Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 929

Scattered and scattered, and with the demons having devoured some of them themselves, hundreds of thousands of humans still gathered at the altar, though many of them were ordinary people.

After all, it's quite difficult for professionals to make a living, while it's much easier for ordinary people.

"let's start!"

The bull-horned demon didn't care; the quality of life in the main world far surpassed that of those smaller worlds, and even ordinary people there were extraordinary.

Don't be fooled by their ordinary appearance in the main world; once they go to some lower-level worlds, they become incredibly powerful, like gods or demons.

The horned demons have also attacked some smaller worlds, many of whose powerful members are not even as strong as ordinary people in the main world.

At the bull-horned demon's command, the demons responsible for the sacrifice immediately began to pour demonic power into the altar.

boom…

In an instant, a massive sacrificial fire erupted, instantly engulfing the hundreds of thousands of lives on the altar.

Countless cries of pain and agony rang out, but instead of affecting the sacrificial fire, they made the flames burn even more fiercely.

When the forces of Yin and Yang, representing the antagonistic demons and the righteous life, converge, the incredibly thick barrier of the main world is instantly shattered, connecting it to another great world.

"Owner!"

The bull-horned demon felt a familiar will descend upon it and instantly knelt on one knee.

"Your subordinate has failed in his duties and begs for your punishment, Master." The horned demon respectfully recounted the events that had occurred in the main world.

The owner had made all the arrangements in advance, but they still failed. They couldn't take Blackwater City in time and even had to ask the owner for help in the end.

"I already know!"

The voice of the Demon Lord rang out, devoid of any emotion, as if it were the will of heaven and earth, aloof and unmoved by anything external.

For some reason, the bull-horned demon felt that the lord's majesty had deepened considerably.

Although the will of the abyss equally favors every demon, some demons are indeed treated more equally.

As the will of the Demon Heaven descended, the ethereal sacrificial fire erupted instantly, transforming into a tangible halo, and a gate to the abyss was opened.

The vast and mighty abyssal aura flowed involuntarily from high concentration to low concentration, eroding the outside world.

Seeing the appearance of the Abyss Gate, the Bull-Horned Demon breathed a sigh of relief. This gate not only provided it with a continuous stream of support from the Abyss, but also allowed it to retreat and save its life in critical moments.

Although demons are not afraid of sacrifice, they will still choose to retreat when faced with irresistible forces.

For example, a legend might suddenly appear... or surrounding forces might come to their aid, resulting in a group of Gold-level experts...

crunch...

Waves of demons emerged from the Abyss Gate, replenishing the demon army's resources.

Only by connecting to the abyss can the demon army be called the locusts of all realms, endless and inexhaustible.

With a continuous stream of demons supporting them, the Bullhorn Demons are confident they can take over the entire Blackwater City even without the help of other higher-ranking demons.

Quantitative change can lead to qualitative change, and even the most powerful gold-level beings will be submerged in the demon army.

The Abyss Lord's minions have no shortage of demons; they can't kill them all even if they fight each other to the death.

buzzing...

After the Abyss Gate spat out a horde of demons, it suddenly paused, and the flame patterns above it trembled violently.

The next moment, a scorching, sulfurous aura suddenly filled the entire square, and the aura emanating from the high-ranking demons instantly forced countless demons to bow their heads.

"General Niu...!"

As if echoing from hell, a creature covered in blood-red and fire-like markings, its body resembling a lava demon, emerged from the gates of the abyss.

Snapped!

The demon landed, causing the surrounding earth to tremble.

"Haha, it's finally here!"

Upon seeing the demon appear, the horned demon burst into laughter, his expression somewhat excited.

……

Chapter 830 Broken City

Beyond the Abyss Rift!

Three high-ranking demons, leading a million-strong demon army, formed a great formation, tightly sealing off the five ancestors and the War King—a total of six gold-level beings—preventing them from returning to their territories.

In a direct confrontation, the demons are not actually worried about these gold-level experts, since the higher-ranking demons are also very confident in their own strength.

Unfortunately, this is enemy territory. Even if these gold-level experts are foolish, they wouldn't abandon their advantageous terrain to fight the demons one-on-one.

Once these gold-level experts return to their long-established territories, leveraging their accumulated strength, even if the number of demons doubles, they might not be able to defeat them.

If you take in the support from surrounding forces, it will be even more difficult.

Since ancient times, open field battles and sieges have been completely different in terms of difficulty.

Inside the demon's cage.

The six gold-level experts continued to fight against the appearing demonic phantoms, unsure whether they had actually killed the demons, and were extremely frustrated.

Moreover, they had to constantly defend themselves against sneak attacks from higher-ranking demons, keeping their minds on high alert for fear of being seriously injured in the slightest carelessness.

"I wonder how things are going on Taizu's side. Is he able to hold on?" The Lei family patriarch was extremely agitated, wishing he could just punch through the cage outside.

"For the time being, there shouldn't be any problems. With the construction of our main city, even if it's just Taizu alone, it would take five or six Gold-level experts to break through the main city easily," Ancestor Stan said calmly.

"Moreover, the fact that we are still besieged but not under attack by a large number of high-ranking demons also speaks volumes."

Once the main city is breached, it will naturally be their turn next.

With six Gold-level demons joining forces, it would be difficult to defeat them without a greater number of higher-ranking demons.

"Makes sense!"

The Lei family patriarch breathed a sigh of relief; at least the worst outcome hadn't occurred yet.

“But we can’t continue like this. We must rush out and join Taizu immediately, otherwise I’m still worried about whether the main city can be defended.”

A prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat; who knows if the demons have any trump cards to break through the city?

If the city falls, leaving Blackwater City, with only one Gold-level warrior, to face an army of millions of demons would be a complete disaster.

After all, the number of high-ranking demons outside at this moment is enough to completely overwhelm the Tai family patriarch.

Most importantly, the demons can truly sustain themselves through war, growing stronger with each battle.

As an abyssal demon born of slaughter and destruction, every act of killing and destroying the world is equivalent to fulfilling one's path and completing the ritual of one's profession.

If that army of millions of demons can fight against the entire upper city, in the end, some demons might directly advance to higher levels, and that would be terrible.

"Even if it comes at a price, we must break through the demons' blockade as soon as possible." The Lei family patriarch said with murderous intent.

Simply waiting here is not the behavior expected of a Gold-level expert.

"That's right, we can't keep waiting for the enemy to show a weakness; we must take the initiative."

The War King said in a deep voice. He was also very concerned about the safety of War King City, since there wasn't even a single Gold-level expert in the lower city at the moment.

"Based on our observations over this period, there should only be three high-ranking demons remaining here. At the level of gold-level experts, we have the advantage."

The War King hadn't been waiting in vain; he had also gathered a fairly good understanding of the enemy's situation here.

"Take the initiative!"

The gold-level experts exchanged glances. As the patriarchs of their families, they were bound by their emotions and could not stand by and watch their families, which they had nurtured for countless years, fall into ruin.

Not to mention that the outside world and the inside world are now one, and the fall of either side means that the destruction of Blackwater City has entered its countdown.

“I agree, even if it comes at a price, we must leave here.”

The other gold-level members nodded in agreement; they couldn't just keep waiting like this.

"Alright, let's go all out when the higher-ranking demon attacks again."

……

The War King and the others were discussing how to break the cage, while the high-ranking demons responsible for imprisoning these gold-level demons were also quite annoyed.

"Has General Niu still not breached the enemy's stronghold? It's been so long already." The high-ranking demon in charge of guarding the area was very impatient.

"As expected of the main world, we've trapped all their experts, yet we still haven't breached their lair. If we had let them leave from the start, I'm afraid only the lord himself could have broken through," another high-ranking demon said warily.

"We can only wait for news from General Niu, and I'm also worried about whether these people can break our blockade."

The last high-ranking demon looked solemnly at the six gold-level experts in the cage.

After all, despite having the support of a million-strong demon army, the demons were still at a disadvantage in terms of the number of gold-level demons. Who knows what other tricks these people might have up their sleeves?

After all, General Niu's side still lost a high-ranking demon even with only one gold-level expert left, which terrified the demons.

What is held for too long will eventually be lost, and the same applies to them. Although the formation was given to them by the lord, their understanding of it was very poor and did not meet the lord's requirements at all.

If one could fully comprehend it, for example, by surrounding these people, one could completely wear down these experts bit by bit using the formation.

Even if these gold-level experts were allowed to return to their own territories, the millions of demons, working together, could still take down Blackwater City head-on.

Unfortunately, even though the higher-ranking demons are quite intelligent, they can be described as dull-witted in front of their lord.

"News has come from General Niu. He has rebuilt the altar and is preparing to contact the Abyss to obtain the Lord's support."

Soon, the three high-ranking demons received good news: General Bull had finally made contact with the lord.

"Demon Lord!"

Upon hearing news of their lord, the three high-ranking demons immediately became reverent. Although this was an abyss lord, to them he was practically a god-like being.

"I have failed the lord's trust and guidance!"

"We've made contact with the lord; it seems like breaching the enemy's stronghold is just around the corner."

The three high-ranking demons beamed with joy, displaying unparalleled confidence in their lord.

Once we capture this bridgehead and bring the lord over, with the lord's power, we can definitely stir up a storm in the main world.

At that time, they will also receive the rewards of the will of the abyss, and take this opportunity to advance further.
