Master of Devouring Stars

"What? This!"

"He, the traitor, just like that, he perished?"

"What kind of attack was that, Li Ze?" On the battlefield of Tianmie Forest, Cang Zu, Li Yuan, and other powerful figures from the depths of Hunyuan stared intently at Li Ze in the center of the void, and all stopped their rescue attacks.

They were utterly terrified.

This is outrageous.

From the moment Li Ze withstood the attack launched by the Heavenly Annihilation Forest's origin, which was triggered by the Extinction Demon, to his counterattack and killing of the Extinction Demon, it seemed like a long time, but in reality it was only a moment.

To know.

Mie Li's strength is similar to theirs, comparable to the Hunyuan Lord. In fact, because he can draw upon the power beyond Hunyuan in the Tianmie Forest, Mie Li is even slightly stronger than them in terms of attack alone.

Logically, even when facing an attack from multiple Hunyuan lords, they shouldn't have been defeated so easily.

But now, it has fallen in just a few attacks?
“The power of those attacks was far greater than when I first entered the Heavenly Annihilation Forest. He was almost the strongest I’ve ever seen.” Cang Zu murmured, “Could it be that his strength has reached the level above the Hunyuan Lord? Otherwise, even Yuan, who has the peak strength of the Hunyuan Lord in the cultivator camp of the Origin Land, couldn’t do that.”

Cang Zu had never met Yuan, but he had heard of his reputation and knew that he was the strongest person in the Infinite Chaos Space. However, he thought that Yuan could kill a peak expert like Mie Li in an instant.

Even Yuan couldn't do that, right?

Just as the powerful beings deep within the Chaos Origin, such as Cang Zu and Li Yuan, were astonished by Li Ze's strength.

The core of the battlefield.

"To integrate the profound mysteries of the Five Forms of Domination into the Sword Universe and unleash the strongest attack to annihilate a peak expert who doesn't even possess the immortality of a Hunyuan Lord, was so difficult, exhausting the accumulated essence of dozens of primordial stars." Li Ze looked at the gradually calming void, not entirely satisfied.

Sword Universe!
This is the strongest secret technique that Li Ze comprehended in the Ancient Road of Domination. It is extremely powerful. According to Li Ze's judgment, if he uses the full power of his inner universe to unleash this secret technique, he can almost exert the strength of the peak level of the Hunyuan Lord, which is no less than that of Yuan.

After all, this secret technique carries the power of the entire universe within the body.

The secret technique "Sword Universe" may not be as profound as some of the secret techniques created by Yuan, let alone comparable to secret techniques that surpass Hunyuan like "The Five Forms of Domination," but it is the one that best suits Li Ze himself.

Only what fits perfectly is the strongest, and only then can it unleash its greatest power.

In Li Ze's vision, the secret technique "Sword Universe" has extremely high growth potential.

Not only can it accommodate his new inspirations for various applications of the Dao, but even after his inner universe transforms to a higher level in the future, "Sword Universe" can directly transform into an even stronger secret technique.

Just as he envisioned.

After emerging from the Ancient Road of Domination, he first fought and battled with the Crying Ape, and then entered the Heavenly Annihilation Forest where he was besieged by many powerful figures such as Cang Zu and Mie Li.

This extreme pressure led him to gain a deeper understanding of the first move of the "Five Dominator Techniques," "Opening Up," without realizing it, and he fully integrated this understanding into the secret technique "Sword Universe."

“Using the vast primordial energy of the universe within my body to encompass all paths, and integrating these paths using the core framework of the first path of the Five Dominator Techniques, ‘Opening Up,’ I unleash a single, all-out attack.” Li Ze pondered silently, “Yet I still cannot directly kill this Annihilator.”

"Alas, I haven't had enough time to fully comprehend the Five Forms of Domination." Li Ze shook his head slightly, thinking to himself, "Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have expended so much of my source power to kill Mi Li this time."

Then, on a whim, he collected some of the spoils left behind after the fall of the Demon Lord.

The annihilation of the vassal states left behind very few spoils of war, but those that survived the battles between beings of their caliber were themselves extraordinary.

Then, Li Ze turned his gaze to the powerful beings deep within the Chaos Origin, such as Cang Zu and Li Yuan.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The powerful figures, including Cang Zu and Li Yuan, seemed to be completely frightened. They dared not attack Li Ze again and instead flew rapidly backward towards the edge of Tianmie Forest.

"Trying to retreat now? A bit too late." Li Ze sneered, then transformed into a streak of light and pounced on Cang Zu and the others with lightning speed.

The sword light was absolutely dazzling!
"You all go and open the barrier array outside the Heavenly Annihilation Forest. I'll hold him off for a moment." Seeing that Li Ze was much faster than the others, Cang Zu roared and once again waved his many branches.

But this time it was no longer an attack, but a full-scale defense, resisting the sword light unleashed by Li Ze.

"Bang! Bang~"

As numerous branches clashed with Li Ze's sword light, the power of the Dao was unleashed, shattering many branches. The terrifying impact of the battle spread out, and Cang Zu's massive body was directly cleaved and sent flying backward.

However, despite facing Li Ze who wasn't going all out, he didn't suffer any injuries while focusing on defense.

"boom!"

Li Ze pressed his advantage relentlessly, launching a frenzied attack. His longsword whistled through the air, shooting out like beams of light piercing through the void.

at this time.

"go with!"

Li Ze waved his hand lightly, and the Chaos Bell rapidly expanded, then smashed towards Cang Zu along with the sword light.

"what!"

Just as Cang Zu managed to block the sword light in front of him, he saw a thick bronze light rushing towards him. This power was full of destruction and instantly broke through his defenses, smashing into his body.

Click~
Cang Zu seemed to hear the sound of his own body shattering. He felt endless pain surge into his heart, and the old face on his huge body became distorted.

Immediately afterwards, the lower fifth of Cang Zu's massive body was directly struck by the Chaos Bell and broken apart.

"Condense for me!" Cang Zu roared suddenly. His body changed instantly, and endless green light soared into the sky. This green light carried endless vitality, and wherever it passed, the broken and shattered body quickly recovered.

Although he doesn't possess the immortality of the Lord of Hunyuan, his methods of self-preservation are extremely powerful.

"Boom!" The Cang Ancestor, whose whole body was radiating green light, felt the pain from being struck by the Chaos Bell lessen considerably. Streams of life-restoring power surged from every corner of his body, healing all the injuries.

In an instant, Cang Zu recovered completely, his gaze fixed on Li Zeying.

It was as if they wanted to devour Li Zesheng alive.

"Not bad recovery ability, but not enough!" Ignoring the other party's gaze, Li Ze's sword universe trembled slightly, and a sword light flashed, slashing down towards Cang Zu's huge body.

At the same time, the Chaos Bell, which had been thrown out by the impact, turned again and crashed into Cang Zu.

"Damn it!"

"You forced me to use my innate secret technique, and you still want to kill me?" Cang Zu was both anxious and angry. His huge body, which was like a pillar supporting the sky, was now incredibly light and he retreated rapidly.

Even though he had taken a hit from Li Ze earlier, his life force had not changed much thanks to the recovery effect of his innate secret technique.

But he was fast, and Li Ze was even faster.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Sword light from the Sword Universe cleaved through Cang Zu's many branches and vines, while the Chaos Bell repeatedly struck and smashed Cang Zu's body, causing cracks to appear continuously.

However, the green light released by Cang Zu using his innate secret technique seemed endless, continuously repairing his body.

"Phew~ I knew it!"

“These life forms deep within the primordial chaos, although limited by the fundamental rules of the primordial chaos space and unable to break through to the level of a primordial chaos lord, are not weak in their life essence.” Li Ze thought to himself, “In fact, to a certain extent, they are even stronger than the primordial chaos lords and innate primordial chaos life progenitors of the land of origin. Even if they are bombarded by me once, they can recover again and again.”

“Every part of this Cangzu’s body contains a large amount of life force, making it very difficult to kill.”

This is also why, after Li Ze killed Mie Li, he didn't initially use the energy from more than ten primordial stars to unleash the strongest power of the Sword Universe; he only activated the Chaos Bell and the Sword Universe's normal attacks.

He first used a normal attack to verify what trump card the opponent had, and found that the Cangzu's innate secret technique was amazing.

Moreover, when Li Ze killed Mie Li, he consumed the primal power of dozens of primal stars, making his internal universe even more unstable.

If he were to expend even more of the primordial power from the original star, it could very well shake his foundation.

"I've already depleted so much of the primordial power of the universe within me," Li Ze thought to himself. "I simply can't recover in a short time."

Li Ze consumed far too much primal energy this time. The best way to fully recover is to devour the primal energy from the source world again. Otherwise, relying on natural energy absorption to recover would require an incredibly long time.

“Now, even if I expend more of my primal power to unleash the strongest attack of the Sword Universe, I estimate that one or two attacks would only severely injure Cang. He can still recover and continue to escape.” In a flash, Li Ze had already considered many possibilities. “This is only for Cang. Those guys from the Crying Ape will soon be able to dispel the formation and come to his aid. Once they leave the Heavenly Annihilation Forest and escape into the depths of the Chaotic Origin Space, given their understanding of this place, I think the probability of killing him is very low.”

"Never mind, it's just Cang."

"Once I've completed my breakthrough, I'll have plenty of time to kill them." Li Ze was very calm at this moment, unlike his ferocious appearance.

Although it was Cang Zu and Li Yuan who took the initiative to surround and kill Li Ze in this battle, Li Ze himself did not suffer much loss. Rather than risking the crisis of internal cosmic turbulence to forcibly kill the opponent, it would be better to deal with it slowly in the future.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Li Ze relentlessly attacked Cang Zu, forcing Cang Zu to flee in disarray.

finally.

After the two sides fought for a while longer,

"Buzz!"

In the distance, the light curtain that had enveloped the entire Tianmie Forest dimmed and disappeared.

"Cangzu, retreat!"

"Cang, you can leave now!"

"Hurry up!" The voices of the powerful beings from the depths of the Chaos Origin, including the Crying Ape, came from the edge of the Heavenly Annihilation Forest.

Upon hearing this, Cang Zu glanced at Li Ze and roared angrily, "Li Ze, I told you, you can't kill me."

"Hahaha, if you've got the guts, don't run away!" Li Ze laughed loudly as he heard the other party's stubborn roar.

Buzz~ Swoosh!
Amidst Li Ze's laughter, Cang's massive body rippled with endless spatial and temporal fluctuations. Then, as if teleporting, it headed towards the edge of the Heavenly Annihilation Forest, eventually joining up with the powerful Li Yuan and others. They entered the dark and vast Chaos Origin Space and quickly disappeared from Li Ze's sight.

"They really escaped quickly." Li Ze shook his head slightly and stopped, no longer pursuing them.

"It's time to go back and restore the power of the universe's origin within my body as soon as possible."

Thinking.

call!
Li Ze transformed into a streak of light, leaving Tianmie Forest and disappearing into the endless primordial energy flow.

……

The vast amount of primordial energy diffuses in the void.

"Li Ze isn't chasing us anymore?" Several powerful figures from the depths of Hunyuan, including Cang Zu and Li Yuan, stopped in their tracks, sensing that Li Ze had not pursued them.

“That’s it.” The gibbon seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, “He must have paid a great price to kill the Destroyer, which is why he didn’t chase after us.”

"It's possible."

"Should we launch a surprise attack?" the other experts asked.

"never mind."

Cang Zu said, "There are too many strange things about Li Ze. His strength seems to have no end. He didn't chase after us. Although it's possible that, as the Li Yuan said, he's at his last gasp, we can't gamble on it."

Hear the words.

Thinking of the terrifying strength Li Ze had just unleashed, Li Yuan and the other powerful figures felt a chill in their hearts, and immediately abandoned their idea of ​​turning around to surround and kill Li Ze again.

"Alas, we paid such a high price for this siege, yet gained nothing, and now we'll be targeted by Li Ze!" Cang Zu sighed, "What a huge loss!"

The other powerful figures, including Li Yuan, nodded repeatedly with solemn expressions. Although they hadn't perished like Mie Li, they had lost many junior members in their efforts to lure Li Ze into the Heavenly Annihilation Forest.
Such a huge loss would be fine if they had successfully surrounded and killed Li Ze, but the key problem is that they have not yet succeeded in surrounding and killing him, and instead they will be held a grudge by him. Who knows when he might retaliate? This is naturally a great loss for them.

“Let’s go back and relocate to our ancestral land,” Cang Zu said in a deep voice. “Based on the intelligence we’ve gathered, those Hunyuan lords in the cultivator camp are all vengeful and vindictive. They might already be on their way when we surround and kill Li Ze. If they find us, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

If Li Ze is already this troublesome, then if we add the Hunyuan lords from the cultivator camp, they might all perish if they are surrounded.

"it is good."

“We’ll go back and move now,” said the other powerful figures, including the Crying Ape.

suddenly.

"Hmm? A dragon lizard from the innate Hunyuan life camp is contacting me through a token it left with me before?" Cang Zu's pupils shrank slightly as he took out a crystal-like token.

An invisible wave spread out from the object, followed by a large amount of light converging, and a phantom appeared.

It is the progenitor of the dragon lizard, a being born from the chaotic origin of life.

"Dragon Lizard, why did you suddenly contact me?" Cang Zu looked at the phantom of the Dragon Lizard Ancestor and said in a deep voice.

"Cang, and everyone else," the Dragon Lizard Ancestor said with a faint smile, "How was it? Li Ze's strength far exceeded your expectations, didn't it?"

"I contacted you today because I want to cooperate with you to jointly kill Li Ze!" (End of Chapter)
