Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 934

Fire and lightning collided instantly, and a deafening roar, like a celestial explosion, echoed in the sky, making it difficult for the humans and demons fighting below to breathe.

The unbridled battles of gold-level masters are a disaster for onlookers.

Of course, if the onlookers are a group of gold-level experts, that's a different story.

Swish swish!

The Lei family patriarch clashed with the Flame Demon, and the four patriarchs and five demons on the other side also moved instantly, each choosing their own opponent.

The battle between ten gold-level experts instantly turned the sky into a forbidden zone for demons and professionals.

Various primal and demonic powers surged and flew towards the battlefield below, disrupting the battle between many demons and professionals.

Various violent energy currents swept away blank areas one after another.

The ancestors who were fighting also engaged in combat with the demons. Now that they had started fighting, they temporarily put aside their hesitation and went all out.

After all, although the demons have a slight advantage in numbers, it's not certain who will win in a real fight.

Moreover, the city and family he had worked so hard to build were destroyed just like that. Even if they still thought of him, it didn't mean they had no temper at all.

"No, there are only five demons!"

However, after engaging in combat, the ancestors discovered something was amiss. Although there were six high-ranking demons, one of them suddenly disappeared.

If the demons were all upright gentlemen who didn't want to win by numbers, even if the ancestors were naive, they wouldn't believe such a thing.

"Be careful, there's another high-ranking demon hiding in the shadows. Don't get ambushed," Ancestor Stan quickly transmitted to the others.

"You dare to be distracted while fighting me? You're practically asking for death!" The horned demon instantly flew into a rage.

As a high-ranking demon, his senses were extremely sharp, especially in a full-force battle like this, and he instantly detected the fluctuations in Ancestor Stan's thoughts.

Despite the horned demon's fury, Ancestor Stan remained unmoved. Although the opponent's strength far surpassed that of a typical Gold-rank demon.

However, as the oldest of the six ancestors at the Gold level, Ancestor Stan's strength is equally formidable and in no way inferior.

Not only that, but Stan was even considering whether he could try to kill the opponent first.

If they can reduce the number of demons first, their chances of winning will be much higher.

As a veteran Gold-level expert, Stan is not only powerful, but also has many hidden cards up his sleeve.

The main world is rich in resources, and even though Blackwater City is just a remote area, there are still many treasures there.

Not to mention that remote areas are just remote regions. As a Gold-level ancestor, he would also occasionally go to some prosperous places to consume the resources he had accumulated in exchange for corresponding treasures.

"Invigorate Armor!"

The armor on Ancestor Stan glowed, directly withstanding the attack from the horned demon. The violent power, weakened by the armor, was absorbed by his gold-level body and could withstand it completely.

After withstanding the attack from the horned demon, Ancestor Stan launched a counterattack instantly. Heavy primal energy condensed in his hands, amplified by the gauntlet weapon, and he struck the enemy fiercely.

In a defensive counter-attack strategy, compared to the impoverished and poorly equipped demons, the well-equipped Stan the Ancestor had no need to suffer heavy losses while killing a thousand enemies.

Ancestor Stan punched the bull's head. The bull had just made its move, its old strength was gone and new strength had not yet been generated, making it its weakest moment.

However, at that moment, from the barely perceptible shadow of the bull-horned demon under the direct sunlight, a figure completely shrouded in shadow suddenly darted out.

A figure emerged from the shadows, wielding a black dagger, and instantly stabbed at Ancestor Stan.

"not good!"

Ancestor Stan was startled. He never expected that he had just warned others to be careful, only to find himself being targeted by this hidden sixth demon.

The dagger gleamed with a faint golden light, clearly indicating it was no ordinary weapon. Even with the armor protecting him, Ancestor Stan still felt a strong sense of danger.

Ancestor Stan tried to dodge first, but the horned demon on the other side directly rammed his head into him, meeting his attack head-on.

In a one-on-one situation, the bull-horned demon's behavior is simply foolish and courts death.

However, with the help of an assassin, things are completely different.

Under the influence of the bull-horned demon, Ancestor Stan was unable to dodge in time.

He narrowly escaped a fatal wound, but a black aura still appeared on his chest.

An ominous black aura continued to gnaw at the wound, forcing Ancestor Stan to expend more of his primordial power to counteract it.

"Hoohoo!"

Ancestor Stan looked at the assassin, who gave him a sinister smile before disappearing into the shadow of the horned demon and retreating back into the darkness.

During the battle, a powerful assassin lurks in the shadows, constantly watching the battlefield, putting immense psychological pressure on the enemies engaged in combat.

This is why the demons, despite having only one more member than their ancestors, remain full of confidence.

Shadow demons are extremely rare assassins in the abyss, and in this environment, their deterrent power far exceeds that of several high-ranking demons.

With just one strike, he inflicted serious injuries on Old Ancestor Stan, even making his subsequent movements somewhat restrained.

Most importantly, the demons themselves are quite powerful, which makes it impossible for the ancestors to do anything they want.

As soon as Ancestor Stan dodged, he was trying to heal the wound on his chest and think about how to deal with the situation, but the horned demon on the other side was not going to let this opportunity pass.

Although he was a little dizzy from being hit on the head, it didn't affect his attack, and he instantly pressed against the target.

With the bull-horned demon close by, even Ancestor Stan couldn't spare much thought for anything else.

Although he was quite strong thanks to his superior equipment, the enemy was clearly not someone who could distract him.

However, what troubled Stan even more was the assassins who could appear from the shadows from time to time.

Although he only made one move, it caused him great damage and forced him to devote some of his energy to dealing with the assassins.

The battle, which was originally evenly matched, was disrupted by distraction, causing Stan to fall into a disadvantageous position instantly.

There's no way around it; having an assassin constantly lurking in the shadows forces you to be on high alert. In a way, it's a form of psychological suppression.

Apart from Ancestor Stan, the other ancestors also became wary due to the appearance of the assassins, and their attacks became somewhat restrained, causing them to fall into a disadvantageous position.

Given their inherent numerical disadvantage, the gap between the two sides widened further under these circumstances.

call out!

The sixth demon assassin struck again, aiming for an elder.

The prepared ancestor easily withstood the assassin's attack and was not hit. However, the demon opposite him would not let this opportunity pass and cooperated with the assassin, directly forcing the ancestor into an absolute disadvantage.

Although they weren't injured like Stan, the battle situation continued to deteriorate.

The assassins even took direct action, joining forces with another high-ranking demon to besiege an ancestor.

Even though the assassins were not good at direct attacks, they were still comparable to gold-level beings. In a two-on-one situation, they made it very difficult for the ancestor to defend against them.

The stalemate between the ancestors and the higher-ranking demons gradually began to tilt due to the presence of the sixth demon.

On the other hand, the Lei family patriarch was completely focused on fighting to the death, so he was minimally affected. He had already included all the enemies in front of him in his attack range, so one more or one less wouldn't make a difference.

If the Shadow Demon dares to appear, the Lei family patriarch wouldn't mind finding a different opponent.

In fact, under other circumstances, the impact of assassins like this wouldn't be so strong, and the ancestors weren't without strategies to deal with it.

But the demons won't give them that chance. Most importantly, the ancestors are not of one mind, which makes many strategies unusable.

boom!

The Lei family patriarch fought fiercely, showing no regard for the situation, and was completely going all out.

Even when the Shadow Demon attacked him, the Lei family patriarch chose to trade blows, directly injuring the Shadow Demon.

"What are you still worried about? Do you really think these demons will give you any hope of escaping easily? If we don't severely injure them, you won't even have the right to run away," the Lei family patriarch shouted.

At this point, if you're still thinking about conserving your strength, you'll only end up dying here.

After the Lei family patriarch directly exposed their thoughts, some of the patriarchs who were emotionally unsettled instantly made up their minds. They understood many things, but they did need someone to push them a little.

The ancestors, having made up their minds, have increased their strength to an even level, seemingly giving them the illusion that they have leveled the situation.

"die!"

The shadow demon, lurking in the shadows, made its move from time to time and soon discovered the weakest of the five gold-level beings.

The devils naturally understand the principle of picking the softest persimmons to squeeze.

The Shadow Demon, which had been relentlessly attacking other Ancestors, suddenly shifted its focus to the weakest Ancestor.

"not good!"

The weakest ancestor suddenly felt immense pressure, and his body was covered in injuries. He immediately wanted to join forces with the other ancestors.

Joining forces will not increase overall strength, but it will greatly enhance the ability to maintain secrecy.

But it was too late. The two high-ranking demons didn't give him the chance at all and tore him apart alive with their combined strength.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and an old patriarch died.

Chapter 834 Die together

Tear!

The black dagger cleaved the man in two, and then the two high-ranking demons each devoured a portion of him, revealing satisfied smiles on their faces.

As a Gold-level being, one's body naturally cannot be ordinary flesh and blood like that of a wild beast.

Instead, it has been cleansed by the power of its origin over many years, and under the influence of its own will, it has regulated every minute detail of its body.

Each Gold-level body truly possesses a precise structure like gold, or even stronger.

For the demons, what appears to be eating people is actually absorbing and exhaling these primordial energies.

In particular, although demons are beings born from the abyss, they are inherently flawed, as evidenced by their extremely low level of intelligence from birth.

Therefore, devouring life outside the abyss can very effectively achieve the unity of yin and yang and restore the original essence.

When the will of the abyss created them, it had already set a flaw in them that forced them to fight and kill, so that they would be destined to work for the abyss for their entire lives until they died.

Being able to devour a gold-level source at this moment fills a superior demon with a sense of satisfaction that permeates both body and soul.

This sense of satisfaction is second only to the incredible power of the Leap of Life.

The other five demons, seeing this scene, immediately showed envy and jealousy in their eyes, and then looked at their enemy with longing.

Compared to the demons who were filled with desire, the ancestors who witnessed this scene felt a chill run down their spines, a coldness rising from within.
