Chapter 2011: King Who Lurks in the Darkness
At the easternmost point of the Tai Chu Continent.
This was a vast expanse of pure white light.
A shapely female who was formed from light particles extended a hand and lightly tapped open a light orb. As the light orb expanded, a gigantic screen started to materialize. A pitch-black Ant Tribe male appeared within the screen.
He wore a respectful expression, and behind him was a vast expanse of yellow earth and white sand.
The earth was littered with the broken corpses of Ant Tribe members, and they were currently being gnawed away by countless Demons of Hell. It was as though this bloody and despairing aura could penetrate through the screen and directly cut through to where the female stood.
“Esteemed Heavenly Light Goddess, the Ant Tribe army has already been wiped out.” The Ant Tribe male saluted respectfully, and as if he were expressing its joy, the white light halo above his head fizzed with bubbles.
He was the Ant Tribe’s emperor, the hope of the entire Ant Tribe.
“You did very well, Heavenly Ant God. How many of the Demons of Hell remain?” The Heavenly Light Goddess smiled faintly.
“Out of the twenty-eight million Demons of Hell, only twenty-two million of them remain. Thanks to consuming the corpses of the Ant Tribe members, all of them have experienced an improvement in their abilities.”
“Very well. You know what to do next, right?” the Heavenly Light Goddess asked.
The Ant Tribe male cracked a smile. “Of course.”
The image on the screen suddenly disappeared.
The Ant Tribe’s emperor—or the Heavenly Ant God to be precise—gazed around at the bleak and bloody surroundings. Dead members of the Ant Tribe lay everywhere, and their broken corpses and despairing expressions appeared especially sinister and frightening. The pungent and stomach-churning smell of blood wafted tens of thousands of kilometers into the distance.
“I guess the Ant Tribe has been exterminated, huh?” The Heavenly Ant God chuckled as if this had absolutely nothing to do with him. Several million Ant Tribe members had died by his hands alone, yet he felt absolutely no guilt in his heart.
“Such a worthless tribe doesn’t deserve to exist in this world.” The Heavenly Ant God trod on the head of a powerful Ant Tribe being. The powerful Ant Tribe being shuddered as if it still possessed an instinctive consciousness.
Boom!
A massive energy wave swept outward.
The powerful Ant Tribe being’s head was crushed by the Heavenly Ant God.
“No, the Ant Tribe hasn’t been completely exterminated yet. After all, I’m also a member of the Ant Tribe. From now on, the Ant Tribe is going to be a completely new Ant Tribe. It’s going to be a powerful and brilliant Ant Tribe…” The Heavenly Ant God wore a faint smile as he walked forward. The hole behind him started to expand, and before long, a golden egg spat out from the hole.
Plop…
The egg fell onto the ground.
However, this wasn’t the end.
The Heavenly Ant God’s a*s continued to expand.
Plop… plop… plop…
The Heavenly Ant God slowly walked forward.
With each step that he took, an egg plopped out from his rear.
The surrounding Demons of Hell were all filled with respect and admiration upon seeing his confident and haughty demeanor.
With regard to the essence of life, the Heavenly Ant God was indeed the emperor of the Ant Tribe.
At the same time, however, he wasn’t completely the emperor of the Ant Tribe. After all, the Heavenly Light Goddess had personally bestowed him with a Heavenly God Power. Moreover, this was the paramount heavenly ant power that had been tailor-made for him. He had reached the pinnacle of the Ant Tribe the moment he was born!
That’s right… In terms of strength, he was a Heavenly God.
Moreover, he was the second Heavenly God that was a native of this world. Even he himself didn’t know how powerful he was. However, one thing was certain—he was confident that he could obliterate the human tribe!
“Kingdom of the Nine States…” The Heavenly Ant God looked toward the north.
A grin tugged at the corners of his mouth, and his pitch-black antenna raised up toward the sky. “I’ve arrived,” he said with a sinister smile. “The old Ant Tribe has already been exterminated, and the new Ant Tribe has already been born. This is a power that’s capable of dominating the entire continent! I’ll have you all understand the terror of being dominated by the Ant Tribe!”
…
In the Abyss of Evil.
This was the border between the Kingdom of the Nine States and the Ant Tribe’s Realm of White Sand.
In this infinitely deep abyss, there lived countless twisted and crazed sinister devils. These sinister devils were starkly different from the Demons of Hell. Demons of Hell were bloodthirsty, while sinister devils were psychopathic. Regardless of whether it was their life or mentality, everything about them was twisted. They exuded auras of boundless negative emotions, and living beings who didn’t possess firm enough resolutions would even become mad and frenzied upon coming too close to them.
Sinister devils were all very strong, and each of them started off with a power that was equivalent to the Spirit Nurturing Stage. All of them roamed about in the Abyss of Evil, and not a single being knew just how many of them existed.
At this instant, the Abyss of Evil suddenly became frenzied.
The anguished wails of sinister devils were like an eerie and unending melody.
A Heavenly God who was shrouded in dark shadows slowly walked through the dimly-lit abyss. He ventured deeper and deeper into the abyss, and the dark shadows behind him swarmed about energetically. Looking closely, these shadows were actually tens of thousands of sinister devils!
“Roar!” A sinister devil who exuded an overwhelming aura suddenly burst from a rock and lunged toward the nearby Heavenly God.
The Heavenly God raised an arm and lightly pressed into the void.
The sinister devil froze in mid-air, and its twisted and frenzied expression became even more distorted and crazed. It was as if it were being eroded by some power.
“Descend into depravity… descend into depravity… Abandon all that you don’t need and reveal your true desires. Set free the evil that lies within your heart…” The Heavenly God’s voice was mysterious and faintly discernible.
The sinister devil thrashed about violently, and the color of its eyes gradually transformed from red to black. At the same time, its aura became increasingly terrifying. In the end, its twisted and pained expression gradually became blank. Then, an uncanny smile stretched across its face, and it silently followed behind the Heavenly God.
The Heavenly God continued forward without giving the sinister devil a single glance.
Every sinister devil that lunged toward him would eventually become a dark shadow that followed behind his back. Not only that, but the sinister devils within a radius of several hundred kilometers would all silently follow behind him.
The Heavenly God continued to venture into the heart of the Abyss of Evil. As he did so, the number of sinister devils following behind him also increased dramatically. Ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million…
He was like the Emperor of Darkness, and no matter where he went, everyone would submit themselves to him. Once he appeared, tens of thousands of demons followed, and millions of devils bowed in submission.
“I can’t let you continue. This is the end.”
A voice suddenly sounded in the darkness.
Immediately afterward, a male who was also shrouded in dark shadows appeared before the Heavenly God. Then, he opened his profound and galaxy-like eyes.
The Heavenly God faltered as he sized up the male standing in his way. “Oh? There’s actually a being of the Dao Integration Stage here? How very interesting…
“However, you actually dared to block my path…” The Heavenly God’s lips curled up into a sinister smile. He spread his arms, and a supreme aura started to proliferate into the surroundings. “Do you know who I am?”
“I can detect degradation and instinct exuding from your body,” the male said calmly. “You most likely rule over depravity. Should I refer to you as the Heavenly Depravity God?”
The Heavenly God’s arrogant demeanor faltered slightly. He was clearly surprised that the male was able to guess his identity. Even the dozen or so super mighty beings who had seen him in action on the eastern front weren’t aware of the essence of his power. Yet this male before him…
“Since you know who I am, you should also know that I can squish you like a worthless ant. Are you going to f*ck off yet?” the Heavenly Depravity God said in a calm and indifferent voice.
“No,” the male said as he shook his head. “You’re the one who should f*ck off.”
“Heh… you’re seeking death!” The Heavenly Depravity God suddenly lunged toward the male, and a black divine light enveloped his hands as he struck toward the male’s face. “Turn back into particles!”
However, just as the Heavenly Depravity God’s hand was about to hit the male’s face, a black-colored hand shredded apart the darkness surrounding him at an even quicker speed. Then, it viciously slammed into his chest!
“Heaven Crushing Technique…
“Fist of the Heavenly Dao!”
A golden light pierced through the darkness and illuminated the Heavenly Depravity God’s terrified face.
Like a furious wave that wanted to shatter the entire world, the Dao Realm True Intent of the palm engulfed the Heavenly Depravity God’s entire body. As the palm pushed forward, the Heavenly Depravity God’s chest started to cave in and shatter…
Boom!
Golden light exploded outward.
The devastating palm continued to push forward, and even the sinister devils behind the Heavenly Depravity God started to crumble under the overwhelming shockwaves that were emitted. A path of death was carved into the dark abyss.
Crack… crack…
The sound of falling rocks echoed around the Abyss of Evil.
The male slowly retracted his hand.
The Heavenly Depravity God had already been swatted out of view.
The male sighed in exasperation as he looked into the distant darkness.
“I know who you are, yet you don’t know who I am…
“Why didn’t you ask who I was?”
