Chapter 1417: Siege of the Boundary Beast

The Nine-Headed Demon Lord led this group of True Deities to arrive, each immediately spotting in the distance the tall, golden, imposing figure.

“Is that the Boundary Beast?” The Nine-Headed Demon Lord, Blood Orchid Ancestor, and others couldn’t afford to be careless for even a moment.

“Hahaha…”

The distant Boundary Beast emitted countless twisted rays from its entire body, penetrating into the void, while it laughed loudly, its laughter echoing throughout this expanse of emptiness.

“Are you the True Deities of the Cosmic Sea? You dare come here to kill me?” it mocked.

Meanwhile, the True Deities led by the Nine-Headed Demon Lord grew even more vigilant.

“Firefly Sovereign,” the Nine-Headed Demon Lord immediately transmitted his command, “you go first!”

Firefly Sovereign felt bitter inside but had no choice. After all, it was his own small universe’s origin that had been devoured.

“Boom!”

Firefly Sovereign immediately rode a warship, roaring forward toward the tall Boundary Beast in the distance.

“Boundary Beast, you dare to leave your nest and come out, even daring to devour my small universe. You’re really asking for death!” Firefly Sovereign roared furiously, his voice like thunder. At the same time, the warship transformed into a dazzling ray of light, directly crashing into the towering Boundary Beast, Molosha. Facing the impact of the warship, Molosha didn’t even try to dodge.

Peng!!!

The bow of the warship directly struck the body of Molosha, making its body appear to dent like rubber, then quickly rebounding and shaking off the warship.

“So you’re the one who devoured my small universe?” Molosha laughed mockingly, “Poor little delicacy, you don’t even dare to come out and fight me?”

“Firefly Sovereign!”

From afar, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord was furious and immediately transmitted a message through his communication talisman, “Why haven’t you attacked yet!”

They had sent Firefly Sovereign as the vanguard specifically to test the strength and weaknesses of this Boundary Beast. If he kept hiding inside the warship without coming out, although it was safe, they wouldn’t be able to gauge the enemy’s true capabilities.

This transmission immediately caused Firefly Sovereign to become both anxious and enraged. He looked at Molosha outside, practically seeing fire in his eyes! He was furious—this was all because of this Boundary Beast!

“Boundary Beast, you deserve to die!”

Firefly Sovereign suddenly roared furiously. In a flash, his long, winding body darted out of the warship. His body was long and sinuous, with hundreds of hooves, each one extremely sharp—natural weapons. He was also equipped with suitable divine treasures attuned to his form, sufficient to unleash his peak combat power.

Boom! Secret Art of Burning Divine Power!

Boom! A hazy white light enveloped the surrounding area—it was a domain-type supreme treasure!

“Die!” The Firefly Sovereign had completely lost control. At this moment, the surrounding void revealed a blurry, grotesque phantom, surging straight toward Molosha.

“Haha…”

However, Molosha burst into maniacal laughter. Suddenly, a violent and terrifying soul attack surged into Firefly Sovereign’s body in an instant. This overwhelming soul assault immediately forced Firefly Sovereign to let out a cry of agony, disrupting the attack he was in the midst of executing. Meanwhile, Molosha laughed wildly as dozens of arms abruptly sprouted from his body, slamming directly toward Firefly Sovereign. Despite his pained cries, Firefly Sovereign clenched his teeth and fought on relentlessly. Each of his hooves was a fearsome weapon, and every claw beam tore through the void with devastating force.

Peng! Peng! Peng!

Molosha’s arms and Firefly Sovereign’s hooves collided repeatedly, locked in a frenzied battle.

…

“Hmph?” observed the Nine-Headed Demon Lord from afar, “Is Firefly Sovereign only slightly at a disadvantage?”

“Firefly Sovereign is considered average among the True Deities of our Cosmic Sea. Unexpectedly, the gap doesn’t seem that large,” other True Deities began transmitting messages to each other.

“It’s not surprising. Originally, the Will of the Primordial Universe arranged for True Deities to battle Boundary Beasts. Although Firefly Sovereign doesn’t possess mechanical-stream treasures, he does have soul-type supreme treasures, armor-type, domain-type, and so on. In close combat, he’s significantly stronger than the Pupil Demon God. Moreover, the Pupil Demon God and Illusion-Heart Sovereign were attacked by three Boundary Beasts at once. Now we’re only facing a single one.”

“Right, and within their nests, the Boundary Beasts devour each other, so they must vary in strength. This escaped Boundary Beast is likely one of the weaker ones.”

The True Deities felt somewhat relieved.

Of course, deep within their hearts, they still maintained a sliver of caution.

“How are you doing, Firefly Sovereign?” the Nine-Headed Demon Lord transmitted.

At this moment, with the domain-type supreme treasure’s influence spreading, communication was effortless.

“Haha, Lord Demon,” Firefly Sovereign sounded excited, “As soon as I engaged it in battle, the speed at which it devoured the origin of my small universe immediately dropped drastically, nearly to the point of being negligible. Obviously, devouring a small universe’s origin requires its full concentration. Once distracted by fighting me, it can no longer continue devouring. Moreover, its strength is slightly greater than mine, probably comparable to Blood Orchid Ancestor’s! However, its soul attacks are extremely oppressive to me… and during our battle, the force it emits constantly drains my divine power, something I can’t block at all.”

“There’s more. While fighting me, its own strength is also being consumed, just like our divine power. I estimate that once its reserves are depleted, it will perish too. I just don’t know exactly how much of that power it possesses.”

After receiving this information, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord pondered briefly.

He was one of the Eight Overlords.

In theory, even in the later stages when facing the strongest Boundary Beasts, he should still be able to hold out for a while. Otherwise, the Will of the Primordial Universe wouldn’t have made them fight in the first place.

“All of you, attack together!” the Nine-Headed Demon Lord transmitted his command, “All True Deities, act in unison. Don’t charge recklessly; fight in coordination and eliminate this Boundary Beast in one fell swoop.”

“Alright.”

“Act together.”

Upon hearing the command, the other True Deities didn’t resist. With so many of them acting together, naturally there was no fear. After all, Illusion-Heart Sovereign and Pupil Demon God had acted together before. There were so many of them now… including the Nine-Headed Demon Lord. What was there to fear?

“Kill!”

“Kill this Boundary Beast!”

Instantly, the eight True Deities, including the Nine-Headed Demon Lord, transformed into streaks of light rushing forward. When Firefly Sovereign, locked in fierce combat with Molosha in the distance, saw this, he was overjoyed: “Let’s join forces and kill this Boundary Beast!”

…

A hazy white-glowing gate emerged in the void, gradually opening. A black thread instantly shot out from the gate, reaching Molosha’s vicinity in the blink of an eye.

“Chi chi chi~~~” Two streaks of golden light also emerged in the void, intertwining like a pair of scissors, severing everything in their path as they shot straight toward Molosha.

Numerous blood-red flowers materialized out of thin air, each one flying toward Molosha, enveloping him.

Invisible soul attacks also descended upon him.

…

In an instant, as each True Deity flew forward, they began launching long-range attacks against Molosha.

“Ahhh~~~” Instantly struck by multiple attacks from the True Deities, Molosha let out a painful scream. Even the golden armor formed from his condensed energy seemed to be corroded, forming bubbles across its surface. His own power furiously resisted these divine forces, clashing and annihilating them.

Molosha swiftly surveyed his surroundings. First, he forcefully shoved aside the entangled Firefly Sovereign, then bellowed in fury, “You’ve enraged me. Prey should know its place.”

“Kill it!”

“Kill!”

The True Deities paid no heed to Molosha’s words. Naturally, they wouldn’t truly believe this Boundary Beast was foolish—an existence born destined for destruction must never be underestimated. They all had to give their utmost effort in attacking. Only the ‘Nine-Headed Demon Lord’ observed silently, not yet unleashing his attack.

“Die.”

“Boundary Beast, you should just die,” the True Deities surrounded Molosha and began employing their techniques.

The most dazzling among them was the Blood Orchid Ancestor.

Her divine form was towering, releasing countless vines, each adorned with black glowing streams—mechanical-stream treasures she had specially acquired in the Jin World to complement her techniques. The black-glowing vines rapidly extended outward, wildly entangling toward Molosha.

Whether close combat, long-range attacks, or binding techniques…

Surrounded by a group of True Deities, Molosha began to feel the pressure.

“Still trying to hide your strength, luring these True Deities over. I didn’t expect the others to be this strong,” Molosha was somewhat startled under the assault, as Blood Orchid Ancestor and others were clearly two or three tiers stronger than Firefly Sovereign.

Instantly, Molosha was pushed to the brink.

Eight True Deities surrounded him.

The strongest, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord, was still observing the Boundary Beast.

“It’s indeed very powerful, barely at a slight disadvantage even when surrounded by eight True Deities. Compared to the Eight Overlords of our Cosmic Sea… it’s only slightly weaker,” the Nine-Headed Demon Lord marveled, “If this Boundary Beast continues to grow stronger, in the future, aside from Luo Feng, none of us might be able to handle them anymore.”

“Kill it first.”

After observing for a while, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord finally unleashed his technique.

“Roar!!!”

The Nine-Headed Demon Lord let out simultaneous roars from all nine of its heads, each bearing a distinct visage and emitting bizarre, discordant cries. In an instant, distorted passageways materialized in the void—nine intertwined tunnels forming a sinister pattern that descended directly upon the Boundary Beast, Molosha.

“Die,” after roaring, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord’s entire body instantly radiated light, turning completely purple—his mechanical-stream treasure activating.

The eerie pattern formed by the nine twisted channels descended.

This finally drove Molosha into a frenzy.

He suddenly lifted his head.

Opened his mouth!

The silent scream pierced straight into the souls of every attacking True Deity without a sound. Even the Nine-Headed Demon Lord, who was poised to charge, momentarily froze in place. The other eight True Deities all contorted in agony. Though enduring excruciating pain, six of them still managed to barely muster attacks, while the remaining two were utterly overwhelmed—writhing in helpless screams, completely incapacitated from striking.

“Food should remain food,” Molosha glared fixedly at Firefly Sovereign.

Whoosh! The previously extended curves radiating from Molosha’s body toward the void suddenly redirected, with the majority of them wildly entwining toward Firefly Sovereign. In an instant, massive curves enveloped him, transforming Firefly Sovereign into a cocoon.
