Devouring the Starry Sky: Giants of Light at the beginning

Chapter 940 The Excited Primordial Ancestors
"Life Core?"

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor stared in astonishment at the Source before him, his tone filled with utter surprise.

With his perception of spatial dimensions, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor clearly sensed the materialized primordial core within the source body before him.

That core, radiating a vast and primordial energy, was exactly the same as that of a naturally occurring, primordial life form.

Everything has a core, the origin of the world, the life core of the naturally formed primordial life, and both of these possess a tangible entity.

Because it is a tangible entity, it can be easily breached from the outside.

The core of a cultivator lord is the "Way of Hunyuan," a vague and ethereal thing that has no weaknesses and can leave behind clones to hide from outsiders.

Other eternal beings are all similar, possessing the characteristic of being indestructible.

Because cultivators become eternal beings once they break through, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor didn't react at first, but now he sensed the bright core.

"If cultivator lords have cores, aren't they just like us?"

"As long as we break through his core..."

"Even cultivator lords can be killed..."

"The first cultivator lord to be killed..."

Having been exposed by the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, the other Primordial Ancestors of Chaos also realized what was happening, and for a moment their expressions became somewhat excited.

At the level of the Primordial Ancestor of Hunyuan, they have mastered the highest level of power in the endless Hunyuan, and many things are interconnected, and they can even receive feedback from the Hunyuan space.

The discovery that a cultivator lord could be killed excited many of the Primordial Ancestors.

The Way of Heaven, how much pressure must it put on these Primordial Ancestors to deal with a group of immortal beings?

In every war, they could only watch helplessly as their own men were decimated, and familiar faces left one after another. Even with an overall advantage in strength, they could not hide the pressure in their hearts.

If it weren't for this pressure, the seven lords might not have been able to withstand an enemy ten times their size.

"Kill him!"

"Kill the Source, avenge the fallen progenitor!"

"Cultivator lords are no longer eternal beings..."

Upon discovering that Lord Yuan might be killed, the tense atmosphere that had been somewhat heightened by the appearance of the eighth lord instantly became even more heated, boosting morale even more than the words of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor.

For the progenitor of Hunyuan, although his own life was very important, he sometimes lost his temper.

After such a long war, not a single cultivator lord has died.

Killing a cultivator lord would be the greatest reward for the innate chaotic life force.

If they can kill the Lord Source, the subsequent impact will be even greater than if they completely win the war.

"Haha, Yuan, you really shouldn't have come." The Infinite Serpent Ancestor also noticed the excitement of the camp and burst into laughter.

It never imagined that there would actually be cultivator lords who did not possess the characteristic of immortality.

In an instant, all 107 Primordial Ancestors roared, and their auras resonated together.

The immense and terrifying power, like a supernova explosion, shook the entire endless primordial space, severely intimidating the various factions hiding in the shadows.

The naturally formed Chaotic Origin Life Faction, as the most powerful group in the endless Chaotic Origin space, truly possesses unparalleled strength once united.

"Although there are not many eternal beings born from the primordial chaos, there are indeed too many primordial ancestral beings."

"The cultivator camp is in trouble."

"It seems that this newly awakened Source cultivator will become the first cultivator lord to die."

Secretly, the other Primordial Beings of Chaos were also observing this war, a war that would determine the future of the endless Chaos Space.

The naturally formed, undifferentiated life form won, making it the undisputed leader and absolute overlord, with other factions having to give way to it.

If the cultivators can hold them off, it's essentially a victory, creating a two-way battle for supremacy. But the future will likely belong to the cultivators.

Whether the future will be dominated by one superpower and multiple strong powers, or by two powerful rivals, depends on this war.

As for the other factions, although they are not weak, each of them has inherent flaws. They can maintain their own stability, but they lack the driving force for development.

Although we could gain an advantage from the war at this moment, we have neither the ability nor the desire to influence this war that will determine the future.

These factions are good at maintaining their current positions, but if they want to go out and fight for resources, they can't get the support of the forces within the faction, lacking the cohesion of people from the same source.

……

"Yuan, you need to be careful. They're probably going to target you next."

Even the Primordial Ancestors could see it, let alone the cultivators and lords with higher realms, who had noticed Lu Yunhe's condition immediately.

"I understand, but they're far from being able to kill me," Lu Yunhe said dismissively.

If someone could be easily killed without the ability to be immortal, then the progenitors of the Primordial Chaos Life Force would have been almost entirely dead by now.

In the entire Primordial Chaos Life Faction, there are over a hundred Ancestor-level beings, and only four Eternal beings.

As for one's own condition, in order to gain enough power in a short period of time, one must naturally sacrifice some things.

Moreover, condensing the life core can't really be considered a sacrifice.

In order to acquire the power of the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos as soon as possible and participate in this war, Lu Yunhe had no choice but to imitate the innate Chaos Life form and condense his own life core.

With their naturally formed life cores, naturally born chaotic life forms possess terrifying potential, and can even break through realms by devouring the source world.

As a life core formed later in life, it is very similar in function, and can also devour the source world to grow.

When he is fully condensed, that is when he breaks through to the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos.

To break through to the ninth level of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, one either needs to spend time honing their skills little by little, or one needs to break through their cultivation realm, which in turn drives the breakthrough of the profound technique.

Either it's due to external force helping to activate the ninth stage of this profound technique.

After all, it is essentially an imitation of the source world, and needs to be baptized by the primordial space. In order to break through as soon as possible, it can only devour the origin of the source world and absorb its creation.

In this process, Lu Yunhe devoured a total of eighty-one Origin Worlds before finally gathering the original driving force for his breakthrough, making him the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos.

Although Lu Yunhe had been focusing on comprehending the Origin World and hadn't delved into the Hunyuan Bloodline, his final growth was remarkably similar to that of a naturally born Hunyuan being, which was astonishing, suggesting that their great paths originated from the same source. Although he became the Hunyuan Ancestor rather than the Hunyuan Lord, these two paths were not parallel, and he could still continue to break through.

Considering the timing of the breakthrough, this breakthrough not only had little impact, but actually brought in a huge profit.

Lu Yunhe looked at the core within his body, which radiated a vast and primordial energy. It was both his life core and the origin of his existence. An endless system of rules flowed around the core, representing the highest level of power in the boundless primordial space.

The progenitor of Hunyuan – Yuan Shijie!

"Then you'd better be careful. Yuan, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor and the others have their eyes on you too," the lords transmitted telepathically.

Since they wanted to help Yuan break through to the Progenitor level ahead of time, they couldn't just stand by and watch him perish here.

"Do it!"

Countless thoughts flashed through their minds in an instant, and the Primordial Ancestors of Hunyuan instantly devised a countermeasure, with hundreds of ancestors joining forces once again.

A massive, all-consuming combined attack reappeared in the endless primordial space.

"Block!"

Lu Yunhe and Lord Wu Lan joined forces and also stood in front of the combined attack.

The primordial life core within the body inhaled and exhaled, and the primordial power that had just been consumed quickly recovered.

Combining the core power of the innate primordial life form and the source world, Lu Yunhe's storage of origin is unparalleled in the entire endless primordial space, surpassing even ordinary source worlds, let alone the Primordial Ancestor.

Moreover, Lu Yunhe himself is a cultivator, possessing the realm and will of a cultivator.

The Origin World, inhabited by naturally occurring primordial life forms, and its cultivators, follows three different paths. Although it is only in its early stages, and has just broken through, and does not even possess the characteristic of immortality, it still endows Lu Yunhe with terrifying strength.

Lacking experience the first time, Lu Yunhe quickly adapted to the attacks of the Primordial Ancestor the second time. He adjusted the power of the Great Material Technique and his coordination with Lord Wulan, resulting in even lower energy consumption than the previous time.

With the combined efforts of Lu Yunhe and Lord Wu Lan, the combined attack of hundreds of Hunyuan Ancestors was blocked. Although their bodies were battered and bruised, as long as their primordial life cores were intact, their aura remained undiminished.

"It's blocked again!"

Seeing this, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor's initial excitement gradually subsided, realizing that even if the Source did not possess the characteristic of eternity, killing it would still not be an easy task.

"Hmph, but as long as it's not an eternal existence, the power of hundreds of Primordial Ancestors can definitely obliterate it." The Infinite Serpent Ancestor sneered in his heart and immediately prepared to launch another joint attack, relying on absolute power to completely obliterate the life core of the source.

"Serpent Ancestor, have you forgotten about us? Why don't you try out the moves of us lords?" A voice rang in the ears of the many lords.

After Lu Yunhe and Lord Wulan blocked the combined attack of the ancestors, the other lords were finally able to free up their hands.

Lord Moman was the first to make a move, immediately burning the essence of his main battle avatar and spreading his Hunyuan Dao throughout the entire space-time.

The invisible fluctuations transformed into a series of musical notes, resounding and vibrating in the Hunyuan spacetime, like a beautiful song echoing in the minds of many Hunyuan ancestors.

However, this song was like a death knell for the ancestors of Hunyuan.

The invisible and intangible force of fluctuation is a dual attack on both matter and soul.

Not only can you not dodge it, you can only take it head-on, and it's even a large-scale group attack.

Even at the level of the Primordial Ancestor, there is still a distinction between material and soul attacks, after all, the level of the Origin Dao has also been raised.

Faced with Lord Moman's attack, all the Hunyuan Ancestors became extremely cautious.

If Starburst was the enemy most feared by the Primordial Ancestors because of its absolute strength, then Lord Moman was the one who made all the Primordial Ancestors worry because of his large-scale warfare tactics.

The lords are already highly skilled, making their methods difficult to defend against. And if one specializes in this area...

The attack of the intangible substance accumulated little by little within the bodies of the Primordial Ancestors, until it erupted directly at a critical moment, reaping the lives of the Primordial Ancestors.

In particular, the injuries of the Primordial Ancestors who had not yet fully recovered worsened again in the face of Lord Moman's attack.

"Let your lives also turn into fluctuations," Lord Moman said mockingly, his voice mixed with the fluctuations and carrying a hint of hallucinatory power.

Some of the Primordial Ancestors with weaker mental power even saw many illusions.

Space transformed into musical notes, stirring and tearing at the physical bodies of the Primordial Ancestors, while the invisible sounds also pulled their souls into the illusion.

"You beasts, try my attack too!" Lord Jin's voice rang out at the same time.

The burning primordial power transformed into thirteen black spheres, which flew towards the area where the Primordial Ancestors were located, and then exploded all at once, the explosive power attempting to bring everything around them to destruction.

Boom... Boom...

Thirteen explosions in a row, with destructive power, amplified one force a thousandfold.

Moreover, with the combined power of the starlight and the primordial energy, the destructive explosion and the power of the wave also combined, transforming into a surging tide that wanted to engulf the surrounding Primordial Chaos Ancestor.

The two lords' reckless attacks were also aimed at all the Primordial Ancestors of Chaos.

"For the lives you have taken..."

Golden lightning erupted, as dazzling and brilliant as a star, and as deadly as an arrow.

Lord Jin and Moman chose a wide-range attack, enveloping all the Primordial Ancestors, while Lord Minghuang chose a single-target attack, targeting those Primordial Ancestors who had not yet fully recovered or who showed weaknesses in their attacks.

As a cultivator lord, Minghuang's thunderous attacks are equally unavoidable.

Boom!

A being with deep blue skin entered the battlefield, unleashing a variety of techniques that splashed across the entire battlefield like a kaleidoscope. Sometimes it cooperated with Moman to launch large-scale attacks, and sometimes it cooperated with Minghuang to target a specific ancestor.

Lord Naigu follows the path of the Hunyuan bloodline, so he is not as extreme as the other three lords and his methods are more comprehensive.

Yuan continued to maintain the formation, keeping the attacks from the numerous lords within a controllable range.

Facing the massive Primordial Chaos Ancestor, attacks that are too spread out are completely meaningless; extremely close coordination is essential.

As for Xingmang, the strongest among the Hunyuan Lords, he had already stopped killing the naturally born Hunyuan beings within his territory and concentrated all his power on the main battle.

While fighting against all the progenitors who were proficient in the way of time and space, he was also able to cooperate with Yuan's formation to stabilize the entire situation.

The war of the Star Lords is not on the material battlefield, but extends into the infinite timeline.

Faced with the attack of hundreds of Hunyuan Ancestors, the lords launched a fierce counterattack.
