"Is there really going to be a war?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Chuan immediately smiled and looked at the Locust Mother Demon with disdain. "This is the prey my primordial ancient serpent is after. If you want to take it, that's impossible. If you want to fight, then come at me!"
He had grown strong enough to the point where he wasn't afraid of any battle. Even though the Locust Mother Demon was powerful, it posed no real threat to him.
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Gu Chuan, the Locust Mother Demon grew solemn. To be honest, if this demon in front of her had been even a little weaker, she wouldn't have hesitated to tear him apart. However, sensing that this demon was nearly as strong as herself, she felt a sense of jealousy and caution, choosing not to act recklessly.
Still, she could not afford to back down. She needed the World Tree—this was crucial to her path of enlightenment. If she let this opportunity slip by, she knew she might never get another chance.
"Old Primordial Serpent, I respect you as a strong being. How about we share the World Tree? Half for you, half for me. This is my final offer." The Locust Mother Demon thought for a moment, feeling that this compromise would be sufficient. With half of the World Tree, she could grow stronger on her own.
And once her strength increased, killing this primordial ancient serpent and consuming the other half of the World Tree's origin would bring her even greater power.
The World Tree, however, felt deeply aggrieved. It couldn't believe that it had become the prey of these two chaos demon gods, being fought over as if it were a mere object to be divided.
Honestly, if it weren't for its serious injuries, it would have hammered these two bastards into the ground. But now, it could only endure. It would be best if the two demons killed each other. Perhaps then, it could take the opportunity to eliminate these two covetous chaos demon gods.
"Get lost!" Gu Chuan roared, his voice filled with utter dominance. "Half? This World Tree is mine! I want it all. If you dare babble on, I'll kill you. Don't say I didn't warn you."
He sneered, completely disregarding the Locust Mother Demon's offer. Half of the World Tree? Who does she think she is? What he wanted was the complete World Tree—not some dead half of it.
And given his current strength, he had no need to compromise with the Locust Mother Demon. It seemed she was unaware of his true power, which was why she dared speak to him like this.
"Old Primordial Serpent, you're asking for it. If that's how it is, then prepare to die!"
Upon hearing this, the Locust Mother Demon's rage flared. She had tried to be humble and offer a compromise, but now she was humiliated by this primordial ancient serpent. Even a clay figure would be angry under such circumstances, let alone an irritable chaos demon god. How could she tolerate this?
If she didn't dismember this primordial ancient serpent today, would she even survive in the world of chaos?
Rumble~~
In an instant, the Locust Mother Demon roared, and strange waves of soul fluctuations erupted from her body. These waves penetrated deep into the sea of consciousness of millions of locust demons.
Immediately, these locust demons seemed to have received orders, forming a unified army. The entire swarm moved as one, exuding a violent and deadly aura as they surged toward Gu Chuan.
Clatter~~~
Tens of millions of locust demons attacked in unison, their power overwhelming, their dark storms unleashing, devouring everything in their path and sweeping across the chaos.
Vaguely, the laws of death and darkness interwoven with each other began to permeate the air, forming a net that sought to ensnare Gu Chuan completely.
This was the terrifying power of the Locust Mother Demon—able to command such a massive and relentless army of locust demons. Even a more powerful chaos demon god would be obliterated under such a siege.
And it didn't matter if these locust demons died—after all, the Locust Mother Demon could spawn more at any time. The more locust demons she had, the stronger her power would grow.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, these locust demons bombarded Gu Chuan's primordial ancient serpent body with rays of deathly light, each one seemingly capable of piercing through anything.
"The serpent is finished."
Seeing this, the World Tree felt that Gu Chuan was doomed. He was completely outmatched and could not survive this onslaught.
The World Tree had been severely injured by these locust demons before, and because of its large size, it often couldn't protect every part of its body. Even if one flaw was found, these locust demons could exploit it and pierce through with their deathly rays, gradually weakening and injuring the World Tree.
It wasn't long before it was severely damaged, with chaos energy leaking from its wounds and its soul being harmed.
This kind of fight, targeting its weaknesses, left the World Tree with little strength to fight back.
Of course, if the World Tree's strength were to advance further, if it could condense the complete laws of the world, these locust demons wouldn't stand a chance against it. Unfortunately, it was still too weak at the moment.
Because truly powerful chaos demon gods have no natural enemies. Only strength matters.
