The red bead flickered with stunning red light.

At the bottom of Qianshan City, streams of blood and Qi spread out, connecting into thin lines that flew into the sky. Those blood and Qi came from the dead human cultivators.

After a long time, the blood and Qi slowly disappeared. The human cultivators on the ground had become piles of bones. The blood and Qi that dissipated from their bodies had been absorbed into the strange bead.

With that, the light on the bead became even more enchanting.

The golden eagle had a satisfied look on its face. It lowered its head to look at the devilish ape below and said, “Monkey, we’ll be able to successfully refine this Blood Light Bead after destroying a few more cities.”

Instead of arguing with it, the devilish ape’s gaze was also fixed on the red bead, then it sprinted toward another place.

After the 2 Ancient Demons left, a man quietly crawled out of the dilapidated house. On a closer look, this man was the scarred man who was in the tavern just now.

The Starry Sky Hunter was not afraid of death, but it did not mean that he would send himself to his death. On the way back from the Zhongzhou Main City, he had seen numerous cities that had been massacred. In those cities, there were many people who were more powerful than him.

“Luckily, I was prepared and set up a Separation Formation underground.” The scar-faced man felt lucky as he pushed open the door and walked outside.

There was no one on the street. Qianshan City was like a ghost town. White skeletons could be seen everywhere on the ground…

“Another city has been destroyed.” The scar-faced man sighed internally.

The situation in the Zhongzhou Main City was getting direr. Everyone was panicking.

After waiting for 2 days, the Mystic Sky Sect finally sent the news that the sect master would personally take action to suppress the Ancient Demons.

Upon hearing the news, the people in Zhongzhou were overjoyed.

The Mystic Sky Sect was a top sect of the Humans. They controlled the lifeline of the race and also possessed the strongest power. The sect master of the sect was one of the greatest human powerhouses.

Under the call of the Mystic Sky Sect, many top-tier sects also sent powerhouses over. This also meant that the Humans had officially declared war on the Ancient Demons from the Desolate Ancient Ruins.

On the second of August.

The governor of Zhongzhou, Zhao Juefeng, fought an Ancient Demon outside and chopped off one of the demon’s arms.

This was like a signal. One after another, human powerhouses joined the battle.

Almost instantly, the situation was reversed. After all, the Humans were one of the 3 great races in the Great Wide World and had the most powerhouses. Once they became serious, they would be able to erupt with unparalleled strength.

In just half a month, the Humans had killed more than 100 Ancient Demons. Among these Ancient Demons, the most powerful one was in the law boundary while the weakest one was a top-grade Venerable One.

The counterattack of the Humans caught the Ancient Demons that came out of the ruins off guard.

With that, the Ancient Demons began to shrink their battle lines and hide around the ruins. The Humans could not break through this place for the time being. Apart from the dozens of cities that were destroyed, the Humans used lightning-fast methods to stop the deterioration of the situation.

In the sky above the Desolate Ancient Ruins, many powerful Ancient Demons gathered. The devilish ape and golden eagle that had destroyed Qianshan City were also among them. Other than them, there were 9 other Ancient Demons of the laws.

The strongest one was a huge black bear. That black bear did not look well and was missing an arm.

“General Bear, these are our Blood Light Beads.”

The golden eagle spat out 3 Blood Light Beads. For these beads, they had destroyed more than 10 cities. The blood and Qi of tens of millions of humans turned into red beads, and the murderous auras on them soared into the sky.

“These are ours.”

Meanwhile, a slender mantis threw 2 red beads over.

“These are mine…”

“These are…”

The red beads were gathered. There were 20 of them, and each of them contained countless vengeful souls of the Humans.

These beads were proof of the deep hatred between the Humans and the Ancient Demons.

The black bear held all the beads in its hand. Its eyes were blood-red as it looked at the huge formation below, then it said in a deep voice, “Everyone, you’ve worked hard. With these Blood Light Beads, we can resurrect the Demon King from ancient times. As long as we follow the orders of the Demon King, we can gain a firm foothold in the Great Wide World and restore our race’s glory.”

After hearing this, the Ancient Demons had looks of anticipation in their eyes. The counterattack of the Humans had made them feel a fatal danger.

Even several Great Demons of the laws had fallen at the hands of human powerhouses.

The Humans were no longer on the same level as before, so the Ancient Demons were no match for them. Only when the Demon King appeared could they destroy the human powerhouses.

A magic formation had long been set up. All 20 Blood Light Beads were thrown into the formation. The formation immediately burst out with a fearsome aura that made one’s heart palpitate. The black bear knelt on the ground and muttered something as if it was preparing for some kind of holy prayer.

Soon, a black stream of air emerged from the formation below.

The black stream of air grew, and the Blood Light Beads that entered the formation turned into powder. The formation became incomparably evil as if it was the gateway to hell.

After an hour, the black gas transformed into a giant prehistoric beast. The beast was full of fangs, and its inky black spikes were sharp.

It looked coldly at the sky and asked, “It was you who resurrected me?”

The black bear’s eyes were filled with excitement. It hurriedly responded, “Sir Demon King, we resurrected you. Please lead us in killing our way into the Great Wide World.”

“Idiots!”

The demon’s eyes were ice-cold. “I’ve just been resurrected, and my strength is weak. Wouldn’t it be a waste of my life to kill my way into the Great Wide World?”

“That’s not what I meant, sir,” the black bear hurriedly said. To it, the Demon King was an omnipotent existence. It did not expect the Demon King to be afraid.

“Well, it’s not a big deal to kill my way into the Great Wide World. As long as my strength recovers, I won’t be afraid of even those old things in the Great Wide World. It’ll be fine by then…”

The black bear’s eyes lit up with joy as it asked, “Sir, how do you need to recover your strength?”

Subsequently, the Demon King’s lips carried a hint of cruelty as it coldly answered, “If I want to quickly recover my strength, of course, I’ll need to devour powerhouses from my race. Your strength is not bad. Since you’ve resurrected me, I’m sure you’ll be willing to do anything for me, right?”

“Sir Demon King, you…”

Before the black bear could say anything else, the demon in the magic formation suddenly soared into the sky and opened its bloody mouth, swallowing the black bear in one gulp.

The black bear, whose strength had reached the second step, was injured and had almost no ability to resist…

Ancient Demons were very cruel. Not only were they cruel to their enemies, but they were also cruel to their own kind. Those who could become Demon Kings were ruthless and merciless.

Just as the black monster was about to devour the other Ancient Demons, it looked into the distance and saw a powerful sword Qi flying over from afar.

“Beast, die!”

The sword Qi surged, and white light shone. The sword-light was exceptionally cold!

“Boom!” The fierce sword Qi swept over.

The sword Qi slashed in the air above the formation, and the 10 over Ancient Demons of the laws were killed by the sword. The frightening Demon King that had been summoned quickly fled into the ruins.

With a flash, a white-robed figure appeared.

His eyes were filled with anger as he stared at the destroyed formation.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

More than a dozen human powerhouses also appeared in the air. They were all figures above the laws, and even Zhao Juefeng, who was Zhongzhou’s governor, was among them.

They looked at the dead Ancient Demons and were shocked. Only the sect leader had the strength to kill so many powerhouses with a single sword strike.

The white-clothed man’s expression was grim as he said, “Send an order to summon all human powerhouses into the Desolate Ancient Ruins. Don’t leave any Ancient Demons in the ruins. I’m willing to give whoever has the most contribution a Mystic Ice Jade Fruit, which is the Mystic Sky Sect’s ultimate treasure.”

“It’s Sir Sect Leader!” Everyone was shocked. The sect leader intended to exterminate all of the Ancient Demons.

As the Humans’ greatest powerhouse, the Mystic Sky Sect’s sect leader’s words could almost represent the will of the Humans. The Humans had used over 100,000 years to climb from the bottom of the Great Wide World to their position at the moment. How could they tolerate the wanton slaughter of the Ancient Demons?

“This time, I’ll personally guard the Desolate Ancient Ruins,” the white-robed man said again.

Only the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect knew that the Ancient Demons had summoned a Demon King. He understood how terrifying a Demon King was. If it grew, it would be a huge problem for the Humans.

If a Demon King wanted to recover its strength, it had to devour enough Ancient Demons. As long as the human powerhouses got rid of all the Ancient Demons in the Desolate Ancient Ruins and suppressed this place, the Demon King would never be able to recover its strength.

The others thought that the sect leader was doing this for hatred, but they did not know that he had other considerations besides that.

Yes, the Demon King must die!

This was also the reason the sect leader was in charge here.

The moment the Mystic Sky Sect’s sect leader issued the edict, the Humans’ territory was in an uproar.

Needless to say, the Ancient Demon disaster in Zhongzhou had spread to every corner of the Great Wide World. Tens of cities and millions of humans had been slaughtered. The Ancient Demons in the ruins had aroused the anger of the people.

The flying boats spread in the starry sky. Many human powerhouses had come from afar. Their goal was to destroy the Ancient Demons in the Desolate Ancient Ruins.

On one hand, it was for revenge but of course, there were also many people who wanted the reward from the Mystic Sky Sect. Other than the Mystic Ice Jade Fruit, which would be given to the person who contributed the most, every Ancient Demon killed could be exchanged for points. After that, those points could be exchanged for treasures from the sect.

The list of exchangeable items included slots to become inner sect disciples of the Mystic Sky Sect. No one was willing to miss out on such benefits.

Before the ruins opened, many top-notch powerhouses had gathered in Zhongzhou.

As compared to Zhongzhou, the outer sect of the Mystic Sky Sect was still very peaceful. The storms in the outside world had nothing to do with this place.

Song Qingshan went to the Pill Refinement Department and took over the work of the Bai family’s brothers. Every month, he had to send out the Qi-replenishing Pills one by one.

“Ou Yangming, do you know that something big has happened recently?” Song Qingshan asked softly.

“What happened? Did those few pigs you used to raise give birth?” Ou Yangming asked jokingly with a smile.

Song Qingshan rolled his eyes. Raising pigs was his dark history, and he really did not want to think about it.

“Some time ago, Ancient Demons appeared in Zhongzhou and destroyed dozens of human cities.” Song Qingshan showed off his information, which he only learned from the conversation between the alchemists.

“Dozens of cities? That’s tens of millions of people, right?” Ou Yangming raised his head and asked in surprise.

“That’s for sure. I heard that Sir Sect Leader was so furious that he personally killed the Ancient Demons that came out of the ruins to harm people. He even gave an order…”

“What order?” Ou Yangming asked..
