I headed out with the team to kill zombies yesterday; just got back today, so updates will continue. …… Jin Huan didn't question Ye Chen's words in the slightest.
Immediately, her figure flashed, appearing beside the distant Jin Long, and she swiftly commanded, "Notify all Ancestral God Generals—snipe the evil beasts trapped in the cages." Jin Long looked at the ten colossal cages dragged onto the battlefield by the Ancient God Clan, his heart heavy. Though they were far away, the malevolent killing aura emanating from these ten cages blanketed the entire battlefield, as if they were ten gigantic beasts of slaughter, looking down upon the feast spread before them!
That's right—a feast. Just how immense were the bodies of the Ancient God Clan?
Yet, the beasts within these ten cages dwarfed even them, reaching nearly a hundred million kilometers in size. If any one of them stepped down, who could possibly withstand it?
"Mankind looks down on ants; the Ancient Gods look down on humanity. Truly worthy of their legendary status.
These must be the Ten Great Evil Beasts cultivated by the Ancient God Clan." Jin Long nodded solemnly, advancing toward the very front of the battle, directly using his divine sense to communicate across millions of miles, summoning the Ancestral God Generals who were already lying in wait along the city walls. "The Ten Great Evil Beasts.
It seems we are the ones who must act." "I never expected the Ancient God Clan to be this domineering, deploying the Ten Great Evil Beasts right as the battle commences." The figures of the 72 Ancestral God Generals shimmered, assembling high above the city walls, suspended beneath the dim, heavy sky, resembling seventy-two deities. Each radiated thick energy ripples, causing everyone watching from the ramparts to be deeply shaken, their eyes blazing with intense light.
"Roar!" A heaven-shaking roar suddenly erupted from the battlefield. The black iron chains binding the ten colossal cages began to move slowly, like divine dragons, gradually unlocking the cage doors.
Bang! A massive claw covered in pitch-black fur stepped out from within a cage.
The very ground of the battlefield seemed to tremble. Everyone gathered on the ramparts, even the less powerful cultivators at the Demigod Realm, could clearly make out the appearance of these ten giant beasts—as clear as viewing the moon from Earth.
The ten beasts consisted of nine gigantic azure pythons, three Fire Phoenixes, a strange monster with the head of an ox and the body of a serpent, a gigantic lion covered in sharp fur, and so forth. The body of every single one was larger than the Ancient God Clan themselves!
As the ten beasts stepped out of their prisons, their bloodthirsty, crimson pupils glinted with a strange and cruel light. They threw back their heads and let out a long cry, immediately rocketing towards the battlefield.
Boom boom! With a single swipe of a claw, a large swath of the dense battlefield was instantly torn open, much like a person walking into an anthill.
"We move!" The Seventy-Two Ancestral God Generals each uttered a low cry. Their figures shot out like lightning, transforming into seventy-two streams of flowing light, sweeping across the sky as they charged directly toward the ten giant beasts.
"World Power, empower my body! The power of all beings, forge me into a sharp sword!" The Seventy-Two Ancestral God Generals simultaneously roared towards the heavens, their tremendous sound wave spreading across the entire battlefield like a nuclear explosion.
Creatures within a light-year radius could clearly hear this resonant sound. Buzz—the void of the entire Ancient World seemed to tremble momentarily.
Countless torrents of World Power surged, converging toward the seventy-two figures. As the most powerful disciples personally nurtured by the Ancient War Venerable, the Venerable had invested considerable effort in each of them.
Every single one had reached the realm of World Supreme. Combined, the World Power they could mobilize accounted for nearly ten percent of the entire Ancient World's total!
Though only ten percent, the resulting might was already enough to shock the heavens and shake the earth. Auspicious colored clouds materialized in the sky, and robust power vaporized from the ground, adding a layer of armor to each figure.
Swish swish swish—everyone on the ramparts could only see seventy-two streaks of light flashing through the sky, weaving like interconnected stars. Immediately afterward, every hostile beast on the battlefield suddenly and without warning disintegrated, exploding into large chunks of fragmented flesh flying everywhere.
The warriors engaged in combat with the monsters were instantly splattered with this minced flesh, appearing as if bathed in blood, their hair sticky with gore. Bang!
The massive body of an Ancient God Clan member crashed down heavily. A mountain-sized hole appeared on the Ancient God Clan member’s chest, from which thick blood gushed out, splashing onto the ground.
Instant kill! Everyone stared, eyes wide open!
The Ancient God Clan member, moments ago so majestic and immense, like an ancient God of War, had now been dispatched by just one of these seventy-two streaks of light as it flashed past! Powerful!
Everyone felt their blood boiling, their hearts burning fiercely hot. Just then, the ten beasts that had broken free from their cages roared violently and lunged toward the seventy-two streaks of light with astonishing speed.
Bang! One streak of light was slapped down by a paw from a lion-like monster, crashing heavily into the ground like a comet, gouging out a massive pit spanning ten kilometers in radius.
Everyone felt their breath catch. They had not expected the strength of these giant beasts to be so terrifying; one slap was enough to send flying the streak of light that had just instantly slain an Ancient God Clan member.
What kind of power was that? Most people on the ramparts were at the Pseudo-God or God Realm.
They had occasionally heard from their elders that there were God Emperor powerhouses in this world and assumed that was the peak of human potential, never imagining that the power displayed by both the several thousand mysterious warriors earlier and these seventy-two streams of light surpassed the limits of their understanding. God Emperors were nothing compared to this!
As everyone was in shock, the stream of light that had been knocked down suddenly burst out of the deep pit, weaving together with the others as they converged on one of the evil beasts, encircling its body and launching volley after volley of World Power attacks against it. "Extraterrestrial Meteorite!" "Cloud Fire Incinerates the World!" The Seventy-Two Ancestral God Generals each unleashed their formidable attacks.
The color of heaven and earth changed; the dim, pervasive clouds instantly turned blood-red as if scorched by fire. The temperature throughout the realm soared abruptly, and streams of flames carrying terrifying heat shot down from the sky, striking the bodies of the giant beasts, leaving scorched marks on their scales or fur.
Furthermore, meteorites the size of planets plummeted from the high heavens, causing the beasts' bodies to shudder slightly. The planet-sized meteorites that shattered upon impact landed on the ground, piling up like city walls, effectively blocking the monster army behind them!
Every seven individuals were assigned to one evil beast, attacking its head, its legs, or its back. Their speed was breathtaking; even the Ten Great Evil Beasts were momentarily thrown into disarray.
Ye Chen gazed at the battlefield, his brow slightly furrowed. He turned to Jin Huan beside him and said, "Go and help.
Take care of one of the evil beasts." Jin Huan was momentarily stunned but nodded, "Understood." Then, her figure soared upward, stepping through the void toward one of the Three-Headed Fire Phoenixes. Her golden hair cascaded over her shoulders like ocean waves.
Her sea-blue eyes, full-bodied crimson lips, and long, fair legs made her appear like a goddess in everyone’s sight, exuding nobility and aloofness. With every step, a lotus pedestal blossomed, allowing her to traverse distances of millions of meters.
The previously chaotic and brutal battlefield seemed to transform into a paradise upon her appearance. Everyone could see illusory flowers, strange fragrant herbs, and phantom-like butterflies and dragonflies drifting around Jin Huan’s body.
It was as if she were strolling through a garden rather than going into battle. That elegant and noble figure was indelibly etched into everyone’s minds.
Only now did they realize that such a powerful individual, a figure of unparalleled grace and captivating allure, existed among humanity! Everyone's hearts filled with hope!
"Life is tiresome; return to the origin," Jin Huan said, arriving before the Three-Headed Fire Phoenix, her expression charming. She extended a slender, jade-like finger and tapped it.
The Three-Headed Fire Phoenix, which had been coping adequately against the seven streams of light, suddenly felt its body restrained by an immense force. "Screech—" All three of its phoenix heads tilted back to cry out, struggling with all their might.
Violence and terror flickered in its crimson eyes. This overwhelmingly powerful force was something it had only felt from the being who had locked it into the cage!
"Go now," Jin Huan's gentle voice sounded like she was lulling a child to sleep. A deep violet light flashed in her eyes, suddenly transforming into a ray that pierced the Three-Headed Fire Phoenix's heart.
The Three-Headed Fire Phoenix let out a mournful cry, its enormous body crashing down heavily. Based on its mass alone, its impact on the ground would have triggered an earthquake, even given the geological hardness of the Ancient Continent.
The seven streaks of light surrounding its body, without a word, each unleashed their World Power, forming countless wind blades that chaotically sliced into the body of the Three-Headed Fire Phoenix. Before it could fully land, it was reduced to a pile of shredded meat.
"You all go assist the others," Jin Huan glanced at the seven streams of light, then turned and strolled back, descending gracefully beside Ye Chen under the fervent gaze of everyone on the ramparts. With Jin Huan’s return, everyone also noticed Ye Chen.
This man had black hair fluttering wildly in the fierce wind, his hands clasped behind his back, his black robes slightly raised. He exuded a cold, detached aura, like a divine blade poised to dominate the heavens, carrying arrogant dominance and icy reserve.
"Is this man stronger than that golden-haired goddess?" "Look at how the golden-haired goddess stands beside him; she seems quite apprehensive of him!" "Who exactly is he?" Everyone was shocked. They had previously thought Jin Huan was powerful enough, the supreme being of the human world, and being female, some even considered her a maternal creator figure.
Yet, here was someone even stronger than her! Shock!
Although this day marked the apocalypse for all humanity, everyone on the ramparts felt an incredible surge of excitement. Even combining everything they had experienced in their lives, nothing compared to the thrill of this day!
As everyone’s spirits lifted, the tide of the battle instantly reversed. Following the seven streaks of light that lunged together toward another evil beast, the combined strength of fourteen World Supremes directly slew that beast.
These fourteen Ancestral God Generals then moved to support the others, and soon, all Ten Great Evil Beasts were annihilated!
