Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 711

The Lord of Stars, in particular, couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Lone Fire, why did you provoke him? You're really courting death."

Although the situation is now almost balanced, in order to withstand the attack of the Nine Absolutes Island Master, the four of them have also been going all out, and the damage is not small. They cannot last long.

If the process drags on for too long, even facing such a perfect cosmic god, there is only one way out: death.

"Speaking of which, our goal shouldn't be to kill the Lord of Nine Absolutes Island, right?"

The Chaotic Demon God, who was in the middle of the battle, looked at the actions of the other three and suddenly became puzzled.

Despite his usual chaotic demeanor, he becomes remarkably calm in the heat of battle.

However, when facing the Lord of Nine Absolutes Island, the Lord of Lone Fire Island acted as if he wanted to kill the former directly.

It seemed that under his influence, the Lord of Chaos City was also immersed in the battle, choosing to directly confront the Lord of Nine Absolutes Island's attacks with every move, as if he were using the latter to practice his moves.

The Chaotic Demon God was right; Lu Yunhe really was using the Nine Absolutes Island Master to hone his skills.

Having finally found a powerful expert at the Ultimate Realm, and with no need to worry about anything, plus teammates to share the burden, Lu Yunhe naturally wanted to test the strength of the Ultimate Realm expert.

“It’s really strong!”

The fact that even when these four top-tier cosmic gods joined forces, they were still suppressed by the Lord of Nine Absolutes Island shows the difference in their abilities, not to mention the invincible beings above them.

"But it's not like we can't fight back." Lu Yunhe thought to himself. After this exchange, he had a good understanding of the strength of the Ultimate Realm.

All the previous attempts to resist were just guesses in my mind; I had never actually experienced them.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated!

At the same time, seemingly realizing that he couldn't defeat Lu Yunhe and his group of four in a short time, the Nine Absolutes Island Master's offensive strategy suddenly changed, and his originally extremely restrained attack became mighty and powerful.

The Nine Absolutes Island Master's attack changed, forcing the other four to change their attacks as well.

In an instant, the battle, which was originally confined to one place, spread to the surrounding areas.

Various powerful attacks inadvertently bombarded the surrounding crystal wall system.

The semi-transparent, materialized space was constantly melting, like a liquid.

Unbeknownst to them, the five-person melee gradually moved towards the core of the crystal wall system.

As a cosmic god, his thinking speed is naturally not fast enough. Even when he is immersed in battle, he can still easily perceive the surrounding situation.

"Ugh!"

Seeing this, the Lord of Lone Fire Island sighed inwardly. It seemed that both sides realized they could not do anything to each other in the short term, and finally reached a tacit understanding, setting their sights on the legacy of the Yin Demon Lord.

The strength of the Lord of Stars and others has also been recognized by the Lord of Nine Absolutes Island. They cannot be killed in a short time, and their combined strength is enough to prevent him from accomplishing anything.

In that case, it would be better to wait until we see the real treasure before making a fuss.

"I don't believe that the four of you can maintain such perfect coordination when facing a real treasure?" The Nine Absolutes Island Master sneered inwardly. At that time, with his strength, he would still be able to maintain absolute control.

"It seems that the Lord of Nine Absolutes Island has given up on killing us!" The Lord of Stars breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to fight the Lord of Nine Absolutes Island to the death right now.

Their alliance just now was merely to demonstrate their strength and their ability to get a share of the pie.

Rumble…

Through the tireless efforts and relentless actions of the five individuals, the restrictions outside the core palace were gradually worn away, culminating in a final crack.

Like a piece of shattered amber, a palace exuding a chilling aura suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes, causing the entire battle to pause instantly.

……

Chapter 662 The Demon Lord of Yin Appears

"The Demon Lord's Palace!"

Looking at the magnificent palace before them, the five cosmic gods who had just been fighting to the death suddenly stopped moving, as if they had rehearsed it countless times.

Even the Lone Fire Island Master, who had always hated the Nine Absolutes Island Master, was no exception, since simply cultivating wouldn't offer any hope of revenge.

But within this Demon Lord's Palace, there might be a glimmer of hope for his revenge.

"We finally got in, but we didn't expect to be discovered by outsiders." The Nine Absolutes Island Master looked at the palace in front of him and sighed.

After being busy for so long, I ended up getting a ride on someone else's coattails.

"Stars, Chaos, if there's only one top-tier treasure inside, how do you plan to divide it? Or will you give it to Lone Fire and the other two?" the Nine Absolutes Island Master asked with a smile.

Dividing the spoils is a century-old human dilemma.

No matter how well things were planned beforehand, or how confident one's willpower is, few people can resist the temptation when faced with a real treasure.

Not to mention, this group, whose relationship was already so-so, had to unite to fight off the enemy together.

Upon hearing the words of the Nine Absolutes Island Master, the four people present did not change their expressions, but each had their own thoughts.

The open scheme is unsolvable. Even if the Demon Lord of Yin is powerful and has a deep foundation, he shouldn't be able to produce four top-tier secret treasures at once.

And that doesn't even include the Nine Absolutes Island Master. No matter how they plan, it definitely won't be enough for the four of them to share in the end.

Even if there are enough to go around, it won't work. Who would complain about not having enough top-tier treasures?

Having one top-tier treasure and having a complete set of top-tier treasures are two completely different concepts.

Besides, there might be a truly extraordinary treasure inside, and no one would give it up, not even the Lord of Lone Fire Island.

In short, the group that had just joined forces now knew it was a conspiracy, but they had no choice but to be on their guard.

"hehe!"

Looking at the four people in front of him, the Lord of Nine Absolutes Island immediately mocked them. For a Cosmic God, uniting together was completely meaningless, as they could not trust each other at all.

However, with the Nine Absolutes Island Master present, the other four would not easily turn against him and be defeated one by one.

“Nine Absolutes, stop trying to sow discord. No matter what you say, we won’t believe you,” the Lord of Lone Fire Island said firmly. Although they each had their own agendas, it was clear that the Lord of Nine Absolutes Island was less trustworthy.

"Haha, I didn't expect that even though you're all alone, you still have such a childish mentality," the Nine Absolutes Island Master mocked.

"you!"

The Lord of Lone Fire Island was furious, clearly having stepped on a landmine, but unfortunately, he couldn't lash out when facing the Lord of Nine Absolutes Island.

"Alright, Nine Absolutes, if you provoke us again, don't blame us for being impolite." The Lord of Stars frowned, stopped the somewhat furious Lone Fire Island Lord, and turned his gaze to the Chaotic Demon God.

Just as everyone was talking, the Chaos God approached the palace gate, as if he wanted to open it.

Upon seeing this, the previously noisy crowd immediately calmed down, their eyes fixed on the Chaotic Demon God.

Unable to ascertain what arrangements the Yin Demon Lord might have made before his death, none of them acted rashly. Now that someone was willing to take the initiative to probe, they were happy to do so as well.

In fact, given the strength of the Nine Absolutes Island Master, he is not afraid that the Yin Demon Lord may have left behind any hidden tricks.

He couldn't have any influence on the Lord of Nine Absolutes Island while he was alive, let alone before his death.

If he had been able to devise a way to eliminate an Ultimate Realm being even on his deathbed, he wouldn't have died so easily.

However, the Nine Absolutes Island Master was also somewhat worried about the Yin Demon Lord's other disgusting methods, such as directly teleporting people away, which would be very troublesome, since it was someone else's territory.

The same applies to the Chaotic Demon God on the other side. Even when facing the living Yin Demon Lord, he wouldn't be instantly killed. He felt that there wouldn't be much of a problem with the arrangements made before his death.

If you don't enter the tiger's lair, you won the tiger.

The bigger the waves, the more valuable the fish. Among the five, his strength was among the lowest, so naturally he would have to take some risks to win protection.

The Nine Absolutes Island Master and the others were all focused on the Chaotic Demon God, ready to rush forward the moment they noticed anything amiss.

It's sizzling!

The Chaos God opened the palace gates, the heavy sound echoing through the silent place.

Surprisingly, nothing happened after the door was opened.

"Hmph, all that vigilance was for nothing!"

The Lord of Nine Absolutes Island snorted coldly and rushed in without hesitation. Lu Yunhe and the others followed closely behind, afraid of being beaten to it.

However, what no one noticed was that the Lord of the Stars, who had been so excited, was the last to enter.

As the Lord of the Stars entered, the palace doors slowly closed, and the world fell silent once more.

shhhhhh!

The five people entered the palace one after the other, and then the palace lights immediately lit up. A figure with patterns on her face and a feminine look slowly appeared in the center of the palace.

"The Yin Demon Lord!"

Upon seeing the figure appear, everyone stopped immediately and looked ahead warily.

Even though the Yin Demon Lord is dead, his residual power still remains.

Not to mention, no one actually saw the Yin Demon Lord soaked. It's not impossible that he faked his death to escape, or even wanted to avoid setting a trap to harm some people.

“It’s just a phantom!” The Nine Absolutes Island Master frowned and spoke first. With his cultivation level being the same as that of the Yin Demon Lord, he easily saw through the phantom’s true nature.

However, since this was the territory of the Yin Demon Lord, they dared not act rashly.

"Sigh, I never thought that the tomb I built for myself before I died would still be found." The effeminate figure sighed helplessly as he looked at the crowd. Even in death, no one can rest in peace.

Hearing Yin Demon Lord's words, Lu Yunhe and the others felt slightly embarrassed.

The layout here is indeed no different from a cemetery; they can now be considered grave robbers.

Many so-called secret realm inheritances are actually quite similar in essence, and not everyone wants to pass them on; rather, they want to die cleanly.

It would be fine if the grave owner hadn't said anything, but since they said it to his face, it's definitely embarrassing.

As for the Lord of Nine Absolutes Island, murder and arson are child's play for him, so he naturally wouldn't care.

Faced with the accusations from the Nine Absolutes Island Master, no one's expression changed, clearly demonstrating that each of them had an incredibly thick skin.

Compared to treasure, what is a little shame!

"It was indeed our fault for disturbing the Demon Lord's remnant soul this time. We hope the Demon Lord will forgive us."

"However, I also have my reasons for being late, and I hope the Demon Lord can grant my request." The Lord of Lone Fire Island looked pained and angry, his hatred palpable.

It's so heartbreaking to watch and so moving to tears to hear!

Clearly, the Lord of Lone Fire Island wanted to gain the favor of the Yin Demon Lord by playing the victim; regardless of whether it would work, he would do it anyway.

"Alas, it's a pity that this is just a wisp of my remnant spirit." The remnant spirit of the Yin Demon Lord shook his head, clearly not buying into this.
