Chapter 1821 - 1818: Chaos Demon Emperor!
After secretly making up his mind, Li Chen didn’t hesitate and prepared to consume these celestial bodies.
Consider it a warm-up and an adaptation to the devouring process.
Li Chen didn’t directly choose the three major stars to devour but started with the planets.
Picking the soft fruit first!
This celestial body is no different.
Otherwise, if he starts with the stars, he might break his teeth.
The first planet Li Chen chose was a gas giant.
It was about the size of Jupiter, with 99% of its gases being oxygen.
After selecting the target, Li Chen began his oxygen absorption plan.
First, he stretched his body infinitely, expanding until he became a giant as tall as 108,000 miles.
Then, he precisely targeted the right position to start inhaling hard.
As a result, the unfortunate planet was directly inhaled into Li Chen’s body just like that.
Once the entire celestial body was fully absorbed into his body, Li Chen sealed it inside himself.
Subsequently, he activated his Source Power to ignite this celestial body.
"Boom!"
A gaseous giant planet comparable to Jupiter started burning inside Li Chen.
As the combustion continued, the entire planet slowly transformed into Li Chen’s own power within his body.
This is an absorption and transformation process!
"Swish!"
Once this gaseous planet was completely devoured and transformed by Li Chen, he took advantage of the opportunity to break through.
Reaching the Tribulation Crossing Fourth Realm!
Then, without any hesitation, Li Chen continued to select his devouring targets.
It was a liquid planet with a temperature reaching about minus one hundred degrees Celsius. However, it didn’t freeze.
Devouring it felt a bit like drinking iced water, with a hint of Sprite taste, very tangy and refreshing.
After devouring the Sprite planet, Li Chen looked at a planet with a charred black surface.
It was a solid planet, with the outer layer resembling chocolate.
Eating it was crunchy, and the taste was decent.
The only downside was that the surface was too hard, a bit tough on the teeth.
Next up was the third planet!
The fourth planet!
...
The one thousand eight hundred and sixty-fifth planet!
No one knew how long had passed, but nearly all the planets within ten light-years had been devoured by Li Chen.
Li Chen’s cultivation also smoothly reached the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Sixth Realm.
This breakthrough speed was even faster than he anticipated.
It seemed that if he could devour the final three stars, he could smoothly break through to the Tribulation Crossing Seventh Realm, or even the Eighth Realm.
As long as he reached the Eighth Realm, he would have at least a ninety percent chance of escaping unscathed under the joint siege of Yaochi Saint Mother, Emperor Zhuanxu, Western Buddha, and the other eight top-level powers.
By then, he could find a safe place to devour other celestial bodies as much as possible.
He believed that it wouldn’t take long to reach the peak realm again.
The day he returned to his peak would be the day of revenge.
Thinking of this, Li Chen felt the blood in his body boiling, burning.
Based on the principle of the old lady picking the soft persimmons first.
Li Chen first chose the smallest of the three stars to devour.
However, to Li Chen’s surprise, the Meteorite Heart within him suddenly started running rapidly for no known reason, forming a black hole vortex, intercepting all the constant star source power he had devoured.
This was something that had never happened before!
Li Chen calmed himself slightly and then devoured the second star.
The result was the same!
The third star, again the same.
This result greatly shocked Li Chen.
Because if he couldn’t break through to the Tribulation Crossing Seventh Realm.
Under the siege of Emperor Zhuanxu, Western Buddha, and Yaochi Saint Mother, there would be no chance of survival.
When Li Chen was extremely shocked, a swirling black mist suddenly emerged from the Meteorite Heart within him.
Subsequently, a grim-faced visage appeared from the swirling black mist.
Its hollow black eyes stared at Li Chen intently.
Being stared at made Li Chen’s heart shiver as he sternly asked, "Who are you?"
"Human, you are impressive, indeed worthy of being the host chosen by me, the Chaos Demon Emperor!"
Upon hearing the name "Chaos Demon Emperor," Li Chen couldn’t help but feel a jolt in his heart.
"Are you the Chaos Demon Emperor?"
The Chaos Demon Emperor nodded, replying, "That’s right, I am the Chaos Demon Emperor!"
Li Chen forcibly steadied his mind, sternly questioning, "Did you hijack the power of the stars I just devoured?"
The Chaos Demon Emperor did not deny this.
He let out a wicked laugh, saying, "You and I are one; why draw such clear lines?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chen coldly sneered.
"Heh, who is one with you, are you muddle-headed from sleeping too long?"
Facing Li Chen’s questioning, the Chaos Demon Emperor did not get angry.
"Now I reside within your body; you and I have a common enemy. Isn’t that enough?"
Hearing the Chaos Demon Emperor’s retort, Li Chen’s expression momentarily froze.
"What do you want then?"
The Chaos Demon Emperor said forcefully, "You and I will become one, kill all those annoying beings outside, destroy the entire world, and build a new universe. A universe that only the two of us can dominate!"
Upon hearing the Chaos Demon Emperor’s words, Li Chen couldn’t help but feel a sudden shock in his heart.
He had long heard of the Chaos Demon Emperor’s great ambition to destroy the entire universe and start from zero again.
But hearing it firsthand was still startling.
Seeing Li Chen seem hesitant, the Chaos Demon Emperor continued to persuade, "Human, trust me. I can not only help you seek revenge but also grant you the absolute power to dominate this universe!"
Li Chen contemplated for a moment and asked, "Collaboration is possible, but you know everything about me, while I know nothing about you. Don’t you think that’s quite unfair?"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, the Chaos Demon Emperor paused.
Immediately, he burst into laughter.
"Haha, fairness? You are the first to dare to talk fairness with me!"
With a piercing gaze, Li Chen retorted, "Am I also the first to dare to cooperate with you?"
The Chaos Demon Emperor paused slightly before bursting into cheerful laughter again.
"Indeed, you are the first to dare to collaborate with me. I greatly admire your courage. Tell me, what do you want to know?"
Li Chen thought for a moment and asked word by word, "Where are you from?"
The Chaos Demon Emperor replied, "The previous universe!"
Li Chen, surprised, pursued, "The previous universe?"
The Chaos Demon Emperor nodded, saying, "Indeed, the universe you now inhabit isn’t the original, primordial universe at birth. It was reformed after experiencing a great cataclysm!"
Hearing the Chaos Demon Emperor’s explanation, Li Chen seemed to understand something.
Soon, he raised another doubt.
"Since the original universe has already been destroyed, how did you survive until now?"
