Chapter 2008: Shattered Star River, Encountering the Devourer Clan Army, Their Numbers Pile Up to Kill People

Killing a king-level Devourer Clan is, for the younger generation, nothing short of a fantasy, an impossibility.

But in Jun Xiaoyao's dictionary, there is no such thing as impossible.

You must know, even when facing the three self-severed quasi-emperors of the Corpse Clan.

Jun Xiaoyao did not reveal all his means.

That is to say, the three self-severed quasi-emperors of the Corpse Clan still did not force out Jun Xiaoyao's true limits!

Jun Xiaoyao himself became curious.

Where exactly is his limit?

This hunt of the Devourer Clan as training might be a good opportunity.

Afterwards, the entire Three Emperors' Bulwark also began to operate.

Not only the heaven's pride, but many of the Border Guard Army also began to move.

Armor stood in neat rows, weapons gleamed coldly.

After being organized, the Border Guard Army and the multitude of heaven's pride also set out.

Through the teleportation array, they were transmitted to the edge of the uninhabited zone, then entered the Great Wilderness region.

Heading toward this time's destination, they advanced toward the Shattered Star River.

Compared to the Star Corpse Land that appeared during the previous Mourning Demon Tide.

The Shattered Star River requires even deeper penetration into the uninhabited zone.

It has even spread to the junction of the White Mist Zone and the Gray Mist Zone.

And during the march, the Border Guard Army encountered harassment from Mourning Demons more than once.

But all were easily dealt with.

After an unknown amount of time, Jun Xiaoyao saw in the starry sky ahead.

A vast galaxy flowing, within which billions of stars twinkled.

At the same time, there were also void fissures, some with towering mountain ridges, some with surging waves, some with profound darkness.

It seemed as if these void fissures were passages to different worlds.

"Young Master, this Shattered Star River has extremely unstable space; some fissures lead to many ancient, ruined worlds."

"Many are remnants of worlds left behind after the ancient black calamities' destruction."

Beside him, Lu Xingling explained to Jun Xiaoyao.

This expedition, Lu Xingling and the Seventy-Two Squad also came.

She happened to want to use the Devourer Clan to test the power of the new battle formation.

Jun Xiaoyao, upon hearing this, slightly nodded.

This is somewhat similar to the dimensional starry sky where the Three Holy Spaces are located.

Jun Xiaoyao's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration.

Will this appearance of the Devourer Clan be related to some relics?

Jun Xiaoyao tucked this thought away in his heart.

Next, the team continued forward.

After entering the Shattered Star River, the Border Guard Army obviously became more vigilant, focused their minds, and dared not be the slightest bit careless.

After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, everyone heard a rustling sound from afar.

Like the sound of sandpaper rubbing, sharp and unsettling.

"Everyone, be on guard!"

A commander of the Border Guard Army said.

And some of the heaven's pride following the Border Guard Army also directed their gazes over.

But seen in the distant dark starry sky, there was a dense black tide surging forward.

Upon closer inspection, that was not a tide, but a magnificent black tide formed by countless Devourer Clan.

Jun Xiaoyao's gaze also turned there.

Those Devourer Clan should be the lowest slave-level Devourer Clan, even unable to take human form.

Their bodies were covered in hard exoskeletons, like spiders, with eight claws, and their finger claws were sharp as curved blades.

Before departure, the elders had briefly explained to them.

The Devourer Clan's flesh is also extremely hard; some powerful Devourer Clan can even directly forge their exoskeletons into battle armor-like existences.

At the same time, they possess boundless strength.

Some powerful Devourer Clan can, with their sharp finger claws, directly tear apart some low-level supreme weapons as easily as cutting tofu.

Therefore, the Devourer Clan is a black calamity race not to be underestimated.

Of course, the black tide appearing now is merely the lowest slave-level Devourer Clan.

However, within it, there are also some soldier-level Devourer Clan mixed in.

Soldier-level Devourer Clan mostly possess the strength of the Sacred Realm, though not up to supreme, but still extremely difficult to deal with.

Moreover, these soldier-level Devourer Clan have already gained the ability to take human form.

Their appearance is almost like humans, except their bodies are covered in dark-colored carapaces.

Some have four eyes, or grow feelers on their foreheads.

Suddenly, a soldier-level Devourer Clan among the Devourer Clan turned its four eyes toward the Border Guard Army side, then let out a long howl.

In this long howl, it seemed to carry a special sound wave, transmitting information.

Instantly, the entire Devourer Clan army became agitated.

They began to surge forward in a tumultuous wave to slaughter the Border Guard Army!

Kill!

The commander of the Border Pacification Army on this side also waved his hand.

One squad after another of the Border Pacification Army and the heavenly pride also charged out.

In an instant, this shattered star river turned into a battlefield of blood and fire.

Although some heavenly pride were facing the Devouring Clan for the first time,

perhaps because they were only slave-level and soldier-level Devouring Clan, there were no casualties.

The battle line of the Border Pacification Army advanced steadily, like a meat grinder.

Those Devouring Clan surging like a tide were all crushed into powder.

Seeing this scene, the heavenly pride present all felt inspired.

The Devouring Clan were nothing more than this, not as troublesome as they had imagined.

However, Jun Xiaoyao slightly furrowed his brow, showing no joy.

Although these Devouring Clan posed little threat,

there was a problem.

That is, their numbers were too great.

And they were almost endless.

In the distance, dense and endless Devouring Clan surged forward without end.

"No wonder that senior said before, the number of Devouring Clan, among the Black Calamity races, is absolutely the highest."

"These slave-level Devouring Clan are basically cannon fodder used to consume combat power."

"Even soldier-level Devouring Clan are nothing but stronger cannon fodder."

Jun Xiaoyao did not relax.

Because he knew, the Devouring Clan were different from the Walking Corpse Clan.

Their tactics were simple and brutal.

They just used numbers to bury people alive.

As expected, with the passage of time,

the heavenly pride discovered something.

That is, the number of Devouring Clan now was exactly the same as at the beginning, showing no sign of decrease.

In the distance, even more Devouring Clan surged forward like a tide without stopping.

"This... have we encountered the Devouring Clan army?"

One heavenly pride was somewhat startled.

One commander of the Border Pacification Army frowned and said: "It should not yet be considered a major army; the Devouring Clan army must at least be led by a general-level Devouring Clan."

"That is to say, what we face now should only be a small wave of Devouring Clan."

"What, this counts as a small wave?"

Some heavenly pride were utterly astonished, they had still underestimated the Devouring Clan's numbers.

"If a true Devouring Clan army were to attack, the entire world would be filled with them, heaven and earth overflowing with Devouring Clan."

Another commander of the Border Pacification Army said.

And as time passed,

the Devouring Clan numbers showed no sign of decreasing.

Meanwhile, on the Border Pacification Army's side, many cultivators had already begun to suffer from exhaustion.

They also needed time to recover their magic power.

Not everyone is like Jun Xiaoyao, who possesses the innate holy body Dao fetus, with magic power so abundant it seems inexhaustible.

And in this great battle,

Ling Xingling's performance was extremely outstanding.

She used a new battle formation, combining the strength of the seventy-two squads, and advanced seven times and retreated seven times amidst the surging Devouring Clan like a tide.

This made Jun Xiaoyao recall something.

Once, the Human Sovereign Guard established under the Xuanyuan Great Emperor had once cut through the Devouring Clan army infamous for its terrifying numbers.

If Ling Xingling were to lead the Human Sovereign Guard and form a battle formation, their combat power could be expected.

Moreover, Jun Xiaoyao also obtained the Xuanyuan Command, granting him the qualification to command the Five Tiger Divine Generals and the Human Sovereign Guard.

So, Jun Xiaoyao plans to, after the bet with the Red Dust Imperial Son ends,

he should also temporarily leave the Three Emperors' Barrier to seek the traces of the Five Tiger Divine Generals and the Human Sovereign Guard.

This concerns his plan; he must bring this combat power under his control.
