Five Frozen Centuries - Chapter 384
Chapter 384: Devouring Beast
It seemed like the natives living on this planet were very confident. Although they valued the two Mythical creatures, they were not afraid of Wei Huo and the Snake God.
However, at that moment, the starry sky above their heads was suddenly extinguished!
Everyone lifted their heads and looked at the sky. It was a starry sky that was constantly spinning. Because the time flow outside the star system was faster, the starry sky was spinning very quickly. However, the starry sky was constantly darkening.
The stars went out one after another. It was like seeing a city with a power outage from space. All the lights were suddenly gone.
Dozens of stars were extinguished every second. The sky started turning darker and darker.
Wei Huo asked, “Is this normal?”
The peak Legendary creature was stunned. He did not understand what had happened. He said, “Why? What happened? Why did the stars disappear?”
The Snake God said, “One second here equals millions of years outside. A few stars disappear every few million years. This speed can’t be considered fast.”
“The Star Devourer! The legendary Star Devourer is here!” Some races that had descended kept shouting in their language.
Some of the fleets seemed to have fled there. These fleets kept sending messages to the fleets chasing them. “Are you still chasing us? The Star Devourer is here. He has arrived in the Milky Way. Your star system might have been devoured!”
The starry sky kept turning dark. Only a few dim stars were still glowing occasionally. Ma Tengyun looked at the scenery and could not help but say, “That’s a dying star. It seems like it’s beneath the Star Devourer when it comes to devouring such stars.”
Gradually, the starry sky began to dim. The sky, which should have been filled with countless stars, turned pitch-black. Fear could not help but linger in their hearts.
Then, a civilization shouted in a panic, “It’s here! The Star Devourer is here. Do you see it?”
Everyone looked in one direction and saw a super-large beast approaching them at high speed.
It was a super-large beast three times the size of a star system. It had four to five legs and a ring on its face. In the middle of the ring was a gigantic black cave.
The light of the stars shone on the giant beast. Due to the reflection, everyone saw the giant beast.
At that moment, a peak Legendary-level native said calmly, “The Milky Way is finished!”
His words spread out in the form of mental waves. As soon as he finished speaking, the others nodded in agreement. Everyone stopped fighting. At that moment, there was no point in fighting. Everything was over. There was no point in fighting anymore.
However, they had not expected the peak Legendary native to say, “Not every creature can set foot in this star system. This is a Rule Area created by a level-nine Divine Artifact. Every object that enters this area will make the area larger. The volume will increase three times. If this giant beast enters this place…”
Wei Huo and the Snake God were the only ones who heard that. The Legendary creature did not transmit any more spiritual waves. It was talking to its companion. Wei Huo and the Snake God could naturally intercept their conversation.
At that moment, the head of the Star Devourer had already entered the star system. Just as the peak Legendary creature had said, the range of the time fault had suddenly expanded. One head of the giant beast had expanded to the size of three heads of the Star Devourer. When the giant beast had entered half of its body, it had expanded the body 1.5 times.
Before the Star Devourer could fully enter, a second Star Devourer appeared. It seemed like the second Star Devourer had come to help after seeing that its companion could not take down the star system.
Their traveling speed in the universe was not considered fast, but the time flow outside was millions of times faster.
With the addition of the second Star Devourer, the time fault area continued expanding. Soon, the third, fourth, and subsequent Star Devourers started entering the star system from the outside.
Wei Huo said, “It seems like a level-nine Divine Artifact is comparable to a real Mythical creature. Generally speaking, only the Rule Waves released by a Mythical creature can grow on their own.”
The three Forbidden Death Areas created by Wei Huo were the best example. The more people entered them, the larger the territory of the Forbidden Death Areas would become. The aura of death would also increase.
It seemed like this was the case now. More and more Star Devourers were squeezing their way in, causing the time gap to increase.
It seemed like that was why the Legendary peak had said that the Milky Way was finished. If the Star Devourers squeezed into this star system, the time fault might expand to cover the entire Milky Way.
The peak Legendary creature said, “It seems like there’s not much time left. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been a Perfected cultivator in our race. Perhaps this is the repulsive force of the world.”
Another peak Legendary creature said, “That’s right. As the time gap continues to expand, the fourth level, fifth level, and even the outside world will continue to grow indefinitely. The third level is already a million times larger than the outside world. If the fourth level appears, the time ratio will probably be a million times larger. At this rate, we will be able to see the prelude to the universe’s destruction before long.”
These peak Legendary creatures no longer fought with the people of other civilizations. They immediately returned to the ground and used various divine weapons to leave the planet with a large number of their people. However, when they left the planet and returned to the second level of the time fault, the star system was already surrounded by endless Star Devourers. There was not even a single blind spot left.
However, they did not give up. The peak Legendary creature among them roared, “Use the divine weapon to open a path!”
At that moment, all sorts of immortal fluctuations spread out. However, the Star Devourers were too huge. In front of these Star Swallowing Beasts, humans were as small as microorganisms.
The sizes of Star Devourers ranged from the size of a star system to the size of 10 star systems. However, they did not seem to have any intelligence. Their instinct drove them to devour stars. Most of the stars in the Milky Way had been devoured by them. The only ones left were the stars in the Forbidden Death Zone.
The Star Devourers kept squeezing in. Due to the time fault, the Star Devourers behind them squeezed in one after another. This caused the area around the star system to be filled with distorted Star Devourer faces. They had open mouths that looked very disgusting.
Wei Huo told the Snake God, “I thought of a place where I could leave this world, but the road has been blocked.”
The Snake God said calmly, “Star Devourers? Unfortunately, that doesn’t match my sense of aesthetics. In that case, devour them all.”
After the two Mythical creatures finished communicating, two Rule Waves spread out silently.
