Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Upon arriving at the origin of the Dream World, Mengxi was utterly awestruck.

What an exquisite structure of the world's origin! Compared to the Dream Realm, the Dream Kingdom that Mengxi created herself is simply child's play.

The rules and structure, the faintly visible primordial patterns—the Dream God had never seen such a terrifying primordial framework before.

Although it is just a framework and does not contain the actual essence, does that matter to the true God?

"Could the Supreme God truly accomplish this? Or did He witness reincarnation and gain new insights?"

Mengxi was deeply shocked, feeling that this Dream Realm had transcended the concept of gods, such as true gods and supreme gods, and reached another dimension.

With just one glance, Mengxi was plunged into a state of enlightenment, feeling as if the fundamental principles of heaven and earth were laid bare before her.

The little temper tantrums that had just been there vanished without a trace, replaced by a single-minded focus on comprehending the Great Dao.

If she could grasp even a fraction of it, it would be enough for her to reign supreme among the true gods. If she could receive guidance from Lord Demon Heaven, she might even be able to contend with the main god.

Mengxi had had some ideas about becoming a main god before, but they always felt unrealistic. Now, however, she felt that she had grasped a bit of reality.

That is... sucking up to someone powerful!

"Such a terrifying dream world, yet it's disguised as a virtual world, there must be an even bigger scheme behind it," Mengxi thought to herself.

But it has nothing to do with her; even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.

While Mengxi was engrossed in analyzing the origin of the world, she did not forget about expanding the Dream Realm. In fact, because she was already in the Dream Realm, it was very convenient for her to make arrangements.

Soon, the Dream Realm spread completely throughout a true god's kingdom.

With the added benefits from the Flower Garden Kingdom, the Wilderness, and other regions, even Lu Yunhe, who was in the Dream Dimension, could now substantially feel the blessings brought by the Dream Realm.

"It's still far from good enough!"

Lu Yunhe estimated that the expanded Dream Realm was still far from meeting his requirements.

"No rush, let's wait for reinforcements from the Origin Continent!"

Lu Yunhe wasn't in a hurry, since no one was competing with him for this Fangyuan World at the moment.

If he's unlucky and runs into a competitor, or gets targeted by someone like the Primordial Ancestor of Hunyuan, he can still call on his parents.

Even so, Lu Yunhe still planned to speed up the process to avoid any unexpected events.

……

The Abyss - Nightmare Layer!

Rumble!

Waves of demon armies clashed and killed each other, from the lowest lesser demons to the highest demons and demon lords, all were deployed to the battlefield.

The battle was fierce, with the battle lines expanding from small to large, even spanning half of the Nightmare Layer.

A massive number of demons were thrown into the battlefield, where they fought each other to the death, completely unaware of what they were killing, or even who their enemies were.

All they knew was that they had to wipe out all the demons in front of them who did not belong to their side.

Such a brutal battle, in terms of intensity, would probably have to be an invasion of the main world by the Abyss, with most of the demons in the Nightmare Layer being involved.

From top to bottom, all the demons were relentlessly slaughtering, their blood staining the entire earth red, and even the already gloomy sky was stained with a terrifying nightmare.

The culprit behind all of this was a lord named Mo Tian.

Though called a lord, he should more accurately be considered a child of the abyss...

Demon lords correspond to the legendary and mythical realms of professionals, while those who stand opposite demigods are also referred to by demons as children of the abyss, princes of the abyss, or demon princes...

Above that, of course, are the Abyss Demon Kings and Demon Lords, who are comparable to true gods.

Each layer of the abyss can only accommodate one demon king. All the princes are mortal enemies, and it can even be said that they are fighting for their own destiny.

However, it doesn't mean that killing other Abyss Princes will grant you the approval of the Abyss's will and allow you to obtain the throne of the Demon King.

Otherwise, those Abyss Princes who were the first to appear in the Abyss World would have directly become Abyss Demons, which is impossible.

If it were that simple, there wouldn't only be a few hundred Abyss Demons in the Abyss right now, some of whom are even fallen professionals from the main world.

To become an Abyss Demon God and control the first layer of the Abyss world, the most crucial thing is to gain the approval of the Abyss Will or to make sufficiently great contributions.

Therefore, although the many Abyss Princes are in opposition, since they all have the potential to rise up and control the Abyss world, they also adhere to the rules and do not easily overstep their boundaries.

Although the Abyss is known for its slaughter, the stronger the creatures become, the more orderly they become.

The previous Nightmare Layer was the same, with a total of thirteen Abyss Princes, each occupying their own territory and not interfering with each other.

The vast Nightmare Layer has only thirteen Abyss Princes, each comparable to a demigod; the number is rather small.

After all, the natural order maintains its own balance, and the Abyss Demons have a clear advantage among the lower-level extraordinary beings.

However, at the higher levels, the situation reverses; Abyss Princes, Abyss Demons, and even the Will of the Abyss can no longer be conceived at will.

In other words, it's time to rely on one's own abilities.

In the early to mid-stages, the abyssal demons, favored by the will of the abyss, are born as extraordinary beings and can easily advance through levels by killing indiscriminately.

Professionals, on the other hand, have to cultivate themselves diligently, strengthening themselves while also gaining faith in heaven and earth; every step is difficult.

Those professionals born in this way who can reach the legendary realm or even the demigod realm can be considered the chosen ones of heaven.

For extraordinary individuals, quantity is important, but quality is equally important.

Therefore, while becoming a true god is equally difficult, at least the quality of demigods is also very high.

Not to mention inheritance or anything like that. Although the demons also have stable forces, it is completely impossible for them to train their subordinates as diligently as the professionals on the other side.

The natural suppression between high-ranking demons and low-ranking demons makes it impossible for their relationship to be as close as that between professionals.

Not to mention the still chaotic abyss environment; in this abyss world without a master, the number of abyss princes is indeed not large.

Previously, although there was some competition among the thirteen Abyss Princes of the Nightmare Layer, they generally lived in peace.

However, since the rise of the Demon Lord, the situation has completely changed, and the entire Nightmare Realm has been plunged into war and slaughter.

At first, it was limited to low-level clashes, but as the Demon Lord subdued more and more demons, he showed no intention of stopping it.

The entire Demon Realm is like a never-ending war machine, frantically launching wars outwards.

Especially after subduing some demon lords, they soon clashed with the forces of the Abyss Prince.

Such things are common in the Abyss, and the high and mighty Abyss Prince wouldn't care about them at all.

However, as the war continued, large swathes of territory were annexed, and one demon lord after another either died or surrendered, which made the Abyss Prince restless.

As a result, even when the Abyss Prince personally intervened, he still failed to solve any problems and was even injured by the Demon Lord.

Up to this point, things are actually alright. The birth of a new Abyss Prince naturally leads to expansion, and since you are not as skilled as him, you can only accept your fate.

However, the ruthless Demon Lord did not focus his target on just one Abyss Prince, but instead provoked three or four Abyss Princes in succession.

However, the Abyss Princes' siege still failed to defeat the Demon Lord, and the situation changed instantly.

Previously, the entire Nightmare Realm was in a fragile balance, but now it has been suddenly broken. Naturally, the other Abyss Princes could not hold back and all chose to get involved.

The reason they didn't act before wasn't because they loved peace, but because of the overall atmosphere. Now that it's been disrupted, their demonic nature has naturally been revealed.

That wasn't the most crucial point. When the chaotic battle broke out, other abyssal worlds also wanted to get involved, pushing the already chaotic situation to the brink of collapse. The entire Nightmare Realm was plunged into slaughter and chaos.

Chapter 880 Demons Block the Way

"These are the Skyscraper's Hell Vanguard! They do look pretty good."

Above the Nightmare Realm, six demons of different forms coldly gazed down at the battlefield.

Below, a group of demons of varying strengths are engaged in close combat.

Although they look very similar in general, some details can still distinguish them. There are four different forces fighting each other.

One of them was clearly severely attacked by the combined forces of the other three.

Even so, this force actually gained the upper hand overall, advancing heavily despite being outnumbered three to one.

The demon soldiers of this force all had identical faces, as if they were carved from the same mold, and even their hand movements were very similar.

Moreover, each of them was like a cold fighting machine, showing no soul fluctuations in the face of various injuries, as if they were corpses.

That's fine, since once demons get carried away, influenced by their bloodline genes, they're not particularly afraid of death.

Especially under the command of higher demons, they are even willing to go to their deaths.

The key point is that, despite being like a dead machine, these demon soldiers displayed unparalleled teamwork.

The three groups cooperate with each other, and then complement each other on the higher-level battlefield.

Despite looking like a dead person, it displayed an extremely strong sense of initiative.

It can even turn a local disadvantage into a greater advantage on the battlefield.

During the battle, breakthroughs often occur.

Although they were scattered across the entire battlefield, all the demon soldiers acted as one.

Despite being outnumbered three to one, they were able to gain the upper hand in this bizarre situation.

"Hmm, even stronger than my elite troops. It seems that Demon Heaven has some skill in training soldiers." A one-horned demon said with interest.

As a prince of the abyss, having a group of elite demon soldiers under his command would make conquering the myriad realms much easier.

"It's said to be related to something called Hell in Mo Tian's possession? I wonder if it's due to his talent or something he found elsewhere." A pure abyss succubus licked her lips.

Especially when "Motian" was mentioned, a strange liquid appeared all over his body.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding demons unconsciously took two steps back.

"To be able to single-handedly instigate such a great war, could he be planning to conquer the entire Nightmare Realm as a means of advancement?" a demon with a human body and a dragon tail asked curiously.

Although occupying one level of the Abyss World does not directly make one an Abyss Demon God.

However, if we can conquer it, it will definitely be considered a step forward for the Abyss Prince.

Putting everything else aside, having a layer of the Abyss World as a foundation makes it much easier to accomplish anything significant, and it also makes it much harder for other Abyss Princes to pose a threat.

However, the previous Abyss Prince did not have the ability to subdue others, so the stalemate could only continue.

Now, someone has deliberately disrupted this balance, and some abyss princes also want to try their best to go further.
