"Urgent report from the front lines: the void rift above the Outer Fierce Grassland, guarded by Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, has expanded again. A large-scale invasion of Eternal Night alien beasts is underway. The two are currently holding their ground, but the residual combat energy could affect the entire northern battlefield."
"What about Wu Boyue?"
"He is locked in combat with the ancient ferocious beast Longzhi in the Eastern Dark Grand Canyon and is unlikely to disengage anytime soon."
"The East Sea is the Dragon King's territory. Does he not intervene at all?"
"The Dragon King's many Demon Venerables have retreated with him to the Arctic Ocean, citing the overwhelming firepower of the Eternal Night alien beasts and their passive defensive stance."
"Tsk... we'll settle accounts with them sooner or later. Issue an order: dispatch the Scarlet Hunting Squad to assist Wu Boyue in the Dark Grand Canyon, so that Wu Boyue can free up his hands to aid the Hashirama-Madara duo."
"Understood!"
"Battle report: A large number of demonic creatures from the Lighthouse Demon Country have infiltrated various battlefields in scattered groups, continuously disrupting human defense lines. They are suspected of having reached some agreement with the Eternal Night alien beasts. Our casualties are heavy!"
"Hmph, these filthy demons have gone completely berserk after losing the suppression of their Demon Queen. Immediately order Yakushi Kabuto and Yu Chengsong to control the Impure World Army and reinforce the major battlefields. Increase the allocation of sensor devices. We absolutely cannot let the demonic creatures take advantage of the chaos!"
"In the Southern Pole Ghost Country, ghost generals are roaming the battlefields, harvesting and devouring souls..."
"Send the Evil Extermination Legion, composed of lightning and holy light elementalists, to provide support. Show no mercy to any Ghost Country forces encountered. As expected, these foreign races are unreliable. Forget about the Earth Protection Convention; all non-human races are to be treated as mortal enemies!"
"Furthermore, order the cultivation department of the Super Research Institute to expedite the production of soul-capturing banners and storage rings. Except for the ghost race, all alien beasts that can be captured alive should be captured alive. Do not let a single soul escape, to ensure the reserves for creating the Impure World Army."
...
At this moment, the Earth is engulfed in widespread conflict. Tremendous roars occasionally shake the land, causing the void to shatter and even laws to become chaotic. Amidst these various great battles, the planet's mass and surface area have already decreased by thirty percent.
The massive topographical changes have impacted the climate and the Earth's crust. Volcanoes are erupting globally, and earthquakes are occurring in many regions. Some transcendent powerhouses are even fighting directly in the atmosphere and outer space, leading to utter chaos.
Among the most striking events is the splitting of the Pacific Ocean, located at the former site of the Hawaiian Islands, due to the descent of an S-class Eternal Night alien beast. Even though the beast was swiftly annihilated by the Grand Zhou Star Array, it still inflicted immense damage on the Earth.
This rift stretches from the northern part of Oceania to the Zhichen Islands in the former territory of the Lighthouse Nation. Its deepest point reaches the planet's outer core, serving as the largest wound on this already ravaged planet.
Underneath such terrifying combat, if not for the fusion with the Eternal Night World and the continuous spatial stabilization, the Earth would have long ago disintegrated completely.
In the command center of the Dragon Country's Shenhua Bureau Information Department, Xu Yuanhong's brain receives constant streams of information from all fronts, making swift and organized decisions to direct battles across various regions.
Battlefields, large and small, are scattered across the globe. The Dragon Country is arguably the safest place on Earth. Not only is it guarded by Wang Shouyi, who wields his double-pupil divine ability, but it also benefits from the watchful gaze of Dao Sage Wang Taixu, deterring some Eternal Night alien beasts from descending.
However, overall, the global situation is dire. If this continues, the entire planet will inevitably collapse.
In Feizhou, a beast with a sheep's face and human body, standing a hundred thousand meters tall, with two eyes under its armpits, dominates the land. A mouth on its chest, as it opens and closes, emanates terrifying devouring laws, consuming all energy it comes into contact with.
Feizhou, which originally spanned over thirty million square kilometers, now has less than one-tenth of its landmass remaining, all of which has been turned into nourishment for the Gluttonous Beast.
The more the Gluttonous Beast devours, the larger it grows. When this colossal beast, ten times taller than the world's highest peak, stands between heaven and earth, no one would have imagined that a year ago, it was not even a thousand meters tall.
If allowed to grow unchecked, the entire planet might be devoured.
Currently, facing it is Cheng Yi, the Commander-in-Chief of the Dragon Country's army, a half-S-class devourer-type elementalist, who is struggling to hold on under the Gluttonous Beast's innate divine ability.
Cheng Yi stands in mid-air, his eyes focused. Behind him, a ten-thousand-meter-tall phantom of a Gluttonous Beast appears, representing the manifestation of his devouring laws.
"Gulp, gulp~"
Facing Cheng Yi's manifested laws, the Gluttonous Beast lets out a piercing, mocking laugh, "A mere human ant, who has by chance comprehended a trace of my bloodline law's true meaning, dares to resist me? Truly suicidal!"
With a sneer, it raises its right claw. The claw is gaunt and human-like, but its fingertips are sharp and hooked. It swings down heavily towards Cheng Yi.
The moment the claw descends, five black lights flash past, slicing through spatial blockades and devouring dimensional energy laws. They become so vast they obscure the sky, shimmering with multicolored light from the fusion of various energies, and instantly reach Cheng Yi.
"Devouring Vortex!!"
Cheng Yi raises his hand, fingers spread wide. The Gluttonous Beast phantom behind him also opens its mouth, spitting out a black point of light that transforms into a massive vortex, hovering in front of him. It then expands into a colossal vortex, rapidly growing.
*Boom!*
The vortex and the five black lights, upon contact, erupt in a violent explosion. Instantly, the surrounding void collapses, ultimately turning into terrifying energy that annihilates in the heavens and earth.
"Gulp, gulp~ Not bad, but how long can you last?" The Gluttonous Beast's scarlet eyes reveal a hint of mockery as it glances towards a battlefield a thousand miles away.
There, a group of Dragon Country elementalists are battling Eternal Night alien beasts covered in ferocious barbs.
It opens its mouth and inhales, generating a terrifying suction force that locks onto all the creatures on the battlefield.
*Hum~*
Just then, the phantom of a pair of captivating double pupils suddenly appears in mid-air. Terrifying energy emanates from these pupils, completely disintegrating all the suction force.
Above the Dragon Country, Wang Shouyi, who is engaged in a fierce battle with beasts from the entrance of the Eternal Night rift, suddenly turns his head. His gaze is cold as he looks in the direction of the Gluttonous Beast. His lips move, and his indifferent voice echoes in the Gluttonous Beast's mind, "Don't rush, I'll be there to kill you soon!"
"Moo hahaha~ Don't get distracted while fighting me!"
A dark-skinned bull-headed man, one meter sixty tall and wielding a spiked club, stands in the void beneath the void rift. His eyes are condescending as he looks at Wang Shouyi, his voice deafening, causing ripples on the surface of the Dragon Country's fortune shield beneath Wang Shouyi.
Wang Shouyi turns to look, his eyes radiating beams of divine light that pierce through the bull-headed man's eyes.
However, in the next second, the bull-headed man's figure vanishes; it was merely an afterimage.
In the next moment, the bull-headed man's short, sturdy body appears abruptly to Wang Shouyi's left. With a sinister grin, the black spiked club suddenly enlarges in Wang Shouyi's vision.
Seeing this, the Gluttonous Beast lets out a sharp laugh, "Gulp, gulp, let's see you deal with that demon bull first!"
