Chapter 10 Nothing but Ants! One Strike to Kill! The Sovereign Reveals His Power!
After all, Shi Hao was still an ordinary person. After flying around all day, his stomach had long since started performing a symphony of hunger, growling loudly.
“I’ll just eat a fruit to stave off the hunger,” he said.
Chu Tian took out an innate Panta Peach and handed it to Shi Hao.
“Master, I’d rather go have a bowl of noodles with you. I won’t eat the fruit.”
Shi Hao could tell that the Panta Peach was extremely precious. As just an ordinary person right now, he couldn’t bear to waste such a treasure.
“Alright, I haven’t had the taste of noodles in a long time either. I’ll take this chance to enjoy it with you,” Chu Tian said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Tian waved his hand, bringing Shi Hao along as they surged forward at high speed towards the nearest ancient city. That city was Fancheng.
In ancient Luozhou, this was considered a rather remote ancient city. It spanned tens of thousands of miles, with a population of only a few hundred million. The two ordered four bowls of pickled vegetable and shredded pork noodles. Chu Tian had one bowl, while Shi Hao devoured three. He ate with great relish.
After a hundred years in this world, Chu Tian had not tasted ordinary food in a long time. At his cultivation level, he had long surpassed the need to eat. He had been living on fasting for many years, requiring no food to survive. Still, having a bit once in a while actually felt quite nice.
“Jie jie jie…” (an eerie demonic laugh)
From high above, a thunderous demonic voice echoed, shaking all of Fancheng.
“This sovereign needs nourishment to break through in cultivation. You ants shall become my blood food!”
A demon, a thousand miles long, appeared above Fancheng. Its entire body was blood red. It looked like a lion, yet had eight ox-like heads. It was one of those ox heads that had just spoken.
“A monster! It’s a monster!”
“How could there be a monster in Fancheng? Everyone run!”
“Is there anyone powerful in Fancheng? Someone come and defeat this monster!”
People looked up in disbelief at the demon in the sky. Their expressions turned from confusion to horror, and chaos broke out!
Both ordinary people and cultivators dropped what they were doing. Panic-stricken, they scattered in every direction, desperate to flee from Fancheng!
“Get out of the city!”
In Fancheng, a few minor cultivation families knew they were no match for the demon. They quickly gathered their belongings and fled the city. Even the City Lord’s Mansion evacuated!
In the chaos, people were trampled to death!
The demon laughed again.
The blood-red demon laughed maniacally, utterly arrogant, watching with great satisfaction as the people below fled for their lives.
“Tremble! Fear! In the face of my power, submit to being devoured and become blood food!”
The eight bull-headed demons roared in unison, causing the heavens and earth to rumble, their sound waves crashing like thunder. The weaker cultivators were instantly shaken to the point of bleeding from their seven orifices, collapsing to the ground with despair written all over their faces.
Just as the entire city of Fancheng was sinking into hopelessness, believing they would soon become demon fodder—A sudden voice pierced through the clouds.
“Where did this bug come from?”
This unexpected voice echoed in the blood-red demon’s ears. The demon turned its head in surprise, then grinned wickedly.
“Oh? A hero wannabe has arrived?”
“Boy, what did you just call me?”
The blood-red demon sneered coldly, staring down the two people before it with contempt. It was in a very good mood—so many blood offerings, enough to last it a long time. And it had a particular hobby—It especially loved watching ants struggle before it, their faces twisted in pain!
Seeing such expressions of despair gave it great pleasure!
“Shi Hao, what do you think about using this demon as a mount?” Chu Tian asked calmly, hands behind his back, glancing casually at the blood-red demon.
“It’s kind of ugly. I’d be embarrassed to ride it in public,”
Shi Hao replied smartly. He knew Chu Tian didn’t truly intend to tame the demon as a mount. It was just a way to mock it for its arrogance.
“Heh, true. It is quite ugly.”
“Bringing it home as a ride, the mischievous senior uncles would probably laugh to death—especially Uncle Xuanji, he’s the most improper of them all.”
Chu Tian looked at Shi Hao approvingly, pleased with the boy’s wit, and smiled.
“Since you find it ugly, then let’s kill it!”
“I’ll follow your lead, Master.”
Shi Hao nodded with a smile. He had complete faith in Chu Tian’s strength.
“Boy, this sovereign asked you a question! Didn’t you hear?”
The ignored blood-red demon roared furiously with all eight heads. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, thunder rumbling in response to its rage. It was a powerful being of the Heaven Manifestation Realm—its every word and action could stir the forces of heaven and earth.
Yet this young man dared to ignore it? Intolerable!
Chu Tian said, “You called the people of Fancheng ants—but in my eyes, you’re just an ant as well, one that can be crushed with a wave of my hand.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand.
The Blood-Red Fiend Demon burst into furious laughter. A bolt of lightning struck down from the depths of the dark clouds, targeting Shi Hao. It ignored Chu Tian, aiming instead to make him experience the agony of losing someone important!
Only after stripping away his calm and composure would it truly humiliate him. That would be far more entertaining!
Seeing the demon’s textbook villain behavior, a smile appeared at the corner of Chu Tian’s mouth.
“In that case, let me show you what true terror looks like.”
“This is the perfect opportunity to test the power of the Demon Ancestor’s Godslaying Spear.”
Without hesitation, Chu Tian brought out the Demon Ancestor’s Godslaying Spear.
“Hiss… Holy sh*t… am I seeing this right!”
The moment the Blood-Red Fiend Demon laid eyes on the spear, its expression changed drastically. Its massive body trembled violently as if struck by lightning!
All eight bull heads stared wide-eyed, jaws agape, with their chins nearly falling off.
That’s definitely a divine weapon, isn’t it?
Holy sh*t, since when could people just pull a divine weapon out of their pocket?
Have things really changed that much while I’ve been out of the loop?
People can store and summon divine weapons from within themselves now!
“Hey, friend… let’s talk this out peacefully…”
“No, wait—great hero, please spare me! I’ll be your loyal servant, I’ll—”
A boundless divine might erupted—limitless and overwhelming, filled with thick Primordial Qi like clouds. Golden divine light descended from the heavens, accompanied by the roar of mythical beasts.
In the distance, a majestic figure appeared faintly, shrouded in awe-inspiring presence. In an instant, the Blood-Red Fiend Demon was struck by a beam of imperial light.
With a scream of agony, its massive body disintegrated into ash under the imperial radiance!
“The Emperor has manifested!”
Inside the city, everyone instantly dropped to their knees. Weeping with joy, their faces filled with emotion, they offered heartfelt gratitude for the Emperor’s saving grace. From commoners to cultivators—everyone bowed in sincere reverence. The Emperor was revered by all.
