Chapter 2010: The Ant Tribe’s Desperate Crisis

There were over thirty million ants guarding the emperor.

They still outnumbered the twenty million Demons of Hell.

However, even the most ordinary Ant Tribe soldiers knew that their army was about to get destroyed…

What did twenty million Demons of Hell entail?

Each and every Demon of Hell was comparable in power to the most vicious beasts. They could easily tear apart the bodies of three ants, and five ants were required just to deal with a single Demon of Hell.

This meant that there had to be at least five times as many ants as there were Demons of Hell in order to ensure victory.

But now, there were only thirty million ants up against twenty million Demons of Hell…

They were screwed!

High Priest Hong Yu could only think of one way to turn the tables.

“Protect the emperor! Buy the emperor time to hatch!”

“As long as the emperor hatches, we’ll be able to make a comeback!”

High Priest Hong Yu finally discovered the final shred of hope amid this desperate crisis.

“The High Priest is right! We have to protect the emperor egg!”

“As long as the emperor can successfully hatch, we’ll be able to vanquish the enemy and survive!”

All of the Ant Tribe powerful beings were also enlightened. A Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure could turn the tables on this entire battle. Even if they couldn’t defeat these Demons of Hell, they would have a chance at carving out an escape path.

With this in mind, all of the Ant Tribe powerful beings surrounded the center of the formation and fought the oncoming Demons of Hell with all their might in an attempt to protect their emperor.

Waves of fearless Demons of Hell surged forth like raging floodwaters.

The ant army also rushed toward the Demons of Hell like tsunami waves.

The clash between the two armies was like a terrifying collision between two massive waves that instantly triggered countless splashes. However, as opposed to water, these were splashes of blood and gore.

Thus, an extremely brutal battle ensued.

The Ant Tribe was no match for the Demons of Hell, but they still fought fearlessly and valiantly.

“Waah…” All of the thirty or so Ant Queens joined their voices in a loud chorus as soundwaves spread throughout heaven and earth.

Immediately afterward, all of the ants stationed at various locations rushed over as if their lives depended on it to reinforce the army of thirty million ants.

They were completely obedient to the Ant Queens’ decree.

The Ant Tribe had reinforcements, but the Demons of Hell also had reinforcements of their own!

The cracks on the earth were still expanding, and more Demons of Hell were emerging from within. Twenty million was not the extent of their numbers!

Soon, the Ant Tribe was gradually forced onto the back foot.

High Priest Hong Yu trembled uncontrollably upon seeing this.

“Have the Demons of Hell always been this powerful?”

“Is this the true extent of their forces?”

They had battled the Demons of Hell countless times and were able to chase them back to their underground lair on all of those past occasions. They didn’t know just how many Demons of Hell there were, but they knew that they could defeat the Demons of Hell.

However, this notion had been completely flipped on its head.

The Demons of Hell bared their vicious fangs, outstretched their sharp claws, and displayed their true power.

There was a demon in the form of a centipede with ten thousand legs and a body twenty thousand feet in length. On the underside of each and every one of those feet was a sinister, bloody mouth. The demon pounced toward one of the massive Ant Queens at an extremely fast speed before ensnaring the Ant Queen like a boa constrictor. All of its ten thousand feet made contact with the Ant Queen’s body before opening their cavernous mouths…

Bloodcurdling cries immediately erupted from that Ant Queen’s mouth. Its massive, fortress-like body was completely devoured in its entirety by those ten thousand mouths.

“Mother!”

“Charge! We must avenge our mother!”

The ants were all completely infuriated upon seeing this, and they converged toward the massive centipede demon.

In the face of these enraged ants, the centipede demon put on a sinister smile as one thousand of its feet ran along the ground. All of the ants that were stomped on by those feet were devoured by the centipede demon’s mouths.

High Priest Hong Yu was just about to rush over and provide assistance, only to discover a series of massive black figures springing out from within the cracks in the earth. There were over a hundred of these terrifying centipede demons…

“Wha…” High Priest Hong Yu drew a sharp breath as incredulity appeared on its face.

These centipede demons were comparable in power to Return to Void Stage mighty figures and there were over a hundred of them?! Were the heavens really trying to condemn the Ant Tribe to extinction?

Was their dream of ruling the world about to be shattered right after its inception?

Right at this moment, a cry of shock and elation erupted from behind them.

“The Ant Emperor is about to be born!”

“Look! The eggshell is trembling!”

All of the Ant Tribe powerful beings were overjoyed to hear this.

Hong Yu felt like it had seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

At this moment, a Return to Void Stage falcon demon flew toward the Ant Emperor.

“Protect our emperor!” High Priest Hong Yu roared as it rose into the sky before bringing its skull staff down viciously upon the falcon demon’s body.

The falcon demon also swiped its sharp and vicious claws mercilessly at High Priest Hong Yu.

Bam!

A terrifying collision ensued.

Peculiar ripples emanated from the tip of the skull staff, and these ripples tore the falcon demon’s claws apart along with its massive body. The falcon demon didn’t even get a chance to cry out in pain before it was insta-killed by High Priest Hong Yu.

“So powerful…”

“Our High Priest is invincible!”

The Ant Tribe powerful beings all yelled in excitement at the sight of Hong Yu insta-killing one of the most powerful Demons of Hell.

A faint smile appeared on Hong Yu’s face. It was a Return to Void Pinnacle Stage mighty figure, and it could kill any Demons of Hell in one-on-one battles.

“Our emperor has been born!”

“Ah…!”

Hong Yu was overjoyed to hear this, and it was just about to turn around…

Whoosh!

A sharp claw suddenly punctured Hong Yu’s head.

The world suddenly became extremely red…

Hong Yu’s eyes widened, and it trembled uncontrollably as indescribable pain and a bone-chilling sensation assaulted its entire body.

“Is this the most powerful being within the Ant Tribe? How pitifully weak…”

A faint voice drifted through the air, and everything fell silent.

All of the Ant Tribe powerful beings stared blankly up at the scenes unfolding before their eyes, as if they had been struck by lightning.

High Priest Hong Yu’s head had been punctured by a sharp claw. That claw belonged to an ant with a pitch-black body standing on its hind legs. This ant had the facial features of a human with golden patterns on its forehead as well as two long feelers protruding from its head.

“My… Emperor… Why… why would you…” an Ant Tribe powerful being stammered in a trembling voice.

That black ant was none other than the Ant Emperor that had hatched from the egg!

High Priest Hong Yu was also in disbelief. It had envisioned that this emperor would turn the tables on this battle and lead the Ant Tribe to destroy the human race and rule over the Tai Chu Continent. This emperor was supposed to carry the hopes of the entire Ant Tribe on its shoulders. But why was it that this very same emperor now had its claw piercing through its head?

Despair, horror, and befuddlement gripped High Priest Hong Yu’s heart.

“Why…” High Priest Hong Yu asked with difficulty.

“This body is so weak…” The Ant Emperor twisted its body from side to side with a scornful expression. It didn’t bother answering Hong Yu’s question. Instead, it gently swept its claw through the air.

Whoosh…!

High Priest Hong Yu’s body was completely pulverized, and it was as dead as dead could be!

To the Ant Emperor, speaking with living beings like this was a waste of its time!

“High Priest Hong Yu!”

“Why? Why would you do this, Emperor?!”

Countless Ant Tribe powerful beings roared with grief and indignation upon seeing this as tears flowed down their faces.

“Why? Because it was too weak.” A white divine halo suddenly appeared above the Ant Emperor’s head, and a supreme aura began to emanate from its body.

It looked down at the ant army below. It was silent for a moment before a sinister expression appeared on its face. “You’re all too weak… Such a weak race does not deserve to exist on the Tai Chu Continent. You can all die!”

Boom boom boom!

Bloodcurdling cries erupted from the Ant Tribe powerful beings, and they rang out incessantly throughout the continent…
