Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 108 I'm going to kill you, how dare you not die?

When Hunzhen stood up and slowly stepped into the circle, he was no different from a dead man in everyone's eyes.

However, all the soldiers present, including Noficales, overlooked one possibility.

In the ensuing "performance contest," Hunzhen defeated Nofigales, thus escaping the potential danger.

Nofigales looked at Hunzhen, who still maintained a calm expression, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes: "I must say, Hunzhen, your courage is unparalleled among the lower races I have ever seen."

Unfortunately, it cannot be used for one's own benefit.

For once, Nofigales felt a rare sense of appreciation for talent.

But it was only a little bit.

If he truly regrets it, he will naturally advise Hunzhen again to recruit him.

For the Abyss royal family... is it a case of treasuring talent?

Even if Hunzhen displays exceptional talent, Noficales will not care too much.

They're just servants; if you like them, you can take them away; if you can't... well, you can just kill them.

Nofigales also stepped into the circle, his height increasing tenfold from six meters to sixty meters, his terrifying aura rising.

All the soldiers were terrified.

The battalion commanders all showed expressions of awe. Such power, without the support of biological armor, was something they could never hope to attain in their entire lives.

Moreover... the power of these creature armors is also subject to the control of the other side?

Their gaze turned to Hunzhen, filled with deep pity.

They had initially held out some hope that this guy, who was known as the strongest battalion commander, could hold out for a long time against Nofigales, but seeing Nofigales' terrifying aura, they had no more expectations.

Many people recall the scene of Nofigales recruiting Hunzhen on that day.

If this kid had agreed to the division commander back then, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

Nofigales looked down at Hunzhen as if he were looking at a lowly ant, and a deep voice came from this god-like and tall body, like the sound of a thunderous drum.

"You insect, I will grant you, you lowly creature, a merciful death!"

Just then.

A thin layer of red mist quietly appeared on Hunzhen's body surface.

Faced with Nofigales' threat, he simply struck out with a light palm.

In an instant, space distorted, and terrifying power of law swept towards Nophigales as if the entire world had collapsed.

"Look—"

impossible!

Nofigales's expression changed drastically.

The power of this attack is far beyond what a ninth-level domain lord of a lower race could unleash!

After the Abyss Royal Family advances to the Domain Lord level, in addition to their original size increasing tenfold, if they accumulate enough, the Silver Demon and the Black Demon will each gain a unique innate secret technique.

On the Silver Demon Clan's side, this is the "Domain".

At the level of a domain lord, one possesses the extraordinary ability to completely control space within a radius of one thousand kilometers and to freely integrate into any environment, granting them exceptional survival and escape skills.

But that attack was too fast! And too powerful!

Hunzhen, who always uses telekinetic weapons, now strikes with his bare body. At such close range, with the two within the circle, there is simply no time to dodge!

Hunzhen clearly didn't use any secret techniques; it just seemed like he was simply striking out with an ordinary palm. So why did it have such terrifying power?

Nofigales was filled with doubt and uncertainty, unaware that Hunzhen was merely releasing the power he had been suppressing, launching a normal attack with the power befitting a creature with a 37x genetic multiplier, plus a little bit of Blood Luo power to help him. Naturally, it did not produce the same huge change in aura and momentum as him.

Sensing the terrifying power approaching, Nophigales immediately activated his innate secret technique "Domain," attempting to reduce the opponent's damage by merging his body with the void.

Hunzhen's spatial comprehension has now surpassed the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge, while Nofigales, although a young domain lord of the Silver Ghost Clan, possesses a spatial law comprehension comparable to the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge. Furthermore, given the Silver Ghost Clan's innate affinity for space, the quality of their spatial law power should be far superior to Hunzhen's.

By actively unleashing their domain and overwhelming the opponent's understanding of the laws, they only suffered minor injuries.

But the truth is quite the opposite.

In Nofigales's perception, although Hunzhen's understanding of the laws was weaker than his own, this palm strike seemed to cause the heavens and earth to collapse and split...

The "domain" instantly crumbled and collapsed.

He was powerless to resist and was slapped away.

The outer armor of the body was shattered into pieces, and gray blood splattered everywhere.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

It eventually flew backwards for more than ten kilometers, crashing and tumbling on the ground several times like a dead dog before finally coming to a stop.

silence.

The remaining million soldiers of the Second Division looked at each other, unable to hide their shock.

This scene was the exact opposite of what they had imagined, making them wonder if it was a dream.

It was truly astonishing... Hunzhen defeated Nofigales in one move with an almost overwhelming force. This result was too exaggerated and shocked their worldview, which had always regarded the Abyss royal family as sacred.

When the so-called saint is easily defeated by those of the same social class as them, like a pathetic dead dog, the dazzling halo surrounding the saint will inevitably weaken.

But for Hunzhen, this outcome was only to be expected.

After all, having served under Nofigales for decades, he could say he fully understood the division commander's abilities, though not completely.

The ninth-order life level of the domain lord is self-evident. In addition, the 6 times life gene multiplier is already outstanding among ordinary life forms.

Its understanding of the laws is comparable to the seventh level of the Tongtian Bridge, and due to its harmony with the space, its actual power reaches the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

However, during this period, Hunzhen's spatial laws have also quietly broken through to the seventh level. After activating the power of Blood Luo, the compatibility of the laws has increased, and the difference in the power of the laws is not that significant.

After all this time, he had already absorbed the Blood Crystal to its limit, reaching the level of a Black Warrior, gaining +9 times the physical strength amplitude and +2 times the law compatibility.

Moreover, Hunzhen's life gene ratio is more than six times that of the other party.

Even when attacking with physical strength, which is not his forte, his overall strength is still sixty times that of his opponent.

The fact that Nofigales wasn't killed with a single slap was due to the extremely strong defensive capabilities of his outer armor and the formidable power of his innate secret technique, "Domain."

Hunzhen stood in the void, looking down at Nofigales who was getting up from the ground. His eyes were cold, but his words were extremely arrogant and unrestrained.

"Wouldn't it be better if everyone just stayed out of each other's way and retired peacefully?"

Why do you always have to be so obnoxious and provoke me?

"Do you know... I've put up with you for a long time?"

Nofigales raised his head, his entire ashen face covered in blood vessels, his expression utterly ferocious.

The pride and dignity of royalty seemed to have been trampled underfoot by Hunzhen, becoming utterly worthless.

He had completely lost his composure and dignity, and cursed loudly: "You worthless brat, you mere ant-like being, I was willing to show you mercy and grant you a grand death, a unique privilege, and yet you dare to be so ungrateful and defy your superior?!"

I'm going to kill you, how dare you not be overjoyed at your death?

You dare to resist?!

This is the reason for Noficales's rage.

His deep-seated contempt for inferior races made him unable to tolerate such an offense.

It's like when an emperor issues an edict ordering a criminal to commit suicide, and instead of the criminal does so, the emperor goes up to the throne and punches him in the face.

No emperor could tolerate such humiliation!

In this abyss of purgatory, every abyss noble is an emperor to the lower races!

In an instant, the shattered silver armor on Nofigales' body began to shine, and the remaining shadow rose and transformed into a colossal horse as tall and unparalleled as a mountain.

Under the connection of their energies, the bio-armor of the soldiers was ready to move. Under the highest priority of control, the connection was established instantly, and with the soldiers actively channeling their power, the power of the abyss was already upon them.

If the previous acts of killing under the guise of "playful performance" were merely lacking in decorum, then...

Now, Noficales's attempt to kill a soldier by using the combined strength of his army is a complete abandonment of his senses.

However... Hunzhen's crushing victory over Nofigales just now shocked all the soldiers, especially since they were not in a state of full concentration during the war.

A brief hesitation was unavoidable.

With such a blessing from the abyss, even if it's only 50% as powerful as it was at its peak, one would be considered extremely fortunate.

The flow of power is not smooth.

Hunzhen had long ago spotted this opportunity.

The Yuan Shen weapons were released instantly, and 10081 Yuan Shen weapons were fully revealed.

"The third level of the Primordial Divine Weapon, the ultimate of the Primordial Light Style - Arc Light Leap."

He murmured to himself.

More than 10,000 beams of light burst forth simultaneously, maintaining the speed of light as they made spatial jumps.

This killer move, which once amazed everyone in the genius battle, has finally been displayed again in this abyss of purgatory.

Even though Hunzhen's understanding of the laws is not what it used to be, this move is still the fastest he can use to wield his primordial spirit weapon.

Countless rays of light wove together to form a magnificent torrent of light.

The natives of the Abyss of Purgatory had never witnessed such an attack.

In the blink of an eye, more than 10,000 people were killed in the first volley.

If it weren't for the fact that after the casualties, the soldiers, driven by their will to survive, finally managed to unite as one and utilize their rich experience from long battles to share the damage with their bio-armor.

Before they could fully unite, Hunzhen had probably already completely defeated the Second Division.

Meanwhile, Nofigales had already regrouped and flapped his fleshy wings toward Hunzhen.

For such a powerful individual, a distance of several kilometers is but a blink of an eye.

The division commanders of ordinary lower-class races can only exert the power of a high-level Realm Lord, not to mention that the Second Division's strength has been reduced to less than one-tenth.

The latest novel is first published here!

However, the Abyss Royal Family is uniquely blessed, and even so, they can still barely rival the combat power of a ninth-level World Lord.

Little did they know... such power was still insufficient in the face of Hunzhen.

Although the original light-style attack is fast, it ultimately targets a single point to break through an entire area. When facing a connected military formation, its lethality is immediately reduced.

Hunzhen suddenly changed his move.

The black and white light spots inside the Yuan Shen weapon suddenly collapsed into black light spots.

As the black halo radiated outwards from each of the primordial spirit weapons, it was as if an invisible hand had imprisoned the entire space.

This is a combined technique of the fourth level of the Primordial Spirit Weapon, Absolute Space-Time, and the fifth level, Dark Ring—

"Sixth Level of Primordial Spirit Weapon - Dark Annihilation Spacetime!"

Countless halos linked together, forming a vast spacetime domain that enveloped the world and collapsed inward, resembling a scene from a scientific short film depicting a black hole.

Numerous lives were pulled apart, annihilated, and disappeared as particles.

Under the two terrifying attacks of the Original Light Style and the Black Annihilation Spacetime, the Second Division, which originally had more than one million men, was instantly reduced to less than 500,000.

Compared to the division's peak strength of tens of millions of soldiers, it was now practically exhausted.

Nofigales stared at Junjin, who had accomplished all this, his eyes wide with fury and rage.

Even now, he felt no fear or regret, only anger.

The Second Division was of some value to him, who was about to be promoted to corps commander, but it was far from being indispensable.

Cultivating cronies and a core group? Don't be ridiculous.

For the Abyss Royal Family, the followers of lower races are as numerous as they can be, and they are worthless consumables.

His anger always stemmed from Hunzhen's ungrateful and disrespectful offense.

"kill!!!"

Nofigales knew he was no match for Hunzhen, but even if it meant his death, he was unwilling to let Hunzhen go.

Moreover, given the powerful collective ability of a large group, he was certain that Hunzhen wouldn't dare to truly kill him.

Some things, once done, will lead to being hunted down by the entire world.

Therefore, the division's morale was low and on the verge of collapse, but he still forcibly dragged them into the attack.

And he himself, just like in the beginning, rode the Nightmare Warhorse, charging at the forefront like a mad dog.

The ability to resonate with the masses is not a get-out-of-jail-free card for him, but rather a malicious collar that restricts the full potential of his true form.

Even if the guy was truly desperate and resorting to desperate measures, he was completely fearless and determined to kill him right here.

A trampled self-esteem can only be regained through genuine bloodshed.

The perfect divine weapon suddenly trembled, and the black annihilation space-time shattered and dissipated.

Blood suddenly spilled from the corner of Hunzhen's mouth, and he turned and fled without hesitation.

Noficales' eyes lit up.

"He's injured!?"

"That's right! How could a mere inferior race, even wielding that bizarre psychic weapon, unleash such terrifying power without paying a price!?"

Nofigales, his fighting spirit high, shouted the "fact" of Hunzhen's serious injury and death, encouraging his morale to pursue.

The chase lasted for ten days and ten nights.

During this process, Hunzhen's "injuries" continued to worsen. Every time he encountered guerrilla warfare, he would vomit three liters of blood, and cracks would appear on his body.

Meanwhile, the army's strength continued to decline sharply.

Finally, they arrived at the turbulent waters of the Forne River.

Hunzhen rushed in without hesitation.

This was not a slow-flowing section of the river, which ordinary soldiers could not cross; to pursue and attack in it was simply a pipe dream.

But Nofigales had no fear of death, nor did he have any thought of stopping or giving up.

Morale... finally collapsed completely.

Glory and faith, these fabricated concepts, finally lost their glamorous embellishment and revealed their hideous truth in the meaningless persecution of their compatriots.

Nofigales, his face grim, ran over anyone trying to escape during the pursuit.

"Those who retreat will die!"

He wielded a silver halberd, and with each swing, even soldiers who did not intend to flee were implicated and killed.

In the chaotic Fone River, where the power of the laws was in disarray, the remaining 100,000 troops continued their relentless pursuit.

The pursued Hunzhen Flying was fleeing at a slower and slower speed, and was being caught and engaged in battle more and more frequently, until it was completely exhausted.

Norfolkales, the commander of the army who had always been at the forefront of the battle, was also pale.

Clearly, even for a nobleman of his caliber, life on the River Forne was not easy.

The distance between the two sides has narrowed again.

Hunzhen suddenly turned around.

"boom!"

A sudden spatial-temporal turbulence erupted.

Ten thousand beams of incandescent light converged into a single beam, piercing through the turbulent flow and shooting towards the army.

Nofigales's expression changed drastically. If this attack hit, the remaining 100,000 troops, the last elite force, would be wiped out in an instant, and he would have no chance to defeat Hunzhen.

A beautifully crafted shield suddenly appeared, expanding to a height of 100 meters. Around the silver shield, the previously chaotic space calmed down, as if suppressed by an even more powerful spatial force.

Splash—

This spatial shield, which was the natural counterpart of the Black Demon Clan's Sword of Time, only lasted for a very short time before shattering.

But they managed to barely block the attack.

Nofigales showed no sign of joy.

"Is your weakness just an act?"

He looked at Hunzhen as if he were a traitor attempting rebellion: "You dare kill me!?"

The bright red waters of the Forne River flowed upstream, as if forming a red storm.

Standing in the eye of the storm, Hunzhen looked at Nofigales with pity in his eyes and murmured, "The wind is rising."
