Upon waking, before Jiang Ping had even washed up, he suddenly sensed a change in the Primordial World.
Opening the Creation Diary to look, Jiang Ping was a little stunned.
"Queen Bersha, who had dominated the world for a million years, is dead? She did not die of old age, but was personally murdered by her own son, the Ant King."
The scene recorded in the Creation Diary of the Ant King's appearance was simply unprecedented. Even Sacred Tree Lahil, the strongest life-form at the beginning of the world, had never received such an evaluation.
Ignoring breakfast, Jiang Ping hurried to check on the Primordial World. Was the newborn Ant King really that ferocious?
The Ant Queen had truly given him a huge surprise.
At this moment, the Primordial World was engulfed in war. Wails of misery rose from every continent. The moment the Ant King appeared, he summoned Devouring Ants from all regions to come and pay homage to their born king.
"He is a super warrior personally birthed by the progenitor, but this is far too powerful! It simply defies reason!"
An Ant Queen who had come on pilgrimage began to tremble.
Whoosh
In an instant too quick for the naked eye to perceive, King Beo had already plucked off the speaking Ant Queen's head.
King Beo violently flicked his right hand, spraying Ant Queen blood everywhere and frightening the other warriors into trembling.
"Who gave you permission to speak? Who gave you permission to judge me?"
Ten billion Devouring Ants knelt at once. "King!"
"King!"
Their eyes burned with madness as they looked at this king as powerful as a deity. With absolute strength, the Ant King easily seized control of the entire Ant Race.
Such a massive movement by the Devouring Ants naturally could not escape humanity's notice. In Ancient Era records, the forefathers had specifically marked the threat posed by Devouring Ants in red.
They were the enemy of the Myriad Races, pests of the world. Even the destruction of the ancient epoch had been caused by the Myriad Races fighting a great war against them.
The Human Race's great experts had thought another extraordinary Ant Queen had been born. Who could have expected such a terrifying Ant King to appear instead?
According to the report sent before the observing Wind God Dragon died, ten billion Ant Race members had knelt before the central Ant King. His radiance was so powerful that even the Wind God Dragon ten thousand meters in the sky could not look directly at him.
The instant it looked upon the Ant King, the Wind God Dragon died! Before dying, it transmitted the information through the highest-grade alchemical communicator.
"Heaven has doomed us!"
A white-haired king said despairingly.
Yet the Human Race and the Myriad Races would not simply wait for death. Using the latest communicators, the strongest kingdom from the former central ancestral land issued a call. The Human Race and Myriad Races formed the Sacred Primordial Alliance and marched toward the continent where the Ant King lay!
A thousand ships raced forward, ten thousand sails unfurled.
Mighty warships led the strongest warriors toward the Ant Race continent, their enormous fleet seeming to split apart the sea itself.
Along the way, powerful sea beasts occasionally leaped from the water, escorting the fleet and guiding its direction.
This battle did not involve humanity alone. Experts from the Myriad Races had also come to help. It was as though the scene of the ancient epoch had returned.
"The last great war shattered the Supercontinent and split heaven and earth. The world fell apart and was no longer As One. This time will likely surpass even that!" an old Pegasus king sighed.
This expedition went unbelievably smoothly. The waters along the way were calm, and even the wind blew in their favor. What should have been a half-month journey was miraculously cut in half.
The Myriad Races experts sighed. "Even the world is aiding us. The Devouring Ants will surely die this time."
The warriors aboard the warships were equally jubilant and excited for the coming battle. Only the top-tier experts felt a faint sense of unease.
If even the world was helping them, just how terrifying would their enemy be this time?
A great battle was about to erupt. Before the Myriad Races warriors arrived, the nearby sea clans had already gathered basic intelligence.
The Devouring Ants had also vigorously developed water ants in the new epoch. The clans near the Ant Race continent had nearly all been slaughtered.
Neither side bothered with any probing. The instant they came into contact, the most violent clash erupted.
Bang!
Bang!...
Cannon fire shook the heavens, and smoke shrouded the entire continent. Ten thousand mighty warships surrounded it and launched blanket bombardments, firing all manner of powerful alchemical explosives as though they cost nothing.
The Myriad Races experts marveled at the Human Race's wealth, while the warriors lamented that the stingy higher-ups had become so generous this time that they had even put up all their capital.
The Devouring Ants were also blasted into massive casualties. Countless Ant Race members were blown to pieces.
The continent was shaved down by a full thirty meters, yet within minutes it was filled again by the corpses of the ant swarm.
The Ant King's central location suffered even more frenzied assault. Not only did the fleet's cannons fire from the sea, but Wind God Dragons in the sky carried pilots and dropped a thousand explosives within a single minute.
Mixed among them were armor-piercing bombs specially developed to kill super experts.
After a full half-hour of bombardment, a thousand layers of mist rose from the sea. The continent had been completely transformed into a devastated wasteland. When the smoke dispersed, everyone discovered that the ant swarm on the continent had not diminished at all. Ants still poured endlessly out of the ground.
At the central point watched by countless people, a black figure stood like a god or demon, completely unharmed!
At that moment, in the palaces of distant continents, countless experts lost focus and collapsed.
Such dense artillery bombardment had not harmed him in the slightest!
Kill!
The Devouring Ants began their counterattack. Flying ants filled the sky as they charged forward, countless Metal Ants advanced across the ground, and there were even scattered Ant Tribe Heroes.
The Human Race's elite warriors also led Myriad Races experts onto the continent, beginning a bloody battle with the Devouring Ants!
The most brutal close-quarters combat began on the battlefield in an instant.
King Beo watched his kin fight with cold eyes, his entire body motionless and without the slightest desire to act.
"Capture the bandits by first capturing their king!"
Led by the most powerful Saint-level experts, a special assault team pierced through the battlefield and slowly advanced toward the central Ant King.
Outside, Jiang Ping took out the pancake wrap he had just bought, drank steaming soy milk, and sat on the sofa watching the battle.
"Ah, the gap is simply too great."
Jiang Ping shook his head. The outcome of this battle had already been decided.
One day. In just one day, the Sacred Primordial Alliance expeditionary force led by the Human Race was annihilated!
Not a single Saint-level expert leading the force survived!
Inside the headquarters deep in the ocean, Human Race experts watched the transmitted information with chills running down their spines.
The Ant King had barely acted in this battle, but every time he did, he destroyed everything with overwhelming force.
One strike destroyed the flagship. One move killed a Saint-level expert.
"Th-this is still a living creature? That Combat Power is simply like a god's!"
A grand scholar said tremblingly.
The others also fell silent. A deathly stillness filled the room as the Ant King's Combat Power weighed heavily upon everyone's hearts.
"What if we surrender? Could the Devouring Ants spare us? We would accept even the cruelest and harshest conditions, as long as our races can survive!"
After a long while, this voice rang out. The grand scholar said bitterly:
"Devouring Ants are murderous by nature and devour all things, leaving no path of survival for other life-forms. Otherwise, neither the Ancient Era nor the current Myriad Races Alliance could have been established!"
The grand scholar paused, then continued, "If the Devouring Ants could accommodate other races, the world would have long since been ruled by them!"
Everyone present turned deathly pale. Any one of them could cause the outside world to quake with a single stomp, yet now they saw nothing but darkness ahead, and the deepest despair surged into their hearts.
Sob
Gradually, the sound of sobbing echoed through the room, growing louder and louder until even the guards outside were bewildered.
Under the immense threat of their races' extinction, even these great figures could no longer endure.
"Such a bloodthirsty race, such a terrifying Ant King—why do the gods not send down heavenly punishment to destroy them?" a royal grand doctor said despairingly.
When people lost all hope, they began to place it in the gods.
Unexpectedly, this sentence suddenly ignited the grand scholar's heart. He abruptly raised his head and wiped the tears from the corner of his eye.
"We still have hope! The Ant King's Combat Power defies the heavens, and his defense is even more astonishing. If there is only one weapon in the world capable of hurting him, it is the legendary Spear of Destiny!"
Everyone's eyes lit up. Although the Spear of Destiny had vanished long ago, this was still a real thread of hope!
What's more, after years of gathered accumulations from generations of people, especially the posthumous work of Sea King Lu Fei, the location of the Spear of Destiny had been continuously narrowed down.
A king wearing a Dragon imperial robe suddenly stood. He was Jingshan, king of the Sunset Empire, the strongest kingdom in the central ancestral land, and also the Alliance Leader of the Sacred Primordial Alliance!
Although his Combat Power was not the greatest in the world, he was the most powerful man in the world!
"Send word to every kingdom and every race. Use every possible means to search for information about the Spear of Destiny, and urgently requisition all civilian ships to salvage sunken ships from the seabed!"
He paused, then continued, "At the same time, find Gai Feng, the Human Race's strongest expert who disappeared long ago, and invite him to meet me! This is our only hope!"
