131: Chapter 131 is over, now it's my turn!

Outside Chengtian Prefecture! Above the Soul Valley, a figure stood suspended in the Void Realm. It was hundreds of zhang tall, with five eyes and a single blood-colored horn atop its head. Its skin was a dark purple, covered in layers of rough, palm-sized Devilish Qi scales that resembled old tree bark, and its entire body was wreathed in thick, mist-like blood light.

The moment this demonic body solidified, its terrifying, baleful aura spread wantonly. The earth for a thousand miles around trembled and cracked continuously, with bottomless fissures spreading in every direction. Rivers and valleys were severed and diverted, while towering mountains nearby collapsed with a roar, sending rocks tumbling down as if the world were about to end.

Inside Chengtian Prefecture City, hundreds of miles away, chaos erupted instantly. Tens of millions of commoners and Martial Artists were simultaneously enveloped by this demonic aura originating from the abyss. Most people's legs went weak, causing them to collapse to the ground. Children cried incessantly, wares from street vendors were smashed all over the ground, and the streets were in an uproar, with people gripped by panic.

Even Martial Artists above the Innate Realm felt their blood freeze under this terrifying demonic aura. The circulation of True Qi within their bodies became sluggish, and they didn't even dare to conceive the thought of fighting back, only able to stare toward the Soul Valley with deathly pale faces.

"It's over. The Ancient Demon Emperor has descended, and that Senior hasn't achieved a Breakthrough yet!"

More than a hundred miles away, facing this terrifying demonic aura, even experts as strong as Principal Beigong Mo and those at the Grandmaster Realm and Great Grandmaster Realm could no longer remain suspended in the Void Realm. One by one, they landed on the ground, their faces deathly pale. Looking at the terrifying demonic body of the Ancient Demon Emperor and the tiny, motionless figure standing before it, expressions of unwillingness and despair surfaced on their faces.

"Hum!!!~~~" Suddenly, the Ancient Demon Emperor's five blood-colored vertical pupils widened abruptly. Five scarlet, blinding beams of light erupted from its eyes, their sharpness tearing through the thick Devilish Qi nearby. The space along their path rippled with black, spiderweb-like cracks, and everything in their wake was reduced to dust. Finally, these five beams of blood light slammed into a massive mountain over a thousand zhang tall, hundreds of miles away.

Boom!!!~~ A heaven-shaking roar rocked the earth! The entire towering mountain exploded instantly from base to peak. Debris and soil, accompanied by thick smoke and dust, shot into the sky. The mountain for several miles around simply dissolved into nothingness, leaving behind only a bare, massive crater, with rock fragments falling like a torrential downpour. Just by opening its eyes, it had shattered a towering mountain with a single blow! The might of the Ancient Demon Emperor was truly terrifying!

"Hiss!!!~~" On a mountain peak a hundred miles away, Principal Beigong Mo, along with various heads and professors from the Prefectural Academy, as well as the later arrivals Patriarch Shen Canglan, Grandmaster Pei Wendao, and other experts, felt their entire bodies go cold as they witnessed this scene, and they all gasped.

"How, how are we supposed to fight this?!" Grandmaster Pei Wendao looked at the vanished mountain, swallowing hard. Watching that terrifying demonic body, a look of fear flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but slowly retreat.

"What's the matter, Old Ghost Pei? Are you scared and planning to flee the battlefield?!" Patriarch Shen Canglan, who was standing nearby, saw Grandmaster Pei Wendao's actions and sneered.

"Pah! Old Monster Shen, who are you saying is scared?!" Hearing Patriarch Shen Canglan's words and feeling the gazes of those around him, Grandmaster Pei Wendao braced himself and said, "At worst, it's just death. It's not like I haven't been to the Northern Territory to slay Ancient Demons before!"

"Heh, I suppose you still have some backbone!" Patriarch Shen Canglan looked at Grandmaster Pei Wendao and teased with a laugh, "Even if you wanted to run now, it's too late. An Emperor Realm expert can destroy heaven and earth with a single movement and cover a thousand miles with a single thought. Unless you can flee a thousand miles away in an instant!"

"I know that naturally, Old Monster Shen; you don't need to run your mouth!" Grandmaster Pei Wendao glared at Patriarch Shen Canglan indignantly.

"Retreating is useless. The Ancient Demon Emperor has emerged; without an Emperor Realm expert to stop it, it will surely slaughter all living things!" Principal Beigong Mo took a deep breath, gazing at the demonic body ahead, and said, "When the nest is overturned, how can any egg remain intact?!"

"This battle is a war of races. As Martial Artists of the Human Race, with danger looming, we must do our utmost to stop this demonic catastrophe. Even if it means sacrificing our lives, we will not hesitate!"

"Hahaha!!!" Hearing Principal Beigong Mo's words, Patriarch Shen Canglan laughed heartily and said, "Brother Bei Gong is right. As Martial Artists, why should we fear death?!"

"Chengtian Prefecture is my home. Even if I die, I will die here!" Grandmaster Pei Wendao said as well. Headmaster Mo Xuanchen, Headmistress Su Qingyi, and the others also let go of their fear at this moment, gazing with resolute faces at the terrifying world-destroying demonic body in the Void Realm.

The Ancient Demon Emperor opened its eyes, its gaze sweeping across the entire world. Upon seeing the state of the mountains and earth, a flash of joy crossed the center of its five giant eyes, which resembled five blood moons. "Ke! Ke! Ke!!!~~~" "I have finally arrived!!!" "I can already smell the scent of food!"

"Eh? There's actually a bug here?!" Suddenly, the Ancient Demon Emperor's gaze fell, and it saw the tiny figure before it, which looked like an ant. A cold look flashed in its eyes, and then a beam of blood light nearly ten zhang long erupted from one of its blood eyes, shooting violently toward that figure.

After doing this, the Ancient Demon Emperor withdrew its gaze, not bothering to look again. In its view, it was just a Martial King Realm ant; a casual beam of blood light from itself was enough to reduce it to ashes. It wasn't worth wasting any more effort. It greedily took a deep breath, sensing the rich scent of Human Race blood and Qi in the air, its five blood eyes filled with covetousness. Over a thousand years! A full thousand years! It hadn't enjoyed a satisfying feast of Human Race blood for a full thousand years. This time, it would definitely eat to its heart's content!

However, before it could act, a faint yet incredibly clear sound of thunder reached its ears. It looked down and saw a flash of purple lightning surging. The blood light that it had assumed could casually crush a Martial King Realm ant, upon meeting this flash of purple lightning, vanished without a trace as if ice meeting a scorching sun, not even leaving a single mark behind.

"Hmm?" The grinning Ancient Demon Emperor paused abruptly, the smile on its face suddenly stiffening. It turned its head in some confusion, its five blood eyes falling on Chen An once again, a trace of surprise flashing in its eyes. That beam of blood light just now, although only a casual blow, was enough to instantly kill any Martial King Realm Martial Artist. How could this Human Race ant possibly block it?!

"A bit interesting!" The Ancient Demon Emperor curled its lips into a cruel and playful smile. "I didn't expect such an interesting bug to be hiding here. Since one beam couldn't kill you, I'll add a little more flavor for you!"

As the words fell, the Ancient Demon Emperor's other four blood eyes lit up simultaneously. Four blood-colored beams of light, several times thicker than the previous one, shot toward Chen An at the same time. The four beams of blood light intertwined in the air to form a massive blood net, sealing off all of Chen An's space for evasion. "This time, let's see what you use to block it!" the Ancient Demon Emperor sneered.

However, facing this overwhelming blood net, Chen An remained standing in place, motionless. He slowly raised his head, looking at the Ancient Demon Emperor. His eyes, which had always been calm and unruffled, suddenly lit up, as if endless thunder were surging within them. "Have you had enough fun?" "If you've had enough, then it's my turn!" As the words fell! Boom!!!~~~ A thunderous roar that shook heaven and earth erupted, and brilliant purple lightning instantly obscured the entire world...
