Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Even the most furious patriarch of the Lei family had a calm look in his eyes at this moment.

As the saying goes, even though one is used to seeing life and death, no one can ignore the terrible things that might happen to them at any moment.

"He died just like that!"

Stan said in a low voice that the six of them had supported each other for so many years and even built Blackwater City together. Although there had been conflicts, their relationship was almost like that of brothers.

Now that one of them has died, even the hardest-hearted person has softened.

"Stan, are you still going to hide?" The Lei family patriarch suddenly erupted, forcing back the Flame Demon with a single move and arriving beside Patriarch Stan.

"Lei Zu!"

Ancestor Stan's expression was complicated. If he could, he would have hoped that none of the six of them would have died. Even if Blackwater City was destroyed, as long as the six of them were still alive, it could still be rebuilt.

Unfortunately, even if the Tai family patriarch were to become a monster, he would not abandon them.

If the Tai family patriarch really wanted to run away, given the resources left over from the main city at that time and the strength of the demons, the probability of him surviving would be very high.

However, if that happens, the main city will be in the demons' hands. Once they connect to the abyss, the five of them will definitely not be able to go back down, and may even be trapped and killed in the demon's cage.

"I understand!"

Stan made a decision in his heart: it was just one life, and he had lived enough anyway.

The other two patriarchs also made the same choice, probably because they were outnumbered and had no other choice.

Immediately, the four patriarchs gathered together, their gazes fixed on the six demons, their expressions resolute.

Although they were down to one, making it four against six, their unified aura surpassed that of the scattered soldiers from before, forcing even the demons to take notice.

If they cannot function as a unified whole, the more numerous they are, the weaker they become.

However, if everyone can be of one mind and work together, the more people there are, the stronger they will naturally be.

Seeing the humans completely united, the six demons' expressions turned serious. They transformed from cotton into a lump of iron, and even if they wanted to eat it, they would probably lose a mouthful of teeth.

But I still want to eat it!

In an instant, the five demons joined forces to attack the four ancestors, while the shadow demon remained hidden in the shadows, ready to launch a sneak attack at any moment.

This time, although there was one less person, the four patriarchs guarded the four directions respectively, forming the Four Symbols Formation, blocking all directions of attack.

The combined attack of the five demons was easily blocked by the four patriarchs.

The Shadow Demon also failed to find a weakness and did not make a move for the time being.

The five demons joined forces but were blocked by the Four Ancestors, and the horned demon and other demons suddenly found themselves in a difficult situation.

Although demons have a tendency to self-destruct, it doesn't mean they are mindless, especially high-ranking demons.

Although the four patriarchs displayed considerable power, the defense was not as impenetrable as the demons, who held an absolute advantage at the moment, had imagined.

The millions of demons below are not only there to slaughter the weak.

The main world has accumulated wisdom and resources, while the demons, though lacking these things, can find a way to fill the gap elsewhere: the demon army.

By directly involving the demon army in the siege of the experts, although the losses were relatively large, they were still able to exert considerable power.

Even if there is only a difference of one realm, numbers can still exert a powerful deterrent effect.

For the powers in the main world, this is generally a losing proposition, as cultivating powerful professionals is simply too difficult.

Using them directly as consumables in military formations is simply too cost-effective.

But for demons, if it's just about expending their subordinates, there's no such thing as cost-effectiveness.

Seeing the four seemingly impregnable ancestors, the demons suddenly became restless.

"If Taizu and the other one were here too, that would be great."

Having joined forces to stop the six demons, Ancestor Stan was somewhat regretful. If the six of them had joined forces, along with the family's accumulated resources over the years, they might have even had a chance to keep these demons here.

Unfortunately, he fell into the devil's trap and was unable to fully utilize his power, which led to his current predicament.

"Hmph, although the main city has been breached, it doesn't mean that our six great families have perished. There are some things that these demons probably don't know," the Lei family patriarch sneered.

Do you really think it's that easy to destroy the entire Blackwater City? It's not like a legendary being personally intervened; the destruction wouldn't be that complete.

"That's right!"

Ancestor Stan looked down at the main city, which had been completely overturned, but there were still professionals struggling to resist and protect some strange buildings.

Despite this, the four of them did not look relaxed, after all, the threat of the demons was real, and one of them had just died.

If the demons were underestimated, the patriarch wouldn't have thought of retreating first, only to end up forcing himself into a desperate situation.

The saying "to retreat, one must first fight" is also a profound truth.

"Lead them there!"

The Lei family patriarch shouted, and the four patriarchs abandoned their defensive stance and instead chose to take the initiative to attack.

In an instant, the power of the ten Gold-level beings collided completely, and the power of origin and the power of demons intertwined, directly creating a vacuum energy isolation zone.

……

In the upper city, the battle between humans and demons reached its peak with the arrival of several elders.

Meanwhile, in the lower city, the battle between humans and demons was gradually coming to an end.

The arrival of the War King did not change the gradual destruction of the lower city.

After all, the upper city is still much stronger in terms of strength and foundation. At the same time, due to the previous convergence of the two cities, many professionals from the lower city have also moved to the upper city, weakening the lower city's war potential.

Facing the demon army head-on, they had virtually no power to resist.

Not to mention the endless stream of demon armies rushing in from all directions to provide support, making it a truly desperate war for the professionals of War King City.

Although the return of the War King brought some hope to the professionals who were fighting back, this hope was gradually fading away as time went by.

Bang... Sizzle!

In the center of the city, now reduced to ruins, the blood-soaked War King had only the demon before him in his eyes.

With a body at the Gold level, it's rare to have visible injuries. But with wounds all over his body, it's clear that the War King doesn't even have the will to maintain a facade of health.

"Humans!"

On the other side, the high-ranking demon Huo Yi was engulfed in blazing flames, but on the surface, there was no sign of any injury.

However, judging from his intermittent words, he was clearly also seriously injured.

The next moment, the human and the demon standing on opposite sides took a breath and then collided with each other again.

"war!"

The War King roared, constantly using words to condense his spirit, his whole being like a pillar supporting the sky, showing no intention of backing down.

Bang!

The War King's punch landed on Huo Yi, infused with the power of nihilistic battle intent, and also had a mental impact.

With a single punch, Huo was instantly struck by a double blow from body to soul, spitting out blood. However, the blood was immediately burned by the scorching flames as soon as it left his body.

"die!"

As the War King's fist struck Fire One, the Demon Claw also ripped open the War King's chest. The eerie and terrifying demonic fire flowed along the wound, constantly trying to devour the source of life.

With a single collision, the War King and the Fire King clashed hundreds of times in an instant.

You throw a punch, I throw a claw; sometimes the battle cries are like thunder, sometimes the flames are like torches.

At this moment, neither side had any intention of defense or attack; they were solely focused on taking the enemy's life.

One side was completely immersed in the fighting spirit, burning itself out completely; the other side was also immersed in destruction, even to the point of self-destruction.

In an instant, hundreds of exchanges condensed into a powerful energy cluster, which then exploded, sending the two combatants flying.

boom!

The two people who were thrown back landed heavily, their eyes looking past the explosion in the center and staring intently at each other.

"Humans...are...delicious!"

Huo Yi held a lump of meat in his hand, which, under the deliberate burning of the flames, even emitted a strong aroma of meat. Then, right in front of the War King, he opened his mouth and ate it.

"Gulu!"

As Huo Yi savored the delicious food, a look of ecstasy immediately appeared on his face. Not only did it possess a high-energy life quality, but it also greatly filled the gaps in his demonic origin.

And there was that almost indestructible spirit, the surging fighting spirit constantly stimulating Huo Yi's spirit like popping candy.

The combined physical and mental stimulation was the most delicious food it had ever tasted in its life, and it would be worth it even to the point of losing its life.

Tear!

Seeing Huo Yi's actions, Zhan Wang's expression remained unchanged. He tore open his wound, ripping the surrounding flesh off his body and then flinging it towards Huo Yi on the other side.

The flesh and blood, corrupted by demonic power, slammed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

This method of feeding, which resembled feeding a dog, caused Huo Yi, who had just been somewhat intoxicated, to turn cold.

Although it covets the flesh and blood of a gold-level professional, it doesn't mean it can accept such humiliation.

The next moment, the two, neither willing to admit defeat, adjusted their state and began fighting to the death again.

Both sides gradually abandoned their complex mindsets and retained only the purest form of fighting and killing.

There was no other reason than the simple desire to kill the enemy.

boom……

Blood and flames splattered everywhere, and both sides were at a critical juncture in their fight. However, it seemed that the battle had taken too much to bear, so the aftershocks were becoming less and less significant.

As the battle continued, one demon after another gradually surrounded them.

Seeing the War King on the verge of certain death, the surrounding demons suddenly became restless.

However, under the intimidation of the higher-ranking demons, these demons suppressed their urge to charge forward.

Clearly, Huo Yi had no intention of letting its subordinates interfere with its battle at this moment.

As the most exquisite food I've ever encountered, it's only truly delicious when I cook it myself.

Under the suppression of the superior demons, the surrounding demons only dared to pick up some "leftovers," that is, the scattered flesh and blood of the War King.

However, after eating, the intense stimulation seemed to subtly overshadow the suppression from the higher-ranking demons, causing many demons to become restless again.
