Super Devouring System

As the Bone Doppelganger was thrown out, the Violent Ape swung its large black rod. The huge body of the fifth-ranked Heavenly Dao Panda, which was tens of millions of li in length, instantly exploded, turning into a cloud of bloody mist that quickly spread out.    

In the distance from the surrounding Void, a group of Heaven's Path Vicious Beasts were watching with wide eyes. The Three-legged Golden Crow raised its head and roared angrily, but did not dare to step forward as it was deterred by the Falling Sky Bow. same    

In that moment, the Mind Thunder Technique was activated by the black fog Doppelganger, and this time, it was activated with all her might. The mind energy that was released from the Spirit Core in Ye Xuan's sea of consciousness was completely sucked out ?    

In an instant, a blood-red bolt of lightning, which was a million miles in diameter, came crashing down on the originally empty head of the Great Celestial Way of the Heavens without any forewarning ?    

Based on Ye Xuan's current cultivation level, especially with the combination of the three great blood ocean's Doppelganger, activating the true body of the three-headed, six-armed Demon Ape at its strongest state was no ordinary peak Heaven Dao.    

With this kind of power, if he were to shoot the Sky Falling Sky Arrow with the Bone Doppelganger, it would be very hard for him to escape. Even if he didn't die, he would be heavily injured and lose his combat power.    

After all, he was still only at the eighth stage of the Heavenly Dao.    

But because of the existence of the Three-legged Golden Crow, Ye Xuan could not easily shoot this arrow, or else he would instantly reverse the situation that he was in right now. Unless it was the last moment and he was forced to do so, he would not make such a choice. by    

"I can only use other methods to suppress the Great Desolation Heavenly Dao's green eye as much as possible."    

"Crack ?"    

"Awoo ?"    

A clear sound of silk tearing came out, the mournful wails came out from the Great Desolate Heavenly Dao's green eyes, going all the way to the ears in shock, he was indeed careless, he never expected that Ye Xuan would suddenly attack him at this moment. quenching    

Caught off guard, the Great Heaven's Path green eye was immediately struck squarely in the face by the spiritual lightning. Within the huge star-like vertical eye, it was visible with the naked eye that there were a few additional glaring red threads.    

This was clearly the rate at which his injuries worsened, but he was still a distance away from truly serious injuries! can    

Since Ye Xuan had already activated it, it was naturally not going to let go of the tiger's head and tail.    

"Ruthlessness ?"    

"Rumble ?" clang    

However, he was severely injured, and furthermore, he was ambushed while caught off guard. The Great Desolation Heavenly Dao's green eyes were enraged, and an earth-shattering cry came out. A green light with a diameter of millions of kilometers shot out from the huge vertical eye, and like a green bolt of lightning, it charged towards Ye Xuan with a loud roar.    

"You are looking to die ?" Black    

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Mist Doppelganger. At this moment, the Mental Energy Origin Core floating in the space in his sea of consciousness was activated again, and all of the remaining mental energy in the Origin Core poured out without restraint. one    

This kind of deficit was somewhat unbearable to him. The Three-headed, Six-Armed Demon Ape's true body swayed a little, but the pain in its head did not disappear. It continued to persist, causing the expressions on the three great demon bodies to become even more sinister ?    

"Buzz ?"    

At the same time, there was a weak but continuous high-frequency buzzing sound. Two rays of blood light shot out of the blood-red eyes of the body of the black fog without any warning. seminal essence    

The Spirit Reversal was activated, all of the spirit energy in Ye Xuan's mind's core was extracted, and transformed into two streaks of blood light as it rushed out.    

This time, it was even faster, far surpassing the speed of lightning! wink    

In his eyes, two streaks of blood light merged into one. They rushed towards each other, and instantly came into contact with the green light pillar that was shooting straight at Ye Xuan. By    

Just like before, the blood-red glow was like a liquid. It didn't explode when it came into contact with the green pillar of light. Instead, it instantly spread outwards like a layer of blood-red dye being applied to it at an extremely fast speed ?    

This scene was extremely familiar. It had appeared not long ago, and the only difference was that the blood-red light ray that had enveloped the Bloodhorn Rhinoceros was the sky-upholding Blood Horn. However, it had now turned into the azure light beam of the Great Desolate Heavenly Dao's green eyes ?    

Everyone was well aware of the meaning of this strange rendering. The primordial Heavenly Dao's green eyes, which followed closely behind the green pillar of light, suddenly froze. The light in their eyes also became incomparably aghast at this moment ?    

The Bloodhorn Rhinoceros was a material object, but his green light beam was a form of energy. He didn't understand how this strange blood light could cover the surface of the green light beam, but that didn't matter anymore.    

The most important thing was that in that split-second, an extremely bad feeling arose in his heart. An enormous sense of danger descended, something he had never experienced before ? This    

All of this takes a long time to describe, but it happened in a tenth of an instant. In a split-second, everything changed!    

"Swish ?"    

An incomparably sharp sound of breaking through the air rang, and the green pillar of light that shot towards him at extreme speed was originally already hundreds of millions of kilometers away, but at this moment, as the blood-red light that covered the pillar of light suddenly flashed, the green pillar of light that was millions of kilometers in diameter suddenly reversed, and turned around to blast away ? one    

Everything was exactly the same as what had happened to the Bloodhorn Rhinoceros. At this moment, a fierce light flashed through its star-like eyes, revealing endless terror ?    

"Ruthlessness ?"    

"Boom!" A shocking cry rang out, and the Great Desolation Heavenly Dao's green eyes no longer hesitated, as it suddenly turned to the side in a violent shock ?    

"Riiiiip!"    

"Puff ?" WAN    

A clear cracking sound like the crack of silk could be heard, followed by a series of popping sounds. Although the speed of the primordial green eye was very fast, it was still slower by half a second. with    

As Liu Ming dodged to the side, the extremely quick green light pillar shot past him. Although it was not able to directly pierce through the Great Desolation Heavenly Dao's green eye, an area of over three hundred thousand li was scraped away.    

A large amount of green liquid gushed out of the wound like a fountain. It was extremely pure and exuded a rich aura of the Heavenly Dao. He    

After all, he was once the embodiment of the will of the heavens in a large world. This green liquid was extremely extraordinary, even to the current Ye Xuan. If    

If he brought them back to his subordinates in order to use them, the effects would be even more shocking. such as    

"Ye Xuan naturally could not waste this opportunity like this..."    

"Swish!"    

"Hualala ?"    

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, the black fog Doppelganger suddenly waved its hand and an invisible force swept through. In an instant, it wrapped up the Heavenly Dao's liquid like a large green river and stored it within its body...    

"Ruthlessness!"    

"Ruthlessness ?" While you're here    

In the blink of an eye, it had already traveled over a hundred billion miles. However, it did not stop there. It continued to head towards the distant encirclement. yangtang, yangtang, yangtang, yangtang, yangtang, yangtzu    

"That strike already heavily injured him and left him with only around sixty to seventy percent of his power. There is no point in staying." That one attack already seriously injured him and left him with only about sixty to seventy percent of his power.    

"Ruthlessness!"    

"Ruthlessness ?"    

An earth-shaking, violent howl came out. While Ye Xuan was collecting the river of the green-colored Heaven's Path Essence liquid from the Void, his star-like green-colored vertical eye also quickly retreated. In the blink of an eye, it had already traveled over a hundred billion kilometers ? yangtang, yangtang, yangtang, yangtang, yangtang, yangtzu    

This attack had already severely wounded him, and he only had about sixty to seventy percent of his combat strength left. There was no point in staying behind, so he decided to just run far away and give up on today's battle!    

As long as there were mountains, there would be no fear of burning firewood! such as    

He was heavily injured today, and the situation was not looking good. If he forced himself to stay here, he might really die in the end ? At this moment, the Great Desolation Heavenly Green Eyes knew how to make a choice. He    

He was extremely fast and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived at the edge of this chaotic Void which was millions of kilometers long. He did not stop and directly tore open a crack in the Void.    

This time, there were originally thirty-three vicious beasts that had joined hands to encircle and annihilate Ye Xuan. However, before the Great Desolate Heavenly Dao's azure eyes could escape, there were only twenty-eight of them left.    

Right now, with the Desolate Heavenly Dao's green eyes heavily wounded, they had already escaped. Their numbers had been reduced by one, and including the Three-legged Golden Crow, there were only twenty-seven heaven stage fierce beasts left, gathered in the surroundings of the Void in the distance ?    

"Roar!"    

"Damn it, the Heaven's Path Green Eye has actually escaped. He is only heavily injured, not near death's door. How could he be so cowardly ?"    

"I've heard that the Green Eyes of the Ancient Dao of the Ancient Desolation is unreliable. Back then, I seemed to have worked with fellow cultivator Long Whale, and it was him who escaped first. It looks like this is indeed the nature ?"    

"This matter should be spread out. Everyone on the left bank should be aware of his face. He is simply a person abandoned by both gods and gods; he is too vulgar ?" oculus    

Seeing how the Great Desolation Heavenly Dao's green eyes didn't even say a word and just ran off without saying a word, the surrounding twenty or so heaven stage beasts from far away in the Void burst into an uproar. They released their divine sense and were immediately filled with resentment.    

"Fellow Daoists, the situation has turned even more serious. If you continue to hesitate, all of today's efforts will be in vain ?"    

At the same time, a glint flashed in his eyes as he looked towards the right of the Void, revealing an urge to rush over: "You two are both at the eighth stage of the Heavenly Dao, as long as you have the intention, you can definitely force him to shoot this Falling Sky Arrow ?" Divide    

Other than him, there were indeed two other late-stage eighth level demonic beasts among the twenty-six. Their cultivation base was similar to that of the Green Eye of the Great Heaven and the Rhinoceros.    

At this moment, the Three-Legged Golden Crow was clearly urging the two to make a decision. deficiency    

Silence descended once again into the air. The other Heavenly Dao Beasts all secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but the faces of the two Class 8 Heavenly Daos named by the Three-legged Golden Crow simultaneously turned as dark as water. He    

If not, they would definitely become the target of public criticism. The other Class 8 Heavenly Dao would immediately cause trouble, and the Three-legged Golden Crow would definitely follow suit, thus falling into a passive state. cerebrum    

As these thoughts flashed through their minds, the two of them subconsciously exchanged glances, staring at each other without making a sound. The atmosphere in the Void immediately became heavy again, with a sense of pressure and strangeness, as well as awkwardness ?    

"Roar!"    

"There is no need to be anxious. Today, as long as you do not leave, none of you will be able to escape. All of you will fall here ?" Hong    

Although Ye Xuan felt that it was regretful that he was able to escape, he was at least able to obtain a river of the Heavenly Dao's green eye. This was an extremely rare treasure, and one that would only appear when the will of the heavens was heavily injured in the body of a great world. Yes    

He had gained quite a bit today with this Heavenly Dao Blue Liquid that was like a great river. Furthermore, he had killed five Heavenly Dao Vicious Beasts and obtained five Heavenly Dao Blood Essences.    

Including the Three-Legged Golden Crow, there were still twenty-seven Heavenly Dao fierce beasts that were stuck here. However, from the looks of the current awkward situation, the moment when these old fellows scattered like birds was going to come sooner or later. But    

Since he was still hesitating and seemed to want to persevere, then for Ye Xuan, it was a good opportunity to kill one or two more of these beasts. It would also be good to obtain one or two Heaven Blood Essences. "    

"Phew ?"    

"Boom!"    

"Rumble ?"    

With all these thoughts flashing through his mind, Ye Xuan no longer hesitated. In a flash, he rushed towards a Rank 5 Heavenly Dao.    

Earlier, when he had attacked so many times, all of his mental energy had long been drained from the Core that was hanging in his mind. such as    

He still had a splitting headache, so he was temporarily unable to cast the secret technique for the time being. This time, the Black Mist Doppelganger was the first to make its move, and the multicolored floating ribbon wrapped around his body shot out like a giant python from the starry sky. welcome    

As the storm grew, it instantly turned into a sea of nine colored flames, engulfing the figure of the fifth step Heavenly Dao within it! "    

"Ruthlessness ?"    

Everything was too unexpected, the fifth stage Heavenly Dao did not expect Ye Xuan to make such a sudden move, in fear, the ball of flame that was only fifty million li long produced an extremely sharp and shrill scream instantly. can    

It was too late. The three-headed, six-armed Demon Ape's true body was overflowing with killing intent. With an apocalyptic momentum, the big-headed black rod and the Bone Doppelganger's purple-gold fist were thrown out at the same time.    

"Bam!" surprise    

The heaven shaking earth's explosion sounded out in the next moment, and the ruthless hissing sounds from the Rainbow Fireball suddenly stopped. This    

The enormous figure of the first five steps of the Heavenly Dao instantly exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist. Before it could completely spread out, it was absorbed into the body of the black fog Doppelganger with a wave of its hand. whole    

The entire process went smoothly, and was completed in the span of a single breath. Immediately after, with a thought from Ye Xuan, the ball of nine colored flames in front of him disintegrated, and under its condensation, it once again transformed into a colossal python made of nine colored ribbons that shot forward and wrapped around his body in the blink of an eye.    

When they suddenly turned around, the three great demon bodies' eyes were all filled with a vicious light. Their gazes were like the letters of a poisonous snake as they swiftly swept over the group of Heavenly Law's ferocious beasts. They were clearly selecting their next target ? with    

While he was attacking once again, the twenty-seven Heaven Dao Vicious Beasts decreased by one, and the number of Heavenly Dao Vicious Beasts that had fallen at Ye Xuan's hands had reached a total of six. This number was truly shocking, and looking at Ye Xuan's imposing manner, it was clear that the number of deaths of the six would continue to climb. or    

Perhaps, he would be the next to fall ? cerebrum    

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, more than half of the remaining twenty-six Heaven's Path Vicious Beasts started trembling violently. The intention to retreat in their hearts became more intense than ever before. euphemism    

It was the dozen or so Heavenly Daos with cultivations between the fourth and sixth stages, and they even possessed an unprecedented sense of danger of life and death.    

"Roar!"    

"Ruthlessness ?"    

"Even the Green Eye of the Great Desolation has escaped, what are we waiting for?" "He is a Class 8 Heavenly Dao ?"    

"That's right. There is no hope for the battle today. Rather than waiting for death here, it would be better to just withdraw ?"    

"Fellow Daoists, please take care of yourselves. Self has been withdrawn from this matter. Farewell ?"    

"Roar!"    

Even the Green Eye of the Great Desolation has escaped, why are we still here? "He is a Class 8 Heavenly Dao ?"    

"That's right. There is no longer any hope for the battle today. Rather than waiting for death here, we might as well withdraw ?"    

"Fellow Daoists, please take care of yourselves. Once Self withdraws from this matter, we will part ways here ?"    

"Ruthlessness ?"    

When Ye Xuan made his move again, he instantly killed another Heavenly Beast. Amongst the remaining 26 Heavenly Dao Beasts, more than half of them trembled violently, the intention to retreat in their hearts growing more intense than ever before.    

Especially when the dozen or so Rank 4 to Rank 6 Heavenly Dao cultivators felt an unprecedented sense of danger. They no longer hesitated and as soon as the divine sense was heard, they quickly retreated.    

"Swoosh!"    

"Swish, swish, swish ?" cuspis    

An incomparably sharp sound of breaking through the air rang, and there was the precedent of when the Great Desolate Heavenly Dao's green eyes opened. In addition to that, Ye Xuan was caught off guard as he chopped off another Heavenly Dao beast's formless deterrence.    

Currently, after these dozen or so middle stage Heavenly Dao cultivators had decided to evacuate, they did not feel any psychological pressure at all. In the blink of an eye, they had already retreated hundreds of billions of miles away, arriving at the border of this chaotic Void ? deficiency    

There were originally only twenty-six Heavenly Dao Vicious Beasts in the surroundings. Now that there were fourteen of them, including the Three-Legged Golden Crow, there were only twelve remaining. This    

The degree of chaos surrounding the Void s that had been sealed billions of kilometers away was instantly reduced. Although it was still unable to activate the interstellar coordinate jumping ability that the system attached to it, the difference wasn't too great.    

According to Ye Xuan's estimations, at most, another two would be killed, and the chaos in Void would dissipate. At that time, Ye Xuan only needed to think, and the star coordinates jumping ability that the system in his body would activate, and he could quietly flee far away.    

"Roar!"    

Dammit, you pieces of trash, you actually managed to escape in the face of a battle, your Self is also ? "    

From afar, the Three-legged Golden Crow was so angry that it almost fainted on the spot when it saw fourteen Heaven stage fierce beasts walking all around. The sound of his divine sense rang out and he was infuriated and agitated like never before.    

Unfortunately, this didn't change anything. If it were only two Heavenly Dao vicious beasts retreating, he would have been able to make an example of them. But now that they were gone, it didn't matter how he dealt with them.    

"Ruthlessness ?"    

"Rumble ?"    

At the same time, the three-headed, six-armed Ye Xuan also rushed forward. Even though the remaining twelve vicious beasts were all of late stage or higher, other than the peak of the ninth stage, perfect ninth stage, three-legged Golden Crow, even if they were two of the eighth stage of the Heavenly Dao, Ye Xuan would still have the confidence to kill them with his full strength ? more    

Moreover, the target that he had chosen was only a seventh level Heavenly Dao. From the aura that was being emitted by this wild beast, it was clear that he had only just broken through to the late stage of the seventh level not too long ago.    

He wasn't that much stronger than someone at the peak of the middle stage of the Heavenly Dao Sixth Order. acuteness    

A loud whistling sound resounded, and an earth-shattering roar resounded through the entire Void. The Violent Ape moved both its hands, smashing the Divine Nong Cauldron and the big-headed black rod that were held by him into the air. skeleton    

The Bone Doppelganger also threw two fists, one on the left and one on the right, two enormous fists that were as huge as stars, which struck towards the enormous body of the Heavenly Dao of the seventh step. Black    

Although the Mist Doppelganger was no longer able to unleash the secret spiritual energy technique, the Nine-coloured Flame Sea charged out like a Giant Starry Python, directly blocking the retreat path of this seventh stage vicious beast! posterior    

The man was scared to death. His eyes looked like they were about to burst and his soul was about to leave his body. Immediately, he retreated.    

"Awoo ?" body    

The form was too bedraggled. Caught off guard, he made contact with the Nine-colored Flame Sea, which was blocking his retreat. His body was scorched, and an incomparably mournful howl instantly rang out. quaque    

"With this delay, the Violent Ape and the Bone Doppelganger's attack finally arrived in front of them. Without any hesitation, the hood fell with a loud rumble ?"    

"Ruthlessness ?"    

"Boom, boom, boom ?"    

"Bam!"    

There was no suspense in what happened next. The Class 7 Heavenly Dao could not withstand such terrifying power at all. Under the threat of death, he only had time to emit an incomparably shrill cry before his entire body exploded. Black    

The Misty Doppelganger suddenly waved its hand at this moment, and an invisible force immediately rushed out majestically, turning into a howling gale. wink    

In a blink of an eye, the boundless blood mist formed by the explosion of the figure of the Rank 7 Heavenly Dao swept into his body and was sent directly to the bottom of the volcano in the space of the cauldron, where he began refining the blood essence!    

At this point, Ye Xuan had already killed seven more heaven ferocious beasts. The boundless blood mist formed by the explosion of the bodies of the seven heaven ferocious beasts had all been collected by the black fog Doppelganger and sent into her body. No    

After a long period of time, he would be able to refine seven Heaven's Path Blood Essences. in    

Before this battle began, Ye Xuan already had eighteen pieces of the Heavenly Blood Essences. Adding these seven, his total was already twenty-five, which could be said to be an astonishing harvest!    

Everything happened too quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another fierce beast had fallen. The pressure of the Heavenly Dao on the Void decreased, and the chaos had lessened slightly, to the point that it was only a thin line away from allowing Ye Xuan to activate the jumping ability of the interstellar coordinates that he inherited from his body.    

If nothing unexpected happened, killing the last Heavenly Dao Beast, the chaos in the Void would be completely calmed down, only ten Heavenly Dao Beasts would be able to release all of their power and stack them up together to form an invisible pressure. The chaotic effect on the Void would no longer be able to stop Ye Xuan from jumping around with his interplanetary coordinates. cerebrum    

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, a cold light flashed across Ye Xuan's eyes. The three great devil bodies immediately turned around, and their gazes all gathered on a seventh stage vicious beast.    

"Ruthlessness ?"    

"Today's matter is indeed not something to be done. Self is not something to accompany, otherwise, it would be equivalent to falling ?"    

Sensing that the three great demon bodies of the Magic Apes were about to lock onto him, this Class 7 Heavenly Dao seemed to reflexively react on its own as its entire body trembled. Its expression changed drastically as it involuntarily cried out in alarm.    

Then, without any more hesitation, he turned around and shot off into the distance.    

He was truly afraid. Just a moment ago, a rank 7 Heavenly Dao had fallen. He didn't want to follow in his footsteps. Right now, leaving was the wisest choice. This    

In a moment, following his departure, only ten Heavenly Dao Beasts remained, including the Three-legged Golden Crow. Everyone could sense the changes that had occurred in the Void. The teleportation that they could not previously use was no longer suppressed.    

In other words, if he was willing, he could leave at any time after transforming into the true form of the Three-headed Six-Armed Demon Ape.    

"Roar ?"    

It should not have happened like this, so Self wasn't willing to give up ? "    

No matter what, even if he had to pay a price, today ? You must also be kept here! "    

All of these thoughts flashed through his mind, and the Three-legged Golden Crow instantly raised its head and let out a shocking roar. At this moment, the extreme unwillingness and anger in its heart made him want to break free, and it no longer hesitated as it roared loudly: "Roar! Die, perish ? "Light!" Day    

There were only ten beasts left, and a change had occurred in Void. The teleportation that she was originally unable to use was no longer suppressed, and if Ye Xuan was willing, he could leave at any time. cerebrum    

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, the Three-legged Golden Crow raised its head and let out an earth-shaking roar, "Roar!"    

"It shouldn't have happened like this, Self is unwilling ?"    

"No matter what, even if I have to pay a price, today ?" You must also be kept here! " This    

At that moment, the extreme unwillingness and anger in his heart made him give it his all. Without any hesitation, he shouted loudly, "Roar! Die ? "Light of Destruction!"    

"Buzz ?"    

Along with the last roar, the enormous body of the Three-legged Golden Crow, Pang Da, which was nearly a hundred million miles large, transformed at an instant. Its true form of the beast transformed into a gigantic black gold sun in the blink of an eye.    

This round of the Black Gold Sun was also nearly a hundred million kilometers in size. The moment it appeared, an incomparably deep buzzing sound came from within the Great Sun. It unknowingly gave off a feeling as if one's scalp had gone numb, as if something extremely bad was about to happen ?    

Although this Three-legged Golden Crow wasn't as powerful as the peak bug clan that left the Demon Worm Forbidden Land countless years ago, it had long since entered the peak of the peak of the ninth step.    

It was originally the will of the Heavenly Dao of a major world named the Golden Crow.    

Before that Golden Crow world completely collapsed and was devoured by the endless flow of Void, that Three-legged Golden Crow devoured all the stars in that world.    

It was precisely because of this that he was invited by more than thirty of the stronger Heavenly Daos in the alliance this time, and was invited to be the leader to deal with Ye Xuan.    

Ye Xuan had the Nine-coloured Flame Sea in his hands, and only by devouring an endless amount of stars, would he be able to resist the power of the Flame Sea, after transforming his own body into a Black Gold Sun's Three-legged Golden Crow ? matter    

In fact, this has already been proven.    

Previously, when Ye Xuan was in a dire situation, he had immediately activated the Rainbow Flame Sea to transform into a giant fireball to protect his body. At that time, it was the Three-legged Golden Crow that had destroyed the fireball, forcing Ye Xuan to lose his protection and to be forced to fight.    

But that time, although the Three-Legged Golden Crow attacked with all its might, it did not use its most powerful bloodline ability. And ?    

Now, seeing that the chaos within the Void had disappeared, Ye Xuan was able to leave anytime with ease while thinking about it. With extreme unwillingness, he suddenly took action, and it was naturally impossible for it to be an ordinary attack like before.    

"Slash ?" companion    

An incomparably deep humming sound rang out, and in the huge black gold sun, which was hundreds of millions of kilometers in front of Pang Da, a dark black light instantly bloomed. Its speed far exceeded that of lightning, and as it spread out, it seemed as if even the Void was melted as it emitted a distinct crackling sound that caused one's heart to palpitate ?    

This streak of black light could ignore everything. Once touched, everything would be destroyed. Instead, it was the essence refined from the World Exterminating Black Flame by the Three-legged Golden Crow. It had been refined within its body for many years, turning into a black curtain of light that slaughtered everything in its path ?
