Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 223 The Fallen Strongest (New Edition)

The founder of the giant axe had the confidence to easily abandon the demon race, but the other two races did not.

Even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't die easily. Unlike the mechanical race, they never let go of the possibility of completely crushing the demon race with a single blow.

The departure of the founder of the giant axe ironically led to the formation of the alliance between the two races that he had just conceived.

"Your Majesty, although it is not very necessary, to prevent humans from taking the opportunity to plot against us, I suggest that the men of our clan unite before we go to the Peak Realm."

"I agree. But I have a question."

"Oh?"

During the conversation, the Zerg Queen asked, "What if this incident was actually a conspiracy between humans and demons, or between the Lord of Yuan'ao and humans, preventing us from returning for the time being?"

Upon hearing this, a glint of malice flashed in the Demon Ancestor's eyes.

He was very confident and didn't think he would fall into a trap, but the Zerg Queen's words made him think differently.

He pondered for a moment, then grinned and said, "If humans dare to scheme against us, how about we join forces to eliminate them from the battle for supremacy?"

The Zerg Queen smiled beautifully: "It seems we truly share the same vision this time."

The foundation for in-depth cooperation is always established after a series of initial collaborations.

If their joint effort to eliminate the Dream Demon Ancestor goes smoothly this time, they will naturally be less wary of each other the next time they join forces to deal with humanity.

As the two smiled at each other, the Lord of Yuan'ao in the Demon Ancestor's hand was completely ignored.

"Damn Demon Ancestor!"

Lord Yuan'ao had already realized that, given the Demon Ancestor's ruthlessness, he would rather eliminate him here, causing some information to leak, than be slightly manipulated by him.

puff.

Not long after the Demon Ancestor and the Zerg Queen finished their discussion, the Lord of Yuan'ao suddenly died.

The two did not leave the original universe immediately, but waited for a while.

A few days later, the Demon Ancestor looked at the Zerg Queen and sneered, "It seems that the Lord of Yuan'ao's previous statement that he would spread the news everywhere after his death was just empty talk used to threaten us when things turned bad."

The Zerg Queen nodded in approval.

Immediately afterwards, they both flew out of the primordial universe.

That threat was indeed just empty talk.

Both Lord Yuan'ao and Lord Hao Lei were well aware that if these two strongest beings in the universe went to the Qingfeng Realm, they would either die or be enslaved by the Realm Beasts; there was no other outcome.

Judging from the idea of ​​the Beast Mohe, the latter is more likely now.

But those who are servants naturally have to consider the worst-case scenario.

For example, the case of the strongest being in the universe who was captured and refused to surrender even at the cost of his life...

If the Lord of Yuan'ao were to announce via full-screen microphone after his death that the two of them had gone to the Qingfeng Realm, it would naturally attract a lot of extra attention.

If the strongest being in the universe were to die as a result, it would be highly likely that someone would suspect something was amiss.

Given this, it's natural to try to obscure the process as much as possible.

Without any public shouting, only humans could realize that something was wrong after this incident.

If only humans knew the details of this incident, even if they claimed that the Lord of the Cave or someone behind the scenes had orchestrated their deaths, no one would believe them.

Since the lord of the inner palace is dead, there is no way to defend himself.

Just as the two strongest beings in the universe left the Peak Realm, the Realm Beast Mohe, far away in the Dark Land of the Peak Realm, received the news.

In theory, the traitors transformed by the Beasts are not the soul slaves of any specific person, but rather slaves commanded by the Beast community.

Originally, luring the strongest beings in the universe to the dark place of the Peak Realm was just a plan devised by the three of them—Lord Haolei, King Zhenjia, and Ancestral God Qiuyan—to weaken the original universe in order to ensure the ultimate victory of the World Beasts.

The plan was reported, but the Beasts, preoccupied with internal strife and mutual devouring, paid little attention to it.

Only in Mohe did they pay a little attention.

He casually inquired about the reasons behind their actions, and learned about the existence of the God of Time and Space, who was suspected to be beyond the norm.

After that, he practically hijacked the three men, making them gather intelligence about the Cosmic Sea for him.

What does it mean to be close to hijacking?

In most cases, the Beasts of the Realm wouldn't pay much attention to these three, but if any Beast of the Realm gave them a command, they would be unable to resist.

Mohe's restrictions on them were simply to make them conceal the operations they were asked to perform, to treat these matters as their own secrets, and to prohibit them from being revealed to other world beasts.

This is an operation that conforms to the highest rules.

Judging from what the three people relayed, the strength that the Time-Space God has now displayed seems to have reached the level of a fourth-order World Beast (the combat power of a Void True God under the suppression of the Primal Universe Will).

Moreover, according to the three reports, the God of Time and Space is still the Lord of the Universe and has not broken through to the level of the strongest being in the universe.

As is well known, after breaking through to the strongest in the universe, one's strength will experience a significant leap due to comprehending the evolution of chaos.

It is very likely that it will reach the level of a fifth-order world beast.

Mohe may have expressed disdain and inability to see clearly, but deep down he had not completely let go and remained concerned about the God of Time and Space.

"According to inherited memories, these so-called strongest beings in the universe, that is, the true gods, gave birth to miniature universes that are second only to the primordial universe in terms of resources."

"When other kin are of low rank, it is even more effective than devouring them. However, the number of true gods in the cosmic sea is far less than the number of kin."

"The other kin look down on these three's small universes simply because these three are considered resources of the Realm Beast group. If divided among them, each person would only get a tiny bit. In addition, the limitations imposed by the Supreme Rules and our Realm Beast instincts prevent us from leaving this nest at this stage."

"But I could secretly control the other True Gods besides these three without letting my kin know. I could keep this as a backup plan, waiting for the restrictions on leaving the nest to be lifted, and then devour the miniature universes of multiple True Gods in one go. Perhaps then I could evolve into a King sooner!"

"In addition, if a critical situation arises and the original source is greatly reduced due to the escape through the Boundary Light Channel, the strength will drop, and the restrictions of the rules will naturally weaken. One can also take the opportunity to escape into the Cosmic Sea, devour these small universes, and restore one's state."

Because of his wariness of the God of Time and Space, Mohe was more cautious, which led to these subtle differences in the operation.

Mohe was unaware whether other world beasts had issued similar orders to the three Lords of Haolei Star.

However, as for the strongest being in the universe whom he has schemed against this time, once he has completed his control and hidden him away, the situation of the others will be irrelevant to him.

The survival strategy of the Beast Realm focuses on improving itself, rather than weakening others.

Of course, this is just a tendency. When pushed to the limit, in order to become the final victor, they may also choose to be tactful.

At this moment, Mohe stayed at the edge of the dark place, hidden in the shadows, observing the movements of the Dream Demon Ancestor. Compared with the normal actions of the Realm Beasts, it was indeed quite smooth.

More than a thousand years ago, the Dream Demon Ancestor arrived at the region shown on the map, a place rich in treasures—the Dark Land.

Mohe arrived nearby early, but did not choose to take action immediately.

Because once the fighting begins, regardless of whether the Dream Demon Ancestor chooses to submit or refuses to yield, the battle will end in an instant.

To prevent information about the Beast Realm from leaking out, Mohe only gave the Dream Demon Ancestor a moment to catch his breath after offering the option of submission. If the Dream Demon Ancestor did not stop hesitating and choose to agree in that short moment, he would kill him even if it meant wasting the origin of a small universe.

Killing the Dream Demon Ancestor prematurely would also mean abandoning the possibility of three more of the universe's strongest beings arriving in the Hao Lei Star Master's plan.

Having witnessed the three eggs of the Lord of Haolei Star, Mohe knew that everyone is different and could not guarantee that the Dream Demon Ancestor would choose to submit.

So he ordered the Lord of Haolei Star to use treasures as bait to lure the Dream Demon Ancestor to linger in this hunting ground of his for a thousand years.

And now, the message has finally arrived.

Following the safe shortcut on that map of the Peak Realm, the two of them will arrive here in no more than two thousand years.

For Mohe, holding off the Dream Demon Ancestor for another two or three thousand years is not a difficult problem.

Time passed slowly.

Immersed in the joy of acquiring several supreme treasures in a short period of time, the Dream Demon Ancestor was unaware of the approaching danger.

At this moment, believing himself to be in a safe treasure-hunting paradise, the Dream Demon Ancestor's face gradually turned fervent.

"In just one thousand years, I've discovered three supreme treasures!"

"If we continue exploring, we're sure to discover treasures of the highest caliber!"

"If we can acquire several supreme treasures on this trip, my demon race will surely rise again!"

However, although the Dream Demon Ancestor was overjoyed, he still did not dare to even think of taking revenge on the God of Time and Space.

Let alone the God of Time and Space, he was unwilling to provoke even humans who were suspected of being related to the God of Time and Space.

The so-called rise is nothing more than wanting to be second only to humanity, content with being the second-largest being in the primitive universe.

There was no other reason than that he was terrified of being killed by Hunzhen.

Deep down, the Dream Demon Ancestor could not imagine that he or the demon race would have the possibility of rebelling against and seeking revenge against the God of Time and Space.

He just wanted to stay far away from that person, preferably not letting the other person see even a hair on his head.

"Um?"

Suddenly, the Dream Demon Ancestor frowned.

The latest novel is first published here!

He sensed two familiar auras rapidly approaching from the direction he had come from.

Upon recognizing the identities of those involved, the Dream Demon Ancestor's expression instantly changed drastically: "The Zerg Queen, and the Demon Ancestor!"

The next moment, that panic turned into ruthlessness.

"No, don't panic!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor glanced at his spoils and muttered to himself, "With my familiarity with the terrain and this recently acquired supreme domain-type treasure, I might just be able to turn the tables!"

Thinking this, the Dream Demon Ancestor still felt somewhat resentful.

Thinking that if these two had arrived a little later, and he had obtained a supreme treasure palace, he would have been invincible even against the two strongest beings in the universe!

"I really wish I could touch (treasure) for another hundred years!"

The detection abilities of the strongest beings in the universe are all roughly equal. Just as the Dream Demon Ancestor was feeling resentful and indignant, the Demon Ancestor and the other two also discovered the existence of the Dream Demon Ancestor.

The Zerg Queen, whose senses were slightly more acute, noticed the Dream Demon Ancestor's action of unleashing the most powerful domain-type treasure even before the Demon Ancestor did, and her eyes lit up immediately.

She exclaimed excitedly, "It's the most powerful and precious treasure!"

Unexpectedly, the Lord of the Narrow Pass was not lying to them; the map was real!

While excited and delighted, a wicked thought also flashed through the Zerg Queen's mind: "There are only the three of us here now. If we could kill that Demon Ancestor here as well, at least all the supreme treasures that the Dream Demon Ancestor has plundered during this time would be mine! Unfortunately, besides the three of us, the Human Giant Axe also knows about this map. Once the Giant Axe discovers that the universes of the Demon Ancestor and the Dream Demon Ancestor are shattered, and only my universe is intact, he will easily make connections, and I basically won't be able to make a fortune in silence..."

The Demon Ancestor, standing nearby, shared a similar thought.

As the Dream Demon Ancestor looked at the two who were still coveting his treasures at the moment of battle, a mocking expression flashed across his face.

However, just as he was expending his divine power to activate the treasure, a large number of black curves emerged from the void and suddenly enveloped him, forming a black cocoon.

This scene immediately stunned both the Demon Ancestor and the Zerg Queen, who were about to make their move.

"What's going on?"

Before the two could react, the three great world beast servants of the Hao Lei Star Lord had already appeared and surrounded them.

Meanwhile, inside the black cocoon.

That power, completely opposite in nature to divine power, invaded the Dream Demon Ancestor's body, triggering his endless fear.

"Surrender or die. I'm giving you only one chance."

A hideous monster, entirely black and naked, with two heads, each with a single eye, two hands and two feet, a mouth and a nose, and no ears or eyebrows, appeared before the Dream Demon Ancestor.

The Dream Demon Ancestor was inexplicably shocked simply by witnessing its existence.

A stream of information instantly flooded into the mind of the Dream Demon Ancestor.

This made him realize that only by accepting the power of this strange monster without resistance and completing the transformation of his life would the other party let him go.

The instinct of the strongest being in the universe, or perhaps the deep conscious influence of the primordial cosmic will to prevent betrayal from its own side, made the Dream Demon Ancestor realize that accepting the other's power would have consequences far worse than becoming a soul slave!

"Is it even more miserable than becoming a soul slave?"

"But if you don't submit now, death is the only outcome!"

A fierce internal struggle was taking place in the mind of the Dream Demon Ancestor in an instant.

Finally, it turned into a low roar.

He launched a sudden soul attack on Mohe.

"Is this your choice?"

Mohe looked coldly at the Dream Demon Ancestor, and the black curve instantly annihilated him into dust.

The Demon Ancestor and the Insect Queen, who were locked in battle with the Lord of Hao Lei Star, then discovered the traces of the Dream Demon Ancestor's fall, as well as the proud figure of Mo He standing there.

The next moment, Mohe turned his head, his gaze as intense as black lightning piercing towards him.

The words that the Dream Demon Ancestor had heard, filled with majesty, destruction, and death, flooded into his mind.

"Surrender or die. I'm only giving you one chance."

escape!

An immense fear instantly enveloped the two of them.

Without even a moment's mourning for the fall of the Dream Demon Ancestor, the one who immediately turned and fled the battlefield was the supreme and sole leader of the Prison Clan, the domineering practitioner—the Demon Ancestor.

……

Before a wormhole in the vast ocean of space.

hum--.

A towering figure emerged from within.

He looked like a human being who was feeling euphoric after rewarding himself, but this expression wasn't something he deliberately made; it was his normal expression.

He looked around and compared his surroundings with the landmarks around him, then decided to head towards the next spatial wormhole.

Suddenly, he looked out at a magnificent, enormous miniature universe.

"This is the miniature universe of the Dream Demon Ancestor, which was gathered up by the God of Time and Space. I pass through here every time I go to the Space Ship, but why does it feel a bit off this time?"

The Lord of Bashi muttered to himself that because of the distance and the fact that the Dream Demon Ancestor's small universe had only just begun to collapse, the internal space had completely collapsed and some cracks and holes had appeared on the surface. However, the overall shape remained intact, and the holes and cracks were very small and inconspicuous from a distance.

only……

The feeling it evokes is completely different now.

The miniature universe of the past was filled with majesty and vitality. But now, this miniature universe is devoid of any vitality or oppressive aura, which naturally makes the Lord of Bashi feel uneasy.

"Hmm?" The Lord of Bashu immediately teleported to a spot not far from the small universe.

"ah!!!"

The Lord of Bashu stared wide-eyed, his previously ethereal expression turning into one of sudden shock and dejection, a look that was actually the most astonished expression ever seen on his clan.

He looked at the enormous miniature universe before him, its surface marked with cracks and voids. Chaotic currents from the cosmic sea were pouring into it, and through the voids, he could see some collapsed and shattered continents inside.

"The miniature universe of the Dream Demon Ancestor has shattered!"

The owner of Bashizhi was instantly stunned.

Outside the membrane of the primordial universe, Hunzhen's avatar looked towards the small universes of the Demon Ancestor and the Zerg Queen.

A mocking smile appeared on his face.

"The Demon Ancestor has fallen, but the Zerg Queen has survived."

"Just like the future I foresee, the Zerg Queen has sided with the Beastmen."

The author didn't even mourn for the Demon Ancestor and the Dream Demon Ancestor for a moment before immediately releasing a new version of the fallen strongest warriors.
