Chapter 1152: Chapter 1156: Emperor of Terror in the Underworld Chapter 1152: Chapter 1156: Emperor of Terror in the Underworld …

Leaving the Xuange Country Capital, Zhu Minglang flew towards the divine territory of God Country, three thousand miles to the northwest.

Night once again turned to midnight, and that chilling sensation felt as if one were soaked in a pond of snow water–deeply uncomfortable.

Three thousand miles were not too far for a Xuanlong. Upon finding Wu Lan Country, Zhu Minglang saw its boundless grasslands, half of which were covered with night snow. If starlight had poured down, this place would definitely have been unspeakably beautiful.

Among the fields of white snow, gradually, spots of crimson started to appear.

Finally, Zhu Minglang saw a large expanse of blood-red that stained the silvery snow startlingly, even the night snow falling from the sky was red. The biting cold air carried a pungent smell that matched the crossroads of the Underworld.

Zhu Minglang felt a heaviness in his heart, now understanding why Li Xinghua had looked so terrible upon foreseeing this place.

Upon arriving at the Capital of Wu Lan Country, Zhu Minglang discovered that the entire city had no lights.

The pitch-black Human City was heavy with death, and that piercing smell became increasingly intense, assaulted by the wind sweeping over the plains and nearly suffocating.

The Capital of Wu Lan Country, like Xuange Country Capital, was a Colorful Pavilion City, where one could see many pavilions as colorful as the clouds at dawn.

Right in the bustling area where the Colorful Pavilions stood tall, Zhu Minglang saw a huge, dark figure. It sat among those pavilions and palaces, its corpulent body crushing numerous buildings, its massive head even taller than the loftiest pavilion towers.

It resembled a pig demon, evidently having eaten until its stomach ballooned, yet its massive hands continued to grab at something to stuff into its mouth.

Zhu Minglang, still outside the city, had already witnessed the monster grasping dozens of people at once, tossing them into its mouth like beans, chewing with large bites and swallowing unsatisfiedly.

This scene, with but a glance, could shatter one’s soul.

Inside the city, tens of thousands of people still remained. They seemed bewitched by some demon art, lining up in queues, one after another walking towards the monstrous pig demon, crying as they walked. Clearly, they had no control over their own bodies and could only watch helplessly as their relatives and family approached the beast!

People were crowded together; with each grasp, the pig demon seized nearly a hundred individuals, and it did so at an alarmingly frequent rate. The scraps falling from its mouth were human limbs…

“This monster, truly unforgivable!”

A fire surged in Zhu Minglang’s heart, and without further hesitation, he flew into the Capital of Wu Lan Country.

As soon as he arrived, Zhu Minglang saw a Daoist in a red robe standing atop a high pavilion, trembling all over.

“Young brother, don’t throw your life away! All my fellow disciples have been eaten; I’m the only bag of bones left. Even eating me… it would find me too bony to bother!” The Daoist in a red robe was clearly a Loose Immortal.

Yet, as a Loose Immortal, he had no strength to subdue the fairy, and even the dignity that came with being a cultivator had been completely trampled. He could only curl up like an old dog, neither fleeing nor staying.

“Does it have any divine skills?” Zhu Minglang inquired.

At that moment, the pig-like Earthbound Beast detected Zhu Minglang. Its eyes, akin to the Demon Emperor’s, emitted lightning-like gazes, instantly pulverizing the high pavilion where Zhu Minglang stood!

Zhu Minglang managed to grab the Red Robe Loose Immortal and dodge in time. While hovering mid-air, the Earthbound Beast slowly rose to its feet!

The monster’s flesh, layer upon layer, had earlier been oozing everywhere as it feasted on living humans. Now, as it stood up and aggressively marched this way, its flesh hardened, becoming as tough as diamond stones.

Its diamond-like body shimmered with a hint of holy Buddhist light, and yet around its crude neck dangled a long string of dragon skulls turned into beads.

Each bead was the skull of a giant dragon, evidently the Earthbound Beast’s most prized trophies.

With a Diamond Body and bone beads, cloaked in a kasaya woven from blood-red human skin, this Earthbound Beast was undeniably the most brutal and ferocious monster Zhu Minglang had ever encountered.

In times past, filled with sunlight, moonshine, and starlight, such Yama Demon Monarchs could never set foot in a Human City. They would be sealed beneath the nine nethers of the Underworld. Only in the mythological era of Eternal Darkness would such demon gods and emperors descend upon the human realm!

It had not been long into the Eternal Darkness; one could only dread the horror of what might appear beyond this Earthbound Beast in the days to come. The sunlit times that people had taken for granted in those long-gone days now seemed incredibly precious.

When would the daybreak come?

“Are you here to subdue me as well?” the Earthbound Beast spoke human words as it stepped toward Zhu Minglang, leaving a trail of humans crushed to a pulp in its wake. Faced with such carnage, Zhu Minglang was powerless and could only think of a way to kill the Earthbound Beast. Otherwise, it would continue devouring other cities and countries.

“Let’s go outside the city,” Zhu Minglang said to the Earthbound Beast.

“Stop with your sanctimonious nonsense. The pigs and sheep slaughtered by you humans every year far outnumber the humans I’ve eaten in my entire life. During festivals, it’s even more ruthless!” The Earthbound Beast, clearly an ancient being, was very familiar with the social structure of the Human Race.

“I’m a Dragon Shepherd. Instead of humans, why don’t you eat my dragons?” Zhu Minglang said, summoning both the Azure Phoenix and the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon.

“One dragon for one city, it’s worth it!” The Earthbound Beast eyed Zhu Minglang’s high-cultivation dragons with a greedy expression.

The Earthbound Beast opened its mouth and vomited violently towards the city–what it expelled were half-digested humans, some of whom were still alive. Their bodies were heavily corroded, but they were clinging to life.

“Human meat doesn’t satisfy my hunger, dragon meat is far better,” the Earthbound Beast commented with disdain for humanity. Eating humans was merely a reluctant choice, similar to people eating pig slop when in dire straits.

Zhu Minglang flew towards the outskirts of the city.

The Earthbound Beast, showing no hint of fear, lumbered its colossal, shadowy body through Wu Lan Country, resembling a moving mountain of death, trampling everything in its path. The people of Wu Lan Country, like ants in a nest, clumped together helplessly without an ounce of struggle.

Upon reaching the outskirts, where snow and blood merged, the Earthbound Beast bulldozed through the sturdy city walls that crumbled like tofu.

Only when they were far enough to not threaten Wu Lan City did Zhu Minglang finally stop.

The Earthbound Beast was extremely arrogant, unafraid of any traps Zhu Minglang might have set, as if nothing on this earthly plane could ever defeat it.
