Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 458

As for the beast soldier armor and beast general armor, they were for the subordinates; they needed to be armed, after all.

Lu Yunhe mainly targets Saint-level or even Demigod-level beings, only those are worth taking action against.

However, not all of these entities occupy large territories and become local rulers.

Like a three-headed firebird, it occupied this active volcano, and there were no monsters around.

Even if some occupy an area, the area is actually not large because it is not very useful.

Most of them are ordinary demonic beasts and extraordinary demonic beasts, which make up the majority of the number and area.

Faced with these weak elements, it's not feasible to make him personally take action, otherwise there would be no point in having his underlings. More importantly, he wouldn't be able to handle it all.

Lu Yunhe was responsible for handling high-end combat forces, the overall expansion of the force, and low-end coverage, which he had to delegate to his subordinates.

"With these treasures, and after subduing another batch of Saint-level demonic beasts, and operating for a period of time, we should be able to effectively rule the entire Demonic Beast Forest, and the number of people who believe in the God of Ultra will also increase," Lu Yunhe thought to himself.

Compared to the few Saint-level demonic beasts, ordinary animals and low-level demonic beasts with little strength were his main targets, and even the core of his power.

"Little bird, from now on you will be the one to guard this sacred mountain."

Lu Yunhe carefully put away all the weapons and equipment, then said to the three-headed firebird beside him.

This time, he squeezed too much of the power of heaven and earth within the volcano during the crafting of the treasure. It will take some time to recover, so he cannot carry out the extreme crafting.

"Yes!"

The three-headed firebird said respectfully, while also finding it somewhat strange, as it seemed to have always been obediently staying in the volcano.

However, after Lu Yunhe's modifications, the power of heaven and earth in the volcano is now at least twice as strong as before, and the three-headed firebird is also more comfortable than before.

After subduing the three-headed firebird, Lu Yunhe began to traverse the monster forest, setting his sights on the Saint-level monsters.

Demigods do not appear; saints reign supreme.

Unfortunately, under Lu Yunhe's iron fist, these Saint-level demonic beasts, which were incomparably powerful in the eyes of outsiders, had no ability to resist at all.

Everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, or swims in the water—all living things are under his control.

Moreover, with the virtual universe detection of the red ball, he also captured some of the hidden monsters one by one and marked them all with the red ball symbol.

At first, these demonic beasts were quite bewildered when Lu Yunhe came to their door. However, after his three-part combo of skills, they all went from unwillingly submitting to giving their all for their king.

Occasionally, when he encountered some who were truly unwilling to listen to advice and submit, Lu Yunhe would not hold it against them, but would directly extract their bones and marrow, and even their souls.

The body of a Saint-level demon beast is quite valuable, especially for a low-level demon beast.

After Lu Yunhe subdued all the high-level demonic beasts, the White Snake and the Golden Toad, dressed in beast general armor, led their underlings to clean up the entire demonic beast forest.

Originally, the different levels of monsters were often clearly distinguished, since there was no need to exploit those below them to gain benefits.

The two parties did not have strong conflicts of interest, and therefore there was no real relationship of domination between them.

But now, Lu Yunhe needs these ordinary lives, so the monsters in the entire area are in trouble.

In just ten years, although Lu Yunhe's improvement speed was extremely exaggerated, there was actually not much change for the monsters under his command.

Aside from those who were already at a bottleneck and made a breakthrough through this opportunity, the White Snake and Golden Toad also reached the peak of the Earth Rank. However, once they put on the Beast General Armor, they directly possessed strength comparable to the Extraordinary Rank.

Furthermore, some Saint-level demonic beasts that had subordinates also relinquished their command.

Under the will of Lu Yunhe and numerous Saint-level demonic beasts, large numbers of demonic beasts were completely brought under the rule of the virtual network.

When encountering some monsters with a strong will to resist, even the Saint-level monsters will personally take action.

These extraordinary monsters are not like Lu Yunhe; under the power of a Saint-level being, they have no ability to resist at all.

At the same time, a large amount of heaven and earth treasures were being continuously sent to Lu Yunhe's location.

Despite their small quantity, these so-called treasures of heaven and earth, which Lu Yunhe originally looked down upon, could still accelerate his cultivation speed for his avatar, which was only at the Transcendent Realm at the moment.

With his subordinates growing in number, Lu Yunhe also confirmed the name of the power he had established in this universe.

"The Eternal Divine Dynasty!"

"Believe in Ultraman, and you will gain eternal life and be free from the cycle of reincarnation!"

"eternal life!"

"eternal life!"

A group of monsters were waving flags and shouting, feeling the wonder of the virtual universe network, and they felt that immortality was not impossible.

"First, we'll completely conquer the Demon Beast Forest, use its resources to cultivate to the Saint rank, and then forge a Beast God Armor. Then we can try to expand outwards."

Lu Yunhe arrived at the Divine Dynasty's resource storage point and began to devour various cultivation resources.

The resources that would be enough to elevate a person to the Saint rank would only allow King Orb Mengs to take a small step forward at the Extraordinary level, given his two clones who also needed to be nurtured, thus increasing his demand for resources.

There's no way around it; the world is based on matter, and no matter how high your spiritual level, you still have to honestly absorb the energy of heaven and earth.

The cyan behemoth lay on the ground, digesting the resources it had devoured, while a shadow moved silently in the corner.

hum!

Silently and without color, a black figure suddenly pierced out from Lu Yunhe's shadow.

The shadowy figure held a dagger in its hand; the metallic dagger seemed to have the effect of absorbing light.

"Such a large size, but under the curse of the God-Slaying Dagger, size is meaningless."

The shadowy figure looked at the enormous creature before it, which resembled a small mountain, and hesitated slightly.

Compared to the other person, his body was probably not even worth a single hair on the other person's leg.

However, gripping the Divine Severing Dagger tightly in his hand, a sense of confidence welled up within him.

As long as someone is cut by the dagger in his hand, the cursed poison will instantly spread along the wound to the entire body, and he only needs to wait quietly.

"Shadow Domain, activate!"

The shadowy figure's eyes were more determined than ever before. It moved through the shadows and suddenly thrust out at the last moment, ready to end the life of the monster before it.

"shadow?"

"Where there is light, there is shadow!"

A deep voice rang in the shadowy figure's ear, and to its horror, a bony finger blocked the dagger.

"what?"

The shadowy figure was horrified, finding it hard to understand how the other party had discovered him. Even a slightly weaker demigod could only detect him when it made its move.

What made it even more unacceptable was that the other party blocked its dagger with just one finger.

If the body is stronger than weapons, then weapons are essentially meaningless.

"run!"

The first thought was surprise, after all, the current situation was a completely new predicament that it had never experienced before.

The second thought was to escape; one of the principles of an assassin is to flee far away if the first strike fails.

As long as you can escape, you still have a chance to start over.

The shadowy figure curled up into a ball and disappeared into the shadows, then fled swiftly, running for countless kilometers before finally feeling relieved.

"Phew, it finally escaped. It was a monster; I'm afraid even a demigod would have to take action to deal with it."

The shadowy figure breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly felt that the shadow above seemed rather heavy.

Looking up, the dark figure froze in shock as a beastly claw, as large as a mountain, pressed silently down on it.

"Where do you think you're going to run to!"

Lu Yunhe stretched out his claws, and like a giant embroidering, he lifted the dark figure from the shadows.

Playing with shadows in front of him, don't you know that shadows are also part of the fundamental laws of light?

Lu Yunhe had discovered the assassin long ago, and then used the combination of the Law of Light and the Law of Space to fix the shadows around the assassin.

No matter how the shadowy figure tried to escape, it couldn't escape his grasp.

"What kind of monster are you?"

The shadowy assassin exclaimed in terror, feeling as if he had been targeted by a powerful demigod. He instinctively launched attacks in all directions, trying to break free of his restraints.

The black lines that cut off the light burst forth, attempting to sever the beast's claws before them.

"act recklessly!"

Lu Yunhe grasped the beast claw, and endless air explosions resounded in his hand.

His entire body was already in their grasp, with no way to escape or defend himself. The shadowy assassin was immediately subjected to a series of explosions, leaving him dazed and disoriented, his soul dimmed.

Then, a red light flashed in Lu Yunhe's eyes, and a surge of soul power directly invaded the mind of the shadowy assassin, examining his memories.

"They're demons..."

Lu Yunhe was somewhat surprised, not expecting that he had also been targeted by the demons.

In fact, as Lu Yunhe defeated one Saint-level demon beast after another, he gradually came into the sights of those who were interested.

After all, Saints are second only to Demigods, and there are connections between them.

The only reason they were a little slow was because the Demon Beast Forest was located at the border between the human and demon races, where there was some bickering between them, and they hadn't yet figured out King Oubmengs's background.

The demons had already planted many spies among the human race, and upon discovering such a powerful figure, they did not hesitate and immediately dispatched a Saint-level assassin.

Demigods are not to be trifled with, and Saint-level demon assassins are already somewhat overpowered. Since their emergence, they have rarely failed.

This time, however, he was unlucky and encountered Lu Yunhe, who was even more extraordinary. He was captured in one strike and had no ability to resist at all.

At the same time, Lu Yunhe discovered interesting information in the mind of the demon assassin.

"Come out!"

Lu Yunhe, holding the half-dead demon assassin, lazily spoke to the air.

"Such keen perception."

A demon with a single blue horn on his forehead emerged from the space, looking at Lu Yunhe with a smile and a somewhat fiery expression.

"Your Excellency, you are not a demon, or rather, you are not from the Qingyang World!"

The demigod Qingjiao's voice trembled. Originally, he only wanted to provide his subordinates with a backup plan in case it was a conspiracy between the human and demon races.

After all, humans and demons have done this kind of thing many times, and it has caused the demons a lot of losses.
