The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 903: One Sided Slaughter

The scene after the order to attack could only be described as one sided slaughter. Although the number of devils was much higher than the alliance troops, their overall strength was still lacking compared to the alliance force.

The number of cultivators at the pseudo immortal establishment stage and above was far greater in the alliance force. With their strength, they swept through the weak devils like ants. As for the stronger devils, they ended up being ganged upon by several cultivators at the same realm.

The devils, still in shock over how they appeared on the surface and even right in front of the alliance force, could only put up futile resistance or try to escape in every direction. However, they were pursued by the alliance force that had already formed their battle formations.

The devils in disarray became easy targets, and killing them required little effort. The devils who tried to resist were killed. The devils who showed their backs to escape were killed. The devils who tried to commit suicide were killed before they could even do so. All of their efforts were broken by the powerful alliance force.

"Uwagh!"

"Don't retreat! Create a battle for— Aggrh!"

"Escape! Escape! Don't face them directly! Escape!"

The voices of the slaughtered devils and their panic resounded across the battlefield. The battle between the cultivators in the sky was also one-sided, as the devils who tried to fight stood no chance against the number of powerful cultivators from the alliance. In some cases, the ratio reached three to one, with one devil facing three cultivators of the same realm.

All kinds of elements were thrown across the sky, and spatial rifts appeared here and there, with some even creating dangerous spatial storms. The scene was truly chaotic, like some twisted festival, with the alliance force constantly taking the lives of the devils. Bodies of devils dropped from the sky like dead flies, and their blood fell like rain.

Figures such as Emperor Rozwald, Queen Revania, King Frederick, and the other leaders of their forces were like reapers. There was no one who could stop them, and the devils' side only had three peak pseudo immortal stage cultivators, with their leader being one of them.

Two of them died not long after being ganged upon by several cultivators, leaving only the leader. He saw his second in command, the black-haired devil, stabbed in the chest by some cultivators, killing him shortly after.

He tried to escape, flying in the opposite direction as quickly as possible. The others who saw him try to flee wanted to pursue him, but they were stunned when the leader's figure suddenly disappeared.

They frowned and thought that he might have escaped, but understanding that man was also observing this battle erased their worries. After the leader disappeared, the others looked for new targets, as there were still many devils they needed to kill. There were millions in just this place, after all.

Battles like this were happening in many parts of the world. The devils, caught off guard by the sudden change in their surroundings, were easily slaughtered by the alliance force.

The strategy from Aldrian was quite simple. He ordered the alliance force to prepare for battle in huge groups to strengthen their power. That was because they had to kill a huge number of devils on the battlefield.

After they finished preparing, Aldrian would teleport millions of devils to the separated battlefields that had already been prepared, allowing the alliance force to wipe out the disarrayed devils. The devils, who never expected to be teleported from underground, would have no time to consolidate their ranks or form any battle formation.

Aldrian would keep teleporting them in the number of millions until all devils were eradicated from the world. If the alliance troops exhausted all of their energy, then he would make a move personally to finish the job.

As a leader, Aldrian was of course observing these battles, and at this moment he was high in the sky, looking down at the world.

However, he was not alone. Beside him was another figure, already in a sorry state with his dantian shattered. The figure was in Aldrian's grasp as Aldrian choked him. This figure was actually the leader of the devils of this world. The leader who tried to escape was easily caught by Aldrian, and his dantian was destroyed with a powerful punch in that moment of shock.

Blood had already flowed from the leader's lips. His skin was extremely pale, and his face was getting much older.

Cough! Cough!

He coughed a few times and looked at Aldrian with pain but a fierce expression. There was only rage in his eyes, as if he wanted to shred Aldrian into pieces at this moment. But Aldrian did not care about his fierce look as he stared calmly into the devil's eyes.

"You will regret… this… His Majesty… Vampire King… will come for you… and your family… there will be no one who survives," the leader said with difficulty as he suffocated and endured the pain.

Hearing that, Aldrian did not change his expression.

"Is that so? I will wait for him. I already invited him myself by killing his son anyway, so you don't have to tell me that."

Hearing that, the leader's eyes widened in shock. This man killed the son of the Vampire King?! The only son he could think of was of course Rulleus. He was the only one from the royal family who had departed for the central star cluster to invade the Ancient Blue Gate World—an invasion the leader thought had simply failed, since the force from the central star cluster had instead invaded them.

But he never expected that Rulleus was dead. He had assumed the prince escaped somewhere, but this man in front of him said that he killed Rulleus?!

'He is a madman. Crazy!' he thought despite the pain.

Who was Rulleus? He was said to be the successor of the Vampire King, and the Vampire King had always given him special attention. The Vampire King, one of the four overlords, led large armies that spread across the southern side of the First Heaven.

What would happen if the son he treasured so much was dead?

Hell would break loose.

"You… are… fucking crazy— arghhh!" he shouted in pain as Aldrian looked through his memories for a moment. His body convulsed during the process, and after Aldrian finished, he used his fire laws to burn the leader's body. He burned it until nothing remained, as even the ashes were completely incinerated.

Aldrian kept his calm expression after killing the leader and continued to observe the battle across the world. What he found in the leader's mind was not much, only the real plan of the devils, which was more or less already known to him and the other leaders.

The plan of the devils was simply to wait for the right time to strike the alliance force. They planned to wait until the alliance lowered their guard before launching their attack. The leader of the devils made the world seem abandoned, with the interstellar vessels disappearing from the entire world.

In truth, most of those vessels were waiting in the nearby asteroid belt. They intended to attack from behind when the order came. With a surprise attack, they planned to throw the alliance force into panic and chaos. Their vessels would destroy the alliance's vessels, cutting their transportation lines, and then support the ground troops.

Even if they had to wait a long time, they did not care, as they had already prepared for it.

The leader also sent a vessel toward the central region of heaven to report the situation in the fallen star cluster to the Vampire King. They needed to inform him that the fallen star cluster would likely fall, so he could send armies to help defend it.

If needed, the devils in this world would only come out once the armies from the central region of heaven arrived.

That was their entire plan, which unfortunately failed because Aldrian already knew about his tricks. As long as the world had become his domain, there was no way the devils could hide from him.

Aldrian suddenly smiled to himself as he thought about the reinforcements of the devils from the central region of heaven. To reach the central star cluster, they needed a two-year journey, which meant he had time to prepare for their arrival.

'Well, if there is anything that even needs to be prepared,' he thought.

He knew that with him killing the Vampire King's son, the devils who would come later would be on a completely different scale compared to any troops he had faced until now. He knew the Vampire King commanded numerous strong devils.

With him killing Rulleus, even the Vampire King himself might visit personally. Just thinking about the future, when he would see the Vampire King and all of those devils, Aldrian couldn't help but feel something rise inside him.

'Am I feeling excited?' he thought with a smile, which made him shake his head. If anyone knew his feelings at this moment, that facing the Vampire King and his armies made him excited, they would think he had already gone crazy.

There was no one who would feel excited to face a large and powerful army led by the Vampire King himself.

But for Aldrian, he saw this as his chance. A chance to test his power that had become too powerful. He had already reached the middle pseudo immortal establishment stage and had made a few worlds his domain. There was no one who could withstand his power, and he wanted to test it against the Vampire King himself and his mighty army.

This was also a chance for him to obliterate a large part of Tarius's influence in the First Heaven. If he could obliterate the Vampire King and his army, Tarius would lose many strong followers, which would weaken his influence and control over one side of the First Heaven. Tarius would also lose a large amount of faith energy, which would weaken him slightly.

Aldrian took a deep breath to calm his excitement. He needed to keep his arrogant side grounded. The superiority that stemmed from the strength of his past life was something he had to keep in check.

He returned his focus to the battle across the world. For now, he would take care of the ones in front of him first.
