Capítulo 503: Chapter 503: I Stir, Keep Stirring, Stir Again
"Viewers, you can't imagine what it feels like to be here. The aura of these powerful warriors completely envelops me. They're ready to engage in a fierce battle with the monstrous beast."
"Once they slay the beast, I'll definitely piss on its head to express my anger. What do you think?"
The reporter, shouldering his camera, filmed the scene. He was already envisioning the best-case scenario, not even considering the possibility of the two Starry Sky realm warriors losing. Such was their confidence.
The Devourer Crocodile, hundreds of meters long, appeared monstrous in human eyes, its size reaching an extreme. However, compared to a truly adult Devourer Crocodile, this size was minuscule. Their name itself was a clue.
Devourer.
A being capable of swallowing stars.
Lei Ming and Jiao Long nodded to each other in agreement.
"Let's go."
Lei Ming swung his arms, and thunder condensed into two lightning swords. He soared into the sky, instantly appearing above the Devourer Crocodile, and slashed downwards. The lightning swords clashed against the scales on the creature's back, sparks flying. The impact made Lei Ming's arms tremble, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes. He couldn't break through the Devourer Crocodile's defenses.
The Devourer Crocodile roared. Though its defenses held, the intense pain sent it into a rage.
Jiao Long growled, his arms thick and strong, black armor appearing on his fingers. He fiercely bombarded the Devourer Crocodile's back. Each punch created a terrifying shockwave, shaking the earth.
The reporter, even from a distance, felt the impact slap against his face like a sharp blade. It was intensely painful.
"Yes! Our heroes have launched the first attack! That combination of blows caused astonishing damage. Can you feel it, viewers at home?" The reporter, utterly astonished, could hardly believe what he was witnessing. The destructive power, the impact, it was all simply terrifying. He couldn't imagine what would happen if that power were directed at him. The very thought was frightening.
The battle raged on.
The one-eyed man watched the live broadcast with a grave expression. "This beast… is a bit frightening." Based on the situation, he knew he would be in dire straits if he faced it. This kind of beast would require the involvement of high-ranking Buddhist cultivators. But with its size, what good would restraint do? One stomp from its foot, and he'd be flattened into a meat patty.
They were all inhabitants of this planet and naturally didn't recognize a beast that lived in the depths of the cosmos. The one-eyed man simply considered this beast a crocodile, perhaps a mutated evil creature.
At the Alliance High Court, a group of Starry Sky realm experts from various clans also watched the broadcast. They disdained fighting for others or being commanded.
"That's a Devourer Crocodile," Mo Wu said, his face grim. "Does anyone have their contact information? Tell them to retreat immediately. They can't kill it."
"Senior Mo, isn't the Devourer Crocodile a beast from the depths of the starry sky? This one seems small, probably just born. What's the harm in killing it?" a young member of a Starry Sky clan asked. He had heard of Devourer Crocodiles. They were a powerful species. An adult Devourer Crocodile was truly terrifying, a being that only the ancestors of their clans could fight. But this little one? Why worry about it?
Mo Wu snapped, "Foolish! Utterly foolish! Think about why a Devourer Crocodile would appear here. An adult must have passed by this planet and hidden its egg within the planet's core, using the planet's power to incubate its offspring. A Devourer Crocodile hatchling can summon its adult. So, they can't kill it. Otherwise, you'll all die."
The young clan member, scolded by Mo Wu, felt resentful. Just because Mo Wu was powerful didn't give him the right to insult others. However, after hearing Mo Wu's explanation, everyone present became anxious. Such a thing was possible?
"The calls aren't going through."
"We can't reach them."
Many Starry Sky realm experts had the two warriors' contact information, but none of the calls connected.
Mo Wu and Jin Sheng, the elder of the Golden Clan, exchanged glances. They already knew the outcome. The situation was not optimistic.
Back in the United States, Lei Ming and Jiao Long coughed up blood. They fought with agility, gradually inflicting significant damage on the Devourer Crocodile, but they weren't unscathed. Their bodies were covered in wounds.
Before arriving, Lei Ming had envisioned striking stylish poses during the battle, broadcasting his heroic image. But now… there was no time for posing. Every dodge and attack had to be direct and effective. Any unnecessary movement would put them in greater danger.
"Even a hatchling is this terrifying. How terrifying would an adult be?" Lei Ming asked.
Jiao Long, panting heavily, his eyes sharp, replied, "Why worry about that? An adult Devourer Crocodile would see us as mere specks of dust."
"Its weak point is its belly."
"I'll blind its other eye. You seize the opportunity to deliver the fatal blow."
"Alright."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Ming leaped into the air, spinning. The Devourer Crocodile's massive tail swept towards him. A sneer appeared on Lei Ming's face. He used a secret technique, his body instantly disappearing and reappearing in front of the Devourer Crocodile's head. He raised his arms, roared, and plunged his twin swords into the beast's eye.
"Roar!"
Miserable screams resounded throughout the world.
The Devourer Crocodile thrashed its massive body, unable to bear the excruciating pain. Lei Ming gripped his swords tightly, a crazed look on his face.
"You're finished. You're just born and you have to say goodbye to this world. Aren't you unwilling?"
Jiao Long saw the Devourer Crocodile's exposed belly and seized the opportunity. He stepped forward, positioned himself beneath the belly, and punched upwards with a roar.
This was the Devourer Crocodile's most vulnerable spot. But only in hatchlings. An adult Devourer Crocodile would have refined this area, leaving no weaknesses. To injure an adult, one would need overwhelming force.
The Devourer Crocodile shrieked in agony after the heavy blow.
And at that moment, a shocking scene unfolded.
As if sensing its impending death, the hatchling Devourer Crocodile's internal bone spikes erupted through its skin, aiming to pierce any nearby enemies. A clear act of mutual destruction.
Lei Ming, who was gleefully twisting his swords in the Devourer Crocodile's eye, saw its pain and stirred even more enthusiastically, as if trying to churn out its brains.
"Holy shit!"
Lei Ming's face paled in shock. The bone spikes appeared without warning, piercing his body before he could react. However, for a Starry Sky realm warrior, such injuries were far from fatal. Did this beast underestimate them?
Lei Ming swiftly sliced through the impaling bone spikes and retreated, landing near some rubble. His face pale, he pulled out the remaining spikes, each one leaving a bloody hole. Blood gushed out, staining the ground crimson.
"What a vicious little bastard," Lei Ming cursed. Weakened and severely injured, he was no longer capable of fighting. He had nearly died. If not for his fortunate positioning, things would have been much worse.
Lei Ming searched for Jiao Long.
Soon, his pupils constricted.
"He died horribly."
Jiao Long, having attacked the Devourer Crocodile's belly, had nowhere to dodge. Countless bone spikes erupted, turning him into a porcupine, dead beyond a doubt.
"No need to share the spoils of war. Not bad at all," Lei Ming chuckled. Perhaps due to his excitement, he began coughing, spitting up blood.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound echoed.
Lei Ming's expression changed drastically, as if he had seen a ghost. Could it be that it wasn't dead yet?
The impaled Devourer Crocodile was still alive, but not for long.
"Damn it!"
"I can't fight anymore."
Lei Ming's face was grim. If the Devourer Crocodile stomped on him, he would surely die.
But what he feared didn't happen. The Devourer Crocodile didn't attack him.
What was it doing? Catching its breath? Recovering its strength?
Lei Ming thought for a moment. Regardless, he had to kill the Devourer Crocodile preemptively. Even in his weakened state, he could find a way.
Suddenly, the Devourer Crocodile mustered its remaining strength and let out a mournful roar towards the sky. The sound waves resonated, filled with sorrow and a strange penetrating power.
The roaring continued without pause.
Lei Ming couldn't understand the Devourer Crocodile's actions. Why waste its energy roaring instead of fighting him?
The sound was strange. Gloomy, angry… a mix of negative emotions. It made his heart pound with unease.
A terrifying power began to condense within the Devourer Crocodile, its belly turning red. It was the gathering of primal energy.
"Oh no."
Lei Ming's eyes widened in horror, as if he had seen a ghost. Perhaps in the face of death, all beings possess a hidden, formidable power.
He fled frantically.
"Hero, what's happening?" The reporter, still filming, captured the hero's retreating figure and asked about the situation. After all, the beast was in such a state; it must be dying.
Lei Ming ignored the reporter. He was afraid that speaking would dissipate the remaining power within him. Only by running could he have a chance of survival.
Then, cracks appeared on the Devourer Crocodile's body as the internal power swelled, and a blinding light shone through.
BOOM!
A terrifying explosion rocked the world.
The shockwave swept across the land.
The reporter, still holding his camera, was instantly vaporized. The screens of everyone watching the live broadcast turned to static.
Everyone in the United States felt the intense tremor.
They went outside and looked towards the distance.
A gigantic mushroom cloud rose into the sky, visible for hundreds of miles.
Some knelt on the ground. Some wept. Some trembled in fear.
What had happened? Why?
At the Alliance High Court, Mo Wu turned and left with a grave expression.
Something bad was about to happen. Something very bad.
He prepared to leave. Perhaps an adult Devourer Crocodile truly was about to arrive.
