Master of Devouring Stars

"A screaming ape? So arrogant?"

Li Ze stared at the small, ape-like figure covered in scales in front of him and thought to himself, "Something's wrong. This ape is clearly trying to provoke me!"

Countless thoughts flashed through Li Ze's mind in an instant.

Given the other party's attitude, it's clear they know I possess lord-level strength, yet they still provoke me. Either they have exceptional power, or they have ulterior motives.

However, although he didn't know why the other party did this, Li Ze didn't care much about it given his current strength.

No matter what schemes or tricks the other side may have, I will defeat them with my own strength!

Li Ze has this kind of confidence now!

Thinking of this, Li Ze shook his head slightly, losing the will to talk to the other party.

He had a thought in his mind.

Boom! !

A terrifying wave emanated from him, and endless karmic fire rose up, sweeping towards the void where the screaming ape was in front of him. Wherever it passed, layers of space and time trembled and shattered, just like seawater composed of flames.

"Chichi~"

Countless fragments of spacetime, as if being reassembled, collided and alternated with each other, sweeping directly towards the screaming ape.

Unrivaled in power!

"This... a direct attack without a word? Such powerful domain energy." The screaming ape stared at the fiery domain sweeping towards it, its heart sinking slightly.

He already knew that Li Ze possessed the combat power of a Hunyuan Lord, but now it seems that the opponent's strength is beyond his comprehension.

However, he hesitated for only a moment before deciding to proceed according to the plan.

"Space-Time Divine Realm, Condense!" The ape's heart stirred, and his life force began to surge.

Although he was limited by the fundamental rules of the Hunyuan Space and could not truly break through to the level of a Hunyuan Lord, his strength was no less than that of a Hunyuan Lord.

Wow~
With the screaming ape at its core, endless, illusory air currents surged and erupted, directly enveloping the spacetime of trillions of light-years around it.

then.

A series of wisps of illusory energy rapidly converged to form an illusory divine sword.

"Wow!"

The divine sword soared into the sky, raised high, and under the full control of the screaming ape, it slashed directly at the surging karmic fire domain that was sweeping in.

"Boom~"

Like the Big Bang, the illusory sword light instantly cleaved a vacuum area in the middle of the endless karmic fire domain activated by Li Ze.

The terrifying power contained within the karmic fire domain crashed outwards to both sides, causing layers of spacetime to collapse in the far distance.

but.

This has no effect on the screaming apes whatsoever.

"Good means."

"You are clearly not a lord, but the power of the domain you control is so strong that it has completely reached the level of a Hunyuan lord manipulating a domain-type lord-level Hunyuan secret treasure. I never thought that a life like you could be born in the depths of the Hunyuan space!" The magnificent voice traveled across billions of light-years through the chaotic space-time.

Following the sound was Li Ze, wielding the Heavenly Calamity Sword.

call!
Li Ze emerged from the endless karmic flames, radiating an aura of supreme power that swept over the ape, subtly pressuring it down.

And there was a hint of surprise in his eyes when he looked at the screaming ape!
Li Ze never expected that there would be a creature like the Crying Ape deep in the Hunyuan Space. It was not a Hunyuan Lord, but it possessed strength no less than that of a Lord.

"Haha, perfect, I'll use you to test my current strength," Li Ze laughed.

"kill!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Li Ze rushed through the void and headed straight for the screaming ape.

"They're coming to kill us?" Sensing Li Ze's sudden burst of power and attack, the monstrous ape sneered, "Li Ze, your strength is indeed formidable, but you are ultimately not a true Lord of Chaos Origin. You'd better hand over the opportunity you've obtained!"

"Otherwise, although I may not be able to kill you, any other life forms from your cultivator faction that come to the depths of the Chaotic Origin Space will never be able to return!"

The monstrous ape kept provoking Li Ze, trying to completely enrage him. Only in this way could it lure Li Ze to the dangerous place they had planned, and use the power of the place to keep him there.

"Heh, threatening me? What gives you the audacity to provoke me?" Li Ze sneered.

At his level, with boundless wisdom, he would not be easily provoked by the other party's words.

However, at this moment, Li Ze was more curious, wondering what the other party wanted to do by provoking him like this.
He stared coldly at the screaming ape and said, "Since you're so eager to provoke me, then I'll show you what you're up to!"

"I hope you can withstand my wrath!"

As he spoke, he swung the Heavenly Calamity Sword in his hand and slashed at the opponent.

Out of curiosity about the other party's purpose, Li Ze did not unleash his strongest power immediately.

"Kill!" A strange black sword appeared in the ape's hand, and it met the sword light that Li Ze swung.

Rumble~
In an instant, the two of them collided tens of thousands of times.

Because Li Ze did not unleash his full power, the Crying Ape was only slightly at a disadvantage in these tens of thousands of collisions.

"That's about enough. If I run now, he'll probably come after me." After another collision and separation, the Crying Ape had a thought, and a pair of black wings appeared on its back.

With a whoosh, his wings flapped, and the space-time around him instantly distorted, transforming into a terrifying stream of light that rushed backward.

"Is this... a way to lure me somewhere else?" Li Ze watched the fleeing figure, his eyes flickering slightly as he instantly discerned the other party's intentions. He thought to himself, "Let me see what you're really up to."

While thinking about it.

"Escape? Hahaha, you monstrous ape, since you've made your move because you want the opportunity on me, then you'd better be prepared to perish!" Li Ze looked determined to kill his opponent.

Talking.

Li Ze transformed into a streak of light, moving at an astonishing speed, and chased after the screaming ape.

"Li Ze, I will definitely wipe out all the cultivators in your faction who have entered the depths of Hunyuan, I will!" the roaring ape brain responded.

"Wow!"

A phantom aura reappeared around the screaming ape, and strands of phantom aura converged, quickly forming two terrifying sword lights. The two sword lights distorted space and directly attacked Li Ze.

Although he escaped, he continued to pursue Li Ze in order to lure him away, and he would not give up attacking Li Ze.

"Domain attack? Hmph, child's play!" Li Ze sneered as he looked at the sword light slashing towards him.

Li Ze brandished the Heavenly Calamity Sword in his hand, charging straight at the enemy without dodging at all.

His goal was to crush the Crying Ape with overwhelming strength, completely destroying its courage and fighting spirit.

The two sides clashed in the blink of an eye.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

The sound resembled the clash of weapons, but it was actually the collapse of the two sword beams that the ape had unleashed, which spanned billions of light-years.

It transformed into layers of illusory air currents that impacted all directions.

boom!
Li Ze burst out from the dense air currents and pounced on the screaming ape with lightning speed.

A phantom airflow domain? It couldn't stop Li Ze at all. Although he wanted to figure out what the screaming ape was up to, Li Ze wouldn't let it escape so easily.

That would seem too deliberate!
At this moment, both Li Ze and Li Yuan had their own plans.

"You screaming ape, prepare to die!"

Li Ze roared, his power was simply unbelievable, and he raised the Heavenly Calamity Sword high, as if he were about to split the heavens and the earth.

Swift!

It disregarded the numerous obstacles of time and space.

"Haha, you think you can kill me? Dream on!" The ape's voice was deep and powerful, but in reality, it was quite emotional.

When I was reviewing intelligence earlier.

Li Ze was able to suppress the Primordial Ancestor of the Primordial Chaos Life Faction, and even survived the self-destruction of the Infinite Serpent, which made him think he was very powerful. Now that he was facing him himself, he realized that his opponent was even stronger than he had imagined!

If the fighting continues, he might really perish at the hands of his opponent.

After all, although he was comparable to the Lord of Hunyuan in strength, he did not have the Lord of Hunyuan's ability to be immortal!

"Whoosh!" The sword light unleashed by the Heavenly Calamity Sword, carrying unparalleled power, seemed to cleave the void in two, and a terrifying crack instantly appeared in the vast void.

"Get out of here!"

The ape's wings fluttered wildly behind it, and it suddenly turned its head, brandishing its battle sword.

With a "whoosh," a ray of sword light appeared from the endless, dark void, like the first light at the beginning of a universe.

Sword light swept across the heavens and earth!

"boom!"

The two sword lights collided, and the void exploded with a deafening roar. Countless miniature source worlds were born and destroyed within the sword light.

The immense force generated by the collision caused Li Ze to momentarily sway.

With a "whoosh," the screaming ape used the force to leap backward and then fled into the distant void.

"kill me?"

"Li Ze, you can never kill me. Just wait for my revenge on your cultivator camp!" As the screaming ape retreated, its roar echoed through the endless void.

"Is that so?" Li Ze's icy voice rang out again: "Then what do you think of this move?"

As Li Ze's voice rang out, a rumble suddenly erupted from his body—the Chaos Bell—shining with bronze light, rapidly expanding and growing larger, as it charged toward the screaming ape.

Since the other party knows his information, they must know that the Chaos Bell is the strongest secret treasure in his possession. If he doesn't use it, the other party will definitely have some suspicions.

However, although Li Ze activated the Chaos Bell to attack, he did not unleash its full power.

"Is it that bronze giant bell treasure? Very good! My provocation of him earlier should have angered him." The ape looked at the towering bronze giant bell that was rapidly smashing towards it, a trace of solemnity flashing in its eyes, but at the same time, it inexplicably believed that Li Ze had been angered by it.

"However, this bronze bell is probably very powerful, I have to be careful!" the ape thought to itself.

"go with!"

Then, the ape brandished its sword, and streaks of sword light flashed, layer upon layer of sword energy appeared, enveloping the vast void. Instantly, it merged with the surrounding domain, forming a powerful defensive secret technique.

"Oh!"

A series of sword lights crashed into the Chaos Bell that Li Ze was hurling at him.

For a while.

Even with Li Ze deliberately holding back, the Chaos Bell, though having the upper hand, was only slightly better and was completely blocked by the Crying Ape's defensive secret technique.

Although the impact of the Chaos Bell sent the screaming ape flying again, its life force remained unaffected, and it used the force to retreat and escape.

"Kill!" Li Ze roared and chased after him again. His speed was astonishing. He held the Heavenly Calamity Sword in one hand and the Chaos Bell in the other, both of which possessed heaven-defying power.

Under Li Ze's attack, the surrounding spacetime collapsed layer by layer.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! You can't escape, you screaming ape!" Li Ze seemed to have gone mad with killing intent, chasing after the screaming ape again and again, attacking desperately, leaving the screaming ape exhausted from defending itself.

But that's all!
Time passed slowly, and even the Crying Ape himself felt that Li Ze's attack had reached its limit and it was impossible to kill him.

This gave him even more confidence in their plan.

"I'll let you be arrogant for a while longer." The ape sneered inwardly as it fought and fled, constantly wielding its divine sword and desperately battling Li Ze.

Rumble~
The two beings, standing at the pinnacle of the infinite primordial space, engaged in a massive battle deep within the vast primordial space. The aftershocks of their fierce battle, even across trillions of light-years, were enough to annihilate any world-class primordial powerhouse.

Li Ze's attacks seemed powerful and he had the upper hand, but in reality, he couldn't hurt the Crying Ape at all.

"At this rate, I can fly all the way and in thirteen days at most lure him into the 'Heavenly Annihilation Forest.' By then, he won't be able to escape!" The Crying Ape was extremely calm at this moment, frantically fleeing while constantly clashing and fighting with Li Ze.

"Boom~"

Li Ze and the Crying Ape were engaged in a bloody battle, their secret treasures clashing time and again, their sword lights constantly colliding, and terrifying aftershocks repeatedly impacting all directions.

Fortunately, this was in the depths of the endless primordial chaos, where almost no life existed. If the bloody battle had taken place in a land with primordial resources, the battle would have been enough to destroy countless primordial worlds and cause the fall of countless lives.

In a void far away from where the Li Yuan and Li Ze were fighting, it was pitch black and there was no light at all.

In the endless darkness, there seemed to be towering trees growing.

On the edge of darkness, in a region where the primordial energy is extremely scarce.

Several figures were waiting here.

They were none other than Cang Zu and his party.

"I didn't expect Li Ze to be so easily provoked. With this mindset, I'm even more confident in our upcoming ambush." ​​Among the several figures, a humanoid figure, pale all over and looking extremely miserable, said in a shrill voice.

"Haha, yes, and his strength isn't as great as the intelligence reports. Although he can suppress the Crying Ape, he can't inflict much damage on it." Another figure shrouded in blue light chuckled.

"This time, we must seize the opportunity to kill Li Ze," a figure said, his eyes gleaming with boundless desire.

He had initially worried that Li Ze wouldn't be easily lured by the screaming ape, but things progressed much more smoothly than he had imagined.

"Alright everyone," said the ancient-faced 'Ancestor' atop the towering tree. "Although the Crying Ape has sent a message, we cannot be careless."

"This is the greatest opportunity we have ever encountered in our countless years of existence, and we must seize it."

"Although Li Ze might be directly killed by 'Heavenly Annihilation Forest' given the current situation, we cannot be careless."

"Get ready," Cang Zu said in a deep voice. "If anything unexpected happens, we'll need to personally take action to surround and kill him."

Cang Zu's words left the other figures speechless.

But then.

"Don't worry, Cang!"

“We have set up many deadly moves in the Heavenly Annihilation Forest. Even if Li Ze unleashes even greater power, he will definitely be killed by us.”

“Yes, each of us is equivalent to a Chaos Lord. If we attack together, he alone will definitely not be able to withstand us,” the other figures chimed in.

"I hope so," Cang Zu murmured to himself.

However, a vague sense of unease lingered in his heart. (End of Chapter)
