The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

The crimson giant hand and the energy tentacles collided violently in the vacuum of space, unleashing a dazzling brilliance like a nuclear explosion.

Although there was no sound, as if watching a silent play, the dazzling light still dazzled and amazed the girls watching from the spaceship's porthole.

After the collision, the crimson giant hand seized the energy tendrils. Countless blood shadows flew out from the crimson giant hand and attached themselves to the energy tendrils, gnawing at them like ants devouring an elephant. No matter how the energy tendrils trembled and shook, or even emitted energy shockwaves like miniature nuclear explosions, they could not get rid of the ever-increasing number of ferocious blood shadows.

The greatest strength of the Blood Sea Formation lies in its ability to sustain itself through warfare.

Aside from the fact that eroding inorganic matter is a losing proposition, the Blood Sea Array can devour and plunder other life forms, consciousnesses, and energy bodies, turning flesh, souls, and energy into its own, becoming stronger with each battle.

Under the erosion and plunder of the crimson giant hand and endless blood shadows, the huge energy tentacles shrank rapidly, becoming much smaller in the blink of an eye.

The crimson giant hand expanded, releasing more and more crimson shadows.

The purple planet trembled slightly, spewing out a dense barrage of energy beams that trailed long tails of light, hurtling towards Li Xingzhou and the spaceship behind him like a meteor shower.

Just as Li Xingzhou was about to use his magic to intercept him, he suddenly smiled slightly and glanced back.

The shadowy girl stood atop the spaceship's hull, holding the "Ten Thousand Miles of Clouds and Smoke," her naked body radiating divine power, her long silver hair moving without wind.

She slowly drew her bow. There was no arrow on the bowstring, but as the bowstring gradually opened, an arrow, as if formed from moonlight, appeared out of thin air on the bowstring.

As the bow was drawn to its fullest extent, Elizabeth released her fingers, and the moon-like arrow flew off the bowstring, splitting as it flew. In the blink of an eye, it transformed from a single arrow into countless moon-light arrows, which bombarded the meteor shower-like energy blasts.

The Moonlight Arrows and Energy Bullets collided in succession, creating a dazzling array of explosions that resembled a fireworks display, illuminating the pitch-black vacuum.

The dark maiden possesses the divine duty of "hunting," and archery is her specialty.

Now, with inexhaustible divine power, even more than enough to be refined, he used it to propel "Ten Thousand Miles of Clouds and Smoke," and with just one arrow, he intercepted all the energy light bullets.

As a benevolent deity, Iristris would not attack the innocent without cause.

But Igor is different.

This is an extremely cold-blooded and evil god who, in his long life, has devoured many inhabited planets and even planted seeds of divine power on Earth, intending to devour it one day as well.

He even regarded his own offspring as ants, and killed all those who did not inherit his divine power.

Although all of this was just Li Xingzhou's description, Iris trusts Li Xingzhou, especially since she had already observed his camp with her divine eye when she saw the purple planet.

That purple planet, shrouded in a dense, malevolent aura, was already a deep, almost blackish red.

Faced with such rare evil, Iristris certainly wouldn't hold back.

After she intercepted that wave of energy blasts with a single arrow.

The purple planet trembled slightly again, and once more, countless energy orbs soared into the sky. This time, it wasn't just one wave, but one after another, bombarding the planet relentlessly.

Having lived for countless years, Igor possesses unfathomable energy reserves, giving him ample resources to sustain a protracted struggle.

The dark maiden, who was at the peak of her divine power, remained calm and composed upon seeing the situation. With a smile on her lips, she drew her bow and released arrow after arrow, each of which split into countless moonlight beams after leaving the bowstring, intercepting the barrage of energy projectiles.

Seeing that they could not break through the dark girl's divine arrow rain for the time being.

Two more enormous energy tentacles emerged from the purple planet, bypassing the crimson giant hand that was entangled and fighting with the first energy tentacle, and flanked Li Xingzhou from both sides.

At this moment, Iriana also appeared on the outer shell of the spaceship.

Holding the Soul Sword, she chanted the "Holy Sword Slash" incantation. The bracelet on her left hand emitted a dazzling light, and the Soul Sword shot out a violent sword beam, which condensed into a huge beam of light and blasted out. Like the star-destroying energy cannon fired by the "Death Star", it hit an energy tentacle hard and held it firmly, preventing it from advancing an inch.

At the same time, a beam of light flew out from the fontanelle above Li Xingzhou's head, transforming into the cold-faced Heavenly Sword True Lord in purple robes. Holding a divine sword, he gently swung it, and a surge of sharp sword energy erupted, transforming into countless strands of sword light that formed a net-like sword array, blocking the other energy tendril.

When the energy tendrils touched the sword formation, they not only failed to break through the seemingly thin and fragile net-like sword formation, but were instead continuously cut and strangled by countless strands of sword light, scattering countless energy fragments, which were then devoured and refined by the sword formation, amplifying its power.

For a time, Li Xingzhou's side and Igor were locked in a stalemate.

Although Ego was unable to reach Li Xingzhou and the spaceship, he was, after all, a god who could instantly wipe out an interstellar fleet or even easily defeat an interstellar civilization. With his unfathomable energy reserves, he could withstand the constant devouring and erosion of his energy by the crimson giant hand and the sword array.

Even if it's just this level of intensity, he could easily last for one or two Earth years.

Li Xingzhou knew, of course, that it wouldn't be easy to wear down Ego like this—don't be fooled by Ego's weakness and how he was blown up by the Guardians of the Galaxy, because Star-Lord, who inherited his divine power, severely interfered with his energy flow internally.

Now, without Star-Lord causing trouble inside the planet, it won't be easy for Li Xingzhou to launch a strong attack on Ego from the outside.

However, this "difficulty" refers to the fact that Li Xingzhou did not use any equipment.

"It's almost time to finish."

After a brief standoff, Li Xingzhou took out the Infinity Gauntlet and put it on.

As the power gem on the glove glowed purple, the crimson giant hand surged with power, instantly tearing the energy tentacles that were entangled with it to shreds. Then, a palm strike descended from the sky and blasted towards the purple planet.

The sword formation of the Heavenly Sword True Lord also suddenly erupted. A blazing white sword light, reaching the heavens and the earth, like a celestial river falling from the sky, shot out from the sword formation. With just one strike, it shattered the energy tendrils that were struggling against the sword formation.

Afterwards, Heavenly Sword True Monarch also commanded the sword formation and charged towards the purple planet.

This sudden and dramatic change caused Igor to freeze for a moment.

He couldn't quite understand why, when they were even locked in a stalemate before, the opponent's strength had suddenly surged to this level.

Just as the crimson giant hand and sword array were about to break into the atmosphere, another energy barrier, almost solidified and like a diamond, rose on the purple planet, firmly resisting the crimson giant hand and sword array.

Seeing that Ego could still resist, the Space Stone on Li Xingzhou's Infinity Gauntlet suddenly lit up again. His figure disappeared instantly, and when he reappeared, he had already passed through the energy barrier and arrived on the surface of the planet.

The moment he landed, the ground beneath his feet cracked open, and an energy tentacle, like a giant python hunting its prey, lunged at him.

Li Xingzhou unleashed a punch, his fist, adorned with the Infinity Gauntlet, exuding divine power capable of shattering mountains and breaking peaks, instantly obliterating the energy tentacles.

At the same time, the Mind Gem on the glove suddenly lit up. Li Xingzhou's divine sense expanded tenfold and a hundredfold. The all-pervasive demonic thoughts and thoughts spread with his divine sense, seeping into the planet's surface and penetrating deep into the Earth's core. They almost ignored the last energy barrier around Igor's brain, directly penetrating Igor's brain, reading his memories, distorting his cognition, and even attempting to erase his consciousness.

Ego has no physical body; he manipulates energy and matter purely through his consciousness. The fact that he has grown to this point using only a brain speaks volumes about the immense power of his mind.

Therefore, even with the amplification of the Mind Gem, Li Xingzhou's inner demons and thoughts could not easily erase Igor's consciousness.

However, under the interference of demonic thoughts, Igor's control over the planet and energy eventually ran into problems.

The energy barrier, which was enduring the attacks of the crimson giant hand and the Heavenly Sword True Monarch, suddenly trembled violently, its structure becoming disordered. Huge energy tentacles burst forth from the ground, but they only lashed out aimlessly, blasting the planet's surface until it was shattered and cracked, revealing huge fissures.

Taking advantage of the energy barrier's instability, the crimson giant hand and the Heavenly Sword True Monarch exerted their power simultaneously, finally breaking through the energy barrier.

Then, the Heavenly Sword True Lord slashed the ground with his sword, cutting a crack that led straight to the depths of the Earth's core, targeting the brain of the Heavenly God.

The crimson giant hand transformed into a sea of ​​blood, surging outwards in all directions and gradually enveloping the entire planet.

When the last piece of the purple planet was also covered by a sea of ​​blood.

Li Xingzhou smiled slightly, his body transforming into a crimson robe. He sat on the skeletal throne and slowly sank into the sea of ​​blood...

On the spaceship.

Seeing the entire planet submerged in a sea of ​​blood, with its energy tentacles flailing wildly across the surface being swallowed up one by one, Iriana let out a long sigh and telepathically communicated with Iristris:
"finished?"

Iristris sensed the divine power for a moment, then shook her head:
"Not yet. Deep within the earth's crust, a fierce battle is still raging. However, Leon has already trapped Ego's true form and is gradually gaining the upper hand in the battle on the level of mind and energy. The fall of this evil god is only a matter of time."

"That's good."

Iliana stretched and said, "I was exhausted from withstanding that energy tentacle. I feel completely drained... I'm going back to rest."

Having said that, he opened the portal and jumped back into the spaceship.

Iris stood on the hull of the spaceship and watched for a long time, making sure that Li Xingzhou had completely taken control of the situation before returning to the spaceship to rest.

For the next three Earth days, the sea of ​​blood on the planet's surface continued to boil, and every now and then an energy tentacle would burst out of the sea of ​​blood, thrashing about wildly, but it would soon be swallowed up by the sea of ​​blood.

Judging from this, the battle between Li Xingzhou and Ego will not end anytime soon. In fact, if the goal was simply to kill Ego, Li Xingzhou could have used the power of the Infinity Gauntlet to kill him directly when Tianjian Zhenjun broke into the planet's core and the sea of ​​blood covered the entire planet.

But his intention was not simply to kill; he wanted to eat the complete brain of the god and digest all of Ego's divine power and the knowledge he had accumulated over countless years.

Therefore, one cannot rush it; one must simmer it over low heat and cook it patiently.

Since there would be no results in the short term, on the third day, Li Xingzhou sent a telepathic message to Iristris and Iriana, telling them that they didn't have to stay there and wait idly, and that they could return to Earth from time to time to rest, leaving the two of them on duty in the spaceship.

Upon receiving the message, Iriana and Iristris summoned Wu Yacha and the others for a discussion. They left Wu Yacha and Garuda on duty and led the other girls to teleport directly back to Earth.

After that, every three days, Iliana would bring two girls to relieve her, and Iristris would also come along to check on things.

And so, three full Earth months passed.

this day.

Iriana opened the portal again and boarded the spaceship.

This time, Selena and Susan accompanied her on her turn to take over, while Betty and Emma took over their duties.

As for the girls in the zombie world, after a month-long vacation in the bustling civilized world, they were sent back to manage Paradise City by the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws, who remained on Manhattan Island.

"It's been so long, I hope nothing bad has happened to Master."

For the past three days, Emma has spent most of her time staring at that blood-red planet.

By now, the sea of ​​blood on the planet's surface has dried up—or rather, it has seeped into the planet's interior, turning the planet's surface into a blood-red desert riddled with massive cracks and devoid of any vegetation.

And for a very long time, no energy tentacles have emerged from the ground.

"Li Ang is fine."

The shadowy girl who had come to visit the set with Iriana, Selena, and Susan sensed something for a moment, then looked slightly puzzled. "Ego's aura has completely disappeared; he seems to have perished. But Leon's current state is also somewhat strange. He seems... to be undergoing some kind of transformation?"

Iliana asked, "Transformation? What does that mean?"

“I can’t quite put my finger on it, it’s a very subtle feeling.” The girl in the shadows shook her head. “He can’t be disturbed right now. Liana, you take Teacher Betty and Emma back. I’ll stay here to keep Selena and Susan company on duty and observe them for a few days.”

Iliana said, "I'll take Emma and Teacher Betty back first, and then I'll come back to check on things."

Although Emma was more concerned about her master's condition and was not in a hurry to go back, as the vice president of the MASA Group, her work was quite busy. She had been on duty here for three days now and had accumulated a lot of company affairs.

Ms. Betty couldn't skip work for too long, so the two of them returned to Earth with Iriana.

Afterwards, Iriana returned to the spaceship, where she stayed with the Dark Girl, Selena, and Susan, observing the changes on the planet.

Nothing happened for the first two days.

On the third day, the blood-red planet suddenly trembled slightly, and then visible "wrinkles" appeared in the void around it, as if the planet's mass had suddenly increased, causing space to bend sharply. At the same time, the spaceship was also drawn rapidly toward the planet.

Iristris quickly released her divine power to envelop the entire spaceship and resist the increasingly strong gravity, but she could only slow down the speed at which the spaceship was being pulled.

Iriana and Susan also used their magic and superpowers to help, which barely managed to stabilize the spaceship.

But that wasn't enough. As the distortion and folding of space around the planet deepened, the gravity became increasingly powerful, drawing even distant space meteorites and asteroids toward the blood-red planet.

Just when Elise and the others were about to give up.

Suddenly, a dazzling beam of light flew out from the blood-red planet and landed on the spaceship, like a curtain that covered it.

Under the cover of the aura, the spaceship was no longer affected by gravity and remained firmly in place.

Iris and the others breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it was Li Xingzhou who had made the move. Their worries about his condition were largely relieved, and they stayed on the spaceship to wait for the results.

This wait lasted for several more days.

The gravitational pull of the crimson planet grew stronger and stronger, drawing in surrounding meteors and asteroids, which then crashed onto it. As matter continued to accumulate, the crimson planet grew larger and larger.

Originally a planet with a diameter similar to Mars, it has expanded to a size similar to Earth in just a few days.

And this expansion shows no signs of stopping in the near future.

As the planet expands, its gravity grows stronger, drawing in not only distant meteorites and asteroids that fall onto the blood-red planet, but even a red dwarf star is affected by its gravity, gradually spreading out enormous fiery tendrils that land on the blood-red planet, "forging" the captured matter and turning the ever-expanding surface of the blood-red planet into a sea of ​​molten lava.

This magnificent and magical scene left Elizabeth and the others deeply shocked, and at the same time, a deep sense of worry inevitably arose in their hearts once again.

Li Xingzhou is still inside the core of the blood-red planet. Now that the planet has become like this, can he withstand the increasing pressure and terrifying high temperature as the planet continues to expand?
Or perhaps, all these anomalies were orchestrated by him?
The crimson planet is consuming more and more matter.

Several more days passed, and the diameter of the blood-red planet suddenly exceeded 30,000 kilometers, and its volume had reached more than ten times that of Earth.

Just when Elise and the others thought that the planet, whose surface had already turned into a sea of ​​fire, would continue to expand,

The distorted and wrinkled void surrounding the planet suddenly returned to normal.

The lava on the planet's surface also cooled rapidly, solidifying into gray-black rock at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Iristris and Iriana exchanged a glance, wondering whether they should land on the planet to check on the situation.

Suddenly, a spot on the planet's surface burst open, and a gigantic hand, large enough to grasp the moon between its five fingers, burst forth from the ground.

Then another equally enormous hand pried open the gray-black crust, emerging from the ground amidst flying rocks. The two giant hands pressed down on the planet's surface and pushed outwards with force.

Although sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space, Iriana and the others in the spaceship still felt a shiver run down their spines, as if they heard a crisp "click" sound.

The enormous planet in the distance, with a diameter exceeding 30,000 miles, was suddenly torn apart by the force of those two terrifying giant hands.

Only then did Iliana and the others realize that the enormous planet was actually just a "thin" outer shell, and its interior had become hollow.

Like a giant cosmic egg, within that hollow planet, a terrifying colossus was born.

When the giant tore open the "eggshell" and stretched out its body, a colossus larger than any planet appeared in the universe.

Data detected by the spacecraft showed that the giant's height exceeded 60,000 kilometers!
The Earth's diameter is only a little over 12,000 kilometers, so the giant's height was a staggering five times that of the Earth!
With his size, he could shatter the Earth with a single punch.

Such a colossal object, simply by existing, is enough to drive one to madness.

However, Iriana, Iristris, Selena, and Susan were not afraid.

They gazed at the colossus that radiated a dazzling, clear light, seemingly embodying all the beauty in the universe, its form perfectly flawless. Their eyes were filled with excitement, longing, and reverence.

Even the goddess Iristris looked at the giant god as if she were looking at the true god she admired and worshipped.

Because that giant god was none other than Li Xingzhou.

After devouring Igor, he felt that his opportunity had arrived and decisively attempted to break through to the Ancient Golden Core technique.

He absorbs the energy from surrounding space meteorites and asteroids, and even from red dwarf stars, precisely to convert matter into energy through mass-energy conversion, thus filling the bottomless energy demand when attempting to break through to the ancient Golden Elixir method.

Of course, the ancient method of elixirs cannot be broken through simply by accumulating energy.

The requirements for one's cultivation level are also extremely high.

Fortunately, Li Xingzhou had cultivated for nine lifetimes and collected countless ancient scriptures over several lifetimes. He had also encountered the "Immortal Gate" several times and even experienced the tribulation of ascension to immortality more than once. His foundation was unfathomably deep.

In this life, he came into contact with a new power system and even gained access to the cosmic knowledge that Ego had accumulated over countless years.

He has already accumulated enough experience in the Dao.

and so.

The ancient Golden Elixir method, which had become an ancient legend in the cultivation world and was completely forbidden by the Heavenly Dao, has reappeared in this universe.

Once the ancient method of making the elixir is completed, the "laws of heaven and earth" will naturally be formed.

At this moment, his physique, which is over 60,000 kilometers tall, is not even his limit.

It was simply because of his size that he could comfortably curl up inside that planet with a diameter of over 30,000 kilometers.

Li Xingzhou stood in the vacuum of space, feeling the boundless power within his body.

It wasn't until the pill was formed that he truly understood why there was the saying, "Once a golden pill is swallowed, my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven."

In the cultivation world, when cultivators using the "modern method" say such things, they are simply trying to piggyback on the ancient method of Golden Core cultivation and pat themselves on the back—what right do Golden Core cultivators who can only live for a mere five hundred to a thousand years have to boast that "my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven"?
Only the ancient method of making the Golden Elixir truly grants the power to control one's own destiny once the Golden Elixir is completed, no longer subject to the whims of fate!
The ancient method of making the Golden Elixir grants one complete supernatural powers, endless lifespan, and an immortal body and spirit. With a single glance, one can see through all illusions and glimpse the truth.

At this moment, in Li Xingzhou's eyes, the cosmic vacuum was no longer a dark void, but filled with countless dark matter and dark energy, which he could use at will.

The dazzling background colors formed by various cosmic radiations and gravitational waves were also clearly visible to him. He could even glimpse countless pieces of information from the past. If he wanted, he could clearly see all the details of Ego's birth, growth, and death in this star field.

This universe holds no secrets from the past for him anymore.

He can even see through spacetime barriers and see other parallel universes.

He immediately saw the City of Elysium in another world, and Wu Yacha and Garuda teaching girls martial arts. He also saw another zombie universe, and Peter Parker and others piloting a spaceship, rescuing survivors everywhere.

If he wanted, he could easily break through the spacetime barrier, step out of this universe, and instantly travel to other parallel universes.

Li Xingzhou turned his head and looked at the red dwarf star in the far distance, which had shrunk in size a little because he had captured a lot of matter when he advanced to the Golden Core stage.

He opened his mouth and inhaled.

The red dwarf star leaped toward him with incredible speed, its size constantly compressing along the way until it finally transformed into a bright red pill, which he swallowed with a gulp.

In the cultivation world, it is said that the ancient method of elixirs involves exhaling a breath that extinguishes the stars and inhaling a breath that allows the Milky Way to enter the body.

This statement is not unfounded.

Li Xingzhou had just completed his Golden Core stage. Although he couldn't blow away all the stars in one breath or devour an entire galaxy in one go, devouring a small red dwarf star was as easy as eating a sugar pill.

No, these meatballs are a little spicy; they should be called spicy meatballs.

"After ten lifetimes of cultivation, I have finally attained enlightenment today."

Yes, achieving the ancient method of elixirs can be considered "attaining the Dao".

Although this is not the end of cultivation, and in the future one can cultivate to a higher realm of transcending the universe, evolving chaos, and creating the world, at least in this universe and its parallel universes, Li Xingzhou has now reached the pinnacle.

So next…

He looked at the spaceship, which was as tiny as a speck of dust.

He has endless time; now it's time for him to transform from an immortal to a mortal and fully enjoy a carefree life.

……

The sun was shining brightly, and Manhattan Island was bustling with traffic and crowds. The smell of tobacco filled the air, and occasionally a sharp gunshot rang out.

This is yet another bustling and peaceful everyday scene.

Suddenly, a spatial gate opened above the city, and a tall robot with a yellow gem embedded in its forehead, four gems of various colors in a row on its chest, and a gem embedded in its heart stepped out of the spatial gate.

It hovered in mid-air, looking down at the city below.

"Another world filled with endless strife..."

It raised its right hand, and energy began to gather in its palm, whispering like a high and mighty deity judging all living beings:
"Let me grant you eternal peace and tranquility..."

Before he finished speaking, a small spatial portal suddenly opened behind him, and a fair and slender hand reached out from the portal, grabbed him in its palm, rolled him into a ball, and then quickly withdrew it back.

The sky remained unchanged, and the city on the ground remained the same as always.

"what are you eating?"

Iliana, who was strolling through the mall arm in arm with Li Xingzhou, noticed that Li Xingzhou had put something into his mouth with his free hand and was chewing it noisily. She couldn't help but ask him about it.

"Flavorful beans, a great snack to go with drinks. Want one?"

A small bag of snacks appeared in Li Xingzhou's hand.

"A snack to go with drinks? I'll try it."

Iliana took the snacks and tried them out, chewing them with a crunching sound just like him.

"Is it delicious?"

"So-so. Wasn't it supposed to be a snack to go with drinks? Maybe it would taste better with the wine. Give me a bottle of good wine."

"Just bear with it for now. Elizabeth's first concert is at 7 PM tonight, and we have to go to the concert later. What kind of behavior is it to be drunk? We'll give you a good drink at the celebration after her concert is a success..."

"Then I'll drink ten bottles in one go."

"Drink as much as you want..."

The two chatted and laughed as they merged into the crowd in the mall.

……

[Haha, I wrote too freely and ended up ruining it... so this book has to be finished. I'm starting a new book today, it should be available this afternoon? The new book will be more toned down.] (End of Chapter)
