Swallowing the Stars: Speedrun with Card Draws, Dominating Destiny

Chapter 171 The Restless Demon Clan

"Extraterritorial battlefield, the core of the Seventh War Zone—Shattered Star Fortress," the frontline war base of the Demon Clan.

This colossal war fortress, forged from the molten remains of countless star bones and the corpses of dead beast gods, resembles a ferocious beast crouching in the starry sky, exuding a savage and bloody aura. Deep within the fortress lies a magnificent hall supported by enormous beast bones.

"roar-!!!"

A low, suppressed wolf howl, like muffled thunder, rolled across the hall! A majestic wolf overlord, its body as imposing as a mountain and covered in bluish-black, steel-needle-like bristles, stared intently at the massive energy barrier in front of it with its enormous eyes burning with eerie green flames!

On the screen, chilling footage of carnage was playing repeatedly:

One hundred figures, relatively "tiny" in size and shrouded in ferocious armor, moved efficiently through the chaotic star field like cold war machines! They ignored defenses and encirclements; each brief encounter resulted in the instant annihilation of a powerful demon venerable or an entire army of kings! In the scene, they even used absolute power to confront and tear apart an interception squad composed of three high-level demon venerables!

"The intelligence our spies brought back at the cost of their lives!" The voice of the Sirius Overlord was filled with boundless rage, his claws unconsciously carving deep furrows into the incredibly hard black gold stone ground. "This ghostly force, always numbering a hundred! They've been sweeping wildly behind our vast battle lines! Their targets are indiscriminate, from lone High Venerables to ordinary King-level Immortals—more than ten Universe Venerables and thousands of King-level Immortals have already fallen victim to their claws!"

The screen froze on one of the figures. The silhouette under the armor was vaguely recognizable as that of the Zerg Dragon Tank Flame Worm, but the flowing light of the supreme treasure law and the terrifying power it unleashed far exceeded any known record of the Dragon Tank Flame Worm!

The demon race's communication methods are relatively primitive and backward, and their intelligence transmission efficiency is far inferior to that of human virtual universe networks.

At this moment, the hundred or so demon race powerhouses gathered in the hall were all top-tier beings with vast auras and diverse forms. They were all high-level cosmic venerables, and the pressure emanating from some of them was no weaker than that of the Heavenly Wolf Overlord!

"Hiss—" A Reincarnation Serpent, a supreme being perched atop a colossal pillar of the hall, its body winding like a mountain range, its pupils seemingly swirling with countless vortexes of time and space, flicked its cold tongue. Its voice held a hint of surprise and amusement. "A full one hundred—High-Level Universe Venerables? Humanity has pulled out all its last reserves, resorting to guerrilla tactics and sneak attacks?"

Its enormous serpentine eyes swept across the entire area, carrying an undisguised mockery: "When did even humans become so—despicable?"

"Hahaha!"

"They've run out of ideas!"

"A mere hundred High-Level Venerables think they can shake my demon army? They're delusional!"

A burst of laughter and ferocious roars instantly filled the hall! Many high-ranking demon lords and even overlords wore disdainful and cruel smiles on their faces.

Guerrilla warfare?

In the face of absolute power and numbers, it's nothing but a tickle!

The demon race is divided into eighteen royal clans, and below them are countless fierce royal clans! The number of immortal kings and cosmic venerables far exceeds that of the human race, and the number of cosmic overlords is also several times greater! Humanity, concentrating its strength and relying on technological means such as divine fortresses, is still struggling to hold on, yet now they dare to send a hundred high-level venerables out to their deaths?!

"Harassment"? In the eyes of the powerful demons, this was undoubtedly a foolish and suicidal act!

"Hmph!" The Sirius Overlord let out a cold snort, a cruel glint flashing in its eerie green eyes. "Since humans have foolishly scattered this precious fighting force as a gift—then we shall gladly accept it!"

It surveyed the assembled overlords and venerable figures, its voice resolute: "All royal families and noble clans, heed my command! Immediately muster your elite forces and form hunting squads! An eye for an eye!"

"Using the divine kingdom's teleportation as a network!"

"Find this human-rat squad—"

"Tear them to pieces, grind their bones to ashes!"

"Let humanity know that before absolute power, all means are futile!"

"Awooo—!!"

"hiss--!!"

A deafening roar and echoes resounded throughout the hall! Powerful figures sprang into action, using the divine kingdom teleportation points already deployed at key nodes, like a deadly swarm of bees, rushing towards the Star Tower radiation field indicated by the intelligence!

The demon race's powerful warriors were extremely efficient. A death net woven by multiple cosmic overlords and high-level venerables was rapidly enveloping the active "insect" legion!

The initial universe, Chaos City, the core of Lin Yi's palace.

The smoke from the extraterrestrial battlefield seemed to penetrate the barriers of space and time, permeating the eternally flowing chaotic currents of the primordial universe.

Lin Yi's figure appeared silently somewhere above Chaos City, his gaze piercing through layers of misty laws, and solemnly fixed on the boiling void.

The core laws of the primordial universe are currently boiling and roaring violently!

The originally gentle flow of primordial laws was now twisted and churning wildly, like a raging sea tossed with a boulder! An ineffable, supreme power, transcending the dimension of time, was being forcibly stirred!

The Lord of Chaos City, this towering pillar of the human race, is currently standing at the very core of this storm of laws!

He was no longer the gentle and refined man he usually was.

His entire body was covered in strange, jet-black scales that seemed to devour all light, each scale flowing with Dao patterns that suppressed the universe! He spread his arms wide, as if embracing the entire cosmos! His eyes, which once contained endless vortexes of spacetime, were now pure—

The black hole burst forth with supreme divine light that pierced through the past and the future!

He is no longer the "city lord".

Rather—the supreme deity who holds the power over time and space!

"Boom—!!!"

A phantom image of a vast river of time, whose immensity defies description, was forcibly torn out from the depths of the void by the Lord of Chaos City with immense power!

This long river is not formed by water, but by the birth and death of countless stars, the rise and fall of endless civilizations, and the trajectories of the fates of billions of living beings! It surges and roars, rolling with a deafening roar of destiny! The immense power of time backlash contained within it is enough to instantly annihilate the overlord of the universe!

The Chaos City Lord's right hand, covered in jet-black scales, now gleamed with piercing spacetime divine runes, fiercely piercing into the roaring, surging river of time!

His movements appeared gentle, yet they contained a power that could create the world!

Every probe and disturbance causes the entire primordial universe to tremble! Every time a figure is "rescued" from the surging torrent of fate, it is like engaging in the most direct struggle against the established rules of the entire universe!

"Certainly!"

A deep, resonant command, seemingly from the dawn of the universe!
