A streak of bloody light shot up into the sky, piercing the entire Eternal Void Space from top to bottom. He Li swung his Corrupted Blood Forest, slashing towards the Star Devouring Beast King. Pure white divine power mixed with scarlet blood energy, crashing like a tidal wave.
With a distant, faint hum, the Star Devouring Beast King was repelled tens of thousands of feet, crashing into the vast expanse of stars.
He Li was shocked. The hand holding the saber trembled. The recoil from that strike had sent his blood and energy surging. Half of his body was the Demon God's physique, and the other half was the divine body. How could he be made to tremble? Was his physique not as powerful as the Star Devouring Beast King's?
"Roar..."
The Star Devouring Beast King suddenly roared. Its immensely colossal divine body, even in the vast starry sky, could only reveal a small portion. A strange, boundless aura erupted from its body, rippling through the starry sky. All the stars in the sky began to fall like rain.
The next moment,
All the falling stars converged into the Star Devouring Beast King's body.
He Li raised his saber and charged towards the Star Devouring Beast King, leaving behind two colors of pure white and scarlet. His aura was grand. He wanted to stop the Star Devouring Beast King from gathering its power. When the Star Devouring Beast King was in its normal state, he could barely defeat it. If it were allowed to forcibly swallow the starry sky, he would undoubtedly lose.
Boom!
He Li was sent flying by the surging aura. The entire sky was covered in white mist, which was the power of the Law of Time.
He Li steadied himself and extended his right hand, applying the Law of Time to the myriad laws in the sky.
But, it was too late.
The white mist gradually dissipated, and the power of the laws scattered. A middle-aged man in black armor stood in the void, holding a black trident, which resembled an ceremonial weapon from ancient Chinese imperial courts, exuding a restrained majesty with a hint of killing intent.
"Damn it!" He Li was furious. The Star Devouring Beast King had succeeded. At the same time, he cursed Cheng Xilin for being unreliable. If Cheng Xilin had killed the Star Devouring Beast King first, he wouldn't be in such a predicament.
He Li pondered whether he should retreat first and betray Cheng Xilin. After all, he wasn't inexperienced in betraying teammates and had no psychological burden.
But then, he thought again, no!
Xia Keduo was still drifting in the River of Time. He had to find him and return him to Lord Yishu. Xia Keduo had been banished to the River of Time for his sake. Now that he had some strength, he couldn't abandon him.
Damn it!
Damn it!
He Li couldn't help but curse again, not sure who he was cursing. He cursed Cheng Xilin, himself, and even more so, the Lord of Time. Since he was already here, he would fight!
He Li furrowed his brows, unleashing his divine power completely. Two vast surges of power erupted from the ground. One was Star God Power, and the other was Blood Killing Qi. White and red, they struck the Star Devouring Beast King from the left and right. The power of a Divine King was fully displayed, and then, he charged forward, directly at the Star Devouring Beast King.
The Star Devouring Beast King looked up at the charging He Li, swung its trident, and unleashed a strange power. It first shattered the two surges of power, then, wielding its trident, it clashed with He Li.
As they collided, earth-shattering shockwaves erupted, spreading out and cleansing the entire Eternal Void Space.
There was no sudden burst after suppression, no ancient, golden power descending. There was only silent combat. In a flash of lightning, they had clashed countless times. Streaks of afterimages were left in the sky. The blood saber and the trident collided with piercing sounds, creating ripples.
The surging divine power transformed into strands that hung down from the sky, colorful and vibrant.
He Li wielded his blood saber, piercing the barrier projected by the trident, like a water droplet piercing a stubborn rock, striking the Star Devouring Beast King's black armor heavily.
At the same time,
The Star Devouring Beast King did not choose to retreat immediately. Instead, it locked the blood saber with its trident and punched He Li's shoulder.
Boom!
Both were repelled a thousand feet by the opponent.
Pieces of the Star Devouring Beast King's black armor fell off, revealing its robust physique. It looked at He Li coldly, its calm eyes filled with the resolve to fight to the death.
He Li placed his blood saber horizontally in the void before him, raised his hand, and grabbed his shoulder. With a click, he reset the dislocated bone, then kicked the blood saber.
The blood saber shot out, and He Li followed closely, grabbing the tail of the blood saber and charging towards the Star Devouring Beast King like an arrow.
The Star Devouring Beast King held its trident horizontally, blocking the blood saber, while simultaneously bending its knees and charging at He Li.
He Li also instantly raised his leg and bent his knee, colliding with the Star Devouring Beast King.
Clang!
Both the blood saber and the trident were sent flying.
He Li closed the distance, swung his right arm, carrying the mighty power of a Divine King, and hammered He Li's shoulder heavily.
Bang!
The Star Devouring Beast King's body remained still. Relying on its more powerful physique, it withstood He Li's full-power strike.
He Li felt a bitter struggle within him, and at the same time, he clearly understood the concept of "there's always someone better." Being invincible in one area did not mean being invincible in the world. Not to mention Cheng Xilin and the Lord of Time, who were stronger than him, even the physique of the Star Devouring Beast King before him was much stronger than his.
The Star Devouring Beast King did not give He Li time to be stunned. Almost simultaneously, it punched He Li in the abdomen.
He Li was blasted away. Before he could stabilize his body, he reached out and caught the falling blood saber. Using the force of the Star Devouring Beast King's punch, he spun his body and slashed down with the saber.
Clang!
The blade struck the trident, and a deafening roar echoed through the heavens and earth.
The two sides began a new round of fierce combat and collisions.
During the battle, as He Li used more and more divine power, the sea of stars in his spiritual consciousness began to churn, raising huge waves.
The corpses of tens of thousands of great demons in the sea of stars also began to roar.
He Li felt the world before his eyes changing, becoming distorted. His mind was filled with the furious roars of countless great demons. They were enraged, unwilling, and resentful. More and more immense demonic power broke free from the seal of the sea of stars and rushed out.
He Li's body was moving in a rhythmic pattern. Demonic energy seemed to be about to burst out of his body. His body contained the sealed corpses of ten thousand great demons, and these corpses contained endless demonic power. At this moment, when the Star God Power was weakest, they completely broke through the seal, like ten thousand beasts released from their cages, roaring within He Li's body.
He Li was repelled by the Star Devouring Beast King.
He Li, with his last shred of clarity, raised his hand towards the Star Devouring Beast King. The spatial cube flew out, and gritting his teeth, he forced a low groan from his throat,
"Space-Time Seal."
The cube, combining space and time, instantly expanded, engulfing the Star Devouring Beast King.
Gaining a moment of respite, He Li immediately focused his mind, mobilizing his Star God Power to suppress the demonic energy that was about to burst out.
At this moment,
Cheng Xilin's voice echoed in He Li's mind: "Use Star God Power to fuse with demonic energy and temper a stronger physique."
"Damn it! It was you who arranged this, you scoundrel! Just you wait. Once I finish them off, I'll settle the score with you."
He Li cursed inwardly, then, stabilizing his mind, he drew more Star God Power to converge within his body, suppressing the demonic energy.
