Slaying a King-level Devouring Race? For the younger generation, this was simply a pipe dream, an impossible feat.
But in Jun Xiaoyao's dictionary, there was no such thing as impossible.
One should know that even when fighting against the three self-sacrificing Quasi-Emperors of the Ba Clan, Jun Xiaoyao had not revealed all his trump cards.
In other words, the three self-sacrificing Quasi-Emperors of the Ba Clan were far from pushing Jun Xiaoyao to his true limit!
Jun Xiaoyao himself was curious.
Where exactly was his limit?
This experience of hunting the Devouring Race might be a good opportunity.
Subsequently, the entire Three Emperors Barrier began to operate.
Not only Prodigies, but also many Town Boundary Army soldiers began to take action.
Their armor was chilling, and their weapons gleamed.
After getting organized, the Town Boundary Army and a group of Prodigies set off.
They were teleported via a transmission array to the edge of the No Man's Land, then entered the Great Barren Zone.
They advanced towards their destination, the Shattered Star River.
Compared to the Star Corpse Land where the Demon Tide previously appeared, the Shattered Star River was even deeper into the No Man's Land.
It even extended to the boundary between the White Mist Zone and the Gray Mist Zone.
During their journey, the Town Boundary Army encountered more than one attack from Undead Fiends.
But they were all easily resolved.
After an unknown amount of time, Jun Xiaoyao saw in the starry sky ahead.
There was a vast silver river flowing, with billions of stars twinkling within it.
At the same time, there were also Void Fissures, some containing towering mountains, some with surging waves, and some with profound darkness.
It was as if these Void Fissures led to different worlds.
"Young Master, the space in this Shattered Star River is extremely unstable, and some fissures lead to many ancient, ruined worlds."
"Many of them are the remnants of worlds left behind after the Ancient Black Calamity's destruction."
Beside him, Lu Xingling explained to Jun Xiaoyao.
Lu Xingling and the Seventy-Two Squad also came on this expedition.
She happened to want to use the Devouring Race to test the power of her new battle formation.
Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly upon hearing this.
This was similar to the Dimensional Starry Sky, where the Three Saints Space was located before.
A flash of inspiration suddenly struck Jun Xiaoyao's mind.
Could the appearance of the Devouring Race this time be related to certain ruins?
Jun Xiaoyao kept his thoughts to himself.
Next, the team continued to advance.
After entering the Shattered Star River, the Town Boundary Army was clearly more vigilant, focusing their minds and daring not to be careless in the slightest.
After an unknown period, everyone suddenly heard a rustling sound from afar.
It was a grating and unsettling sound, like sandpaper rubbing together.
"Everyone, prepare for battle!"
A Town Boundary Army commander ordered.
And some Prodigies following the Town Boundary Army cast their gazes afar.
They saw a dense black tide surging from the dark starry sky in the distance.
Upon closer inspection, it was not a tide, but a colossal black tide composed of countless Devouring Race members.
Jun Xiaoyao also looked over.
Those Devouring Race members should be the lowest-level Slave-level Devourers, unable to even take human form.
Their bodies were covered in hard exoskeletons, resembling spiders, with eight sharp, scimitar-like claws.
Before their departure, the elder had briefly explained to them.
The Physical Body of the Devouring Race was also extremely hard; some powerful Devouring Race members could even directly refine their exoskeletons into armor-like existences.
At the same time, they possessed immense strength.
Some powerful Devouring Race members could use their sharp claws to easily tear apart some low-level supreme artifacts, as if cutting tofu.
Therefore, the Devouring Race was a Black Calamity Race that could not be underestimated.
Of course, the black tide that appeared at present was only composed of the lowest-level Slave-level Devourers.
However, some Soldier-level Devourers were mixed in.
Most Soldier-level Devourers possessed the power of the Saint Realm; although not comparable to the Supreme, they were extremely troublesome.
Moreover, these Soldier-level Devourers already possessed the ability to take human form.
Their appearance was similar to humans, but their bodies were covered in dark armor.
Some had four eyes, or tentacles growing on their foreheads.
Suddenly, a Soldier-level Devourer among the Devouring Race looked towards the Town Boundary Army with its four eyes, then let out a long howl.
This howl seemed to carry a special sound wave, transmitting information.
Immediately, the entire Devouring Race army became agitated.
They began to surge and attack towards the Town Boundary Army!
"Kill!"
The commander on the Town Boundary Army's side also waved his hand.
Squads of Town Boundary Army soldiers and Prodigies also charged out.
Immediately, this Shattered Star River turned into a battlefield of blood and fire.
Although some Prodigies were facing the Devouring Race for the first time, perhaps because they were all Slave-level and Soldier-level Devourers, there were no casualties.
The Town Boundary Army's frontline steadily advanced, like a meat grinder, crushing all the Devouring Race members surging like a tide into dust.
Seeing this scene, the Prodigies present felt somewhat invigorated.
The Devouring Race was nothing more than this; they were not as troublesome as they had imagined.
However, Jun Xiaoyao frowned slightly, showing no joy.
Although these Devouring Race members posed little threat, there was one problem: their numbers were too vast.
And they were almost endless.
In the distance, countless more Devouring Race members, stretching as far as the eye could see, surged forward relentlessly.
"No wonder that Senior said before that the number of Devouring Race members is absolutely unparalleled among the Black Calamity Race."
"These Slave-level Devourers are basically cannon fodder used to deplete combat power."
"Even Soldier-level Devourers are just slightly stronger cannon fodder."
Jun Xiaoyao did not relax.
Because he knew that the Devouring Race was different from the Ba Clan.
Their tactics were simple and brutal.
They would simply overwhelm people with sheer numbers.
As expected, as time passed, the Prodigies discovered something.
That was, the current number of Devouring Race members was the same as when they started, with no signs of decreasing.
In the distance, Devouring Race creatures, like a tide, surged forward incessantly.
"This… are we encountering a Devouring Race army?"
One Prodigy was somewhat stunned.
A Town Boundary Army commander frowned and said, "This shouldn't count as a full army yet. A Devouring Race army must at least be led by a General-level Devourer."
"In other words, this should only be a small wave of Devouring Race members."
"What, this counts as a small wave?"
Some Prodigies were incredibly astonished, they had still underestimated the sheer numbers of the Devouring Race.
"If a true Devouring Race army attacks, an entire world would be filled, with Devouring Race members everywhere, above and below," another Town Boundary Army commander said.
And now, as time passed, the number of Devouring Race members showed no signs of decreasing.
However, many Cultivators on the Town Boundary Army's side were already starting to feel exhausted.
They also needed time to recover their Dharma power.
Not everyone was like Jun Xiaoyao, possessing the Innate Congenital Holy Body Dao Embryo, whose Dharma power seemed inexhaustible.
And in this great battle, Lu Xingling's performance was extremely dazzling.
She used the new battle formation, combining the power of the Seventy-Two Squad, to charge in and out of the surging tide of Devouring Race members.
This reminded Jun Xiaoyao of something.
Once, the Human Emperor Guard, established under Emperor Ancient King Xuanyuan, had once cut through the Devouring Race army, famous for its ferocious numbers.
If Lu Xingling were to lead the Human Emperor Guard to form a battle formation, their combat power should be something to look forward to.
Moreover, Jun Xiaoyao had also signed in for the xuanyuan token, giving him the authority to command the Five Tiger Generals and the Human Emperor Guard.
Therefore, Jun Xiaoyao planned that after his wager with Hongchen Emperor Son concluded, he should temporarily leave the Three Emperors Barrier to search for the whereabouts of the Five Tiger Generals and the Human Emperor Guard.
This was related to his plan, and he absolutely had to grasp this combat power in his hands.
