Devouring the Starry Sky: You will become stronger through practice

"The attack failed!?"

Luo Shen couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

Although he thought that something might have happened to the King of Yu State, he did not expect that he would suffer heavy damage due to the failure of breaking through to a higher level. He did not expect that his injury would be so serious that the King of Shi State began to invade on a large scale.

But soon, Luo Shen thought of another thing.

"The ruler of Yu State is striving for a higher level. Why would the people of Shi State know about this?"

It stands to reason that when a strong person is in seclusion, he will not easily expose his condition, so as not to be disturbed by others. Moreover, generally speaking, there will not be too much danger in breaking through to a higher level. Even if the breakthrough fails, he will recover after a short period of time.

But the King of Yu State is now seriously injured, which is a bit unreasonable.

Marquis Jiujiang hesitated and didn't speak for a long time.

Luo Shen knew there was something fishy going on at first sight, and he forced the other party to tell him the real reason. Only then did Jiu Jiang Hou tell him the real reason.

"What? The ruler of Yu State was attacked by someone when he was breaking through?"

After hearing this answer, Luo Shen felt that it was even more unbelievable. Could such a thing really happen?

To know.

The King of Yu State is the most powerful being in the entire Yu State. Before the rise of Shi State, there were almost no powerful God Kings in the surrounding areas who could compare with him. Even the current King of Shi State does not dare to say that he can win when facing the King of Yu State.

and.

The place where the King of Yu State is in seclusion must be guarded by strong men.

What kind of strong person could get through the heavy defenses and hurt the powerful King of Yu?
Could it be that the ancient country took action?
In response, Lord Jiujiang could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

He didn't know much information about the situation of the King of Yu State. Besides the fact that the King of Yu State suffered a serious injury, the other God Kings had not contacted him. It was as if the Jiujiang Hun Dun State had become an abandoned pawn, which made Jiujiang Hou smell something bad.

"It seems that we can no longer rely on the Yu Kingdom."

Luo Shen thought to himself.

Before, he had been planning to see if he could survive in the gap between Yu State and Shi State. After all, the strength of the two countries was almost the same. If they really fought, both sides would probably suffer losses. Even if the winner could be determined, it would definitely take an extremely long time.

But now it seems that this path is no longer feasible.

"Any other information?"

Luo Shen looked at Jiu Jiang Hou. He didn't believe that the other party had only obtained such little information after so much investigation.

If that's really the case.

Then he can only say that this is definitely a bad teammate.

Fortunately, Jiujiang Hou was more useful than expected. At least he found out the movements of the Food Nation Army, especially the movements of Juejian Hou, who was in charge of commanding the Jiujiang Chaos State. "Juejian Hou is now launching a war against several Chaos States around Jiujiang Chaos State, so he can't leave easily. Although we don't know how many Chaos Lords he can mobilize, we have confirmed that the Great Sage Shading the Sun is on his way to Huyang City."

The fact that Marquis Juejian cannot show up in person is definitely good news for Huyang City.

But judging from the movements of the Food Country Legion, this news is not good enough, because since the Food Country Legion is able to fight on multiple fronts, it means that they have sufficient manpower. At least in their view, they are able to fight on multiple fronts and delay or even defeat their opponents.

As for the Great Sage Shading the Sun who was on his way to Huyang City, Luo Shen didn't take him seriously.

Just a Chaos Lord.

It is hard to say who will win or lose against World Beast Warrior No. 1. This is a World Beast Warrior bred by the World Beast King. If he could be suppressed so easily, then the parties on the Origin Continent would not be so afraid of the World Beast King.

"In Huyang City, I have a backup plan, so there is no need to worry."

Luo Shen said, "What I am worried about now is that if we repel the invasion of the Food Nation again, will the next person to attack be that Juejian Hou?"

Being entrusted with such an important task by the Lord of Food Country, his strength and wisdom must be very high. At least all the Chaos Lords of Food Country will obey his orders. It is not easy to achieve this.

Being able to repel the invasion of the Food Kingdom once can be considered as luck.

But if they were defeated twice in succession, and each time a Chaos Lord of the Food Country died here, even a fool could guess that there was something fishy going on.

"Most definitely."

Marquis Jiujiang smiled bitterly, "In fact, Marquis Juejian had thought about going to attack Huyang City before. If he hadn't been anxious to seize a few Primal Chaos States while the king was still seriously injured and had gained an advantage, I'm afraid the one who came to Huyang City in person now would not be the Great Sage Shading the Sun."

Luo Shen's face was as gloomy as water.

He was actually wary of the Marquis of Juejian.

For a strong man, strength alone is not scary, because no matter how powerful he is, he is not an unscrupulous existence in this world. Even an ancient country is still restrained by other ancient countries. But a smart strong man is different.

Just like those strategists in ancient China who were good at maneuvering.

"After all, I'm not strong enough. If my power was strong enough, I could destroy the entire Food Kingdom by myself. Now I don't have to worry about this kind of thing."

Luo Shen shook his head, throwing away the unnecessary emotions.

"It seems that we can only fight alone now. However, the city defense formation of Huyang City is even worse than that of Jiujiang City. Even if we can barely defend it, it will inevitably fall in the end. So I think we have to find a new home in advance."

Luo Shen looked towards Jiu Jiang Hou.

In fact, he did not feel any psychological pressure about giving up Huyang City.

The only thing that makes me sigh is that I finally took control of Huyang City, but I had to give it up because of the threat from Shi Kingdom. It will take a lot of effort to find the next Huyang City.

Jiujiang Hou smiled bitterly and said, "Even Jiujiang City was lost in my hands, so losing the last city of Jiujiang Chaos State is not a big deal. After all, the Food Kingdom has dispatched a large number of Chaos Great Saint-level warriors this time. I alone am not capable of defending it."

What Lord Jiujiang didn’t say was that even the top leaders of the Yu State had no reaction, so what was there for a mere worker like him to care about?

At worst, I can just change places and continue working.

The Lord of Chaos has this kind of confidence. If he is not welcome here, he will find another place to stay. With his strength, he will be valued in any sect he joins.

"But, Lord Abyss, forgive me for being blunt, if we can't even stay in Yu Country, I'm afraid we can't stay in the surrounding areas either." Lord Jiujiang said seriously, "In this area, the only country that can resist the attack of the Shi Country is Yu Country."

Luo Shen waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Just avoid the Food Kingdom for the time being."

What he needs now is time. Using time to exchange for space is what the Chinese are good at. As long as he breaks through to the Divine King realm, it will be a piece of cake to control the Food Kingdom.

Although Marquis Jiujiang had some doubts in his heart, as a newly joined marquis who had not yet gained Luo Shen's trust, how could he be qualified to ask questions in front of Luo Shen? Anyway, he had made up his mind that there was a future in following Luo Shen, so he might as well continue to follow him.

If the situation is not good, collapse, sell and escape four times in a row.

Outside Huyang City.

The extremely fast-moving Food Country Army has already stationed outside the East City Gate, ready to attack at any time.

The reason why I haven't taken action yet.

The main reason was that the beautiful woman in the tent of the Great Sage Shading the Sun wanted to try to persuade them to surrender and meet Luo Shen, the new city lord. However, Luo Shen was not in the city at the moment, and all affairs were left to Mo Lixiao and Mo Limeng, so the other party's goal was destined to fail.

"It seems that the Abyss God is not in the city at the moment."

The beautiful woman guessed the truth after just one test: "I was planning to have some fun with this young city lord, but in the end I couldn't even see his shadow. He really didn't give me face."

"Shading Sun, how is the matter I asked you to investigate going?"

The beautiful woman looked at the Sunshade Great Sage who was sitting quietly beside her. Seeing him with his arms around his chest, she immediately guessed what he was thinking: "Are you jealous already? If you are so petty, then I will have to find someone else."

Throw a tantrum in front of her and see if she will tolerate it.

Hearing the beautiful woman's words, the Sunshade Saint, who had been pretending to be aloof, could no longer pretend and said hurriedly, "No, no, no, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have ignored you."

Fortunately, the beautiful woman did not intend to pursue the matter, but asked the question again.

The Great Sage of Shading the Sun was afraid that the other party would get impatient, so he quickly told him all the information he had found out: "I have already inquired through the intelligence department of the Food Nation. There has never been an Eternal True God named Abyss in the surrounding small countries. I have even investigated the more outstanding Void True Gods and Eternal True Gods before, and they are still in their respective activity areas and have not left."

"I don't know where this Abyss Lord came from."

The Great Sage Shading the Sun grumbled with some dissatisfaction: "According to me, we should just capture Huyang City. If the Lord of the Abyss comes back, we can capture him and then everything will be revealed. Now surrounding the city without fighting is a torture to the spirit of the soldiers."

Both attacking and defending a city requires technical skills.

For the main commanders, it was not a big deal. After all, they were strong and did not need to face the enemy's sneak attacks. But for the ordinary soldiers, the constant feeling of fear made them unable to sleep or eat.

Because you never know when the war will start.

"Have you found out the origins of the Chaos Sage in that city?"

The beautiful woman frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with the news about the Sunshade Great Sage. She didn't know what it meant that the news came out of nowhere.

Even for the strong ones who came to the Origin Continent from the original universe area, there was a growth path along the way. It was impossible that the Lord of the Abyss had already cultivated to the level of Eternal True God in the original universe area, so there was no trace of his previous growth.

How can this be?

The beautiful woman herself also went through the stage from the True God of the Void to the True God of Eternity.

Even though she was considered a genius, it took her thousands of years to accumulate enough in the Void True God stage and finally enter the Eternal True God level. If it were someone with average talent, it would take an unknown amount of time to practice.

The Great Sage of Shading Suns also saw the dissatisfaction of the beautiful woman, and hurriedly explained: "I swear, I have tried my best, and even asked the intelligence department to help verify it several times before I finally came to these conclusions."

"This Abyss God is really a bit weird."

The beautiful woman snorted coldly: "Evil, no matter how evil a person is, once he falls into my hands, I will make him know what cruelty is!"

Say it.

"Pass on my order. In one hour, the entire army will attack and capture Huyang City in one fell swoop!"

There were only two of them in the main tent, and it was obvious that the beautiful woman's order was directed to the Great Sage Zhayang. However, the Great Sage Zhayang was already accustomed to this way of getting along, so he directly took out the military order and transmitted the message to the general in command.

As the main force in the battle, the Chaos Great Sage is too powerful. Whether on the front battlefield or against the enemy's high-end combat forces, he is a very terrifying existence. Once they join the battle, the nature of the entire battle will change.

Therefore, generally speaking, the Chaos Saints on both sides will not choose to directly join the frontal battlefield.

Unless one side does not have a strong person of this level.

"When we face that strange Chaos Sage later, don't attack. I will do it myself to test his strength." The Sunshade Sage said to the beautiful woman, "It's rare to meet an opponent of the same level. I'm itching to fight."

But he didn't expect that the beautiful woman rolled her eyes at him and said, "You think too much. Even if you are beaten to death by the other party, I will not help you."

For a beautiful woman, the Sunshade Sage is just a toy. What if the toy breaks?
Just find another one.

Huyang City, on the east gate wall.

Mo Lixiao and Mo Limeng were standing on the city wall at this moment, looking at the Food Country Legion stationed not far away. Just by looking at it from afar, they could feel the majesty of the Food Country Legion. The terrifying aura and oppression made people feel palpitations.

"As expected of the Hundred Battles Legion, this kind of might is much stronger than our Huyang City Legion."

Mo Lixiao sighed.

Mo Limeng, who was standing by, was worried and sighed, "The Food Kingdom spent such a huge price, it definitely wouldn't be just for a Jiujiang Chaos State. It is estimated that most of the territory of the Yu Kingdom is now caught in the flames of war."

What he didn’t say was, can Huyang City really be defended?
"We are not the high-ranking officials of Yu State, nor do we have the ability to protect the entire Yu State. Being able to defend Huyang City is already our greatest limit." Seeing that Mo Limeng was a little depressed, Mo Lixiao said in a deep voice: "I am not sure of winning this battle!"

"If you see that things are hopeless, you should take your people and leave Huyang City."

Leaving Huyang City, leaving this large city where their people have been living for countless generations, and returning to their former clan land, although the days ahead will be harder, there will be no risk of breaking off the inheritance.

Mo Limeng shook his head when he heard this.

"A large number of soldiers from the Food Kingdom are buried in Huyang City, including the life of a Chaos Lord. Even if we want to leave, the soldiers from the Food Kingdom outside will not allow us to do so."

Mo Limeng saw it clearly: "If we can't defeat them, when the city is captured, it will be the day for us to be held accountable."

"Besides."

Mo Limeng smiled bitterly and said, "How many people do you think I can protect by myself from the thousands of troops of the Food Nation Army? Even you can't do it. I am far less powerful than you, so I can't do it."

"The only way is a bloody battle!"

"Fight them back! Frighten them! Only in this way can we survive." (End of this chapter)
