Devouring the Starry Sky: Giants of Light at the beginning

Chapter 1005 Ancient Monsters
"Power surpassing world-class primordial energy!"

Chifeng Daoist quickly recovered from the surge of power, mainly because the increase in power was still within the range that his mind could accept.

"But it's still far from being at the progenitor level."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Chifeng Daoist's eyes, but it wasn't unexpected. After all, it wasn't obtained from a real progenitor-level monster, so the fact that it could improve him was already quite extraordinary.

After painstakingly cultivating to the world-class level of Hunyuan, the result is that one can obtain power surpassing the world-class level simply by refining a treasure. This is quite a blow to one's cultivation.

Fortunately, nine lords still stand atop it, guiding the many cultivators.

Although he didn't ascend to become the Primordial Ancestor of Hunyuan in one step, the power that surpassed world-class levels still significantly improved Chifeng Daoist.

"I can easily suppress these six world-class beings even without using any treasures right now. If I use treasures, I can kill them instantly."

Chifeng Daoist was somewhat surprised, but he didn't know if this could be considered a half-step ancestor level.

The gap between the Hunyuan Ancestor and the world-class is too great. This is still far from enough. It's probably just a matter of breathing.

While pondering, Daoist Chifeng reported on the situation here and his own circumstances.

There's no point in hiding it; the lords even gave them such a precious treasure as the "Ancestor Core," so they wouldn't care about such a trivial matter.

However, while the Red Peak Taoist was fighting the demonic bird, the lords also encountered these monsters.

Swish!
A flash of light appeared, and Luo Feng cleaved the demonic bird in front of him to death with a single strike.

"So weak!"

Luo Feng had a thought, but that was based on his strength as a Hunyuan Lord. Any being below the lord level would probably be no match for this demonic bird.

Are there weak beings among monsters?

Luo Feng stepped forward and grasped the remaining monster core. It was very similar to the ancestral core, but much more broken, just like a complete ancestral rune and a world-class rune.

"Perhaps it can be used by those advanced Chaos Sources that have exhausted their potential."

Just one of these treasures can create a powerful being who surpasses even the world-class Hunyuan level. You can search the entire faction's treasure trove and still not find such a treasure.

"And there's more than one!"

It wasn't just Daoist Chifeng who encountered the demonic bird; other cultivators also encountered it. But as far as Luo Feng knew, there were more than ten, which meant there were ten beings who had surpassed the world-level Hunyuan realm.

Don't underestimate the fact that world-class Chaos Origin realms are just a matter of a breath for lords; they are, after all, the closest realm to the Progenitor level, and their status and importance are not low.

If it were possible to truly foster a group of world-class Chaos Origin beings, it would be very attractive to the lords.

There are only a few hundred thousand world-class Chaos Origins in the entire Endless Chaos Origin Space.

There are quite a few, but considering how vast the entire Hunyuan Space really is, they are still precious.

Despite this, Luo Feng remained serious, as the black holes on the demonic bird also gave him an extremely ominous feeling.

The fact that even the Lord of Hunyuan could feel this way suggests that the monster behind it is probably no ordinary being.

"I haven't sensed the power of the Primordial Ancestor. Is the monster behind it still hiding, or does it have another purpose...?"

Luo Feng sensed the Chaos Origin Space but did not detect any Primordial-level power. Clearly, the real monsters had not yet appeared, and the demonic bird in front of him could only be considered the vanguard of the monsters.

"there is always a solution to a problem."

Although the strange events were unsettling, as the Lord of Hunyuan, Luo Feng believed that his sword could cut through all obstacles.

Luo Feng then began searching the Southern River Territory, and found that the number of the suddenly appearing monster vanguard demon birds was greater than he had imagined.

According to the Star Lord's observations, more than a hundred demonic birds have appeared one after another, all of them appearing out of nowhere and randomly scattered throughout the Southern River Territory.

These suddenly appearing demonic birds, like the vanguard of a destructive catastrophe, wreaked havoc and were virtually unstoppable with their power surpassing world-class levels.

Because the southern territory had just been conquered, there was no time to set up a spacetime network, and even the lords could only use local methods to deal with the situation.

Suddenly, the once peaceful Nanhe territory was thrown into chaos once again.

Upon learning of this news, the world-class Chaos Origin cultivators within the cultivator camp flocked to the scene, and even some high-level Chaos Origin cultivators came over.

Whether or not we can kill the demon bird, if we perform well, we'll most likely be able to get it from the lords.

After all, such treasures that can directly improve a cultivator's realm are limited by the number of cultivators, so lords won't keep them in their hands for too long.

However, given the sheer number of demonic birds, it would be difficult to kill them without the combined efforts of nearly ten world-class Chaos Origin experts, along with a Primordial Treasure.

The cultivators who arrived could only cooperate with the search, and the actual gains were meager; it was mainly the lords who did the work.

Each demon bird killed creates a world-class Chaos Source for the faction, which excites even the lords.

However, their main objective was to search for the monster hidden in the shadows. The value of a Primordial Ancestor of Chaos surpasses that of a world-class being by countless degrees.

Moreover, during this process, the lords discovered something even more incredible: the core left behind by the demon bird could be stacked.

With each one consumed, the incomplete secret core seems to be repaired, and its power becomes even stronger.

However, the core of the demonic bird seems to conceal another highly polluting power, which, if consumed in excess, can also corrupt the mind of cultivators.

Perhaps due to its incomplete core, it has many flaws and is not as good as the complete ancestral core.

Compared to the quality of world-class Hunyuan, the lords still value quantity more.

At the same time, out of caution about the power behind the monsters, the lords did not allow those truly qualified cultivators to use the core of the demon bird; instead, they allowed those who had exhausted their potential to use it.

Even after observing countless timelines, the Star Lord couldn't find a single possibility for these cultivators to become lords. Let them rely on external aids.

In any case, by using these core elements, one might become the progenitor of Hunyuan, which is not a bad path.

Those with potential, even if there's only a slight chance, are preferred by the lords to cultivate themselves.

After all, the status of a Hunyuan lord far surpasses that of the Hunyuan progenitor.

Other factions gradually learned about what was happening in the Southern River Territory, and the Infinite Serpent Ancestor even came to plunder from time to time.

No ancestor would complain about having too many world-class Chaos Origin beings within their clan.

In response, the lords naturally launched a fierce attack, but faced with the power of the infinite world, even the Star Lord was helpless, unable to capture or kill him.

Despite the lords' relentless hunting, the number of demonic birds has not decreased at all; in fact, it seems to be increasing.

"Where did these monsters come from?"

Luo Feng cleaved a demonic bird in two with a single strike. For some reason, he felt this bird resembled the crows of Earth, as if it were announcing the arrival of some calamity. Just then, Luo Feng suddenly looked up into the void of chaos, where a monster resembling an upright lizard emerged from the void.

It had a head like an armored helmet, bulging muscles all over its body, and red, lava-like patterns on its chest.

What is most distinctive is the evil hole on its body that is so similar to that of the demon bird, except that on the monster in front of us, the hole seems to be filled with its own power.

"finally come!"

Luo Feng was somewhat excited. The monster behind these demonic birds had finally appeared, and its aura, at the level of a Primordial Ancestor, almost tore the entire space apart.

However, looking at the patterns on the monster in front of him, Luo Feng was also a little puzzled. Was the other party really the master of those demonic birds?
"Roar!"

On the other side, the towering monster Golza strode forward through the void with heavy steps, seemingly treating the space itself as the earth, causing endless tremors with every move it made.

Luo Feng was puzzled, but seeing the monster's movements, he instantly cut off his hesitation and unleashed a Sky-Splitting Blade filled with destructive power.

Swish!
The dazzling blade light contained a powerful force of destruction, and beneath it, the locking and annihilation of life left no one with an escape route.

The blade flashed across the void and struck the monster Golza directly, producing the sound of weapon clashing with armor.

咔…

With a single collision, the blade light exploded, instantly cleaving the towering monster into a tumble, spraying streaks of crimson blood into the void.

Seeing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Luo Feng's eyes again.

"So weak!"

Luo Feng knew the strength of the monsters. Although he had never fought them personally, according to the records, each one of them was extremely extraordinary. The monsters that appeared last time were even no weaker than the lords.

However, the monster before him was suppressed by his probing attack in a single move, which was equivalent to that of an ordinary Primordial Ancestor.

"Is there more than one?"

Luo Feng pondered, but the monster Golza on the other side was obviously also enraged by this attack, and instantly released a thick ultrasonic beam from its head.

Seeing this, Luo Feng disregarded everything and, wielding the Sky-Splitting Blade, slashed directly at the light.

With a single slash, the beam of light was split in two, and then the blade struck the monster hard.

A Hunyuan lord, and one who is proficient in life and destruction, would crush an ordinary Hunyuan progenitor. Every move he made contained the latter's irresistible power.

Of course, it still takes some effort to completely kill it, and that's only if the monster doesn't try to escape, otherwise it would be very difficult to kill.

Although he possessed the power to kill monsters in a short time, considering the special nature of the monsters and the power of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, Luo Feng quickly called for the other lords.

"This time, we shouldn't need to fight with other factions!"

The monsters appeared in the lords' territories, and the eternal beings of the other factions couldn't get there in time.

Although the Infinite Serpent Ancestor was able to arrive, it alone was no match for the combined might of the lords.

This ancestral core is now practically in the hands of the cultivators. With the addition of another Primordial Ancestor, their weakness can be addressed.

"Okay, we'll be there soon..."

At this moment, all the lords in the Southern River Territory, except for Lu Yunhe, are here.

The threat posed by the naturally formed Hunyuan Life Faction requires several lords to counter it. The Star Lord needs to build a spacetime network, and Yuan needs to manage government affairs. In addition, the appearance of the monster demon bird has also made the focus of the faction concentrated in the Southern River Territory.

However, it was impossible not to arrange for people to defend the former base camp, so Lu Yunhe took the initiative to suggest guarding Sanheling to prevent any unexpected situations.

The lords, having received the news, rushed to the scene, and Luo Feng seized the opportunity to launch a frenzied attack on the monster Golza.

Although monsters have some flaws compared to real life, their strength is undeniable.

This means that if he can kill the monster before the lords arrive, it would be equivalent to killing a single Primordial Ancestor, which is very attractive to Luo Feng, who has only recently broken through.

"Take another blow from me!"

The destructive intent in Luo Feng's eyes was incredibly strong. After becoming a lord, he also saw the path ahead: to create a second, opposite path of primordial birth and death.

His current Chaotic Origin Path of Life and Death prioritizes life and uses destruction as a secondary element, while the second path should ideally prioritize destruction and use life as a secondary element, so that a cycle can be formed.

Therefore, during this process, Luo Feng also paid great attention to his understanding of the Dao of Destruction.

Under Luo Feng's attacks, the monster Golza suffered countless wounds, and the flowing blood almost filled an entire sea.

If the fight continued like this, Luo Feng felt he was fully capable of killing this monster single-handedly.

Groan!
Just then, a dragon-like winged bird suddenly flew out, tearing through the void and swooping towards Luo Feng.

"There's still one left!"

Luo Feng was startled. He turned his blade and slashed at the oncoming pterosaur monster, sending it flying. At the same time, his defensive energy lit up, blocking the monster Golza's fire attack.

After the two monsters failed to combine their strength, they stood on either side of Luo Feng, roaring at him.

"Two monsters!"

Seeing this, Luo Feng wasn't so surprised. In that case, it was probably more normal. He had wondered why the monsters were so weak this time; it turned out there was more than one.

"Hehe, I wonder if there will be two Primal Cores or just one after the kill?"

Luo Feng thought to himself that he was not worried about the scene in front of him, because the dragon-winged monster that appeared later was still only at the level of an ordinary Primordial Ancestor.

With such strength, he could handle not just two, but even two more.

The Chaos Dao of Life and Destruction is incredibly resilient and adept at fighting, making it exceptionally skilled in such chaotic battles.

Seemingly sensing Luo Feng's thoughts, the two monsters did not attack, but instead roared to the sky.

Rumble…

One monster after another appeared to Luo Feng's shocked expression.

A crab monster with enormous pincers exudes a chilling aura, a standing monster with a single-eyed head emanates an aura of soul curse, and the last one is a monster covered in armor with scythe-like hands, brimming with a fighting spirit.

Without exception, all of these monsters had black holes on their bodies, as if they had been corrupted by some kind of force.

Five primordial monsters surrounded Luo Feng, their wild and ferocious aura permeating the entire primordial space.
