Chương 263: Devouring the Power of Light

After the competition, Zhao Rui did not collect his reward, but went straight back to the base and went to his own rest area.

There were many other contestants waiting to compete, and Zhao Rui could feel their wary gazes through the transparent glass enclosure.

Clearly, Zhao Rui's victory led them to consider him a dangerous individual.

"This is a world for the strong. If you win one battle, they'll provoke you, but if you win every single one, you'll see fear in their eyes. Hehe!"

The big-headed monster chuckled, extending its thin, tentacle-like arms to point at the contestants inside the glass enclosure. It then laughed smugly, "You're a smart one; they've all suffered physical pain! Of course, you're also an unlucky fellow, ending up in my arena. Here, it's one-way street—you can only enter, not leave—unless—you can achieve twenty wins!"

"Enjoy the show! I hope you go far."

The big-headed monster led him to an empty glass enclosure, then swaggered away, showing no concern whatsoever that Zhao Rui might escape or do something else.

Zhao Rui, unaware of Da Tou's background, remained calm and quietly watched the other contestants' matches.

Soon the second match began, featuring two long-haired humanoid creatures resembling gorillas.

They can transform their bodies into gigantic beasts thousands of feet tall; however, their innate physical limitations mean they need to rely on the land provided by the giant head to fight.

Therefore, their battle was arranged on an asteroid.

A group of enormous beasts actually moved an asteroid directly from the distant stars and placed it in the center of the arena.

The onlookers who had just disappeared reappeared before Zhao Rui's eyes.

This close-up observation finally made Zhao Rui understand why they had suddenly disappeared and then suddenly reappeared.

Because they are not physical entities at all, but virtual projections.

They were all spectators from star systems countless light-years away, connected here through a special means.

They became spectators.

Zhao Rui was filled with shock. How many unknown areas were there in the vast universe?

Before Zhao Rui could think any further, the battle on the asteroid had already begun.

According to the introduction given by the big-headed narrator, these two creatures are actually mortal enemies on the same planet, born to fight each other.

It's clear that Da Tou used some means to capture both sides of the conflict at once.

The two behemoths were several times larger than the largest Nine-Aperture Soul-Devouring Pouch on Earth. If they were on Earth, they would be described as having heads reaching the sky and feet touching the ground.

The asteroid is not small; it is about one-tenth the size of the moon.

Two colossal beasts leaped and fought fiercely within, blood flowing freely, celestial bodies shattering, and rocks flying everywhere, turning into meteorites that soared into the cosmos.

The battle lasted for three hours before a victor was determined.

One of the giant beasts had its throat bitten off by another giant beast, turning into a floating corpse in the starry sky!

The victorious behemoth cheered and leaped into the starry gate that Big Head had opened for it.

The beast went in quickly and came out just as quickly; it emerged almost in the blink of an eye.

However, when he came out, he was noticeably different; his aura seemed much stronger.

"Could there be a difference in the flow of time within the spatial portal?"

Zhao Rui frowned deeply.

Before he could think any further, the third match continued after the giant beast returned. This time, the opponent was none other than the Light Clan member who had been trapped here with Zhao Rui.

His wing injury has healed, and he is now flapping his wings and flying into the arena.

His opponent was a large, muscular humanoid man with a single horn on his head, whose head resembled a bull's head.

"The Light Clan, what a holy and great race! How fortunate to have captured one! I think you will all like it."

"Oh, of course, don't tell that wretched God of Light, otherwise you won't have a match to watch."

Big Head said with a grin, though his words implied a fear of the God of Light, his actions showed no sign of it.

Upon hearing Da Tou's words, the Light Clan member immediately began chanting a light incantation. His body shone brightly, and divine thoughts emanated from him, traversing the cosmos and disappearing into an unknown region.

"Oh dear, why did you summon the God of Light? What an annoying fellow."

A fearful smile appeared on the big-headed monster's face, then it flickered and disappeared from the scene.

When they reappeared, they were already thousands of miles away.

"Kill this talkative member of the Light Clan, and the reward will be doubled!"

The big-headed monster chuckled, signaling the minotaur to kill the Starman.

Upon hearing this, the Minotaur, without waiting for the Heavenly Demon's voice to sound, strode towards the Light Clan, opened a large hand, and reached out to grab them.

"The power of light gathers within me, purifying all evil in the world!"

As soon as the Light Clan member finished chanting the incantation, a beam of white light traversed billions of kilometers and descended, directly possessing his body.

"Do you know your crime? I will judge you in the name of justice!"

The Light Clan member waved his right hand, and a scepter appeared in his grasp. He then flew towards the Minotaur.

The two instantly clashed in the void, white and black light intertwining. Although the desolate starry sky was dim and silent, the sound of their collision could still be felt through their contact.

Its power was terrifying, far surpassing that of the two giant apes from before.

The two giant apes were fighting purely with physical strength, but they already possessed a divine power.

"Impossible! How can you be so strong? My power is dissipating!"

After fighting for only a short while, the Minotaur was no match for the Minotaur. As it retreated violently, blood flowed freely from its body.

The Light Clan pressed their advantage and defeated the Minotaur in a few rounds.

The Minotaur staggered away from the battlefield.

"Oh, powerful light! Congratulations on your victory!"

Big Head stepped into the arena to congratulate the Light Clan on their victory.

The Light Clan member was overjoyed. He released his divine power, and a beam of white light rose up, flying back in the direction he had come from.

"Haha! Off we go!"

Just then, a strange thing happened. A blur flew out from Big Head's body, and it caught up with the white light in the blink of an eye.

"How dare you! Ah! You actually dare to draw upon my divine power of light, you will regret it!"

A roar that shook the starry sky came from afar. This strong and resentful fluctuation of divine soul made Zhao Rui's mind jump.

Although he was able to easily defeat the Light Clan, this wave of energy was clearly different from the power released by the Light Clan.

To become stronger and purer.

Could this be the origin of the power of the God of Light?

Zhao Rui was also confused. He dared not try to use the Light Clan's techniques, nor could he know the source of this power.

Undoubtedly, the Big-Headed Monster used the Light Clan's summons to achieve his own goals.

The Light Clan members in the arena, upon hearing the roar of the power of their god, turned deathly pale and plummeted from the starry sky.

His spiritual energy surged, and he could no longer maintain his flight through the void.

Just then, a female member of the Light Clan who looked exactly like him flew out of the base, caught him steadily, and brought him back to the base.

Just then, the illusory image of the big-headed monster returned triumphantly.

After merging with the real Big Head, it couldn't help but lick its lips.

It's clear they enjoyed their meal.

"A little mishap, don't worry about it, tsk tsk! Halftime. Don't rush, the exciting match is about to begin."

The giant-headed monster chuckled and twisted its enormous head, wobbling as it traversed the void, returning to its base.
