A black-haired man stood in the void, the sheepskin scroll in his hand emitting a faint glow. A pillar of light erupted from the center of each barrier at Dao City University, illuminating the sky and drawing a white magic array in the air.
"This array..."
Ye Ling's gaze sharpened as he saw the patterns of the white array in the night sky, his surprise evident.
The array was identical to the one the Heavenly Net Ghost King had used to achieve godhood!
"No! That's not right... this array is far more complex than the Heavenly Net Ghost King's, many details have been perfected."
"This array is a higher tier than the one the Heavenly Net Ghost King possessed!"
"Could it be that Hongchen Pavilion was collecting and perfecting data by giving the Heavenly Net Ghost King the array?"
Ye Ling carefully scanned the array in the sky, sensing the aura of a powerful being, one not of this mortal realm.
"Night grants me eyes of darkness, karmic fire burns the fallen world, spirits slumbering in the abyss, hear my call, let your divine might descend upon the earth, and devour this decaying world."
The black-haired man's ethereal voice echoed through Dao City University. The array in the sky suddenly turned crimson, and blood flowed from it, raining down upon Dao City University!
The atmosphere suddenly became oppressive and terrifying.
Su Xiaobai, who was struggling to stabilize the students in the playground, suddenly felt drops of blood land on him, and his entire being froze.
"Ghosts!!!"
The students in the playground screamed again, and many fainted from fear!
"What is that?"
Wang Liren stared at the array in the sky in horror. He could feel an extreme danger emanating from the array, making his scalp tingle!
Boom!
The ground shook violently, and countless Dragon Division cultivators felt their bodies weaken, their strength rapidly draining.
"What happened?"
"Where did my cultivation go?"
"I... I can't move..."
Wails erupted everywhere. The cultivators from the Dragon Division who had rushed to reinforce them collapsed to the ground, their cultivation plummeting to its lowest point.
Panic spread through the school.
Even the sleeping students began to lose their life force.
"Who summons me?"
A chilling, abyss-like presence surged from the array, followed by the emergence of a hundred-meter-tall demon wreathed in flames from the array.
The blood rain was scorched clean by the flames.
The demon's terrifying pressure swept across Dao City, and the night sky turned crimson under the scorching of its flames!
The sheepskin scroll in front of the black-haired man turned to ash.
He placed one hand on his chest and bowed respectfully to the demon, "Thank you, great Demon Lord Anmimos, for answering the call from the East. My name is Yang Yuhao, your loyal servant."
"To think a yellow-skinned monkey summoned me..." Anmimos's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom. "Be it so, not many in this era can gather the offerings to summon my avatar to the mortal world."
"What wish do you have for me to fulfill?"
Yang Yuhao pointed at Ye Ling in Dao City University below and said, "Your servant requests the execution of Ye Ling."
Anmimos followed Yang Yuhao's gaze and saw Ye Ling standing alone in Dao City University. Anger flashed in his eyes, "You summoned me to the mortal world just to crush an insect?"
Anmimos was enraged.
In the past, any sorcerer who summoned him would at least ask him to destroy a city or annihilate a country, deeds he had done countless times.
For demons, the desires and fears of mortals were their greatest source of power.
He had awakened from his slumber and stepped into the mortal world, expecting to wreak havoc and create endless fear.
Yet, he never expected that the contractor who summoned him only wanted to kill one person!
Bound by the contract, Anmimos had no choice but to fulfill Yang Yuhao's wish, no matter how unwilling he was.
"Ye Ling, run quickly... that's not an enemy we can fight!"
"That's a god!!!"
Wang Liren, slumped on the ground, roared at Ye Ling, urging him to escape!
The appearance of a demon, a creature that shouldn't exist, had completely shattered Wang Liren's worldview!
There truly were gods and demons in this world...
Ye Ling seemed not to hear Wang Liren's shouts. He was curiously observing Anmimos in the sky.
This descending demon was merely an avatar, but its power already rivaled that of a ninth-rank Hongchen Immortal, a world-shattering force.
Although the Eastern Xuan Continent, like Earth, had a Heavenly Dao, there were no gods on the Eastern Xuan Continent. Humans and demons coexisted on the continent.
Therefore, in Ye Ling's eyes, the creature that humans considered a demon was merely a demon race slightly stronger than Earth humans.
Yang Yuhao clearly had a way to deal with Anmimos's displeasure. He said respectfully, "Respected Lord Anmimos, Ye Ling's strength is comparable to a Hongchen Immortal, the most delicious food in the human world."
"Killing him alone is worth more than destroying a city. The world will forever remember your might."
Ye Ling had single-handedly wiped out the East Sea branch, and the eighth-rank cultivators at Dao City University were slaughtered by Ye Ling like pigs. His strength was evident.
Yang Yuhao naturally did not underestimate him.
"Oh?"
Anmimos's interest was piqued upon hearing Yang Yuhao's words. He looked at Ye Ling and examined him carefully.
"Speaking of which, that mortal is the only one who hasn't been afraid after seeing me. I'm getting a little excited."
Anmimos's lips curled into an exaggerated smile, and his hundred-meter-tall body rapidly shrunk to two meters.
He instantly appeared before Ye Ling and reached out to touch Ye Ling's face, "You yellow-skinned monkey, let me have a good look, can you make me have some fun..."
Slap!
Before Anmimos could finish speaking, Ye Ling slapped him across the face, sending him flying!
Anmimos shot out like a cannonball, rolling dozens of times on the ground, leaving a long gash.
Smoke billowed.
Ye Ling instantly reappeared before Anmimos and stomped on his face, "A godling with no power, yet you're quite the show-off."
The entire scene fell into dead silence.
Yang Yuhao and the cultivators from the Dragon Division stared blankly at Ye Ling, who was stepping on the demon, their minds a complete blank.
"This, this..."
Wang Liren, lying on the ground, felt his mouth dry and couldn't utter a complete sentence!
The arrival of the demon had already shattered his worldview, but he never expected that the most shocking event was yet to come!
Slapping a demon and then stepping on it...
Was this something a human could do?
"Impossible... how can a mere yellow-skinned monkey possess such power?"
Anmimos, whose face was being stepped on by Ye Ling, was stunned. He refused to believe the reality. The flames surrounding him surged and wrapped around Ye Ling.
"Still not behaving?"
Seeing this, Ye Ling stomped down with force, directly crushing Anmimos's head!
Crimson blood splattered everywhere!
The flames around Anmimos instantly extinguished. His writhing body became like a dead fish, motionless.
"Gulp!"
Yang Yuhao stared at Ye Ling in the school in horror, swallowed hard, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.
This, this monster!
How could it have become like this?
Just how strong was that Ye Ling?
Who was the real demon!!!
Yang Yuhao had gone mad!
