Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 901

Although the human before him displayed great strength, the Flame Demon remained confident in itself and did not believe that the weak-looking human could defeat it.

"food!"

Lu Yunhe looked at the Flame Demon's stone-like skin and thought it looked unappetizing, destined to become food for his White Bone Sword.

"Hellfire!"

Just then, the Balrog on the other side suddenly leaped up, freezing in mid-air. Then, it stretched out its hands, and wisps of flame surged along its stone-like skin.

In an instant, fireballs the size of bullets shot out from his fingertips, turning into a rain of fire that poured down on Lu Yunhe.

Tweet, Tweet, Tweet!

The sound of flames tearing through the air was deafening, and the air was filled with a pungent sulfurous odor.

Lu Yunhe retreated swiftly, directly avoiding the first wave of fireballs.

Each fiery bullet, radiating intense heat, struck the black earth, leaving behind a bottomless crater.

At the edge of the pit, a ring of flames still remained, burning the soil.

Seeing that his attack had been dodged, the Flame Demon didn't care and continued to attack. After being dodged again, he suddenly brought his hands together, and a large fireball appeared in his hands, which he then held up.

"Hellfire Bullet!"

The fireball blocked out the sun in the sky and fell like a giant meteorite, crashing directly towards Lu Yunhe on the ground.

"White Bone Sword Technique!"

Lu Yunhe's white bone sword quickly extended, whipping directly at the fireball above like a whip.

Zizi!

A sound like flames evaporating water vapor rang out, followed by a flash of pure white light. The enormous hellfire bullet split in two and crashed heavily to the ground on either side.

With two loud "bangs," the Hellfire Bullet, now split in two, exploded, sending terrifying shockwaves sweeping across the valley and instantly engulfing a group of demons.

These demons didn't even have time to scream before they were engulfed by flames.

The number of demons dying at the hands of the Balrog is almost equal to the number of the four people, A, B, C, and D, who are constantly fighting demons on the other side.

Even so, apart from trying to stay as far away from the Flame Demon as possible, the numerous demons continued to relentlessly attack Boss Jia and his group.

As for the Balrog, it didn't care at all. The human, who still stood on the ground, had eyes that turned blood red, like two burning suns.

Rumble…

Just then, the ground beneath Lu Yunhe's feet trembled, and countless blazing flames shone out from the holes pierced by the bullets.

The next moment, the earth cracked, and a huge pillar of fire erupted like a volcanic eruption.

Under the restraint of a force, the blazing pillar of fire poured down on Lu Yunhe's location, attempting to engulf him entirely.

Another wave of demons was affected, causing the demons that were originally surrounding and killing Boss Jia and his group to present a strange crescent-shaped encirclement.

If you want to retreat, the best option is to run out from the area where the demons are least numerous.

However, seeing the pillar of fire rising on the other side, Boss Jia and the others obviously didn't have that idea.

As for their master's safety, that was not something they needed to consider. A mere demon could not possibly harm their master; their situation was far more serious.

Under the command of the lower-ranking demons in the demon army, the numerous lesser demons gradually became more organized and learned to cooperate with each other, moving away from the initial chaotic encirclement and attack.

As a result, with the support of numbers, the pressure on Boss Jia and his gang became even greater.

"We cannot let our master down!"

The leader and his men thought to themselves, and they swung their weapons even faster, even launching attacks on the besieging demons.

The massive piles of demon corpses formed mountains, leaving behind mounds of corpses as the leaders of the Jia gang moved.

……

"do you died?"

On the other side, the Balrog looked at the raging pillar of fire, opened its mouth, and instantly swallowed the fierce flames, then burped.

The hellfire it summons is something that low-level professionals simply cannot withstand.

Although he looks down on humans, he shows no mercy because of his birth as a demon, and goes all out when he makes a move.

"It's a pity I should have left some corpses behind." A look of regret appeared in the Flame Demon's eyes.

call out!

The next moment, a pale sword light flashed across the flames, and in the wide-eyed eyes of the Flame Demon, a bone sword pierced directly into its mouth.

"Woo!"

The Balrog's brain was instantly struck by a heavy blow, and something seemed to be stirring its brain matter, causing its demonic essence to rapidly drain away.

Through the flames, Yama also saw the owner of the White Bone Sword. What eyes those were! They were the eyes of a demon god from the deepest part of hell, who regarded all living beings as ants.

For some inexplicable reason, the Flame Demon felt a tremor from the depths of his soul, fearing that he might have encountered an inheritor of some divine bloodline.

"Shedding its shell, like gold and stone!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the Flame Demon unleashed its bloodline secret technique, causing its indestructible demonic body to slide down from mid-air like a pool of fluid, thus dodging the attack.

However, before the Flame Demon could even catch its breath, the longsword-shaped white bone sword suddenly stretched out like a white spine and stabbed towards it.

"Flame Body!"

The Flame Demon, which had just forced Lu Yunhe back with its fireballs, was now twisting and turning in mid-air, trying to evade the pursuit of the White Bone Sword.

shhhhhh!

A chain-like sound rang out in mid-air, followed by the clanging of metal against stone, as chunks of hot, rock-like flesh fell from the sky.

"Hellfire Bullet!"

The frantic dodging enraged the Balrog, who immediately unleashed a massive fireball that crashed into the lunging skeleton.

The hellfire, powerful enough to melt refined iron, struck the pure white, jade-like bone body, yet the latter showed no signs of melting; instead, it inflicted a layer of fire damage upon itself.

The white bone sword also emitted a creaking rhythm as it absorbed the power of the flames released by the fire demon.

The Bone Sword was not interested in Hellfire, but it was very interested in the Balrog itself.

After all, bones and stones are very similar in nature, and in the eyes of the White Bone Sword, the Flame Demon is essentially made of top-quality bones, making it a very high-quality material.

It pierced directly through the hellfireball, and the tip of the bone sword opened a row of teeth, tearing towards the fire demon.

Seeing this scene, and recalling his earlier eye contact with the master of the White Bone Sword, the Flame Demon felt a surge of fear from the depths of his heart.

Demons rarely experience emotions other than killing and fighting. However, at this moment, countless complex emotions welled up in the heart of the Balrog.

Under Lu Yunhe's control, the White Bone Sword slowly eroded the Flame Demon's body, like a dull knife cutting through flesh.

"run!"

As a demon, once it gains rationality, it will no longer fight to the death mindlessly, and naturally understands the principle of "where there's life, there's hope."

Seeing the abyss rift watching him from afar, the Balrog immediately perked up.

As long as it can escape into the abyss, it doesn't believe that this human would dare to chase after it.

A pure human running into the abyss is as bright as the sun, and it would definitely attract countless powerful beings who are interested.

No matter how strong this human is, can he possibly be a match for those high-ranking demons?

He was nothing more than a guy who relied on weapons. In the Flame Demon's mind, this human also relied entirely on the power of weapons, and his own strength was nothing more than that of a low-level demon.

"Human, you just wait! Once I break through to become a high-ranking demon, I'll come back to cause you trouble!"

The Balrog unleashed a massive fireball, which exploded in mid-air, obscuring the entire sky. It then soared upwards, attempting to plunge into the abyss rift.

However, just as the Flame Demon rushed out of the range of the fire explosion, a figure had already been waiting there. To the Flame Demon's surprise, Lu Yunhe kicked it back.

The power of that kick completely dispelled Enma's previous thoughts; this human's strength was also terrifying.

At this moment, the Flame Demon suddenly felt as if he had nowhere to go but to heaven or earth.

Under the guidance of a force, the emotions in one's heart poured out wildly.

Fear, dread, despair, and the will to survive filled my mind wildly, and the flames burning within me surged incessantly.

"Hmm, this pot of soul medicine is quite good." Lu Yunhe felt the fluctuations in the Flame Demon's mind and soul, and nodded inwardly.

Demons and devils enjoy torturing humans, hoping to unearth the most fundamental power of the soul in extreme environments.

Emotions are naturally the most direct guide; all kinds of extreme emotions can make life burst forth with corresponding power from the soul.

Therefore, demons often tempt humans, giving them hope and then bringing them despair, using opposing extreme emotions to draw upon the power of the soul.

In fact, demons are the same, especially intelligent demons, whose souls are quite similar.

The soul, the most incredible creation born from the world, even possesses power that transcends the world itself.

Lu Yunhe, as a master of the soul, understood this very well and was naturally skilled at drawing upon the power of the soul's origin.

Those lower-level demons may seem to be fighting for immortality, but in reality they don't even have the concept of death and have no possibility of struggling.

These intelligent demons have souls that are no different from those of ordinary humans, so any manipulation that can affect a human soul can also be applied to a demon.

Although demons have relatively small emotional fluctuations, they can manipulate the dreamlike power of souls.

Looking at the Flame Demon struggling in pain, Lu Yunhe also revealed a devilish smile.

Chapter 809 Lord of the Abyss

"Devil...devil..."

Under Lu Yunhe's pressure, the once-renowned Flame Demon became more and more like an ordinary person, experiencing fear, dread, and despair...

A little bit of hypnotic dream power, through the body and deep into the soul, continuously excavates the power deep within the Flame Demon's soul.

The terrified Balrog failed to notice that the hellfire on its body was becoming increasingly pure, even shimmering with a ghostly blue light—a light only seen on Balrogs with higher bloodlines.

If the Balrog can overcome these emotions and return to the Abyss, it can successfully break through to become a high-ranking demon, even without invading other worlds.

Of course, the Flame Demon had no interest in these things at the moment.

The entire soul felt as if it had fallen into a quagmire, and no matter how much it struggled, it would only sink deeper and deeper until it was completely submerged.
