Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

"who are you?"

Mengxi's expression was a mixture of panic and fear, and her whole body trembled slightly, making her look delicate and frail.

"Stop pretending!"

Lu Yunhe glanced at it. As the famous Dream God, he wasn't born a saint. He had risen step by step from a weak Dream Eater to his current status.

Putting aside strength for now, their temperament and willpower are absolutely fine. Unless one is born a true god, anyone with a weaker will and temperament would never reach the position of a true god.

Few of these characters are truly innocent and kind.

Lu Yunhe neither killed her nor controlled her; he even gave her some benefits. The Dream Goddess has probably already returned to normal.

"An extraterrestrial demon, or a demon of an era!" Mengxi leaned gently against Lu Yunhe, her tail, which had been wrapped around his thigh, loosened and teased the man before her.

Extraterrestrial demons, as the name suggests, are beings that originate from outside the Great World of Origin.

In any case, any powerful being that suddenly appears, or anything completely incomprehensible, can be attributed to extraterrestrial demons.

Although the true god is not omniscient and omnipotent, he has a very high level of knowledge about things in his own world.

Just like a scientist seeing a magical artifact, they would either think it came from aliens or people from a parallel world, rather than something created on the other side of the continent.

As for the Demon of the Epoch, it naturally originates from the previous epoch.

Because of the unique nature of the profession system, even supreme gods comparable to the ultimate realm cannot transcend the cycle of eras. After all, it is not a cultivation system centered on oneself, but rather too closely connected with the world.

The cycle of the source world is not simply about destroying the world's matter and then reshaping it; it also involves changes in the origin and rules.

Even the supreme god who grasps the origin of the Great Dao is not exempt from the cycle of reincarnation.

However, life always finds a way. After all, they are beings comparable to the ultimate realm and will try various methods to break through the highest cycle of reincarnation. A trace of spirit, a wisp of will, and some will even leave behind some broken relics.

These relics sometimes remain intact even after several epochs, making them the things that true gods and demigods are most eager to find.

Because of the nature of their professions, each era also gives rise to some supreme divine officials who are incredibly efficient.

If one is fortunate enough to survive to the next era, one can still try to take up a new post, provided that one can win the Dao War.

"you guess?"

Lu Yunhe stroked the pointed ears of the woman in his arms, gradually releasing the pressure on her mind and allowing her to relax completely, revealing a look of comfort on her face like that of a small animal.

Although Lu Yunhe didn't say it, Mengxi had a vague guess about the previous invasion of extraterrestrial demons that involved the Origin World.

Although it did not have a substantial impact on the world.

But it was still a rare invasion by extraterrestrial demons, and the fact that a true god had died was enough to shock all the gods.

However, the event was very short-lived and soon came to an end, but that doesn't mean the gods forgot about it.

Because he was not a true god with a fighting spirit, Mengxi did not choose to participate at the time, but instead stayed obediently in his own divine kingdom.

I heard that in the end, the Supreme God of Space personally intervened to defeat that extraterrestrial demon… Now it seems…

Mengxi had an answer in her heart, but she did not take any further action.

The biggest problem for extraterrestrial demons is that they are not recognized by the world and are targeted by it. However, as cultivators, they actually want to communicate with these people from outside the world to broaden their horizons.

Thinking about the insights she had in her mind, Mengxi also kept them to herself.

Now that even the world thinks there's no problem, then there's even less of a problem on their side.

"Lord Motian, Mengxi still has some questions in her mind and hopes to receive your guidance," Mengxi said softly, pursing her lips.

She was genuinely puzzled. As a true god of the Dream Path, there weren't many beings who could communicate with each other. Otherwise, she wouldn't have personally guarded this Dream Dimension, hoping to obtain some spiritual energy from the heavens and earth.

During their spiritual communion, Mengxi gained some of Lu Yunhe's understanding of the Way of Dreams, which greatly shocked her, and she couldn't wait to ask him for guidance.

"Don't worry!"

Lu Yunhe sorted out his thoughts before dealing with the monster in his arms.

No discourse arose; the speed of verbal communication was too slow. Faced with the vast and boundless Dao, spiritual communication was far more efficient.

Through his communication with the Dream God, Lu Yunhe gained a deeper understanding of the dream dimension. The virtual dream world expanded rapidly, constantly eroding the origin of the dream dimension.

The Dream God also wanted to use the dream dimension to advance himself further, so he stayed in the dimension, but in the end, it all benefited Lu Yunhe.

As for Meng Shen, he was naturally not at a loss either, as he was completely immersed in comprehending another aspect of the Great Dao, never having imagined that his professional path could be cultivated in this way.

With Lu Yunhe, the Dream God felt as if she had seen the true gate to the Great Dao, which was welcoming her.

Mengxi cast aside all the troubles of the outside world and indulged in paradise.

……

The Abyss - Nightmare Layer!

After sending a batch of demons as fertilizer for the construction of the Dream City, Lu Yunhe's Demon Lord clone in the abyss severed its connection with the main world and continued to cultivate the abyss world it was in.

Invading the main world or the astral universe is of little significance to him; if he's going to invade, he'll invade the Abyss directly.

As the cancer of all worlds, it has been invading and devouring the abyss of other worlds, never expecting that someone would set their sights on it.

The Demon Lord stood on the cloud realm, looking down at his army of demons whose faces were contorted in pain.

Although a large number of demons were sent to the City of Dreams, the Demon Lord's status and strength easily made up for this loss.

The demons wore expressions of pain, as if they were suffering from some kind of severe mental torment. In an instant, a large number of demons were completely annihilated.

Some demons struggled out of their torment, their eyes gleaming with wisdom, but the next moment they sank back into their suffering, unable to escape the cage that bound them.

Unseen by these demons, strands of spiritual power, imbued with individual will, flowed into the world, even touching its very essence.

"The Demonic Hell is working well..."

Looking at the demon below, Lu Yunhe couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

Using these demons merely as tools for killing is a waste; it would be better to turn them all into dry-cell batteries and squeeze every last drop of usable material out of them.

As the Lord of the Demon Realm, he naturally created his own unique virtual universe—the Demon Realm Hell, a hell that affects the mind.

Treat these demons like dry batteries, constantly tormenting and squeezing their spirits to extract the power of their soul's origin.

By harnessing the power of these demons' soul essence, the Demon Lord can use it as a source of faith. After his special processing methods, it can be used not only against enemies but also for daily cultivation, and even to influence the origin of the world.

It's a win-win-win situation; all we need to do is make these demons suffer.

Moreover, if a demon is able to break free from the spiritual hell, it means that some soul qualities are worth nurturing.

If one cannot escape, one will be completely consumed by hell. One's body can become food for other demons, and one's soul, reduced to an empty shell, can be used as material, making use of waste.

If cultivators loosen their grip a little, demons are nothing to them; demon gods can't defeat true gods.

Chapter 854 The Duke of Fear

Tatata!

"My lord, the latest news from the front lines is that we have now reached the borders of the Lord of Fear's territory," a high-ranking demon in armor said, kneeling on one knee.

The high-ranking demon, kneeling on one knee, glanced at the demon in the Demon Heaven Hell on the other side. His originally composed expression flashed with a hint of panic for a moment. He then quickly looked away and lowered his head firmly.

Even high-ranking demons cannot escape going to that Demon Realm to undergo hellish trials.

However, compared to those lower-ranking demons, higher-ranking demons also have a certain status and do not need to be tempered to death in the Demon Heaven Hell.

After all, a high-ranking demon still needs to lead his demon subordinates to conquer foreign lands and defend their territories, so it's not good for him to become a complete mental idiot.

But the hellish trials of the Demon Heaven are still firmly imprinted in their hearts.

In the eyes of these demonic subordinates, the Demon Lord was the true demon of the abyss.

Compared to the Demon Lord, the other lords are utterly unworthy of the title of demon.

Of course, the Demon Heaven Hell isn't all bad. As long as you can withstand it, it is indeed a test, but the difficulty will exceed your own limits every time.

If you can't break through, then just sink completely.

"Dreadlord!"

Lu Yunhe looked at the information handed to him by his subordinates. With his support, the expansion of the territory was happening at a rapid pace.

After all, he wasn't a native abyssal demon; besides this Demon Heaven Hell, he also brought a lot of new technologies.

Just like the armor on the high-ranking demon in front of him, it was a weapon he manufactured in an assembly line manner, combined with demonic arcane arts he created on the spur of the moment.

These demons, once they can withstand the trials of the Demon Heaven Hell, can easily fight against many, which leads to their rapid expansion of territory, and they soon border other demon lords.

So far, the Demon Realm has bordered four demon lords, resulting in a four-front war.

In this situation, the territory still had the ability to continue expanding outwards, and then it came into contact with a demon lord.

Dreadlord!

Unlike the other four neighboring demon lords, the Fear Lord is renowned throughout the Nightmare Layer, and his fame has even spread to other abyssal worlds.

Unlike demons of other ranks, demon lords span two class ranks, Legendary and Mythical, resulting in an astonishingly large difference in strength.

After all, the difference in strength between each level is huge, let alone the difference between a whole realm.

Therefore, some legendary demons are even called Demon Grand Dukes, second only to the Children of the Abyss.

The Lord of Fear is a legendary powerhouse, also known as the Grand Duke of Fear in the Nightmare layer.

It's no wonder that the messenger demon was quite nervous about coming into contact with such a powerful being.

"My lord, please give us your next instructions!" the armored demon said nervously.

Facing their direct superior, these demons dared not have any intention of resisting. However, the thought of opposing the infamous Demon Grand Duke still made them somewhat apprehensive.

It wouldn't be a problem if it were any other demon lord, but the Demon Grand Duke...

“The Fearful Duke, if I remember correctly, its true form seems to be a Nightmare Beast…” Lu Yunhe murmured.

"Yes...yes!" the armored demon stammered. The Grand Duke of Fear only made it a little intimidated, but the lord in front of it was the one it truly feared.

What fearful duke? The armored demon felt that no demon could be more terrifying than the lord before him; he simply didn't regard demons as demons at all.

"According to rumors, it seems that a group of Dream Eater beasts fell into the abyss in ancient times, and then multiplied and transformed into Nightmare Beasts, becoming one of the branches of the demon race."

Although they are all called Abyss Demons, the differences between them are quite significant.

Below the Demon Lord, it can be considered a demon in most people's concept of life.
