Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 378 Battle of Demon Clan Powerhouses

Spencer thought for a long time and finally decided not to go to Baiyang first, but to go to the port area instead.

After all, he was the realm lord, and he could see things that his subordinates couldn't.

He had been the city lord for a long time, and despite his pampered life, he was very afraid of dying.

Just like yesterday, he was accompanied by a large group of his subordinates when he arrived at the port area.

As soon as he got close, he smelled a strong, unbearable stench of blood.

The streets were filled with guards from the city lord's mansion and city defense troops, all of them with expressions of horror on their faces.

Spencer was led by the Chief of the Guard to the small building where Bai Yang had first started his massacre.

He only glanced at the corpse on the ground and understood the general outline of what had happened.

"A single blow is fatal, leaving no chance to resist."

They were at least realm lord-level mentalists, and they had clearly destroyed their souls directly.

But perhaps not satisfied with that, he used his telekinesis to torment their corpses, causing their heads to explode.

All of this indicates that it is indeed much as the Chief of the Guard said.

The other party is an extremely cruel guy who takes pleasure in killing.

Spencer then went to inspect a luxurious mansion, which was considered the best building in the entire port area.

Four powerful domain lords have gone missing here.

Spencer walked through the various rooms of the mansion, examining each one carefully, but found no signs of a battle.

If I didn't know those four guys, they would never have disappeared without a trace.

He would definitely assume that they had gone out on their own.

Looking at his chief bodyguard, he asked incredulously:

"Not a single one remained?"

The wolf-headed officer shook his head with a wry smile:

"No. Hundreds of powerful experts disappeared without a trace, without any actual fighting."

"My lord, could you be an immortal being?"

Spencer shook his head, his face full of confusion.

"Whether it's a large number of realm lords or immortal beings, this kind of silent method..."

I can't imagine what kind of illusion could achieve this; there must be an extremely powerful soul master in their faction.

-

Dozens of miles away, the spacetime clone was enjoying a large bowl of flesh and blood, which was his "harvest" from last night.

He didn't care at all when people came to his door, as if it had nothing to do with him.

This mixture of flesh and blood from nearly ten domain lord-level demonic beasts made him feel that his body's strength had increased after he swallowed it.

It doesn't affect cultivation level, but it does improve physical strength and defense, which is the most normal way for demons to become stronger.

"No wonder the demon race is so focused on the survival of the fittest; this concept must have real benefits to have formed."

This is far more convenient than humans painstakingly cultivating their genetic potential.

Humans were initially a little disgusted by eating raw meat, but after learning about its great benefits...

The time-space clone ate with increasing gusto and even experienced some tastes that are difficult for the human body to comprehend.

Inside the World Ring, the strange clone was emptying and sorting the items from dozens of spatial rings one by one.

Star Guardian is connected to the database of the virtual universe and operates dozens of robots to check each item one by one.

Last night's decisive victory has put Bai Yang in a rather good mood.

"If only there were a legitimate way to slaughter other demons without arousing suspicion."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

After Star Guardian finished scanning these things, he said to him:

"There might really be a way. Wait for me a moment."

Bai Yang was overjoyed and quickly asked, "What happened?"

The silver figure of the Star Guardian spoke to the pile of things:

"I found several network connection devices and optical computers here."

We've found some information and are currently verifying it.

Please wait for me a little longer.

Bai Yang's curiosity was piqued, and he asked, "What news? Tell me first."

Star Guardian said, "It's a battle of the demon race's strongest."

Upon hearing this word, Bai Yang immediately perked up.

"What is this?"

"It's still unclear. It might be something similar to a battle of geniuses or a battle of the strongest among human races."

The demon race seems to target the human race in everything they do, and they've even come up with something similar.

I'm not sure yet.

Bai Yang became curious and couldn't help but ask:

"Star Guardian, what information could possibly stump you?"

The silver figure immediately became angry when this was mentioned, its lips pursed.

"Hmph! The demon race's technology is really terrible!"

Without a virtual universe, they're building galaxy-level regional networks without even a unified standard.

These devices you stole can actually connect to seventeen or eighteen different networks.

The result is a complete information silo, utter garbage!

I have to hack into each one individually to piece together some information!

Bai Yang laughed heartily, telling her not to worry, though he was actually quite looking forward to it himself.

If we really want to categorize the human race, we can divide it into the selection battle for the pinnacle geniuses and the battle for the pinnacle of the strong.

The selection process targets individuals at both the Eternal Star level and the Cosmic Level.

In the original work, only the former appears; the latter is not mentioned at all.

Bai Yang never expected that there would be something similar among the demon race.

Are there any restrictions on cultivation level for the competition here?

With his current cultivation level of Domain Lord, is he eligible to participate?

This idea is incredibly audacious!

However, Bai Yang was somewhat confident.

"The human race must rely on the primordial universe so that the Lord of the Universe can discern whether a soul belongs to a different race."

Do demons have these conditions?

As long as I have a legitimate opportunity to go on a killing spree, that's fine. If all else fails, I'll just walk away at the last minute.

The technology of the demon race is not advanced enough to allow people to compete in a virtual world.

Never before in history has a human genius conceived such a crazy idea!

Not to mention, they actually took action.

But Bai Yang felt a restless urge in his heart; he was determined to make this happen!

Once the truth is revealed, the demon race will be truly humiliated across the entire universe.

Bai Yang could almost picture the scene of Master Dragon's Wanderer happily whipping the ground with his tail.

Since he's definitely on the demon race's kill list anyway, let's just take the top spot!

Bai Yang said to Xing Shou:

"Star Guardian, you need to open up some new ideas."

If we can really hack into the demon race's network one by one, then we should keep doing this.

Xing Shou blinked, unsure of what he meant.

Seeing that she lacked the talent for wicked schemes, Bai Yang had no choice but to personally inspire her:

"The demon race's network is far inferior to the virtual universe."

"Then try creating multiple clones in these regional networks and see if you can control the entire demon race's internet!"

Star Guardian exclaimed in surprise, clearly not expecting that.

"But the territory of the demon race is no smaller than that of the human race..."

Bai Yang laughed and said, "So what?"

For us, once we hack into their network, what difficulty is there in creating a few clones?

Humanity has 1008 cosmic kingdoms, while the demon race has hundreds, thousands, or even hundreds of millions of times more regional networks.

What does this mean to you?

Have you forgotten? Even within the demon realm, we can use a virtual universe!

Even with thousands upon thousands of clones, you can still synchronize time!

Star Guardian was stunned by these words; it actually seemed feasible!
