Chapter 549: Chapter 473: The Celestial Demon Appears, Billions of Lives Sacrificed

And it was evident that this was not the first time he had done such a thing.

After the sacrifice of billions of living beings, the life essence produced was immense.

Yet in front of this black silhouette, it began to be absorbed cleanly in a short period of time.

And as his aura continued to grow stronger, the entire sky slowly dimmed.

Not far away, upon seeing this scene, the Celestial Race people ordered.

Immediately let those ordinary creatures accelerate the sacrifice.

Just like that.

Time passed by bit by bit.

When this planet had no more life.

The life essence was also completely absorbed by that black silhouette.

The mist around him became even denser than before, exuding a terrifying aura from his body.

"Not bad, my strength has recovered by another ten percent." The black silhouette stood up, speaking with satisfaction. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

As for those ordinary creatures that provided him with power, he didn’t pay the slightest attention, directly looking at the Celestial Race person, and softly said: "You did well, let’s go to the next place."

Though he had recovered some strength, it was clearly still not enough for him.

Because afterward, they needed to go to the Heavenly Star to deal with the true powerhouses of this world.

There are numerous Celestial Rank Immortals and Supreme Immortals, with terrifying strength.

Continuing to restore and enhance is necessary.

"Yes!"

The Celestial Race person immediately responded.

Soon after, the two figures vanished.

And this once-prosperous planet became extremely quiet.

Only the collapsing black altar and the surging lava remained.

Indeed, a planet was thus destroyed, similar to how Earth would be, without protection.

But whether in the eyes of the Outer Celestial Demon or the Celestial Race people, all of this seemed insignificant.

Meanwhile, shortly after their departure.

The Void Passage appeared.

Lu Yuan and the others emerged from it and quickly investigated the place.

At the sight before them, Jiang Ningxian and the others immediately changed their expressions slightly.

"We’re late again."

Jiang Haokong’s anger intensified upon seeing this.

Because ever since they decided to track down the Outer Celestial Demons.

In a short time, they had searched numerous life-harboring planets.

Aside from those with very little life, other living creatures were mostly sacrificed.

And every time, they felt like they were going to catch up, but in reality, they were a step slow.

This meant that during this period, a massive number of living beings died.

How could Jiang Haokong not be furious?

However.

Lu Yuan remained very calm, analyzing the situation, and then spoke, "From the planets we’ve been to, not every life-harboring planet is visited by the Outer Celestial Demons; if there’s too little life, it doesn’t interest them, so we need to change strategy."

"You mean going directly to those planets with a large amount of life?"

Jiang Ningxian immediately understood and responded.

"Yes, there’s no time to lose, don’t waste any more time."

Lu Yuan nodded, then once again opened a Space Passage.

At the same time, he summoned Fu Xi’s Eight Trigrams Map, surveyed the surrounding Star Realm, and immediately pinpointed the target.

After doing all this, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes: "This time, I don’t believe you can escape again!"

After saying this, he directly walked into the Space Passage; with numerous planets, how much life is there? Even Lu Yuan was angry now, and a killing intent was produced.

And Jiang Ningxian and the others closely followed behind, their anger ignited as well.

Meanwhile, on another planet.

Another volcano.

Another black altar.

The Outer Celestial Demon had already arrived, sitting cross-legged above it.

At the same time, three strong Celestial Race individuals appeared here.

Each was at the Grotto Heaven Immortal level, with exceptionally strong power.

They stood above the void, gazing down, emanating a terrifying pressure.

And the living creatures on this planet were just like the humans on Earth, all belonging to the human race.

In fact, in the universe, the number of humans is vast.

At this moment.

Under the pressure of those three Celestial Race powerhouses.

They had no choice but to be forcefully gathered into those volcanoes.

Thunder resounded in the sky, and below, countless people trembled.

Watching those being forced to jump and die, the old, children, and women felt fear.

Shouts and cries erupted, they didn’t want to die, but in the sky, the Celestial Race people showed no mercy, directly throwing a group of people down.

As such, the life essence within the volcanoes grew denser and denser.

But the Outer Celestial Demon seemed unhurried.

Because he knew, it was still not enough.

More was needed.

Thus, as time passed.

More and more people died, losing their lives, and this planet seemed to instantly turn into a purgatory.

Yet the Celestial Race people didn’t care at all, it seemed to them that helping the Outer Celestial Demon restore strength was the most important thing, regardless of the number of deaths in the process.

"The life essence of ordinary people is just too little, if it were the same number of cultivators, that would be different."

"Unfortunately, our people haven’t fully arrived, even when they do."

"Crossing the world’s barriers drastically weakens their strength."

"But it doesn’t matter, with the life essence in front of me,"

The Outer Celestial Demon sitting on the black altar spoke, still shrouded in mist so his features were unclear, and his words seemed a bit unsatisfied with the current progress.

Yet, he was unconcerned, for a simple reason.

As long as this planet’s beings were completely sacrificed and their life essence devoured.

Their power would be significantly stronger, enabling him to directly head to the Heavenly Star.

And once the trouble at the Heavenly Star was resolved, things would become much easier.

But just at that moment.

The Outer Celestial Demon’s expression suddenly changed.

Because he sensed the turbulence in the void.

Not far away, other Celestial Race people also noticed, each shocked.

At this very moment, the void trembled.

A passage.

Appeared directly in front of everyone.

Then, figures emerged one after another from within.

The one at the forefront.

Was Lu Yuan.

Upon seeing the countless beings being thrown into the volcanoes, beings looking identical to humans, he didn’t hesitate at all, immediately ordering: "Take action, preserve those people, I’ll kill those Celestial Race strongmen."

Not having encountered them, nothing might have happened, but now that he saw, Lu Yuan chose not to stand by.

So, in an instant, he directly took action, his powerful aura surged forth.

Beside him, Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong also stepped forward.

In the blink of an eye.

Lu Yuan appeared in front of those three Celestial Race individuals.

This time, he did not hold back.

He struck with a punch.

Rumble~

The void shook, the ground trembled.

The three Celestial Race members at the Grotto Heaven Immortal level didn’t even have time to react before they were reduced to blood mist.
