Devouring Starry Sky 2 Origin Continent

Chapter 441, Episode 12: Victory or Defeat (Part 2)

In a decisive battle, both sides would naturally send out their most powerful and ruthless progenitors.

Of the 89 progenitors this time, 39 are skilled at self-preservation, which is already quite a lot. The remaining 50 progenitors are skilled in many methods of killing, but they mostly rely on the help of their companions to survive.

The first strike by the eight lords killed the easiest ancestor to kill, which caused some commotion within the Tian Sheng Hun Yuan camp.

The Dark Roc Ancestor was killed instantly? Will I be next?
“The protective capabilities of our formation are still not perfect,” one of the ancestors began to transmit.

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor was startled.

He understood...

When the progenitors were summoned, they were made to believe that the battle formation was perfectly coordinated, at least in terms of 'survival ability,' which is why they were all willing to participate. But if 'sudden deaths' occur one after another, the progenitors might split up again.

"We can't delay any longer! Unleash our killing move immediately!"

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor immediately transmitted his voice.

Logically speaking, it's normal for the two major factions to fight for hundreds or even thousands of epochs. The original plan was to learn more about the eight lords before unleashing a decisive move! Using it hastily might not be as effective.

But the situation changed too quickly, and there was no time to worry about it!

"Wow!"

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor instantly transformed into a colossal phantom. Completely ethereal, it was unstoppable. Its massive body enveloped all the progenitors and the eight lords.

Then, the ethereal 'Infinite Serpent Ancestor' instantly solidified! Its enormous serpent body naturally enveloped 'Yuan'.

Yuan was trapped inside the snake's belly.

First it becomes ethereal, then it solidifies! This is the ultimate move of the 'Infinite Serpent Ancestor' to trap its enemies. Looking across the endless chaotic space, very few can escape its trapping technique.

"Ok?"

The expressions of Luo Feng and the other seven lords changed slightly.

Yuan was suddenly trapped inside the Infinite Serpent Ancestor's body! And a terrifying fluctuation suddenly erupted from within the Infinite Serpent Ancestor's body.

"Endless light! Endless power!"

This attack was a combined killing move by the Infinite Serpent Ancestor and the Endless Primordial Ancestor! Since breaking through to 'immortality', the Endless Primordial Ancestor has also comprehended a burst of power similar to Luo Feng's Origin Great Destruction.

Such explosive moves can only be unleashed by those who have achieved 'immortality'.

It's everywhere!
Without the Infinite Serpent Ancestor's interference, it naturally appeared instantly within the Infinite Serpent Ancestor's body, getting close to Yuan.

Inside the snake's body.

Yuan could not escape and could only watch helplessly as the 'Endless Ancestor' appeared and transformed into an incomparably dazzling light! This dazzling light tore everything apart and destroyed everything. Even with the array blocking it, it was still torn to shreds at close range, and its body was also pulverized and annihilated.

"Of the eight lords in the cultivator camp, Yuan and Luo Feng are the key! Without Yuan, their coordination will be much worse, their strength will be greatly reduced, and they will be unable to withstand our attack at all. Without Luo Feng, their threat level will drop sharply."

The Chaotic Origin faction had long understood this principle: to defeat the cultivator faction, the first key was Yuan, the second was Luo Feng, and the third was Xing Mang. Eliminating just one of these three would secure victory in the direct confrontation.

"boom--"

As Yuan's body was annihilated, the massive battle formation offensive of the other progenitors of the Tian Sheng Hun Yuan camp also enveloped them!
While Yuan was trapped inside the body of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor beside Luo Feng, a wisp of Yuan's thought transformed into a weak clone beside Luo Feng, which rapidly grew under the power supplied by Luo Feng!
While the main battle clone was destroyed, Yuan's clone had rapidly grown to 30-40% of its energy reserves. As it grew, it also burned its power to maintain the formation.

"Boom~~~"

Although the battle formation was slightly weakened, with the assistance of Wu Lan, Luo Feng, and Xing Mang, they managed to stabilize it for a moment, allowing Yuan's clone to quickly rise to a sufficient level of strength.

"His weak clone has risen to the level of a main combat clone so quickly?" The ancestors of the Natural Chaos faction felt a chill in their hearts.

The key figures in the cultivator ranks are Yuan, Luo Feng, and Xing Mang in that order!
Luo Feng already possessed exceptional defensive capabilities and unparalleled combat prowess! The combined killing move of the 'Infinite Serpent Ancestor and Endless Primordial Ancestor' had no chance of harming Luo Feng. Even the Infinite Serpent Ancestor's body couldn't possibly contain Luo Feng's blade!

As for the starlight? No way has been found yet to trap him.

Therefore, among these three, Yuan is relatively easier to target.

"Second knife!"

Yuan quickly recovered to his peak condition, and the eight lords unleashed their second strike without hesitation.

With the power of his companions bolstering him, Luo Feng wielded his blade, easily cleaving through the battle formation formed by numerous progenitors! The 'Primordial Progenitor' even attempted to withstand Luo Feng's blade with his own body.

Although Luo Feng was interested in knowing whether his sword or the body of the Primordial Ancestor was more powerful, he couldn't afford to waste any opportunities at this crucial moment.

With a flash of light, the blade easily evaded the Primordial Ancestor.

The Primordial Ancestor's enormous spherical body moved very slowly and couldn't stop Luo Feng's sword light at all!
"Do not--"

Another progenitor was struck down; it was none other than the 'Wind-Devouring Progenitor'.

The instant the blade struck, multiple forces erupted. This Wind-Devouring Ancestor had already split its power into billions of strands, and these billions of 'winds' scattered and fled. As long as it escaped one of these winds, it could survive.

However, an invisible wave spread, instantly annihilating 99% of the power.

Furthermore, forces such as thunder, annihilation, time and space, and life-severing power simultaneously annihilate all escaping 'winds' by following the senses.

Of the billions of winds, none can last even a moment.

All annihilated!
After being tested by the lords' 'Years Killing Array' and ranked according to the difficulty of killing, the Wind Devouring Ancestor's ability to survive is relatively weak, and it is completely restrained by the combined methods of the lords.

With a single move, it was annihilated. The other progenitors were too late to save it.

"The Wind-Eating Ancestor is also dead." The ancestors were somewhat alarmed.

"The third cut—"

Luo Feng and his team unleashed a third strike without hesitation.

The third strike failed. The ancestor's life resilience was stronger than expected, and he managed to hold on for a moment before being saved by the other ancestors. The five highest-level life forces saved him simultaneously, and the ancestor was rapidly becoming stronger.

The fourth cut was successful.

The fifth attempt failed...

Luo Feng and his eight lords unleashed eight consecutive strikes! Each strike cleaved through layers of defensive formations, and although weakened by the arrays, the remaining blade light remained terrifying. In the end, three of these progenitors perished.

"We underestimated Luo Feng's knife!"

“We had a total of 39 progenitors skilled in self-preservation working together, with all sorts of life-saving powers combined, yet we were still cleaved in two by his blade,” said the Mother of Time and Space. “In the glimpses of the future I observed, I couldn’t see Luo Feng. I thought… such a defensive combination would be more than capable of blocking the combined killing moves of these lords.”

“Luo Feng’s sword is somewhat special!” the Ancestor of Annihilation transmitted his voice. “I have a vague feeling that the sword is like the embodiment of the ‘Abyss of Destruction’.”

The Primordial Ancestor of Nirvana possesses the keenest perception of the crisis of death.

On this blade, the Primordial Ancestor of Nirvana sensed the threat of death, feeling as if he were about to return to the Great Nirvana.

“His blade made me feel a sense of threat as well,” the Primordial Ancestor said.

The other eight were all taken aback.

Who was the primordial ancestor? The only being in the endless primordial space capable of traversing the walls of the fiery hell, able to withstand all the flames of the fiery hell. It actually sensed a slight threat from Luo Feng's 'blade'.

"Its blade can break through all array barriers and strike the ancestor's body."

“Once he figurees out more details about our formation, there might be even more ancestors who die in battle.”

All nine emperors understood this.

In their initial clash, neither side had a deep understanding of the other's formations, yet they still managed to kill three Primordial Ancestors. If the battle had continued for a long time... perhaps they could have killed two or three more Primordial Ancestors.

"Are you confident you can break through the lord's battle formation?" the Endless Ancestor asked.

“There is no hope,” said the Mother of Time and Space. “Even if a lord is severely injured, Luo Feng can quickly restore his companion’s clone to its peak.”

All nine emperors understood this.

Yuan and Luo Feng are the key points!
They've tried Yuan's approach, but they haven't even considered trying Luo Feng's crucial point!
……

The remaining 86 ancestors suddenly retreated slightly, completely withdrawing their power, with the Nine Emperors at the forefront.

The eight lords also temporarily withdrew their power.

The two sides temporarily ceased hostilities.

This scene was also witnessed by the progenitors of various forces from afar, and they felt a pang of regret.

"In this confrontation, the Tian Sheng Hun Yuan camp lost."

"It can't be considered a complete defeat. The three ancestors who died were weak in their ability to survive. As for the remaining 86 ancestors... even the cultivator camp couldn't do anything about them. Moreover, the naturally formed chaotic origin camp still has more than 30 ancestors who didn't participate in the battle."

"Most of the progenitors who did not participate in the war were weak."

There is much discussion from all sides.

In any case, in the initial clashes of this war, the cultivators' camp gained the upper hand.

……

The Nine Emperors, along with numerous progenitors and eight lords, faced each other from afar.

"Eight lords of cultivators," the Infinite Serpent Ancestor's voice boomed, "Speak! What exactly do you want? Are you still not satisfied with forcibly occupying the Southern River territory? Do you still want to continue expanding?"

“Even if we occupy the Nanhe territory, we will only occupy 20% of the boundless Hunyuan space,” Yuan said. “While you have lost the Nanhe territory, you still occupy 40% of the territory, which is still twice as much as ours.”

"Yuan."

The Giant Emperor spoke, "After all, we have over a hundred progenitors, and countless world-class and advanced Chaos-Origin life forms. You cultivators only have eight lords, and world-class and advanced Chaos-Origin life forms are extremely rare... You don't need so many resources at all, so why compete with us?"

The Giant Emperor was originally an anti-war advocate, but it had to stand up for the vast resources needed by the Giant race.

"I can decide to cede the Southern River Territory to your cultivator camp," the Giant Emperor said, looking at Yuan. "But you must promise that you will not expand further from now on."

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor, the Originator of Fire, and others all fell silent, clearly indicating that this was also part of their plan.

If we can't win the fight, we'll cede the Southern River territory!
"Shall we promise never to expand?" Yuan shook his head gently.

"At the very least, you must not encroach upon the territory of my Natural Chaos faction again," the Giant God Emperor said. "As for you, the Ice Peak faction, and other forces, that's naturally none of our business."

Yuan, Luo Feng, and Xing Mang exchanged glances.

"In the endless years to come, our cultivator faction may produce a ninth, a tenth, or even more lords," Yuan said. "You expect us to promise never to expand into your territory with just the Southern River Territory? The Southern River Territory is already ours. Are you using our territory to force us to make such a promise?"

"What do you want?" the Infinite Serpent Ancestor asked in a low voice. It could tell that the cultivators were willing to talk, but they wanted more.

Yuan said calmly, "We don't have that much need for resources, but all beings in the Source World are of our kind, and we only have one requirement!"

"From this day forward, all the source worlds within your territory will forever belong to the leadership of our cultivator camp."

"As long as you agree, we can promise never to invade your Tian Sheng Hun Yuan camp."

The seven lords, Luo Feng, Xing Mang, Wu Lan, Ming Huang, Jin, Nai Gu, and Mo Man, all nodded slightly.

This was a decision they made together.

"All source worlds?"

The Nine Emperors and many other ancestors were all startled.

"Delusion!" The Infinite Serpent Ancestor could no longer contain himself.
