"What kind of monster is this?!" everyone exclaimed in shock.
Even though they already knew a more powerful being existed in the divine realm, no one expected it to look like this. The moment it appeared, a terrifying pressure descended as if the heavens and earth were collapsing. Dust and stones flew, suffocating everyone and forcing them to retreat.
This headless monster forcibly squeezed through the entrance to the divine realm. Its colossal body caused the space at the edges of the entrance to crack and shatter. Gale-force winds blew from the void, shooting out like sharp blades.
Everyone dodged, feeling the howling wind. Every movement the monster made caused the ground to tremble, and powerful energy surged.
The maw on its belly continuously devoured, its sharp teeth tearing into Molojia, causing him to bleed profusely and cry out in agony.
No one had anticipated such an end for the dignified Lord of the Demonic Sect.
The monster took a step forward, scanning its surroundings as if unfamiliar with this space.
With just that one step, it almost crushed Su Luo. The giants around them scattered, their faces filled with vigilance. The ground cracked into countless fissures, forming ravines. Boulders tumbled into the abyss, making it impossible for anyone to stand steadily, forcing them to take flight. The potent fluctuations spread out like ripples, kicking up dust that obscured vision.
At the closest moment to the monster, Su Luo saw its name through her Divine Eye: Xingtian.
"The ancient demon king Xingtian!" she blurted out.
Li Tianjue, standing beside Su Luo, heard her clearly and was somewhat shocked, "Xingtian?"
He recalled seeing records of ancient demon gods in an old text, such as the water god Nan Kui Shi, the fire god Miao Jia, and the demon king Xingtian, all of whom were top-tier powerhouses from ancient times. They dominated for millennia, were invincible in battle, and each possessed their ultimate secret techniques and divine artifacts.
Especially their lives, which had reached immortality, making them impossible to kill, only sealable.
Su Luo couldn't see any other information about Xingtian, unable to ascertain its weaknesses. However, this confirmed that this Xingtian was a true ancient demon king, so powerful that her Divine Eye couldn't detect its full capabilities.
Bai Yanshu shielded Bai Qi and a few disciples behind him, staring intently at the ancient demon king that towered like a mountain.
Xingtian, this was the terrifying creature he had glimpsed at the divine realm entrance four years ago.
And now, it had finally emerged again.
"Everyone, retreat! Quickly retreat! Leave this place immediately!" Bai Yanshu ordered. He knew this headless monster was impossible to defeat. Even if he couldn't win, he would hold on until the last moment to buy others a chance to survive.
"Master..." Chu Tianshu clenched his divine sword, standing his ground, refusing to leave.
"It's... it's just a monster, what's so scary about it..." Lu Jixing tried to bluff, but under the immense pressure, even finishing a coherent sentence was incredibly difficult.
"Roar—!"
The mouth on Xingtian's belly suddenly opened, and a roar erupted from its gaping maw. A strong, putrid smell wafted over like a toxic gas, making everyone dizzy. They quickly held their breath and retreated further.
Molojia had been completely devoured, but its eyes grew redder. It seemed to have relished the taste of blood, its gaze sweeping over the corpses of blood-kissed Pterodactyls on the ground, its mood gradually escalating.
"Urasho!" the giant Abu also roared.
Friend, this is a formidable enemy. I feel a powerful threat. We must eliminate it!
Even the now-powerful giants dared not underestimate Xingtian. Each holding a massive club, they stood ready, yet not a single one dared to make the first move. Su Luo understood that this was the true enemy they had to face.
The danger had been unleashed. There was no other option but to fight with all their might.
Before Su Luo could give the order, the giants, sensing the dire threat, grabbed their massive clubs and attacked Xingtian.
The sounds of roaring continued, heavy footsteps causing the earth to quake and crack. The colossal roars were like the beating of war drums, deafening. The giants charged fiercely towards Xingtian, only to hear a chilling roar. Xingtian's enormous mouth opened, emitting a powerful suction that drew the nearest giant into its maw.
*Crunch, crunch!*
Xingtian unceremoniously grabbed a giant and began to chew, blood splattering.
Although the giants were large, they still appeared small compared to Xingtian's height. Its mouth, filled with blood, was like a bloodthirsty demon. The giant, amidst its screams, was quickly swallowed, sending chills down everyone's spines.
Even the giants were no match. How terrifying! Truly worthy of being called an ancient demon god!
Xingtian's actions did not scare the giants away; instead, it ignited their fury. All the giants roared and charged forward, their massive clubs striking Xingtian relentlessly. It staggered, its colossal body swaying, taking two steps back as if losing its balance.
"Roar!"
Xingtian let out a roar, its sonic waves rolling, causing cracks to appear in space.
The giants, passing through these cracks, were cut by the gale-force winds blowing from the void, their skin bleeding profusely, yet none retreated. Their eyes seemed to have turned red with rage, determined to eliminate this terrible enemy that had harmed their kin.
"Abu, be careful!"
Su Luo knew this was a fight to the death. Her eyes sharpened, and she let Abu carry her forward.
Divine Seal Art!
She was willing to expend her life force to temporarily seal Xingtian, giving the giants a chance to finish it.
Li Tianjue and the others watched with hearts in their mouths. He shouted, "Luoluo, come back! You're not allowed to go!"
No matter what she intended to do, it was too dangerous. Even though he knew Su Luo had many skills, he didn't want to see her face such a terrifying demon god as Xingtian.
Li Tianjue flew forward, rushing towards her without regard. However, the giants' speed was too great, and they blocked his view. In an instant, Su Luo disappeared from sight.
"Junior Sister, hurry back! You can't fight this monstrous thing!" Chu Tianshu shouted anxiously. Gripping the Azure Dragon Sword, he too flew out, gritting his teeth and roaring, "Damn it, I'll kill you! At worst, we'll die together!"
Lu Jixing also became anxious. When Wen Daier rushed out, he followed Chu Tianshu.
Zhan Li waved his hand, releasing all the spirit pets from the Myriad Beasts Boundary Map without hesitation, including the blood ant army that had been nurtured for half a year.
Instantly, hundreds of spirit pets charged towards Xingtian. The army of tens of thousands of blood ants, like a moving red carpet, made rustling sounds. But after only a moment, they all stopped in place, their eyes filled with fear.
Even the spirit pets knew how terrifying Xingtian was, and for a moment, they dared not advance.
"Attack! Kill him!" Zhan Li commanded, wielding the power of his artifact. He also felt heartache for the spirit pets he had painstakingly subdued. Though he knew they couldn't defeat Xingtian and would only be going to their deaths, he disregarded everything.
Even if it meant destroying the Myriad Beasts Boundary Map or dying here himself, he just wanted to stop Xingtian for a moment.
Bai Yanshu also knew they had reached the most critical juncture. He glanced at Shang Xie Zhuo and Lady Yao Guang not far away and shouted, "Sirs, there is no time to delay. We must try to defeat Xingtian, or the entire Xuanhuang Continent will be destroyed by it."
Shang Xie Zhuo and Lady Yao Guang nodded simultaneously, "Alright, Sect Leader Bai. The three of us will join forces, hoping to kill Xingtian!"
The next moment, different colored spiritual lights illuminated their bodies.
With a resolve to die, three spiritual pearls slowly flew from their mouths. These were spiritual pearls condensed from their life's cultivation, the essence of their entire spiritual power.
Their radiance was dazzling, one red, one white, and one blue, like three small suns.
Just then, Shang Xie Shao Qing suddenly trembled. A familiar voice sounded in his mind, "Eh, why has it become like this just as I finished refining? Xingtian... Xingtian has even appeared. How much have I missed?"
