As Wei Jin shot out the rockets, the people below already sensed the approaching danger.
The crawling creatures that had been raging earlier suddenly changed into their true forms and darted out, though it was unclear who made the first move.
This single action triggered a chain reaction.
One hundred thousand Black Python Scaled Serpents instantly appeared.
Their sudden movement caused the unexploded fire oil bags that had fallen to the ground to burst open.
The sprayed fire oil coated their serpentine bodies.
"Myriad Beasts Seal... Suppress!"
A yellowish seal appeared above Chu Tian's head.
It emitted thousands of silken rays, faint and ethereal, blanketing the sand pit.
The giant pythons attempting to escape were instantly forced back to the ground.
Boom…
At that very moment, the sky suddenly cleared.
One hundred thousand rockets appeared from nowhere.
They illuminated the entire sand pit area with brilliant firelight.
They could no longer be called rockets; they should be called a rain of fire!
When Wei Jin's rockets accurately struck a giant serpent,
the rain of fire poured down.
Hoo…
The next moment, flames surged skyward.
"Ah…"
"No…"
"Young Master, save me…"
"Help… let me out…"
Within the sand pit, a hundred thousand giant serpents writhed.
Covered in fire oil, even rolling in the sand wouldn't easily extinguish the flames.
What's more, these demonic beasts understood nothing…
They only knew to thrash about wildly.
If there were only one or two giant pythons, they might have been able to roll out the flames.
But unfortunately, there were too many below. Even if you extinguished your own flames,
another giant python, ablaze, would soon crash into you.
Flames that had just been extinguished would instantly reignite.
Chu Tian stood at the edge of the sand pit, his expression calm.
He thought to himself, these crawling creatures have remarkably tenacious life forces; they haven't died instantly even after being burned like this.
"Fire oil… throw another wave!"
Chu Tian's calm voice echoed.
"How dare you…"
The brute standing opposite the sand pit had bloodshot eyes.
Upon hearing Chu Tian's words, he urged his giant eagle forward and charged towards Chu Tian.
"Chu Tian, this fellow was at the peak of the Earth Soul realm three years ago. After obtaining third place, he entered the Myriad Beasts Pool.
Upon exiting, he had already reached the middle stage of the Samsara realm, clearly awakening his bloodline.
In the past three years, he has likely improved further!"
Ding Ding quickly whispered in Chu Tian's ear as he saw the brute charging.
"Heh heh… esteemed sirs, you've watched enough of the excitement. Now someone intends to kill this City Lord.
What do you think should be done?"
Chu Tian simply smiled, completely ignoring the charging figure.
Nor did he spare a glance at the stunned Xiao Chen and Yan Wu beside him.
He looked up at the twenty thousand bags of fire oil descending from the sky.
Before they even reached the bottom of the pit, they exploded due to the intense heat.
The fire oil ignited in the air, scattering evenly onto each giant python's body with streaks of flame.
The screams, roars, and cries of pain became even more agonizing.
Ding Ding glanced down from behind Chu Tian.
He immediately felt a wave of nausea.
He quickly turned his gaze elsewhere.
After hearing Chu Tian's words,
Xiao Chen and Yan Wu exchanged glances for a moment.
They saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
The new City Lord of Myriad Beasts City was clearly testing their resolve.
By this time, the brute was less than ten meters from Chu Tian.
The two of them glanced at Old Yang lying on the ground.
They weren't sure if he was truly drunk or just pretending.
Setting him aside, this Third Master Chu was not someone to be trifled with.
The hundred thousand giant pythons in the fiery pit were the best example.
If they didn't perform well, this fellow might very well act against their own kin.
Since things had come to this, they might as well go all out…
The two had known each other for thousands of years, and they saw determination in each other's eyes.
Thus, their figures flickered, and they struck out simultaneously.
…
"You…"
The brute, about to reach Chu Tian, uttered the last two words of his life before Xiao Chen grabbed his neck.
Crack…
His skull was shattered by Yan Wu.
There was no brilliant combat, only the crushing might of their realms.
After the brute died, his true form fell into the sand pit and was instantly consumed by the flames.
Although Chu Tian's gaze was fixed below, he witnessed this entire scene.
This feeling of possessing authority… and… power… was truly exhilarating.
No wonder humans on Blue Star pursued power so desperately.
They would even go so far as to commit acts that violated laws and conscience.
Pity… Chu Tian only found it exhilarating.
[Ding… System prompt: Mission [Twist Faith] progress 2%, Protagonist still needs to work hard!]
The sudden system prompt caused Chu Tian to pause.
Was it because he had wiped out a demonic beast clan that this mission, which he didn't know how to complete,
had started showing progress?
Only two percent progress had been made!
Hundreds of thousands of lives were extinguished…
To complete this mission, would he need to eliminate all demonic beast clans in the entire Southwest Region?
How many would that be? Millions? Tens of millions? Hundreds of millions?
If that were the case, he wouldn't want the rewards for this mission.
He, Chu Tian… would not slaughter the innocent.
However… those infamous demonic beast clans still needed to be purged!
Wei Jin, riding his Mo Qilin, landed beside Chu Tian.
Seeing Chu Tian remain silent, he naturally did not speak.
Xiao Chen and Yan Wu, feeling uneasy, also moved closer.
These two War God realm powerhouses, who had lived for thousands of years,
felt a sense of trepidation for the first time.
This Third Master Chu beside them was simply a devil, more brutal than them, the demonic beasts.
Those were one hundred thousand pure-blooded demonic beasts, burned to death alive like that.
The Black Python Scaled Serpents were thoroughly wiped out from the Sea of Death tonight.
The royal lineage of the demonic beast race had one of its branches completely extinguished.
The screams from below gradually began to dwindle.
The rolling flames began to burn calmly.
The sand around the sand pit had already melted, baked into a vitreous state.
Chu Tian stood there, gazing below as the flames gradually extinguished.
The glass cooled…
In fact… his divine sense had long since penetrated the ground.
Although calm on the surface, he was inwardly overjoyed.
Beneath the glass, there was indeed, as they had said,
an underground city.
Layer by layer, on the lowest level, Chu Tian discovered the boxes he had seen on the supply cart in Clear Water City.
However… the inscription on them was [Hurricane City], he recognized those four characters!
The quadruplet sisters had told him this when they were shopping.
The boxes were full, packed with spatial pouches.
What was inside the pouches could not be investigated; such spatial equipment, without opening the mouth of the pouch,
divine sense could not penetrate inside.
However, whatever it was, it would be more than what he got from robbing the Clear Water City caravan.
These items should have been placed here by the Hurricane Chariot for the Black Python Scaled Serpents to sell, or to acquire resources from other demonic beast clans.
"Sirs… I won't be going down there. You can go and clear out the items!"
Chu Tian turned and said to Xiao Chen and Yan Wu with a smile.
The two hesitated for a moment, then nodded at Chu Tian.
With a flash, they arrived at the bottom of the pit.
They found the holes from which the giant serpents had emerged and went down.
"Chu Tian… letting them go down to collect supplies, aren't we losing out?"
Wei Jin, riding his Mo Qilin, came to Chu Tian's side.
Chu Tian smiled mysteriously and said to him.
"Heh heh… I told them to collect, but I didn't say they would get it all.
It depends on how they act…
Alright, leave some to maintain the formation, and the rest of you come over and set up camp.
Daybreak is approaching, we will rest here.
We will depart for the next location in the evening!"
Wei Jin nodded, "Mm!"
He had never imagined that a demonic beast clan, the Black Python Scaled Serpents at the apex of the food chain, could be so easily annihilated by them.
So this was how fire oil could be used…
In fact, Chu Tian hadn't expected it to be so easy either.
All the credit for this should go to Old Yang and the Mo Qilin.
It's just… why did Old Yang faint after just one burst of effort?
He had already used a set of healing skills on Old Yang,
but there was no effect. It was clear he wasn't unconscious from injury.
He could only wait for him to wake up and question him thoroughly.
After a full two hours, the two War God realm powerhouses, Xiao Chen and Yan Wu, flew out of the sand pit.
Upon emerging, they were surprised.
The edge of the sand pit had become a camp.
The banner of the Central Military Guard of Myriad Beasts City was planted in the center of the camp.
The soldiers who had started fires to cook did not stop them; instead, they nodded in greeting.
Xiao Chen and Yan Wu became even more curious as to how this group had appeared so suddenly.
And during the attack, the rockets seemed to have traversed through space, appearing directly above the sand pit.
Even as War God realm experts, they could not fathom such mystical means.
How would they know that it was a Grand Illusion Array cast by twenty thousand Samsara realm Illusory Kirins?
