Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 903

If we can bring it back, then the loss of these demons will not be in vain.

The intense aura of hellfire was enough to make even legendary demons take notice.

A demonic finger passed through the summoning gate and gently touched the flaming demon on the altar. The summoning gate flickered, as if trying to swallow it.

"hehe!"

Lu Yunhe chuckled upon seeing this. If the demon lord were to directly confront him, it would be rather troublesome, given the sheer magnitude of its destructive power.

However, if someone succumbs to the lure of the Balrog and willingly enters the altar, then the situation is entirely different.

"You delivered this to me yourself!" Lu Yunhe said casually.

In an instant, hellfire erupted from the mouths and eye sockets of the skulls throughout the altar, accompanied by the screams of countless demons.

At the same time, the summoning gate was instantly frozen in place.

The fire demon, resembling a dried-up corpse, suddenly stretched out its hands and grabbed the demon lord's fingers. The raging flames burning in hell also erupted, igniting the fingers and the summoning gate together.

The four figures, A, B, C, and D, positioned at the four corners of the altar, also faced the altar and brandished their weapons.

The blazing hellfire burned the demon's soul, enchanting the four's weapons, truly imbuing them with a layer of demonic energy.

Countless demon souls wailed, then transformed into the power of the demonic artifact under the burning of hellfire.

The power of the 100,000 demons slaughtered earlier also erupted, empowering the four individuals (A, B, C, and D) and the fire demon in the center of the altar, pushing their auras to a peak.

"cut!"

Lu Yunhe waved his hand, and the four men, A, B, C, and D, instantly jumped up and chopped at the demon's finger.

Click!

A sound like a saw rang out, and a finger as thick as a giant tree was severed, landing steadily in the very center of the altar.

……

Chapter 810 The Scholar from Another World

The demon lord's finger landed on the altar, and the noble and powerful aura it exuded made the entire valley feel oppressive.

Moreover, the severed finger was still twitching consciously, even attempting to launch an attack and completely destroy the altar.

"town!"

Lu Yunhe waved his hand, and the power hidden within the altar erupted once more. Countless illusory arms of demons appeared from the void, tightly gripping his fingers and fixing him to the center of the altar.

The fire demon, which was already on the altar, clung tightly to its fingers, standing firm like a pillar.

"Summoner, you're courting death!"

At this moment, the demon lord was well aware that he had once again fallen into the trap of the cunning humans.

Compared to humans, these demons are far too naive. They always think they've made the right choice, only to fall into human traps in the end.

Even if they become legends, they still cannot escape being played by humans.

"I've remembered your scent, human. I will find you, and then..."

boom!

However, the raging flames instantly burned away the summoning gate, along with the demon lord's voice.

"Find me!"

Lu Yunhe's expression was strange. He waved his hand at the spot where the summoning gate had disappeared and said, "Then I'll be waiting for you. Don't run away then!"

“This time the harvest is good!”

Looking at the demonic finger suppressed in the center of the altar, Lu Yunhe nodded in satisfaction.

This finger alone is more valuable than the demons we slaughtered before. It comes from the body of a legendary demon and contains legendary power.

Even if it comes from the devil, if it were released, the entire upper city would probably go mad.

"I originally only wanted to use the essence of these 100,000 demons, but I didn't expect that demons would travel thousands of miles to deliver it to my door. They're practically the top fan!"

Lu Yunhe sighed, "Not only did he send over his subordinate, but he even cut off his own finger and sent it over. If we ever meet again, I'll definitely have to thank him properly."

"It's so magical..."

However, looking at the Flame Demon's body, which resembled a pot of boiling oil, this was the only time he could use it.

If you want to use the Flame Demon to fish again, your body might not be able to hold on any longer.

Lu Yunhe drained the body and soul of the Flame Demon to cultivate this pure and incomparably powerful hellfire, which would even tempt a legendary demon.

If we continue like this, and attract an even more powerful demon, then we'll be in big trouble.

"enough!"

Lu Yunhe looked at the offerings on the altar: a noble fire demon, the essence of 100,000 demons, and the finger of a legendary demon.

Finally, there were four more humans, A, B, C, and D.

"Let's help A change jobs first!"

Lu Yunhe's heart stirred. The Flame Demon, which was in the center of the altar and looked like a dried corpse, also made a creaking sound as it shrank into a ball.

Immediately, Boss Jia stepped forward and, without even blinking, disemboweled himself.

Blood gushed out instantly, staining the altar beneath their feet. However, given the vitality of a professional, even if they were disemboweled, they could still survive for a while.

Then, Boss Jia picked up the sphere that the Flame Demon had transformed into and stuffed it into his abdomen.

At the same time, demonic hands emerged from the altar, skillfully picking up the blood that Boss Jia had spilled on it.

The blood in the demon's hands turned into red threads, which were then sewn up on Boss Jia's abdomen.

Gulu gulu!

The once robust and strong-looking Boss Jia now had a belly that bulged out as if he were ten months pregnant, and you could even hear the heavy beating of his heart.

A surge of powerful energy emanated from Boss Jia's body, instantly propelling him past the Bronze level.

“A, you’ve struck gold. This is a Flame Demon that I’ve carefully nurtured.”

Lu Yunhe watched as Jia Laoda's body underwent changes, and a black stone armor gradually emerged from his body, enveloping his entire body.

Screams of agony emanated from the armor, along with the sound of bones shattering, creating a chilling and eerie atmosphere in the surrounding environment.

"The potential of you four is really too weak," Lu Yunhe said regretfully.

When we trained them before, we had already tapped into most of their potential.

They were all just ordinary people; they didn't just happen to encounter geniuses. Becoming a Black Iron-level professional was already the limit of their potential.

If they hadn't met him, the three of them, Yi, Bing, and Ding, would have had some difficulty even becoming professionals.

Fortunately, for Lu Yunhe, potential is not a big problem; there are ways to help them make up for it.

"Thank you for the reward, Demon Lord!"

Lu Yunhe manipulated the hellfire, using the essence of the demon as fuel, and began to melt the legendary demon's finger.

Strands of blood, exuding an incomparably noble aura, were refined from the demon's fingers and then directly merged into the bodies of the four individuals, A, B, C, and D.

With the infusion of legendary blood, Boss Jia, who had been screaming in agony, suddenly quieted down, and his chaotic aura subsided.

The purified source of the Flame Demon is something that a mere Black Iron-level professional cannot withstand. However, with the support of 100,000 units of Demonic Source and the addition of Legendary Blood, the situation is much better.

Like a tripod, it continuously expands the potential and strength of Boss Jia.

As for Boss Jia himself, he was utterly insignificant in the face of these three forces; he would be no better than a dog.

The situation was similar for the other three, whose original potential was greatly replenished.

At this moment, not to be outdone, the White Bone Sword also rushed into the altar. After absorbing the blood of the legendary demon, a fourth head split off from the tip of the sword.

Although it was a bone sword, the essence of the legendary demon was also a great tonic for it. After absorbing it, it finally gained some of the foundation of a divine weapon.

"Sacrifice!"

Seeing the four people, A, B, C, and D, gradually calm down, as well as the White Bone Sword, Lu Yunhe finally began to control the altar, offering the essence of the 100,000 demons he had absorbed beforehand.

In an instant, the entire Devil Valley began to shake violently.

The slain demons, almost transformed into vengeful ghosts, swam around the altar, emitting mournful cries.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from the distant abyss rift, directly enveloping the altar.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The wronged souls that had just been screaming in agony now showed fear, after all, they had no power to resist in life, let alone in death.

The altar emitted an unparalleled attraction, swallowing the newly emerged vengeful spirits back into it, and in doing so, also absorbing the power bestowed by the abyss.

In an instant, the light on the altar split into four, transforming into four primordial forces that surged in mid-air.

Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind!

The four forces projected from the abyss rift, catalyzed by the demonic origin, transformed into the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind.

Subsequently, the four people on the altar each received an attribute: Jia (fire), Yi (water), Bing (wind), and Ding (earth).

In an instant, the aura emanating from the four of them leaped another realm, reaching the Silver level.

Abyss-attribute classes are quite easy to level up. As long as you kill enough enemies or gain the favor of the Abyss's will, the leveling speed is very fast.

Especially with Lu Yunhe's help, many key issues were directly resolved.

The advancement from Silver level was quite fast; it didn't take long for the four of them to absorb the power of the demon's essence.

"Owner!"

As the light faded, four people dressed in different colored armor knelt before Lu Yunhe.

At this moment, the four people's inner will had been almost completely obliterated, and they could basically be regarded as humanoid intelligent puppets, with only a little bit of consciousness remaining, telling the story of their original identities.

As an ordinary person and a Black Iron-level professional, leaping to the Silver level in one step, one will naturally lose something.

Even if they still retain their own will, they would probably be satisfied after witnessing their current strength.

"Okay, get up!" Lu Yunhe nodded and casually crafted four puppets, so he wouldn't have to do everything himself anymore.
