Swallowed Star - Chapter 1456. The Most Powerful
Luo Feng followed his first plan and proceeded toward Beddy’s location.
“Beddy!”
In Land of Darkness, a Sector Beast was fleeing in a hurry. As it fled, it roared furiously, “You’re already at pinnacle level four, and there are several Sector Beasts in our hive who are already at level four. Why don’t you go fight Qi Ya and Mo He? One of them is stronger than 100 of us. If you waste your time chasing us, Mo He and the others will only become stronger, and if they reach level five before you, they’ll definitely eat you.”
Another Sector Beast was chasing it at high speed, and both the singular eyes on its heads were gleaming belligerently. It said, “You’re not qualified to tell me what to do, Ka Qiong.”
Sou!
Sector Beast Beddy kept speeding up, moving much faster than the one in front of it. Beddy knew that after it had decided to hunt Sector Beasts, it had lost control over the hive. Some of the other top-tier Sector Beasts were beyond its control. If Beddy still acted as it had before and only targeted the powerful Sector Beasts, they wouldn’t even have a chance to improve themselves.
The previous strategy had been simple and would have taken him a long time. The threat from Milky Way Horde Leader Luo Feng had forced Beddy to speed things up. It had to keep swallowing other Sector Beasts to become stronger.
“I’m stronger than Mo He and the others. I keep swallowing and keep evolving. I was the strongest before, and I’ll be the strongest forever.” Both the singular eyes of Beddy were glinting with madness as it almost managed to slash the Sector Beast in front of it.
Peng!
The fleeing Sector Beast separated its body into 99 parts, and they all fled in different directions. This was a fight between two Sector Beasts, so its survival skill, “Sector Light Passageway,” would be interrupted by Beddy; it couldn’t be formed, which was why it didn’t bother to perform that technique. Even if it was actually able to perform it, it would have been much weaker and would have died even more tragically in the hive.
Weng!
Traces of dimming, colorful light burst out of Beddy’s body. The colorful light enveloped space and time. It was the Sector Light Passageway of a level-four Sector Beast. A mighty binding power trapped all 99 bodies as if they were ensnared in a swamp. Their bodies immediately slowed down.
Peng!
Beddy divided his body into 99 parts as well, charging at the 99 bodies of his enemies. All 99 bodies bit through their enemies.
“Beddy!” All the bodies of the fleeing Sector Beast disappeared, and they converged to form the original body.
“Die, Ka Qiong!” The 99 bodies of Beddy also vanished and condensed into its original body.
They were fighting each other, gnashing and rolling everywhere in the Land of Darkness, battling like mad. Their flesh split open, and dark blood burst out.
Beddy was at pinnacle level four while Ka Qiong was only at level three. Beddy also had Sector Light Passageway to help him, so Beddy was crushing Ka Qiong.
Chi!
A bloody light surrounded the claw, which pierced through Ka Qiong’s chest instantly. A giant hole appeared on Ka Qiong’s chest as it lost its sector. Its body trembled, and it lost all ability to resist.
“You’ll die, Beddy! You will!” Ka Qiong glared at Beddy with both its singular eyes. “You’re fighting us instead of Mo He and other powerful ones… You’ll die! You will die of your stupidity!”
Ka! Cha!
Beddy opened the mouths on both its heads, and they chomped down on the heads of Ka Qiong. It chewed the heads and swallowed them into its stomach. Then it went on to chew up the other parts of the body. Soon, he finished eating an entire Sector Beast.
“Another one.” Beddy looked up with his eyes gleaming. “Almost. Almost there.”
Sou!
Beddy teleported and disappeared.
******
After around half a month, Sector Beast Beddy was chasing another Sector Beast again. Beddy clotted the space around it, so nobody could teleport to leave. One was pursuing while the other was fleeing!
“If I eat it, I’ll reach level five very soon.” Beddy was eager as it chased another Sector Beast.
******
In the silent Land of Darkness, Luo Feng stood above a tumbling river passing through space. “Why did the location change again? This Sector Beast Beddy keeps changing its location. It moves so fast, yet I have to be careful not to be found by other Sector Beasts…”
Luo Feng was deeply upset.
Far away, in Luo Feng’s miniature universe, Morosa said to the godly powered avatar, “Master, I’ve spread the message. Besides, now that the Sector Beasts have learned I am with you, they’re trying to speed up their evolution. Normally, they are very relaxed and only hunt once in a while, but now, they are acting madly and constantly moving around. So is Beddy. Beddy must be chasing its prey now. Other Sector Beasts can sense it, so they can flee as quickly as possible to render its efforts ineffective.
“However, there are far too many Sector Beasts in the hive. If Beddy dashes in a single direction, there could be hundreds of thousands of Sector Beasts there, all of whom are fleeing and even fighting each other, which gives Beddy a great chance. Besides, Beddy can teleport the farthest, so he can still succeed sometimes.”
The godly powered avatar nodded. “Mark his location carefully.”
“Yes, Master,” answered Morosa respectfully.
******
Luo Feng knew that Beddy was hunting and moving at the same time. However, he didn’t dare to wait until Beddy stopped. If it did, it might enter level five very soon.
“I have to catch up with it.”
Luo Feng became a floating rock, teleporting as he approached Beddy.
Luo Feng was able to teleport farther than Beddy. However, Beddy was reckless and went wherever it wanted, yet Luo Feng had to evade many Sector Beasts. When Luo Feng was approaching the Sector Beasts, they could sense the teleportation ripples, and if they couldn’t see any Sector Beast after sensing the teleportation ripples, they naturally grew suspicious and rushed toward him. For that reason, Luo Feng had to take many detours.
“Perhaps Beddy will rush in my direction. Then I can go ahead and capture it.”
Luo Feng looked forward to it, while that giant rock kept teleporting again and again in the Land of Darkness.
******
Time passed. Morosa maintained the standard of the Land of Darkness, tracking all the light spots that represented Sector Beasts. Just by watching those spots, it could tell when Beddy touched one, as the other spot would quickly dissipate. Apparently, Beddy was hunting and eating!
Three months after Luo Feng entered the Land of Darkness, Sector Beast Beddy sat at the top of a strange mountain floating in space. It was holding back its power. However, the energies that leaked all gathered toward Beddy, forming an endless black mist. The Land of Darkness was a hive for the Sector Beasts—a cradle for them—so it also had some special energies.
The black mist surrounded Sector Beast Beddy.
Hu!
“Absorb!”
Black mist sometimes permeated and sometimes shrank. It was like a giant heart pumping relentlessly.
On the other side of the Land of Darkness, Luo Feng found that Beddy had stopped moving. He was thrilled and started to rush in that direction.
“It stopped! Even though it’s really far away from me and I need to detour around many areas, it’ll take me only half a day to get there.”
Shua! Shua! Shua!
The rock was teleporting and moving forward.
******
The black mist heart kept pumping. Eventually…
“Absorb!”
The black mist shrank abruptly. It all went into Beddy’s nose, flooding inward. A bloody light surrounded its body. Gradually, the light became increasingly dense.
Hong! Long! Hong! Long!
Time and space trembled, and a terrifying and destructive ripple appeared, surrounding Beddy. The bloody light on its body became denser, and its body shape was growing larger and larger. When it came to body size, the more advanced a Sector Beast was, the larger its body would be.
It had been an hour, and the bloody light was gradually reined in. It was attached to its dark skin. Eccentric engravings formed on Sector Beast Beddy’s skin, and after a short while, everything disappeared. There were bloody, thread-like engravings all over its body, emanating power that could make one’s soul tremble.
Hu!
Sector Beast Beddy exhaled and opened both of his singular eyes. Both its heads smiled, as it felt relaxed and comfortable.
“Finally… Finally, I’ve entered level five.”
Sector Beast Beddy was relieved. After getting the message from Morosa, it had known that Morosa was suppressed and eventually enslaved. Since then, it had enacted a new strategy, never relaxing even for a moment. It knew that it was taking a major risk, and if other Sector Beasts entered level five before it, it would be in big trouble. However, it had to take a chance, as Luo Feng was too great a threat. It had never let up for even a second over the past eras.
“I’ve finally entered level five. Nobody in the hive of Sector Beasts will be my match now, and if Mo He and the others meet me, they’ll be doomed.”
Both of the singular eyes of Sector Beast Beddy gleamed crazily. Mo He, Qi Ya, and some others had also entered level four. Beddy had been as at an advantage before, but the best it had been able to do was suppress them. It was difficult for it to kill them, just as it had been difficult for Beddy to kill Morosa when they both had been at level three.
However, things were different now. Beddy had reached level five! This gave it an absolute edge over the other level-four Sector Beasts. Besides, there were only a few of them at level four.
“Mo He…” Sector Beast Beddy teleported and started to act. “My teleportation distance is still the same as when I was at level four, so Mo He and the others have no idea I’ve entered level five.”
******
“It only now started to move again?” A rock was floating in the space near Beddy. “Too late! I can catch you in five minutes!”
Shua!
The rock approached Beddy as quickly as possible.
