Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 317 Slaughter and Despair, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, Activate!
Beyond the gloomy, peak-climbing realm, lie countless waves and waters.

"Shh!"

Suddenly, the Lingxiao Palace, radiating the immense pressure of countless supreme treasures, teleported in.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jin put away the majestic Lingxiao Palace and manifested his true form holding the Zhuxian Sword, his Taiyin clone holding the Luxian Sword, his Taiyang clone holding the Xianxian Sword, and his Demon Ancestor clone holding the Juexian Sword.

Then, to the east of the entrance to the Peak Realm, lies a dimly lit land with a diameter of approximately 600,000 light-years.

The main body, located in the due east direction, stands motionless in the void, holding the Immortal Execution Sword. The Taiyin clone teleports to the due north, the Taiyang clone teleports to the due south, and the Demon Ancestor clone teleports to the due west.

The main body and its three avatars stood in four directions, surrounding the dark place.

'boom--'

The next moment, the main body and the three avatars, positioned in the four directions, manifested a majestic divine body 1.2 light-years high, and simultaneously activated their divine powers: three heads and six arms, the third level of the Heavenly Revelation God's secret runes, and a terrifying aura of divine power instantly spread out.

"punish!"

"kill!"

"trap!"

"Absolutely!"

"The Immortal Killing Sword Formation, rise!"

With a fierce shout from the main body, and amidst the depletion of countless divine powers, the main body, wielding the four swords of Zhuxian, and his three clones were at the center.

The four beams of fierce divine light, each a different color and with a diameter measured in light-years, soared into the sky: cyan for the Zhuxian Sword, black for the Luxian Sword, red for the Xianxian Sword, and white for the Juexian Sword.

In an instant, the world changed color, and a dark land with a diameter of 600,000 light-years was shrouded by a huge array diagram filled with endless ferocious sword energy.

At this moment, an extremely terrifying aura of divine power permeated the entire Qingfeng Realm, and could even be clearly sensed beyond the Qingfeng Realm.

Within the dimly lit lair, nearly a hundred million Beasts from all directions ceased their battle.

Gazing at the endless, malevolent sword energy that filled the entire nest, the world beasts' single eyes were filled with deep horror.

Outside the Qingfeng Realm, a terrifying aura emanated from the inner domain of the Qingfeng Realm.

A human universe master belonging to the Giant Axe Arena and possessing the secret technique of creating clones, who was guarding the entrance to the Inclined Peak Realm, suddenly changed his expression and hurriedly reported this anomaly through his original body left in the Primal Universe.

It should be noted that the dark and dangerous core of the Peak Realm is the lair of the Realm Beasts.

Any anomalies within the peak boundary must be reported immediately.

Inside the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

When the sword formation was activated, the enormous Immortal Slaughtering Formation appeared, enveloping the entire dark land.

Everything within the entire Beast Nest, including the location of each of the nearly one hundred million Beasts, was clearly imprinted in Lu Jin's mind.

"Eternity—the end!"

With a thought, Lu Jin activated his secret technique, causing his main body, which possessed a majestic divine body 1.2 light-years in diameter, and his three avatars to instantly lose 30% of their divine power.

In an instant, within the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, nearly a hundred million fierce sword energies erupted, unleashing gray sword light filled with intense destructive aura.

"cut!"

With a furious roar from Lu Jin, nearly a hundred million fierce sword energies, empowered by the top-tier twelfth-order secret technique 'Eternal End,' carrying the force of the end of all things, slashed towards the world beasts near each sword energy.

"Puff puff!"

"Puff puff!"

"Puff puff!"

At this moment, the entire Zhuxian Sword Formation was filled with the sound of sword energy shattering bodies.

Under the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Qi, which reached the top level of the 23rd rank, the originally tough bodies of the Beasts were as fragile as tofu.

Countless streams of black blood, exuding an evil aura, splattered. Nearly a hundred million Beast Beasts, their hideous and grotesque bodies instantly cleaved in two by the terrifying Immortal Slaughtering Sword Qi. The 'boundaries' within their bodies, containing their souls, were also shattered, causing their souls to be annihilated and they to die.

In the blink of an eye, of the original 97 million world beasts in the nest, only one weak first-tier world beast remained, which Lu Jin had temporarily spared; the rest had all turned into corpses.

Lu Jin didn't mean anything by deliberately leaving one head untouched.

The main point is that after the King of the Beasts is determined, all the corpses of the Beasts that were still there at that time will disappear, presumably being taken back by the supreme rules.

If he doesn't stuff a large number of World Beast corpses into the Demon Refining Pot to decompose them before Zorro becomes the World Beast King, he will lose a huge amount of Destruction Source Crystals for nothing.

Although the future doesn't necessarily require following the path of destruction, accumulating more Destruction Source Crystals is definitely a good idea.

Moreover, putting everything else aside, the Destruction Source Crystal made a significant contribution to enabling the secret technique level to break through to the twelfth rank.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

With a thought, Lu Jin unleashed the power of the sword formation, sweeping up the corpses of countless world beasts and converging them towards his main body and three avatars.

After a while, Lu Jin used the external space to transfer the corpses of more than 97 million world beasts and stuffed them all into the Demon Refining Pot for decomposition, turning them into a large number of pseudo 99999 times gene bloodline source crystals and a massive amount of destruction source crystals.

Then, another sword aura of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword was unleashed, annihilating the last Beast within the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

As expected, after the Beast of the Realm died, its corpse, which had been cut in two by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Qi, vanished before Lu Jin could even put it into the Demon Refining Pot for decomposition.

Without paying much attention, Lu Jin dispersed the sword formation, put away the Four Swords of Zhuxian, and his majestic divine body, 1.2 light-years in size, shrunk to the size of an ordinary person. He communicated with the Kunlun Mirror, and his main body and three clones traveled through space back to the small universe.

A miniature universe, inside the central temple.

‘Fuck! ’

When Zorro sensed that nearly a hundred million Beasts in the distant, dimly lit lair had been almost completely wiped out in an instant, leaving only one remaining, he was filled with indescribable shock.

My goodness, this is a supreme rule! Is Master's strength really this terrifying?
Even if there were nearly a hundred million ants distributed in a vast nest, an ordinary true god would not be able to slaughter them all in an instant, right?
After all, the unique environment of the dark place greatly limits the perception ability of non-worldly beasts.

Not long after, Zorro sensed that the last remaining Beast in the lair had followed in the footsteps of the other Beasts.

'boom--'

At that very moment, an overwhelming pressure descended, enveloping Zorro within the central temple of the miniature universe.

After Zorro was the only survivor among the initial billion Beasts, the Supreme Rule descended.

"Boom!"

Powerful auras suddenly appeared out of nowhere and surged wildly into Zorro's body.

Every aura faintly revealed the appearance of a Beast of the Realm.

As countless auras of the Beast Realm surged into Zorro's body, the aura emanating from Zorro's body continued to surge, instantly returning him to the third rank, and was still rapidly increasing.

"Roar!"

Feeling his power rapidly surging within him, Zorro couldn't help but let out an excited roar.

Under the immense power of the supreme rules, Zorro's body began to grow rapidly, and the patterns on his skin became increasingly complex.

On the foreheads of the two ferocious heads, horns began to grow, and the tips of the horns even emitted a white light.

As streams of energy continuously merged into his body, Zorro's strength experienced a leap forward.

Fourth-order, fifth-order, sixth-order, and then the pinnacle of sixth-order.

After a long while, the last trace of the Beast's aura merged into Zorro's body.

"boom!"

Quantitative change eventually led to qualitative change. Zorro suddenly raised his head and roared to the sky, and countless dazzling white light patterns appeared around his body, circling around him in circles.

The white light was so dazzling that even Lu Jin, who had been teleported back to the temple, couldn't see the details clearly. He could only sense that Zorro was undergoing a tremendous transformation.

After a long while, the supreme pressure dissipated, and the supreme rules receded.

The countless dazzling white runes surrounding Zorro completely merged into his body, manifesting Zorro's form as the King of Beasts. Looking around, Lu Jin saw that Zorro's appearance was no longer as ferocious and ugly as before.

After transforming into the King of Beasts, Zorro's divine body was flawless, with two hands, two feet, one head, one mouth, one nose, two eyes, no ears, and two snow-white horns on his forehead, curving upwards.

At first glance, it gives people a sense of holiness and beauty.

Judging solely from appearance, it's an exaggeration compared to the ugly duckling turning into a swan.

"Shh!"

The power of the Beast surged, its massive body rapidly shrank, and magnificent platinum battle armor materialized. Zorro knelt on one knee and bowed to Lu Jin, saying, "Master, thank you for making Zorro the final king. Your will will be above all else!"

Zorro: Loyalty!
"very good!
Lu Jin nodded in satisfaction and helped Zorro up.

With the Beast King in hand, as long as he doesn't die, he's guaranteed to have a God-King level fighter in the future, and a super fighter who can train an endless army of warriors.

Then, Lu Jin instructed, "Zorro, I have a task for you now."

"Please give your orders, Master!"

Zorro said respectfully.

"The Eastern Emperor Holy Land is the number one enemy of my Heavenly Court. In the past, relying on the Holy Land's powerful universe defense, my Heavenly Court could do nothing to it."

But times have changed. The Eastern Emperor's Holy Land has disrespected the Mandate of Heaven, and its time for destruction has come.

Keep this safe. I will teleport you to the outer reaches of the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land universe, where you can devour it.

As he spoke, Lu Jin handed Zorro a Kunlun Token.

"Yes, Master!"

Zorro respectfully accepted the Kunlun Token.

"Shh!"

With a thought, Lu Jin located the Kunlun Token that he had left outside the universe of the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land and teleported Zorro there.

On the other side, in the primordial universe, within the virtual universe, before the Supreme Temple.

Upon receiving a report from the Universe Lord of their own Giant Axe Arena that a major anomaly had occurred within the Inclining Peak Realm, Giant Axe urgently convened a supreme council of its race.

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

One after another, the figures of the members of the Supreme Council of the races appeared. Before long, all the members of the Supreme Council of the human race were present, except for Lu Jin.

Sure enough, Lu Jinzhen didn't receive the message.

Because Lu Jin did not leave behind a divine incarnation in the original universe.

Zi Nishang knew that Lu Jin was clearing out the nests of the Beast Realm, so she did not send anyone to the small universe to inform Lu Jin of the meeting.

"Yaochi, I wonder where Lingxiao is right now?"

Seeing that Lu Jin had not arrived, Giant Axe asked Zi Nishang.

Zi Ni Chang shook her head and said, "His Majesty has important matters to attend to and should not be disturbed."

Lu Jin is currently clearing out the Beasts of the Realm. It's one thing for the Heavenly Court experts not to be able to help, but they can't interfere with Lu Jin and distract him.

Upon hearing this, Giant Axe did not press further. Instead, he turned his gaze to the crowd present and said in a deep voice, "Just now, a Universe Lord guarding the entrance to the Peak Realm in the Giant Axe Arena sensed the overwhelming power emanating from the inner domain of the Peak Realm."

Although we haven't explored it thoroughly, it seems that a drastic change has occurred in the Dark Land of the Peak Realm. We must prepare for the worst.

Zi Ni Chang: "."

If nothing unexpected happens, this commotion should be caused by Lu Jin making too much noise while he is exterminating the Beasts.

Suddenly, at that moment, Zi Nishang, who had already received Lu Jin's good news offline, revealed a beautiful smile on her face.

"Giant Axe, there's no need to worry about the inner region of the Peak Realm anymore."

Zi Ni Chang smiled and said, then turned her gaze to everyone: "I have good news to tell you all. Just now, His Majesty has wiped out all the Beasts of the Dark Land, and the Beast Crisis has been completely resolved."

'boom--'

The entire Supreme Conference erupted in chaos.

The crisis of the Beast Realm, which the three ancestral gods of the Ancestral God Sect once spoke of as representing destruction, was actually quelled silently by the Heavenly Emperor.
Oh no, it can't be said to have happened quietly.

After all, a cosmic master of the Giant Axe Arena noticed the huge commotion coming from the entrance to the Peak Realm.

Then, Zi Ni Chang looked at the Lord of Chaos City and said, "Previously, at His Majesty's request, the Origin Will was able to release the Primordial Ancestor after the Heavenly Court resolved the crisis of the World Beasts. Chaos, you can go to the Ancestral God Sect to welcome the Primordial Ancestor."

"Release the teacher?!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the Lord of Chaos, the Lord of Darkness, and the Lord of Ice Peak suddenly stood up, their eyes filled with disbelief and overwhelming joy.

Moreover, it wasn't just the three Chaos City Lords who were direct disciples of the Primordial Ancestor; other high-ranking members of the clans who were close to the Primordial Ancestor, such as Giant Axe and Dragon Lord, were also extremely excited.

"Original will has already made its promise and will not go back on it."

Zi Ni Chang nodded and said.

"Whoo~"

The Lord of Chaos City took a deep breath and said, "Once we welcome our teacher back, we will definitely pay a visit to express our gratitude!"

After saying this, within the Primal Secret Realm, the Chaos City Lord's Thousand Treasures River clone immediately rushed to the Ancestral God Sect, as did the Dark Lord and Ice Peak Lord offline.

Three days later, the cosmic origin of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land was completely devoured by Zorro, the King of Beasts.

Under the impotent rage of the Eastern Emperor's ancestral divine power incarnation, the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land universe collapsed, and all life within it, including the Western Star Lord and the Eastern Star Lord, perished.

At this point, apart from the miniature universes of the true gods of the primordial universe era and the world of Jin, although the true gods of the two great cycles of reincarnation still exist in the Cosmic Sea, there are no more miniature universes; only the remnants of miniature universes remain.

On the other side, in the Great Luo Heaven, at the Jade Pool.

Inside the magnificent palace, Lu Jin met the original ancestor who had been released from prison.

"Ling Xiao, thank you so much!"

Dressed in a white robe, the ancestor, who at first glance appeared refined and approachable, expressed his sincere gratitude.

"There's no need for that. According to seniority, Teacher Tian Shuang is actually your grand-disciple, the original ancestor!"

Lu Jin smiled and waved his hand.

Although his own strength was already unparalleled in the entire universe, Lu Jin still respected the master-disciple relationship between himself and Teacher Tian Shuang.

Not just now, but even if we achieve greater success in the future, it will be the same.

If you've become a "hanger" (someone who has achieved enlightenment but whose entire family benefits from it), how can you even call yourself a "hanger"?
Of course, the only person he truly respected was Teacher Tian Shuang.

As for the other people in the Virtual Universe Company, apart from Luo Lao Er, they were no different from other universe masters among the human race in Lu Jin's eyes.

After all, he had already repaid the company double for its nurturing of him when he left Virtual Universe Company.

Since Lu Jin was being so polite, Yuan Zu naturally wouldn't act like a grandmaster.

Putting aside the fact that Lu Jin's strength far surpasses his own, the fact that he was able to escape this predicament was entirely due to Lu Jin's efforts, and the Primordial Ancestor would not have done so.

Moreover, although the Primordial Ancestor was quite ruthless towards his enemies, many true gods in the cosmic sea used to avoid him.

However, the ancestor was very gentle towards his own kind, just like a refined elder.

After some polite exchanges, the Heavenly Court held a grand banquet.

It wasn't a celebration for the Primordial Ancestor's escape, but rather a celebration for the destruction of the World Beasts. Even all the Universe Lords of the Ancestral God Cult came to participate.
