The Abyss of Evil was a place abandoned by sunlight.
Eternal darkness was the main theme here. There was no time or vitality here, only the deepest sense of danger and deathly stillness.
No one knew how deep the Abyss of Evil was. It was riddled with countless cracks of various sizes that intersected with one another. None of the people who explored the Abyss of Evil were able to reach the very bottom, and many of them died there.
However, in the deepest part of the Abyss of Evil, light suddenly shone.
This was an extremely gentle and all-encompassing light. If someone were to look directly at this light, they would feel as if they had fallen into another world.
Countless powerful sinister devils and demons of Nine Hells retreated, unable to even muster the courage to look directly at this light.
The being that brought light to the Abyss of Evil was a man with long silver hair and a set of cold features in a starry robe. He was one of the most powerful emperors of the Celestial Court, and his full name was Heaven Culminating Purple Micro Polaris Emperor. Not only was he proficient in all types of immortal spells, but he also wielded the power of heaven and earth and was well-versed in the tribulations of the universe.
Emperor Ziwei arrived at a certain place in the Abyss of Evil and closed his eyes as he stood there silently.
Time slowly passed by, and the abyss fell silent again.
"Come out."
After an indeterminate period of time, he suddenly spoke.
His voice pierced through space and landed somewhere in the darkness.
Ripples surged within the darkness.
At some point in time, a dreamlike, inky-black figure began to appear before Emperor Ziwei. It existed between existence and non-existence, and the only thing that gave off a sense of realism was its eyes, which were as bright as stars.
"Night Monarch, withdraw the bridge," Emperor Ziwei said in a cold voice without any trace of politeness.
"It's not time yet," the being known as the Night Monarch replied in a firm voice.
Emperor Ziwei looked at the Night Monarch in silence for a moment before continuing, "If you keep dragging this out, I'll exterminate the Ant Tribe!"
"If you really exterminate the Ant Tribe, will the Celestial Court come and suppress the demons of Nine Hells?" The Night Monarch shook his head. "You wouldn't dare."
"Boom!"
Light erupted forth in all directions, engulfing and annihilating all things. Rocks, sinister devils, demons of Nine Hells, the atmosphere, everything within the space instantly disappeared, creating a circular space with a radius of over ten thousand feet.
At the very center, Emperor Ziwei and the Night Monarch were still locked in a stalemate.
The Night Monarch's expression did not fluctuate in the slightest as he looked calmly at the man before him. "The Ant Tribe must give birth to a 'king'. This is a necessary sacrifice. Otherwise, the Kingdom of the Nine States will pay an even greater price in the future."
Emperor Ziwei harrumphed coldly. "There's no need for that. Don't forget that Her Majesty Nuwa is on the side of the Celestial Court."
"Goddess Nuwa liked humans, and she even created a new world and created new humans. However, she was not a human …"
"Your calamity is the backlash of the entire continent. Given a tribulation of this level, don't you know what choice Mother Nuwa would make? "
"If you can't even make this little sacrifice, how can you struggle in this world?"
Ye Di's words were still unhurried, but every word seemed to pull people into an eternal slumber of darkness.
Emperor Ziwei closed his eyes, and the all-encompassing light around him also gradually faded.
Like an ordinary man, he turned around and left in the darkness.
"I can't feed the king of the Ant Tribe with the flesh and blood of humans."
Emperor Ziwei's body began to disappear into the darkness with this final sentence. …
Within the Abyss of Evil, the second wave of Ant Tribe swarms was destroying the defensive lines set up by the human cultivators.
The Cloud Mist Bridges had relatively weak defenses, and after the Ant Tribe broke through the human cultivators' defensive lines, they engulfed everything in their path. All of the human cultivators were drowned in the Ant Tide.
At the base of the Wen Valley Immortal Sect, a huge Qi Gathering Spell Formation enshrouded all of the cultivators.
They stood on a huge mountain and unleashed immortal spells toward the Ant Tribe down below.
This mountain was formed from an intermediate-rank spirit tool, so it was extremely sturdy. Even the teeth of the Ant Tribe couldn't bite through it.
On the ground below, the Ant Tribe corpses were about to pile up into mountains, and blood flowed like rivers.
At the same time, the Ant Tribe swarms were climbing higher and higher, like a wave that was becoming more and more turbulent.
All of the cultivators knew that if this black wave reached the top of the mountain, then all of the cultivators below the Spirit Nurturing Stage would perish here.
Liu Susu gripped her golden glazed longsword and slashed out thin sword projections toward the Ant Tribe swarms down below. She was only of the Fifth Stage Dao Body. Even though she was buffed by the Qi Gathering Spell Formation, the sword projections were only able to leave small scratches on the surface of the Ant Tribe swarms.
Even so, she gritted her teeth and continued to slash at the Ant Tribe swarms.
She thought of her family members who had perished in the hands of the Ant Tribe swarms. She thought of Senior An Lin who had gifted her a longsword. She knew that she couldn't let these people down. She had to give it her all.
The black wave was climbing higher and higher. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before she would also perish in the Ant Tribe swarms.
A hint of disappointment appeared on Liu Susu's face. It was a pity that Senior An Lin's sword would be lost …
The Cloud Mist Bridge was the largest in the Abyss of Evil, and the Ant Tribe swarms here were the most terrifying.
Not only were there huge Ant Tribe swarms crawling on the ground, but there were also flying ants flying toward them from the sky like a swarm of locusts.
The Celestial Court's stronghold was like a huge reef in the middle of the black wave, defending against the Ant Tribe swarms.
A series of dazzling immortal spells bombarded the Ant Tribe swarms, causing the golden city walls to tremble under the onslaught of the Ant Tribe. The flying ants in the sky were like a swarm of locusts, charging toward the cultivators in a frenzy. Once they broke through the defensive line of immortal spells, they wouldn't hesitate to tear the cultivators on the city walls apart.
In a battle like this, even teachers of the Soul Formation Stage would be exhausted and injured. There were simply too many Ant Tribe cultivators. They weren't perpetual motion machines, and there was bound to be a moment when they had to stop unleashing immortal spells.
The thousands of students present felt like they were about to collapse at any moment.
They had never encountered a battle like this. Mountains of corpses and seas of blood, rivers of blood that caused the earth to change color. Death loomed over them, and they could be torn apart by the flying ants in the sky if they weren't careful.
They couldn't stop, and they didn't dare to. They swallowed Essence Replenishing Pills, drank Mai Dong, and drank Treasure Kidney to force themselves to continue fighting. Perhaps they would transform during this battle, or perhaps they would fall into an eternal slumber here …
At the Wen Valley Immortal Sect's defensive position.
The Ant Tribe had already reached the mountain. They charged toward the crowd in a frenzy with their bloody mouths wide open.
Liu Hu shielded Liu Susu tightly behind him, but his body was also trembling uncontrollably.
However, right at this moment, the frenzied Ant Tribe army suddenly stopped.
Their eyes became blank and unfocused, and they were as still as statues.
"Rumble …"
The cultivators didn't stop attacking, and they continued to annihilate the Ant Tribe army on the mountain.
Before they could figure out why the Ant Tribe army had stopped attacking, the Ant Tribe army began to move again in the next instant.
The cultivators began to panic again, and they unleashed immortal spells toward the Ant Tribe army down below without any regard for their lives.
Something strange happened at this moment. The Ant Tribe army suddenly didn't look like an army anymore. The army was orderly, and even the battle had a direction and a goal. But now, the Ant Tribe army had become chaotic and disorderly. They scurried around, trampled, and ran aimlessly in all directions. Some of them even attacked the giant ants around them, and some even ate their own comrades …
All the cultivators looked on with their mouths agape at the sight of the Ant Tribe army collapsing.
"What's going on? Have they all gone insane?"
Liu Susu's bright eyes widened in disbelief.
The Ant Tribe was bloodthirsty and gluttonous, but this was the first time she had seen giant ants that would even eat their own comrades.
Although there were no giant ants targeting the cultivators on the mountain, they didn't stop attacking in fear that the Ant Tribe army would suddenly return to order.
At the Heavenly Court's base, when everyone saw the disorderly Ant Tribe army, cheers of joy erupted from the city walls.
The Ant Queen was the conscious controller of the Ant Tribe army on the front lines. There was only one reason why the Ant Tribe army had fallen into chaos, and that was because the Ant Queen was dead! The mission to decapitate the Ant Queen was a success!
At the same time, their large-scale battle against the Ant Tribe army had officially begun.
