Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 18

As a monster in a fantasy world, the Titan Serpent is enormous in size, but it is also quite fast. However, that is only true for beings at lower levels. Among beings of the same level, smaller beings are naturally far superior to larger ones in terms of agility and speed.

With five times the effort, Lu Yunhe's various stats undoubtedly reached the peak of the God of War.

Bang!

A force of over 500,000 kilograms slammed into the Titanoboa's head, slamming its raised head into the ground.

"But it doesn't seem like it broke through their defenses much!"

The Titan Python shuddered, dissipating most of the force Lu Yunhe had struck it with. The remaining force had no effect on its over 100-meter-long body.

However, Lu Yunhe's actions had completely enraged the Titan Python, which unleashed a terrifying tail whip that swept across a space of nearly a hundred meters in radius.

Feeling the power of the Titanoboa, Lu Yunhe dared not take it head-on and instantly created a distance of over a hundred meters to dodge the tail strike.

"So this is a Lord-level monster!"

Having personally faced off against lord-level monsters (who were instantly defeated when using Ultraman's power), Lu Yunhe instantly realized that he had underestimated the monsters' strength.

Humans exert their power based on their level of strength, then enhance their power-generating techniques and weapons, while monsters have their size to enhance their power, their talents to compensate for their skills, and their flesh and blood to withstand their equipment.

A high-level lord monster is comparable to a high-level war god who possesses powerful techniques and weaponry, rather than simply being a being with sufficient strength.

The five-fold increase in power merely set the bar for Lu Yunhe to stand at the same level as him.

Chapter 27 Jungle Trials

"Unfortunately, all of the above differences only apply to ordinary people, but I have an Ultraman clone!"

Lu Yunhe's exceptionally high level of consciousness allowed him to absorb all the data of the Titan Python before him into his mind.

He then slowly drew Guan Hong from his waist, and taking advantage of the Titan Serpent's waning power, he shot out like an arrow once more.

hiss~

Seeing that Lu Yunhe not only did not leave, but also dared to launch a counterattack against him, the Titan Serpent's eyes gradually filled with anger, and the next moment its entire body began to coil up.

The Titanoboa's enormous body, coiled up like a mosquito coil, began to move rapidly.

幻！

The Titanoboa's slithering body, combined with the strange patterns on its skin, can produce a hallucinogenic effect, leaving those who see it feeling disoriented.

However, this hallucinogenic effect was completely useless against Lu Yunhe's planetary-level consciousness and good state of mind, and could not even cause the slightest interference.

area!

However, this hallucinogenic attack was merely the prelude to the Titanoboa's attack, and its constantly moving body became increasingly rapid.

Gradually, as Lu Yunhe approached the Titanoboa, he felt the surrounding air being squeezed towards him, creating a strong sense of spatial oppression.

Moreover, as the Titanoboa's swimming speed increased, the air compression also increased dramatically, and the excessive speed even filled the air with abnormal wind blades.

This is the Titan Serpent's innate talent, Death Constriction. While its ability itself isn't particularly special, it's one of the most suitable talents for it, helping it kill countless enemies along the way.

"Not bad talent!"

Lu Yunhe couldn't help but agree, this Titan Serpent was indeed worthy of the strength of a high-level lord, its hallucination and strangulation process was so complete that it was difficult to fight against it.

If it were any other ordinary War God, a single attack would have left it either dead or severely wounded, but unfortunately, it encountered Lu Yunhe.

His understanding had already reached the realm level, and although he was limited by his realm strength and could not fully utilize it, it still allowed his movement technique to completely surpass the realm level.

(Basic, subtle, perfect, artistic conception, domain, law, world projection, law domain, spacetime control...)

With his overwhelming level of skill, Lu Yunhe could directly see through the loopholes in the death strangulation and discern the slightest gaps created by the Titan Serpent's movements.

break!

Holding the Guan Hong sword, Lu Yunhe cleaved through the surrounding air like a rainbow piercing the sun, carrying a force of over 500,000 kilograms, and once again thrust it directly at the Titan Serpent's body.

However, the monster covered in equipment also demonstrated its physical strength at this moment. Even weapons made of A-grade metal could only penetrate the blade after being weakened by snake scales and skin, and it was difficult to spread the power inside.

"I'm starting to understand why the massive divine bodies in the Devouring Stars universe have such a strong advantage."

Feeling the piercing rainbow penetrating the Titan Serpent's body, Lu Yunhe did some quick calculations. If he continued attacking like this, he was more likely to be killed by the serpent due to exhaustion before he could actually kill it.

Even after being weakened through various means, the power injected into the Titan Serpent still made it react, and its massive body instantly swam towards Lu Yunhe's location.

Lu Yunhe didn't want to take a direct hit from the other side, so he pushed off with his feet and quickly ran towards the snake's head.

"The body is indeed large, but it is neither an energy body nor an immortal divine body, so it still has all the weaknesses that are expected."

Lu Yunhe ran swiftly across the Titan Serpent's body, his Guanhong sword constantly colliding with the serpent's scales, sparking bursts of light as he openly displayed his purpose.

Sensing the danger, the Titanoboa was not to be outdone, writhing, its skin trembling, and constricting in a deadly manner...

Faced with the threat of death, the Titanoboa used all its abilities, unleashing its talents and power to the fullest extent.

However, at Lu Yunhe's domain-level realm, no matter what methods the Titan Python used, it could not stop his advance.

Beat the snake to play seven inches!

This "seven inches" refers to the area slightly below the head, where the snake's heart resides.

In less than a second, Lu Yunhe reached the designated location and could vaguely feel a vibration—the beating of his heart.

Without hesitation, Lu Yunhe suddenly exerted his strength, simultaneously using his hidden force technique. Even after being weakened by the layers of skin, the remaining power still struck the heart of the Titan Serpent.

click!

The Titanoboa's massive body was instantly stiffened by the violent impact to its heart, and the entire snake came to a standstill.

Lu Yunhe did not stop after taking a step. Instead, he used the momentum to leap forward. For the Titanoboa, hitting the heart was unlikely to be fatal, but hitting the head would definitely kill it.

"open!"

With a light leap, Lu Yunhe crossed a distance of more than ten meters and landed on the head of the Titan Python. At the same time, he drew a perfect crescent moon with his Guan Hong sword, slicing open the python's head.

Through the crack, Lu Yunhe could vaguely see the brain of the Titan Serpent beneath his feet.

Ignoring the wails of the Titan Serpent beneath his feet, Lu Yunhe used the Piercing Rainbow Sword to cut through the gap, slicing hundreds of times into the serpent's head until its brain was completely shattered.

After smashing the Titanoboa's head, Lu Yunhe leaped to the side again, quietly watching the python's body struggle.

As expected of a high-ranking lord, even with its brains completely shattered, the Titan Serpent's body continued to thrash about for several hours before finally calming down.

After watching the Titanoboa's body thrash about for a while, Lu Yunhe slowly walked forward. In this environment, the body of a high-level lord was wasted, but he was quite interested in the snake's gallbladder, which was unique to snakes.

After disemboweling the Titanoboa, Lu Yunhe finally found a black object the size of a human head.

"Can I eat it?"

Lu Yunhe said uncertainly, but in the end he gritted his teeth and cut off a small piece to taste it.

As the snake gall bladder was swallowed, a bitter taste rose up, followed by waves of warmth that swept through the body, especially around the eyes.

Having realized the effects of the snake gall, Lu Yunhe didn't stand on ceremony. After washing it, he started eating it directly. The snake gall didn't enhance his physical strength much, increasing his strength by less than 10,000. Its main benefits were strengthening his eyes, allowing him to see more clearly, and increasing his body's resistance to poison.

After swallowing a high-level lord-grade snake gall, most of the poisons in the jungle became ineffective against him.

"Good luck!"

Feeling the changes in his body, Lu Yunhe nodded in satisfaction and continued his journey into the jungle.

In the vast Amazon rainforest, Lu Yunhe encountered all sorts of strange monsters, some of which almost caused him to lose his life. For example, there was a swarm of army ants, with average warrior-level strength, but their numbers were unbelievable.

The monstrous poisonous frog, with its sonic waves and poisonous mist, would have almost died there if it hadn't eaten the gallbladder of the Titanoboa earlier.

It even fought a planetary-level king-class monster from 800 meters away, exchanging skills to a draw...

Chapter 28 Intelligent Optical Brain

Lu Yunhe's human clone is training in the Amazon rainforest, while his Ultraman clone travels to various ancient ruins around the world.

"Civilization Relic No. 8, Undersea Spaceship!"

Following the map's markings, Lu Yunhe controlled Ultraman's avatar of light and plunged directly into the depths of the ocean, ten thousand meters below. At this point, the conflict between humans and monsters had not yet disturbed this world.

The fact that all of them were enhanced is the same as none of them being enhanced. The various sea monsters that have not yet developed a large enough gap continue to live in their old way.

"found it!"

With a fairly accurate location, Ultraman's clone quickly found the spaceship that was sleeping at the bottom of the sea.

This is a spaceship discovered by a human underwater probe before the Great Cataclysm. However, with the technology available to humanity at that time, we were still helpless in exploring the deep ocean, let alone after the Great Cataclysm.

So after the discovery, they simply marked the location and waited for the technology to improve before exploring it again.

The reason Ultraman's clone chose this place is naturally because this ruin has never been explored by humans, and perhaps some good things have been left behind.

At this moment, the spaceship has been occupied by a king-level sea octopus, which has made it its home.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Ultraman's clone easily chased away the giant octopus as easily as swatting away a mosquito, and then used his telekinesis to find the spaceship's door.

Gulu gulu...

With a series of bubbling sounds, Ultraman's clone burst into the spaceship.

Whether it was because the spaceship was too low-level or because it was old and in disrepair, there were no laser attacks in the passage.

"It seems to be just an ordinary spaceship."

Ultraman's clone searched inside the spaceship, but almost everything had been corroded by time, leaving nothing behind, not even a single bone.

Just when Ultraman's clone was extremely disappointed, he finally found a wristband in the spaceship's control room.

"Could it be an intelligent optical computer?!"

Ultraman's mind stirred, recalling the method of the auxiliary light brain recognizing its master in the original work. Out of caution, he directly transformed into his aerial form and carefully infused his spirit into the wristband with twice the amplification of his mental power.

With the penetration of his mental power, Ultraman's clone easily discovered a crystal core in the wristband.

After seeing the crystal core with telekinesis, a pre-programmed scene appeared in the eyes of Ultraman's clone.

"****..."

The scene shows a human who looks very similar to an Earthling, speaking a bunch of words that Ultraman's clone can't understand, probably a universal language.
