"Demon-Devouring Ants — it's a Demon-Devouring Ant Tide!"
The moment he clearly made out those purple, chopstick-shaped demon insects,
"Go — back to the city, now!"
In just a few flickers, the azure streak of light had already traveled over a hundred zhang away!
The young girl hastily rolled across the ground, transforming back into her true form as a small beast and racing after him. Once she caught up, she flickered and vanished into
The insect tide behind them was by no means slow, but under
Something strange then happened. Once the purple cloud had finally devoured all of the green mist, the sky-covering mass of light clouds trembled gently, then suddenly receded like a tide, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Though
"What on earth is happening here? First the Butterfly-tail beasts forming a beast tide, and now even the Demon-Devouring Ants have appeared! An ant tide formed by these insects is one of the great natural disasters of the Demon World — it simply cannot be resisted by any mortal force."
A single Demon-Devouring Ant was barely comparable to a mere Qi Condensation cultivator in strength. But once they formed an ant tide, relying on their innate ability to devour spiritual and demonic energy along with their staggering, soul-crushing numbers, they could slaughter anything in their path — demons, buddhas, or anything else — and simply could not be exterminated by any mortal means.
It was said that wherever an ant tide broke out, not a blade of grass would survive — everything in its path would be devoured clean by the Demon-Devouring Ants.
The beast tide formed by the Butterfly-tail beasts was already terrifying enough, but compared to the ant tide, it was utterly insignificant — the difference in danger was not even worth mentioning.
After all, according to the rumors, there had even been precedents of Holy Sovereign-level existences being drained of all their Magical Power by this ant tide and trapped until they perished.
Therefore, even though
But when
At that moment, Blood Crow City was surrounded on all sides by waves upon waves of demon beasts of various sizes — so tightly besieged that not even water could seep through. There appeared to be several million of them.
The auras of these demon beasts varied in strength, but among them, several particularly powerful ones seemed to possess spiritual pressure no weaker than that of a demon race Sovereign.
But what was even more peculiar was that these demon beasts were not attacking Blood Crow City. Instead, certain species had gathered in huddled clusters, staring uncertainly toward the surrounding wasteland and letting out occasional uneasy growls.
The battlements of Blood Crow City were also packed with a great number of demon cultivators. Among them were the city's own guards, but the majority were ordinary demon residents who had been staying in the city.
They paid no attention whatsoever to the demon beasts beyond the barrier, instead staring with expressions of fear fixedly toward the far end of the wasteland, as though something unspeakably terrifying would appear there at any moment.
"Could it be that the demon cultivators in the city already know the Demon-Devouring Ants are about to arrive?" Upon seeing such a strange scene,
With
The layered barriers that had already been activated merely rippled slightly upon his passage, utterly incapable of hindering
Though the many demon cultivators on the city walls were startled by his sudden arrival, under the current circumstances, no one came forward to intercept or question him.
With a flash of azure light,
At that moment, Blood Crow City was in complete chaos. The no-flight restrictions had clearly been lifted, and all manner of streaks of light darted about the sky. A number of demon cultivators had gathered in groups, riding on columns of demonic wind, whispering among themselves with grave expressions.
