233: Chapter 233 Light Waves
Tuai Planet.
Kuhai Desert.
This was a vast desert region.
It was also the largest desert on Tuai Planet.
Giant Scorpions were burrowing creatures; for them, the desert was actually an ideal living environment.
The desert, usually bustling with life, had recently turned into a massive battlefield.
The withered yellow sands were now filled with the massive carcasses of Giant Scorpions.
As the Giant Scorpion People cultivated, they could freely change their body size.
This was the so-called ability to be large or small.
However, once they died, they would lose control and revert to their gargantuan state.
Green blood covered the earth, and colossal corpses were scattered everywhere across the golden sea of sand.
And at this moment.
Waves of earth-shaking sounds of slaughter continuously echoed throughout the desert.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Massive sounds of impact rang out incessantly.
Looking closely.
Densely packed Giant Scorpions were raising their massive front claws to block wave after wave of tide-like impacts.
At the same time, these defending Giant Scorpions constantly extended the sharp stingers behind them to counterattack.
Now, if one were to raise their line of sight higher.
They would see Giant Scorpions covering the entire desert.
These Giant Scorpions were divided into two camps, and the two camps formed tides that constantly crashed into each other.
Soon, after a massive impact, casualties were everywhere.
But even so, both sides continued to charge forward one after another, fighting desperately against the other.
It was as if the opposition were unforgivable sinners.
Enormous corpses continuously appeared on the desert.
But even these corpses were quickly trampled and crushed when faced with the tide-like onslaught.
At this moment.
Hundreds of meters in the sky.
A flash of black light appeared, and a figure emerged.
As soon as the figure appeared, the black light began to spread, like a black sun shining high in the sky.
A heavy pressure, like a mountain, fell directly onto the battlefield, and the two tide-like armies fighting below instantly stalled.
But just then.
A flash of earthy yellow halo flickered out.
Following the earthy yellow halo was, surprisingly, another figure.
At this moment.
As soon as this earthy yellow figure appeared, he opened his own aura to cancel out the aura of the black halo.
Immediately, the heavy pressure vanished.
But regardless of who it was, everyone could clearly feel a thick pressure spreading from above their heads.
That pressure was far heavier than a mountain.
Hanging high between heaven and earth, it seemed to make the world creak, as if it were overwhelmed by the burden.
Now, the two figures high in the sky revealed themselves.
One was clad in earthy yellow armor, his body standing two meters tall.
He had a solemn and dignified expression, looking at his opponent with a grave gaze.
A massive power filled the entire space between heaven and earth.
Opposite him was a man shimmering with black light.
His stalwart body emitted waves of terrifying aura.
“Kogash!!!”
“You truly are a sinner of our civilization!”
The man in the earthy yellow armor swept his gaze over the battlefield below, looking at the man in black light with a heavy face.
Hearing this.
The man in black light opposite him slightly raised his head and suddenly sneered.
“Kunizan, you are old!”
“Under your leadership for so many years, the civilization's development has lagged; you are the sinner of our civilization!”
“If our civilization wants to advance, we need to eradicate stubborn people like you!”
“As the saying goes, there is no construction without destruction; only after breaking can we establish!”
“As long as we eradicate sinners like you, the Giant Scorpion Civilization can take flight once more and develop rapidly again!”
As he spoke, Kogash's expression became arrogant.
He looked at Kunizan and suddenly burst into laughter.
Hearing Kogash's laughter, Kunizan's expression immediately turned angry.
“Our race is unique, and our development is inherently lagging. At this time, what we need is to accumulate foundation and develop steadily, not to make a radical and reckless leap!!!”
Seeing this.
Kogash laughed again.
“Hahaha!”
“Hahaha!”
The sound of his crazed laughter spread throughout the world. All the Giant Scorpions on the battlefield stopped fighting and looked up at the two kings.
“Steady development? Accumulating foundation?”
“Nonsense!!!”
“Absolute nonsense!!!”
Kogash suddenly became furious.
His voice rose higher and higher, filled with rage, as anger simmered within him.
“You know our race is unique, and you know our development is lagging!”
“If that's the case, we should strive even harder to develop our civilization!!!”
“Slow development might work for other civilizations, but for us, it's a slow death!!!”
“In the Neili Star Sector, there are thousands of civilized races, but the one at the very bottom is us!!!”
“It's us!” “It's us!” “It's us!”...
Kogash's angry roars echoed repeatedly.
His heart had been completely ignited by the raging flames of anger.
Many years ago, Kogash had become an explorer.
Over the years, he had followed exploration teams, constantly venturing into interstellar space, risking his life, and gaining vast knowledge.
Because of this, he clearly recognized the sorrow of being at the bottom of civilization.
The entire Universe was controlled by the Cosmic Union.
The Human Race was the number one race, and most of the other races were also humanoid beings.
There were very few races with the appearance of Vicious Beasts.
Those who are not of our race must have a different heart.
Since the Giant Scorpion Civilization had the appearance of Vicious Beasts, their development was naturally sidelined.
Being the bottom civilization of the Neili Star Sector was not just because their development was low, but also because their Vicious Beast appearance meant their development potential had a low ceiling.
Being a bottom civilization with low potential meant they could be eliminated at any time.
“I understand our situation, but it's precisely because of this that we need to develop steadily. Civilizational development is slow, especially since our foundation is too weak. Even Legendary Warriors, who are seen everywhere in the Universe, are born with great difficulty in our civilization!”
“It hasn't been easy for our civilization to reach this point. Therefore, what we need is more stable time; we need to accumulate, catch up, and pursue!”
“As long as we maintain stability and sustain our development for a period, we can continuously move forward, catch up, and surpass!”
“I believe our civilization can definitely go against the current!”
Kunizan's expression was solemn and dignified, a divine light emerging in his eyes, as firm as a pilgrim's faith.
His voice was powerful and resonant.
Like an inviolable law, it washed through the world.
Naturally, it also fell upon the battlefield.
For a moment, the Giant Scorpions on the battlefield were moved to tears.
Their hearts were naturally filled with love for their civilization.
This was also the origin of this war.
Hearing Kunizan's voice.
Kogash's face calmed down. He gave a soft sigh and said gently:
“I also believe in our civilization, but time waits for no one!”
“Development that is too safe takes too long, far too long!”
“I'm afraid our civilization won't last until that day comes!”
“In the vast and boundless starry sky, even saint-grade civilizations don't dare to say they will surely exist forever. I have even witnessed the destruction of some Legendary Civilizations with my own eyes!”
“I'm afraid!”
“I'm afraid I can't wait, I'm afraid our civilization can't wait. Under this starry sky, no one can predict which will come first: an accident or the future!”
“Especially for a bottom civilization like ours, we can be abandoned or wiped out at any moment!”
Kogash's tone was incredibly heavy, even filled with sorrow.
A thick emotion radiated from him, filling the world and directly masking the tragic atmosphere of the battlefield.
“Our civilization has developed for two thousand years, yet there are only two Legendaries: you and me!”
“Only the two of us can transform into human form!!!”
“This kind of strength is simply not worth mentioning in the Universe!”
“Perhaps a random Legendary expert passing by could wipe us out!”
“I don't want to place the safety of my civilization on the kindness of others!”
“I don't want to watch my civilization be destroyed!”
“I don't want to suffer; those days would be without peace forever!”
Kogash's tone was full of sorrow.
His gaze looked toward the distance.
He took in all the mountains and rivers, and it was as if he could see through space, taking in the entire territory of the Giant Scorpion Civilization.
Tuai Planet.
The planet where the Giant Scorpion Civilization was born.
To other civilizations, the sky full of yellow sand and the vast deserts were barren and rejected.
But for the Giant Scorpion Civilization, it was a comfortable environment for growth.
Through long periods of time and constant slaughter, the Giant Scorpion Civilization had finally established a foothold on this planet and begun its evolution.
The Giant Scorpion Civilization should not be eliminated like this.
“This Universe belongs to the strong!”
“Saints sit high above like gods, and Legendary Warriors fight constantly!”
“I have seen with my own eyes how backward civilizations are like playthings in the eyes of those high and mighty Legendaries!”
“They are even wiped out at a whim!”
“The strong stay strong, and the weak stay weak forever!”
Kogash's voice was deafening, saturated with boundless love for his civilization.
“So!”
Black light shot from his eyes as he looked at Kunizan like a source of light.
“So, I have returned!”
“I come to change, to guide, and to develop!”
Kogash's voice was filled with excitement.
A raging fire burned in his eyes.
It was as if he saw the near future, where the entire civilization developed rapidly under his leadership, constantly catching up and surpassing others.
At that time, Golden Warriors would be everywhere.
At that time, Legendary Warriors would guard the civilization.
All Giant Scorpion People would no longer be discriminated against.
All Giant Scorpion People would no longer be treated specially only because they were useful for exploration.
The civilization would be treated as an equal.
At that time, he would also vigorously develop technological power. He wanted all Giant Scorpion People to have human forms early on!!!
Only with a human form could they freely roam the Universe.
They could enjoy the vastness of the starry sky to their heart's content, rather than living as explorers, constantly on edge between life and death.
Listening to Kogash's words, Kunizan sighed softly.
This was the reason why he hadn't stopped Kogash when he first returned.
The other's love for the civilization was no weaker than his own.
But the conflict had developed to the point where they had to make a final settlement!
The fragile Giant Scorpion Civilization could not withstand such a war any longer!
“It seems neither of us can convince the other. In that case, let us make the final settlement!”
Kunizan sighed.
“It should have been so long ago!!!”
Kogash smiled suddenly, then reached out and clenched his fist!
A pitch-black stinger suddenly emerged.
A terrifying aura spread through the air.
In the next moment.
Kogash waved his hand violently, and the stinger tore through the air, appearing directly in front of Kunizan.
“Fear is the driving force of civilization!”
The Stinger of Fear tore through space like a sharp arrow, instantly stabbing toward Kunizan.
Its speed was simply indescribable.
Furthermore, a layer of black power swirled around the stinger.
Seeing this, the divine light in Kunizan's eyes exploded.
The earthy yellow armor around his body suddenly shone brilliantly.
This armor was actually his original carapace.
After transforming into human form, it became armor covering his body.
He originally cultivated the Dao of Earth.
Heavy earth elements instantly condensed, turning into a hard Shield of Earth standing before him.
However.
Something beyond his expectations happened.
The condensed Shield of Earth was actually pierced through directly.
The incredibly powerful force pierced the shield, and the stinger's momentum continued, landing on his chest.
Bang!!!
The stinger swirling with black Qi collided with the earthy yellow armor, and the massive force caused the space in front of his chest to explode into ripples.
Kunizan was even blown back by this powerful force.
He retreated a hundred meters before he could barely stop himself.
Kunizan raised his head, looking at Kogash in surprise.
A small crack had actually appeared on the armor on his chest.
“The Power of Devouring?!”
Kunizan raised his head, looking at Kogash with immense shock.
The Giant Scorpion Civilization mostly lived in burrows, so naturally, they dealt with earth the most.
And in the entire civilization, the most common power born was the power of earth.
Of course, there were always outliers.
Giant Scorpion People occasionally comprehended other powers.
However, for one, there was no supportive environment, and for another, they would inevitably face strange looks during their growth.
It was very difficult for these Giant Scorpions who comprehended other powers to eventually grow up.
Therefore, he never expected Kogash to have actually comprehended the Power of Devouring.
This was his first time encountering such a powerful Devouring force.
Due to a moment of carelessness, he had actually suffered a minor loss.
“I remember your power wasn't Devour before!”
Kunizan raised his head and said to Kogash.
“For the civilization, for rapid development, I needed even stronger power!”
Kogash laughed. “And this... is the comprehension I gained when stepping into the Legendary stage!”
Kunizan's spirit jolted, and he said coldly, “Fine, then let me experience this Power of Devouring of yours!”
As he spoke, the divine light around him exploded, and he charged forward.
Earthy yellow light spread, and gravity began to increase continuously.
For a moment, even the air around him began to warp.
In that instant, the gravity around him increased by a full hundred times.
At this moment, even Kogash looked solemn and stood ready.
However.
At this critical juncture.
An undetectable lightwave spread across.
Like a layer of light, it directly passed through a large number of Giant Scorpions on the battlefield.
Every Giant Scorpion that the lightwave passed through suddenly felt waves of bone-piercing pain.
It was as if all the nerves in their bodies were being forcibly pulled out.
The pain of being skinned or having one's tendons pulled could not even compare to it.
This pain spread throughout their entire bodies, as if the nerves of their whole bodies were starting to snap.
“Ah!!”
“Roar!”
“It hurts, it hurts so much!”
Wails rang out.
All the Giant Scorpions suddenly stumbled and fell powerlessly to the ground.
In an instant, the wails throughout the entire battlefield overwhelmed everything else.
Thousands of wails shot into the sky. Such a bizarre scene was immediately noticed by Kunizan and Kogash.
Their Battle Intent subsided in an instant.
The two of them looked down in horror.
From far to near, swaths of Giant Scorpions collapsed to the ground, wailing.
It was as if some invisible substance was spreading over.
Although they couldn't see this invisible substance, they could see the Giant Scorpion warriors collapsing under its influence.
“This is...?!”
Kunizan and Kogash looked at each other, both seeing the fear in the other's eyes.
The abnormality below was definitely happening, but the two of them couldn't detect the slightest thing wrong.
Even when they scanned the wailing warriors with their Mental Energy, they couldn't detect any abnormality.
In their perception, those warriors were still full of vitality and hadn't suffered any injury!
And in the next moment.
The sweeping lightwave directly covered the two of them!
In the next moment.
“Ugh...”
Heavy sounds of agony rang out. Their bodies convulsed, and they fell directly from the sky!
