Chapter 2884: Fierce Battle with the Star-Devouring Beast

Chapter 2884: Chapter 2884: Fierce Battle with the Star-Devouring Beast

Finally, accompanied by the Great Might Divine Emperor, Fang Bai headed to the starry sky ten thousand miles away for his ascension.

The other deities of the Emperor’s Palace stayed in place with the Spirit Sea Divine Emperor.

Fang Bai and the Great Might Divine Emperor arrived at a dense stone array amidst meteors, preparing to utilize the rich divine power here to breakthrough to the Divine Emperor Realm.

"Fang Bai, give it your all! If you can break through to the Divine Emperor Realm this time, our Emperor’s Palace will have two Divine Emperor Realm experts, truly establishing our foothold in this Divine Realm."

Before Fang Bai entered seclusion, the Great Might Divine Emperor encouraged him.

Now, Rongrong, as Fang Bai’s Dao companion, naturally became a member of the Emperor’s Palace, and with the Great Might Divine Emperor as her grandfather, he saw that although the number of strong practitioners in the Palace was not many, it had a vast number of experts with Innate Spiritual Roots, and the future looked bright, thus he joined the Emperor’s Palace and even attained the position of an Elder.

With the addition of Rongrong and the Great Might Divine Emperor, the power of the Emperor’s Palace rapidly grew. If Fang Bai could ascend to the Divine Emperor Realm, the Palace would have two genuine Divine Emperor Realm experts and one expert equivalent to a Divine Emperor Realm, not daring to claim to be the top sect in the Divine Realm, but it could definitely rank among the top tier sects.

To be safe, before Fang Bai entered seclusion for cultivation, he set up another layer of defensive mechanisms in the dense stone array and began entering the cultivation state, under the protection of the Great Might Divine Emperor, preparing to charge towards the Divine Emperor Realm.

At the same time Fang Bai entered his cultivation state, the black hole at the center of the Purple Crystal Sea suddenly fluctuated. The experienced Spirit Sea Divine Emperor and over a dozen other Divine Emperors immediately became highly alert, simultaneously reminding the other Divine Emperor Realm experts to each wield their divine artifacts and enter combat readiness.

The several ten thousand first-arriving Divine Emperor Realm experts, knowing the ferocity of the Star-Devouring Beast, were intensely tense, as if facing a formidable enemy.

However, the several ten thousand Divine Emperor Realm experts who came later, having never seen a Star-Devouring Beast, felt more excitement and thrill than tension and fear, as they released their divine senses, probing the black hole ahead, eagerly anticipating the Star-Devouring Beast’s appearance.

"Everyone, the Star-Devouring Beast is exceptionally fierce, and once they appear, there won’t be just one or two. We must not be careless and be prepared for defensive and offensive measures!"

The Spirit Sea Divine Emperor saw that the several ten thousand Divine Emperor Realm experts who arrived later were somewhat complacent, knowing they were fearless only because of ignorance, he couldn’t help but frown slightly and sternly reminded them.

As soon as his voice fell, he saw shadowy figures flicker in the direction of the black hole, followed by large Star-Devouring Beasts rapidly pouring out, pouncing in every direction.

Once those Star-Devouring Beasts appeared, nearly a hundred thousand experts standing on the surrounding asteroids instantly felt an overwhelming oppressive force, with several of them carrying a presence comparable to Emperor Realm experts, giving them a suffocating sensation.

"Everyone, attack with full strength, striving not to let a single Star-Devouring Beast escape!"

Spirit Sea Divine Emperor shouted, his figure rushing forth, actively launching an attack on a Star-Devouring Beast comparable to the Divine Emperor Realm.

Because he knew, only a Divine Emperor Realm expert could contend with a Star-Devouring Beast of the same caliber, and if the Divine Emperor Realm experts were to battle with Emperor Realm Star-Devouring Beasts, it would only result in unnecessary casualties.

The Spirit Sea Divine Emperor’s speed exceeded that of light and electricity, with two blasts of immense force from his fists, slamming into the body of a Star-Devouring Beast comparable to the Divine Emperor Realm, from left and right.

The massive body of the Star-Devouring Beast flipped in mid-air under the powerful blasts of his fists, tumbling thousands of feet away, letting out a thunderous muffled groan.

When that Star-Devouring Beast stabilized its form, some of the experts observing through their divine sense finally noticed a massive bloody hole on its body, with copious amounts of blood gurgling out, like a galaxy pouring.

Although the injuries on that Star-Devouring Beast seemed severe, it recovered quickly. Within a dozen breaths, the bloody hole was visibly healing, soon to be as good as new.

The Spirit Sea Divine Emperor had dealt with the Star-Devouring Beasts for many years, knowing where their weaknesses lay, and without waiting for the beast’s wounds to fully recover, he followed up with two more punches.

The positions of these two punches were exactly the same as before.

Instantly, the bloody hole on that Star-Devouring Beast, which had not yet healed, expanded once again, rivers of blood pouring out.

The Spirit Sea Divine Emperor knew that his attack should never slacken for a moment, or it would provide the Star-Devouring Beast an opportunity to recover, so his attacks continued relentlessly, each wave more fierce than the last.

Evidently, his attacks were exceedingly effective, and that Star-Devouring Beast, under his relentless assault, bore wounds all over as it retreated to the edge of the black hole. With just a few more punches, it would fall into the black hole.

The success of this attack was beyond the Spirit Sea Divine Emperor’s expectations, and he couldn’t help but show a look of delight.

However, at the very next moment, a mass of black gas surged out from the black hole, enveloping the Star-Devouring Beast. The black gas was immediately absorbed into the beast’s body, and when the Spirit Sea Divine Emperor looked again, the injuries on the beast had astonishingly been fully healed.

"This... how is this possible?"

The Spirit Sea Divine Emperor was greatly shocked, as it was the first time he had encountered such a situation in his years of battles with the Star-Devouring Beasts.

"What on earth is that black gas, to be able to instantly restore the Star-Devouring Beast’s injuries to normal."

The Spirit Sea Divine Emperor thought of the black gas from the black hole, seemingly sensing a force more mysterious than ordinary divine power emanating from it.

Once the injuries on the Star-Devouring Beast were healed, it finally had a chance to counterattack the Spirit Sea Divine Emperor. It lugged its seemingly clumsy but actually nimble body towards the emperor, a roar from its mouth causing the starry sky within a ten thousand-mile radius to tremble.

At the same moment as the Spirit Sea Divine Emperor launched his attack, the Star-Devouring Beast opened its huge mouth, spewing a thick, black viscous liquid. When the viscous liquid encountered the divine power unleashed by the emperor, the divine power peculiarly transformed into a wisp of black smoke, dissipating without a trace.

"Vile beast! Today, I am determined to kill you!"

The Spirit Sea Divine Emperor knew that the black viscous liquid had exceptionally strong corrosive properties, that the surrounding asteroids containing Purple Divine Crystals would vanish with just a drop, and even the divine power released by a Divine Emperor Realm expert like him would be dissolved by it.

After spraying a mass of black liquid, the Star-Devouring Beast then sharply inhaled, an extremely powerful suction force, akin to a giant invisible hand, pulling the Spirit Sea Divine Emperor’s body towards its large mouth.

Between the beast’s inhaling and exhaling, there lay an unparalleled killing move, such that any slight misstep could lead to demise.

Despite the Spirit Sea Divine Emperor possessing strength capable of exploding a star, he still needed to exert his full power to resist the suction force generated by the Star-Devouring Beast, preventing himself from being drawn in.

Thus, the Spirit Sea Divine Emperor was embroiled in a stalemate with the Star-Devouring Beast of the Divine Emperor Realm, unable to decide the victor in a short period.

The over ten other Emperor Realm experts each contended with a Star-Devouring Beast of equal strength, engaging in a deadlock.
