes, then all our efforts will have been in vain.

Furthermore, the enormous consumption of divine power also forced the giant axe to abandon the idea of ​​pursuing.

Whether it's the Divine Power Burning Secret Technique that boosts strength by two levels after activation, or the True God-level Mechanical Treasure that boosts strength by three levels after driving the triple secret runes, both are major consumers of divine power.

The recovery efficiency of the Heart of God alone is simply insufficient to fill this enormous hole.

Moreover, although the giant axe was not weak, its divine body was no different from that of ordinary true gods in the cosmic sea. It was just that its perfect genetic divine body, which spanned more than 90,000 kilometers, did not give it the capital to squander its divine power at will.

The giant axe, which neither received any cheats nor was cheated on, undoubtedly has a significant shortcoming in terms of endurance compared to the many true gods of the Heavenly Court.

Even the true gods of the Heavenly Court, because they are only pseudo-infinite divine bodies, even with the divine body enhancement brought by the third level of the supernatural power of "Law of Heaven and Earth", only have a range of hundreds of billions of kilometers, instead of the 1.2 light-years of a true infinite divine body.

However, compared to a divine body that is less than 100,000 kilometers long, the former's divine body height is still more than a million times that of the latter, and its total divine power is more than 100 billion billion times greater.

It can be said that only a massive divine body, or even an infinite divine body expanded to its limit, can withstand the terrifying divine power consumption formed by the superposition of the divine power burning secret technique and the mechanical flow treasure.

"You lowly cosmic life form, you deserve to die!"

In the void filled with endless chaotic energy, Zorro, the world beast who had escaped, cursed.

After a long period of impotent rage, Zorro, the Beast of the Realm, stopped cursing. While he was still furious, a look of lingering fear appeared on his hideous face.

The strength of the primitive human race in the universe was indeed unfathomable.

If even a giant axe with a relatively low reputation has such power, then wouldn't the true god-level Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Court, and even the Heavenly Emperor who is recognized as the 'Great Demon King' by the powerful beings of the universe, be even more terrifying in strength?
Fortunately, they only picked an easy target this time. Otherwise, if they had kicked a steel plate, even if they could have escaped using the "World Light Passage," a means of escape only available to third-tier world beasts, they might have paid a heavy price.

"Evil giant axe, you just wait for the great Lord Zorro!"

After cursing once more, Zorro, the Beast of the Realm, transformed into a streak of black light and sped toward his next target.

You have to pick the softest persimmon to squeeze. The primitive human race in the universe is a tough nut to crack. Well then, the great Zorro should go and ravage the true gods of the cosmic sea in the first and second reincarnation eras.

It's not too late to settle everything once the great Lord Zorro's strength reaches a new level.

Inside the Hall of Ascension in the Great Luo Heaven.

'Finally, I've mastered the third level of the secret rune!'

Looking at the Void True God-level Mechanical Treasure 'Apocalypse God' floating in mid-air in front of him, Lu Jin, who had already comprehended the third level of the secret runes, nodded in satisfaction.

The twelfth-tier top-level secret technique 'Eternal End', with 100,000 times the life gene, and supernatural powers: the third level of Three Heads and Six Arms, and the third level of the Heavenly Revelation God's secret runes.

Once the main body and its three avatars join forces to set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, the power of the Eternal End, which was originally only at the top of the twelfth rank, will surge to the top of the twenty-third rank!

Perhaps this surge in power to the top of the 23rd rank is limited by the need to set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, and its flexibility is not as strong as that of a true 23rd rank top-level True God.

But with its top-tier power at the 23rd rank, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it could annihilate everything in its path.

Sweeping through the dimly lit beast lairs in the land was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

Lu Jin: How lonely it is to be invincible~
"Master, Giant Axe has sent an email."

Suddenly, Fatty's voice rang in Lu Jin's mind.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin raised an eyebrow and had Fatty manifest a virtual projection to view it.

"Hmm? It can escape from the giant axe? Hmm, just one by the roadside, nothing to worry about."

After reading the email from Giant Axe, Lu Jin silently commented.

He knew the strength of the giant axe. It was a top-tier ninth-order secret technique, a divine power burning secret technique passed down by Luo Feng that could increase strength by two orders, and a true god-level mechanical treasure that could increase strength by up to three orders.

Unless the giant axe's secret techniques reach the tenth level, its strength is only at the top of the fourteenth level.

Moreover, the giant axe has ordinary life genes, resulting in a serious shortcoming in terms of endurance.

A top-tier 14th-tier giant axe can defeat this Beast Zorro, but it cannot kill him instantly.

It's obvious that Zorro, who has been wreaking havoc in the cosmic sea during this period, is just a third-tier world beast.

This mere third-tier world beast was clearly not something Lu Jin took seriously.

The only one who can earn Lu Jin's respect now is the ultimate Beast King.

The calamity of the Beast Realm continues, with one unlucky victim after another appearing.

In just a thousand years, the small universes of the true gods of the first and second reincarnation eras in the Cosmic Sea, and the origin of the universe, were completely devoured by the Beast Zorro.

Even the true god of the first cycle of reincarnation, 'Tige Bu Demon Lord', who had initially sided with the Beast of the Realm as his servant, was no exception.

For Zorro, the Beast of the Realm, what is more important than the future of his servants than improving his own strength?

Looking across the entire cosmic ocean, the only remaining small universes today are the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land universe and the small universes of many true gods from the primordial universe era.

The powerful figures of the two great reincarnation eras, such as the Lord of the Stars and the True God of Juehe, did not fail to resist, but without exception, they all ended in failure.

Even the rescue team, which originally consisted of fourteen True Gods, now has only nine True Gods left.

After the other five True Gods had their small universe origins completely devoured, the Beast Zorro immediately killed them.

We didn't kill them before because we couldn't waste the delicious miniature universe's essence.

However, killing a true god who has lost their miniature universe would not be considered a waste.

Outside the universe of the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land, in the void filled with endless chaotic energy, more than ten powerful figures gathered together.

"Lord of the Western Ridge Star, Lord of the Eastern Yi Star, when the World Beasts were rampant in the Cosmic Sea, what did the Eastern Emperor Holy Land say?"

Lord Beichi Star spoke in a deep voice to the two True Gods of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land.

The eight Cosmic Sea True Gods, including Juehe True God and Xuelan Ancestor, also turned their gazes toward the two.

The nine powerful figures, including Lord Beichi Star, gathered here for no other reason than to seek revenge against the Beast Zorro.

With the collapse of their miniature universes, they have lost the opportunity to become true gods of the void. Such an act of obstruction must be avenged.

They were supposed to have approached the Heavenly Court, the most powerful force in the universe, but for some reason, the Heavenly Emperor was not only not interested in dealing with the Beasts, but also told them all to get lost.

Left with no other choice, they had to come to the Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe to see what methods the profound Eastern Emperor Holy Land had to deal with the World Beast.

Zorro, the Beast of the Realm, aims to devour the origin of the universe. The origin of the universe in the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land must be abundant, but its strength on the surface is not that great. It is truly a fat sheep.

It can be said that the Eastern Emperor Holy Land will definitely be extremely proactive in dealing with the matter of the Beast of the Realm.

"Alas, everyone, even our Eastern Emperor Holy Land has no choice."

The Lord of the Western Star sighed, his face full of helplessness.

In terms of foundation, the Eastern Emperor Holy Land is undoubtedly extremely profound, but foundation is not the same as strength. In terms of true strength, the Eastern Emperor Holy Land is not even comparable to the nine True Gods, including the Star Lord Bei Chi, before them.

The number of true gods in the entire Holy Land universe can be counted on one hand.

Moreover, none of his secret techniques reached the ninth level, and his highest level was only the top of the eighth level.

Even if he obtained the Divine Power Burning Secret Technique and the True God-level Mechanical Flow Treasure in the Jin World, his strength would at most be on par with Bei Chi and Jue He.

You're overestimating us by suggesting that powerful figures from holy lands lead the fight against the world beasts.

"So be it. The chance of reincarnation is over. Whether or not I can take revenge is not so important anymore."

"I am a being from the first cycle of reincarnation, and I still have half a cycle left to live. It's time to consider leaving behind a legacy to prove that I once existed."

With a dejected expression, Lord Beichi spoke, then turned and flew away.

"Wait a minute!"

The Eastern Star Lord, standing to the side, called out.

"What advice does Lord Dongyi have for me?"

"Lord Beichi asked."

Lord Dongyi said, "We are no match for that Beast Zorro, but the Primordial Universe Heavenly Court is absolutely capable of dealing with it."

"It's not that we haven't tried to find the Heavenly Court, but the Heavenly Court, the number one power in the universe, has done nothing."

Juehe Zhenshen said with an indignant expression.

Although his own miniature universe collapsed, the culprit was Zorro, the Beast of the Realm.

However, the Heavenly Court, which was clearly capable of dealing with the Beast Zorro, allowed it to run rampant in the Cosmic Sea, showing no responsibility as the number one power in the Cosmic Sea.

Moreover, a large part of the reason why the powerful beings of the Cosmic Sea could not defeat the Beast Zorro was that the Heavenly Court was too brutal and killed too many powerful beings of the Cosmic Sea.

Therefore, in the view of Juehe Zhenshen, although the Heavenly Court was not the culprit that caused the collapse of his small universe, there was still a certain indirect relationship.

'If it were me, I would have done the same.'

Lord Dongyi thought to himself.

Why doesn't the Heavenly Court take action to eradicate the Beasts of the Realm?
In the eyes of the Eastern Star Lord, the Heavenly Court was using the Beast of Realm to cleanse the various forces in the Cosmic Sea.

Because of the emergence of the Jin world, the possibility of the true gods of the cosmic sea breaking through reincarnation and becoming true gods of the void has increased countless times.

As a member of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe, he used to find the Purple Moon Holy Land universe quite an eyesore.

The only eternal existence is one's own Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe; all others should vanish into the annals of time.

It must be said that the Heavenly Court's decision to allow the Beasts of the Realm to run rampant in the Cosmic Sea was a brilliant move, and it was very much in line with the Heavenly Court's past practices.

While muttering to himself, Lord Dongyi said, "Everyone, times have changed."

The fact that Heavenly Court previously ignored the situation does not mean it will remain indifferent in the future.

It should be understood that the Beasts of the Realm are the common enemies of the universe and the sea. Once the Heavenly Court achieves its goal, it will certainly not sit idly by.

Otherwise, if the Beasts of the Realm gained power, wouldn't the Heavenly Court be courting its own destruction?

Upon hearing this, the powerful figures, including the Star Lord Beichi, were stunned for a moment, then became furious.

Well done, Heavenly Court! No wonder you let the Beasts of the Realm run rampant in the Cosmic Sea; it turns out you were planning to use them to cut off their hopes of achieving the Void.

Despicable! Shameless! Vulgar!

Undoubtedly, the powerful figures such as Lord Beichi Star were misled by Lord Dongyi Star's words.

It's true that the Heavenly Court allowed the Beasts of the Realm to run rampant, but Lu Jin's purpose wasn't with the True Gods of the Cosmic Sea; it was merely to use them as leverage to enhance his own power.

“Lord Dongyi, according to you, it’s not the time for the Heavenly Court to take action against the Beasts yet.”

Glancing at the vast Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe in the distance, the Blood Orchid Ancestor spoke meaningfully.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Heavenly Court, these small universes of the true gods of the cosmic seas seemed rather obstructive.

But if we're talking about the most irritating thing, it's definitely the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land Universe.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Court would not have deliberately guided the enormous divine corpse that carried the Jin world to crash into the Purple Moon Holy Land universe.

Even with the two great holy land universes coexisting, the Heavenly Court found the Purple Moon Holy Land universe an eyesore, let alone the Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe, which is now the only one left.

The Lord of Xiling Star said with a serious expression, "That is not true! How abundant is the cosmic origin of my Eastern Emperor Holy Land?"
If the Heavenly Court sits idly by, the Beasts of the Realm will become a force to be reckoned with.

It's all about self-interest. Please pass on this message: if the Heavenly Court intervenes to exterminate the Beast Realm, our Eastern Emperor Holy Land is willing to offer a monetary gift.

After a moment's thought, Lord Beichi and the others agreed.

Ultimately, the culprit who extinguished their hope of becoming a true god of the void was Zorro, the Beast of the Realm.

If the Heavenly Court can intervene and resolve this, it would be considered revenge for them.

As for why the Eastern Emperor Holy Land doesn't directly talk to the Heavenly Court?
The main problem is that the Heavenly Court is too cruel. Sending the Lord of the Universe to negotiate might make the Heavenly Court feel that the Eastern Emperor Holy Land is not showing enough courtesy.

If a true god were sent to negotiate, the Heavenly Court might just draw its sword without saying a word.

Judging from the Heavenly Court's past practices, this is not only not impossible, but most likely to happen.

The Great Luo Heaven, the Hall of Ascension to Immortality.

"Master, the Lord of Chaos City has sent a letter saying that the Eastern Emperor Holy Land has asked Lord Bei Chi and others to convey a message that if the Heavenly Court is willing to take action to exterminate the World Beasts, the Eastern Emperor Holy Land is willing to offer a gift."

Fatty reported to Lu Jin.

"The time to return to chaos has not yet come."

Lu Jin, who was comprehending the third level of the 'Heavenly Revelation God' secret runes, said without hesitation.

"Yes, Master."

Fatty responded.

As expected, after receiving the Heavenly Court's reply, the Western Star Lord and Eastern Star Lord of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land started hurling insults and cursing at the Heavenly Court.

The divine incarnation of the Eastern Emperor Ancestor cursed even more fiercely, its impotent roar echoing throughout the entire Ancestor Temple.

Ten years later, outside the Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe, which has a diameter of 32 billion light-years, the figure of the Beast Zorro was welcomed.

"Hehehe—, the Eastern Emperor Holy Land possesses a vast cosmic origin. If we can devour it all, let alone reaching the fourth rank, even the fifth or sixth rank will not be a dream!"

With greedy eyes fixed on the distant Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe, the Beast Zorro chuckled and spoke.

At this moment, Zorro, the Beast of the Realm, couldn't help but reminisce about the moment he broke through to the sixth-tier Beast of the Realm, returned to his lair, and slew melons and vegetables, becoming the sole king.

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

Amidst the pervasive evil black light, streaks of black light streaked across the void, enveloping the distant Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe.

'Whoosh whoosh whoosh—'

Before long, wisps of cosmic origin transformed into dazzling rays of light, which entered the body of the Beast Zorro along these black light threads.

'Hmm~, their resistance is quite strong, but the great Lord Zorro is a noble Beast of the Realm. This little Eastern Emperor Holy Land is merely struggling in its death throes.'

Zorro, the Beast of the Realm, thought to himself with disdain.

Although the resistance is much greater due to the different levels of the small universes, the efficiency of devouring the origin of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe is far less than that of devouring the small universes of those true gods.

But Zorro, the Beast of the Realm, didn't care. With the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land universe as its long-term meal ticket, it didn't need to hunt for food everywhere, and its actual devouring efficiency wasn't slow.

Moreover, after devouring the delicious origin of the universe, it also needs some time to digest it, so it doesn't matter if the devouring efficiency is a little slow.

Realizing that the Beast Zorro had already devoured all the small universes of the True Gods from the two great cycles of reincarnation, and was now even devouring the origin of the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land universe, the original will of the universe could no longer remain still.

According to the calculations of the primordial will, if the World Beast Zorro devours the entire cosmic origin of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land, it will inevitably become a sixth-order World Beast.

Zorro, having become a sixth-tier World Beast, could easily defeat the other World Beasts in the Dark Land Nest and thus become the ultimate World Beast King.

Once the King of Beasts is born, the tide will truly be set, and there will be no way to resolve it.

The next moment, within the Ancestral God Palace, deep within the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, a supreme treasure of the domain type, an invisible and vast will descended, enveloping the entire Ancestral God Palace.

My children

"crisis."

"I agree to the Heavenly Court's request."

"ASAP."

The ancient will transmitted messages to the three ancestral gods within the Ancestral God Palace.

Before long, the primordial cosmic will that had descended upon the Ancestral God Palace receded, and the three Ancestral Gods opened their eyes, looking at each other in silence.

The fundamental will has actually compromised?

Although it did not fully agree to the Heavenly Emperor's demands, it did make the greatest concession possible under the constraints of the highest rules.

"Shall we go together?"

After a long while, the two-faced ancestral god spoke to the young ancestral god and the old ancestral god.

The Heavenly Emperor is very difficult to deal with; he has no confidence that he can persuade the Heavenly Emperor if he goes alone.

"Alright."

The two ancestral gods nodded.

Subsequently, at the instruction of the three ancestral gods, the ancestral gods sent a letter of invitation to the Heavenly Court.

The following day, in the Great Luo Heaven, at the Jade Pool.

Inside the magnificent palace, two celestial maidens led the three ancestral gods into the hall.

"Welcome, three ancestral gods."

Lu Jin led Zi Nishang forward to greet them.

"Heavenly Emperor, Empress."

The three ancestral gods bowed deeply in respect.

After some pleasantries, the two took their seats at a jade table inside the hall.

After the fairy maids served all the fruit, snacks, and tea, Lu Jinping dismissed the rest of the people in the hall.

"Three Ancestral Gods, what brings you to the Heavenly Court this time?"

Without wasting any time, Lu Jin asked directly.

"To be honest, Your Majesty, we have come here representing the will of the origin, with a request."

"Oh? Is it still about the Beast Realm?"

"Exactly!"

The two-faced ancestral god nodded.
