Swallowing the Stars, I am the Lord of the Galaxy

Page 333

Stardust stood in the center of the battlefield, the River Light Blade still sheathed, using only his finger as a blade to make a light slash.

"Star River - Broken".

A blade-like mark appeared across the starry sky, silently severing hundreds of warships in two along its path, the cut as smooth as a mirror.

Just as the enemy's Chaos Overlord was about to make a move, he saw Xingchen raise his eyes and look at him. Those star-like eyes made him freeze and dare not take a step forward.

Seven centuries later, in the ancient land of China.

The Qin Kingdom dispatched the "Nine Hells Demon Lord" to lead twelve Chaos Sovereigns to surround and kill the two.

In that battle, Mu Qing devoured eight Sovereigns, and the thunderous roar within his belly lasted for three months. Xing Chen's River Light Blade shattered the Nine Hells Demon Lord's treasure, the "Ten Thousand Demon Tower," and the residual power of the blade cleaved the entire Ancient God Mountain Range in two.

The news shocked the world when it reached both countries.

"Have you heard? That Devouring Great Sage has swallowed three more Sovereigns!"

"The Great Sage of the Stars is even more terrifying; it is said that he has already reached the realm of the God-King!"

"If these two join forces, they're probably invincible below the God-King level..."

Teahouses, restaurants, cultivation caves... countless cultivators were discussing this pair of powerful figures who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Their reputation even reached the ears of high-ranking officials in both countries.

Chapter 347 Fight

Deep in the battlefield, the smoke of war lingered, and the stars paled in comparison to the protracted struggle.

However, at this moment, the balance of power is tilting at an unprecedented speed—and all of this is caused by the existence of only two people.

In a war where the God-King does not appear, the Chaos Ruler is the supreme fighting force on this battlefield.

But now, ordinary Chaos Rulers are like lambs to the slaughter in front of Xingchen and Muqing.

Their power has exceeded reason, disrupted the balance, and caused a dramatic turn in this war that should have lasted for decades.

Inside the main hall of the Qin Kingdom's military headquarters, the sound of a messenger's hurried footsteps broke the silence.

"Report! A great victory at the front!"

The messenger, kneeling on one knee, spoke with a trembling voice, whether from excitement or fear, it was unclear.

Upon hearing this, all the generals in the hall gasped in shock.

Just six months ago, they were still struggling with the aggressive attacks from the Yuan Kingdom.

The old man in purple robes on the high seat—the Marquis of Xuanji of the Qin Kingdom's military—slowly opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming.

This ancient monster, who had lived for countless eons, was now finding it difficult to maintain his usual composure.

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said it three times, his withered fingers stroking his long beard, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

The smile contained both relief and a barely perceptible hint of apprehension.

"With these two here, our Qin Kingdom is assured of victory in this war!"

A silver-armored general below hesitated, as if he wanted to speak but couldn't. As a military strategist, he knew better than anyone that when one side had an overwhelming advantage in combat power, the balance of the war would tip completely.

Now, this advantage is in the hands of those two monsters—which is both a blessing and a curse.

Meanwhile, the Yuan Kingdom's military headquarters.

The oppressive atmosphere was almost suffocating. The once splendid halls now seemed shrouded in shadow.

"Defeated again..."

The voice of the "Star-Eating King" of Qin Kingdom was terrifyingly deep.

This powerful figure, known for his ruthlessness, appeared exceptionally powerless at this moment.

His wrinkled fingers tapped unconsciously on the armrest, each tap seeming to strike the hearts of everyone present.

The generals inside the hall fell silent, trembling with fear. Many of them were still wounded; they were incredibly lucky to have escaped from those two monsters.

An old man in black robes stepped forward with a stiff upper lip, his voice hoarse: "King of Star Devouring, according to our spies, the Devouring Great Sage has a powerful bloodline and is born with a strong devouring power. He currently resides in Xuanming City of Qin Kingdom, and the Star Great Sage is rumored to be the master of the Devouring Great Sage."

Inside the main hall of the Yuan Kingdom's military headquarters, the oppressive atmosphere was almost tangible.

The Star-Eating King slowly rose and strolled to the star map in the center of the hall.

The shimmering lights represent the fallen territories, and nearly half of them are now stained with the crimson color symbolizing the Qin Kingdom.

"Everyone..."

His voice was terribly hoarse.

"Is there any good solution?"

There was dead silence in the hall.

A female general clad in silver armor suddenly slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "Your Majesty! That Devouring Great Sage is nothing but a ferocious beast that eats raw meat and drinks blood. No matter how strong the Starry Sky Great Sage is, he has not yet reached the realm of God King. As long as we invite the strongest Great Sage in the country, the Heavenly Prison Ancestor, to take action, we will surely be able to defeat the enemy."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cold laugh.

"The Heavenly Prison Ancestor?"

A mocking voice came from the corner.

"The Ancestor is very strong, but he has the strength to devour the Great Sage. I'm afraid that even if he makes a move, he can only hold the line at most, not defeat him."

The female general glared angrily, but had no words to reply.

The Devouring Great Sage, a Chaos Ruler at the peak of his power, could only manage a stalemate with even the strongest Chaos Ruler.

The Star-Eating King rubbed his temples wearily.

Right now.

"Report——!"

The sound of hurried footsteps broke the deadlock.

The messenger stumbled into the hall: "Urgent report from the front! Hulun City... has fallen!"

"what?!"

The Star-Eating King suddenly stood up, and the throne beneath him shattered with a crash.

Hulun City is the most important frontline fortress of the Yuan Kingdom!

"It's...it's those two..."

The messenger's voice trembled.

The temperature in the hall dropped sharply.

An elderly general with white hair rose shakily: "Your Majesty, perhaps... we should temporarily withdraw our troops?"

This proposal was like a boulder thrown into stagnant water.

The Star-Eating King's eyes were bloodshot.

Withdrawing the troops? That would mean the Yuan Kingdom would abandon the territory it had conquered over countless millennia! But if it didn't withdraw…

He stared at the crimson spreading across the star map, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

"Send orders to all armies..."

Every word he uttered seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Hold your ground and await reinforcements."

This is tantamount to a withdrawal order.

After the generals had left, the Star-Eating King stood alone in front of the star map, gazing at the black dots that symbolized the two evil stars, his eyes filled with bitterness.

"If such a powerful figure were in my Yuan Kingdom..."

A long sigh echoed in the empty hall.

The Star-Eating King's gaze swept over every general present, finally settling on the white-haired old general.

"Ancestor of Heavenly Prison..."

He murmured to himself, as if weighing some important decision.

The atmosphere inside the hall grew increasingly oppressive.

Ancestor Tianyu, the oldest existing Chaos Ruler in the Yuan Kingdom, has reached the pinnacle of power and is only half a step away from becoming a God King.

"Kings!"

The silver-armored female general knelt on one knee, her voice resounding.

"Please, Ancestor, come out of seclusion! As long as he can hold off the Devouring Great Sage, we can gather all the Sovereigns and surely kill the Starry Sky Great Sage!"

A sneer came from the corner: "Easy for you to say."

"Shut up!"

The female general glared angrily.

"Are we just going to let them run rampant? Our Yuan Kingdom must not lose this battle!"

The Star Eater King raised his hand to stop the argument.

He walked slowly toward the sand table in the center of the hall, tapped it lightly with his finger, and a three-dimensional projection of the entire battlefield immediately appeared on the sand table.

"look here."

The Star-Eating King pointed to a star field.

"If the Heavenly Prison Ancestor could hold off the Devouring Great Sage here..."

He drew an arc with his finger: "We can gather the three top rulers, 'Xuan Yin,' 'Jiu Xiao,' and 'Tian Huo,' and set up an ambush here."

In the projection, three golden lights lit up simultaneously, forming a perfect triangular killing formation.

"Plus……"

A ruthless glint flashed in the Star-Eating King's eyes.

"Activate the 'Death Burial Array'."
