155: Eclipse Star Devourer

"Pfft!" Lin Yuan spat out another mouthful of blood. His vision went black, he felt the world spinning, and his body shot upwards uncontrollably!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

When he managed to stabilize his figure and dispel the dizziness, he realized he had been forcibly "sent" back to the surface by that world-shaking power!

Beneath his feet lay the ruins covered in gloomy moss. At this moment, the area was like a frying pan thrown into boiling water; the ground was cracking and rising frantically! Countless low-tier exotic beasts were fleeing and shrieking in the smoke like headless flies, only to be swallowed by the collapsing ground or vaporized by pillars of magma shooting into the sky!

Lin Yuan looked up at the sky in horror!

He saw that the originally dark red, thick canopy of the sky now looked like a shattered mirror, covered in countless crisscrossing, massive black cracks! Within the cracks, it was not emptiness, but absolute darkness that churned, deeper and more chaotic, as if it could devour all light!

An aura, even more terrifying, vast, and despair-inducing than the pressure from the Dark Heart's promotion, was flooding into this isolated world from the depths of the shattered sky like a burst dam!

Woo—woo—woo—!!!

In the center of the base, the silver stele transformed from the myriad laws heavenly stele Clone emitted an unprecedented, ear-piercing alarm! Blinding red light flashed frantically, bathing the entire base in a scarlet glow!

On the intelligence screen, all data was instantly cleared, leaving only a massive, continuously flashing scarlet warning:

【Warning! Warning! Ultra-high-tier spatial fluctuations detected!】

【Spatial coordinates: 93582, 36852, 98201 (Thousand Absolute Star City Core)】

【Energy level: Tier 7 exotic beast!】

【Exotic beast type: Sun-Eater Star-Devouring Beast (Mature Form)!】

【Estimated arrival countdown: 10 breaths!】

【All Trial Participants! Return to the base immediately! Highest alert level! Repeat! Return to the base immediately! Highest alert level!!!】

This warning was like a funeral knell, instantly striking the hearts of all Trial Participants!

"Sun... Sun-Eater Star-Devouring Beast?! Tier 7 exotic beast?!" Luo Hou, who was struggling to fend off the siege of hundreds of Tier 5 exotic beasts in the ruins, nearly dropped his Destruction Light Axe when he saw the alarm synchronized on his wristband! For the first time, an expression of incredulous horror appeared on his face! The records of the Destruction Temple clearly documented the name of this terrifying existence—it was a world-ending giant beast capable of destroying an entire Star City!

"Tier 7..." Luo Shen, not far from the base, turned as pale as paper. The Eternal Barrier she had erected fluctuated violently under the vast pressure from afar, like a candle in the wind. The dozens of Disciple under her protection collapsed to the ground, their eyes filled with despair.

"Space... has been forcibly torn open?!" Clear Emptiness of the Time-Space Divine Temple flashed out from a spatial crack in a sorry state, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. He tried to stabilize the chaotic space around him, only to find that his power appeared so insignificant beneath that shattered sky!

"Run! Run back to the base!" Someone cried out in a heart-wrenching scream.

The entire battlefield instantly fell into Chaos! All Trial Participants, whether they were top Prodigy or ordinary Cultivator, had only one thought at this moment—to escape back into that absolutely safe light barrier as fast as possible! merit points? Honor points? In front of a Tier 7 world-ending giant beast, they were all a joke!

Lin Yuan hovered in mid-air, protected by his Origin Dharma Body, staring fixedly at the shattered sky. His perception was the clearest; that aura... was more than a hundred times more terrifying than the Dark Heart that was forcibly pushing for Tier 7 underground! That was a true, complete Tier 7 Peak! Its combat power had definitely reached a terrifying level of over 100 million Yu! Perhaps even higher!

Ten breaths of time passed in the blink of an eye!

Boom—crack—!!!

In the sky, that largest spatial crack, resembling a scar, was violently torn open by an indescribable power, creating a massive gap over one hundred kilometers in diameter!

Behind the gap was not the starry sky, but turbulent dimensional flows of Chaos and destruction!

A claw slowly extended from the gap.

It was merely "a claw"!

The claw was covered in pitch-black scales heavier than stars, and dark red, magma-like destructive energy flowed through the gaps in the scales. Each toe was like a giant pillar supporting the heavens, exceeding a thousand meters in length! The tips of the claws shimmered with a chilling, cold light, and as they gently brushed across space, they left behind black scars that could not heal for a long time!

When this claw fully emerged from the gap, the pressure it naturally emitted caused the ground of the Thousand Absolute Star City ruins below to heave and crack violently like waves! Countless fleeing exotic beasts and Trial Participants who were a step too slow were instantly blasted into mists of blood, as if struck by an invisible giant hammer! They didn't even have time to scream!

Immediately following, a hideously massive head, unimaginably large, slowly emerged from the gap!

The head resembled a combination of a giant whale and a demonic dragon, covered in the same pitch-black scales, with several twisted, spiral giant horns growing on its head that seemed capable of piercing the firmament! A pair of huge eyes, burning with dark red flames, slowly opened, scanning the crumbling earth below with indifference and ruthlessness, as if looking down at ants!

Wherever its gaze fell, space solidified, and all things withered!

Sun-Eater Star-Devouring Beast! Tier 7 exotic beast! combat power: 200 million Yu! Arrival!

"Roar—!!!"

A roar, whose terror could not be described in words, erupted from that hideous giant mouth! The sound did not travel through the air, but exploded directly in the depths of everyone's Soul!

Boom—!!!

The materialized sound waves, mixed with a terrifying Soul impact, swept out in all directions from the Sun-Eater Star-Devouring Beast like a world-ending tsunami!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The hundreds of Trial Participants who were closer and had not yet returned to the base, regardless of their strength or which Divine Realm they came from, had their bodies instantly burst like blown-up balloons! Their Divine Soul were instantly annihilated under the terrifying Soul impact! Even the barrier of the light-screen base fluctuated violently, with dense ripples appearing on its surface!

Lin Yuan bore the brunt of it!

That terrifying sound wave and Soul impact slammed violently against his Origin Dharma Body! The Dharma Body vibrated violently, the chaos heavenly evolution robe erupted with blinding light, and the cracks on its surface widened once again! He felt as if he had been struck hard; his vision went black, and blood instantly spilled from his ears and nose! He was sent flying backward at a terrifying speed, as if hit by a starship, and smashed hard into a hill several kilometers away!

Rumble!!!

Half of the hill was collapsed by the impact!

Amidst the swirling dust, Lin Yuan struggled to stand up from the rubble, covered in blood, his aura extremely withered. The light of his Origin Dharma Body was dim, the chaos heavenly evolution robe was damaged in many places, and its defensive power was greatly reduced. His flesh and blood felt as if they were burning, and the circulation of his power was incredibly sluggish. Just the aftermath of a single roar had left him heavily injured!
