Devouring the Starry Sky: Giants of Light at the beginning

Chapter 953 Clash with the Ancestor of Heavenly Light
"roll!"

Lu Yunhe looked at the light that covered half of the world cluster. His primal power stirred slightly, and a wave of void swept across, trying to blow away the light.

However, that faint light was actually transformed from the Heavenly Ancestor himself, which easily blocked the attack from a distance.

"Cultivators, you are too domineering!"

Having been humiliated mercilessly by Lu Yunhe, the Heavenly Light Ancestor felt utterly humiliated.

Although it is not ranked in the Eternal Land, it is still a being at the highest level in the endless primordial space and does not need to bow down to anyone.

"overbearing!"

Lu Yunhe scoffed. You've openly occupied their territory, and now that they want it back, you're accusing them of being domineering. What a strange situation.

“Tian Guang, I asked you to leave before, but you refused. Now that I have come in person, you still refuse to leave. It seems you are determined to oppose our cultivator camp.”

His personal visit was already a sign of respect for these Primordial Ancestors. If it were a truly domineering Lord Jin or Lord Minghuang, it wouldn't be so easily resolved with a simple "leave."

These primordial ancestors, despite possessing the highest level of power, were psychologically no different from normal people; they couldn't see the situation clearly or grasp the weight of their own destiny.

Even when faced with the entire innate chaotic life force, the cultivators were unwilling to yield an inch, preferring to turn their territory into ruins rather than voluntarily cede it.

Why would someone think they should cede territory to a mere few ancestors of the Hunyuan clan?

Sensing the humiliation and decisiveness in Lu Yunhe's tone, Lord Tianguang, who had originally had a kind face, instantly turned cold.

“Lord Yuan, I only occupied a mere five world clusters because I gave you lords face. Since you don’t give my Three Kingdoms territory any face at all, then don’t blame me for being impolite.”

The voice of the Primordial Ancestor of Heavenly Light reverberated through the void: "Although I am no match for your cultivator camp, one can only be a thief for a thousand days, not a thief for a thousand days."

"If I keep targeting your cultivator territory and continuously annihilate life forms from the source world, what can you do to me?"

The Heavenly Ancestor sneered, "Maintaining such a vast territory naturally has its weaknesses."

If a Primordial Ancestor were shameless enough to directly attack the cultivators within the Origin World, it wouldn't take long for him to wipe out all the cultivators in an entire world group.

Not only that, but even ordinary cultivators at the Hunyuan level cannot escape.

Even with numerous clones, and even with clones residing in mysterious places, the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos still had many ways to deal with beings below the level of the Primordial Ancestor.

The erosion of a single highest-level power is aimed at all Chaos Origin life forms; even clones cannot escape it.

As for the threat from cultivator lords, as the progenitor of Hunyuan, who doesn't have a few ways to save their life?

Every Primordial Ancestor possesses the highest level of power. Even if their talent is not high, it is still at the level of an Ancestor, so it is not difficult for them to comprehend some life-saving methods.

As long as it doesn't lose its mind and try to fight the entire cultivator lineup by itself, and as long as it doesn't try to confront them head-on, even the strongest Star Lord can't kill it.

With such strength, the Heavenly Light Ancestor dared to take this opportunity to invade the cultivators' territory, and was even unwilling to leave.

"So you knew you were a thief after all!" Lu Yunhe laughed. "Stop pretending. You should have said so earlier. Why bother with this fake act?"

"If you've set your sights on our cultivators' territory and the treasures within it, just say so."

"As long as you defeat us, you can take as much territory as you want."

Lu Yunhe scoffed and launched a direct and fierce attack, unleashing the Three Thousand Great Dao Rules system to form a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky.

A vast amount of primordial energy operates within it, sealing off time, space, destiny, cause and effect...

With a single palm strike, the power of the rule system penetrated deep into the void, growing ever larger, eventually covering a significant portion of the world cluster, like a canopy shrouding the light shield below.

Previously, when they clashed with the innate chaotic life force, all of them were at the highest level of power. Ordinary moves that got involved were like a ripple, unable to cause any significant waves.

Even lords must burn their own primal power to unleash an impactful attack in a localized area.

At that time, Lu Yunhe could only be decisive when he unleashed his primal power, besides assisting the various lords and cooperating with them.

However, nowadays, the ability to survive only represents the ability to protect oneself, not the ability to be powerful.

Although he was spontaneously brought to the level of the Primordial Ancestor by the three thousand Great Daos within his body, he was a cultivator in his own right.

"Destroy!"

With a wave of his hand, Lu Yunhe locked onto every ray of light on the world cluster. From time to space, the power of the rule system penetrated into every spacetime, leaving no stone unturned.

"what?"

The Heavenly Light Ancestor's expression changed. It thought that Lord Source would be more cautious in his actions because he did not have the ability to be immortal, but it did not expect that he would actually make a move in his true form.

Even if other lords arrived at the fastest speed, it would still take them a considerable amount of time to reach the vast territory of cultivators.

"Isn't he afraid of being surrounded and killed by the Infinite Serpent Ancestors?" Ancestor Tianguang cursed inwardly, and hurriedly used his own source power to resist the power that was falling from the sky.

"A sliver of light in the sky!"

The interconnected world of light rippled like the ocean before suddenly coalescing into a single line.

The terrifying power of light combined to form a thick pillar of light, which then transformed into a thin beam of light that swept across the giant hand above.

Tear!

The giant hand of rules that Lu Yunhe condensed was instantly split in two from the middle, turning into two halves.

That attack, compressed to its extreme by the power of light, gave one the feeling that even the very rules of the universe were being severed.

Its terrifying cutting power would probably require Lu Yunhe to use defensive techniques to block it.

However, upon seeing the attack from the Heavenly Ancestor, Lu Yunhe revealed a strange expression.

"It's actually the real body. I thought it was just a clone."

As a naturally born primordial life form, and not an immortal being, the Primordial Ancestor of Heavenly Light naturally also possessed a life core.

If the clone does not carry a life core, the strength it can exert is generally difficult to exceed 30% of its own power.

With this amount of power, they could easily defeat Lu Yunhe, the Lord of Hunyuan.

As a result, his attack was easily blocked by the Primordial Ancestor of Heavenly Light, which meant that the Primordial Ancestor of Heavenly Light had also brought his life core.

For beings born with a primordial nature, a body with a life core can be considered their true form.

"Isn't he afraid?"

Lu Yunhe's expression was strange. Quite a few Primordial Ancestors of Hunyuan had died at the hands of the cultivators. In the battle that had just ended, even the famous Giant God Emperor had died.

An ordinary Hunyuan Ancestor, who is not even an immortal being, dares to come here in his true form. Isn't he afraid that several Hunyuan Lords will come at once?

Not many are needed, just two or three Hunyuan Lords, and the Heavenly Light Ancestor won't even be able to escape.

"It seems that the Heavenly Light Ancestor really wants the treasures nurtured here," Lu Yunhe chuckled.

"This is troublesome!" Compared to Lu Yunhe, who was relieved, the Heavenly Light Ancestor's feelings were much more complicated.

Originally, I just wanted to wait here for the treasure to take shape, but I didn't expect the cultivator lord to arrive so quickly, and in his real form at that.

"Damn it, this treasure was just one step away from being completed."

The Primordial Ancestor of Heavenly Light was very upset. He had spent so much time on it, and if he could just let it leave like this, all his previous investment would be wasted. The cost of silence was too high.

"Very good, very good. Since you've come in your true form, then don't blame me for being impolite."

Lu Yunhe was very excited. He was finally able to fight the normal Hunyuan Ancestor one-on-one. He also wanted to know exactly how strong he was under normal circumstances.

The old-school founder of Hunyuan right in front of him is the perfect touchstone for him.

"The Three Thousand Great Daos - Great Void Technique!"

Lu Yunhe gave a soft shout, and the energy palm that had been split in two by the Heavenly Light Ancestor instantly transformed into two giant palms, which then slammed together against the light shield inside.

hum!
The greatest sound is silent; the invisible vibrations and tremors, amplified by the void, instantly spread outwards.

The Primordial Ancestor of Hunyuan attacked without restraint, and the range of his attacks was terrifying.

Although a world cluster is incredibly vast, the being that possesses the highest level of power can even directly extend its power to cover the entire world cluster.

Of course, the actual effectiveness of such a large-scale attack is another matter entirely.

A pair of enormous, sky-covering hands appeared, attempting to forcibly pull out the light barrier below.

"Does this new lord really intend to go to such extremes?"

When the Primordial Ancestor of Heavenly Light came to his senses, he was extremely angry, but he also realized that his body was about to give way.

In an instant, endless light condensed and transformed into a tall, half-giant, with an upper body resembling a human and a lower body entirely composed of energy.

As the Primordial Ancestor of Heavenly Light condensed into a complete form, its original size, comparable to half a world cluster, suddenly transformed into a true form that was even smaller than the original world.

Having lost its large-scale target, the two hands that had covered nearly half the world instantly clasped together and then vanished without a trace in an instant.

The Origin World beneath that giant palm remained completely unaffected by such an attack, a testament to the cultivator's unparalleled control.

Lu Yunhe, who had forced out the true form of the Heavenly Light Ancestor, no longer looked at the angry Ancestor, but instead focused his gaze on a gray mass of gas in the center of the world cluster.

A hazy, gray mass of energy, resembling the original form of the primordial world, contained within it two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine beads emanating an primordial aura.

Even as the Lord of Hunyuan, one could sense the extraordinary nature of this treasure.

"The Heavenly Ancestor was after this treasure!" Lu Yunhe's lips curled up. Since it was born in his territory, it was his.

Seeing the treasure exposed, the Heavenly Light Ancestor, who was full of anger, also showed some discomfort.

"Just a little bit more, my precious treasure that I've nurtured with such care!"

Upon discovering this treasure, the Celestial Ancestor did not hesitate to occupy this world cluster.

Unfortunately, this treasure has not yet taken shape; it is still in the process of being conceived.

Because it was uncertain how long the battle between the two factions would last, the Primordial Ancestor of Hunyuan took the initiative to help with the gestation.

He directly released his own body, drawing upon the primordial power of the entire world to help this treasure take shape.

Under the manipulation of the Primordial Ancestor of Heavenly Light, only one step remained before the treasure was finally completed. Originally, there was plenty of time, but unexpectedly, the battle between the two camps ended so quickly.

Caught off guard, the Primordial Ancestor of Heavenly Light could only try to negotiate with the cultivators to buy some more time.

However, the cultivator lords were equally domineering, giving the Heavenly Light Ancestor no chance to delay. If he did not withdraw, the lords would come directly to his door.

If they still don't leave, then all eight lords will come to their door together.

Now that the lord has come in person, the treasure can no longer be hidden, leaving the Heavenly Light Ancestor in a dilemma.

"Is it just for this?"

Lu Yunhe stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the Heavenly Light Ancestor in front of him with disdain.

"Tian Guang, considering you helped my cultivator camp cultivate treasures, I'll let your act of aggression slide. Compensate me with three more treasures of equal value, and then get lost!"

"source!"

Upon hearing such humiliating words, the previously conflicted Ancestor of Heavenly Light could no longer contain himself and roared:
"Yuan, this is going too far! Do you think you're the Star Lord or the Primal Lord?"

"A mere newly promoted lord!"

As a long-established founder of the Hunyuan lineage, when has Tianguang ever suffered such humiliation?

For such powerful beings, face is of utmost importance. Once they back down, they will likely be humiliated at will by other progenitors.

Anger affected his emotions, and the Heavenly Light Ancestor, who was still somewhat conflicted, suddenly disregarded everything and launched an attack on Lu Yunhe.

"Yuan, without the help of other lords, let's see what strength you have left?"

While attacking, the Heavenly Ancestor provoked, though he was furious, he also had his own ulterior motives.

Since that's what it says, it's unlikely that the source would seek help from other lords, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

“Tian Guang, I’m making the decision today. If you can defeat me, then I’ll let you take this treasure,” Lu Yunhe sneered.

"Fine, I hope you won't regret it!" Ancestor Tianguang laughed angrily. He who had originally wanted to leave something behind suddenly became impolite.

"I said, 'Let there be light...'"

The Primordial Ancestor of Heavenly Light made his move, immediately mobilizing the highest level of power he possessed.

In an instant, everything around us—time, space, matter, and even life itself—transformed into light…

"What a wondrous Dao! It's completely different from the Endless Ancestor!"

Lu Yunhe looked down at his body, and wisps of light seeped out from it.

Not only the body, but even the soul, and even the illusory mind, all want to transform into light.

According to the records of the cultivators, the Primordial Ancestor of Heavenly Light once used his power remotely on a source world. With a single word, all the life within it transformed into a beam of light that broke through the world barrier and merged into the Primordial Ancestor's body.

Moreover, all life forms within the infinite timeline of the Source World also transformed into light and departed from the world.

Finally, the Source World could not withstand such exploitation and collapsed completely.
