Technological advancement begins with devouring.

Chapter 366 Redemption?

An endless ocean whirlpool swept through.

The Titan's Endless Domain completely abandoned attack, pouring all its power into suppression and binding. In terms of binding force alone, combined with a top-tier domain treasure, its power is comparable to that of a peak domain treasure.

Even with the combined efforts of the three Star River Lords, it would be difficult for them to break free in a short time.

The main difference is that they are better at attacking and defending, unlike the three Lords of Tianjing.

The three masters of Tianjing had just used their desperate moves and wouldn't be able to do it a second time in a short period of time.

This is the strength of a powerful individual and the counterplay of their fighting style.

If it were any one of the Lord of the Celestial Crystal, the Lord of the Liulan Star, or the Lord of the Bodhi Tree, the Titan's Endless Domain could be breached instantly.

However, due to their fighting styles, although the Star River Lord, Heart Piercer Lord, and Prison King are not weak, and may even be slightly stronger than the Heavenly Crystal Lord and his companions in direct combat, they cannot do the same thing.

Under the suppression of the domain, the speed of the three Star River Lords was greatly reduced, and they crawled like turtles.

Furthermore, the distraction caused by the Destroyer and the Hellwalker completely thwarted their plan to break out quickly.

After only a short delay, Jiang Chen arrived at the battlefield with the three wardens from the Netherworld.

All twelve mechanical commanders have gathered!

"Well done!" Jiang Chen's voice rang in everyone's minds: "Now, you can strike!"

As he spoke, countless mechanical units appeared around Jiang Chen, and the mechanical legion made its debut!

Under Jiang Chen's control, the moment the hundreds of thousands of mechanical legions appeared, they launched a concentrated attack on the Lord of the Star River and his group.

The endless attacks instantly engulfed the Lord of the Galaxy and his companions.

Three special mechanical devices are also ready and waiting to be started.

……

the other side.

Upon seeing that the Lord of the Star River and his two companions had failed to break through, the expressions of the Northern Frontier Alliance Leader, the Dream Demon Ancestor, and the Lord of the Primordial Island all changed slightly.

The leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance looked on with despair.

Among the cosmic lords besieged by the mechanical commanders, there are two of his subordinates!

With six against thirteen, the Lord of the Star River and his allies are highly likely to lose, and may even struggle to survive, with a significant chance of perishing.

The leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance didn't care at all about the lives of the Lord of Tianjing, the Prison King, and others.

However, if the Lord of the Star River and the Lord of the Liulan Star were to fall, it would be a heavy blow to the overall strength of the Northern Frontier Alliance.

It should be noted that the Lord of the Black Lotus had already been suppressed during the battle for the emergence of the Temple of Divergence!

If we lose the Lord of the Star River and the Lord of the Clouds Star, all the top fifth-tier universe lords in the entire Northern Frontier Alliance will be wiped out!

Of course, the Lord of the Star River and the Lord of Liulan Star were only clones, so they were not completely destroyed.

However, judging from the methods demonstrated by the mechanical familiars over the years since their emergence, even if a cosmic lord who died at the hands of the 'Warden of the Underworld' only lost one clone, that clone could not be regenerated.

——This is a matter of course.

The so-called 'fall' is actually just pulling his soul out of his divine body and imprisoning it in the body of the Netherworld Warden; there is no true fall.

Since the clone never died, it's impossible for it to create a new clone.

Although the leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance was unaware of the details, he was well aware of the outcome: if the Lord of the Star River and the Lord of Liulan Star died here, they would most likely permanently lose these two avatars.

Losing two clones with top-tier fifth-tier combat power would be an extremely heavy loss for any force in the Primal Universe or even the Cosmic Sea.

Strictly speaking, the leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance is a lone wolf. He accepted the position of 'leader' more for personal gain than because of any deep relationship with any ethnic group in the Northern Frontier Alliance.

However, if the Northern Frontier Alliance is weakened too much, it will inevitably suffer a great loss of benefits, and the 'offerings' that the Northern Frontier Alliance Leader can enjoy will also be reduced, which is unacceptable to him.

He did want to go and support the Lord of the Galaxy and the others, but under the suppression of the Giant Axe Founder, he couldn't find a chance to escape.

It must be said that the Giant Axe Founder truly deserves the title of "the strongest being in the universe." Even in the primordial universe where the power of his attacks was greatly suppressed, he was still able to overpower three of the strongest beings in the universe on his own.

Even with the combined efforts of the Northern Frontier Alliance Leader, the Primordial Island Lord, and the Dream Demon Ancestor, they could barely hold on against the Giant Axe Founder's offensive and had no chance to escape.

Even the Dream Demon Ancestor, who possessed the most powerful and precious armor, dared not withstand the attack of the Giant Axe Founder and try to find an opportunity to escape.

That axe, radiating a terrifying aura, was clearly an extremely powerful treasure.

"Damn it, when did Giant Axe acquire such a powerful treasure, and it's even the axe-type weapon that best suits him!"

The leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance was anxious, watching helplessly as the Lord of the Star River and the others were surrounded and in grave danger, yet he could not find any opportunity to rescue them.

"Giant Axe!" The leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance hurriedly transmitted his voice: "In this battle for the supreme treasure, our Northern Frontier Alliance will give up, and spare Xinghe, Liulan, and the Black Lotus. Our Northern Frontier Alliance is willing to pay the price!"

"Willing to pay the price?" The Giant Axe Founder swung his giant axe and unleashed the 'Fourteenth Axe' once again. Fourteen vast phantom images of giant axes fell from the void, slashing at the three people respectively, forcing them to defend themselves with all their might.

In the void, the chains formed by the supreme rules of the primordial universe to suppress the attack power of the strongest beings in the universe showed faint signs of breaking.

The Giant Axe Founder attacked without pause, and at the same time transmitted his voice to the leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance: "Hand over your 'Qiqu Starlight Lake' and I will decide to let your people from the Northern Frontier Alliance leave."

Qiqu Starlight Lake is a supreme treasure of the realm, and can also be called the 'lifeblood' of the Northern Frontier Alliance Leader.

Although both are supreme treasures of the realm, the power of Qiqu Starlight Lake is far inferior to that of the Ancestral God Sect's supreme treasure, the 'Five-Colored Aurora Lake'. However, no treasure that reaches the level of supreme treasure is weak.

Even with the combat power of the Giant Axe Founder, if he could obtain the Qiqu Starlight Lake, his strength would be greatly enhanced.

At that time, the title of 'the strongest in the universe' will truly be well-deserved.

"This is impossible!" The leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance was furious. He demanded the most powerful treasure?

Leaving aside the question of whether three top-tier fifth-order universe lords are worth a supreme treasure, he himself would definitely not be willing.

He became the leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance for personal gain.

How could they possibly hand over their most precious treasure for the sake of the Northern Frontier Alliance?

If he loses this treasure, his strength will drop by at least one level.

Compared to his own strength, the benefits brought to him by the Northern Frontier Alliance were insignificant.

He would rather give up the entire Northern Frontier Alliance than lose his most powerful treasure.

The leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance directly stated his conditions: "Our Northern Frontier Alliance is willing to offer three supreme treasures in exchange for the three Star River Lords. One supreme treasure in exchange for one person."

In the eyes of the Northern Frontier Alliance Leader, redeeming a top-tier fifth-order Universe Lord with a supreme treasure was a very worthwhile deal.

Most importantly, this treasure does not need to be provided by him personally, but by the Northern Frontier Alliance, thus not involving the interests of the Northern Frontier Alliance Leader himself.

He wouldn't hesitate to give away valuable items from the alliance, no matter how much it cost.

"Three supreme treasures?" The Giant Axe Founder saw through the Northern Frontier Alliance Leader's plan at a glance and sneered, "You wouldn't be talking about the Star River Lord's 'Kunye' and the Liulan Star Lord's 'Lanshan,' would you? If I kill them, those two treasures will also belong to my Hong Alliance!"

The Lord of the Star River and the Lord of Liulan both possess supreme treasures.

If it weren't for their supreme treasure, they wouldn't have been able to hold out until now against the combined attack of the twelve mechanical commanders.

However, given their inferior numbers and strength, even with the help of top-tier treasures, the situation of the Star River Lord and his companions was precarious, and their barely held-up defenses could collapse at any moment.

Upon hearing the question from the founder of the giant axe, the leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance was speechless.

Within the Northern Frontier Alliance, there are only a few supreme treasures. Apart from the treasure he possesses, there are indeed only a few held by the Lord of the Star River, the Lord of Liulan Star, and others.

If they don't use their own treasures, and remove the supreme treasures possessed by the Lord of the Star River and the Lord of the Cloudy Star, the entire Northern Frontier Alliance combined wouldn't be able to gather three top-tier supreme treasures.

To be precise, at most one more item can be taken out, which is in the hands of a fourth-order universe master within the Northern Frontier Alliance.

Originally, the Northern Frontier Alliance Leader's plan was to use the Star River Lord's 'Kunye', the Liulan Star Lord's 'Lanshan', and the supreme treasure in the hands of the fourth-order Universe Lord to redeem the lives of the Star River Lord, the Liulan Star Lord, and the Black Lotus Lord.

It was said that three treasures were given away, but in reality, only one was truly handed over to Hongmeng.

After all, as the founder of the giant axe said, the two treasures, 'Kunye' and 'Lanshan', will belong to the Hong Alliance as long as the Lord of the Star River and the others are killed.

However, the leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance could also understand the unspoken meaning behind the founder of the Giant Axe.

Even excluding these two treasures, if the Northern Frontier Alliance were to offer three more top-tier treasures, the Hong Alliance would be willing to release the person.

but……

Where can I find three top-tier treasures to redeem someone?

The leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance possesses supreme treasures, and more than one of them.

Apart from his domain treasure, which is the most powerful treasure, all his other treasures—weapons, armor, soul treasures, and flying palace treasures—are all top-tier treasures.

However, the leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance was unwilling to hand over his treasures.

The leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance was willing to make this exchange, asking the Lord of the Star River and the Lord of Liulan to hand over their most precious treasures to save their lives.

However, the leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance was reluctant to ask him to use his own most precious treasure to redeem the people.

While the ultimate treasures may not enhance the strength of the strongest beings in the universe as much as the supreme treasures, the few ultimate treasures he possesses are all perfectly suited to him and provide a certain boost to his power.

Losing three top-tier treasures wouldn't necessarily cause one to fall in rank, but it would certainly reduce one's strength to some extent.

“A supreme treasure can redeem one person. A powerful treasure can redeem three people. The treasures they possess do not count.” The Giant Axe Founder stated his conditions bluntly: “If you do not agree, then there is no need to continue negotiating.”

"We once joined forces to fight the demon race, don't you have any mercy for us?!" The leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance tried to morally blackmail them, bringing up their previous alliance against the demon race.

Tens of thousands of years ago, after making peace with the demon race, the 'Demon Extermination Alliance' was not officially disbanded.

Of course, it has in fact been disbanded, but this has not been announced through any 'official channels' and the various factions have not discussed it at all.

In name only, the 'Demon Extermination Alliance' still exists.

If the demon race loses its trump card, the 'Chongyuan Shen', in the future, the Demon Extermination Alliance may reunite at any time to jointly deal with the demon race.

If the founder of the Great Axe is someone who values ​​face, bringing up the alliance at this point might indeed lead him to back down slightly and lower the conditions.

As for demanding the unconditional release of the person, the leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance never even considered it.

The founder of the Giant Axe was, after all, the leader of the human race and the Hong Alliance, and had to be responsible for the interests of the Hong Alliance.

"Allies?!" The Giant Axe Founder sneered, "Don't forget, who is it that the demon race isn't attacking you on?! My human race has already sacrificed enough for the alliance!"

After the demon race revealed their trump card, the 'Heavy Primordial Spirit,' no one in the entire Demon Extermination Alliance could contend with them.

If Jiang Chen hadn't used the [Warp Arbitrator] to deter the demon race and force them to cease hostilities, many forces within the Demon Extermination Alliance would likely have been severely damaged by the demon race.

The strategic value of a war fortress-type mechanical artifact in the cosmic ocean and the primordial universe is terrifying.

In a direct confrontation, the side without a fortified position has absolutely no chance of winning.

"My conditions will not change," the founder of the giant axe said directly. "If you want to redeem people, then follow the rules of my Hong Alliance. The Lord of the Black Lotus is currently suppressed by my Hong Alliance, and I can promise that I will not kill him for a thousand years. As for Xinghe and Liulan, we'll see if they can survive this battle."

The Lord of the Star River and the Lord of the Clouds are, after all, top-tier fifth-order universe lords.

If they choose to self-destruct rather than be captured alive, the chances of them succeeding in committing suicide are still quite high.

Even the founder of the giant axe couldn't guarantee that Jiang Chen would be able to capture the two alive or seize their souls.

However, if they successfully suppress the other side and the Northern Frontier Alliance is willing to pay a huge price to ransom the people, it is not impossible to consider accepting their deal.

Three top-tier treasures or one supreme treasure are still very important to the human race.

As for combat strength...

Once Jiang Chen perfects the 'Death Star,' at least at the level of a Universe Lord, powerful beings will no longer be of much use when facing the human race.

Whether it's a first-order universe master or a top-tier fifth-order universe master, they have absolutely no chance of winning against the 'Death Star'.

Sending a few people back won't affect the overall trend in the future.

There is only one race that can truly be considered a rival to the human race, and that is the demon race, which possesses the 'double primordial spirit'.

Once the 'Heavy Primordial God' is dealt with, it can be said that there will be no more enemies in the entire primordial universe that can be considered a match for humanity.

Upon hearing the words of the founder of the giant axe, the leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance fell silent.
