Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 940

The reason why the War King and the Four Demon Generals are not considered ordinary Gold-level is because they have the power to kill Gold-level beings in a short period of time, or even prevent them from escaping.

Especially the combined power of the four demon generals, which even frightened Ancestor Stan and others, was practically designed to target gold-level professionals.

In just a few exchanges, the demons sensed the unstoppable decline in the aura of their two teammates.

The demons, who had been so aggressive just moments before, were now starting to panic.

Although they are subordinates of the Abyss Lord, they are too far away to provide any support.

"Is the main world really that terrifying? Such a terrifying being exists even in such a remote corner," the horned demon exclaimed in panic.

"So strong!"

Compared to the terrified demons, Captain Lei was also somewhat surprised. He never expected that Blackwater City in reality would be so terrifying.

If Blackwater City in the dream was like this, how could its main city have been directly breached?

"It is indeed a dream!"

...

Chapter 838 Annihilation of the Upper-Rank Demons

"It really was just a dream!"

Captain Lei looked at his incredibly capable teammates, and he didn't even have a chance to make a move. All he had to do was block the demons that were trying to escape.

"Demon, die!"

Captain Lei was full of confidence. Although he probably couldn't kill the demon in front of him with his strength, he could still have some fun talking about it.

Even among those at the same Gold level, the difficulty of single-handedly killing someone of the same level is not low. If one can kill them in a short time, then that person is considered a top-tier individual.

The professionals were aggressive, while the demons were somewhat flustered.

boom!

Just then, a deafening sound rang out, and surging chaotic power emanated, forcing even the closest professionals to retreat.

"So fast!"

Captain Lei was also drawn by the commotion. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the Four Demon Generals had already dealt with a high-ranking demon.

That terrifying and powerful high-ranking demon died so easily at the hands of the four demon generals. The speed was so fast that Captain Lei and the others couldn't even tell who was winning or losing.

"If it were me, I'm afraid I would have ended up the same way."

Captain Lei swallowed hard, realizing for the first time that even a Gold-level expert was nothing special in the face of a true powerhouse.

In that dream, one wondered what price the main city would have to pay to deal with a high-ranking demon.

However, at this moment, the infamous high-ranking demon was as easily crushed as a roadside creature.

"If the Heavenly King's personally trained subordinates possess such strength, what about the Heavenly King himself?" Captain Lei wondered.

These four demon generals looked abnormal; they were practically humanoid puppets.

If the puppets you've trained all possess such power, your master must be close to becoming a legend.

"No wonder the ancestors didn't resist the influence of the lower city at all. I wouldn't dare either," Captain Lei said with a sudden realization.

If they didn't want to be under someone else's control, the ancestors would probably have surrendered long ago and wouldn't be so conflicted now. After all, those who came to this remote area didn't want to become someone else's subordinates.

However, after stumbling around in this remote area for so many years without much success, becoming a direct subordinate of a legendary figure wouldn't be a bad thing.

However, Captain Lei felt that the Heavenly King should not have reached the Legendary Realm yet, otherwise Blackwater City would not be in its current state.

The four demon generals killed a high-ranking demon in a short time, instantly shocking the professionals and demons present.

"General Bull, perhaps we should try to retreat first," the Flame Demon transmitted to the Bull-Horned Demon, his voice trembling slightly.

Because the Flame Demon sensed that it was being targeted by these four demon generals. It seemed like it was next.

"this!"

The bull-horned demon also misspoke. Although he was not afraid of death, he should at least have seen some hope.

As human resources arrived, the demons were forced into a disadvantageous position.

Seemingly sensing the demons' thoughts, the four demon generals immediately spread out, standing at the four corners of the battlefield, surrounding all the gold-level professionals and high-ranking demons.

"The four elements unite as one!"

The four forces of earth, water, fire, and wind spread out once more, evolving into the power to create the world and directly forming a simplified version of a legendary realm.

In an instant, the world turned upside down, and an invisible force of heaven and earth pressed down on the high-ranking demons, restraining their power.

Meanwhile, their own professionals were empowered by the power of heaven and earth, making them stronger in every move they made.

"They actually wanted to wipe us out."

The bull-horned demon looked grim, not wanting to give them any chance at all. "Humans have such big appetites, aren't they afraid of getting hurt?"

Professionals say: They have good teeth and are not afraid of bumping into things.

Under the pressure of the four demon generals, the remaining high-ranking demons instantly gathered together, looking after each other and warily observing the professionals.

Just as the high-ranking demons were gathering, another high-ranking demon was left alone.

"I don't know why, but whenever I see you, I feel an urge to be angry."

Looking at the miserable demon before him, the War King couldn't help but frown despite his surging battle intent.

He was certain that he had never met this demon before and had no recollection of it whatsoever.

He chose this demon as soon as he arrived, driven by a deep-seated restlessness that urged him to kill it.

"Haha, maybe I killed you in my past life." Fire One replied casually. Naturally, it didn't recognize the War King at all. Before this, it had never even been to the main world.

"Although I really want to keep you here, you are too dangerous. You should just die."

Although some strange emotions arose within him, he did not interrupt the War King's decision.

Don't be fooled by his ability to crush this high-ranking demon; it's only a suppression of strength. If he lets the demon live, something he doesn't want to see could happen if he's not careful.

"bring it on!"

Huo Yi held its head high, feeling that it was very unlucky. As soon as it arrived in the main world, it encountered such a powerful being that it couldn't even escape.

Since there's no escaping it, the only option is to die with as much dignity as possible.

"Go to hell, I'll make sure you die without any pain."

The War King drew his bow with both hands, and the blood and qi armor on his body, extremely concentrated, emitted a golden hue, like a dazzling sun.

boom……

With a swift movement, the War King unleashed a surge of powerful blood energy that transformed into an invisible gravitational force, firmly binding the demon opposite him.

Then, with a powerful punch, he shot towards Huo Yi like an arrow released from a bow.

"Fire One!"

Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of the other demons.

The horned demons wanted to go and provide support, but before they could even set off, they were stopped by the professionals.

"If you want rescue, you'll have to get past us." Captain Lei blocked the higher-ranking demons, preventing them from passing.

"Shadow Fiend!"

The horned demon roared, for at this moment, only the Shadow Fiend could help the flames.

However, the Shadow Demon, hiding in the shadows, watched the power unleashed by the War King on the other side and dared not go up to stop him.

With its small size, one punch would probably render it helpless.

The Shadow Demon doesn't want to trade its life for the life of another demon, and might not even be able to save it; it's a deal it's destined to lose.

Without any obstruction, the War King punched Huo Yi.

Even in his dying moments, the latter was still thinking of retaliating. He transformed into a star, wanting to explode and perish together with his enemy.

However, since his essence had already been dissipated by the War King, his movements were still too slow.

Before it even self-destructed, a fist brimming with fighting spirit had already slammed into its body.

The soaring fighting spirit instantly disrupted Huo Yi's mind, and finally, the terrifying power condensed into a ball, annihilating Huo Yi's essence.

A demon that had self-destructed was annihilated by the War King.

"call!"

The War King blew on his slightly charred fist, feeling an unprecedented sense of relief, as if a huge boulder had been lifted from his heart. However, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

In the instant he slew the flames, the War King saw the destruction of a city, a city that looked remarkably similar to the current Heavenly King City… except for the city's name…

"War King City?"

The War King remembered this familiar name. Ever since he joined the Heavenly King, his War King City had been renamed Heavenly King City.

Since the Heavenly King rarely interfered in affairs, the War King did not build a new city but stayed in Heavenly King City to manage the entire lower city on behalf of the Heavenly King.

"Could Heavenly King City be destroyed?"

Even the War King found the thought somewhat amusing.

Let alone these demons, even if the Abyss Lord behind them were to descend, they wouldn't be able to breach the Heavenly King City personally guarded by the Lord.

"It's probably just my imagination!"

The War King shook his head. Perhaps it was a curse cast by the demon before it died; demons just love to do this kind of thing.

Having slain a high-ranking demon, the War King's surging fighting spirit showed no sign of diminishing, and he glared menacingly at the high-ranking demons on the other side.

"Fireball is dead too!"

The bull-horned demon swallowed hard. How long had it been? They had already lost two of their generals, and hadn't even caused the enemy any trouble yet.

If this continues, these demons will likely be completely wiped out.

"This can't go on, we have to break through." The horned demon looked around, feeling utterly trapped with no way out.

Ten gold-level experts formed a formidable force, directly blocking the actions of the higher-ranking demons.
