Master of Devouring Stars

On the endless battlefield of Hunyuan.

Without any hesitation, the six beings from the depths of the Chaos Origin instantly burned a massive amount of their life essence, unleashing their attacks to an unprecedented level as they surrounded and attacked Li Ze.

at this time.

They all chose to sacrifice themselves without hesitation, giving everything to help the Crying Ape escape Li Ze.

All of this was because of what the Crying Ape had told them before: this battle was to fight for a chance at freedom for all the life deep within the Chaos Origin Space.

"We must stop Li Ze."

"Fellow citizens, for the freedom of our people!"

"Kill!" Six figures attacked Li Ze frantically.

Their desperate attack finally held off Li Ze's assault.

"These lunatics!"

"Six of the strongest beings below the level of a Chaos Lord are attacking at the cost of their own lives? What kind of madness is this?" Li Ze gritted his teeth as he defended against the frenzied attacks of the six figures around him. "What are they fighting for? Why are they risking their lives like this? Does that screaming ape hold such a high place in their hearts?"

Looking at the six figures around him who seemed ready to die, Li Ze felt a mixture of confusion and complexity.

Regardless of their intentions, the fearlessness of these six beings from the depths of the Chaos Source Realm filled him with a sense of admiration.

but.

Although he admired these creatures deep within the primordial chaos, Li Ze did not give up his plan to hunt down the Crying Ape.

Having fought this far, Li Ze naturally wanted to find out what the other side was trying to do.

next moment.

"Boom~"

Li Ze controlled the vast illusory universe above, causing a change. As countless rays of light rose, a massive cosmic sword began to form, and then swept outwards.
Wow~
The vast sword light swept out towards the six beings deep within the primordial chaos, and the extremely powerful force instantly crushed their attacks.

"This, this is impossible!"

"How can his strength still increase?"

"No!"

Seeing that their attacks, which burned a large amount of their life essence, were easily swept away by Li Ze, the six beings deep in the Chaos Origin were all unwilling and roared in despair.

Ahead, the fleeing ape heard the roar, glanced back, and its expression turned even more terrified.
"Is this still Lord Hunyuan? Can our plan really kill him?" The cry ape wondered.

All I could see was behind me.

Although the six beings deep within the primordial chaos struggled desperately, they were still swept away by Li Ze's sword light.

It was clear that Li Ze was about to chase after the fleeing ape.

"I refuse to believe I can't stop you! Explode!" From among the six beings deep within the Chaos Origin Realm, one figure, entirely transparent with a human upper body and countless squid tentacles on its lower body, roared...

The next instant, his body began to expand wildly.

"Together."

"We'll come too."

"Explode!" Almost simultaneously, the other five beings from the depths of the Chaos Origin also began to expand wildly.

Before Li Ze could react, one after another, orbs of light, countless times brighter than the sun, appeared in his line of sight.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
The six most powerful beings below the level of Hunyuan Lords directly self-destructed.

An endless surge of energy, originating from the site of the self-destruction of the six beings deep within the primordial chaos, spread wildly outwards.
Even someone as strong as Li Ze couldn't avoid the opponent's fatal blow.

The Fiery Domain that originally covered the entire battlefield and the secret technique 'Cosmic Sword' activated by Li Ze were torn apart by the energy surge in an instant.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Almost at the same time.

These energy surges crashed onto Li Ze wave after wave, blasting him backward repeatedly.

With these self-destructions, Li Ze's suppression and restraint over the entire battlefield also dissipated.

"It's now!"

With a whoosh, the ape, now free from its restraints, was filled with rage. But it also knew that this chance to escape was bought with the lives of its six friends and juniors who had accompanied it for countless years. In an instant, it began to flee frantically.

The two fleshy wings on the back of the ape stirred up spacetime, instantly forming a spacetime tunnel, and it fled into the distance.

It's a long story.

In reality, the self-destruction of the six beings deep within the Chaos Origin shattered Li Ze's Karmic Fire Domain and Sword Universe, and occurred almost simultaneously with the escape of the Crying Ape using spacetime techniques.

Therefore, when Li Ze withstood the impact of the six beings from the depths of the Chaos Origin and turned to look at the Crying Ape, he could only watch the Crying Ape flee and enter the space-time tunnel.

The moment the ape's figure disappeared into the void.

"Wow!"

A sword light slashed across the vast void, shattering the spacetime passage into pieces, but it was too late!
not far away.

"Boom!" Endless karmic fire reappeared, completely suppressing the chaotic and turbulent void.

Whoosh~ Without the slightest hesitation.

"Keep chasing. I want to see what this screaming ape is up to." Following the spatial fluctuations left by the screaming ape, Li Ze also used teleportation to pursue it.

A short time.

The void gradually calmed down.

A dark and gloomy void, with wisps of violent primordial energy drifting by, and spacetime rifts appearing from time to time.

suddenly.

"Boom!" Like a boulder falling into a lake and creating a huge wave, the vast void, which was like a mirror, suddenly shattered.

A vortex of spacetime appeared, and a figure with wings on its back and wielding a battle sword flew out from it—it was the Crying Ape.

"Hoo, through the means I left on Li Ze, I can sense that he has not given up on hunting me down." The Crying Ape was extremely calm: "In order to lure Li Ze, I had to keep clashing with him. The high frequency of the battles left no opportunity for teleportation. It would take some time to reach the Heavenly Annihilation Forest by flying alone."

"But now that he's been chasing me, I can easily teleport in some places to shorten the distance."

"A single teleportation due to a loss of spacetime control can traverse endless distances!"

"With full-speed teleportation, it only takes a few hours or even less to reach Tianmie Forest."

of course.

Even the Crying Ape dared not teleport recklessly in the depths of this primordial space, because the depths of the primordial space were too vast, and there was no telling where a dangerous place that could threaten the life of the Crying Ape might be born.

Even now, facing a life-or-death situation, the Crying Ape only dares to fly a short distance before using teleportation to shorten the journey to places it deems safe.

"Although Li Ze is fast, his understanding of spacetime is not much better than mine. It's almost impossible for him to catch up with me," the ape thought to itself.

"All I need to do is create a spacetime tremor during my teleportation, so that Li Ze can continue to chase me along the spacetime tremor."

Because each teleportation of the Crying Ape causes a spatial tremor, allowing Li Ze, who is chasing after it, to clearly sense the spatial fluctuations and follow them to pursue it, the Crying Ape is not worried about losing track of it. Furthermore, given the current distance between them, Li Ze is no longer able to stop it from launching a direct attack.

"Maintain this pace." Many thoughts flashed through the ape's mind; "Ideally, we can lure him all the way to the Heavenly Annihilation Forest."

"Only in the Heavenly Annihilation Forest will I have a chance for revenge!" The screaming ape moved and teleported once again towards a distant space-time.

The direction of the teleportation was none other than the direction of Tianmie Forest!

A few moments after the screaming ape left.

"Boom!" A figure exuding a massive aura descended, causing the recently calm spacetime to tremble once again.

It was Li Ze who was chasing after the screaming ape, following the fluctuations in spacetime.

"He teleported away again?" Li Ze's eyes were filled with killing intent, which distorted the void. "This screaming ape must have done it on purpose, deliberately leaving behind spacetime fluctuations. He is extremely skilled in spacetime. If I keep chasing him like this, I will never catch up with him."

"Although I have a lot of understanding of space and time, I am no more powerful than this screaming ape, and there is no qualitative difference between us."

Even when powerful beings from the Chaos Origin realm teleport within the infinite Chaos Origin spacetime, they must still adhere to the rules of the Chaos Origin realm.

Their understanding of spacetime determines the power of their spacetime teleportation techniques.

Under normal circumstances, people like Li Ze and Li Yuan, who have thoroughly comprehended the Dao of Time and Space, have already reached the limit of the distance they can teleport in time and space.

However, there won't be a significant difference between them.

Unless one reaches the level of Yuan, comprehends the essence of the Dao of Time and Space, and fully comprehends time and space to another level, one will be able to crush other Hunyuan powerhouses in terms of speed.

Now that the Crying Ape is free from any restraints, it will be extremely difficult for Li Ze to catch up with it.

"Phew~ Although I want to catch up with this screaming ape and find out what it's up to, I can't let my mind wander!"

“When your mind is in turmoil, you are more likely to fall into a trap.” Li Ze thought to himself, “This ape is clearly no match for me, yet it deliberately left traces while fleeing? There are only two possibilities.”

"First, the presence of other powerful individuals gave him confidence, making him confident that even if I caught up with him again, I wouldn't be able to kill him, and that he might even be able to kill me instead."

"Secondly, he might be planning to lure me into some dangerous place. The depths of the Hunyuan Space are too vast, and it's possible that there are extremely dangerous places there."

By analyzing the behavior of the screaming ape, Li Ze roughly understood the reason for the interruption.
Of these two possibilities, the probability of the first one is almost zero, because at Li Ze's current level, he doesn't believe there are any powerful beings deep within the Hunyuan Space who could kill him.

It's highly likely that the second possibility is true.

"However, no matter how dangerous the place is, I refuse to believe that any dangerous place can kill me in my current state. This screaming ape has schemed against me so much, I must kill him!" Li Ze's heart was filled with murderous intent.

Think of this.

boom!
Li Ze immediately used the spacetime teleportation technique again, following the spacetime fluctuations to chase after the screaming ape.

Just as Li Ze was relentlessly pursuing the screaming ape.

At the very edge of the distant and perilous Tianmie Forest, Cang Zu and the others stood in the void, gazing into the distance.

“Li Yuan, you’re temporarily free,” Cang Zu said solemnly from the ancient face on the massive tree trunk. “However, in order to free him, all six of Yan Ling’s men, whom he had taken with him, self-destructed and perished.”

"Damn it!"

"We originally brought them along just in case, but we didn't expect that we would need to use their self-destruction to get the screaming ape out of its predicament so soon."

"How come Li Ze is so powerful? Apart from Yuan, there is probably no other life form in the entire Hunyuan Space that can rival him?"

"With his abilities, can our plan really succeed?" The other figures spoke up, some angry, some shocked, and some hesitant.

"At this point, we have no way out!"

Cang Zu said, "If we give up now, wouldn't Yan Ling and the other six have died in vain!"

"Moreover, although Li Ze's strength is formidable, his greatest weakness is that he does not possess immortality. With the help of the power of those things in the Heavenly Annihilation Forest, we still have a chance to succeed."

Upon hearing this, the others paused for a moment.

a long time.

“Cang is right.” The humanoid figure, pale all over and looking extremely miserable, said in a shrill voice, “At this point, we have no choice but to fight.”

"You don't want to be trapped in the depths of the Chaos Space forever by the fundamental rules of the Chaos Space, do you?"

“Yes, let’s go for it. Since Li Ze is still chasing the Crying Ape, it means our plan has been going smoothly so far.” Another figure said coldly, “According to the Crying Ape’s message, Li Ze clearly intends to kill him and hasn’t noticed our plan at all.”

"No, he might have been aware of it," Cang Zu suddenly interrupted, "It's just that he was too confident in his own strength, believing that there was nowhere in the entire Chaotic Origin Space that could pose a threat to him."

"Since that's the case, let's take advantage of his arrogance, kill him when we see him, and seize the opportunity he possesses!"

"That's right." The humanoid, pale figure roared, "I refuse to believe that even with the five of us working together, plus the preparations in the Heavenly Annihilation Forest, we can't kill him!"

The other figures nodded in agreement.

"Just wait, we will definitely succeed this time." Cang Zu's voice was deep, and after speaking, his gaze turned to the distance again.

That was the direction from which the screaming apes kept teleporting.

Time passed gradually as these figures waited.

suddenly.

"It's coming!" Cang Zu suddenly spoke.

The other figures simultaneously turned their heads, looking towards a void outside the Heavenly Annihilation Forest.

There, the calm spacetime suddenly trembled, and then spacetime twisted into a vortex.

next moment

Call ~
A figure flew out of the vortex; it was the Crying Ape.

"We've finally arrived at the Heavenly Annihilation Forest." The Crying Ape gazed at the shadowy black tree shadows in the endless dark void before it, a hint of excitement flashing in its eyes.

This is the burial place they prepared for Li Ze.

Followed by.

"Miao Yuan."

Cang Zu's voice suddenly rang in the ear of the gibbon: "Go directly into the Heavenly Annihilation Forest and lure Li Ze in. We have already made the arrangements."

"Hmm." The ape nodded slightly, its figure transforming into a streak of light as it plunged into the endless darkness ahead.

And in the instant after the screaming ape disappeared...

With a sudden, uncontrolled tremor, Li Ze's figure abruptly appeared in this void.

"Huh? What's this?" As soon as he appeared, he noticed the endless darkness in front of him, and the faint sense of threat he felt from within it.

"Is this the place that the screaming ape wanted to lure me here?" A strange light flashed in Li Ze's eyes as he faced the complete darkness ahead.

Actually.

Li Ze had seen countless dangerous places and strange sights in the infinite primordial space, so the Tianmie Forest was nothing special to him.

However, the faint sense of threat emanating from Tianmie Forest surprised Li Ze.

With his current strength, any place that could pose a threat to him would likely be a fatal threat to any ordinary Hunyuan Lord! (End of Chapter)
