Devouring the Starry Sky: Giants of Light at the beginning

Chapter 871 The Illusory Dragon
"what?"

When her first attack failed, a hint of surprise instantly appeared on the Flower Goddess's usually expressionless and delicate face.

Both were demigods, and the Flower Goddess never intended to defeat her in one move.

But even the Goddess of Flowers was surprised that her proud attack was so easily neutralized.

"That's right. If the other party is just an ordinary demigod, even if I devour him, I probably won't be able to gather the foundation to become a true god," the Flower Goddess thought to herself.

The goddess of flowers was originally just an ordinary demigod, but she was able to establish a vast kingdom, which shows she was quite powerful.

However, after the Flower Goddess killed the divine beast demigod Minghuan, her foundation greatly increased, and she rose to the top level among demigods, completely widening the gap between herself and other demigods.

In a one-on-one situation, he has the strength to kill any other ordinary demigod.

If she could devour the divine beast enemy before her, it would be enough for her to reach the peak of demigodhood and fight for the position of true god.

The only difference between demigods and true gods seems to be the divine office they hold, but only by delving deeper can one understand the vast chasm between them.

"As long as the opponent is powerful enough, both the process of killing him and the result of devouring him can become part of the path to true godhood."

The Flower Goddess clearly understood that the final link in the foundation of the true god was naturally the most difficult one.

"But I'm not fighting alone!"

The goddess of flowers stood in mid-air, her giant scythe gliding gently across the sky.

Blah blah blah...

Instantly, the enormous flowers, plants, and trees below all blossomed, and a massive amount of primordial power surged towards the sky garden above like a raging flood.

The tangible pressure of energy caused the surrounding world to freeze.

The goddess of flowers gripped her sickle tightly, the sharp blade adding a touch of weight to her presence.

"This is my kingdom!" The Flower Goddess's gaze was sharp as a knife. This time, the enemy was powerful, and if it were in another place, she really wouldn't have much confidence.

But the other party had no choice but to come directly to his capital, giving her this opportunity.

The power a demigod can unleash in their own stronghold is not comparable to the power they can exert in the outside world.

"go with!"

With a wave of her left hand, the Flower Goddess unleashed a beam of light from the floating aerial garden, which pressed down on Lu Yunhe.

boom…

Lu Yunhe felt a sudden heaviness all over his body, as if the whole world had pressed down on him.

It not only possesses the infinite weight of the world, but also an unwavering will to live.

"Goddess of Flowers, you must win!"

"go to hell!"

……

With Lu Yunhe's keen senses, he could faintly hear the shouts of countless professionals. At this moment, the Flower Goddess was not fighting alone.

"very good!"

Lu Yunhe twisted his body, which immediately produced a series of crackling sounds.

"Imagination Manifestation, Five Sacred Mountains Spirit-Suppressing Blade, Immortal-Slaying Heaven-Slaying Sword!"

Suddenly, a knife and a sword appeared in Lu Yunhe's hands, and his aura changed abruptly.

Because his advancement was progressing too quickly, Lu Yunhe, despite being a master weapon refiner, has yet to refine any supreme treasures or divine weapons for himself, leaving him with virtually no stockpiles.

If the treasures he refines cannot keep up with his cultivation level, then it is better to put them aside for the time being.

However, after he took up a position in the legendary realm of the Dream Path, things improved somewhat, as the power of a Dream Mage was enough to turn illusion into reality.

If one wants to materialize a true divine weapon, the consumption is indeed quite large. Not to mention the legendary realm, even after becoming a true god, one cannot withstand it.

But if it's the manifestation of fantasy, the manifestation of a dreamlike projection, then it's much simpler.

The exact structure of each divine weapon was in Lu Yunhe's mind, especially those divine weapons he had personally forged.

"Legendary level!"

Lu Yunhe gripped a knife and a sword, and the familiar power surged into his heart once more.

The Five Sacred Mountains Spirit-Suppressing Blade and the Immortal-Slaying Heaven-Severing Sword are both divine weapons whose original level is low-grade Chaos Origin level. Naturally, their mere Legendary Realm origin cannot support their complete manifestation.

Therefore, the two divine weapon projections that appeared were only legendary level, not high level, but that depends on who used them.

when!
Lu Yunhe's sword and saber clashed, and a chaotic burst of light instantly rushed towards the power attack that descended from the sky.

"break!"

Lu Yunhe took a step forward, and the combined attack of his sword and saber tore apart the energy beam.

Having gathered the power of the entire Garden Kingdom capital and amplified by the array, this attack was undoubtedly at the demigod level.

However, it was still incredibly fragile in Lu Yunhe's hands, and he easily saw through its flaws.

Tear!

The light from the swords practically tore apart the pillar of light, and even had enough energy to fly towards the sky garden above.

The sharp glint of the blade struck the Hanging Gardens, causing the entire capital to tremble slightly.

For cultivators, it is common to be able to fight against an entire nation by themselves.

"Dream Travel!"

Then, to the Flower Goddess's astonishment, Lu Yunhe's figure flashed, instantly traversing space and rushing to her side.

The reason why the Flower Goddess was surprised was that she was unable to catch the other person's movements.

But before she could think, the enemy's attack was already upon her.

Dang Dang Dang!
The clash between the massive scythe and the swords meant that conventional martial arts were meaningless to a demigod-level being, who could encompass all possibilities in the blink of an eye.

The two sides are competing in their understanding of the laws, the great principles, and the world.

Swords and scythes have no significance in terms of weapon form, but their interpretation of the world's rules restricts the Flower Goddess in every way, making her somewhat flustered.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth, the laws of the world—their attacks collided and clashed around these rules, like threads threaded together.

In the material world, the divine weapon of the Fantasy Greatsword clashed with a demigod-level treasure, and the two fought fiercely.

Meanwhile, in the realm of consciousness, the Flower Goddess and Lu Yunhe continue their constant clashes, which involve soul consciousness and are extremely dangerous.

The Flower Goddess is an expert in the ways of dream destruction, constantly leading Lu Yunhe's thoughts and consciousness toward annihilation.

If one can bring a person's consciousness into complete annihilation, it is, in a sense, equivalent to killing them directly.

The purple scythe of death sought to pluck Lu Yunhe's consciousness from his soul.

However, Lu Yunhe's soul instantly split into 100,000 parts, each representing a different aspect of consciousness.

The purple scythe of death swept across, taking away strands of consciousness and annihilating them.

However, the 100,000 consciousnesses formed an extremely intricate soul structure diagram, and any consciousness that was lost was immediately replenished.

The 100,000 souls remained unchanged, eternally indestructible like the very origin of the world. Having only vaguely sensed this scene, the Flower Goddess was instantly stunned, her mind reeling. Could a demigod truly accomplish this?
Are there really such big differences between demigods and mythical beasts?

"No wonder he dared to come to my country alone. Is this what gives him his confidence?"

The Flower Goddess subconsciously pursed her lips, feeling an immense pressure wash over her.

However, it is probably for this reason that the Flower Goddess fought her to the death, because she still had a chance of winning in her territory.

If they were to meet outside and a real fight broke out, the Flower Goddess might choose to run away.

If a top-tier demigod wants to escape, it would probably require the intervention of a true god.

"Take another move from me!"

The flower goddess's sickle, as round as the moon, drew a perfect full moon in mid-air.

The purple halo around the edge of the full moon exuded a terrifying aura.

As fellow practitioners of the Dream World, the Flower Goddess still sensed something from her battle with the other party—something that she found unbelievable yet greatly boosted her confidence.

"Dream shattered!"

"Dream Killer!"

"dream!"

The Flower Goddess unleashed several strikes in succession, pushing her self-created secret techniques to their limits. Every move revealed the pinnacle of her original professional path.

These moves, if used in the astral realm, could even be enough to bring a vast universe to its demise.

At the same time, the sky garden above began to spin like a top, and the endless energy gravity acted on the space around Lu Yunhe, exerting the effect of a supreme domain treasure.

The bearers of this treasure are naturally the professionals within the kingdom, each one like a screw embedded in the kingdom's flowers, plants, and trees, driving the great array that protects the kingdom.

The collective consciousness of countless professionals brought almost the entire Hanging Gardens to life.

Gold-level, Legendary, and Immortal-level professionals are all releasing and circulating their own source power, hoping to contribute to the Flower Goddess.

"With united will, we stand together!"

The Flower Goddess, with a heart and will as clear as crystal, carrying the power of the professionals within the kingdom, fiercely swung her weapon at Lu Yunhe once more.

The Hanging Gardens descended with endless radiance, falling upon the goddess of flowers and adding a golden robe to her garment.

"Not bad!"

Seeing this, Lu Yunhe nodded slightly. Although the strength of the professionals in the capital was weak, they could still bring a great boost to the demigods after leveraging the energy of heaven and earth with their mental will.

The level of skill and the depth of one's origin cannot fully explain the true power of a professional.

"Reality is also a dream, and dreams are like bubbles!"

Lu Yunhe held a knife and a sword, his figure leaping continuously in mid-air.

It is not a spatial jump, but a constant traversal between lower and higher dimensions.

Under the suppression of the Sky Garden, ordinary space travel is ineffective.

Although traveling between lower and higher dimensions is also a kind of spatial jump in some respects, there are still some differences in essence.

call out!
The Flower Goddess unleashed a slash, but Lu Yunhe leaped into a lower-dimensional world, dodging the attack. He then reappeared in the real world and returned the slash to the Flower Goddess.

"You've created a half-dimensional world!"

The Flower Goddess was completely overwhelmed by Lu Yunhe, and even with the help of the entire capital, she still didn't gain any advantage.

However, although it was suppressed, it did not hinder the Flower Goddess's knowledge, or rather, Lu Yunhe did not unleash a power that even a demigod would find difficult to comprehend.

The soul consciousness is divided into 100,000 parts, which is essentially just imitating the operation of the world, while the legendary realm can open up small worlds.

In essence, the low-dimensional leap was merely the creation of a half-dimensional world, which was dependent on itself.

The so-called dimensional reduction is, to a large extent, just compressing its own existence.

Therefore, the Flower Goddess can also understand the enemy's moves, but understanding does not mean she can find the weakness.

The other party's realm was higher than hers, and her every move seemed to be within the other party's prediction range.

The Flower Goddess was under immense pressure and clearly could not continue like this.

At the very beginning of the battle, the Flower Goddess was forced to use her trump cards.

"I will be the final victor!" The Flower Goddess's resolve was unwavering; a professional who had reached this stage naturally had no issues with willpower.

No matter how insurmountable the difficulties and obstacles, you must overcome them with your own willpower.

"Hand of God!"

With a wave of her hand, the Flower Goddess instantly raised her true spirit to an immeasurable height, mobilizing the power of the entire capital from a superior position.

boom!
Pure and incomparable energy, carrying the power to obliterate everything and annihilate even the very source.

A mere half-dimensional space, once discovered, cannot withstand even the slightest impact, although the latter might instantly create countless half-dimensional worlds.

"Dreams arise and dreams cease!"

The Flower Goddess swung her enormous scythe in the opposite direction towards the Hanging Gardens in the sky, and instantly, legendary and mythical warriors of varying strengths emerged from the dreamlike void and charged towards the enemy.

At the same time, the floating sky gardens above, like a virtual universe, combined the consciousness of professionals in the capital with these virtual creations.

Although these dream-like professionals are weak, they are still easily defeated by demigods.

However, after being imbued with the true will of the professionals within the capital, it seemed to exist in a real way for a short period of time.

Although their strength is insufficient, every professional possesses infinite potential hidden in the dark, an incredible miracle of the soul and mind.

Many ants can kill an elephant; although there is a great difference in strength between the two, they are on the same level in terms of their own strength.

"Imagination materialization!"

Seeing the professionals rushing towards him like a flood, Lu Yunhe's heart stirred, and in an instant he responded with countless projections of divine weapons.

His individual potential is greater than that of all the professionals in this capital city combined.

The Flower Goddess knew that this technique wouldn't be effective against the formidable enemy before her, but it could buy her some time.

"Although this secret technique is not yet complete, we can't worry about that now."

The Flower Goddess hesitated for a moment, but then she cut off that hesitation. In a life-or-death battle, she had no scruples.

The next moment, the Flower Goddess gripped her scythe and slashed fiercely at the void in front of her, opening a rift leading to the underworld.

"Come forth, Netherworld Dragon!"

Roar!
A tremendous dragon roar resounded, echoing throughout the heavens and earth, causing the surrounding void to tremble.

Then a giant dragon with a purplish body and numerous wounds emerged from the rift, exuding an aura of demigod level.

"Now it's two against one, no, it's three against one." The Flower Goddess stood at the dragon's feet, coldly looking at the enemy before her.

Aside from her and the dragon, the entire capital city can be considered a demigod-level power.
