Devouring the Starry Sky: Giants of Light at the beginning

Chapter 997 All Forces Gather

"Slay the monsters and seize the treasures before the lords do!"

The two lone wolves and the three eternal beings from the Frozen Faction instantly reached an agreement: avoid their sharp edge and seize the treasure first.

As for confronting cultivator lords, they have neither the strength nor the need to do so.

Swish!
Five immortal beings stormed into the battlefield, directly intervening in the formations set up by the lords.

"Finally took action!"

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor was overjoyed to see this. Even though it hadn't actively helped it, this single act had relieved a considerable amount of its pressure.

Especially those immortal beings, whose strength and methods are incomparable to ordinary Primordial Ancestors, are all formidable and cannot be ignored, even the Wind, Thunder and Sea Emperors who are just there to make up the numbers.

The fusion of the highest-level power contained within the five immortal beings is also a huge variable that interferes with the formation maintained by the three Yuans.

Fortunately, the five of them were after the monster Rainbow Dragon and had no intention of supporting the Infinite Serpent Ancestor's side.

"If you want to steal the treasure, you'll have to get past me first!" Lord Wulan chuckled, having been waiting for them all along.

The reason he was arranged to team up with Jin to deal with the monster Rainbow Dragon was to prevent other robberies.

buzzing...

The Blue Lord stood like a city wall in front of the five Primordial Ancestors, while the Gold Lord took the opportunity to engage in a fierce battle with the monster Rainbow Dragon.

Although the five eternal beings were powerful, they were still far from being able to break through Lord Wulan's defenses.

“There’s no need to get entangled with Wulan, just get past it!” Moxu said.

Then, the strange cube of the Demon Ruins began to expand continuously. With a roll, it crashed directly into the city wall in front of it, and the spikes on the cube were deeply embedded in Lord Wulan's body.

Even the seemingly impenetrable defense of the Blue Lord could not withstand the physical attacks of the Demon Ruins.

However, the actual damage that can be caused by the spikes of the cube alone is limited.

The Demon Ruins can be considered a unique and special life form nurtured by the endless primordial space, and every move it makes contains the power of the primordial rules.

Unfortunately, his comprehension was only average, and his strongest attack was actually using his own cube-shaped spikes.

"Haha, as expected of the Demon Ruins!"

Lord Wulan felt his defenses being pierced and immediately became excited.

Those who can pursue such extreme material paths all have a bit of a masochistic mentality. There's no way around it; the best way to improve is to encounter something that can break through their own defenses.

"Wu Lan, be careful, my attacks are actually quite effective against you!" Mo Xu warned.

As a unique life form, the Demon Ruins maintains good relations with various forces. Although they are currently vying for treasure, this does not affect their relationship.

As beings that are immortal and indestructible, this level of conflict has absolutely no impact on them.

Not only in the Demon Ruins, but also in the side where Pu Sheng had a better relationship with the cultivators, but that still didn't prevent him from taking action at this moment.

"Then come on, don't disappoint me, Demon Ruins," Lord Wulan replied, pushing his defenses to the limit.

As soon as he finished speaking, the strange cube-shaped Demon Ruins began to spin, like a sharp spinning top, and rubbed hard against Lord Wulan's body.

zizi...

The sharp corners of the cube in the Demon Ruins are arguably the sharpest material in the endless primordial space. Now that they are spinning, the destructive power they cause is simply astonishing.

However, this move has a major flaw, and it is generally difficult to hit the enemy.

Just then, the Blue Lord released his body to seal off the void in an attempt to stop the enemy, making him a sitting duck who couldn't dodge at all.

Under the attack of the Demon Ruins, even Lord Wulan's incredibly tough body revealed a deep wound, which looked terrifying.

The Demon Ruins directly collided with Lord Wulan, and the other ancestors were not idle either, each using their own methods to try to break through the latter's blockade.

Their goal wasn't to kill the Blue Lord, nor did they even need to break through its defenses; they simply needed to get past it and reach the monster Rainbow Dragon.

The five Primordial Ancestors of Hunyuan differed in strength, but as eternal and indestructible beings, they all possessed astonishing methods, especially in their respective fields of expertise, where they exhibited unique and unparalleled characteristics.

"Jin, hurry up, I can't stop him any longer," Lord Wulan transmitted his voice.

Especially the hermit, with his heaven-defying power of nothingness, even ordinary progenitors would find it difficult to encounter him, making him the complete opposite of Lord Wulan.

"Damn it, this monster is stronger than I thought." Lord Jin was also having a headache. Even though he was good at attacking and had the help of the lord, it was still very difficult to kill someone of the same level.

In contrast, the lords on the other side are making much smoother progress, since they are focusing their main efforts on the Infinite Serpent Ancestor.

They can seize treasures anytime. These lords work together to grab things and have never been afraid of anyone. It's not like they're fighting against each other. Their functionality is just too strong.

However, opportunities to weaken the Infinite Orochi clan are rare, and if we miss this one, it will be difficult to find another.

Of all the naturally formed chaotic life forms, the lords most wanted to eliminate the Infinite Serpent Clan.

Not only because of the leadership of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, but more importantly because of the cooperation with the Infinite World, these Primordial Ancestors could provide support to various places at any time, which seriously hindered the actions of the lords.

The Hunyuan Space is named for its endlessness, making travel a troublesome affair. However, the Infinite Serpent Clan is unique in that they are practically cheat codes in this regard.

Even if they don't compete for the Progenitor Core, the lords still want to weaken the Infinite Serpent Clan first.

With so many Primordial Ancestors in the Primordial Chaos Life Faction, adding one more wouldn't make much difference.

"kill!"

With the assistance and suppression of Lu Yunhe and the other two, Lord Minghuang's lightning spear directly tore through the defenses of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, revealing the Primordial Ancestor within.

A prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat!

Ultimately, the ten Primordial Ancestors could not unify their power with that of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, especially under the watchful eyes of the three lords, including Lu Yunhe, the flaws in their power were too great.

The Lord of the Dark Phoenix tore a hole in the Infinite Serpent Ancestor's defensive system. In an instant, Lu Yunhe, Xingmang, and Yuan used the spacetime rule system they had set up to penetrate this flaw in the form of a pair of giant hands.

"Go away!"

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor was terrified. His black body kept swirling, trying to repair the flaw.

However, the strength of the three lords, Lu Yunhe, Xingmang, and Yuan, is too terrifying. Two of them are the strongest of the Primordial Ancestors, and one is ranked in the top ten. The key is that their Great Daos can complement and cooperate with each other.

Such an incredible combination can only be assembled by the cultivator faction; no other faction can do it.

With the combined efforts of the three lords, any slightest flaw will be magnified infinitely.

The defensive system was torn open, and the three lords, Minghuang, Moman, and Naigu, immediately unleashed their full power again, targeting the ten ordinary Primordial Ancestors. Lord Moman took the lead, transforming into an invisible wave of power that merged into the swarm of snakes. Then, the Primordial Wave Dao erupted, delivering a double blow of matter and soul to the ten Primordial Ancestors.

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor attempted to stop it, transforming into a spatial entity to suppress this wave of power. However, a completely overwhelming spacetime domain directly countered its suppression.

Just then, Lord Minghuang and Lord Naigu also made their move.

However, unlike Lord Moman, the two lords did not target the ten black snakes, but instead each set their sights on one of them.

The lords understood the principle that it is better to cut off one finger than to injure all ten.

After all, given the vitality of the Primordial Ancestor, as long as he didn't die immediately, he would eventually survive.

"kill!"

Lord Minghuang held endless, dazzling golden lightning in his hand, which transformed into a lightning prison that directly covered a large black serpent.

At the same time, the spacetime manipulation power of Lu Yunhe and the other two, in coordination with the attack of Lord Minghuang, locked onto the black serpent, which was like a catfish on a chopping board, unable to even struggle.

"Tenth Brother!"

The many progenitors were immediately filled with shock and anger, especially the ordinary Hunyuan progenitors, whose anger was mixed with deep fear.

It's very simple. The life force of the tenth elder has dissipated, and the primordial ancestor of the Infinite Serpent Clan has died just like that.

The progenitors of the Infinite Serpent clan were emotionally volatile, but the lords were much simpler in their thoughts: to kill as many Chaos Origin beings as possible.

Just as Lord Minghuang took action, Lord Naigu, with the cooperation of other lords, also killed a Primordial Chaos Ancestor.

Then, a pair of giant hands scooped up the two dead serpents and took them away. The Infinite Serpent Ancestor, who was proficient in the power of the void, couldn't even stop them and could only watch helplessly as the enemy took away the corpses of his own kind.

However, at this moment, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor had no time to worry about the corpses. The death of two Primordial Ancestors at once was a devastating blow to the large and powerful Infinite Serpent Clan.

The remaining eight giant serpents must not be killed by the lords.

"Infinite Void!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor opened its blood-red maw and swallowed the other eight Infinite Serpents whole.

"If you want to kill my people, you'll have to get past this first." The Infinite Serpent Ancestor's eyes were bloodshot as it watched its people die so easily; even it found it hard to accept.

At this moment, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor finally understood the pain of those races that had lost their Primordial Ancestors in the previous war.

Thanks to its status as the ancestor of snakes and the unique characteristics of the Infinite Serpent clan, the Infinite Serpent clan suffered very low losses in previous wars.

Whether it's the Primordial Ancestor Realm or the World-Class Primordial Ancestor Realm, the losses are very small. If we only consider the Primordial Ancestor Realm, their strength may even have increased.

Prior to this, the Infinite Serpent Clan had only lost one Primordial Ancestor, but now they had lost two at once, which was indeed hard for the Infinite Serpent Ancestor to accept.

The losses of war fell on their own shoulders, and even the Infinite Serpent Ancestor could no longer remain calm.

“Cultivator…”

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor roared, and the enormous black serpent writhed in the Chaos Space like an angry dragon.

However, the invisible force of spacetime kept it stuck in the mire, unable to get out.

In an instant, the attacks of the six lords slammed into the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, attempting to skin it alive and extract the entire Infinite Serpent from within.

Having finally seized this opportunity, the lords would not be content with merely killing two progenitors of the Infinite Serpent clan.

The six lords, like butchers wielding cleavers, stared fiercely at the large black snake before them.

After a round of attacks, the void turned into nothingness, and the power of chaos also fell into a state of fundamental annihilation. Large swathes of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor's body simply vanished into nothingness.

The attack of the six lords was still too terrifying. Even the combined defense of the nine Primordial Ancestors could not withstand this power.

So far, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor and the Primordial Chaos Ancestor of the Infinite Serpent Clan he led have been doing their best to defend, showing no intention of fighting back.

If they had even the slightest thought of resistance, these ten ordinary Primordial Ancestors would have been dead long ago.

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor, along with ten Primordial Ancestors, were determined to defend themselves. Even if the lords joined forces, they could not kill them all in one move.

Rumble…

The primordial void trembled, and an invisible wave of power permeated the entire world group. Countless source worlds trembled as if they were about to be drawn into the abyss of destruction.

"Lords, it's passed!"

Just then, time and space fell silent, and a multi-clawed beast appeared from within time and space.

"Mother of Time and Space..."

A hint of joy suddenly appeared in the wrathful eyes of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor; the support from the Innate Chaotic Life Force had finally arrived.

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor, who was proficient in the void, and the Mother of Time and Space, who was proficient in time, joined forces, and although they were still no match for the lords, they did manage to establish a connection in the realm of time and space.

Swish!
An absolute sphere was thrown out and placed in front of the many lords.

The First Ancestor!

In the entire boundless primordial space, only this ancestor dared to directly confront the combined forces of numerous lords.

Subsequently, the Progenitor of Fire also landed beside the Progenitor of Infinite Serpents, and the rule domains of the two formed a cycle.

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor, the Mother of Time and Space, the Primordial Ancestor, the Progenitor of Fire, and the four eternal beings of the Primordial Chaos Life Faction have all arrived.

Although only four exist eternally, the mere presence of these four progenitors is enough to deter any force from launching an attack.

After all, a single Primordial Ancestor is enough to leave all the other Primordial Ancestors combined helpless, providing absolute defensive power.

Even if the lords have the advantage in numbers and strength, as long as the Infinite Serpent Ancestor's side is determined to entangle and defend, the lords have no way to stop them.

"It seems we have no choice but to kill the two Primordial Ancestors!" Yuan said regretfully upon seeing this, but a smile still crept onto his face.

Don't be fooled by the fact that nearly ten Hunyuan Ancestors were killed in the last war; that was an exception. Even in war, it's difficult to kill a Hunyuan Ancestor, let alone the ancestor of the Infinite Serpent Clan.

The Infinite Serpent Clan is the core of the naturally formed Chaotic Life Force. Weakening even a fraction of it will have a multiplied impact on the entire force.

Just after the Mother of Time and Space arrived, the other eternal beings followed suit, and the entire battlefield fell silent once again.
