Free Web NovelChapter 356: Chapter 355: Beast God Massacres the City
In a remote mountain village.
The last rays of twilight faded from the horizon as the moon climbed into the sky.
But even though night had fallen, not a single light could be seen in the village.
A dead silence hung over everything.
Not even the bark of a dog or the crow of a rooster could be heard.
The air was thick with the foul stench of rotting flesh. Corpses littered the landscape—in the wheat fields, in the river—their blood soaking the earth until the soil was stained crimson.
And amidst the blood and gore.
The Beast God dragged a male corpse with severed limbs, strolling with a ghostly calm through the downpour as he headed toward the village entrance.
Not a bird in sight, not a soul on the path.
He was the only person left in the village.
"It is finally done." freewebnoveℓ.com
By the time he reached the village entrance, the male corpse in the Beast God’s hand was completely shriveled, all of its blood drained. He tossed it aside casually.
After days of slaughter, he had recovered ninety percent of his power from his Peak!
The Peak of Celestial Venerable!
It was a pity that no amount of slaughter would help any further. Due to the shackles imposed by Earth Star, he was unable to take another step forward.
Otherwise, with his current foundation, reaching the Divine Venerable Realm would have been within his grasp!
’Oh well. Time to go prepare some more blood-food.’
The Beast God raised his head slightly, and his Divine Sense spread out, drifting toward the lights of civilization several kilometers away.
In the distance, he could faintly see the glow of neon lights and hear the ceaseless rustle of activity.
...
「A few moments later.」
WOOO—
In the nearest town, the urgent city defense alarm suddenly blared!
Artillery fire stained half the sky red.
Thousands of shells rained down, cluster warheads streaking across the sky, frantically firing at the passing blood mist, but they had no effect whatsoever.
"Haha, give up! You think those in the Innate Realm can break my sea of blood?!"
The Beast God stood atop the city wall, stomping his foot and crushing the head of an Innate Powerhouse. "Nothing but a bunch of ants for my blood-food!"
The City Defense Array was rendered completely useless.
Severed fingers and mangled remains were scattered across the city walls. Everywhere one looked, there were only piles of bones belonging to the city’s defenders. The living were few and far between.
Just then, someone in a corner pointed a finger at the Beast God’s face and yelled.
"Demon! You won’t be gloating for long!!"
"Once the challenge from Jianghai is issued, the True Dragon Martial God will avenge us!"
"A challenge?"
Hearing this, the Beast God’s ears twitched slightly. He frowned, retracted the foot he was about to step forward with, and abruptly turned to look at the half-dead citizen.
"What did you just say? They want to challenge me?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the soldier instinctively recoiled in fear, leaning against a crumbling wall, trying to escape the pressure of the Beast God’s gaze.
But a glance from the corner of his eye at his fallen comrade nearby ignited a fierce light in his own. A determined smile appeared on his lips, blood trickling from his mouth and nose.
"The Heaven-Blasting Gang has already sent word! In three days, they will execute a bloodthirsty monster like you!"
As he spoke, he raised a severed arm, pointing the jagged, white bone at the Beast God. "They will definitely exe—"
"Hmph. Ignorant!"
The Beast God’s expression turned icy. Before the city defender could finish, he raised a hand and made a grasping motion at the man’s jaw from a distance.
The next moment.
BANG!
His jaw exploded!
The soldier’s cranium was blown away, leaving only the lower half of his head to fly five meters into the air before falling back into the blood-soaked earth. His eyes remained wide and fierce, unable to close even in death.
"Hah. A bunch of weaklings from the Venerable Realm."
The Beast God, having crushed the citizen’s head with a mere gesture, stood atop the wall with his hands behind his back, gazing thoughtfully in the direction of Jianghai City.
’I’m now at the Peak of Celestial Venerable. If not for the restrictions of Earth Star, I should be able to return to the Divine Venerable Realm at any moment!’
’So what if Qin Yang challenges me?’
’In terms of Realm, I’m already unbeatable!’
But at this thought, he suddenly frowned as another question occurred to him.
’Could this be a trap?’
’Knowing Qin Yang’s cunning nature, it’s a definite possibility!’
However, after a moment’s thought, the Beast God closed his eyes and sensed the Star Force accumulated in his body. It surged endlessly, like a flowing river of suns, moons, and stars. He immediately felt reassured.
’With my current power at the Peak of Celestial Venerable, it wouldn’t matter even if the Heaven-Blasting Gang Leader himself came.’
In his five hundred years in the Lower Realm, he had always been invincible, except for that one time the Human Race joined forces to suppress him...
’Unless...’
’...Unless the Heaven-Blasting Gang is trying to imitate those old fossils from back then and seal me again?’
At this thought, a cold sneer played on the Beast God’s lips. He then summoned a crimson banner into his hand.
It was covered in dense patterns that resembled writhing, intertwined corpses.
The moment he took it out, all the bloody aura for several kilometers around converged like a tide, rushing toward the Blood Soul Banner.
"Back then, I was caught off guard and fell for the Human Race’s trick."
The Beast God lowered his hand, planting the Blood Soul Banner’s staff into the ground, a cruel look on his face. "But now that the Blood Banner is complete, who in this world can possibly stop me?!"
As he finished speaking, the four corners of the Blood Soul Banner expanded infinitely, reaching from the heavens to the earth. The rustling fabric billowed until it towered over the surrounding mountains and peaks.
The next moment.
WAAH—
Countless wraiths rose from the sea of blood on the ground, forming a torrent that flowed into the Blood Banner, accompanied by the unending, shrill cries of infants.
In an instant, it was as if mountain spirits were weeping in the night throughout the vast city.
Countless citizens, both living and dead, convulsed as their blood was drained out in wisps and absorbed into the Blood Soul Banner.
In the blink of an eye, the entire city was transformed into a ghost town!
All signs of life were extinguished. Not another human sound could be heard...
...
...
「Half an hour later.」
A video of the empty city circulated online, quickly causing a massive stir.
The video showed countless shriveled corpses in the city, with the bodies of women and infants littering the ground.
The comment section exploded.
[An entire city’s population... gone...]
[It’s this city today, will it be the Imperial Capital tomorrow?!]
[I’m still young, I don’t want to die...]
[Can someone save us!]
...
「Fuhai District.」
In the study.
Qin Yang sat cross-legged, the Enlightenment Space operating within his mind.
The Ten Directions Sealing Demon Array was being analyzed bit by bit, supplementing a new round of reinforcement arrays.
Just then, he heard several whispered voices from outside.
"...We still shouldn’t tell the Young Master. It wouldn’t be good to disturb him, right?"
"Yeah, Senior Brother is concentrating right now. He can’t be distracted..."
"But he’s the Young Master. He should know about this."
"..."
Hearing the voices, Qin Yang went out to the living room.
He found Elder Li and the others there, their faces grim and mournful as if something terrible had happened.
"What happened?"
Qin Yang frowned, looking at their expressions. "Why does everyone look so upset?"
"Master, look online, quickly."
Xiaobai stood up from the side and showed Qin Yang the news on her phone.
The population of an entire city had all become blood-food for the Beast God. Although the government had moved to block the news, secretly recorded videos from multiple angles had still managed to spread!
Countless citizens were thrown into a panic, and the entire nation was gripped by anxiety.
"Master, I’m a little scared."
Xiaobai came to Qin Yang’s side, clutching the corner of his shirt. "Maybe... we should just run."
"It’s alright."
Qin Yang patted her head and looked out the window, a flash of fury in his eyes. "In three days, the Beast God will meet his end!"
