These ancient beasts were a kind of ferocious beast bred by the Soul Demon. Each of them was as huge as a star, savage, and possessed strength no weaker than a high-grade G.o.d King.
They were war machines with great destructive power, a devastating nightmare for a civilization. In particular, their barbed tails contained strange energy capable of destroying arrays, which made them unstoppable defense-breaking weapons in war.
Rumble!
In the starry sky, the three enormous ancient beasts roared as their barbed tails slammed down and crashed onto the array like giant sledgehammers. The huge array that enveloped the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s capital began to tremble violently.
The array was built with hundreds of millions of source stones, and it cost a lot of source stones to defend against each attack. Even so, it was as fragile as paper.
The three barbed tails sank deep into the array, and then the beasts began to pull their tails, tearing large gashes in it. These gashes could not be healed at all, and gradually, they became bigger and bigger. Eventually, the whole array burst apart with a deafening rumble!
All the people in the capital raised their heads at the same time to look at the shattered array. They only saw a brilliant light, and their eyes were filled with confusion. The broken array was emitting a colorful glow and looked quite dazzling.
The moment the array shattered, the warriors and guards hovering in midair over the capital focused their eyes.
In the imperial palace, the Xiayi Divine Emperor flew up into the sky in a combat outfit, holding a square jade seal in his hand. It was the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s divine artifact called the Divine Emperor Seal. Its power was extremely terrible, and it was even stronger than the Heavenly Phoenix Plumes.
As soon as the Divine Emperor showed up, all the warriors’ spirits were lifted as if their main backbone had appeared.
Black Armor and Gold Armor flew over as two streams of light, standing at the Divine Emperor’s left and right like two guardian G.o.ds. One of them held a sword while the other held a knife, both of them unleas.h.i.+ng towering sword energy and knife energy that filled the sky.
The colorful light soon faded away. Then, what emerged was an army of Soul Demons. A pale bone wars.h.i.+p and three behemoth-like ancient beasts formed a mind-blowing army. The air was filled with deafening roars, while a monstrous demonic aura instantly blotted out the sky.
“A mere squad also wants to destroy the capital of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty?!”
The Xiayi Divine Emperor’s eyes were cold. Old as he was, his might was still there. After the HeavenG.o.d’s calamity, he had spent some time recuperating, so his strength was now stabilized. He was not at all afraid of these Soul Demons.
With a flip of his hand, the Divine Emperor Seal rushed out. Under the control of his mental force, the seal rotated in midair, sprinkling heavy streams of light toward those huge ancient beasts in the distance. He wanted to crush an ancient beast in an instant.
However, since these Soul Demons dared to attack the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s capital, they were certainly prepared. It was impossible for them not to know the Xiayi Divine Emperor’s strength. Yet, they still dared to come here, and that only meant that they had powerful trump cards up their sleeves.
Facing the Divine Emperor Seal, a sharp whistle rang out from the pale bone wars.h.i.+p. Then, an existence, who was hiding previously, sprang to life and let out a howl. It was also a fierce beast, but it was much smaller than the ancient beasts, which were as huge as stars. It was about the height of an average person.
After shooting out from the wars.h.i.+p, it tore through the sky with great speed and instantly collided with the Divine Emperor Seal. A terrifying rumble immediately rang out as the seal seemed to be on the verge of bursting apart, emitting incomparably violent energy fluctuations.
In midair, the Divine Emperor put his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed. “What is that thing?” With a thought in his mind, the seal quickly flew back and hovered over his hand. His pupils constricted when he saw a corroded mark on its surface…
‘These Soul Demons’ tricks are too weird!’
“Hehehe… Humans are our food, so naturally, we have a way of dealing with food!”
On the back of one of the great beasts, an expert whose entire body was covered in barbaric glyphs laughed out loud. As his scarlet eyes grew grimmer and grimmer, he gave a shriek. Upon hearing his voice, one Soul Demon after another rushed out of the wars.h.i.+p.
Boom!
Suddenly, the void distorted, then a Keeper with insect scales all over his body showed up, emitting a terrifying aura as if he was capable of destroying heaven and earth. As soon as he appeared, he lunged straight for the Xiayi Divine Emperor.
The Divine Emperor was furious. With a shake of his hand, he once again flung out the seal. However, the black beast darted out once again and collided with the seal, corroding it and making it unable to exert its proper power at all.
“What creature is this?!” The Divine Emperor took a deep breath.
At this moment, the Keeper closed in. His whole body was covered with insect scales, which were all engraved with barbaric glyphs. He became even stronger than when he fought Bu Fang.
The Xiayi Divine Emperor’s eyes sparkled as the Power of Law fell on him, causing his aura to rise. As a G.o.d Emperor, he was naturally fearsome. Without hesitation, he threw a palm toward the Keeper.
A rumbling sound could be heard as a violent collision broke out in an instant. The Divine Emperor’s robe fluttered, and he began attacking with his Eight Barren Emperor Punch, suppressing the Keeper.
As the top existence in the G.o.d Emperor realm, his strength was not something anyone could underestimate. Even though he was old, the power he could exert was still very impressive, especially now that he was longer troubled by the calamity.
Therefore, it was somewhat difficult for a Keeper to deal with the Divine Emperor. Although he was able to counter the Divine Emperor’s attack, he was always at a disadvantage. However, the Soul Demon’s goal this time was to seriously injure the Divine Emperor. If they succeed, they would gain a huge advantage in this war…
Suddenly, with a rumbling sound, another Keeper flew out of the bone wars.h.i.+p. He raised the insect scale knife in his hand high and then ruthlessly slashed it downward. A terrifying black knife energy appeared at once, almost tearing the whole sky.
The Divine Emperor’s eyes shone like torches as he threw out another punch, his face showing no hint of fear.
Violent explosions kept breaking out, accompanied by deafening rumbling. For a moment, the Divine Emperor and the two Keepers were at each other’s throats.
Meanwhile, Gold Armor and Black Armor roared and rushed out, brandis.h.i.+ng their knife and sword!
“Attack!”
As they roared, the guards left behind in the capital all rose into the sky and rushed toward the pale bone wars.h.i.+p and the huge ancient beasts without fear of death!
The ancient beasts were just too big. Their enormous size turned them into giant meat grinders in war. With each sweep of their tails, they always killed a large number of experts. Many human experts were simply unable to resist such a terrible attack. If they were touched by those tails, they would explode into a b.l.o.o.d.y mist.
After the human experts were killed, the ancient beasts opened their mouths wide and began to devour the souls of the slain. They ate these experts as if they were food!
The Soul Demons sitting on the backs of the huge monsters laughed excitedly. The smell of blood was all around them, and it seemed to stimulate their blood and make them more and more excited.
In fact, the Soul Demon had bred only six ancient beasts in this Chaotic Universe, yet they had sent three of them to attack the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s capital. This showed that they attached great importance to this battle. They believed that the capital would definitely suffer a heavy blow with three ancient beasts.
Gold Armor’s gaze was icy cold. As a top-grade G.o.d King in the divine dynasty, he was as strong as ever. Black Armor’s strength was slightly weaker, so he could only hold the rear to guide the army.
An all-out war broke out.
Although the size of the ancient beasts was huge, it was precisely because of this that the human experts had a bit of an advantage. They jumped on the back of one of the beasts and raced along its tail to its head. Their target was the Soul Demon who controlled the ancient beast.
The Soul Demon knew what they were trying to do, but he was still sneering disdainfully.
The ancient beast swayed its body. The next moment, its scales suddenly shone with a dark l.u.s.ter. The pupils of Gold Armor, who was holding his sword in midair, constricted abruptly. Under the l.u.s.ter, his golden armor seemed to darken!
Suddenly, the ma.s.sive ancient beast’s scales began to tremble, sending a chill down the spines of all the experts who were running wildly across its back.
The next moment, one sharp bone spike after another shot out from under their feet, piercing them from their soles to their heads in an instant. A black aura permeated the air, and in just the blink of an eye, the humans who were pierced were drained of their energy and blood and became piles of bones. After absorbing the nutrients from the human bodies, the ancient beast began to grow larger…
Gold Armor’s eyes were red. There were many human experts on the ancient beast’s back, but they all died in an instant. Only those mid-grade G.o.d Kings and above were able to barely resist the bone spikes. Even so, they could not stop the Soul Demon’s attack.
These ancient beasts were really difficult to deal with. No wonder they were the Soul Demon’s weapon of war.
On another battlefield in the sky, the Divine Emperor and the two Keepers were fighting fiercely. One Keeper might not be a match for the Divine Emperor, but when the two teamed up, they were basically on par with him.
‘Is Soul Thirteen not here? Is he hiding in the shadows, ready to give me a fatal blow?’
The Xiayi Divine Emperor threw a punch as if he were about to shatter the stars. There was a dazzling light on his fist, which was actually the Power of Law. The two Keepers were forced back by the blow, but they immediately counterattacked.
Within moments, the whole sky was filled with rumbling, b.e.s.t.i.a.l roars, and the sound of explosions.
…
The normally busy capital of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty had become unusually quiet. People were hiding in their houses and looking up at the battle in the sky, trembling. The blood that spilled down from the sky from time to time seemed to be composing a dirge.
In the restaurant on the top floor of the Luo Family’s skysc.r.a.per, Bu Fang wiped his hands, lifted the kitchen curtain, and slowly walked out. There were no more customers in the restaurant. Everyone seemed to have gone to focus on the battle.
He put his hands behind his back and walked to the door, where he stood looking up at the sky. The Luo Family’s skysc.r.a.per was very tall. With Bu fang’s eyesight, he could even see the human experts being blown up and the spilling of blood.
At some point, Nethery had drifted over and stood behind him.
The Xiayi crown prince clenched his fists, his eyes red. If it were not for his status as a waiter, he would have soared into the sky and fought side by side with the Divine Emperor now!
Bu Fang gave a sidelong glance at the agitated crown prince and sighed. “You want to go?”
“The enemy is at our door… As a crown prince, do I have the reason not to fight?” The crown prince clenched his fists, his blood surging.
Bu Fang nodded, then turned back to look at the sky. He did not like those Soul Demons either. They almost killed him in the t.i.tan Divine Dynasty.
“Then go ahead…” Bu Fang said.
The Xiayi crown prince’s eyes lit up. He gave Bu fang a deep look and then made a bow. He felt that Bu Fang had earned his respect.
The next moment, the crown prince roared, then with a flip of his hand, a dragon knife fell into his grip. He kicked the ground and was about to soar into the sky when a fair hand suddenly pressed down on his shoulder, holding his body down.
He felt so depressed that he almost vomited blood. He looked over his shoulder, only to see that it was Bu Fang who was holding him down.
“You plan to go like this? It’s not that I’m looking down on you, but… with your strength, you can’t kill many Soul Demons,” Bu Fang said seriously.
The Xiayi crown prince looked confused. Then, in his confused gaze, he saw Bu Fang’s hand shake, and a bowl of stinky tofu instantly appeared in his grip.
A strong stench instantly burrowed into his nostrils, and his face turned yellow in a flash.
The Xiayi crown prince’s eyes were full of grief. Did Bu Fang mean for him to kill those Soul Demons with stinky tofu? He’s gone insane!
