Swallowing the Stars: Level 1, One Talent, Invincible Chaos Origin

Chapter 222, The Bloodthirsty Slaughterer

Within the hazy, illusory starry river, various strange lights and mists filled the air.

"Run! Run quickly! It's Zhao Yun, a human!"

"Don't avenge me, run away!"

Six figures, their bodies like transparent crystals, exuding a powerful aura, were fleeing madly. The leader, whose aura was the strongest, suddenly stopped his retreat and turned to fight.

His divine power burned wildly, and his aura surged tenfold. The powerful fluctuations of his divine power annihilated all matter within tens of thousands of miles.

"Big brother!"

"team leader!"

The other five Carlos Clan King-level experts were filled with grief and indignation upon seeing this scene, their hearts bleeding with hatred, yet they dared not stop.

"You are the strongest. If you escape with them, you have the best chance of getting away."

A chilling voice reached Matoha's ears, a voice as cold as the darkest black hole in the universe, possessing a power that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Zhao Yun!!!"

Matoha roared, stretched out his hand, and the invisible threads in the void formed a giant net that enveloped Jiang Ming.

“Your ‘Carlos Clan’ is nothing but a weak race. You don’t even have a Lord of the Universe. If you perish, the chance of returning is almost zero.”

A blood-red figure appeared in the hazy starry sky as if teleported, but upon closer inspection, the figure was clearly wearing a bright silver armor robe.

But the bright silver armor that shimmered with divine light was completely inconspicuous under the endless bloodlust surrounding him.

"Zhao Yun! You, a king at the pinnacle of your power, have slaughtered countless other kings! You will be brought to justice sooner or later!"

Matoha's roar echoed in the colorful mist of light. The giant net woven from the threads of the void contained the unique spatial confinement technique of the Carlos race. Like a net covering the sky and the earth, it blocked all of Jiang Ming's escape routes.

The network cable flickered with a dangerous, eerie light, and wherever it passed, even the unstable space of the Illusionary Star River was forcibly smoothed and solidified.

However, faced with this deadly net that was enough to trap and kill an ordinary peak-level king, Jiang Ming's crimson eyes remained completely calm.

He didn't even look at the net; his gaze seemed to pierce through Matoha's divine body, looking directly at the burning resolve and grief at the core of her soul.

"You are rewarded for your courage. If they can take a bullet from me, they may leave."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Ming took a step forward.

The gleaming silver spear moved forward naturally with his steps, and a cold glint flashed at the tip of the spear. The space that should have been firmly sealed seemed to loosen under this spear.

The spear tip seemed to traverse the dimensions of space, directly bypassing the giant net cast by Matoha, traversing tens of millions of miles, and simultaneously striking the five Carlos kings.

"laugh!"

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no violent clash of laws.

Those five figures, as if encountering their nemesis, ice and snow, silently crumbled and melted away from the point where the spear tip landed.

The immortal divine power that constituted the divine body continuously dissipated and collapsed, eventually leaving not even a speck of cosmic dust behind.

"What? No!! No!!!"

Matoha's pupils constricted sharply, and his expression became as if he had gone mad.

"Roar!!!"

Matoha let out a final, unwilling roar, and his crystal-like divine body burst forth with an extremely dazzling light, as countless void threads frantically collapsed and condensed inward!
After a deafening roar, a terrifying explosion of divine power occurred.

The self-destruction of a peak-level King-level expert's divine body is enough to easily kill a high-level King-level expert, and it also poses a threat to a peak-level King-level expert. If the timing is right and luck is extremely good, it may not be impossible to kill a peak-level King-level expert.

Faced with such a self-destructive force, Jiang Ming remained unmoved. He simply pointed his spear tip, and the divine power emanating from him was dispersed with a single strike.

Jiang Ming sheathed his gun and stood with his eyes slightly closed. The murderous aura around him seemed to have solidified slightly after killing Matoha.

Deep within those crimson eyes, the savage instincts of the 'Beast God' seemed to let out a joyful growl. He closed his eyes slightly, sensing the mysterious rhythm of the 'Beast God's Heart,' which seemed to have become clearer by a tiny, insignificant detail.

In the distance, Star Illusion King watched all of this quietly.

She was no longer as shocked as she had been at the beginning. Along the way, she had watched Jiang Ming act like the most precise killing machine, easily reaping the lives of renowned kings and powerful figures throughout the universe.

"I seem to have become the only witness on this bloody journey."

Star Illusion King whispered to himself.

She knew very well that if she stayed, she probably wouldn't be of much help.

She might even become a burden when facing truly powerful individuals.

But for some reason, watching Jiang Ming's figure gradually being shrouded in blood, she couldn't convince herself to leave.

This is not merely out of a sense of duty to teammates, or a commitment to the shared goal of obtaining the Holy Decree Fragments.

On a deeper level, there is an indescribable attraction, an impulse to witness the birth of a 'legend' firsthand.

She wanted to see how high this man named 'Zhao Yun' could ultimately reach on this blood-soaked road.

……

As time went by, more and more princes died under Jiang Ming's spear.

His infamy had reached its peak, and the title of 'Bloody Slaughterer' had spread like wildfire.

The bounty for 'Zhao Yun' has quietly disappeared without anyone noticing, but more and more powerful figures at the King level are paying attention to 'Zhao Yun's' location. However, unlike before, they were doing so because of the bounty.

Now, however, it's to avoid the area where 'Zhao Yun' is located.

However, all of this did not stop Jiang Ming's steps.

The killing never ceased, the battle never stopped, and one powerful figure after another perished under the tip of his spear.

The fighting and killing became even more brutal.

As the battle and carnage intensified, Jiang Ming's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and the light of his 'true nature' within that crimson light became increasingly clear.

He felt that the thin membrane separating him from the complete 'Heart of the Beast God' was thinning.

He needs stronger, purer killing!
He needs an opponent who can truly unleash his full potential on the brink of life and death!

On this day, Jiang Ming and Star Illusion King had just wiped out a top-tier demon alliance team composed of seven peak-level Kings.

Jiang Ming was still immersed in the rhythm of the beast god's battle he had just captured when suddenly he looked up sharply in one direction.

"Is that a powerful being teleporting?"

Star Illusion King spoke with some doubt. She sensed the fluctuations caused by the spatial teleportation, and the space within a light-year radius of where they were standing had long been sealed off.

Spatial teleportation cannot land within this light-year; it can only land outside this light-year.

Given the great distance and the suppression of will by the special environment of the Illusionary Star River, even the Star Illusion King could only perceive a very slight spatial fluctuation.

After all, even with the 'Fragment of the Holy Decree' offsetting the environmental pressure, Star Illusion King's will is still not enough to ignore the will pressure of the surrounding environment.

"Hmm, if they dare to come to us on their own initiative, they might be a big fish."

Jiang Ming's eyes were expectant, a hint of fervor gleaming in his bloodshot gaze.

Upon receiving Jiang Ming's confirmation, Xinghuan Wang's expression immediately became extremely serious. Given Zhao Yun's current reputation, the fact that someone would still dare to come to his door meant that this must be a powerful individual who was extremely confident in their own strength.

Is this the limit for becoming a king? Or...?

"Invincible as a king?"
