Chapter 1459: The Power To Devour The Heavens

Han Star.

As a sub-star of the Yunxing Galaxy, it is one of the few remaining planets since the sun disappeared and the Black Demons invaded.

Most of the planet is surrounded by vast, endless oceans, with extremely abundant resources. Even as life on other planets withers away, the cultivators of Han Star can still barely maintain their cultivation needs thanks to the spiritual herbs and treasures passed down through generations.

Thus, the hidden great clans and prominent immortal sects have not suffered the same devastating blows as other planets. Facing the Black Demon invasion, they still possess the strength to fight, and the stalemate has lasted for over a month.

After bloody battles, some prodigies have gradually broken through bottlenecks and emerged as leaders. Among them, Peng Tianbei, a young master from the ancient Deep Sea Clan, stands out with the highest talent. At a young age, he has already awakened his divine abilities and led his people to repeated victories in counterattacks. After several battles, he has slain nearly a hundred Black Demons, obtaining many remnants of spiritual treasures, refining and absorbing them to greatly enhance his cultivation.

Under his leadership, subtle changes have begun to appear in the war against the darkness, and the stalemate seems on the verge of breaking.

At this very moment.

A bloody battle is taking place in the North Sea of Han Star. Peng Tianbei is leading a dozen elite clansmen against the Black Demons. Although his clansmen's cultivation is slightly inferior, and some have been killed by the Black Demons' self-destruction, Peng Tianbei is exceptionally brave. He has repeatedly dodged certain-death explosions and continues to unleash his supreme divine abilities to counterattack.

As the battle reaches its climax, the clash between the two sides shakes the heavens and the earth, with thousand-zhang waves rising on the sea surface.

A round-faced man, however, quietly appears on the sea surface, calmly watching the distant battle with his hands behind his back. No matter how terrifying the shockwaves are, they cannot affect him in the slightest.

His indifferent expression remains unchanged.

The horrifying bloodshed, in his starry eyes, seems nothing more than a trivial game.

Until Peng Tianbei is pushed to the brink, seeing his clansmen fall one by one, he activates his bloodline divine ability, and a ten-thousand-zhang divine manifestation appears behind him!

"Fury of the Vast Sea!"

With a roar, the colossal shadow transforms into a torrential sea current, forcibly submerging several dark figures. The terrifying divine power devours the life force of those shadows, finally annihilating over a dozen Black Demons in one fell swoop!

Peng Tianbei is also greatly exhausted, collapsing on the shore. However, the fighting spirit in his eyes has not diminished in the slightest, and his aura has risen to a new level. It seems that after the life-and-death crisis, his understanding of divine abilities has deepened.

Having witnessed the entire scene, the round-faced man finally nods slightly.

"Hmm."

"This little guy does have some talent. He's barely worth cultivating."

As soon as the words fall.

The round-faced man appears before Peng Tianbei, looking down with a smile.

"Kid, your divine abilities have reached a minor achievement, but you're still far from reaching a higher level. You can't unleash their full potential yet. Would you like some guidance from me?"

As the laughter fades, Peng Tianbei is startled.

Only now does he notice that a stranger has appeared before him, boldly offering to teach him divine abilities.

Even though the newcomer seems to possess considerable cultivation, Peng Tianbei is not the least bit intimidated!

After consecutive victories against numerous Black Demons, his fame and confidence have soared to unprecedented heights. The pride of being the top genius of the ancient clan does not allow him to be easily belittled.

He scrutinizes the newcomer with a deep gaze, then proudly clasps his fists and responds.

"Sir!"

"Since you don't seem to be an ally of the Black Demons, naturally, we have no reason to be enemies."

"However, I, Peng Tianbei, am no ordinary person. In terms of divine ability mastery, among the younger generation of Han Star, no one can match me. For you to offer guidance so casually, are you joking?"

As he speaks, his confidence grows. Peng Tianbei stands tall, recounting his glorious achievements.

"To be honest."

"Since the Black Demons invaded, I have led my people in resistance, slaying over a hundred Black Demons in battles large and small. Every cultivator on Han Star respects me!"

"Since you don't seem to be from Han Star, it's understandable that you don't know of my reputation. But your presumptuous offer of guidance is quite arrogant. How many Black Demons have you slain?"

"Why don't you share your own accomplishments, so I can gauge your worth. I'd like to hear just how much weight your words carry!"

The young man's face is full of pride, his eyes shining with confidence.

Seeing this, the round-faced man smiles faintly, not immediately responding, as if engaging in a playful debate.

With a casual wave of his hand, the coastline beneath their feet transforms into a sea of stars!

Instantly.

Peng Tianbei is greatly shocked, his eyes trembling as he gazes at the surrounding starry expanse.

To casually tear through space and reach the stars—such a method is unheard of. This newcomer is indeed extraordinary!

But he is no ordinary person either!

Even if he can't perform such a feat, tearing through the void to enter the starry sea is not beyond his capabilities!

After a brief moment of shock, Peng Tianbei's pride is slightly tempered, but his tone remains confident as he continues to probe.

"Sir, you do have some skills."

"However, if you think such a display is enough to pose as a senior offering guidance, you underestimate me. I, Peng Tianbei, am no fraud."

"Forgive my bluntness, but in these perilous times, combat power is what truly matters. Even if you possess spatial abilities, I, Peng Tianbei, though far inferior, have no interest in your guidance!"

Hearing this, the round-faced man's eyes sparkle with amusement, as if looking at a mischievous child.

As his gaze sweeps the surroundings, it eventually settles on a dim planet.

He speaks softly, then turns back to ask.

"Since you're so confident, do you think you can exterminate all the Black Demons occupying that planet?"

Peng Tianbei is taken aback.

Following the gaze, he extends his divine sense to carefully inspect the unfamiliar planet. It is not much smaller than Han Star, but it is dark and lifeless, devoid of any signs of life. Who knows how many Black Demons are entrenched there!

After a glance, Peng Tianbei's expression turns uneasy, his face flushing as he retorts.

"Sir, you jest!"

"That planet has been overrun by Black Demons, with at least tens of thousands of them occupying it. How could anyone possibly wipe out such a horde single-handedly!"

Peng Tianbei is indeed confident and knows he is extraordinary, but he is not blindly arrogant. He has a clear understanding of his own limits.

Facing a dozen Black Demons, he has some chance of victory. But against tens of thousands? Even a hundred of him would struggle to carve a path to survival!

For the newcomer to casually ask about exterminating an entire planet's worth of Black Demons—isn't that just nonsense?

Could there really be such a terrifying cultivator in the world?

Peng Tianbei naturally assumes the man is mocking him, his face red with anger as he glares back.

But the other remains unfazed.

The round-faced man extends a hand, gently waving it toward the distant planet, murmuring softly.

"Devour."

In the next moment.

A terrifying force, unlike anything Peng Tianbei has ever seen, engulfs the entire planet!

Before he can react.

The once-dim planet regains a semblance of clarity, appearing vastly different from before.

Could it be...?

A shocking conjecture flashes through Peng Tianbei's mind, his eyes trembling as he watches.

He quickly extends his divine sense, but can no longer detect any trace of the Black Demons!

Astonishment!

He is utterly dumbfounded!

With just a wave of the hand, the man has annihilated all the Black Demons on the planet. The sheer magnitude of that power is unimaginable, its might beyond comprehension!

What kind of ability is this?

To effortlessly devour an entire planet's worth of Black Demons—this is truly the power to devour the heavens!

Peng Tianbei's hands begin to tremble. He is so shocked that he can't even speak.

The unprecedented scene before him completely shatters his understanding. The extraordinary confidence he had built up in recent times is instantly obliterated!

Only when a soft chuckle reaches his ears does he snap back to reality.

"How about it?"

Peng Tianbei feels as if struck by lightning, jolting back to awareness!

Turning to look at the round-faced man again, he now sees him as unfathomably profound. Even the man's plain features seem infinitely more appealing, radiating an extraordinary handsomeness.

A supreme expert!

This is a supreme expert the likes of which have never been seen in all of history!

At this moment, Peng Tianbei is overwhelmed with indescribable excitement, his eyes filled with reverence. Without hesitation, he respectfully bows and clasps his fists.

"Senior!"

"Your abilities have truly opened my eyes. Only now do I realize how shallow my understanding was. I am deeply ashamed of my earlier presumptuous words and beg for your forgiveness!"

Humbly and anxiously, Peng Tianbei waits with his head bowed, not daring to lift it, his demeanor extremely cautious.

After all.

Standing before him now is a being capable of annihilating countless Black Demons with a single gesture. In the presence of such an entity, he is less than an ant!

If he were to incur even the slightest displeasure, a mere wave of the hand could reduce him to ashes!

Seeing the sudden change in Peng Tianbei's demeanor, the round-faced man smiles faintly, showing no surprise. His expression remains as calm as when he first appeared, his tone still gentle.

"No matter."

"Ignorance is no crime. Now, do I qualify to guide you?"

Hearing this, Peng Tianbei looks up in awe, his eyes brimming with boundless joy!

He had been ignorant and impudent earlier, yet the senior shows no trace of resentment and even offers guidance. Such magnanimity truly befits his heaven-shaking cultivation. This is a true peerless expert!

The thought of being fortunate enough to receive guidance from such a senior fills Peng Tianbei with even greater honor. He immediately kneels and kowtows.

"I pay my respects to Master!"

"To have the privilege of meeting you today is the greatest honor of my life!"

But as soon as the words leave his mouth, the round-faced man waves his hand dismissively.

"Let's skip the 'Master' title."

"If you want to become my disciple, your talent isn't quite up to par. I can give you some pointers for a few days, though."

Hearing this, Peng Tianbei's eyes tremble, his body stiffening momentarily.

Indeed.

His talent isn't sufficient to become this senior's disciple!

Though he can't help feeling a twinge of regret, the mere thought of receiving guidance from such a figure fills him with immense honor. He dares not harbor any further delusions and immediately kowtows repeatedly in gratitude.

"Thank you, Senior! Thank you, Senior!"

Watching the young man's respectful demeanor, the round-faced man—Frog Benwei—smiles faintly, quietly letting out a small burp. His large eyes gaze into the endless cosmos, filled with anticipation.
