Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 158 Birth

This dark, pyramid-like structure is of unknown construction.

It doesn't look very big from the outside, but when Luo Shen entered, he discovered that its interior space was actually infinitely vast. Or rather, this dark pyramid-like structure was just a spatial point, connecting the abyss of purgatory with another mysterious place.

Luo Shen's gaze fell upon the enormous black vortex above his head.

Although he was curious, the faint aura emanating from the vortex and the subtle sense of danger in his mind prevented him from having any thoughts of trying it. He knew the saying that curiosity killed the cat.

In the endless void, many figures seemed to be hidden indistinctly.

From time to time, Luo Shen could hear faint sobs and sharp roars coming from afar, adding a chilling atmosphere to the dark space.

"Where exactly is this place?"

No one could answer Luo Shen's question; only the empty space and a few rays of light coming from somewhere offered a slight sense of peace.

He sensed the primordial world within his body.

He guessed correctly; there was indeed something in this black, pyramid-like structure, or rather, in this dark space, that could accelerate the gestation of the Abyss Lord's avatar.

What was originally just a simple cocoon is now beginning to emit a faint heartbeat.

Although the heartbeat was very faint and there was a long interval between each beat, Luo Shen, with his control over the Primordial World, was certain that he had indeed heard it.

Whoosh!

Luo Shen did not stay in one place, but wandered around this space.

Soon, he spotted something familiar.

A chain.

He had seen this chain on a black, pyramid-like structure, and he had entered this space by following one of the chains with a pointed spike attached to it.

Follow the direction of the chain.

A warehouse chain was seen floating in the void. At one end was a huge, pointed cone-shaped object, while at the other end was a demon of incredibly tall stature with lifeless eyes!

And this demon looked exactly like the demons that Luo Shen had seen before, the ones that pulled the black pyramid-like structures!

"So, those demons came from this space."

Luo Shen suddenly understood.

He tried to spread his Force and search other areas of this space. Perhaps because there was some kind of mysterious blockade in this space, Luo Shen's Force could not leave his body directly and could only be used within the range of his body.

On the contrary, consciousness is unaffected; it can spread directly, even more powerfully than in the primordial universe.

It's as if it's been magnified by some force.

Roar! !

As soon as Luo Shen regained consciousness, he immediately felt a huge roar in his ears, which startled him and left him somewhat at a loss.

Consciousness followed the direction of the sound.

It turned out to be a gigantic demon, its height comparable to the black pyramid-like structures outside. It was bound and restrained by chains, making it difficult to move and only able to let out mournful roars.

Consciousness continues to expand.

Gradually, Luo Shen discovered more demons entangled in chains.

This space seemed endless, without any distinction between up, down, left, or right. Fortunately, Luo Shen's consciousness was always able to find its "roots".

"Demons of this size should theoretically be much stronger than the demons outside, so why are they chained here? Or rather, who has the ability to chain them here?"

Luo Shen felt that if they could explore this place thoroughly, they might be able to find the deepest secrets hidden in the abyss of purgatory.

"It's best not to act rashly."

However, Luo Shen eventually gave up on the idea.

There are two main reasons. First, the Abyss Lord's avatar is developing very quickly in this space, and it is estimated that it will be ready in a few decades. Second, there is his strength.

Although he had the Mind's Eye Blade as his trump card, he didn't really have any advantage against these demons who were at the Immortal level.

"Once I leave the Abyss of Purgatory, I must increase my strength as quickly as possible!"

I don't plan to go to the Demon Mountain either.

Although it is indeed possible that the legacy of the Frost God General exists in the Frost Mountain, because Luo Feng occupied one of the Demon Sound God General's legacies, other legacies have gradually taken their places, so the legacies in the Frost Mountain are probably similar.

Wait until next time?

That would be after the 10081st epoch.

For a set of divine general inheritance secret techniques, he'd wait this long? Luo Shen didn't have that kind of leisure. If he had that time, he could probably have created his own divine body amplitude secret technique that could reach a hundred times the limit of the universe.

Just as Luo Shen was about to regain consciousness.

suddenly.

In the far, infinitely distant void, a massive black flame suddenly rose into the air, and a huge void appeared abruptly, accompanied by a terrifying aura that seemed capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, emanating from afar.

Roar! !

Throughout the entire space, all the demons chained together roared as if they had encountered a mortal enemy.

Each demon had a ferocious, angry expression on its face.

"drink!"

A deafening roar, like a thunderclap, echoed throughout the void, instantly silencing all the demons' howls.

"Could it be that the powerful being that imprisoned them in this space has descended?" Luo Shen wondered to himself, while hurriedly gathering his consciousness back into his body, because the sudden appearance of this being made him feel a strong sense of crisis.

He must find a way to save himself as soon as possible.

run?

This void is boundless; there is nowhere to run, nowhere to escape.

"What should we do?"

Just as Luo Shen was getting anxious, his gaze suddenly fell on the tall demons standing around him, or more precisely, on the chains on their bodies.

Since these towering demons are bound here because of these chains, these chains must have some special function. If we use these chains, can we avoid the gaze of that being?

Luo Shen didn't know either.

It was purely a desperate measure.

In an instant, Luo Shen transformed into a streak of light and flew directly towards the demon who was the slowest to react among the many demons, whose entire body was almost hunched over. The other demons still retained considerable fighting power, and if they were relied upon, they might be finished off immediately.

This demon, which has little ability to resist, is easier to bully.

really.

Luo Shen instantly transformed into a streak of light, his battle blade flashing with a cold light, slicing through the thick skin.

The hunchbacked demon merely raised its eyelids slightly, then made no further move.

This allowed Luo Shen's entire body to be hidden under his skin.

This demon looks tall, but in reality, it has been almost completely hollowed out, leaving only an empty shell with a few bits of flesh and tissue clinging to the bones, barely supporting its tall stature.

Luo Shen used his battle knife to clear a path, slicing through flesh and skin, and continued downwards until he was hidden behind the chain before stopping.

Even through the fur, Luo Shen could still clearly feel the terrifying energy hidden in the chain. If all its power were to be unleashed, it might be comparable to an attack from the 136 stars of the Wu Chen space-time.

There's no time to think about it.

Rumble~

A series of sounds that shook the very void came from afar. Amidst the towering black flames, eight black horses, their bodies shimmering with starlight, neighed and galloped from a distance. The horses' hooves trod on the black flames, their manes dancing like flames.

But their eyes are empty.

No eyes!

Behind the eight horses treading on black flames, a black gold chariot burning with black flames was being pulled. The entire chariot was dark gold, with a large number of secret patterns painted on its surface, which were shining brightly. On the chariot stood a black shadow that was over a hundred feet tall.

The dark figure was clad in ferocious armor, wore a black cloak, and had a half-black mask engraved with runes on its face.

At this moment, he was holding the reins in one hand and a huge black halberd that shone with black light in the other. He was quite terrifying. He was driving a chariot and came all the way from a distance. His momentum was even greater than that of the black pyramid-like building before.

Through the large pores of this demon, Luo Shen could vaguely see the raging flames that seemed capable of destroying the world!

As for the dark figure, Luo Shen could no longer see it.

Perhaps because of Luo Shen's gaze, the sharp-eyed shadow instantly focused its attention on the tall, hunched demon. A powerful pressure burst forth instantly, making Luo Shen, who was beneath the skin, feel clearly overwhelmed.

Fortunately, the chains provided some protection, and the other party's gaze softened immediately upon seeing this hunchbacked demon.

"Roar!!" "Roar!!"

Moreover, some oblivious demons were still roaring at the void, which also attracted the attention of the shadowy figure, who then rode his armor towards those demons.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound of wind breaking was heard, followed by the painful howls of several demons.

Clearly, the dark figure chose direct suppression, making these unfortunate souls suffer. At the same time, a gruff voice rang out: "You fools, behave yourselves!"

I don't know how much time passed.

The towering flames outside finally subsided, and the sound of the dark figure driving the chariot gradually disappeared, vanishing without a trace.

But Luo Shen dared not be careless.

Because his strength is far inferior to these demons, and even more so to that shadowy figure, once discovered, he has no choice but to surrender and wait for death. After all, the difference in strength is too great, and this is not a place where he can run wild for the time being.

Fortunately, with the hunchbacked demon as a shield, Luo Shen was not worried about being discovered.

So it quietly remained inside the body of the hunchbacked demon.

Just as Luo Shen was trying to sense the fundamental laws of space within this area, a blinding golden light suddenly rose from the hunchbacked demon god's body, spreading upwards until it was finally absorbed by the chain.

"Huh, what's this?"

Luo Shen suddenly felt a little curious. Could it be that these tall demons were bound to the spot by the chains because of this thing?

"If it happens once, it will happen again. I'll wait and see."

really.

Not long after, Luo Shen saw another burst of golden light. This time, he finally saw clearly how the dazzling golden light was born. It turned out that these golden lights were drops of golden blood, which were slowly drawn out from the bone marrow of the hunchbacked demon and then swallowed by the chains on its body.

"This must be the most precious demon blood from a demon!"

Luo Shen's heart stirred slightly.

Demons are skilled warriors, and their most precious possessions, besides their sharp teeth and claws which are comparable to weapons of war, are naturally their hearts and blood, which provide the most abundant energy to their entire bodies.

What you see before you must be the essence of demon blood!

Luo Sheng was about to make a move.

Then I noticed another key point.

It turned out that the golden blood absorbed from the marrow of the hunchbacked demon was engraved with tiny secret patterns, among which were fire patterns that Luo Shen was very familiar with. He had observed them in ancient images in the deep pit of the ancient god ruins on the Blood Luo Continent.

"Fire attribute runes, perfect for me!"

Luo Shen's heart stirred, and his body transformed into a stream of light, instantly intercepting the golden blood and the chain. His right hand expanded with primal force, transforming into a large palm that directly enveloped the golden blood, preventing it from escaping.

A drop of blood, naturally, could not escape Luo Shen's grasp and was easily manipulated by him.

The golden blood landed in Luo Shen's hand and instantly turned into a round, blood-red bead, about the size of a fist. Luo Shen could even smell a faint fragrance from it.

If you were to take this out and tell someone that it's demon blood, probably no one would believe you.

Luo Shen's gaze was fixed on the tiny patterns on the blood-red bead. The series of patterns was actually composed of a series of secret patterns of the fundamental laws of fire. Even with Luo Shen's current eyesight, he could not determine what kind of power this combination of patterns could unleash.

"Give it a try."

Luo Shen put the blood-red bead into the Primordial World.

Just as Luo Shen was about to enter the Primordial World, he was surprised to find that such a large bead had simply disappeared.

"How is this possible?"

Luo Shen rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Somewhat skeptical, he grabbed another blood-red bead that had just been absorbed. This time, he focused all his senses on the bead to prevent it from disappearing again.

This time, Luo Shen finally discovered the culprit!

It turned out to be the Abyss Lord's avatar, which was being nurtured at the core of the Primordial World. As soon as the blood-red bead fell into the Primordial World, it was instantly decomposed into streams of blood energy, which were directly devoured by the Abyss Lord's cocoon.

After the two blood-red beads were swallowed, Luo Shen could clearly feel that the Abyss Lord's avatar's heartbeat had become stronger.

"I haven't even had a taste, and you've already stolen it from me?"

Looking at his clone that was still in the process of being conceived, Luo Shen was both angry and amused, and he didn't know what to say. If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't conceived yet, he would have given it a good beating even if it were his own clone!

"Fine."

Luo Shen shook his head helplessly. Since the blood-red bead was helpful in nurturing the Abyss Lord's avatar, he would continue collecting it.

It's also very beneficial to develop it sooner rather than later.

With this reason, Luo Shen naturally began to intercept the blood with all his might. Every drop of the absorbed golden blood was intercepted by Luo Shen and then poured into the Origin World to supply the Abyss Lord's clone.
