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

Jiang Ming himself hid behind the black giant rock, calmly observing the lava demon god, which was hundreds of billions of kilometers tall, in the distance through the shared vision of thousands of mental clones.

Those three eyes burning with a frenzied fighting spirit, the terrifying power that caused the vast black earth to crumble and sink with each stomp, and the speed and power that far exceeded the comprehension of the Lord of the Universe, almost 'breaking the law with force'.

"This is the Lava Demon God..."

Jiang Ming felt little fear; instead, a strong desire to explore arose within him.

His current physical body is still more than a million light-years away from the Lava Demon God's location. Even if the Lava Demon God were not so 'stupid' and possessed the wisdom of a cultivator, he would still be unable to do anything to him.

"What a terrifying demon!"

Jiang Ming's gaze was solemn. Through the perspective of his mental clone, the Lava Demon God's existence was like a moving, violent aggregate of laws, with a complex and tyrannical internal structure, much like a small universe filled with extreme destructive power.

The Lava Demon God was definitely the strongest Jiang Ming had ever seen. In Jiang Ming's perception, the Lava Demon God was even stronger than the Giant Axe Founder.

If it weren't for the low intelligence of the Lava Demon Gods, and the fact that all nine Lava Demon Gods gathered together, this 'God-Slaying Abyss' would surely be a forbidden place that everyone in the cosmic sea fears.

"These lava demons are indeed incredibly stupid, practically mindless beasts. But there seems to be a way to exploit them."

Jiang Ming thought to himself.

After observation, Jiang Ming was able to confirm that the wisdom of the Lava Demons was exactly as rumored, and that these Lava Demons had the characteristic of "patrolling their territory" in the "God Destroyer Valley".

They will not leave the 'Godslayer Valley', and during their patrols, they will indiscriminately attack any life that appears before them.

"The Lava Demon God's sensing range is also astonishingly large."

Even though some of Jiang Ming's mental clones were hundreds or thousands of light-years away from the Lava Demon God, they were still detected and instantly annihilated.

"However, this sensing range is exactly what I need to use."

A plan gradually took shape in Jiang Ming's mind. In the process of exploring the path through his mental clone, Jiang Ming discovered traces of many powerful beings in the universe.

Although the 'Godslayer Abyss' is an extremely dangerous place, it is not a forbidden place as long as you are careful to avoid the Lava Demon God. In addition, treasures often appear in the 'Godslayer Abyss'.

Therefore, powerful beings from the universe often linger there, and some even stay there for extended periods.

"The Lava Demon God's sensing range is within a thousand light-years. I can place a mental clone every thousand light-years to lure it to the location of powerful beings in various universes."

"Using the Lava Demon to annihilate those powerful beings in the universe might yield considerable benefits."

Jiang Ming thought to himself.

Jiang Ming felt no guilt whatsoever about summoning the Lava Demon God to annihilate powerful beings in the universe; in the cosmic sea, the law of the jungle had long been an ironclad rule.

But not long after, Jiang Ming dismissed the idea.

Far from the path explored by Jiang Ming himself, on the edge of a relatively 'calm' black plain in the God-Slaying Gorge, a scorching river of lava flowed slowly, emitting waves of heat that distorted one's vision.

This place is not safe; it's just a brief 'break' in the Lava Demon's daily patrol route.

At this moment, three figures were cautiously searching for something in this area.

They belong to the powerful race 'Qixiao Clan' of the Second Universe Era, led by a top-tier fourth-order Universe Lord 'Lord of the Bone'.

He was tall and thin, his body covered in grayish-white bone armor, with sharp bone spurs extending from his joints, and his aura was cold and violent.

The other two were his kin, both of whom were third-order universe lords.

“Brother, the feeling is correct. The fluctuation of ‘Hellfire Refined Gold’ is coming from the bottom of that lava lake in front.”

A Qixiao Clan Universe Lord whispered, "Hmm, be careful. The name 'God-Slaying Abyss' isn't for nothing. Get what you need and leave immediately. Don't linger."

The Lord of the Viper Bones spoke in a hoarse voice, cautiously sensing his surroundings.

Their clan excels in body tempering and close combat, and has long coveted 'Hellfire Refined Gold,' a top-tier material that can greatly strengthen the divine body and bones.

The three concealed their presence and, like ghosts, slipped into the churning crimson lava lake.

The pressure at the bottom of the lake is immense, and the temperature is high enough to melt the bodies of ordinary cosmic overlords, but it is still bearable for the cosmic lord.

Soon, they discovered several fist-sized pieces of strange metal with flowing dark golden flame patterns in a cluster of condensed dark red crystals. It was 'Hellfire Essence Gold'!
"It's really here!"

The Lord of the Viper Bones was overjoyed and was about to take it.

suddenly!

Boom! ! !
The entire lava lake, no, the entire area spanning thousands of light-years, was violently trembling without warning!

The floating sea of ​​lava above seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, creating towering waves!
An indescribable, savage, and violent aura, carrying an extreme will to destroy, descended with a deafening roar, as if the universe were collapsing!
"Oh no! It's the Lava Demon! How could he be here!"

The Lord of the Bone instantly changed his expression, his soul trembling under that aura.

"Run! Run now!"

The other two Qixiao Clan Universe Lords were terrified. They grabbed the Hellfire Essence Gold they had just acquired and frantically rushed upwards, trying to escape the lava lake.

However, it's too late.

A terrifying giant foot, composed entirely of pitch-black rock and blazing magma, with a diameter exceeding several light-years, slammed down from the magma sea above them, like the core of a fallen galaxy!

This step seemed to be just a casual step taken by that lava demon, which was billions of kilometers tall, as if it had just happened to walk by.

But this kick completely blocked all the escape routes of the three universe lords.

"Do not!!!"

"Block!"

The Lord of the Bone Demon's eyes widened in fury as he frantically burned his divine power. The white bone armor on his body erupted with blinding light, and layers of bone shield phantoms condensed above his head. At the same time, the phantom of a supreme palace treasure appeared, attempting to suck him into it.

The other two companions also used their own methods, either unleashing defensive treasures or employing life-saving secret techniques.

But in the face of that giant lava foot, all resistance seemed utterly ridiculous.

Snap! Snap!

The bone shield phantom, powerful enough to withstand the onslaught of a fifth-order universe master, shattered layer by layer like fragile glass.

The absorption power of the supreme treasure of the pinnacle palace couldn't even slow down the giant foot by a fraction of a billionth.

"Poof!" "Poof!"

The two third-tier Qixiao race universe lords were unable to even utter a scream the moment they were swept by the shadow of the giant foot's edge.

The divine body's structure completely collapsed, its consciousness was annihilated, and all divine power, understanding of laws, and life imprints were shattered and devoured by the magma flowing on the surface of the giant foot and the terrifying fluctuations it emitted, disappearing without a trace.

The 'Hellfire Essence Gold' they held tightly in their hands, along with the many treasures they carried, also instantly vaporized and decomposed, turning into the most basic energy and material particles, which merged into the giant foot, as if they had never existed.

Only the Lord of the Viper Bones, with his superior strength and faster reflexes, managed to retract half of his body back into the 'Viper Bone Nest,' a supreme palace treasure, in the fraction of a second before the giant foot truly crushed him. (End of Chapter)
