Chapter 1459: Power to Swallow the Heavens
Chapter 1459: Power to Swallow the Heavens
Vast Star.
As a subordinate planet of the Cloud Star System, it was one of the few surviving worlds since the sun disappeared and the Dark Demons invaded.
The entire planet was mostly enveloped by boundless oceans, boasting extremely rich resources. Even as all living things withered on other planets, the cultivators of Vast Star could still barely maintain their usual cultivation needs by relying on spiritual herbs and immortal treasures preserved through generations.
Therefore, the reclusive ancient clans and prominent immortal sects did not suffer the devastating blows that befell other planets. Facing the Dark Demon invasion, they still had the strength to fight back, and the stalemate had lasted for over a month.
Through bloody battles to the death, geniuses gradually broke through their bottlenecks and rose to prominence. Among them, Peng Tianbei, the young master of the deep-sea ancient clan, possessed the highest aptitude. At a young age, he had already awakened his divine abilities. Leading the counterattack, he won battle after battle. After several skirmishes, he annihilated nearly a hundred Dark Demons, obtained numerous spiritual treasures and remnant bodies, and refined them to greatly increase his cultivation base.
Under his leadership, faint variables appeared one after another in the dark war, and the stalemate seemed on the verge of being broken.
At this very moment.
A bloody battle was taking place in the Northern Sea of Vast Star. Peng Tianbei was leading over a dozen elite clansmen against the Dark Demons. Although his clansmen were slightly inferior in cultivation—some even brutally killed by the self-destruction of the Dark Demons—this young man was incredibly fierce. He extraordinarily dodged fatal self-destructions several times and continuously unleashed his supreme divine abilities to counterattack.
Seeing the battle reach a fever pitch, the slaughter between the two sides shook the heavens and earth, stirring up thousand-foot waves on the sea.
However, a round-faced man quietly appeared on the sea. With his hands clasped behind his back, he calmly watched the distant battle. No matter how terrifying the shockwaves echoing around him were, they could not affect his posture in the slightest.
His indifferent expression remained completely unchanged.
That terrifying, bloody battle, in his bright, starlit eyes, seemed like mere child's play, not worth mentioning.
That was until Peng Tianbei was forced into a corner. Seeing all his clansmen perish, he unleashed his bloodline divine ability, manifesting a ten-thousand-foot dharma avatar behind him!
"Wrath of the Azure Sea!"
With a roar, the massive phantom transformed into a sky-filling ocean current, forcefully submerging several dark silhouettes. The terrifying power of the divine ability devoured the life force of those shadows, finally wiping out over a dozen Dark Demons in one fell swoop!
Peng Tianbei was also severely exhausted. He landed on the shore and slumped to the ground, but the battle intent in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest. His overall aura had ascended to a higher level. It seemed that after experiencing the life-and-death crisis just now, his comprehension of his divine abilities had deepened.
Having witnessed the entire process, the round-faced man finally gave a slight nod.
"Mhm."
"This little fellow actually has some talent. He is indeed barely worth cultivating."
As soon as his voice fell, the round-faced man appeared right before him, looking down with a smile and speaking out.
"Kid, your divine ability has achieved minor completion, but you cannot ascend to a higher level yet, making it difficult to unleash its peak might. Do you want me to give you some guidance?"
As the laughter echoed, Peng Tianbei suddenly leaped up in shock.
Only then did he realize that an unknown stranger had appeared before him at some point, even shamelessly offering to teach him about divine abilities.
Even though the newcomer seemed to have an extraordinary cultivation base, Peng Tianbei was not afraid in the slightest!
After successively defeating numerous Dark Demons, his reputation and confidence had climbed to an unprecedented height. The pride of the ancient clan's number one genius absolutely would not allow anyone to easily trample upon it.
He deeply sized up the newcomer for a few glances and proudly cupped his fists in response!
"Your Excellency!"
"Seeing as you shouldn't be an accomplice of the Dark Demons, there is naturally no need for you and me to be enemies."
"However, I, Peng Tianbei, am no ordinary person. When it comes to mastery over divine abilities, looking across the entire Vast Star, no one in the younger generation can match me. For Your Excellency to open your mouth and offer to guide me, could it be you are making a joke?"
The more he spoke, the more confident he became. Peng Tianbei stood proudly and recounted his glorious battle achievements!
"To tell you the truth."
"Ever since the Dark Demons invaded, this young master has led the masses to resist the enemy, slaying over a hundred Dark Demons in battles big and small. Every cultivator on Vast Star treats me with the utmost respect!"
"Your Excellency does not seem to be a cultivator of my Vast Star, so it is understandable that you do not know my reputation. But this arrogant talk of offering guidance is a bit too presumptuous. I wonder how many Dark Demons Your Excellency has slain?"
"You might as well clarify your spoils of war to dare speak such arrogant words. I would like to hear exactly how much weight Your Excellency carries!"
The young man's face was full of arrogance, his eyes shining with absolute confidence.
Looking at his demeanor, the round-faced man smiled faintly. He didn't immediately reply or argue like a bickering child.
With just a casual wave of his hand, the coastline beneath their feet was instantly replaced by a sky full of stars!
Instantly.
Peng Tianbei was severely shocked, his eyes trembling as he looked at the surrounding starry sky.
To casually tear through space and step into the extraterrestrial void—such a method was unheard of. The newcomer was indeed extraordinary!
But he was no ordinary person either!
Even if he couldn't do this exact thing, tearing through the void to step into the starry sea wasn't a difficult task!
After the brief shock, although Peng Tianbei's arrogance was slightly restrained, his tone remained extremely confident as he continued to probe with his words.
"Your Excellency indeed has some tricks."
"However, if you think you can use this strange art to act as a senior and guide me, you are underestimating me too much. I, Peng Tianbei, do not have an unearned reputation."
"Forgive my blunt words, but in this time of crisis, combat power is the foundation of survival. Even if you possess spatial arts, and even if I, Peng Tianbei, am far inferior in that regard, I still do not care for your guidance!"
Hearing this, the smile in the round-faced man's eyes deepened, as if he were looking at a naughty brat.
As his eyes scanned the surroundings, his gaze gradually settled on a dim planet.
He spoke softly, turning his head to ask a question.
"Since you are so confident, do you have the certainty to annihilate all the Dark Demons occupying that planet?"
Peng Tianbei was stunned by the words.
Following the man's gaze, he spread his divine sense to carefully investigate. He saw that the unfamiliar planet was not much smaller than Vast Star, yet it was already utterly dim and devoid of the aura of any living beings. Who knew how many Dark Demons were entrenched there at this moment!
After a single glance, a difficult expression appeared in Peng Tianbei's eyes. Looking somewhat awkward, he flushed red and turned back to retort!
"Your Excellency must be joking!"
"This planet has been occupied by the Dark Demons. There are at least tens of thousands of them taking residence there. With such a terrifying number of entities, how could anyone slaughter them all single-handedly!"
Peng Tianbei was indeed confident, and he knew he was extraordinary, but he was not blindly arrogant. He still had a clear understanding of his own strength.
Normally, against a dozen Dark Demons, he still had some chance of winning. If he were to face tens of thousands of Dark Demons, even a hundred of him would find it hard to carve out a path of survival!
For the newcomer to open his mouth and ask such a crazy question about slaughtering an entire planet's worth of Dark Demons—wasn't this pure nonsense!
How could there possibly be such a terrifying cultivator in this world!
Peng Tianbei naturally thought the other party was mocking him. His face full of embarrassment, he glared back angrily!
Who knew that the other party would remain completely unmoved.
He saw the round-faced man extend a hand, waving it lightly toward that unfamiliar planet, and muttering a single, indifferent word.
"Devour."
The next moment.
A terrifying power, the likes of which he had never seen or heard of, unexpectedly swept across the entire planet!
Before he could even react.
The unfamiliar planet had actually recovered a bit of clarity, looking vastly different from how it appeared from afar just moments ago!
Could it be...
An astonishing conjecture surfaced in his mind, causing Peng Tianbei's eyes to tremble as he watched.
He hurriedly spread out his divine sense to perceive it, only to find that he could no longer sense the presence of a single Dark Demon!
Shock!
He was instantly dumbfounded with shock on the spot!
With merely a wave of his hand, he had actually annihilated the Dark Demons of an entire planet. That terrifying power was immeasurable, and its might was so dreadful that it defied imagination!
What an incredible feat!
To easily devour the Black Demons of an entire planet, this was simply the power to swallow the heavens!
Peng Tianbei was so shocked that his hands began to tremble. For a moment, he did not even dare to speak.
This astonishing, unprecedented scene had completely overturned his understanding of the world. The extraordinary confidence he had recently built up vanished into thin air in an instant!
That is, until a faint chuckle rang in his ears.
"How is it?"
Peng Tianbei felt as if he had been struck by lightning, abruptly snapping back to his senses!
Looking back at the round-faced man, he only felt that the other party was truly unfathomable. Even his ordinary facial features now seemed ten million times more pleasing to the eye, appearing exceptionally handsome.
An expert!
This was truly a peerless expert unheard of throughout the ages!
At this moment, indescribable excitement surged in Peng Tianbei's heart, and his eyes were filled with the light of reverence. Without the slightest hesitation, he obediently bowed and cupped his fists!
"Senior!"
"Senior's methods have truly opened this junior's eyes. Only now do I realize how shallow my experience is. Recalling my arrogant words just now, I am truly filled with extreme shame. I beg for Senior's forgiveness!"
Waiting quietly in shame and apprehension, Peng Tianbei did not even dare to raise his head, acting with the utmost caution.
After all.
Standing quietly before him was a supreme overlord capable of single-handedly devouring countless Black Demons. In front of such an existence, he could not even be considered an ant!
If he provoked even the slightest dissatisfaction from the other party, a mere raise of a hand could reduce him to ashes!
Looking at his sudden obedient and sensible demeanor, the round-faced man smiled faintly without any surprise. His expression remained as calm as when he had first appeared, and his tone was just as peaceful.
"It matters not."
"The ignorant are innocent. Do I now have the qualifications to guide you?"
Hearing this, Peng Tianbei raised his eyes in shock, a myriad of pleasant surprises bursting from the depths of his gaze!
He had ignorantly offended the Senior first, yet the Senior did not mind at all and even intended to guide and support him. Such demeanor truly lived up to his heaven-shaking and earth-shattering cultivation. He was indeed a true peerless expert!
Hearing that he could be fortunate enough to receive guidance from this Senior, Peng Tianbei felt even more overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, instantly kowtowing in respect!
"Greetings, Master!"
"To have the fortune of meeting Master today is truly this disciple's greatest honor in life!"
Who would have thought that as soon as his voice fell, the round-faced man waved his hand faintly.
"Spare me the title of Master."
"If you want to take me as your master, your aptitude is not qualified enough. Merely guiding you for a few days will have to do."
Hearing these words, Peng Tianbei's eyes trembled, and his whole body suddenly stiffened.
Just as expected.
His own innate talent was not enough to become this Senior's disciple!
Although he could not help but feel a bit of regret in his heart, the moment he thought about being able to receive guidance from this figure, he already felt ten thousand times honored. Not daring to have any extravagant hopes, he immediately kowtowed repeatedly in gratitude!
"Thank you, Senior! Thank you, Senior!"
Looking at the sensible appearance of the young man, Frog Benwei smiled faintly, secretly letting out a small burp. His large eyes gazed toward the endless universe, brimming with the light of anticipation.
