Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 526

Exquisitely crafted, like the veins of a leaf, four golden cocoons were being nurtured within the void branches. Clearly, once successfully formed, they would become four golden-armored demons of destruction.

During this period, a great war broke out between the cultivators and the Destruction Clan. The Destruction Clan was under great pressure, after all, they only had one gold-level nest.

If it weren't for the fact that there were also a considerable number of Beast Warriors, the Destruction Clan would probably have been wiped out long ago, with their main force relying entirely on the Beast Warriors.

However, as the number of gold-level nests continues to increase, this situation will gradually reverse until the cultivators are completely driven out of the dimension of destruction.

With the discovery, or rather, the successful gestation of the second gold-level nest, Taotie made up its mind completely.

The Taotie slowly opened its massive maw, and a shadow gradually began to envelop the entire golden-level nest.

……

Destroy the core of the dimension!

The major beast kings were fully aware of Taotie's actions, and in fact, they had taken the initiative to propose this action.

After discovering that the Taotie possessed the talent of devouring, the Beast King of the Realm actively nurtured it, even at the cost of consuming his own destructive essence.

As expected, Taotie grew to the limit of Chaos Ruler in a short period of time.

However, the Beasts were powerless to become kings, so they suggested trying to devour a gold-level destruction nest, which might allow them to surpass their limits.

However, before that, they had discovered a gold-level nest, and they couldn't just abandon it rashly.

Now that we have a second one, the risk has been shared, and it's barely acceptable to take one out and try to cultivate it into a king.

Although the Golden Armored Destroyer Demon Clan was powerful, it was still no match for a true king.

"The Taotie have already started. If they fail, the losses will be quite severe," the World Beast said.

“That’s right. Without the replenishment of external resources, it would be difficult for us to nurture powerful warriors,” said the Beast of the Realm.

The outside was blocked by the God-King, making it difficult to get out. Although the Destruction Dimension was equivalent to another layer of chaotic void, it was still in its infancy and lacked resources.

Moreover, due to the powerful Beast Warriors, various resources are also indispensable.

However, in order to prepare for the possible war between the gods and kings, even if the world beasts are able to collect some resources, they must set aside most of them as reserves to deal with any potential conflict.

As a result, the importance of various destruction nests, especially gold-level destruction nests, is constantly rising in the minds of the world beasts.

Not to mention the Destruction Demons born from the Gold-level Nest, who still have a sliver of possibility of becoming kings.

However, putting this sliver of hope into Taotie isn't too bad.

"Jetton, how are things on your end? How much longer until you're out of the growth stage?" the clone of the Beast Origin asked with concern.

Unlike the world beasts who have already reached their peak and are not bothered by this environment, the world beast Zetton, which is still in its growth stage, obviously needs more resources.

Compared to the uncertainty surrounding the Taotie, the Realm Beast Zetton is almost certain to become a king, and a top-tier king at that. The Realm Beasts are clearly more concerned about it.

The previous battle of kings resulted in heavy losses, making any one of the realm beasts crucial.

"It's only been a few trillion epochs since it left the growth stage," said the World Beast Zetton lazily.

Ever since becoming the King of the Beasts, Zetton's clone has always believed that he can carry his teammates to victory.

However, once Ultraman's clones began to integrate the three thousand dimensions, explore the workings of the universe, and comprehend the fundamental principles of the universe, their understanding of these fundamental principles grew at an astonishing pace, as if they had been given flamethrowers, showing no signs of stopping.

As for the Beast Zetton, the Path of Destruction it comprehended did not work in conjunction with its other clones; it could only cultivate alone and could not ride the coattails of others.

The Beast Zetton was very suspicious. His other clones might even break through to the God King level before him, making his status as the Beast King seem fake.

"So fast!"

However, the other world beasts were all surprised when they heard this.

"It seems that Jaden's talent is probably the strongest among us."

"The Beast Lu exclaimed in surprise. As the one who guided the Beast Zetton, he was also very familiar with the other party."

In less than a hundred million epochs, he rose from Eternal True God to Chaos Ruler, and in a trillion epochs, he reached the peak of Chaos Ruler.

It takes trillions of epochs to get through the growth period and reach the peak period. It doesn't even take the time of a cycle. What kind of monster is this?

As for the Taotie, don't be fooled by its extremely fast cultivation speed; it's all due to trickery and has no reference value.

Just like how a World Beast can give birth to a Chaos Overlord warrior in a short period of time, does that prove that the warrior has talent?

The beasts present had all grown step by step, so they naturally understood just how incredible it was to be able to skip over a single reincarnation era.

The Beast Zetton felt it wasn't good enough because it was still overwhelmingly powerful compared to itself and others.

"Once Jaden reaches his peak, the pressure on us will be less."

The other beasts all said that they had been cornered by the God-Kings at their doorsteps, so they couldn't muster any jealousy at this point.

“Once Zetton grows up, a king will emerge from the Destruction Demon Clan, and then the situation can slowly be turned around,” World Beast Source said expectantly.

The key now is whether a king can emerge from among the Demon Race.

If that's not possible, then we can only place our hopes on the supreme rules.

No matter how many demons the Golden Armor destroyed, it wouldn't be enough to defeat the God-King on the cultivators' side.

In the first gold-level destruction nest, the Taotie fully revealed its devouring nature, gradually consuming the entire nest, including the destruction demons that were being conceived within.

Without reaching the King realm, the Destruction Demon race cannot escape the influence of the will to kill and destroy, and they have almost no feelings for their own kind.

Therefore, in order to become king as soon as possible, or even increase the chances of becoming king, Taotie is equally ruthless towards its companions who are in the process of being conceived.

The black abyss relentlessly pulls the nest of destruction into it, where a terrifying will is being nurtured.

The deep, dark darkness was so intense that even the Demon Clan of Destruction didn't want to approach it.

……

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, billions of epochs had passed.

"The Destruction Demons and World Beast Warriors have been much calmer lately, which means they have suffered heavy losses."

Inside the Void Fortress, the divine avatars of the Chaos Overlords were also conversing among themselves.

The void was so vast that many cultivators left divine avatars in the void fortresses before heading there, so that they could exchange information at any time.

"They might be plotting something; we can't let our guard down."

One of the Chaos Rulers spoke, which drew agreement from the crowd.

"It can't be that he's preparing to break through to the God King level, can it?" a top-tier Eternal True God laughed.

"Hahaha...How could that be!" Everyone laughed.

"You were absolutely right."

Greza split his mind and body, and ever since their last encounter, Taotie had been trying to devour a gold-level destruction nest, beginning its charge towards becoming a God-King.

In order to calm down and break through, Taotie also cut off all contact with the outside world, and even the world beasts did not know its specific situation.

But even after all this time, there's still no news of success.

However, becoming a God-King is difficult in itself, and it has only been a short time, so the Beasts of the Realm are not in a hurry, at least no bad news of failed breakthroughs has been reported.

"I hope it doesn't succeed!"

Greza cursed inwardly, thinking that although he was just a God-King and not even a Beast King, he couldn't cause any real trouble.

However, he still had some conflicts with his opponent and naturally did not want to see his opponent break through first.

……

Destroy the void dimension!

Greza's clone walked along the threads of time and space, accumulating insights into the Dao of the Void little by little.

Besides his expertise in the Four Elements of Heaven and Earth, he has gradually caught up in his understanding of the other branches of the Void Dao, including completing the secret techniques that had been his biggest weakness.

With his profound understanding of the Void Dao and combined with secret techniques, his strength completely surpassed that of the Chaos Ruler.

With a spatial distortion, Greiza's clone was instantly teleported to another area.

"what!"

Greza's clone sensed a group of silver-armored Destruction Demons instantly through space.

"Looks like we'll be able to harvest another batch of Origin Crystals." Greiza's clone instantly attacked, distorting space and wiping out the entire team of silver-armored Destruction Demons.

A dozen or so Origin Crystals were scattered in the void. Then, the figure of Greiza's clone appeared. Just as he was about to step forward to catch the Origin Crystals, the figures of two golden-armored Destruction Demons and two World Beast Warriors also emerged from the darkness.

"who?"

The four members of the Destroyer Clan roared in fury, then fell silent upon seeing the newcomer.

"They actually managed to evade my detection!"

Greza's clone was also surprised. Although it was partly because he hadn't investigated carefully, with his level of cultivation, most of the hidden techniques would be useless with a casual scan.

"It's careless!"

Since his strength increased again, he has been able to run rampant throughout the entire Destruction Dimension. Unless he encounters a World Beast King, no one can stop him, so he has lost some of his vigilance.

"It's actually that guy, Void!"

On the other side, the Destruction Clan cursed inwardly when they saw that the newcomer was actually the Void Saint.

They would have been fearless if any other Chaos Ruler had come, but this one was someone they were completely outmatched.

And the most important thing is not that we can't beat them, but that we simply can't stop their Void Secret Technique.

Once the secret of this place was discovered, the four powerful members of the Destruction Clan exchanged glances and couldn't help but feel a sense of worry.

"Huh? They didn't run away?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Greiza's clone's eyes. These were just two Destruction Demons and two World Beast Warriors, none of whom even had a member from the ninth level of the Chaos Tower. Yet they didn't run away when they saw him.

Even if they were all tied together, they wouldn't be enough to defeat him. In the past, they should have run away long ago.

"Could it be?"

Greza's clone remained expressionless as a composite void crystal appeared in his hand, instantly encompassing the surrounding void.

The Eye of the Void is a detection technique created by touching the essence of the void, capable of taking in everything around it completely.

Soon, a deep black hole appeared in the center of the crystal, extremely conspicuous.

"Do it!"

Seeing this, the four members of the Destruction Clan did not hesitate and immediately took action.
