Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

"Well, I saw it!"

Looking at the energy-devouring beasts in the distance, Lu Yunhe was in a very good mood. After all, in his eyes, these ferocious beasts were all walking Chaos Units.

"Based on my observations over this period of time, there are more than five World Lord-level Energy Devouring Beasts and more than a dozen Domain Lord-level Energy Devouring Beasts on that white dwarf star, making them extremely powerful."

"Even if the two of us join forces, we still can't break through this formation."

Luo Tu shared the information: as a top genius in the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, being able to use his trump card to fight a World Lord level two levels higher than the cosmic level was already the limit; if he encountered a group of World Lords, he could only run away.

If you're unlucky, you might not even be able to escape.

“They are indeed difficult to deal with!” Lu Yunhe nodded. With his own strength alone, he could only deal with a high-level Domain Lord.

"So I prepared a simple plan: one person will act as bait to lure out those world lord-level energy-devouring beasts, while the other will rush to the lair to seize resources," Luo Tu said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunhe looked suspicious: "Then who will act as bait, and who will seize the resources?"

“Since it was my suggestion, then I’ll be the bait, and Yun Heming, you go and seize the resources.” Luo Tu said righteously, “However, since I’ve taken on a dangerous job, and I was the one who discovered this lair, I’ll take 60% of the final spoils.”

Lu Yunhe thought for a moment. Although he was also quite willing to be the bait, since the other party had taken the initiative, he decided to pass.

"Okay, I agree."

The two then briefly finalized the plan and happily began to take action.

boom……

An E-class orbital cannon shot from the depths of space toward the white dwarf, alarming all the intelligent trees within. Among them, the Lord-level energy-devouring beast reacted extremely quickly, taking the lead and directly blocking the orbital cannon.

A Lord-level energy-devouring beast stood in front of the orbital cannon, while the other Lord-level energy-devouring beasts angrily charged towards the spaceship, wanting to tear it apart.

"Come on, all of you!"

Faced with this situation, Lotu remained calm as he piloted the spaceship, activating all of its firepower systems and refocusing his attention on the distant white dwarf.

The commotion he's caused now isn't enough; he needs to expand the battlefield as far as possible.

Luo Tu's arrogant actions thoroughly enraged these behemoths. Not only the world lord-level energy-devouring beasts, but even many domain lord-level energy-devouring beasts rushed out from the white dwarf star.

"That's it!"

Seeing the commotion he had caused, Luo Tu laughed excitedly, but he soon stopped laughing because a Lord-level energy-devouring beast had already rushed in front of the spaceship.

Bang!

The energy-devouring beast, which was over a kilometer in size, slammed its claw onto the Lotu spaceship, interrupting the spaceship's firepower attack.

"Gulu!"

Facing an enemy two realms higher than himself at close range, even with confidence in the spaceship's defenses, Luo Tu couldn't help but feel nervous.

Although his meticulously crafted spaceship had strong defenses, it was ultimately just an inanimate object. Once it was truly surrounded by a world lord-level enemy, it would have no chance of escape.

"Lu Yunhe, don't let my sacrifice go to waste!"

Luo Tu swallowed hard and steered the spaceship to escape, but the enraged energy-devouring beasts couldn't stand it and gave chase.

At the same time, a small figure took advantage of the chaos to sneak up to the lair of the energy-devouring beasts.

Chapter 164 Luo Tu's Conspiracy

On a white dwarf!

After Luo Tu lured away a large number of energy-devouring beasts, Lu Yunhe concealed his presence and approached the lair of these giant beasts as closely as possible.

"Given the living habits of these energy-devouring beasts, why would such a large group gather here?"

Lu Yunhe was very curious. In the secret realm of the universe, a place that could attract a large number of giant beasts must contain some good things.

Just like the Dragon Tower and the Legacy of the Divine Generals...

This is also why Lu Yunhe was willing to spend more than a month to come here. He was somewhat disappointed after seeing the actual situation because the quantity was too small.

Lu Yunhe soon landed on this white dwarf star. As the lair of the energy-devouring beasts, this celestial body was only a little over a thousand kilometers long. Compared to the size of the giant beasts, it was not very big and could only provide a place to live.

"Hurry up!"

Looking at the traces of the energy-devouring beasts ahead, Lu Yunhe saw numerous craters extending into the interior of the white dwarf star, scattered across the celestial surface. He randomly chose a larger crater and rushed inside, figuring that something like a treasure must be located at the core.

The interior of the white dwarf, which is thousands of kilometers in diameter, is almost hollowed out, and its winding interior is very similar to that of ants.

"arrive!"

In just a few breaths, Lu Yunhe saw the light in front of the cave, as well as a surge of energy that seemed to be as powerful as a star. Moreover, this energy seemed to contain a kind of vibrant energy.

call out!

Lu Yunhe sped through the cave, and what came into view was a blue-green energy sphere, quietly illuminating the entire cave. Below the life sphere, dozens of young energy-devouring beasts, each over ten meters tall, were frolicking and playing.

"I see!"

Seeing this, Lu Yunhe instantly understood that this was probably one of the birthplaces of the Energy Devouring Beasts, which was why a large number of them had gathered together.

hum!

Just as Lu Yunhe's unfamiliar aura appeared, a massive energy-devouring beast, as large as a small mountain, slowly opened its eyes, and a terrifying aura permeated the entire white dwarf planet.

"not good!"

Startled awake by this aura, Lu Yunhe instantly regained his senses, a cold sweat appearing on his face. The peak of the Realm Lord level surpassed him by two entire major realms, an insurmountable gap in strength.

Of course, this applies to members of the cosmic level.

"No wonder those energy-devouring beasts chased Luo Tu so recklessly; it turns out there's a big one at home!"

Roar!

The awakened peak-level energy-devouring beast at the realm master level roared, one of its "cannons" aimed at the intruders, while the other "cannon" emitted a suction force that pulled many young energy-devouring beasts to its side.

At the same time, the energy-devouring beasts that were chasing Luo Tu noticed the unusual activity in their lair and immediately turned back, abandoning the iron shell in front of them.

"Success!"

Upon seeing this, Lotu, inside the spaceship, immediately put aside his worries and burst into unrestrained laughter.

"I'm a little sorry, Brother Yunhe, it's all because you're so outstanding," Luo Tu murmured softly, a deep hint of jealousy appearing in his eyes.

Just then, a terrifying burst of energy suddenly erupted from the distant white dwarf, and the next moment countless colorful energy beams shot out from the white dwarf.

With a loud "bang," the celestial body floating in space exploded, turning into countless meteorites.

"Truly a genius, one in tens of millions of epochs!"

Luo Tu controlled the spaceship to stay as far away from the battlefield as possible, fearing that he would be affected, and flew back more than a hundred kilometers before stopping.

What exactly is the situation?

Luo Tu waited anxiously in the spaceship, wanting to find out what was going on, but also somewhat afraid. After all, who knew what kind of trump cards the geniuses in the Primal Secret Realm were hiding?

Once the fighting ahead had subsided, Lotu cautiously piloted his spaceship into the battlefield.

The entire void was filled with fragments of white dwarfs and countless remnants of flesh and bones, clearly indicating that a fierce battle had taken place.

"Life signs detected..."

The spaceship's detectors suddenly detected a familiar life force, startling Lotu: "He's still alive!"

Without hesitation, Lotu opened the hatch and flew towards the detected location.

On a broken miniature meteorite, a pitiful figure crawls on the surface, showing no signs of movement.

"Brother Yunhe, are you alright?"

Upon seeing this, Luo Tu quickly flew to the meteorite and hurriedly helped the fallen figure up.

“Luo…Tu…”

When his body was touched, Lu Yunhe, who was almost dying, slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the familiar face, he instantly relaxed.

"Yunhe, what did you do? Those energy-devouring beasts just abandoned me and ran back like crazy. I couldn't stop them." Luo Tu helped the person to the front of him.

"This is one of the birthplaces of the Energy Devouring Beast. There is a ferocious beast at the peak of the World Lord level guarding its lair. It discovered me as soon as I entered, but luckily I used a method of mutual destruction."

Lu Yunhe, who had just awakened, spoke fluently, saying that as a cosmic-level being, his vitality was extremely tenacious.

"I see……"

A deep voice sounded behind Lu Yunhe, and then a sharp blade suddenly pierced through his body.

tear...

As he was speaking, Lu Yunhe stared in disbelief at the crystal dagger piercing his chest, his eyes filled with three parts disbelief, three parts understanding, and four parts hatred.

"This Godslayer Blade cost me a thousand Chaos Units. It's coated with a deadly poison, and even an immortal god would be affected if it were pierced by it."

Luo Tu's gloomy voice rang out, and the terrifying poison had already spread to Lu Yunhe's body and soul.

"Why…"

Before his death, Lu Yunhe asked a question, but Luo Tu offered no explanation whatsoever.

"Let's return to the primordial universe with regrets!"

Only after Lu Yunhe was completely dead, body and soul, did Luo Tu breathe a sigh of relief. As he searched for the treasures left behind, he slowly said, "You were my target from the beginning!"

"As a genius who appears only once every tens of millions of epochs, you must not have relied on your own talent, but must possess some kind of heaven-defying treasure."

Originally, Luo Tu was just an ordinary genius in the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, at the level of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.

As a result, during a secret realm, he accidentally killed a cultivator from the Primordial Realm and obtained a large inheritance from him, instantly soaring to great heights.

This experience taught Luo Tu a lesson: the more talented a person is, the bigger their secrets, and the greater the benefits they gain from outsmarting their opponent.

However, since it was in the core area of ​​the human race, Luo Tu didn't make many moves, only three or four times. However, the gains he made brought him to a level comparable to that of the members of the Primal Secret Realm.

Originally, after reaching this position, Luo Tu also wanted to retire from the business, since it was a bit dangerous. However, he never expected to encounter Lu Yunhe, a genius who appears only once every ten million epochs.

It wasn't that Luo Tu lacked willpower; the benefits were simply too great.

"As long as I can obtain the secret treasure on your body, even if I reach the World Lord level, I can become the most dazzling genius in the universe," Luo Tu said greedily.

"I see!"
