The land was barren.
This was the world beyond the spatial gate.
This world was immense, and countless ancient monstrous beasts were arriving from all directions.
"Haha, freedom."
Roars echoed through the heavens and earth, and countless auras ascended.
"Clang."
The Heavenly Cloud Sword vibrated.
"Kill."
Chen Fan made his move.
Wusheng and the Spirit Dragon, along with the Qin Family Army, were battling the monstrous beasts.
Naturally, he could not stand by and watch.
Chen Fan had come to search for one of the Eight Ancient Demon Generals, the White Bone Forest.
He did not know if the White Bone Forest was here, but he would search.
He would kill everything in the world.
If it existed, it would eventually return.
Heaven and earth transformed into myriad swords, slicing through the desolate world.
"Rumble."
The desolate world began to collapse.
Amidst the collapse, a swarm of black venomous bees was caught in the ripples, their bodies falling like raindrops.
"So it's killer bees," Chen Fan sneered.
He had drawn his sword because he sensed a crisis.
He had thought it was some powerful creature, but it turned out to be a swarm of killer bees.
"Roar."
A gluttonous maw appeared.
With a gulp, it swallowed all the killer bees that had become corpses.
Here, killer bees were merely food.
The creature with the gluttonous maw was a spherical being, unfamiliar to Chen Fan, who did not recognize what kind of monstrous beast it was.
"Roar."
The monstrous beast roared again.
The swallowing maw opened and swallowed Chen Fan whole.
The large-mouthed monstrous beast closed its eyes in satisfaction, feeling quite comfortable.
But then, the large-mouthed monstrous beast's expression changed.
"Chirp."
A sword light sliced open its belly.
"Ah..."
The large-mouthed monstrous beast screamed.
Its belly was split open by the divine sword, and Chen Fan emerged.
"Slash."
Heaven and earth transformed into myriad swords, engulfing the large-mouthed monstrous beast.
The dense sword light dismembered it into a thousand pieces.
Screech.
The desolate earth cracked open, and a salamander rushed out.
As a prehistoric, world-ending perpetrator, the salamander ranked extremely high.
The large-mouthed monstrous beast was devoured, and the salamander flicked its tail, sending Chen Fan flying with a 'bang'.
The next moment, the salamander rapidly charged towards the spatial gate.
Once it escaped through the spatial gate, it would be completely free.
They had stayed in this desolate world for too long.
"Dream on."
Chen Fan, flying backward, stabilized himself, the Gravity Bead appearing in his hand.
Hum.
The gravity field spread, reducing the salamander's charging speed.
Chen Fan quickly caught up and swung his sword.
Clang, clang, clang.
The sound of metal clashing echoed.
Despite the sharpness of the divine sword, it could not penetrate the salamander's flesh.
"What a powerful physique." Chen Fan was astonished.
This salamander, by senses alone, was only at the half-step Supremacy realm, yet it could withstand the defense of the divine sword.
"Little bug."
The salamander was incredibly ferocious: "Get lost. If you dare to block me again, I'll devour you."
The salamander spoke human words, growing even more enraged.
"Come."
Chen Fan responded with disdain.
He pointed the Heavenly Cloud Sword at the colossal salamander, his fighting spirit beginning to boil.
If you wish to fight, then let us fight.
"You court death."
The ferocious salamander could not tolerate the provocation of the little bug.
With a roar, a clear ripple spread out.
This ripple contained a surging demonic energy, and with a 'boom', it sent Chen Fan flying.
Chen Fan spat blood but remained unfazed.
The divine sword shone, becoming even sharper than before.
"Rumble!"
This small space was constantly shattering.
With the enhancement of the gravity field, Chen Fan was overwhelming the salamander.
Yet, the divine sword still could not pierce the lava-like tough physique.
"Awoo..."
"Roar."
As time passed, more and more monstrous beasts appeared.
Rumble!
The earth trembled, alerting Chen Fan, who was in combat.
He looked up sharply, seeing demonic energy soaring into the sky and spreading towards him.
Wusheng also saw this scene, his expression grave: "Be careful, it's a beast tide. A powerful being is driving them towards the spatial gate."
The deeper one went into the desolate world, the stronger the monstrous beasts became.
While there were powerful monstrous beasts at the periphery, such as the salamander and the three-headed demon wolf... compared to the behemoths in the depths, the salamander and other beasts were no match.
The life force of the desolate world was becoming increasingly potent.
"Boom."
At this moment, Hong Si let out a loud shout: "Qin Blade, slash..."
The flaming long saber cut through the heavens and earth.
That saber carried the soul of the one hundred thousand Qin Family Army, the full might of eight hundred veterans.
With a roar, the monstrous beast in front of Hong Si was cut in half.
With a 'boom', the two halves of the monstrous beast's corpse fell to the ground, devoid of life.
"Hahaha."
Hong Si laughed heartily, returning the power to the Qin Family Army.
Standing back in formation, the Qin Family Army held their long sabers, facing the charging beast tide, and shouted: "Qin Family Army, number one in the world."
"Qin Family Army, number one in the world."
The synchronized shouts carried surging battle intent and passion.
"Qin Family Army, charge with me."
"Charge."
Boom.
The eight hundred soldiers of the Qin Family Army, facing the overwhelming beast tide, not only showed no fear but charged forward fearlessly.
"I've arrived too."
The Spirit Dragon, having slain his opponent, with surging vitality, stood alongside Hong Si.
"Kill."
The army charged, their killing intent astonishing.
...
This scene even drew Wusheng's repeated attention, and he sighed: "Qin Family Army, alas... I never had the chance to see that awe-inspiring man back then."
He was referring to King Qin.
Having such an elite army under him, he was immensely curious about what kind of person that remarkable man named King Qin was.
"Haha."
Hong Si heard Wusheng's sigh and laughed heartily: "Qin Family Army, show Elder Wusheng the soul of my Qin Family Army, kill..."
Though King Qin was no longer present, the soul of the Qin Family Army would endure forever.
"Kill."
The Qin Family Army was like a sharp blade piercing into the beast tide.
With Hong Si and the Spirit Dragon as the tip of the blade, the battle formation instantly cut through the beast tide.
"Haha."
The heavens and earth were stained with blood, and the killing intent boiled.
...
"Good soldiers."
Wusheng exclaimed: "It is my honor as Wusheng to fight alongside you all. Since that is the case, let us fight..."
With his words, Wusheng quickly slew his opponent and charged towards the beast tide.
Only Chen Fan was locked in an intense battle with the salamander.
This salamander was perhaps the most powerful existence near the spatial gate, with invulnerable defense.
"Slash."
The sword dragon 'boom' struck the salamander.
This time, fine wounds finally appeared on the salamander's body.
Dense, tiny wounds seeped blood, as if they had been cut by an endless gale.
"Little bug."
The salamander felt pain.
Just as it was about to charge, with a 'boom', the gravity field reappeared, suppressing the salamander's speed.
"Bastard."
The salamander was furious.
This gravity field was truly troublesome.
Its repeated attempts to charge were interrupted.
Several opportunities to kill this little bug were prevented by the gravity field.
The salamander grew tired of being grinded down.
"Roar."
After roaring, it stopped charging at Chen Fan and instead headed for the spatial gate.
It disregarded the sword light falling on its body from behind.
It wanted to break through the spatial gate; once it was outside, everything would be fine.
