Chapter 361 The King of Beasts? Mere Ants
He gazed at the Purple Moon Holy Land universe from afar, and then countless white, zigzagging rays suddenly shot out from its two horns, each horn tip like a spring, and the two horn tips like twin stars.
They influenced each other—directly forming a strange, absorbing force that completely enveloped the distant Purple Moon Holy Land universe.
"Boom~~~" Space-time trembled and distorted.
The dazzling light surged wildly into Morosa's body along the countless white, zigzagging rays. His divine light surged, making him shine like a sun a billion times brighter, illuminating the entire cosmic sea as if it were daytime.
At this moment, the Purple Moon Holy Land is filled with the joyous atmosphere of a celebration.
The Purple Moon Ancestor stood raising his cup, his brows furrowed with smug satisfaction: "I possess an astonishing destiny, destined to achieve the supreme path. How could I possibly fall victim to a mere World Beast Calamity?" Before he finished speaking, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes. "As for Xu Qing, he actually managed to withstand the World Beast tide; his potential is truly terrifying—if he could perish together with the World Beasts, that would be even better!"
"I, Ziyue, will never forget the humiliation inflicted by a mere third-class dependent race, and I will make him pay a hundredfold sooner or later—"
Anger and resentment flashed in his eyes, but the next second, the expression of the Purple Moon Ancestor changed drastically.
A sudden surge of emotion from the depths of one's soul erupted, causing the entire Purple Moon Holy Land universe to shake violently!
"not good!"
His pupils contracted sharply, reflecting the constantly cracking light curtain of the holy land's dome. An extremely terrifying devouring power, like a malignant tumor, was frantically gnawing at the very foundation of the universe.
"Boundary Beasts?! How is this possible?!" Ancestor Purple Moon was filled with shock and rage, her divine flames surging violently. "Xu Qing clearly drove them away, and only a year has passed—how dare they return?!"
He dared not delay for a moment. With a surge of divine power, a clone instantly tore through the void and sped toward the Cosmic Sea.
The moment he stepped into the Cosmic Sea, the Purple Moon Ancestor's avatar was struck as if by lightning, his whole body trembling violently, and a deep-seated fear instantly seized his soul.
In the center of the starry sea, a figure with a tall and straight posture and skin as white as snow stood in mid-air. The outline of the sleeves was so perfect that it seemed to be the masterpiece of the Creator. Two snow-white curved horns on the forehead were filled with a holy halo. The aura around him was gentle but carried an inviolable majesty. At first glance, he seemed to be a creator god who had transcended the mortal world.
Yet this seemingly holy being is greedily devouring his Purple Moon Holy Land! The stream of light transformed from the origin of the universe is continuously flowing into Xiu's body.
This aura was completely different from those ferocious and violent world beasts before! There was no exposed killing intent, but it exuded a supreme destructive pressure, as if the sleeve itself was a synonym for destruction, and every move it made was in accordance with the operation of the supreme rules.
"The King of Beasts?!"
The Purple Moon Ancestor was terrified and cried out in shock.
Needless to say, the being before us must be a World Beast King! With such a terrifying rate of devouring, the Purple Moon Holy Land won't last a day!
A single one is equivalent to the combined power of a billion World Beasts. Only a World Beast King can possess such power!
Meanwhile, jubilation also reigned within the virtual universe's pantheon.
True gods of all races and lords of the universe gathered here, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, their laughter and cheers resounding throughout the palace.
Everyone was celebrating, celebrating that the cataclysmic event involving the World Beasts that nearly destroyed the cosmic sea had been ended by Xu Qing.
Luo Feng and the Lord of Chaos City sat side by side at the head of the table, their brows furrowed with satisfaction and ease.
But just then, a sharp alarm suddenly blared, shattering the festive atmosphere inside the hall.
"Urgent message! The Purple Moon Holy Land universe is being devoured by Realm Beasts! Its essence is rapidly being lost! Requesting support! Requesting support!"
These words were like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing the laughter of everyone in the hall.
"What? The Purple Moon Holy Land has been attacked?"
"Beasts of the Realm? How dare they come here?!"
Exclamations rose and fell, and the once jubilant Pantheon was instantly thrown into chaos. The powerful figures of various races looked fearful, and the hearts of the people were filled with apprehension.
Amidst the chaos, a cold and indifferent voice suddenly resounded throughout the palace: "What's the panic?"
1
The sound wasn't loud, but it instantly drowned out all the noise.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Xu Qing who spoke.
With just a glance, all the strongest beings, true gods, and cosmic lords in the hall turned pale, hastily kneeling down, their voices filled with awe and pleading: "We beg the Ancestor to intervene, exterminate the Realm Beasts, and save us from this dire situation!"
Meanwhile, in the cosmic sea on the other side, Morosa slowly turned his head, his gaze casually falling on the trembling avatar of the Purple Moon Ancestor. A contemptuous smile curled at the corner of his lips, and then he burst into a deafening laugh.
"The ancestor of Ziyue?"
He chuckled, his voice causing the surrounding chaotic air currents to surge back like a tide.
"The name sounds impressive, but unfortunately, it's nothing more than a piece of food in my mouth."
He looked at the trembling Purple Moon Ancestor with a mocking gaze, his tone full of sarcasm: "A bunch of livestock at my mercy, obediently giving up resistance and letting me swallow this Purple Moon Holy Land whole, isn't that your best fate?"
"You lowly beings, this is your very destiny, to be destroyed and devoured by me! This is the fate etched deep within your souls, an ironclad law established by the supreme rules, which none can defy!"
-
Morosa extended his fair, jade-like hand and gently lifted it.
"Boom—!"
The tremors of the Purple Moon Holy Land universe grew more and more violent, and countless primal forces, like a flood bursting its banks, surged wildly into his body along with the white light, making the halo around him even more dazzling.
"Don't be sad if I swallow your miniature universe."
As the Purple Moon Ancestor watched his small universe being swallowed up, his eyes nearly burst open, but Morosa spoke indifferently, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
"This is just the beginning. Once I have devoured everything in the cosmic sea and utterly destroyed the primordial universe, I will tear through the void, step onto the Origin Continent, and swallow the entire Source World whole!"
"You ants, you beasts, in the end, only death awaits you!"
The arrogant words froze the avatar of the progenitor Yu Ziyue in place, leaving it unable to muster even the slightest courage to refute.
His body was ice-cold, his eyes filled with desperate resentment: "It's over—it's all over! Xu Qing! It's all Xu Qing's fault! If he hadn't driven away the World Beast, how could you have had the chance to transform into a king?!"
The Beast King is a lord of destruction born from the supreme rules.
The primordial universe represents the birth of life, while Morosa represents the end of everything.
Destruction is for the sake of rebirth, and rebirth breeds destruction. This cycle of birth and death is the order established by the supreme rules themselves.
Morosa is the messenger of destruction who acts on behalf of God!
Upon hearing the venomous roar of the Purple Moon Ancestor, Morosa's maniacal laughter suddenly intensified, causing countless cracks to appear in the surrounding void for billions of miles.
In those obsidian-like eyes, a destructive lust surged wildly, and the arrogance and disdain in his voice almost overflowed: "Xu Qing?"
He thought he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"What is he! He's just a slightly larger stepping stone on my path to growth, a delicious feast that can make my strength skyrocket!"
"I was banished by him before because I had not yet transformed into a king! Now that I wield the supreme source of destruction, he is no different from you, a lowly beast of prey, in my eyes!"
"Once I've devoured this Purple Moon Holy Land, I'll also devour its miniature universe, then grind it to dust! At that time, who in the entire cosmic sea can stop me?! Who can stop me from devouring the cosmic sea, devouring the primordial universe?!"
When Morosa said these words, the Purple Moon Ancestor could feel the supreme will of the universe trembling with fear.
Yes, the birth of a World Beast King is a natural law of birth and death permitted by the highest rules. Even God Kings must take it seriously and unite to suppress it.
How could Xu Qing, born from the primordial universe, possibly withstand this power representing the very source of destruction?!
But before Morosa's arrogant declaration had faded, a cold and piercing voice suddenly rang out.
"You beastly bastard who acts on instinct, you're quite arrogant."
The moment the voice fell, a terrifying pressure far exceeding Morosa's imagination swept over without warning.
The oppressive aura was not filled with killing intent, but rather with a sense of looking down upon all the heavens and myriad worlds, carrying a transcendent and detached air, as if looking down upon the mortal world from the infinite other shore. The mere aftershocks caused the spacetime of this cosmic sea to stand still completely.
Morosa's smile froze abruptly, the hairs on his body stood on end, and his eyes, filled with destructive lust, widened suddenly.
He suddenly turned his head to look—
In the infinite distance, a golden bridge spanned the cosmic sea, illuminating the entire cosmic sea as if it were daytime.
In an instant, everyone in the cosmic sea, whether it was the Divine Eye True Lord or the Rampaging Demon God Corpse Lord, saw a bridge.
The bridge is infinitely high and endlessly long, seemingly towering over the entire primordial universe and the cosmic sea, bridging the boundary between illusion and reality.
The moment this bridge to the other side appeared, the whole world seemed to become a river, a long river of time.
Both the Purple Moon Ancestor and Morosa felt like mere creatures in the river, looked down upon by those on the bridge.
On the golden bridge, a figure in white stood with his hands behind his back, his posture as upright as a pine tree. His gaze swept indifferently over Morosa, carrying a kind of detached indifference as if he were looking down on a mere ant that did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
It was none other than the progenitor of Qingyang!
It was the same strongest being who had previously driven him away like livestock and seized supreme power over the cosmic sea.
Xu Qing!
But at this moment, Morosa met that indifferent gaze that looked down upon the dust, and instead of showing the slightest fear, he raised his head and let out a cold, mocking laugh.
"Wild dogs? Hah, ants born from the primordial universe, how dare they speak to me like that?"
"Even the very origin of the universe trembles before me, trembling with fear of my path of destruction. You are merely food born from the primordial universe; what right do you have to put on airs before me?"
The moment he finished speaking, the two snow-white curved horns on his forehead suddenly burst forth with piercing white light. The white, zigzagging light that had been entwining the Purple Moon Holy Land instantly surged several times over, and the suction power suddenly rose to its limit!
"BOOM—!!!"
The Purple Moon Holy Land universe emitted an unbearable roar.
The dense primal power surged into Morosa's body like a flood bursting its banks, making his aura of destruction even more powerful, almost solidifying into a tangible abyss.
"Do you see that? This is the majesty of the Beast King!"
Morosa opened his arms as if embracing the destruction of the entire universe.
"All life, all the universe, are merely nourishment for my birth and growth. This Purple Moon Holy Land can only be devoured by me. Even if you, Xu Qing, come, you cannot protect it!"
Before Morosa could finish speaking, he suddenly shook his arms, and the white light from the snow-white curved horn on his forehead abruptly receded, surging into his palms and gathering!
"Not only this miniature universe, but you too will die in front of me."
A roar shattered hundreds of millions of light-years of void, and a black blade of light suddenly cleaved out from his palm, traversing the sea of stars!
The blade's edge carried an extreme purity of destructive power. Wherever it passed, space and time tore apart like paper. Chaotic currents stirred up tsunamis spanning hundreds of millions of light-years. Countless floating stars instantly disintegrated into dust. Even space and time seemed to cease to exist, leaving only a trail of pitch-black nothingness.
The power of this strike was absolutely terrifying! The entire cosmic ocean trembled.
Countless true gods, even those in small universes, felt that terrifying power, and they looked in fear at the battlefield.
"My God, I can feel such a tremor even here! Can the Qingyang Ancestor really defeat this monster?!"
"No way! How could anyone possibly block this attack?!" No one believed that Xu Qing could withstand it.
Even the slightest ripples from it could annihilate a true god.
The Purple Moon Ancestor was also horrified. He clearly felt that the power contained in this blade of light was enough to instantly destroy the miniature universes of thousands of True Gods.
Faced with this power, even his miniature universe couldn't withstand it for long.
"It's over! Even the Eternal God can't withstand this attack!" The Purple Moon Ancestor seemed to have already seen Xu Qing's fate of being cleaved to death by a single blow.
He felt immense resentment, resenting Xu Qing for being so arrogant as to let the tiger return to the mountain.
The Purple Moon Holy Land was already being devoured. Now, under the impact of the aftershocks of the blade's light, the cosmic barrier twisted violently, countless stars exploded one after another, and the rate at which its source was lost suddenly accelerated, as if it would completely collapse in the next second!
This devastating blow was aimed directly at Xu Qing on the Golden Bridge on the other side!
Morosa had a cruel smile on his lips. In his eyes, this attack, which contained all of his destructive power, was something even the Eternal God would have to retreat from. No matter how strong Xu Qing was, he would surely be reduced to ashes by this attack!
But the next second, the smile on Morosa's face froze instantly, and the avatar of the Purple Moon Ancestor was also shocked and his soul trembled.
Everyone within the cosmic sea, including the primordial will, had their expressions change drastically at that moment!
"What?!" Morosa exclaimed.
The unstoppable black blade of light that stretched across the sea of stars suddenly shrank as it approached the golden bridge on the other side, just as ice and snow melted away!
The blade of light, which was originally capable of cleaving the universe and spanning over a billion light-years, shrank from billions of light-years to several light-years, then to several kilometers, and finally to several feet in the blink of an eye. By the time it reached Xu Qing, the earth-shattering attack had become as weak as a firefly, and his robes did not even flutter in the slightest.
"brush."
With a soft sound, Xu Qing exhaled, as if blowing out a candle flame.
The faint "firefly" went out instantly, without even causing a ripple, and completely disappeared into the void, as if it had never existed.
On the Golden Bridge on the other side, Xu Qing stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze still indifferent, as if what he had just extinguished was not an attack powerful enough to destroy thousands of small universes, but merely a wisp of candlelight.
"This—this is impossible!"
Morosa trembled violently, his eyes filled with disbelief and horror, and his voice shook.
"My source of destruction! That is the destructive power bestowed by the supreme rules! How could you—how could you so easily dissolve it?!"
He couldn't accept this fact! As the King of Beasts, wielding the complete source of destruction and acting on behalf of Heaven, even an Eternal God would perish from this attack, yet he was so vulnerable in front of Xu Qing.
The avatar of the Purple Moon Ancestor was dumbfounded. His previous resentment and unwillingness towards Xu Qing were completely washed away by this shock, leaving only a deep-seated awe.
The strength of this Qingyang Ancestor has reached such an unbelievable level.
In an instant, all the sources of countless gazes within the universe breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Qing's gaze fell on Morosa, and a hint of barely perceptible mockery flashed across his indifferent eyes: "Protect the Purple Moon Holy Land? What nonsense are you spouting?"
"A treacherous, ungrateful stray dog that can't be tamed, does he deserve my protection? I spared his life before, does he really think he's something?"
His gaze swept over the trembling clone of the Purple Moon Ancestor, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt, before he looked at Morosa with a cold smile.
"Now that you, this stray dog, have come up here, I'm spared the trouble of cleaning up my own house."
These words struck the Purple Moon Ancestor like a thunderclap, causing his clone to stiffen abruptly.
Xu Qing had already seen through his heart.
"Ancestor, I'm innocent!" Ancestor Purple Moon cried out in utter shock.
Xu Qing ignored his pleas for justice and turned her gaze back to Morosa: "As for you, you are no match for me now. You're just like a starving stray dog."
He casually waved his hand, pointing at the Purple Moon Holy Land, and said, "Didn't you want to devour it? Perfect, I'll give you that chance."
"Swallow this Purple Moon Holy Land as well, gather enough strength, and then come back to be arrogant in front of me." Xu Qing's voice was as cold as ice. "Then, I'll see if your so-called Beast King can arouse even the slightest interest in me."
After he finished speaking, he stood with his hands behind his back, actually becoming an observer.
Morosa was taken aback at first, but was then completely enraged by the contempt in Xu Qing's bones!
As the king of the Beast Realm, wielding the power of destruction, when have I ever been treated with such contempt?
But the difference in strength between the two attacks was like an insurmountable chasm, making him hesitant to attack Xu Qing rashly.
But would I really allow myself to devour a miniature universe?
"Good! Very good!" Morosa roared, the white light from the curved horn on his forehead surging once more. "Since you disdain to make a move, then I'll devour this trash first, and then let you see with your own eyes what true destructive power is!"
Meanwhile, the avatar of the Purple Moon Ancestor was completely limp in the void.
He gazed at the increasingly violent devouring power, feeling the rapid loss of the small universe's origin, his eyes filled with boundless regret and despair.
