Devouring the Stars: Withdrawing Talents

"Haha, all of you, die!"

The nine-headed serpent roared, its voice like thunder, and endless crimson flames erupted from the void as its nine heads vented their joy towards the sky.

It locked onto its first target, the Lord of Tianfeng City. However, the Lord of Tianfeng City was at the semi-primordial level and had also cultivated the escape technique left by "Yuan". Naturally, the distance he could escape was far away from the nine-headed serpent.

Moreover, the nine-headed serpent itself is restricted, carrying the sealing power of the entire cultivation holy world, so catching up with it is not so easy.

Once it locked onto the direction of the City Lord of Tianfeng, the nine-headed serpent charged straight towards him.

Instead of immediately killing the City Lord of Tianfeng, it continued along this direction, killing all the cultivators and constantly approaching the City Lord of Tianfeng.

"coming."

"I never imagined I would die at the hands of a high-level Hunyuan life form."

The nine-headed serpent was too fast for the cultivators along the way to avoid. One cultivator turned to look behind him and even slowed down, knowing that running faster was useless.

Crimson flames swept across the area, and the cultivator, with a calm gaze, vanished from the world without a sound.

"Is it my turn yet?"

A cultivator wielding a halberd was fleeing. He was only at the peak of the God Emperor level, and speed was not his forte. His escape speed was only mediocre among cultivators.

"My life has been quite eventful!"

Sensing the nine-headed serpent rapidly approaching from behind, countless scenes flashed through his mind in an instant.

When weak, one must survive cautiously, cultivate diligently, and improve step by step, amidst various battles, struggles, and schemes...

puff~
The crimson flames swept past and disappeared into the world.

The deaths of cultivators were all too common at this moment. The nine-headed serpent appeared slow, but in reality, time was affected. In the blink of an eye, it had annihilated hundreds of cultivators.

It's important to know that among these fleeing cultivators, even the weakest were at the late-stage God Emperor level, because the weaker cultivators...

There's no way to escape!

When Tianfeng City fell, they had already become the targets of a massive attack by low-level Chaos Origin beings.

"call."

The cultivators rushing behind him were engulfed one after another by the crimson flames. The nine-headed serpent didn't even bother to use other techniques; it could kill them with its own flames alone.

In the blink of an eye, the nine-headed serpent killed over a thousand cultivators. Although it appeared to be strolling leisurely, it could easily catch up with the fleeing cultivators.

On the route of the Heavenly Wind City Lord, almost all ordinary God Emperors at the Perfected level were wiped out, leaving only a few top-tier experts with extremely high speeds escaping.

"Is it my turn?"

The Lord of Tianfeng City turned his head to look, and even stopped running away.

"I had planned to return to the Origin World after some time, but I never expected that a life form would break through to the advanced level of Chaos Origin Life." The City Lord of Tianfeng felt helpless.

Unlike most cultivators in the cultivation holy realm, he possesses an avatar, so he is not afraid of the avatar's demise. However, the accumulation of countless years must all remain here today.

"I'd like to see where my limits are."

The Lord of Tianfeng City stopped fleeing. He stretched out his right hand, and a tremendous power began to gather around him. His entire body was covered by a strange layer of water droplets.

Chi chi chi——

The attacks, like water droplets, landed on the nine-headed serpent. These incredibly sharp "droplets" tore open a wound that was over ten miles long and more than a mile deep.

However, this injury was barely a scratch to the nine-headed serpent that was a thousand miles tall. The serpent didn't even bother to defend itself against such a minor injury.

"You ant, you did your best!"

The nine-headed serpent roared, unleashing a surge of crimson flames. Layers of void appeared around the City Lord of Tianfeng, as he attempted to unleash his attacks, but all were annihilated. The direction from which the City Lord of Tianfeng fled was now home to many renowned cultivators, yet not one of them could resist or produce a miracle.

Miracle……

It's simply too difficult to achieve!
Cultivation ultimately relies on accumulation. If one's own accumulation is insufficient, even if death comes, one can only dream of breaking through.

Those who break through on the verge of death have already accumulated enough; they are just one step away from success.

The fall of the Lord of Tianfeng City caused grief in the hearts of many cultivators. They lamented the death of the Lord of Tianfeng City, but they also knew that it would probably be their turn soon.

……

the other side.

The Thunder Ancestor and the Flame Wind Ancestor were also fleeing, or rather, all the powerful figures in Tianyun City were fleeing.

The Yuantian Sacred Realm is spherical in shape, with the Abyss Mountains at its center, followed by a series of desolate island continents, and then thirty-six cities arranged in order of spatial distance.

According to the rules of the Yuantian Sacred Realm, the closer to the Abyss Mountains, the denser the world power and the weaker the sealing power, so there are more powerful people stationed there. However, in reality, the defenses of the thirty-six cities are all about the same.

But now, the sealing power of the entire cultivation holy world has basically been gathered on that nine-headed serpent.

Therefore, after Tianfeng City was destroyed, the cities behind it, such as Tianyun City, naturally had even less ability to defend themselves.

"No matter how dazzling one's talent or how powerful one's strength, one will still die when encountering a high-level Chaos Origin life form."

The Thunder Ancestor gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with madness. "Life within the cage, if unable to transcend it, is ultimately nothing more than an ant."

The Flame Wind Ancestor, who was walking alongside him, remained calm, knowing that after all the top experts had died, it would be their turn.

unless……

Anyone who can break through the shackles and become a Chaos Origin Lifeform, even if it is a breakthrough through bloodline awakening, is only just stepping into the ranks of advanced Chaos Origin Lifeforms, but is enough to deal with an advanced Chaos Origin that has been sealed.

They even had a real chance to kill the nine-headed serpent.

"To achieve the state of Hunyuan is not so easy."

Ancestor Yanfeng thought to himself, "Since I don't have the Hunyuan bloodline, if I want to break through, I have to break through the law with force, which makes my hope even more remote."

……

Countless cultivators abandoned the city and fled.

The nine-headed serpent was eliminating them from one direction at a time. If they could escape further and delay for longer, perhaps they would have a chance to survive.
No matter what, we can't give up.

Even those who have clones, like the Flame Wind Ancestor and the Thunder Ancestor, will not easily annihilate their clones unless absolutely necessary.

"A bunch of damned ants!"

The nine-headed serpent, which was slaughtering cultivators one after another, was becoming increasingly angry because it sensed that cultivators were annihilating themselves within the range of its rules.

This situation is naturally quite clear.

These cultivators with clones, especially those protected by the Source World, could only be completely annihilated by the Nine-Headed Serpent unleashing its full power.

It is currently suppressed by the sealing array. Although it can barely maintain some strength, it cannot break free from these chains. How can it forcibly eliminate cultivators through the protection of the source world?

Suddenly—
"Boom!"

A jet-black crack appeared across the sky on the membrane of the Heavenly Sacred Realm.
