454: Crazy World

Boom!

The eyes formed by Ape Ancestor's soul read looked at Xu Qing with indifference, as the Myriad Daos wailed.

"Human Race? This Lord hates the Human Race the most. Back then, you were merely blood food for my race, yet you found an opportunity to rise. You all deserve to die!"

His voice was like a grand bell, resounding through the heavens. However, with the System's intervention, the sound was only heard by the beings within Burial Ape Ridge.

He was filled with hatred for Xu Qing. Originally, he had planned to make his move after Yuan Tongtian Broke through to Immortal Monarch. At that time, he could perform Possession on Yuan Tongtian and, with the remaining foundation of his former Physical Body, directly ascend to the Dao Ancestor realm.

But now, with Yuan Tongtian's premature sacrifice, even if he exhausted his foundation, he could at most achieve Half-Ancestor.

Though Dao Ancestor and Half-Ancestor are only a half-step apart, that half-step is like a chasm.

"Die!"

A murderous roar exploded throughout Burial Ape Ridge, shaking ancient and modern times, causing countless turbulent waves in the sea of mist hovering above the world.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Ancient mountain ranges collapsed and shattered due to the unbearable sound of immense power, and all life within them was plundered by some overbearing force.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

"Who knows where this Human Race came from, daring to enter Burial Ape Ridge? Does he not know that the Senior most detests the Human Race?"

"His strength is indeed formidable; even Yuan Tongtian sacrificed himself. But it's a pity he overestimates himself!"

"Who isn't?"

"After today, the Human Race will lose a powerhouse!"

The Forbidden Zone Overlords of Burial Ape Ridge discussed amongst themselves.

"Boom!"

Just then, the Myriad Daos suddenly rumbled.

A towering, immensely vast aura erupted from Xu Qing, suppressing Burial Ape Ridge and causing the Myriad Daos to whimper. This aura even penetrated the mist and spread outwards.

Immediately, brilliant light illuminated the universe, startling countless ancient beings.

"Hiss!"

"This aura... no, this isn't that old fellow's!"

"Could it be that someone..."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Those ancient beings showed surprise, initially thinking Ape Ancestor had revived, but they never expected someone to have broken into Burial Ape Ridge.

They wanted to see the scene inside, but upon seeing the mist, they could only give up for the time being.

That mist was already powerful enough to block the investigation of a first-step Dao Ancestor.

It wasn't that the Ancient Land of Dao lacked Dao Ancestors above the first step, but such figures were all in slumber and wouldn't care about the affairs of Burial Ape Ridge.

Vaguely, they could only see a supreme figure, towering between heaven and earth, surrounded by Chaos light, with worlds rising and falling within the Chaos light behind him.

Within Burial Ape Ridge, all beings prostrated themselves, even those Forbidden Zone Overlords, trembling incessantly.

"Damn it, you're actually at the Half-Ancestor realm!"

Ape Ancestor's soul read was in disbelief.

"Boom!"

Xu Qing took a step forward, and billions of Chaos divine lights emerged. A supreme power swept out, annihilating all the attacks formed by Ape Ancestor's soul read.

"You talk too much!" Xu Qing frowned. "I'm giving you time, hurry up and perform Possession. This Lord hasn't fought anyone since he came out of seclusion, and you barely qualify!"

Xu Qing had another sentence he didn't say: killing him now wouldn't maximize the benefit. He would wait for the other party to Fuse with Yuan Tongtian, reach his peak strength, and then he would step in to reap the rewards.

"Ah ah ah! Arrogant! You infuriate this Lord!"

Upon hearing this, Ape Ancestor's soul read roared in anger.

"Madness engulfs the world!"

Then, a roar, as if from eternity, swept across the world, nurturing the Dao of Madness.

"Roar!!!"

All living beings within the entire Forbidden Zone, whether Yao Race, Vicious Beast, Transcendent, or those Forbidden Zone Overlords, all had blood-red eyes and lost all reason!

The tide of madness had arrived!

The surviving demonic ape descendants in Blood Ape Cave were the first to go berserk. They bit their own kind, their sharp claws piercing chests, blood splattering, yet they did not stop, as if only slaughter could quell the restlessness within them.

The bone Yao Beasts of the Bone Tomb Yao Nation clattered their bones. They no longer controlled skeletons but directly pounced on the nearest living creatures, biting off their heads and devouring their Dao souls.

The old ape from Soul Devouring Abyss rushed out of the abyss, sweeping its hands, pushing aside countless mountains and crushing numerous mad Yao Race, but its own flesh and blood were also peeling off, yet it still attacked everything madly.

The demonic plant vines of Mad Blood Forest shot out like venomous snakes, coiling around Yao Beasts, sucking their essence blood dry, but soon they were torn to shreds by even stronger mad ones... The entire Burial Ape Ridge completely devolved into a Shura field!

Blood rained down, severed limbs were everywhere, and the brutal slaughter had no camps, no reason, only the most primitive desire for killing!

"Thump thump thump!"

From deep within the earth came a dull heartbeat, as if the entire Forbidden Zone pulsed with Ape Ancestor's will.

"Boom boom boom—"

The ground of Burial Ape Ridge began to collapse, and streaks of bloody cracks spread, devouring all life one by one, then surging into Yuan Tongtian's body.

Xu Qing stood above the sea of blood, looking at this doomsday-like scene, his expression still calm.

He didn't care if all the Yao Race here died out.

"Boom—!!!"

Yuan Tongtian's body was like a bottomless abyss, frantically devouring the life force of Burial Ape Ridge.

The entire Burial Ape Ridge trembled violently at this moment, and countless bloody light pillars erupted from the ground, turning into surging torrents that poured into his body.

Majestic mountains collapsed and weathered at a visible speed, rocks turning into dust, as if millions of years of essence had been drained.

Vast lakes boiled violently, their water levels rapidly dropping, revealing mountains of piled corpses at the bottom of the sea, which also quickly decayed.

All kinds of demonic plants withered, their leaves falling with mournful shrieks, like struggling dying creatures.

The entire world was wailing!

"Not enough... still not enough!"

Yuan Tongtian roared to the sky, his voice completely transformed into another entity.

It turned out that Ape Ancestor's soul read had already Fused with Yuan Tongtian without anyone noticing.

Xu Qing was too lazy to bother with his little trick. He had said he would let the other party Breakthrough to his heart's content, so he wouldn't intervene.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, he spread his arms, and the space within Burial Ape Ridge shattered inch by inch, as more surging life force poured in from all parts of the Forbidden Zone.

The next moment, his gaze locked onto the Forbidden Zone Overlords who were currently fighting.

His figure shot out like a bloody lightning bolt, instantly appearing before the old ape. This old ape, who had dominated the Forbidden Zone for several epochs, didn't even have time to react before its head was twisted off!

"Gulp... gulp..."

Ape Ancestor devoured the old ape's flesh and blood. With each mouthful, his aura surged, and the headless corpse quickly withered, eventually turning into flying ash.

His movements didn't stop, and his figure reappeared beside the bone Yao Beast.

This Forbidden Zone Overlord, who ruled a region, had just dealt with his surrounding enemies when a claw pierced his skull, and his entire bone body was crushed, transforming into endless essence that was completely absorbed.

"The third..."

"The fourth..."

... The entire Burial Ape Ridge became his hunting ground!

Those Forbidden Zone Overlords, usually renowned for their ferocity, were now like lambs to the slaughter, falling one after another.

When the last Forbidden Zone Overlord was completely devoured, the entire Burial Ape Ridge had become a desolate, silent wasteland.

At this moment, Yuan Tongtian's original Physical Body had undergone terrifying changes. His entire body's fur turned blood-red, constantly dripping thick fresh blood, which corroded the ground into large holes wherever it fell.

A third eye split open on his forehead, its pupils reflecting a crazed look, and behind him, a surging sea of blood emerged, each wave containing the power to destroy stars.

"Boom!!!"

Ape Ancestor's aura reached the limit of an Immortal Monarch. This was the Half-Ancestor realm, a terrifying aura that transcended Immortal Monarchs and swept across the eight directions!
