Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 1078

There were already many ancestors who opposed war, but even the Giant God Emperor got involved. With the Nine Emperors of Hunyuan gathered and more than a hundred ancestors joining forces, they had an absolute advantage, which is why they were willing to participate in the war.

Now that even the Titan Emperor is dead, many of the progenitors have finally lost patience and want to retreat, not wanting to become the next Titan Emperor.

"not good!"

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor also sensed the internal opposition among the progenitors. The losses this time were far too heavy. The death of a few progenitors would have been acceptable, but the fact that even the Giant God Emperor had died was the real problem.

The damage this inflicted on the faction will likely take many epochs to heal.

Not only the many progenitors, but even other emperors wanted to retreat first.

This retreat has already exceeded one-third of the camp. If it is not the discontented race, then it is not just a defeat in this battle, but the entire innate chaotic life camp will fall apart.

In comparison, retreating now is more acceptable.

"The emergence of the new Lord Source caused problems in our response this time. With this experience, we will be fully confident next time."

"Then let's retreat first."

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor tried its best to make amends, but it certainly couldn't admit defeat. It had to find an excuse, otherwise it might not even be able to gather the entire army of the Primordial Chaos Ancestor next time.

Hearing the words of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, many of the progenitors breathed a sigh of relief. In this situation, they really didn't want to fight anymore.

After reaching an agreement, the many ancestors began to act in an orderly manner. As we all know, retreating is often more difficult than attacking.

The lords' attacks are too powerful; we must prevent any lone survivors from emerging.

"Hmm? The ancestors have stopped!"

Such a significant transformation in the ancestors naturally did not escape the notice of the lord.

"Want to leave!"

Lu Yunhe raised an eyebrow and immediately chased after the Primordial Ancestor. Of all the Primordial Ancestors, this one was the one he was most interested in.

"Yuan, get out of here!"

On the other side, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor also noticed Lu Yunhe's movements. With a flick of its tail, it blocked Lu Yunhe's path, transforming into an endless Great Wall that blocked all the lords.

Chapter 946 Retreat

“Yuan, I never imagined that you would actually become an obstacle for us naturally born chaotic beings, and become the new lord.”

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor stood in front of the many lords, protecting the other progenitors.

Although they couldn't cooperate, as the highest leader of the naturally formed chaotic life camp, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor did not complain about those ancestors who were shouting for retreat. In fact, he had to try his best to win them over.

Looking at the weakened Lord Source before him, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor felt a pang of regret. Although the Giant God Emperor was dead, as long as the remaining Primordial Spirits remained, they could still kill the Source before them.

Unfortunately, many of the progenitors were terrified by the death of the Giant Emperor, and if a real battle were to break out, they would probably turn around and run away immediately.

At that time, the ancestors like the Infinite Serpent Ancestor will be in an awkward position, because desertion and timely retreat are two completely different concepts.

"Pity!"

Lu Yunhe looked at the departing Primordial Ancestor and thought to himself, "What a pity!"

He was genuinely curious about these beings who possessed immortality, even if they weren't like the lords who were able to leave behind their complete legacy.

Even just exchanging blows with him can teach him a lot.

The unification of the three thousand Great Daos is sufficient to simulate everything in the world, including the Origin World and even the Primordial Chaos Ancestor.

Those immortal beings, having reached the pinnacle in a certain aspect, are very suitable as guides.

As for ordinary Primordial Ancestors, although they possess the highest level of power, they lack fundamental knowledge. It would be too difficult for them to comprehend it simply through combat.

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor also noticed this, so he took the initiative to block Lu Yunhe, and then used the power of absolute etherealization to defend himself while concealing his own power, making it difficult for others to see clearly.

As an immortal being and one of the top beings in the endless primordial space, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor's control over power and abilities is also unparalleled.

Under such relatively secrecy, it would be difficult for Lu Yunhe to gain anything from fighting him.

"Serpent Ancestor, decide quickly whether to fight or retreat. If you decide to continue the battle, our lord will be happy to oblige."

Yuan looked at the many ancestors with a fighting spirit, and his overwhelming aura pressed down on them.

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor twitched its body, completely ignoring the oppressive force. It simply looked at the troublesome lords and realized that their original plan to destroy the cultivators' territory had completely failed.

It can be said that almost the entire innate chaotic life force was mobilized, but still failed to achieve its goal, and even suffered heavy losses.

It is foreseeable that in the future, the naturally formed chaotic life force will no longer be able to maintain absolute dominance over the cultivator force.

The situation has shifted from absolute suppression to a strategic stalemate.

Throughout the endless years, they will be each other's greatest rivals until the final victor is determined.

The cultivator faction needs to maintain the continuous and perpetual existence of the Source World, while the naturally born Chaotic Origin beings need to directly devour the Source World's origin. The conflict between the two sides is difficult to resolve, and one side must suffer a complete defeat.

"It's such a pity. I never thought that you would actually be able to give birth to a new lord before the war of extermination." The Infinite Serpent Ancestor looked at the lords with resentment.

Many of the ancestors of Hunyuan were also very unwilling to accept it. They were really just one step away, but they still failed.

“This was indeed a close call.” Yuan nodded in acknowledgment. “If Yuan hadn’t broken through in time, we might have lost all our territories.”

In previous wars, facing attacks from numerous progenitors, the seven lords suffered repeated defeats, only able to delay the fall of their territories as much as possible, but unable to change the course of the war.

However, they finally witnessed the birth of the eighth lord, which completely reversed the situation.

Although they had not yet achieved complete victory, it was enough to make the seven lords overjoyed. The future was no longer uncertain, and they could see the possibility of victory.

“Yes, you win this time.” The Infinite Serpent Ancestor nodded in agreement, then added, “But that doesn’t mean we lost.”

"Let's settle this once and for all!"

This time, they were caught off guard by the birth of a new lord. When they are ready again, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor will make a comeback.

“Yuan, let’s save our duel for next time.” The Infinite Serpent Ancestor looked at Lu Yunhe, the lord who had brought him the most devastating defeat.

The entire innate chaotic life force mobilized, but not only did they fail to achieve their intended goal, they also lost an emperor.

Although the overall strength of the camp was not greatly diminished, it was indeed a defeat.

However, since they lost the battle but still have the advantage in overall strength, it cannot be considered a complete defeat.

"next time?"

Lu Yunhe raised an eyebrow: "Serpent Ancestor, there's no need for next time, even this time is fine. I don't mind if it's just the two of us continuing the fight."

Being able to fight against such a top-tier being as the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, Lu Yunhe was itching to try his hand at it.

"hehe…"

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor chuckled inwardly, thinking, "How could I possibly do as the other party wishes?"

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor naturally had a deep understanding of the growth of cultivators.

It is understood that cultivators with exceptional talent are more likely to break through in battle, especially in the most intense and oppressive wars, where the possibility of a breakthrough is greater and it is easier to tap into their own potential.

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor would naturally not give Yuan this opportunity; every bit of time he could buy was precious.

"withdraw!"

With a command from the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, the Mother of Time and Space led many progenitors directly through time and space.

Because of the four immortal beings covering the rear, especially the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, the lords had no intention of giving chase.

While the cultivator lords were defending, the naturally formed Chaotic Origin Life Force was having a lot of trouble and was unable to break through the defense system for a long time.

However, when the Heavenly Primordial Chaos Life Faction decides to defend, it is enough to make the lord give up all thoughts.

Whether it's the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, the Primordial Ancestor, or even the Endless Ancestor, they are all top-tier beings in terms of defensive systems.

Especially the Primordial Ancestor, who bound all the ancestors of the endless primordial space together, could not break through the opponent's defense.

"The progenitors have ceased hostilities!"

Yuan watched the departing ancestors of Hunyuan and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Continuing the fight wouldn't be so bad, but the outcome could be unfavorable for them. If Yuan were to accidentally perish in the battle, it would be a disaster.

Fortunately, because of the death of the Giant Emperor, the naturally occurring chaotic beings no longer wanted to fight.

The outcome of withdrawing from the war was enough to satisfy the lords like Yuan.

"The ancestors are still stronger than us overall," Lord Moman said. "We used to be able to join forces to kill some ancestors, but after one war after another, even if we burned our main battle avatars, we could no longer kill the ancestors."

"That's why the ancestors adapted to our fighting methods and wanted to succeed in one fell swoop this time."

“That’s right. This time, Yuan did give the ancestors a big surprise, but next time, they will have ways to deal with it. Let alone killing the Nine Emperors, they will probably have a hard time even killing ordinary ancestors.” Lord Jin said unwillingly.

As the lord of destruction, he was not the most outstanding in destruction, which made him very upset.

"I see!"

Lu Yunhe nodded in understanding, and his mindset was not affected by the victory.

The lords are not as powerful as imagined. The reason they have a good record is that they are in a defensive position, a new lord has appeared, and they are immortal.

Without this immortality, the lords would have been wiped out long ago.

In reality, an ordinary lord can only fight against two or three ordinary Hunyuan Ancestors in a direct battle.

If you choose the defensive stance, the number of Primordial Chaos Ancestors you can deal with can double.

If they can cooperate perfectly, the combined strength of the progenitors they can deal with can double, or about ten times.

As for the Star Lord, although he is powerful, so far there has never been a one-on-one kill among the progenitors in the Endless Chaos Space.

Those primordial ancestors who died were mostly killed in the chaos of battle, or because they were momentarily unaware of the cultivators' methods.

Whether they are progenitors or lords, they are indeed within the same realm.

Now, although there is another lord, we can only be on the defensive. To break out is a completely different story.

Conversely, when the innate Hunyuan life is on the defensive, even one of the Nine Emperors of Hunyuan can entangle a lord.

"That method just now probably only works its best the first time it's used," Lu Yunhe pondered.

In other words, as long as the difference in the numbers he creates is large enough, he can still achieve extraordinary results in war.

"Not only that, although new lords have emerged among us, new progenitors will also be born among the naturally primordial beings due to the battle."

The stars are observing the future, and so far there has been no indication of the possibility of a ninth lord being born.
