Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 343 The Power of a Single Strike

The Golden Horn Lord is right. Leng Jian is indeed a monstrous genius, but even the most talented have their limits. There are more than five thousand Universe Venerables, many of whom are Universe Overlords. How could he possibly kill them all?
It should be noted that, theoretically, any cosmic overlord could survive against the weakest cosmic ruler.

Although the weakest cosmic rulers rarely venture out, the strength of a cosmic overlord should not be underestimated.

A top-tier cosmic overlord can kill another cosmic overlord, but that requires using all their trump cards and killing moves, which is extremely difficult and by no means easy.

The Human Race's Cold Sword Venerable is indeed a powerful top-tier cosmic overlord, but it is simply impossible for him to kill more than five thousand cosmic venerables and cosmic overlords in one go.

Even the ruler of the universe cannot do this unless he possesses a supreme treasure of a higher realm.

Even if the Lord of the Universe had the ability, he couldn't possibly do that.

If we were to do that, we would inevitably anger the forces behind those cosmic venerables.

In the entire primordial universe, no force could withstand the collective accountability from the forces behind more than five thousand universe venerables.

"The Milky Way has resurrected the Azure Cloud Venerable who perished in this battle!"

The Lord of the Black Lotus said calmly:

"According to Venerable Bixiao, the Universe Venerable who killed them was a strange being with a tiger's head and a bear's body, dragging a scaled tail behind him!"

"There are three reasons why Xinghe believes it is the human Cold Sword Venerable!"

The Black Lotus Lord glanced at the cosmic lords who were looking over and continued:

"Firstly, Venerable Bixiao has been a being who has roamed the primordial universe for hundreds of billions of epochs, yet he has never seen or even heard of that unfamiliar universe venerable. This shows that he must be an imposter from some famous and powerful figure!"

"Secondly, the methods used by that unfamiliar cosmic venerable are exactly the same as those used by Venerable Cold Sword to suppress the Evil Palace Master and bring her to the Chaos City of the Human Race's Initial Universe!"

Thirdly...!

Looking towards the human camp, the Black Lotus Lord slowly said:
"Eleven Universe Venerables escaped from the scene. Among them, Hei Yu Venerable of the Prison Clan used a high-level palace treasure to save three of his fellow Universe Venerables. The other seven were all Universe Venerables of the Human Clan!"

"Everyone!"

Looking at the lords of the various universes, the Lord of the Black Lotus asked:
"The Black Jade Venerable of the Prison Clan is a top-tier universe overlord. Even he was forced to use a high-level palace treasure to escape. The Golden Axe Venerable and the Nine Flames Kingdom Lord of the Human Clan are only ordinary universe overlords at most. How come they were able to escape?"

"It must have been done by the human race's Cold Sword Venerable!"

The Demon Lord of Annihilation, who had remained silent during the argument between the Lord of the Netherworld and the Lord of the Netherworld, now spoke in a deep voice:
"Engineer Peng, you humans must give me an explanation!"

The quarrel between the Lord of the Netherworld and the Lord of the Netherworld was just a routine squabble between two hostile races, the human race and the demon race. It was nothing serious, and the ancient and powerful Lord of the Universe, the Lord of Annihilation, couldn't be bothered with it.

However, the Black Lotus Lord's revelation that the Cold Sword Venerable was the murderer who slaughtered more than five thousand Universe Venerables was a great opportunity to suppress the human race, and the Lord of Annihilation would naturally not let it go, so he took the opportunity to coerce them.

"that is!"

Emperor Yan, his eyes gleaming with excitement, shouted:
"Humans have always been arrogant and domineering. Now they have actually ignored the power of so many of our races and brazenly slaughtered more than five thousand Universe Venerables. They must pay for this blood debt!"

"Engineer Peng, your human race must give us an explanation!"

The Zerg Lord of the Azure Mound, his blood-red eyes gleaming with killing intent, looked toward the human camp and spoke coldly.

"That's right, Engineer Peng, you humans must give us an explanation!"

The Mechanical Race's Lord of Strings followed along the path of falling into the well.

The demon race, the insect race, and the machine race share borders with the human race, and their conflicts are the greatest. In this situation, they will not hesitate to join forces against the human race.

As for the Flame Emperor, it didn't care about the conflict between different races; it simply hated the human race and wished that all forces would join together to attack them. It was even more excited than the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race.

"Peng Gong, it's truly unacceptable that your human race has indiscriminately slaughtered so many Universe Venerables!"

The leader of the Prison Clan, the Crystal Clan, and the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, the Lord of the Universe, then spoke.

"Humans should indeed be held responsible for this!"

The cosmic lords of top forces such as the Thorn Ring Alliance and the Misty Alliance followed closely behind, speaking in unison.

"Agreed, the human race should take responsibility!"

The cosmic ruler of a secondary power echoed this sentiment. In an instant, the human race was targeted by almost every power in the primordial universe.

Upon seeing this, the Lord of Ice Peak, the Lord of Void Gold, and other human universe masters couldn't help but frown secretly.

"How can we be certain that the murderer is the Cold Sword Venerable of our human race based solely on the testimonies of the Black Lotus Lord and the Star River Lord?"

Looking at the surging crowd of cosmic lords from various races, Lord Peng Gong remained calm and fearless, and said with a smile:
"The Lord of the Galaxy didn't say it must be Venerable Cold Sword; it was just a guess!"

"For example, if the murderer is a renowned powerhouse in disguise, then naturally any top-tier cosmic overlord could be the culprit. Why must it be Venerable Cold Sword?"

"For example, the murderer's methods are similar to those of the Cold Sword King, which is ridiculous. The primordial universe is full of opportunities, so is there no one who has similar methods of killing enemies as the Cold Sword King?"

"The human race's Universe Venerable is alright? Could it be that this powerful figure is on good terms with one of our human race's powerful figures, and therefore is unwilling to kill him?"

"Everyone!"

His gaze swept over the numerous cosmic lords, and Lord Peng Gong continued:
"There are countless powerful individuals who are on good terms with our human race. Just because we are on good terms with our human race doesn't mean that our human race has to be responsible for the things we do, right?"

"That's right!"

The Lord of False Gold picked up the conversation and continued:

"To date, there is no evidence to suggest that the powerful figure is the Cold Sword Venerable of my human race. He has pinned the blame on my human race based on mere speculation. Does he think we human race are easy to bully?"

"Strong words!"

Emperor Yan said loudly:

"The facts and evidence are all there. No matter how you try to deny it, it's useless. Humanity must pay the price!"

'boom'

As soon as Emperor Yan finished speaking, a dark, murderous staff, carrying immense power, slammed towards him.

However, Peng Gongzhi, who appeared to be a cheerful and honest man, suddenly leaped into the air, his aura surging, and launched a fierce attack on Yan Di.

The speed was unbelievable; the tip of the staff was locked onto in the void a million kilometers away. With Yan Di's strength, he simply couldn't dodge it.

"Engineer Peng, do you think I, Emperor Yan, am afraid of you?!"

With a roar, Yan Di swung his 'Yan Shen Halberd', which was burning with raging flames, and slashed at the dark club that was attacking him.

'boom'

A terrifying force surged forth, and the Flame Emperor was instantly blasted back tens of millions of kilometers by a single blow. His divine body became unstable, and his aura weakened considerably.

"Is Engineer Peng really that capable?"

Emperor Yan was taken aback when he felt a sense of weakness and stagnation within his body.

Peng Gong's attack was mostly blocked by the 'Flame God Halberd', and the remaining power was weakened to one ten-thousandth by the top-level defensive armor on his body. Even so, it still almost crushed his divine body.

"This Peng Gong fellow is probably a fifth-order universe lord, just like the Chaos City Lord!"

Emperor Yan felt a chill run down his spine and immediately shut his mouth, refusing to utter any more nonsense.

Without the 'Armor of Calamity', he could very well be killed by a fifth-order universe lord.

"Damn it, it's all that old bastard, Zuo Shan Ke's fault! If it weren't for him...!"

Recalling the 'Armor of Calamity' he once wore, Emperor Yan once again felt hatred for his master, the Mountain Hermit.

The supreme defensive treasure, the 'Armor of Calamity,' can reduce physical attacks to one ten-thousandth of their original strength and increase the power of a peak World Lord by a trillion times. If the 'Armor of Calamity' were still here, I would never be in such a sorry state.

"Everyone!"

With a single blow, the Flame Emperor was sent flying. Master Peng surveyed his surroundings, his powerful aura soaring into the sky, domineering and unparalleled. He said calmly:

"Let's not make any unfounded guesses!"
