"You're asking to die!"
The giant beast awoke. Seeing its kin being slaughtered, it turned toward the ant-sized players, its enormous eyes filled with fury.
Kill!
They all had to die!
Anyone who dared slaughter its species deserved death.
With that thought,
the giant beast slammed a claw down with enough force to seemingly split rivers and cleave seas.
"Watch out!"
Sensing that world-destroying power, Liu Qinghong's expression changed.
He formed a hand seal, and as his true essence surged, it condensed into a barrier around him.

The giant beast roared inwardly.
It could not believe that its full-powered claw strike had failed to kill the ant before it. Never mind killing him—it had not even broken his protective shield.
"What's going on?"
Meanwhile, Liu Qinghong was equally dumbfounded.
The giant beast's aura could not be fake.

A breakthrough?

The cultivation realm on his status panel was no different from before.
The silence lasted several seconds.
Soon,
Liu Qinghong recovered and swept his hand forward. "Kill!"
Whatever the reason,
since the giant beast could do nothing to him, there was nothing more to discuss.
They would wipe out its species,
then
