Devouring the Starry Sky: Giants of Light at the beginning

Chapter 887 Sacrificing the Demon God and the Lord of Nightmares
The abyss beyond the Nightmare Realm!
"Why hasn't Blood River come back yet? Could he be up to something?"

"Possibly, but I haven't seen any changes in the Nightmare Realm."

The will of the demon gods was in discussion, and they never thought that a demon god would be trapped in a deep abyss world. They only suspected that the King of the Blood River had been delayed.

The numerous demons were like a pack of hyenas, staring intently at the Nightmare Realm before them, ready to pounce and devour it at the slightest opening.

Subsequently, many demons also sensed the battle aura emanating from the Nightmare Realm, and for a moment they looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Could there be a demon god in the Nightmare Realm as well? How could a battle at the level of a demon god occur?"

The battle between two demon gods, even separated by an entire world, could not conceal its aura.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. The will of the world would not allow a demon god-level outsider to hide among us."

Even so, the world's will is already magnanimous. In some worlds with even stricter rules, they even refuse entry to all outsiders, not even allowing them to get close.

When a demon enters another world, it will definitely cause a great upheaval that cannot be concealed unless there are special means.

"It's possible that Mo Tian used some special methods."

Rather than believing that a demon god might be lurking among them, the demons thought that the Demon God might have some means to unleash attacks comparable to those of a demon god. While the latter was equally difficult, at least such a thing did exist.

"It seems the King of Blood River is in trouble; he's probably caught in a dilemma now."

Some demons laughed out loud. Demon Heaven was able to unleash such power, which meant he could obviously withstand the Blood River for a while.

If they can't take it down in a short time, venturing deep into the heart of another world will be incredibly taxing on the demon god. Should they continue to expend resources, or give up for now?

The former means increased investment, while the latter means that all the initial investment has gone down the drain.

Upon hearing this, many demons laughed out loud. Although they had all suffered losses, it was naturally a happy thing if someone's losses far exceeded theirs.

Seeing others make money is more painful than losing money yourself, and seeing others lose money is also more joyful than making money yourself.

Of course, although they each had their own thoughts, the demons now took the demon heaven in the nightmare seriously, but they didn't think that the Blood River King would die in it.

Swish!
Just then, the Nightmare Realm ahead suddenly changed, seemingly shrouded in an eerie color, becoming somewhat dark and hazy.

"Another accident has occurred."

"What exactly is Blood River doing?"

Upon witnessing this scene, the demon god felt a sudden sense of foreboding. However, no matter how they tried to contact Blood River, they received no response.

……

"Nightmare - The Nineteenth Level of Hell!"

Lu Yunhe waved his hand to mobilize the origin of the world. This power in his hands was a completely different concept from that in the hands of the Nightmare Realm's will.

In an instant, the King of the Blood River was imprisoned by a world-class pagoda.

Then, surges of power rose up, directly tearing the Blood River King to pieces.

"not good!"

The King of Blood River fought back desperately, but at this moment, Lu Yunhe's power was far beyond his ability to contend with.

With the weakening of the soul tools, the Blood River King lost all power to resist in a few moments and became nothing more than pork on the chopping block.

Then came the slaughter of the pig, its body split into eighteen pieces, which fell into the eighteen levels of the Demon Heaven Hell, becoming fuel to supply the tormented demons within.

Offering these demons their bodies with the body of a demon god allows them to survive longer.

The consciousness of the Blood River King was imprisoned in the nineteenth level of the Avici Hell.

That long river of blood transformed into a tangible River Styx, falling into the Nightmare Realm and instantly giving birth to countless demons.

"Who are you?"

The Blood River King's consciousness was imprisoned in the Avici Hell, roaring incessantly at the boundless darkness.

The boundless darkness, like a venomous snake, was slowly devouring his life, filling the Blood River King with a deep-seated fear.

The aura of death emanated from the depths of his heart, and the Blood River King knew that he was most likely doomed.

The one capable of doing all this could not possibly be a demigod-level Abyss Child; even an ordinary demon god couldn't do it.

Countless thoughts arose in the Blood River King's mind, but he received no response, as if he were the only person left in the whole world.

"Lord Demon Heaven, I am willing to surrender. Please, have mercy and spare me!"

The Blood River King wanted to surrender, but no one paid him any attention, which only intensified his fear.

Unseen by the King of the Blood River, invisible forces were amplifying his emotions, drawing him into another perilous situation.

"The first two steps of the ceremony are complete; only this final step remains."

Lu Yunhe looked at the dismembered Blood River King, his gaze sweeping across the entire Nightmare Realm.

The first of the three rituals to become a demon god is to gain the recognition of the origin of the nightmare realm and obtain a status, which I just obtained.

The second step is to control the Nightmare Realm and the origin of the world, which Lu Yunhe also achieved through the Demon Heaven Hell.

As for this final step, it naturally involves communicating with the will of the abyss in the darkness and gaining the recognition of a broader abyss will.

This is actually quite difficult; one must make some substantial contribution to the entire Abyss world.

However, Lu Yunhe naturally didn't need to follow the rules. There was a ready-made Abyss Demon God here, so he could just graft it on. For the strong, there were plenty of ways to bypass these restrictions and rules.

"King of the Blood River, even in your final moments, give it your all. I will not remember you."

The King of Blood River was nothing special; he was just unlucky to have been caught by Lu Yunhe.

boom!
The next moment, the pagoda that imprisoned the King of the Blood River, formed from the nineteenth level of hellish divine magic, instantly burst into flames.

Inside, the Blood River King was horrified to discover that he had completely lost control of his body and soul, and was uncontrollably burning away everything within himself.

"No!"

"I do not want!"

"I still want to become the great Lord of the Abyss, how can I die here like this?"

The King of Blood River roared madly, but the world is material, and no matter how much he roared, it would not bring him any more power, nor would it produce any miracles.

If roaring and hard work were effective, his River of Blood would never have been forged.

Therefore, at this critical moment, the King of Blood River could not change anything and could only become a sacrifice for Lu Yunhe.

Lu Yunhe circled the pagoda where the Blood River King was imprisoned, while all the demons in the Nightmare Realm prayed in the Demon Heaven Hell.

By sacrificing the demonic essence of the Blood River King and the soul power of all the demons in the Nightmare Realm to the Nightmare Realm, the abyssal will of the former was extracted and then grafted onto Lu Yunhe himself.

After all, sacrificing to the Nightmare Realm was, in a sense, sacrificing to him as well. The Blood River King desperately tried to resist, but at this moment he had no choice but to submit.

Having grasped the origin of the world, Lu Yunhe's power underwent another qualitative change.

Most importantly, the King of Blood River actually went to his territory on his own initiative, which was simply courting death.

boom!
The Blood River King was engulfed in flames, but for the entire Nightmare Realm, he was a major culprit.

Demons are treasures from head to toe, and the same is true for the world.

Forget about the sheer size of the divine body; its essence, brimming with personal will and soul, is practically the world's best tonic.

For the world, the greatest investment is in giving birth to life. The unseen consumption is something even the world cannot bear, and sometimes it even requires reincarnation.

However, if one could devour a demon god and digest its essence, it could greatly alleviate the consumption of resources needed to nurture life in the world.

Moreover, the will originating from the Blood River World carried by the King of the Blood River also has an extraordinary effect on the Nightmare Realm.

The world also has the desire and need to devour and destroy each other, and all want to go further. This is a pursuit that no conscious being can stop.

Lu Yunhe fed the Blood River King to the Nightmare Realm, and the mark from the will of the abyss on the latter gradually emerged.

For the Blood River King, this operation was even more painful than killing him, because the stripping of the Abyss Will imprint was tantamount to knocking down his realm and pulling him down from the status of a demon god.

A drop in cultivation level is a nightmare for all cultivators, akin to the collapse of their worldview.

"No...stop..."

The King of Blood River roared in agony, realizing that he was gradually losing his rightful place as a demon god, and that his most important possessions were being stripped away.

"It seems that for cultivators, even the tortures of the eighteen levels of hell are nothing compared to the drop in their cultivation level..."

Lu Yunhe seemed to be deep in thought. He thought about how it would be terrifying if he really became an ordinary person one day, and he would not be able to escape the common fate.

However, it might be better if you really become an ordinary person, since you've already hit rock bottom and can still fool yourself a little.

What's most frightening is being knocked down by one or two realms; that's truly devastating because you realize you've embarked on a dead end.

boom……

As the Blood River King's status was stripped away, Lu Yunhe gradually felt the attention from the Abyss's will and could clearly sense its power.

The next moment, Lu Yunhe's thinking began to rise, as if ascending to a higher dimension and transcending the world, gradually seeing the entire face of the abyss world.

The layered abyss world, like a tumor, continued to expand and became embedded in a larger world. The person was completely adrift and uncertain, with countless thoughts surging in their mind.

However, the Nightmare Realm held him firmly in place like a kite string, preventing him from directly transforming into a Daoist being.

Of course, even without the Nightmare Realm, Lu Yunhe wouldn't have encountered this problem; it was just an abyss world, and he had traversed much wider worlds.

The ceremony is just a qualification; in the end, it all comes down to yourself.

In that overlapping abyss world, hundreds of layers were lit up, and another life force leaped forth from them.

At this moment, the origin of another layer of the abyss world was illuminated by the will of "humans".

"Someone has become a demon god!"

"who is it?"

"That floor is..."

The many demon gods were alarmed. The birth of a new demon god was a major event for the entire Abyss and even the God Realm.

The surge in the number of demons and true gods has not diminished their status and role.

The many demons were alarmed, and Lu Yunhe's will returned to the Nightmare Realm.

During the process of his consciousness leap, his body and soul were also baptized by the dual origins of the Nightmare Realm and the Abyss World, elevating his realm to the level of a demon god.

As his professional level increased, he also gained control of the first level of the Abyss World.

This abyss world is similar to a divine kingdom, but it is slightly inferior because it is backed by the will of the abyss, since a divine kingdom is backed by the Great Dao of Origin.

However, even in his own abyss world, the demon god can still unleash power far exceeding his current level.

Becoming a demon god is arguably the ultimate pursuit of all demons in the abyss world.

However, for Lu Yunhe, it was only equivalent to freeing up a portion of his own power, finally allowing him to unleash his full potential.

There was no other way; cultivation in this world also had its own rules. Lu Yunhe had not yet reached the point of defying the supreme rules, so he could only abide by the rules of cultivation.

However, after becoming a demon god, some things can finally be used.

Although he could contend with a true god when he was a demigod, and even kill one if he planned it, the difference in their realms was indeed too great.

After becoming a demon god, things are different. True gods and supreme gods are ultimately still within the same great realm.

The difference in basic power between a peak Realm Lord and the weakest Immortal is only a hundredfold. Similarly, the difference between a Military Lord Immortal and a King-level Immortal is also only a hundredfold.

Lu Yunhe stretched his body and looked at the consciousness of the Blood River King who was imprisoned.

"Kill me, kill me..."

The Blood River King also noticed Lu Yunhe's gaze and immediately flew into a rage. At this moment, all he wanted was to die, but unfortunately, he couldn't even commit suicide.

"die!"

Lu Yunhe shook his head. After all, he was a demon god. It would be too easy for him to die like this.

It's not quite about recycling waste; the Blood River King still has extremely high value.

"You...have taken a liking to my Blood River World..."

Although the King of Blood River had lost his power, his mind remained intact, and he reacted instantly. However, his anger had already reached its limit and could not be increased any further.

"No, it will soon be my world." Lu Yunhe smiled.

He stole the position bestowed upon him by the will of the abyss from the King of Blood River, but he did not take it all; he still left a part of it within him.

After all, for Lu Yunhe, sacrificing the Blood River King was just a prelude; he had already met all the other conditions for advancement.

"I regret it so much..." The Blood River King was in utter despair. If he were given another chance, he would never go near the Nightmare Realm.

"Haha, it's too late!"

Then Lu Yunhe proclaimed his existence to the demons and gods of the outside world.

"I am the Lord of Nightmares, the King of Hell, the God of Demons!"
