Star Swallowing
After successfully connecting with the Shadow Realm of the Otherworld Demon Realm, the entire Demonspawn became the source of light for the Shadow Kingdom, transforming into endless shadows through the conversion of the light spheres, providing power to the Shadow Kingdom.
The Shadow Kingdom began to expand wildly. Shadow Kingdom was originally only the size of a city continued to spread, eventually becoming a territory the size of a region. This was the limit that a world of shadows could sustain.
The emergence of numerous new territories has driven all the shadow creatures into a frenzy. Within the Shadow Kingdom, the more thoroughly one becomes shadowy, the less one needs to feed; in the end, all they require is shadow energy.
At the same time, due to the shadow of the Otherworld Demon Realm, some substances unique to the Otherworld Demon Realm were also transformed in a strange way and generated in the Shadow Kingdom. A wisp of shadow energy was also rapidly condensing, eventually turning into a shadow embryo. Because of the Otherworld Demon Realm Demonspawn, a new race will be added to the Shadow Kingdom as the Four-Armed Dark Demon Clan race.
Lu Li spun the planet with satisfaction. Because it had connected with the shadows of some worlds, it felt that it had improved a lot. The path ahead was clear: continuously connect with the dark side of other worlds, that is, the shadows of the worlds, and completely bring them into its grasp. Then it would continue to grow.
"However, population is still the priority; the Shadow Kingdom is far too desolate." Lu Li once again manipulated gravity and space, pulling himself forward, stopping when he encountered a suitable planet to feed on and replenish his resources.
After many twists and turns, the Christopher finally managed to slowly approach the Imperial planet. Most of the crew members were already in the medical ward isolation rooms, and some had even died.
The captain, dragging his weary body, sat in the captain's seat, watching his homeland draw ever closer. He felt a mix of excitement and calm. He was dying, and the hastily constructed spaceship was unreliable, but he was content to bring hope to the empire, no matter what.
The blond scribe beside him also looked old; his once beautiful blond hair had turned yellowish-brown. The captain held him in his arms. "Send all the information we've gathered back via long-range broadcast. I don't think we're capable of landing anymore."
"Understood, my captain!" The clerk, with a satisfied smile, clicked send, nestled in the captain's arms, and slowly closed his eyes. The captain grinned; no matter what, his life had come full circle...
"What is that?!"
The captain saw ripples appear in the space ahead, and then a huge black planet emerged from them. The gravity in the universe changed instantly, and all kinds of energy overflowed. The huge planet wriggled its tentacles and slowly approached the Empire Planet. Of course, this "slowly" was relative to the large context of the universe; in reality, the Black Star was moving very fast.
Bloodshot veins spread across the captain's eyes, his mind collapsed, and his previously perfect state of mind was completely shattered. What he brought to the empire was not just hope, but also the most terrifying disaster. Under this self-blame, the captain headed towards self-destruction and activated the spaceship's self-destruct program.
The massive, Black Star was slightly smaller than the Imperial planet, but those dark tentacles had already spread out and seized the Imperial planet. As for the Imperials who died under the tentacles, there's not much to say about that.
Lu Li harbored no ill will towards them, just as a person has no ill will towards microorganisms. Boiling water will kill a large number of microorganisms, but no normal person would feel guilty about it, except for those who chant incantations when drinking water.
Some powerful weapons bombarded Lu Li's tentacles, but to no avail. The difference between the two was simply too great; they couldn't even break through the energy field formed by Lu Li's massive energy accumulation.
Finally, Lu Li lay down on this life-bearing planet. A large number of lives died, and their souls could not escape either. Under the immense attraction, they were absorbed by the Shadow Kingdom. The surviving humans were also sucked into the Shadow Kingdom as Lu Li consumed the planet, and incidentally underwent a semi-Shadow Transformation.
Thousands of spaceships flew out, gradually moving away from the Annihilation imperial planet. In the starry sky, they watched the Black Star feeding, and all the information flowing through it was, without exception, contaminated to varying degrees.
They seemed to hear the wails and screams of hundreds of millions of people. Because of differences in will and mentality, the information pollution they received was also different. Some people believed that the Dark Star was a disaster for the empire and the greatest star monster in the universe.
Some, however, believe that the Dark Star is the messenger of death for life-bearing planets, a sign of the empire's demise, and one of the greatest calamities in the universe, thus calling it the Black Death Omen Star. Regardless of the interpretation, they all acknowledge the name Gresta.
Some believe that worshipping the Dark Death Omen Star grants them power beyond life and death. Inspired by images of the Dark Star devouring planets, some of them founded the Death Shadow cult, which quickly grew in popularity.
After one's fighting ability has improved to a certain level, one can look up at the starry sky and condense one's own fighting star (heart), possessing a fist technique that determines life and death, known as the Death Omen Star School. Of course, there is also another school that has developed, which devours the lives of others to cultivate one's own Black Star, the Star Swallowing School.
The survivors of the Empire split up, but in order to preserve the flame of the Empire, they did not fight each other. Instead, they divided their ships into factions based on their beliefs and flew towards the approximate coordinates of the Starshine World provided by the Christopher, leaving behind an interstellar broadcast to the dark and Death Omen Star Gresta.
A large number of lives were brought into the Shadow Kingdom. Most of these people underwent a semi-Shadow Transformation Level 1 enhancement, as did the animals. Although the Empire originally had few animals, and most of them died due to Lu Li's Star Devouring behavior, the newly expanded Shadow Kingdom became vibrant with life.
Most Imperials, due to their semi-shadowing, had their will and personality corrupted and chose to join the Shadow Kingdom. However, there were also some resolute individuals who resolutely refused to submit to the Shadow Kingdom, the very culprit that Destruction the Empire.
In order to increase the vitality of the Shadow Kingdom, Lu Li did not stop it. Instead, he gave these rebels some extra support. Otherwise, the snake people in the Shadow Kingdom could have used the power of the kingdom to wipe out the rebels dozens of times through sacrificial rituals.
The Shadow Kingdom is under rapid construction, and Lu Li has also begun to target other worlds, enlisting the help of Lu Li other Avatar to bring these worlds under the control of the Shadow Kingdom.
Logically speaking, the Spirit Weapon World should be the easiest world to conquer, because firstly, Lu Li has the most followers there, and the Black Heaven Hall is also in the Spirit Weapon World. In addition, the Black Mist Dark River and the King of Fear Gildes are all in the Breathing Dreamlands of this world, so Lu Li's power here is very strong. However, this world is in a state of great change, with too many forces interfering, so it is still not easy for Lu Li to make a move.
On the contrary, the newly separated Lord of Dreams and Falsehood, Angriel, is now slowly bringing the world under his control...
