Chapter 823: Devourer
The pocket universe formed by the Sky-Stealing Sun-Shifting Art wasnât as complicated as the Endless Sea of Stars. It lacked a portion of the details, but the general outline was the same.
Zhou Wen explored the Endless Sea of Stars as he grinded. Through his observations of the Endless Sea of Stars, he gained insight into the profundity of the Sky-Stealing Sun-Shifting Art.
Since Zhou Wen wanted to search for Astral Combat Beasts in the Endless Sea of Stars, it wasnât considered a waste of time.
He had been too busy recently, so Zhou Wen didnât have the time to grind the Lunar Mansion skills and Astral Combat Beasts. The twenty-eight Lunar Mansion Skills were still lacking three key skills, so the Star Stealerâs Essence Energy Skill Crystal hadnât dropped.
Now was the perfect opportunity to explore the Endless Sea of Stars and find Astral Combat Beasts.
Zhou Wen roamed the Endless Sea of Stars and watched the stellar transposition. Every time he gained some insight, the tiny universe in his body would become more similar to the Endless Sea of Stars.
Zhou Wen had a vague feeling that when his pocket universe became identical to the Endless Sea of Stars, it would be the time he condensed his Life Providence.
The Endless Sea of Stars wasnât just limited to the twenty-eight Lunar Mansions. Outside the twenty-eight Lunar Mansions covered a large area. Zhou Wen killed countless Astral Beasts along the way, but he didnât find any Astral Combat Beasts.
In fact, there were very few Mythical Astral Beasts. Most of them were between the Mortal and Epic stage.
Just as he was feeling puzzled, he suddenly saw something flash in the cosmos ahead.
When Zhou Wen focused, he didnât discover anything.
Were my eyes playing tricks on me?
Zhou Wen took a closer look and still didnât discover anything. He couldnât help but find it odd.
Suddenly, something flashed in the cosmos. Zhou Wen only saw a flash, but he didnât see what it was.
However, when Zhou Wen looked carefully at the spot where the figure was flickering, he immediately felt his scalp tingle. This was because a planet that was originally there had vanished. When he confirmed that there was nothing there, he clearly saw a planet.
Devourer!
Zhou Wen immediately thought of something.
Previously, when he had gone to the Endless Sea of Stars in real life, Zhou Wen had seen a Devourer. However, the Devourer back then looked like a jellyfish in a lake. It ate planets like eating candy, so it didnât feel too shocking.
However, now that he was in the Endless Sea of Stars, it was somewhat different. Although the planet was much smaller than the planets in real life, it was still as huge as a mountain. It was truly shocking to see it disappear.
What was even more terrifying was that Zhou Wen didnât see the Devourer in-game. He only saw something flash when it devoured the planet.
Zhou Wen summoned Tyrant Behemoth and raised Truth Listenerâs ability to its limits to monitor the nearby area.
Soon, he realized that a nearby planet had been devoured, and he finally saw the Devourer.
With Truth Listenerâs ability, Zhou Wen outlined the appearance of the Devourer in his mind, but he still couldnât see it with his eyes.
It was similar to what Zhou Wen had seen in real lifeâa transparent jellyfish-like monster. However, its size was far more exaggerated in-game. It directly swallowed the entire planet; the smaller planets in the Endless Sea of Stars were about the size of a bean.
This body is much bigger than Tyrant Behemoth after its transformation!
When Zhou Wen looked at it, the Devourer had already wandered over.
Zhou Wen ordered the gigantic Tyrant Behemoth to charge forward, hoping to see how powerful the Devourer was.
After receiving Zhou Wenâs order, Tyrant Behemoth activated Absolute Strength and pounced over.
The Devourer was really like a jellyfish. The countless tentacles below shook as its body rose at an unbelievable speed, dodging Tyrant Behemothâs attacks.
After Tyrant Behemoth struck, it didnât continue pursuing. It stood there in a daze.
Zhou Wen immediately understood. He could see the Devourer with Truth Listener, but Tyrant Behemoth couldnât. It naturally couldnât attack enemies it couldnât see.
Zhou Wen commanded Tyrant Behemoth to fight, but Tyrant Behemoth relied on its instincts to fight. With Zhou Wen commanding it, there was a delay.
Before long, the Devourer swallowed Tyrant Behemothâs body.
It was unknown what the Devourerâs body was made of. Tyrant Behemoth, which possessed Absolute Strength, failed to escape after being swallowed.
This is really troublesome. Tyrant Behemoth canât see it, so itâs disadvantageous in battle. Furthermore, if it canât be seen, Torch Dragonâs Bright Torch Vision World will be useless. Iâll probably have to rely on Truth Listener to kill the Devourer.
Zhou Wen summoned the Golden Overlord Sword and relied on Truth Listenerâs ability to lock onto the Devourerâs position. He gathered all his strength and used Immortal Slaying to slash at the Devourer without holding back.
However, in the next second, Zhou Wen felt the blood-colored avatarâs body sink into a vortex before the phone screen went black.
GAME OVER!
Devourer is amazing. Tyrant Behemoth and Torch Dragon probably canât do anything about it. The only one who can fight it is probably Truth Listener.
Zhou Wen thought for a moment and realized that he didnât have a good solution to deal with the Devourer.
However, the danger of Truth Listener removing multiple earrings was too high. If it only removed one or two, it probably wouldnât be enough to kill the Devourer.
He once again entered the Endless Sea of Stars. This time, Zhou Wen circled around the area. He couldnât think of a way to kill the Devourer for the moment, so he ignored it and strolled through the Endless Sea of Stars to condense the Life Providence of the Sky-Stealing Sun-Shifting Art.
However, the Devourerâs whereabouts was unpredictable. Zhou Wen had already circled around it, but to his surprise, it would appear in different star systems. Every time Zhou Wen wanted to escape, he was devoured by its black hole-like power.
The only time Zhou Wen ran away was when he used the long-distance teleportation skill of Civilized Country to reach a spot where the Devourer couldnât see him. However, he was eventually found and killed by the Devourer.
At first, Zhou Wen imagined that it was a problem with the respawning of the game. Every time he respawned the Devourer would be in a different star system, but with repeated dying, Zhou Wen began to suspect something.
Every time I enter the Endless Sea of Stars, as long as I leave the twenty-eight Lunar Mansions, I will encounter it at about the same time. This definitely isnât as simple as a random respawn. Could it be that the Devourer has the ability to teleport?
Zhou Wen was pleasantly surprised when he thought of this possibility.
He didnât have much hope of obtaining the Mystic Bird. If the Devourer also had spatial teleportation abilities, he could attempt to kill it. If a Companion Egg dropped, perhaps the problem of advancing Civilized Country would be resolved.
