Chapter 131: Source of the Anomaly

It is a massive creature standing four to five meters tall.

Its thick blue skin allows it to effectively fend off attacks from the mantis insect monsters.

Its huge size is undoubtedly its greatest advantage.

Watching the diving mantis insect monster, its sandbag-sized fist easily bursts its brain matter, mixing colorful blood with fresh brain juice.

The gigantic monster opens its blood‑filled maw, as if savoring a delicious dish, and begins to chew with a creaking sound.

Its uneven, sharp fangs, interlaced with thin green strips of meat, bristle with excitement for food as it repeatedly eyes the myriad insect monsters in the forest.

Obviously, this huge monster has already taken these suddenly appearing ferocious predators as its forthcoming free lunch.

This massive blue monster is one of the apex creatures of this vast forest, a rare first‑tier powerful demon beast.

If a demon hunter were here, they would recognize it as a fully grown Illusion Shape Beast! The blue horn on its snout is the source of its great power.

With the Illusion Shape Beast's appearance, another apex creature at the far side of the forest suddenly awakens.

A robust body over three meters tall, with curved horns atop its head.

Its humanoid face bears anger at being woken from its slumber.

Its black skin is covered with strange patterns drawn in golden lines.

A gilded battle‑axe, stained with blue rust, is slowly pulled from a solid rock.

"Chak—!" a faint metallic scrape rings out.

The magical creature, seething with rage, launches a fierce assault on the being that disturbed its sleep.

At this moment, if viewed from above.

You would be shocked to discover that a swarm of such extraordinary insects is spreading outward from a canyon at astonishing speed—a canyon stretching thousands of miles.

Endless seas of trees form a verdant shade.

A gentle breeze sweeps in.

The green waves ripple, producing a rustling sound.

Beams of sunlight pierce the canopy of green trees above, gathering into colorful shafts that illuminate the forest.

The stream flows slowly, its crisp splash adding a beautiful note to the seemingly tranquil forest.

"Boom—boom—" heavy thuds echo from deep within the dense forest.

A thick, sharp black claw descends from the sky into the creek.

Clear splashes spray everywhere.

As the massive, fierce claw lifts, a one‑meter‑deep pit quickly forms.

The creek backs up, instantly flooding, and the water turns slightly turbid.

Another booming sound erupts, sending the creek water splashing.

Looking up in the direction of the motion.

There stands a huge creature resembling a dragon.

Its ferocious head bears sharp teeth, with streams of saliva constantly dripping.

Powerful, curved hind legs end in sharp claws; its thick tail, covered in black scales, bears numerous sharp, vicious spines, exuding terror.

Nearly ten meters tall, its crimson pupils radiate a fierce, blood‑thirsty ferocity.

Where this dragon‑like being passes, all life falls silent in an instant.

Its overwhelming aura even deters the domain's ruler, the Magic Beast Lord, from leaving its lair to drive away the intruding aggressor.

It is clearly a second‑tier demon beast of terrifying power.

Yet the creature that should dominate the Canyon Forest, unrivaled in the world, now shows panic in its crimson eyes.

It seems as if something terrifying is chasing it, causing a frantic retreat! Upon close inspection, its once‑hard scales are already covered with countless scars.

Especially on its side, a massive vicious wound bleeds profusely, as if money were irrelevant, spilling blood that reveals torn ribs and organs beneath the gore. Moreover, green blood stains its black scales, and streams of green sauce drip from the savage wound.

Its gaze is both fiercely combative and tinged with fear. The massive beast eyes behind it intermittently, as if searching for something.

Moments later, a buzzing like insects flapping wings, carried by the airflow, comes from the dense forest behind.

It is a sea of green insects, densely packed—easily hundreds, even thousands!

Like a locust swarm passing through, everything in its path—whether insects or animals—has become food for the insects, leaving only skeletal remains tinged with bits of flesh, frozen in place.

Leading the charge is a first‑tier green insect monster, five‑headed and over four meters long.

What terrifies this dragon‑like creature is not the five‑headed leader, but their overwhelming numbers—and the hidden, treacherous Level Two Bug General lurking within the insect sea!

The most fatal wound on its body was caused by that shameless, cunning stink bug! Watching the massive swarm approach, the dragon‑like beast seems to sense something, a flash of slyness crossing its fierce eyes, and it pivots its huge body toward the northeast.

But only for a moment.

The sounds of trees collapsing, accompanied by fierce, angry hissing, suddenly come from the dense forest behind.

The dragon‑like creature's massive beast eyes shift slightly, faintly revealing.

A ten‑meter‑long creature with green snake scales dotted with black spots is swamped by hundreds of green insect monsters!

It is the forest's Magic Beast Lord: Kemo Yin Giant Snake, possessing the pinnacle power of a tier‑one magic beast. 【First‑tier magic beast, its own rank is called differently】

Seeing the much thinned insect sea behind it, the dragon‑like magic beast's pupils flash a human‑like cunning.

It is quite pleased with the clever tactic of diverting disaster waters eastward that it devised on the spot.

Following the same method, it continues racing toward another forest ruler, the Moonlight Magic Wolf's territory!

Unlike the dragon‑like magic beast's somewhat optimistic attitude.

Deep within the canyon's dense forest, in a certain valley.

Green, fierce insect shadows continue to appear in succession, then coalesce into green insect clouds, led by one or several first‑tier insect monster leaders, attacking in all directions.

Densely packed, numbering in the thousands.

And in the center of the canyon.

A black, narrow rift stretching a hundred meters appeared out of nowhere.

Faint white spatial ripples, threaded together, hovered over the irregular black rift.

Green insect shadows streamed continuously out of this narrow Space Rift.

A harsh, piercing screech suddenly rang out.

The green insect shadows that had just emerged and crowded before the rift showed terrified eyes and hurried away in all directions.

It seemed as if something dreadful was about to happen.

From the narrow Space Rift behind, a teal afterimage flashed by; the green insect shadow that had just taken wing dozens of meters away seemed not yet to have realized what had happened.

They turned into fragments of green limbs, accompanied by a rain of green blood, and were swallowed by the black rift below.

Among them was a Level‑One Insect Monster Leader.

From its huge green insect eyes, a hint of post‑calamity relief could be seen, showing that at the moment death arrived, it was already dead without even noticing!

A chilling, gnashing "gak‑beng‑gak‑beng" sound erupted from the black rift, clearly coming from the Master of that green afterimage.

Another sharp, piercing buzz sounded!

A terrifying blade of jade‑green hue, shimmering with faint cold light, extended out of the black rift.

It was a massive blade over ten meters long, bearing dense, sharp serrated edges, showcasing the devastation and terror it could unleash.

As this gigantic blade protruded, one could see the terrifying size of its Master.

However, the Master of that terrifying size seemed stuck in the black rift, unable to move freely.

The massive arm‑blade, radiating a powerful aura, swung continuously, and another series of "gak‑beng‑gak‑beng" chewing sounds erupted from within! As its energy replenished, the aura of that mighty creature surged, and it began to press desperately toward the Dark World!
