Starting from the Primordial Era, it began to devour the starry sky.

15. Myriad Gods and Demons

"Kui Mu, why don't you come down and fight?" A thunderous roar resounded, making Qiao Lin and the others feel as if their eardrums were about to burst.

Kui Mu glanced at the colossal demon god, who was a full twelve hundred feet tall: "Stone Fang, stop putting on airs. If I really go down there, do you dare to fight me?"

"Hahaha, you're just relying on your higher cultivation level. If we were both at the early stage of the Myriad Manifestations realm, I could kill you like a chicken!"

"You're all talk and no action, but your opponent isn't me, it's the little guy in front of you."

Shi Liao looked down at the soles of his feet and said, "Oh haha, is it really this little guy at the Innate Realm? Have you Yinglong Guards gone mad? Your previous opponents were at least at the peak of the Purple Mansion Realm, and now you've actually sent a late-stage Innate Realm cultivator?"

Qiao Lin frowned, his flame domain expanded once more, and he activated the secret technique of his Force longsword, preparing to unleash his strongest secret attack.

Holding nothing back, Qiao Lin dared not be careless in the slightest, wielding his Force sword in a strange pattern.

This is the true combat secret of Swallowing the Stars. Once you are strong enough, your attacks are no longer simple slashing and thrusting movements, but rather a communication with the rhythm of the universe, the inscription of secret techniques, and then you fight using these techniques.

At an even higher level, there are attack techniques that depict or even fuse with the laws.

Just now, when Qiao Lin dealt with the late-stage Purple Mansion Demon God, he only used ordinary primal force slashing attacks and did not use any real combat secret techniques.

But now, Qiao Lin felt immense pressure and dared not hold back.

Qiao Lin's longsword danced rapidly, the sword light overlapping to form a pattern resembling flames. Under a special rhythm, the entire pattern seemed to come alive. Even more terrifying was that after Qiao Lin's longsword drew the flame pattern, it seemed to merge the sword light that had been continuously slashing, with the sword light constantly overlapping. Qiao Lin's final sword strike seemed to be the sum of the power of the previous dozens of sword strikes.

In the same amount of time, Qiao Lin could unleash dozens of sword strikes at his opponent, but the destructive power would be far less than that of the final sword strike, which was a fusion of dozens of sword strikes.

This is the secret attack technique within the Devouring Starry Sky, which is essentially a continuous stacking of attacks!

The flame pattern was not drawn randomly, but rather it conformed to the laws governing the universe, though it did not reach the level of laws.

Seeing the fiery domain surrounding Qiao Lin, the Stone Fang Demon God coldly snorted, "Domain of the Dao!"

Then, facing Qiao Lin's sword light aimed at him, he neither dodged nor evaded, but simply raised his foot and slammed it heavily onto the ground.

Boom~

Countless grains of sand flew up and then swirled around the feet of the Stone Fang Demon God.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Lin's expression changed again. The Dao Realm, and a true Dao Realm at that.

"Die, you little thing!"

The Stone Fang Demon God laughed loudly and raised his foot to kick Qiao Lin hard.

As Qiao Lin faced the attack from the Stone Fang Demon God, his black Force Armor materialized around him. The Force Armor's defensive capabilities were weak, only about 20-30%, but it was better than nothing.

Without any fear, Qiao Lin slashed the flame pattern in his hand toward the Stone Fang Demon God's big toe.

The flame pattern scorched the air, emitting bursts of explosions, gradually driving away the flying sand and stones around it, attempting to break the Dao Domain at the feet of the Stone Fang Demon God.

However, it was impossible. Qiao Lin's Flame Domain was only at the first level, which was far from the true Dao Domain. He could not break through the Dao Domain. On the contrary, the Stone Fang Demon God's Dao Domain began to suppress Qiao Lin.

"Drink!" Qiao Lin's forehead veins bulged, and he pushed all his strength to the limit, injecting the last bit of primal force into the longsword in his hand.

Boom!

The longsword finally cleaved through a gap and struck the Stone Fang Demon God's big toe hard.

puff~

Qiao Lin's body flew backward in the next moment, and was kicked by the Stone Fang Demon God's big foot.

Seeing this, Master Kui Mu quickly intervened, breaking the barrier to rescue Qiao Lin.

The Stone Fang Demon God glanced at his toes; the wounds had healed completely. "A mere Innate Realm cultivator could actually break through my physical body. No wonder they used me as a whetstone!"

Seeing that Master Kui Mu had rescued Qiao Lin, Shi Liao did not attempt to pursue him, because the restrictions here would suppress him.

"Kui Mu, it's been many years since we last sparred. Try this move of mine!" Before Kui Mu could completely leave the restricted area, a huge figure suddenly appeared behind the Stone Fang Demon God. The next moment the figure appeared, it pointed a finger at Kui Mu Zhenren.

This finger strike seemed to come from the endless void, tearing through all space, and attacking from an extremely distant place, causing the surrounding Great Dao to retreat.

"Hmph! Borrowing the power of ancient gods and demons, that's all you've got. You haven't even thought about comprehending the Dao on your own for billions of years!" Master Kui Mu shot out his magic weapon, a long spear appeared, its surface covered with countless wind blades. Facing the finger pointing from the void, the magic weapon transformed into a water curtain, blocking the finger from the void.

After the attack, Master Kuimu left the barrier. The Stone Fang Demon God did not continue to attack, but returned to the barrier he had originally emerged from.

Master Kui Mu didn't pay any attention to this, but instead looked at Qiao Lin, whom he had rescued.

At this moment, Qiao Lin's face was pale, but he was still conscious.

"Qiao Lin, are you alright? I thought you'd leave the arena the moment Shi Liao appeared, but I didn't expect you to still slash at him with your sword. Do you know you almost got kicked to death by him?"

"Heh, I know there's a gap between us, but if I run away without even a single sword strike, then I wouldn't be myself!" Qiao Lin spat out a mouthful of blood, manipulated his primal force to retrieve a bottle of healing potion, and drank it down his throat.

The kick he received earlier shattered all his bones and internal organs, and both of his legs were completely gone. Without treatment, recovery would be difficult.

Fortunately, he has experienced this kind of injury many times before.

In just a few breaths, Qiao Lin's body recovered, and his legs regrowed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Huh? What kind of miraculous medicine is this? Its healing effect is so good!" Master Kui Mu was shocked.

Injury is nothing; even a Purple Mansion Demon God can be reborn from a drop of blood. But Qiao Lin is only at the Innate level, yet he was able to fully recover in just a few breaths with a bottle of spiritual medicine, which is quite astonishing.

"It was by chance!" Qiao Lin explained.

Master Kui Mu picked up Qiao Lin's bottle and casually sniffed it: "Such a rich life force, and incredibly gentle, gentle enough that even mortals at the Acquired Realm can use it. It's a pity it's not very useful for high-level cultivators!"

Qiao Lin nodded. He had expected this, after all, this was a potion specified by Swallowing Star that was effective for those below the celestial level, but its effect on cosmic level beings was very weak.

"That demon was so strong! I couldn't even withstand a single kick from him!" Qiao Lin sighed.

"You don't need to underestimate yourself. That guy Shi Liao, he appeared a thousand feet tall, having already used his special phenomenon. What you thought was a casual attack was actually at least half of his strength! Shi Liao has fought against many cultivators before, so he went all out from the start, launching a sneak attack," said Master Kui Mu.

"However, I'm truly surprised that you dared to attack despite seeing the difference in strength. What surprises me even more is that you actually severed his physical body; your attack was quite powerful!"

Qiao Lin let out a deep breath, a hint of helplessness in his voice: "Still not strong enough."

"That's natural. After all, each realm is a whole new level. Many cultivators at the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm who have cultivated for hundreds of years can't even defeat that guy Shi Liao. You've already done very well!"

"What a pity, my 640 merit points!"

"Haha, don't be too greedy. As long as you're alive, you can always make a comeback. As long as you keep growing, Shi Liao will eventually become your stepping stone!"

"What a pity, my 640 merits!"

Kui Mu: ...
