Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Even if they could borrow the power of the divine city, so what? He still managed to steal their chicken.

It remains to be seen whether these puppets will be able to maintain their full strength after leaving the divine city.

A thought flashed through Lu Yunhe's mind, and then he focused his attention on the puppet guards around him, considering whether he should steal a few more.

He wasn't satisfied with just one puppet, but the aura emanating from the puppet guard caused his expression to change drastically.

The puppet guards were imprisoned within the Eternal Sky Ark and placed under the Eternal Core for suppression, completely isolating them from the outside world. Even a single puppet guard was no match for the power of the top-tier palace treasures.

The puppet guards surrounding Lu Yunhe did not act immediately, but instead tried to summon the puppets inside the Sky Ship, but they were unable to do so.

buzzing...

Just then, the entire divine city suddenly trembled. This time, it was not because it was attacked, but because it was responding to something.

The next moment, the originally dark eyes of the surrounding puppet guards suddenly burst out with scarlet light, and a malice and killing intent from heaven and earth fell on Lu Yunhe.

As if being targeted by some monstrous beast, Lu Yunhe couldn't help but shudder.

"not good!"

Lu Yunhe felt a chill run down his spine, as if he had angered the entire divine city and was about to meet a terrible end.

However, a young man who doesn't court death is a wasted youth. He was cautious when he was still a God King, but now that he stands at the top of the Origin Continent, he still has to be careful. Wouldn't that mean he's cultivated in vain?

As soon as the thought crossed Lu Yunhe's mind, he gritted his teeth and, taking advantage of the moment when the puppet guards underwent a change, unleashed another devastating attack, tearing a gap in the puppet guards' encirclement.

"Slip away!"

Although he was courting death, Lu Yunhe did not want to die, nor did he choose to stay and confront these puppets outdoors.

Lu Yunhe broke through the encirclement in an instant, and with a wave of his hand, the Eternal Sky Boat flew back into his hand.

Lu Yunhe, having retrieved the Eternal Sky Ship, did not choose to release the puppet guards or flee. Instead, he headed straight for the City Lord's Mansion.

The most dangerous place is also the safest; the passage out of the divine city is in the city lord's mansion.

Swish!

The instant Lu Yunhe broke out of the encirclement, the bloodshot-eyed puppet guards also aimed at the enemy. In an instant, the suppressive power of the divine city surged, and the power that could be mobilized became even stronger, but it still did not exceed a certain limit.

"Hold it!"

Lu Yunhe fully activated the "Eternal Domain," using its power to resist the suppressive force of the Divine City.

The "Eternal Realm" is of excellent quality and still retains considerable effectiveness despite the suppression by the Divine City.

call out!

Lu Yunhe sprinted ahead, with a row of puppet guards chasing wildly behind him, launching attacks from time to time, showing an attitude of fighting to the death.

……

“What happened? I can even feel the malice coming from the entire divine city.”

The God-King, still in the divine city, also sensed the changes around him, as if something had awakened.

"Is it the Eternal God-King, or the Beast of the Realm, that has angered the Divine City?"

Many god-kings cursed inwardly, thinking that the stronger one is, the more trouble one can cause.

Such a commotion is beyond the capabilities of ordinary god-kings like them; only those two could accomplish it.

"You should consider leaving. Who knows what might happen to the entire divine city next?"

One of the god-kings who had not yet left said this, and the other god-kings echoed his sentiments. Staying in the divine city was too dangerous and pointless; it would be better to escape this prison as soon as possible.

Subsequently, one by one, the God-Kings flew towards the City Lord's Mansion, no longer intending to explore the God City, as their own lives were more important.

……

On the other side, the Beast Origin also sensed the changes in the Divine City and couldn't help but shake his head.

"This is really unsettling!"

This commotion was much bigger than before, clearly indicating that the Eternal God-King had triggered the emergency response of the divine city.

Then the Beast Source quickened its pace. Even he didn't want to bear the malice of the entire Divine City. If he continued to stay here, he might be dragged down by the Eternal God King.

……

Boom... Bang bang...

After losing one of their companions, the pair of puppet guards became like they were on steroids, unleashing a barrage of attacks combined with the power of the divine city, relentlessly striking Lu Yunhe.

These puppet guards share a unified aura and are further enhanced by hidden backup energy, so there's no need to worry about consumption or damage; they are natural-born combat weapons.

Under the suppression of the divine city, Lu Yunhe was unable to fight these puppet guards at all, and did not even dare to stop.

Lu Yunhe also tried to use the surrounding buildings as cover, hoping that these puppet guards would hold back when facing the buildings in the divine city.

However, he still failed. Lu Yunhe hid in a hotel, and the next moment the entire shop was torn to shreds by a flash of light.

"Look at what you've protected!"

Looking at the streets reduced to ruins, Lu Yunhe couldn't help but curse, saying that the impact was even greater than when he and the Beast Source had besieged Rat Nine.

Clearly, at this moment, killing Lu Yunhe is the highest priority among the puppet guards.

However, Lu Yunhe soon discovered that the buildings that had been destroyed by the puppet guards were restored immediately, probably because of the remaining power of the divine city.

"Brilliant!"

Lu Yunhe fled, and his two clones were also returned to his body. Unless he planned to sacrifice the clones to cover his retreat, there was no point in leaving them outside.

Even his main body dared not pause, for if his two clones delayed even for a moment, they would be torn to shreds by the puppet guards.

At least for now, the puppet guards can't take him down and can still escape, so there's no need to sacrifice their clones.

"You can't catch me, you can't catch me!"

Lu Yunhe provocatively said, but unfortunately the puppet was not triggered. However, the city lord's mansion soon came into view.

Chapter 579 Leaving the Divine City

"We're almost at the City Lord's Mansion!"

Lu Yunhe's chase with the puppet guards threw the entire divine city into chaos.

Fortunately, although it's called a city, there are actually very few living people in the entire city, so there's no problem of disturbing the peace or causing injuries or deaths.

"what…"

However, when Lu Yunhe was about to arrive, he found that someone had already arrived, but the situation seemed to be at a stalemate.

The other God-Kings in the Divine City also gathered together, totaling nine God-Kings, a terrifying force. However, at this moment, they were looking at an enemy in front of them with tense expressions—the Realm Beast.

In front of the city lord's mansion, a group of strange beasts exuding a terrifying aura glared at the group and blocked the gate behind them.

These strange beasts, the same ones we encountered when we entered the divine city, seem to be guarding the entrances and exits as well.

"There is no Tree King!"

As he looked at the God-Kings ahead, Beast Origin couldn't help but frown. He had arrived first, but was blocked by the strange beasts for a while before many God-Kings rushed over.

A group of god-kings were watching them intently from the sidelines, so even the Beast Source of the Realm couldn't rashly rush into the city gate.

"It's a World Beast!"

The other God-Kings looked at the figure radiating a powerful aura before them, whose form as a World Beast was clearly revealed. At this moment, the World Beast Source made no attempt to conceal its power, displaying complete confidence in its strength.

Looking at the terrifying aura emanating from the Beast before them, even the gathering of nine God Kings made them feel somewhat insecure for a moment.

There were eleven God-Kings who entered the secret realm back then, not counting Lu Yunhe and the Beast Origin.

Then the Star Sect Master was killed by Lu Yunhe, and two God Kings perished in the God City. One Chaos Ruler also successfully advanced, leaving only nine God Kings.

This mortality rate is already terrifying for a God-King, since there are only a handful in the entire Origin World, and the fall of any one of them is a serious matter.

Of these nine God-Kings, all were ordinary God-Kings. One of them was seriously injured and has not yet recovered, while the other was a newly promoted God-King with very weak strength.

Therefore, even with the gathering of nine God Kings, they were still somewhat vulnerable when facing the World Beast Source.

The Beast Source, which surpasses the top-tier God Kings by half a level, could almost forcefully kill the beings among these ordinary God Kings despite their attacks.

For the nine god-kings to win, they would almost all have to be prepared to perish together with each other.

But clearly, these are god-kings, not assassins or soldiers. They wouldn't sacrifice their lives for others unless absolutely necessary.

To put it bluntly, if you want to win against a stronger opponent, how can you possibly succeed without a desperate determination?

Meanwhile, the Beast Origin on the other side had just reached an agreement with the Eternal God King, and the nine God Kings still held considerable power. In addition, the city's guardian beasts were also watching closely, so they did not act rashly.

For a moment, both sides were at a stalemate, neither daring to make the first move nor to leave first, for fear of being interfered with by the other side. As a result, they were both blocked in front of the city gate.

However, when the Beast Source scanned the God King in front of him, he did not see the Tree King and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"The Tree King had just broken through to the Divine City and probably perished during the trial."

"Origin of the Beast Realm," he thought to himself. "Otherwise, with all these God Kings gathered here, there would be no reason for the Tree King not to come."

If the Tree King were here, then the Beast Source would have to be even more careful. He had already felt the terror of the Void Realm Path when he was chasing the Tree King.

If these nine God-Kings besiege him, and one of them is a Void Realm God-King, then things will get complicated.

If the Tree King were to perish in the divine city, it would be excellent news for him.

"What should I do now?"

The god-kings communicated with each other, explaining that they were preparing to leave the divine city to avoid being targeted by the realm beasts. No one was willing to sacrifice themselves to achieve a spirit of fearlessness, but they never expected to run into them.

Especially for the Floating Yama God King, who was almost killed by the Beast Source of the Realm, a shadow fell over his heart.

Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, they suddenly sensed a huge, oppressive aura coming from afar, and they were all shocked. However, when they saw the person at the front, they all showed a strange and relaxed expression.

"Eternal God-King!"

"It was him all along!"

Even he was somewhat shocked by the commotion behind the Eternal God King, not expecting that there was such a force within the God City.

However, with the arrival of the Eternal God King, the situation instantly reversed. The God King's threat level immediately surpassed his, and the Beast Source also considered retreating.

"The Eternal God-King has arrived!"
