Chapter 294 -294-The Terror of the Strongest Lifeform in the Starsea
James stared at the arena and spoke in a low voice.
"Julian isn’t absolutely certain that he can kill Harris in a single strike, and Harris isn’t absolutely certain that he can avoid Julian’s throwing knife... so neither of them dares to make the first move."
"They appear to be waiting, but the outcome will be decided in the blink of an eye," Daniel continued. "Because Julian only has one chance to attack."
James nodded.
Julian himself controlled two low-grade laws: the Law of Causality and the Law of Destruction. Combined with his Divine-grade secret treasure, the throwing knife that inherently contained the power of the Law of Space, his strength was truly terrifying.
However, Harris was no ordinary powerhouse either.
If Julian failed to take his life with that single knife, the one who died would be Julian himself.
"Hmm?"
Mosi suddenly let out a low sound of surprise.
At that very moment, every spectator witnessed the astonishing phenomenon before their eyes.
Behind Harris, within the void, an enormous creature abruptly condensed into existence!
The colossal being occupied nearly half the entire space. It towered over tens of thousands of meters high, its entire body exuding a vast, ancient, and mysterious aura.
"A Starbeast!"
Heaven-shaking cries of astonishment erupted from the spectator stands.
Even the Oracle-grade powerhouses turned their gazes toward the arena, their expressions becoming grave.
"So that is... a Starbeast?"
"One of the supreme lifeforms of the Endless Starsea!"
"It is said that Starbeasts require more than five hundred thousand years to reach adulthood, and once they mature, they can even awaken a supreme bloodline..."
The Starbeasts were the strongest race in the Endless Starsea!
They possessed no fixed territory, and their descendants were extraordinarily rare. However, once they reached adulthood, they would naturally possess Divine-grade strength—and the moment they entered Divine-grade, they would stand at its very peak!
If one of them was fortunate enough to awaken its bloodline, it could instantly step into the Oracle-grade realm.
In other words, the Harris before them could still only be considered a juvenile Starbeast!
"To think he is actually a Starbeast..."
James’s voice trembled slightly. "It is said that descendants of the Starbeast race are exceedingly rare. In our universe, Harris is currently the only one of his kind."
"So this is a Starbeast..."
Daniel gazed at the immense phantom that blotted out the sky and covered the earth, his heart filled with emotion.
"The Endless Starsea truly contains every wonder imaginable."
At this moment, he felt like a country boy who had only just entered a grand city for the first time. Everything he saw filled him with novelty and amazement.
...
Inside the arena, tiny beads of cold sweat had already appeared on Julian’s forehead, slowly sliding down from the corners of his brows.
"You should never have given me time to awaken my innate phantom."
Harris grinned, revealing rows of ghastly white teeth.
"Concede, Julian!"
Before his voice had even faded—
Awooo!
The phantom of the Starbeast behind Harris suddenly raised its head and let out a mighty roar toward the heavens.
The entire space shook violently. The earth shattered apart, and countless fragments of rock were sucked into the colossal beast’s mouth like mere morsels of food!
The sky trembled as endless matter surged madly into that enormous maw.
Even the wind and the light itself could not escape.
An irresistible devouring force swept through the arena.
Julian felt as though both his Divine Soul and his physical body were being violently torn at by an overwhelming Strength that he could not resist. He was almost dragged directly into the giant beast’s belly.
"Hmph!"
Julian let out a muffled grunt and gritted his teeth, desperately holding on. A trace of horror flashed through his eyes.
"So this is the devouring power of a Starbeast? It is said to stand above all laws and devour everything in existence!"
"I will not concede!"
Although Julian did not possess absolute confidence in his victory, he would never willingly give up here.
Even when facing the strongest lifeform in the Endless Starsea, he still had to hold the conviction that he would win.
That was the Rank he had pursued throughout his entire life!
Whoosh!
An incomparably blazing light burst from Julian’s eyes.
At this moment, his condition rose to an unprecedented peak. His strength surpassed that of every previous moment in his life.
This knife would be the strongest strike he had ever unleashed—
The most dazzling, and also the most lethal!
Swish!
A flash of blade light erupted.
Carrying an unstoppable will to advance and an absolute determination to kill, the throwing knife tore through the air, imbued with the powers of three great laws: Causality, Destruction, and Space!
Shnk!
The throwing knife struck its target squarely.
Julian’s knife was now embedded directly in Harris’s forehead!
Heaven-shaking cries of shock exploded from the spectator stands.
"Holy shit! Harris lost?"
"The strongest lifeform in the Starsea? Is that all he has?"
"No, that’s not it! Julian is simply too strong!"
...
"Julian has lost."
Daniel abruptly fixed his gaze on Harris.
He could sense a surging tide of vitality erupting from within Harris’s body. That life force was so abundant that it was comparable to an entire miniature world brimming with life!
How could the vitality of a single living being be so vast?
"The defining trait of a Starbeast is its ability to devour everything," James said with a sigh. "And naturally, ’everything’ includes all laws as well."
"As expected of the strongest lifeform in the Endless Starsea. Once they fully awaken their bloodline, they will unquestionably become supreme powerhouses."
"They can even devour laws and convert them into nourishment for themselves."
Daniel shook his head.
"Starbeasts are practically unbeatable existences."
However, an almost imperceptible smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
He happened to possess a Starbeast egg himself!
It was something he had obtained after Heavenscar plundered the treasury of the Holy Kingdom.
He had already removed its seal long ago. He simply had never known how he should deal with it.
Now that he had witnessed the terrifying power and talent Harris had displayed, Daniel had begun to form a plan in his heart.
"At present, the Chronoverse Prologue Codex is still missing three elemental cores."
He silently contemplated, "Once I gather them all, I will be able to control the Laws of Time and Space. However, elemental cores are not something I can obtain merely by being anxious."
The Starbeast egg, on the other hand, was something he could put to use.
He turned his attention back toward the arena.
Inside the arena, even after taking Julian’s knife to the forehead, Harris remained completely unharmed.
"Idiot. You have no chance left!"
An endless torrent of life force poured down from the Starbeast phantom behind Harris, leaving him entirely unscathed as it repaired every trace of damage he had suffered.
At the same time, the devouring force grew increasingly violent, as though it intended to swallow the entire space itself.
Julian no longer had the opportunity to throw a second knife, because his strongest strike had always been his first.
In other words, he had already lost.
At this moment, he could no longer withstand the increasingly overwhelming devouring power. His Divine Soul was forcibly torn from him and sucked away.
Immediately afterward came his physical body...
A moment later, Julian had been completely devoured by the Starbeast!
Julian had fallen!
Even until the moment of his death, he had failed to force Harris to reveal any other abilities.
This scene caused every contestant who had already advanced to furrow their brows tightly.
"By the Creator God... This has already surpassed the limits of a quasi-Sage, hasn’t it?"
Udi’s face was deathly pale, and his voice trembled as he spoke.
"The strongest race of the Endless Starsea truly lives up to its reputation."
Harris was like a terrifying curse mark, branded deeply into the hearts of every one of his opponents.
Silas shook his head and let out a long sigh.
"Had I been standing in Julian’s position..."
Cold Star involuntarily shuddered.
"Even if I can replicate all things, how could I possibly replicate a bloodline power capable of devouring heaven and earth?"
Harris was an insurmountable mountain before him!
He gave a bitter smile, a helpless gleam flashing through his eyes.
In the stands, the spectators were all dumbfounded, as though an invisible giant hand had seized them by the throat.
The reversal in this battle had happened as swiftly as a meteor flashing across the night sky, leaving everyone utterly unprepared.
"Julian fell just like that? He didn’t even get the chance to use a second knife..."
"The racial talent of the Starbeasts is simply too heaven-defying. They can devour everything, even laws themselves... Who could possibly contend with an existence like that?"
"This is ridiculous. Why are they even still fighting? They might as well deliver the championship trophy straight to Harris right now!"
"That sounds perfectly reasonable to me—but I’m afraid certain challengers won’t agree."
