Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 917

While the existence of Gold-level beings is important, in terms of the quality of life, they are truly inferior to all the life forms in the entire Blackwater City.

If all the lives in the entire Blackwater City could be sacrificed, it might be possible to directly summon them from the abyss behind them.

Surrounding them now is probably just to reduce the human's ability to resist.

After all, the power that a force can unleash without a strong leader personally overseeing it is a completely different concept.

With a Gold-level ancestor, the family's foundation, and the deeply rooted Blackwater City, even seven more high-ranking demons wouldn't be enough, let alone seven high-ranking demons.

However, if the two are separated, then things will be different.

"You must block it!"

The ancestors, realizing what was happening, were extremely anxious, but surrounded by demons, they had no way to escape.

Just as the ancestors had predicted, seven high-ranking demons, together with a million-strong demon army, surrounded the six people.

Four high-ranking demons left the formation, leading an army of millions of other demons to Blackwater City.

Facing six Gold-level experts, leaving behind three high-level demons and a million-strong army would be enough to surround them and prevent them from joining their subordinate forces.

The two sides have different goals; the ancestors want to close the abyss rift.

For demons, the core objective is not to eliminate these ancestors, but to offer sacrifices to the abyss, and ideally, to summon the lord as well.

As long as the lord can be summoned, and his followers can wreak havoc in the main world before returning to the abyss, everyone will receive the rewards of the abyss's origin.

In other words, this is the main world. If it were some smaller worlds, they could easily try to destroy one of them.

However, the life quality in the main world is higher, making killing them more valuable.

"For the Lord of Demons!"

Fourth, a high-ranking demon flew in from behind and took control of the millions of demons, then pressed towards Blackwater City.

Chapter 821: The Army Arrives

"Is this the main world? It tastes delicious!" A high-ranking demon sniffed the surrounding air and then scurried around like a drunkard.

The abyss is also vast, and some demons have never actually invaded other worlds; they simply grew up in the abyss.

As for those who invaded the main world, their numbers were even fewer compared to the vast population of the entire Abyss.

The continent of Adela means origin, beginning, and unique, and is also known as the main world by outsiders.

That was the largest world in the endless world, even surpassing the current Abyss. It gave birth to gods and a vast number of powerful professionals, and was the only world capable of suppressing the Abyss.

For the demons of the abyss, the greatest desire is to devour the main world.

If one can accomplish such feats, one might become the Lord of the Abyss, the true ruler of the Endless Abyss.

Of course, these high-ranking demons wouldn't harbor such unrealistic ideas.

These high-ranking demons came to the main world with a simple goal: to kill as many people as possible and return with the favor of the abyss's will.

Becoming an Abyss Lord is not a dream if one can achieve enough great feats.

"Now is not the time to enjoy ourselves. Let's deal with the enemy in front of us first and summon the lord. Only then can we act without restraint."

A high-ranking demon with bull horns said in a deep voice, not becoming arrogant just because he had come to the main world.

The main world is no simple matter; the experts they just surrounded were no less powerful than them.

If it weren't for a lord who had laid a trap and taught them formations, thus gaining the upper hand and surrounding these powerful individuals immediately...

To deal with these powerful beings, several of them would likely suffer casualties.

If they're unlucky, they might even perish together.

Not to mention, there can't be only a few people in the main world. Once others get the news and come to support, the situation will instantly reverse.

To invade the main world, even if it's just to plunder and seize cities, you need at least an Abyss Lord to support you.

People like Blackwater City and the War King are merely insignificant in the Abyss World; they are not so much afraid of an Abyss army.

Unlike some small worlds, where a high-ranking demon might be invincible.

"Surround this area first, and don't let any news leak out. This will buy us time for the sacrifice," the Minotaur Demon commanded.

The other three higher-ranking demons did not object to the Minotaur's command.

Because the Minotaur has invaded other worlds more than once, and even came to the main world, its invasion experience is extremely rich.

The biggest challenge for the Abyss to invade the main world is that it ventures deep into enemy territory alone, making it easy to be besieged by a massive number of enemies.

Fortunately, this is the norm in the Abyss; as long as the key positions are safe, there is no such thing as heavy losses.

Just like this invasion, even if millions of demons are wiped out, as long as the Abyss Lords are still around, they can be replenished at any time.

But Blackwater City is different. If only a few Golden Ancestors are left and all the family members are dead, then it will truly be the end of the world.

"According to the information the Brain Demon obtained from the human mind, the current force is divided into two cores, one strong and one weak." The horned demon's face looked somewhat simple-minded, but his mind was no less sharp.

"Fire One, you lead a million demons to surround the lower city. Water One, you lead a million demons to seal off the entire city from the outside and prevent the people inside from escaping."

The horned demon gave the order, and as for the upper city, he naturally led another high-ranking demon and the rest of the demon army.

This invasion of the main world has another advantage: this abyssal rift has also existed for a long time.

While it may prompt people in the main world to take some countermeasures in advance, it may also make them more complacent. The pros and cons depend entirely on how they use it.

"Yes!"

The demons obeyed.

"For the Lord of Demons!"

The horned demon shouted with a fiery expression, even though the Demon Lord's rule over them had not been long.

But their invincible aura still inspired their admiration, and coupled with the suppression of lower-ranking demons by higher-ranking demons, even cunning demons were quite loyal when facing their superiors.

This invasion of the abyss brought a total of eight million demons and seven high-ranking demons, making it a formidable force.

The entire demon army split into four: three high-ranking demons led a million demons to surround the five ancestors and the War King; one demon army attacked the War King's city; and another demon army blocked Blackwater City's connection with the outside world.

The last core force was to attack the upper city.

The three armies advanced simultaneously, crushing any obstacles they encountered along the way.

Of course, no one chose to act unilaterally; many were caught up by the demon army before they could escape.

Although the two major urban areas have also issued orders to reduce restrictions, some people still take chances or are delayed by various other matters.

The demon army, of course, wouldn't stand on ceremony with them; they treated it as a dessert before the main course.

Faced with the invasion of the demon army, the lower city was the first to bear the brunt.

"War...King...City!"

Huo Yi looked at the tall and majestic city before him, especially the name on the city gate, and a hint of longing and disdain flashed in his eyes.

The Abyss is a battlefield, and many demons are either living hand to mouth or constantly engaged in war, leaving them with little energy to study production and construction, let alone cultural heritage.

The demons of the abyss also admire magnificent things like palaces and castles, but they lack the necessary understanding of these things, and most of the creations they make are quite crude.

Many of the magnificent things were stolen from the outside world; the demons themselves rarely produced them.

Looking at the city before him, Huo Yi also liked it very much and wanted to take it back to use as his palace.

"It would be even better if I could snatch another batch of humans to serve me, but I don't know if there will be any left after the sacrifice," Huo Yi thought to himself.

His subordinates were indeed crude in their work, far inferior to humans who are born with intelligence.

"You're mine."

Huo Yi looked at the city in front of him and a slight smile appeared on his lips, based on the information collected by the Brain Demon.

There was only one gold-level city in front of us, and we had just been trapped by them.

This means that the city in front of them doesn't even have a single powerful being comparable to a high-ranking demon, making it completely at their mercy.

"Those inside, surrender! I don't want to damage my things!" Huo Yi shouted arrogantly as he surrounded the War King City with hundreds of thousands of demon troops.

As for the other part of the army, he dispersed them to the surrounding areas to besiege other parts of the lower city.

After all, the vast Lower City is not the only human settlement in the War King City.

Intelligent life in the main world is extremely precious; not a single one can be wasted.

Millions of demons are starving, digging three feet into the ground is nothing to them, and the passage of locusts is beyond description.

Having finally made it to the main world, I naturally want to make my money back in one go.

"It's a high-ranking demon!"

At this moment, the professionals in War King City were all looking solemnly at the demon army outside.

A high-ranking demon led an army of hundreds of thousands of demons, their overwhelming military might and killing intent almost suffocating everyone in the entire War King City.

Unlike the last attack by the Golden Ancestor, where defeat meant surrender and only resulted in some additional restrictions.

Even the Golden Ancestor coveted the value and wealth of War King City and would not easily damage it.

But for the demons of the abyss, the greatest value is life itself.

They value your life, so there's no room for choice.

Even if you want to switch to the path of the abyss, that's your business, these demons won't accept it.

"I never imagined that I would face two life-or-death crises in such a short period of time in the Battle Royal City."

One professional sighed, "To rise from humble beginnings to the heavens is no easy feat; natural disasters and man-made calamities are insignificant compared to that."

"Prepare for battle..."

The Wolf King spoke, completely ignoring the words of the abyss demon in the distance.

"Things haven't reached the point of complete despair yet. As long as we can persevere long enough, there is still hope." The Snake King also composed himself, appearing extremely dignified.

Neither the surrounding forces nor the temple personnel would stand idly by and watch the abyss demons run rampant.

Once the snowball starts rolling, even the main world won't have many forces that can withstand it.

"It's a pity the Eastern King didn't come. I wonder how things are on his end?" the Eagle King sighed.
