The Cat Venerable had vanished without a trace.
Another question arose: how long had the Cat Venerable been gone?
If Mount Mao was like this, what about other forbidden grounds?
The White Fox's clone swiftly returned to the Fox Forest.
Everything the clone witnessed would only be known to the main body after its return.
...
After the White Fox's clone returned to its main body.
"Boom."
Soon, all three clones appeared.
Dragon Pool, Iron Mountain, Green Mountain Peak...
The White Fox's clone had left swiftly and returned even faster.
The news brought back by the clone filled the White Fox with terror.
They were gone, all of them gone.
Including the Cat Venerable, four powerful beast venerables had disappeared without a sound.
The White Fox felt a profound terror.
The scenes were identical, with illusions concealing the forbidden grounds to prevent others from noticing.
"Something's happened, something big has happened."
The terrified White Fox made an instant decision.
Leave.
Although other venerables existed in the Western Region, she didn't want to investigate further.
Perhaps, the final discovery would be even more despairing.
"Boom."
The White Fox's figure shot into the sky instantly.
However...
Chik.
A sharp sword light appeared in the sky, slashing down fiercely.
Rumble!
The sword light was too sharp.
It directly tore through the White Fox's defenses, severing one of its tails, and its main body tumbled down in disarray.
"Ah..."
The White Fox cried out in agony.
Its scream echoed through heaven and earth, spreading beyond the Western Region in all directions.
"Sigh."
With a faint sigh, Chen Fan emerged, sword in hand.
Looking at the White Fox that had just emerged from the ground, his expression was one of regret: "So perceptive. If I had waited another minute, this wouldn't have happened. What a pity..."
Chen Fan and Wu Sheng had killed as quickly as possible.
They had just dealt with the last beast venerable besides the White Fox and had rushed back at their fastest pace. Before they could even set up a seal, the White Fox had escaped.
There was no choice but to intercept.
The news could no longer be concealed.
The White Fox's shrill voice echoed through heaven and earth: "Fellow Daoists, the human race has massacred all the venerables in the Western Region."
The sound spread.
"Boom."
Instantly, waves of world-shaking auras erupted.
Finally, the Giant Python instantly soared into the sky and charged towards the Western Region.
The great python traversed the sky, riding the wind.
The moment the news was exposed...
"Retreat."
The beast army, which was fighting in the Southern Region, instantly fell back.
Concurrently, from the direction of Wenlan City, Chu Laomo and others, who had been leisurely playing, exploded with power.
Chu Laomo, Tinuk, Fire Demon, Linglong, Hong Si...
The five instantly converged, unleashing a full-power attack.
"Bang."
A beast venerable was instantly killed.
"Defend."
Chu Laomo roared.
The major cities of the Eastern Region were put on full alert.
The beast army charged towards Wenlan City with all their might.
Behind them, ten powerful beings occupying the Marshland in the Southern Region, launched a joint attack.
Dark clouds churned, pursuing them.
...
Northern Region.
The moment the White Fox's voice spread across the land.
With the advantage of foresight against surprise, both sides struck with full force simultaneously, and two beast venerables were simultaneously slain.
"Converge." The Great Wind Novel Network
The two major forces immediately joined forces.
Their previous conflicts were cast aside before the battle of species.
Survival was paramount.
The Skull Society headquarters and the Dark Church arrived, joining forces for a full defense.
"Kill."
All the beast venerables in the Northern Region launched their attacks.
The battle instantly entered a fever pitch.
...
And at this moment, in the Western Region.
"Kill."
Chen Fan and Wu Sheng, fighting in tandem, slew the White Fox in the blink of an eye.
The great python arrived.
"Boom."
Its tail, like a mountain range, rolled in.
The sky shattered, and before the tail even fell, Wu Sheng was already spitting blood.
He was not yet a venerable, and after fighting continuously, his consumption was immense.
"Get lost."
Chen Fan roared.
The Tian Cong Yun Sword struck the mountain-like tail, causing it to tremble but continue its descent.
It was too massive, impossible to evade.
"So strong."
The falling mountain seemed intent on crushing Chen Fan's physical body.
At this moment, Chen Fan roared, "Zeus, the Western Region has been emptied. It's time for the Hall of Gods to act."
According to their agreement that day, once Chen Fan conquered a region, the Hall of Gods would be responsible for its defense.
"Buzz."
The Hall of Gods was originally in the Central Region.
The moment Chen Fan's voice spread, from the distant Central Region, powerful auras suddenly erupted across the land.
Accompanying the auras was a ship, an airship.
"Attack."
Zeus, clad in golden armor, with six venerables behind him, stood at the bow of the ship.
The might of the Hall of Gods, with seven venerables upon their first move, plus an incredibly powerful flying artifact.
"Boom."
Before the other venerables in the Central Region could react.
The airship warped and began to space jump.
After several jumps, the airship appeared in the Western Region.
"Kill."
The seven joined forces, striking at the descending mountain-like tail.
Bang.
The mountain was directly shattered.
The great python was indeed powerful, but it was not invincible.
Seven venerables fighting in unison were fully capable of killing it.
"Roar."
The great python roared.
Its tail was bloody, its skin torn.
In the Central Region, powerful beasts ascended one after another, gazing towards the distant Western Region with boiling killing intent.
Not just the Western Region; at this moment, the killing intent of all beast venerables across the entire Damelia Continent was spreading towards the Western Region.
Beyond Damelia, the four surrounding seas seemed to have even more powerful auras surging and spreading.
"There's more?"
Chen Fan's expression changed.
Were there beasts in the four seas as well?
He had clearly sensed the few powerful beings that had fallen from the sky that day, very few had landed intact.
But now, he sensed auras even more powerful than the great python, spreading from the four seas.
Damn.
Chen Fan almost cursed.
There were still more.
If this was all there was on the continent, and there were still more in the sea, how were they supposed to live?
...
Heaven and earth fell silent, only killing intent spread.
"Human race."
The great python spoke first: "You have initiated a war by slaughtering my demon beast race. As such, my sons, kill! Let all humans be turned into blood food."
"Yes."
Boom boom boom.
Across heaven and earth, powerful venerables unleashed their auras, preparing to attack.
Chen Fan's face was exceedingly solemn: "Lord Zeus, the Western Region can no longer be held. Take the surviving humans to the Northern Region."
Zeus wanted to curse.
Damn it, this had blown up.
He hadn't expected there to be so many demon beasts in the four seas.
"I told you the spatial gate shouldn't have been opened," Zeus wanted to curse.
"Stop the nonsense."
Time was pressing: "Hurry and take the people to the Western Region. Since the Hall of Gods has come out, there's no going back. Help defend the Northern Region, I'm returning to the Eastern Region immediately."
Defend.
Although it might not be possible to hold the line, they had to do what they could.
"Sigh."
Zeus was distressed.
But given the circumstances, this was all they could do. He gave the order: "Immediately gather all surviving humans in the Western Region and take them to the Northern Region."
"Yes."
Powerful beings spread out in all directions.
"The rest, remain vigilant."
The beast horde hadn't reached the Western Region yet, there was still time.
Simultaneously, Chen Fan and Wu Sheng charged madly towards the Eastern Region.
"Stop them," the great python ordered.
As long as Chen Fan was killed, the human race would be leaderless.
