Chapter 356 The Arrival of the Realm Beast, Cataclysm
In the heart of the dark land, where black mist surged, amidst the roar of countless World Beasts battling, the strongest of the World Beast race, Bedi, was currently devouring a dead World Beast.
As a top-tier third-order world beast on par with Morosa, it has never taken any of its kind seriously. At this moment, its gaze is passing over the carnage of its kind and turning towards the distant void.
The next moment, four figures tore through the chaos and suddenly appeared in front of it—it was Morosa, Hao Lei Star Lord, and the other two.
"Morosa, you piece of trash, you've finally decided to give up?"
As Morosa approached with three "slaves," Bedy's deep voice was full of undisguised mockery, and when his gaze swept over Lord Haolei and his two companions, it added a touch of cruel mockery.
"What, you've come to a realization? Are you ready to bring your lackeys and become nourishment for this king's advancement?"
The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is the supreme law etched into the very marrow of the Beast Realm.
Bedi and Morosa had been fighting for trillions of years, each wanting to devour the other alive. Now that their old rival had come to their doorstep, they naturally wouldn't miss the chance to mock each other.
"Beddy!"
Upon hearing this harsh mockery, Morosa's two heads tensed instantly, a chilling green light surged from his single eye, and the black mist around him churned violently like a raging torrent, almost unleashing its power to tear its old rival to shreds and devour every inch of flesh.
As expected, the Beast Clan is incapable of genuine cooperation.
But the thought of Xu Qing's terrifying power in shattering a miniature universe with a single blow forced Morosa to suppress his surging killing intent. His voice was filled with suppressed rage: "If it weren't for the deadly threat posed to the Cosmic Sea, concerning the life and death of the entire Beast Clan and whether the final king could be born, I would tear you apart right now!"
"The threat of the cosmic sea? Morosa, are you kidding me? The life and death of your race?"
Bedi chuckled, his disdain almost overflowing.
"We Beasts are the rulers of the universe. Besides devouring our own kind, what else can threaten our race? You wouldn't have been scared out of your wits by those weak prey in the cosmic ocean, would you?"
"Heh, Bedy, I've always considered you a real enemy, but I never expected you to be so foolish and short-sighted!" Morosa was too lazy to waste words, and suddenly waved his sleeve, forcibly revealing the state of the three of them, including Hao Lei Star Lord, to Bedy.
"These three lackeys are right in front of you, and you can't even see that they're different?"
Upon hearing this, Brady's one eye suddenly narrowed as he carefully examined the three of them.
The three gods, including Hao Lei Star Lord, trembled violently, their auras weakened to the extreme. Their once brilliant True God Hearts were now dim and lifeless, like candles about to go out.
"This—their miniature universe was destroyed? Could it be—" The mockery on Brady's face froze instantly, and shock surged into his heart for the first time.
Immediately afterward, Morosa quickly revealed the whole story: "A True God named Xu Qing has appeared in the Cosmic Sea. He has only cultivated for 100,000 years and has just broken through to the True God Realm, yet he already possesses the combat power of a Void True God at its limit! The three True Gods who surrendered to us had their small universes completely destroyed by this human with a single punch!"
"Beddy, you can't possibly not know what this means, can you?"
Upon hearing this, the mockery on Bedi's face froze completely, replaced by deep solemnity. It subconsciously spread its divine sense, enveloping the entire dimly lit area—not a single Beast of the Realm had left this region, nor had anyone ventured into the Cosmic Sea to devour smaller universes.
It had been focused on Morosa and had never sensed that the other had stepped out of the Dark Land.
Looking at the dejected appearance of Hao Lei Xingzhu and the other two, the dimmed heart of the true god could not be faked. The brows on both of Bedi's heads furrowed at the same time, and for the first time, his single eye was filled with an unprecedented solemnity.
"Are you telling the truth?" Bedi's voice deepened, tinged with disbelief. "The true god of the cosmic sea, capable of destroying a miniature universe with a single blow?"
As Beasts of the Realm, they feed on miniature universes throughout their lives and know better than anyone the resilience of miniature universes.
Even for it, it would be impossible to forcibly destroy a small universe; it would have to advance to the fifth rank and pay a huge price to do so.
Morosa did not respond, but directly activated the telepathy of the World Beast race, instantly transmitting Xu Qing's presence, the fact that he had shattered the miniature universe with a single punch, and the implicit declaration of war directed at the World Beast race to all the third-tier World Beasts in the Dark Land.
"My kin! A powerful enemy is approaching. We must unite to fight them. Otherwise, if we are destroyed, how can the ultimate king be born?"
As soon as Morosa's thoughts were conveyed, the fighting in the entire dark land came to a brief halt.
But the next moment, the divine thoughts of countless Beasts of the Universe intertwined, filled with doubt and disdain: "Ridiculous! Food from the Cosmic Sea dares to threaten us?"
"Morosa is definitely afraid of that human and is deliberately trying to trick us into joining forces!"
"Destroy a miniature universe? Unless it's someone of the same race at the sixth rank or higher, it's absolutely impossible!"
The arrogance of the Beast Clan was deeply ingrained. Without witnessing the tragic state of the three, including Lord Hao Lei, most Beasts refused to believe that the True Gods, whom they considered like ants, could possess such terrifying power.
Joining forces? That's simply impossible.
For every Realm Beast, even the weakest Realm Beast sees other Realm Beasts as food, not as members of its own kind.
They only harbor hatred, only kill, and only destroy each other; cooperation is virtually impossible between them.
But just then—
boom!
An indescribable golden light suddenly poured down from the dome of the dimly lit place, instantly piercing through layers of black mist. Boom!
As if divine punishment had descended, endless light tore a rift through the heavens and earth in the dark fog of the dim land. The black fog that had been churning for trillions of epochs melted and evaporated instantly upon the touch of the golden light, like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, leaving not a trace.
At the center of the light, a figure slowly solidified. He wore a simple white robe, his figure was as upright as a pine tree, and there was no divine power fluctuation around him, yet he seemed to be one with the entire universe.
With a wave of his hand, he could reverse the universe; with a flick of his wrist, he could annihilate the galaxy. Simply by standing there, he plunged this space, which was based on slaughter and destruction, into an extreme silence.
Before this figure, the power that the Beasts of the Realm were so proud of, their destructive power that devoured everything, all became like child's play.
It was as if the other party could turn their billions of races into ashes with just a thought, and return this dark land to chaos with just a glance.
"An eternal God?!"
"How is that possible?!"
Tens of millions of world beasts that had just been scoffing at Morosa's "alarmist" claims were now frozen in place, their disdain in their single eye instantly replaced by extreme fear.
They trembled violently, their massive bodies curled up into a ball, barely daring to breathe.
Their noble lineage forbids them from trembling, but their meager strength makes them feel they don't even have the right to look at the person before them.
The Eternal True God is an existence that all the Beast Clans must look up to!
Even a sixth-order world beast, which surpasses the limit of a Void True God by ten times or more, is still far inferior to an Eternal True God.
"No—impossible! How could there be an Eternal True God in the Cosmic Sea?!" Bedi's two heads shook wildly, its single eye filled with disbelief and terror. It subconsciously took a half step back, its body surrounded by churning black mist, yet it dared not make the slightest move.
The oppressive aura emanating from that figure had already caused its arrogance and ferocity to crumble.
Morosa, now devoid of his previous arrogance, trembled violently, his single eye fixed on the figure within the golden light. A hoarse roar escaped his throat, his voice filled with utter terror: "How is this possible—you—how can you possess such power?!"
It recognized it!
The figure before us is none other than the newly ascended True God who, despite having cultivated for only 100,000 years, shattered the small universe of the Lord of Hao Lei Star with a single punch!
The limit of a Void True God? No, it's ten thousand times stronger! That's the aura of an Eternal True God!
Why? The cosmic ocean is clearly just their hunting ground, and the creatures of the primordial universe are clearly just food to be slaughtered. How could such a terrifying existence be born?
Isn't the cosmic ocean only capable of harboring food at the level of true gods?
Even the Void Gods have to venture into the Cycle of Reincarnation, why? Why are there such terrifying beings?
"Run! Run!" Brady roared, no longer caring about his pride, and turned to tear through the void to escape.
Morosa also realized what was happening and frantically fled into the depths of the dark place.
Even though they are proud Beasts of the Realm, in front of the Eternal God, they are nothing more than a group of embryos that have not even entered their infancy, and they have not even given birth to the ultimate king.
The escape speed of the Beast of the Realm exceeds ten thousand times the speed of light, one hundred thousand times the speed of light, and even surpasses the speed of space and time!
But in Xu Qing's presence, space and time have lost their meaning.
In his eyes, these tens of millions of world beasts, these tens of millions of the strongest beings in the universe, were nothing more than a group of slightly larger ants, whose escape speed was not much faster than that of a snail.
He lightly tapped his fingertip, and no earth-shattering phenomenon occurred, only a faint wisp of golden light swept by.
Suddenly, that ray of light seemed to open up the universe, explode the heavens and earth, and endless light burst forth.
But the light wasn't directed at the Beast of the Realm.
As the golden light flashed, in an instant, the three Star Lords of Haolei Star, along with their proud and powerful armor, were melted away inch by inch, turning into dust that filled the sky, before they could even utter a scream.
The heart of the true god, along with his soul, vanished instantly, like an ant that was casually crushed, leaving not even a trace of its existence.
"Even the most powerful and precious armor couldn't withstand the slightest bit of its power?!"
"My god! A True God Armor that even a fifth-tier Realm Beast couldn't destroy, this—"
Countless beasts of the realm opened their eyes as if about to burst.
Escape. All pride, arrogance, and destructive intent were cast aside, leaving only the word "escape."
After killing the three traitors from the Cosmic Sea, Xu Qing glanced at the fleeing Beasts but did not pursue them; he simply chuckled.
"A bunch of wild dogs, you run pretty fast. Keep running. I hope that next time I see you, I'll see you become true kings of the realm beasts."
"—Stray dog, beast?!"
The voice was calm, yet it resonated in the ears of every beast in the realm. The mockery within it was like the sharpest blade, cutting into the pride of every beast.
How can this be tolerated?
The veins on Bedi's two heads bulged, his single eye was filled with humiliation, and he let out a muffled growl from his throat, but he dared not linger for the moment, and his escape speed increased several times over.
It is a third-tier world beast, one of the closest beings to the king in its race. When has it ever suffered such humiliation?
But the fear that came from the depths of its soul prevented it from even turning around to look at the other creature.
The other party is an eternal god; crushing it is easier than crushing an ant.
Morosa trembled all over, his head almost drooping to his chest, his single eye filled with extreme humiliation and resentment.
It wanted to roar, to rush forward and fight to the death, but its body honestly turned into a black mist and fled madly into the deepest part of the dark place.
"It's just food—just food in our eyes!"
"How dare he?! How dare he humiliate us like this?!"
Morosa cursed inwardly, and countless world beasts also cursed wildly in their souls.
The pride inherited in their bloodline made them want to self-destruct immediately, but the pressure of the Eternal God was like Mount Tai pressing down, preventing them from even having the slightest thought of resistance.
They can only exert all their strength to maximize their escape speed.
Tens of millions of beasts, who have lived here for hundreds of millions of years, taking pleasure in killing and destruction, have never fled in such a panic.
They pushed and shoved each other, and even some weaker beasts were caught in the blasts of their companions' escape light. In the past, they would have fought each other to the death, devouring and gnawing at each other. But at this moment, not a single beast stopped, and not a single beast dared to turn back.
Humiliation? Shame?
In the face of survival, all of these become insignificant.
Only by existing can one be the sole king.
Once all the other world beasts are dead, the one that remains will naturally become king!
As long as they can survive, they'll accept being treated like stray dogs or livestock!
In just a few breaths, the dark place that had been filled with fighting and roars fell into complete silence.
There was no trace of any other Beast in the entire dark place.
Meanwhile, in the cosmic sea, the true gods and cosmic lords were still guessing what the crisis that Xu Qing mentioned and the original will had tacitly agreed to be that would destroy the cosmic sea was.
But after guessing for a long time, the true gods only held onto a sliver of hope, believing that Xu Qing was simply exaggerating.
This included the Eastern Emperor Ancestor and the Purple Moon Ancestor, who both harbored wishful thinking.
After all—what if?
But this stroke of luck only lasted three days.
boom!
A mournful voice, like a death knell, entered the ears of the Eastern Emperor Ancestor.
"Oh no! The Firefly Lord of the First Cycle Era has fallen!"
"The crisis of the destruction of the cosmic sea has arrived!"
The news spread like wildfire, and all the true gods and lords of the universe in the Eastern Emperor Holy Realm turned pale.
Just as the gods were filled with doubt and uncertainty, a disheveled figure stumbled into the presence of the ancestral tree in the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land.
He was a god who had a very good relationship with the Fireworm God, but at this moment his face was full of utter terror.
"The progenitor!"
He fell to his knees with a thud, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
"Monsters! Monsters! Countless monsters! Firefly—his miniature universe was devoured, torn to shreds by those monsters!"
"Monster? What monster?" The Eastern Emperor Ancestor leaned forward abruptly, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.
The true god swallowed hard, as if he could see that hellish scene again, and his whole body trembled violently: "It was a group of giant beasts that were completely black, with two heads, one eye, and their whole bodies were filled with an aura of destruction."
"Each one—each one possesses god-level combat power! And their numbers—they're terrifyingly numerous, numbering in the tens of millions!"
With just a fleeting glimpse, this true god, who had lived through more than 100 cycles of reincarnation, was already terrified by the horrific sight.
"Tens of millions? God-level combat power?! This, this is—"
The Eastern Emperor Ancestor turned pale and sat on the throne as if he had lost his soul.
The other true gods and the Lord of the Universe froze on the spot, their faces completely replaced by extreme fear.
"Their liver and gallbladder were shattered, their souls were scattered"—these words are insufficient to describe their state of mind at that moment.
Throughout the entire cosmic ocean, through countless cycles of reincarnation, the total number of true gods approached one hundred.
This is less than one ten-thousandth of the size of these monsters!
They no longer questioned what Xu Qing said.
This was indeed a cataclysmic event capable of utterly crushing the entire cosmic ocean, along with the primordial universe!
