Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 983

However, the abilities of the Dream Path are indeed very suitable for crafting puppets to some extent, and it would be even more suitable if there were relatively complete corpses.

"That's right, it's Minghuan!"

The goddess of flowers stood at the dragon's feet, channeling her soul power into the puppet's body, controlling the demigod's corpse.

Because the main battleground between the two of them was a clash of minds and souls, their bodies were relatively well preserved.

After winning, the Flower Goddess devoured a portion of the divine beast's essence to replenish herself, and did not waste the demigod's corpse.

Through years of mending and refining, and through the tempering of her own essence, she transformed Minghuan's corpse into her puppet, which could even unleash the power of a demigod.

With the combined strength of two demigods, along with the entire capital's formation and the cooperation of the professionals, the Flower Goddess's confidence soared once again, and she felt confident that she could succeed again.

"Go, Netherworld Dragon!"

With a wave of her hand, the Flower Goddess sent the Netherworld Dragon roaring as it flew directly toward Lu Yunhe.

Upon closer inspection, one could clearly see some added metallic claws slamming down towards Lu Yunhe.

"The Mulberry King's Giant Wooden Hammer!"

Lu Yunhe's heart stirred, and he replaced the Spirit-Suppressing Blade in his hand with a giant wooden hammer, then smashed it fiercely at the dragon claw.

Bang!

The hammer and the dragon claw collided instantly. Although the dragon was reduced to a corpse, its physical strength had reached its peak after being transformed by the Flower Goddess for so long.

"Dreams are illusions, illusions are reality... When reality awakens, dreams are destroyed..." The Flower Goddess chanted prayers, and a dreamlike power gathered on her body.

As is well known, for professionals, the longer the preparation time, the greater the power of their attack.

If a demigod is willing to spend an eternity to gather power, he is fully capable of unleashing an attack no less powerful than that of a true god.

"Dream...Kill!"

The Flower Goddess remained expressionless as she unleashed a Dream Soul Attack towards Lu Yunhe, who was battling the Netherworld Dragon.

The Path of Dreams has always leaned towards the dimension of mind and soul, making it relatively weak against physical attacks.

After killing the demigod Minghuan, the Flower Goddess thought of using the corpse of this divine beast to make up for the lack of her own material dimension attack.

The combination of physical and spiritual attacks is enough for her to defeat any invading enemy.

A soul attack filled with the aura of destruction struck the enemy, tightly binding their mental strength.

At the same time, the Netherworld Dragon, fully charged with material attacks, frequently unleashed its power, putting immense pressure on the enemy.

Although the main attacks are concentrated on soul attacks, the Flower Goddess can still unleash attacks comparable to those of a demigod, only not as powerful as those spread across her mental energy, which can be considered a balance within the soul lineage.

The way of man is to take from those who have less and give to those who have more!

While multitasking is fundamental for practitioners, to maximize one aspect, one must reduce investment in another.

The Netherworld Dragon engaged the enemy in close combat, while the Flower Goddess unleashed her soul attacks to the fullest while wielding her massive scythe to slash at the enemy as well.

Meanwhile, the professionals within the capital city were not to be outdone, and according to their duties, they controlled the capital's formations to attack the enemy from all angles.

In an instant, Lu Yunhe was also attacked from all directions without any blind spots.

Melee combat, soul control, world domination, restraint... it's like the power of an entire nation is pressing down on us.

A true demigod would probably have been unable to withstand it long ago.

With the Flower Goddess's mastery of the soul, she could easily distract at least half of the other demigods' mental energy. Then she would also have to deal with the combined interference of the Underworld Dragon, the Flower Goddess, and many other professionals.

A normal demigod simply wouldn't have the energy to deal with such a multi-dimensional attack simultaneously.

A single soul attack is enough to keep people constantly on their toes.

“We will definitely win!”

The Flower Goddess's expression was resolute; as long as it wasn't a true god, she had a chance to win.

As for the other party being a true god, the Flower Goddess never even considered the possibility.

"kill!"

The Flower Goddess was multitasking, focusing primarily on soul attacks while simultaneously controlling the Netherworld Dragon beside her, engaging in close combat, and even diverting some of her attention to communicate with her subordinate professionals who were controlling the capital's grand formation.

For a spiritual practitioner, there is no progress without regression; life is born from death!

"Good awareness!"

Lu Yunhe nodded slightly. It was indeed admirable that a demigod could achieve such a level.

After all, not everyone is a destined demigod. Not everyone can, in their wild form, contend with a true god at the demigod level.

The goddess of flowers before us is an elite among elites even among demigods.

"It's just bad luck!"

Lu Yunhe's will is like a dazzling diamond, undiminished even after the world is destroyed.

Although the boundaries between matter and mind have not been fully explored, the illusory aspects are still influenced by reality, preventing the attainment of true infinity.

However, legendary strength is enough to support a sufficiently strong mental will.

My heart is as hard as iron, and cannot be broken!

Lu Yunhe's mind and will united as one, like a diamond, resisting the Flower Goddess's soul attack.

Then, the Immortal Slayer Sword slashed at the scythe, and the giant wooden hammer struck the Netherworld Dragon, while a Tide Banner fluttered behind it.

The originally formless and intangible space instantly rose and fell like tides, interspersed with dreamlike starlight, colliding with the chaotic attacks of the professionals.

The Flower Goddess risked everything, yet Lu Yunhe still managed to fend her off with ease.

Although it felt like dancing on a tightrope, she was completely confident, a confidence honed over many years.

"what!"

The Flower Goddess also showed a look of astonishment. She had already exerted all the power she could muster, but she still couldn't suppress the opponent.

That realm, which encompassed almost everything in the world, completely surpassed her imagination, leaving her with absolutely no flaws.

The enemy before them was like an impenetrable city wall, filling all those who attacked the city with despair.

What the Flower Goddess found even harder to accept was that this time, the enemy seemed to be only a legendary being, rather than the peak demigod she had imagined.

However, the enemy's performance left the Flower Goddess in disbelief. Was this something a legendary being could accomplish? One person fighting against an entire demigod kingdom.

However, as the two continued to clash, the information revealed by those subtle attacks still left the Flower Goddess speechless.

Being unable to defeat a demigod and being unable to defeat a legendary being are two completely different concepts.

However, the Flower Goddess kept this news to herself and even actively blocked out certain things, otherwise it would have been too much of a blow.

The legend of challenging demigods is not unheard of in the main world, but at most they could only deal with ordinary demigods. How could they possibly be able to suppress an entire demigod kingdom like they are now?

Limited by the professional system, challenges beyond one's level are much more difficult in this world compared to other source worlds.

The incredibly well-developed and meticulously planned career system, while reducing the difficulty of attaining enlightenment, allows for the emergence of over a thousand true gods comparable to cosmic gods in a single reincarnation era.

However, relatively speaking, their strength will be weaker at the same level, and the class advantage/disadvantage will be stronger.

As time passed, Lu Yunhe became increasingly adept at handling the situation, while the Flower Goddess faced ever greater pressure.

"No, I still have a chance to win!"

Although the situation is not yet hopeless, the Flower Goddess is gradually able to see her future, taking one step at a time, just as cultivators do.

The goddess of flowers could not accept the prospect of death and still clung to the hope of struggling to change her fate.

“His realm is his greatest limitation.”

The Flower Goddess elevated her mental abilities to the extreme, quickly discovering details of the enemy's actions in battle, and minimizing her injuries.

If one is only at the legendary level, their body indeed cannot withstand the attack of a demigod, and their primal power is far inferior.

Realizing this, the Flower Goddess slashed with her scythe, avoiding the piercing attack of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, and then leaped onto the head of the Netherworld Illusion Dragon.

With a flick of his left hand, a phantom image was instantly projected from the Sky Garden above and merged into the body of the Netherworld Dragon.

“Explode!”

A massive amount of primordial power condensed within the Netherworld Dragon, undergoing continuous compression and forging.

Then, the Netherworld Dragon opened its mouth, and a dazzling beam of primordial light instantly blasted towards Lu Yunhe.

When faced with an existence of lower power, pure energy becomes the optimal solution in the face of absolute power.

Using one's own strengths to attack the opponent's weaknesses, directly competing in terms of the consumption of one's vital energy, this kind of shameless fighting style is enough to make cultivators who want to win against the odds feel helpless.

The three forces—the origin of the Netherworld Dragon itself, the origin of the Flower Goddess as a demigod, and the accumulation of the entire Garden Kingdom—were injected into the Netherworld Dragon's body, enough to propel its primal power to another level.

"Tide flags, dreamy tides!"

Lu Yunhe took the tide banner from behind him, gripped the handle with both hands, and swung it with all his might.

In an instant, dreamlike bubbles appeared, each bubble a fantastical world.

The surrounding space was also tinged with a dreamlike color, rippling like the tide.

The Netherworld Dragon's primal attack struck the dreamlike tide in an instant, destroying countless dreamlike bubbles, yet a massive number of bubbles reappeared the next moment.

The immense primordial breath was eroded by the dreamlike illusion, unable to get any closer to Lu Yunhe's body.

A massive burst of primordial dragon breath was unleashed, forcing even the Netherworld Illusion Dragon, made of demigod-grade material, to pause.

Although the source power within the body has exceeded the limit, its output power is limited.

"continue!"

The Flower Goddess remained unmoved, continuing to control the Netherworld Dragon as it unleashed another breath of primordial dragon breath.

The dragon's breath, which seemed to pierce through the heavens and earth, still could not break through the illusory tidal sea.

boom! ! !

The Netherworld Dragon continued to spew dragon breath, and the immense primal power began to backfire on its owner, causing cracks to appear in the otherwise indestructible demigod body.

The areas that were repaired later on are showing signs of further damage and breakage.

"go with!"

Lu Yunhe manipulated the Tide Banner to block the dragon's breath, and then seized the opportunity when the breath was interrupted, sending dreamlike bubbles drifting towards the Flower Goddess.

Swish swish!
