Chapter 1348: Crackdown
Chapter 1348: Crackdown
Their eyes met for but a few breaths.
Lu Benwei's smile deepened, as if he had heard something amusing. A look of disdain gradually appeared on his face, and he rolled his eyes in exasperation before speaking.
"Sigh."
"You piece of trash. You were trash in the past, and in my eyes today, you are still trash not even worth mentioning. Stopping a worthless thing like you, even if I am just a skeleton, still requires no effort at all!"
His domineering voice rang out indifferently. Lu Benwei stood quietly in the air, seemingly as peerless as he was in the past.
Looking at that invincible posture.
Even White Pupil, hidden within the darkness of the universe, couldn't help but reveal a look of trance. It took him a few breaths to recover and laugh, becoming increasingly unbridled and arrogant!
"Heh heh heh..."
"To think that the God of Eternal Calamity, who once looked down upon all realms, has now fallen to such a state, left with nothing but a skeletal body. Other than your ability to bluff, you no longer possess your former might. It truly makes me feel regretful."
"If you truly had such strength, why the need to put on an act? If you can stop me, why haven't you made a move yet?"
"Hmm?"
As soon as his voice fell, Lu Benwei shook his head indifferently.
He didn't speak to refute, but merely raised his hand and tore open a rift in the sky, forcefully opening up a small world. Following that, he stretched out his bony hand and grabbed at the empty air!
"Swoosh!"
With only the sound of the wind blowing by, an ugly, bloated creature was yanked out and dropped into the void.
Before the ugly white-eyed monster's massive body could stand up, Lu Benwei stomped on him, rendering him unable to move. He was suppressed on the spot, his eyes filled with terror, and only screams of disbelief rang out!
"This..."
"In just an instant... This is impossible!"
"You have already been reduced to a skeleton, how could you still have such terrifying strength!"
No matter how he roared.
Lu Benwei simply grabbed at the void, pulled out a long chair, and lay down. His seemingly small figure appeared to transcend heaven and earth, unexpectedly crushing the giant monster beneath the chair into the void, drowning out its cries.
Only its unwilling eyes peered hatefully through the cracks, revealing bloodshot eyes filled with endless resentment!
At this moment, he finally understood the terror of the God of Eternal Calamity!
A long time passed.
The small world finally returned to peace, just as tranquil and comfortable as the night sky had been moments ago.
Lu Benwei lay leisurely on the long chair, resting his head on his arms, lowering his eyes, and yawning.
"Yawn..."
"Stop your hollering. I admit you have made a tiny bit of progress, and you have indeed grown a little bit. You can be considered a bit of an obstruction to me, making me have to personally lie here to suppress you."
"You should be satisfied now, right?"
Beneath his feet, White Pupil's giant eye trembled slightly, a look of shame and indignation almost overflowing.
However.
Enduring an unspeakable, terrifying pressure, even making a sound became incredibly difficult for him. He no longer dared to voice any objections. Even if he was utterly unwilling, he could only grit his teeth and fall into silence.
He had only hollered a few times before completely losing his fight.
How utterly dull.
Lu Benwei felt a bit bored lying there and couldn't help but sigh out loud.
"Sigh."
"You little punk, why did you have to act so pretentious? I liked your confident look from before. Now it's no fun at all, and I have to lie here in boredom. You've really ruined it for the both of us."
"I am the most handsome guy in the universe. Hanging out with a punk like you is a pure waste of time. It would be great if there was a babe here to keep me company..."
As he grumbled.
Lu Benwei slowly raised his eyes, seeing through the void once more to gaze at the sea of stars.
In the depths of the endless universe.
That pure darkness began to reveal its true form.
Various tall and bizarre buildings towered like heavenly pillars, all shrouded in a terrifying, eerie blackness. In the endless darkness, the densely packed buildings were like spring bamboo shoots, yet also like eternal megaliths. Even the traces of time were hard to capture on them, and who knew how many epochs they had existed.
Only various terrifying demon races wandered and flickered within, dominating this endless land of darkness. It was as if they had merged with the void, eternal up to this day.
The demonic creatures that could be seen everywhere exuded an extremely terrifying aura, far beyond what the demons hidden on other planets could compare to. Not only were their cultivation bases profound, but they also seemed full of order, their intelligence having reached a quite terrifying level.
With a rough sweep of the eye.
This hidden void veiled by darkness seemed like the source of all evil, continuously breeding various terrifying creatures. It allowed darkness to grow wildly in unknown corners, devouring the light throughout the endless years, constantly coexisting and contending with it.
At the center of the darkness.
A massive, towering pagoda with no end in sight stood as if connecting the heaven and earth of this realm. It looked down upon all the darkness and observed the movements of all the demon races.
Within the tall pagoda, the halls emanated a suffocating, bone-chilling cold.
Countless demons stood quietly on both sides, and the branch leaders of the various races were all among them. There were one-eyed dwarven demons, two-faced giant demons standing hundreds of feet tall, and succubi shaped like humans. Their auras were all unfathomably deep.
No matter which branch they belonged to, they all bowed their heads devoutly at this moment. Even with nearly ten thousand demons gathered together, they only occupied a small space in this grand hall of endless darkness.
Upon the pitch-black throne.
Endless darkness continuously gathered, and only a pair of blood-red eyes could be seen clearly.
The blood-red eyes opened, and ten thousand demons bowed their heads.
"Summon the Demoness Chi Li for an audience."
The cold voice echoed, and ten thousand demons kowtowed.
A black palanquin materialized outside the hall doors, its surroundings obscured by mist. Several tyrannical demons wearing blood-red helmets lifted the palanquin. Without any visible movement, they pushed through the darkness and vanished from sight.
When they reappeared, they were already in front of the Demoness's hall.
Although the magnificent hall was completely pitch-black, it was extremely exquisite. Shaped like an artistic pagoda, its flying eaves and brackets were hung with blood-red bells, adding a bit of dangerous, enchanting aura to the awe-inspiring darkness.
The Demoness Chi Li, dressed in a black dress, waited quietly in front of the hall. Her slow steps were extremely elegant, and her dress was highly exquisite. Its wild slits outlined her perfect figure, her fair skin faintly visible. Her entire body exuded an icy aura that kept people thousands of miles away.
This supreme Demoness of the demon race possessed a status and talent that could be said to be rare throughout the ages. The moment she appeared, the giant demons carrying the palanquin were startled into bowing their heads and waiting quietly, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.
Only when Chi Li stepped onto the palanquin lightly with her long legs did the giant demons steadily lift it and set off.
Treading on black mist and walking through the air, they were thousands of miles away in the blink of an eye. The black palanquin exuded an extraordinary might, startling many demons into looking up and sighing with emotion.
Suddenly!
A bony hand tore through the void and arrived. As terrifying as the remains of a giant, it lunged straight at the black palanquin and snatched away the Demoness Chi Li right in front of countless demons!
The demons were immediately struck with terror, not even bothering to admire the alluring sight of the flustered Demoness in the air!
"How bold!"
"What sacred being dares to hold our demon race's Demoness hostage!"
In just the blink of an eye.
Watching the giant skeletal hand snatch away the Demoness and tear through the void to leave, as easily as taking something from a pocket, the entire demon race was endlessly shaken. This extraordinary humiliation spread throughout the dark void!
The giant demons who had been carrying the palanquin experienced it firsthand and felt the terror of that giant hand even more vividly. Filled with panic and urgency, they hurriedly returned to the demon race's divine pagoda to report.
In the massive hall.
Four giant demons, each several dozen feet tall, paid their respects in terror. They actually seemed the size of ants here, but their trembling voices spread throughout the grand hall, shocking the horde of demons into fury!
"Reporting to Your Excellency!"
"A disaster has occurred! Just now, a giant bony hand suddenly tore through the void, abducted the Demoness halfway, and broke through the air to leave. Her whereabouts are currently unknown. We were truly powerless to stop it, we beg Your Excellency for forgiveness!"
As soon as the words fell, waves of angry roars erupted from the demons gathered in the great hall!
"What?!"
"To dare abduct the demoness of our race, what absolute audacity!"
"Who knows what kind of mighty being this is, to actually tear through the void and trespass into our demon territory. With such an arrogant move, I fear they come with ill intentions!"
"Are they trying to start a war with our demon race?!"
"We have no idea who struck. Even if we declare war, we wouldn't know where to start. Such cowards are truly despicable. The most pressing matter is to uncover the identity of the intruder!"
After a brief whispered discussion, the demons all bowed towards the throne!
"Please make a decision, My Lord!"
The dark hall suddenly plunged into dead silence, as an unprecedented fury began to silently brew and spread.
A pair of blood-red eyes slowly opened upon the throne, radiating a ferocious killing intent!
"Our demon race has rested in peace for too long. It seems the outsiders have almost forgotten our formidable name."
"This is a provocation against our demon race. Whether in the past or present, this can absolutely never be tolerated. No matter what kind of existence the intruder is, even if we must scour all the heavens, we will capture him!"
"Such a sinner shall have his body and soul utterly obliterated!!!"
A terrifying pressure swept through the dark hall, as an eternal wrath reappeared in the world!
Even though the gathered demons were all elites of their race, existences capable of obliterating stars, at this moment they bowed their heads in dread. A catastrophic bloodbath, enough to shake countless galaxies, had arrived!
Meanwhile.
In an unknown minor realm, the demoness Chi Li struggled to her feet. She straightened her somewhat disheveled black dress, concealing her tall and slender figure, her face flushed with shame and anger.
Upon seeing clearly that the figure sitting quietly before her was nothing more than a little skeleton, she spoke up to reprimand him with absolute arrogance!
"Insolent!"
"Who do you think you are, daring to abduct this demoness? Do you not know that once the wrath of my demon race is unleashed, the endless starry skies will be dyed the color of blood!?"
