Chapter 326: Bane King!

Yao was briefly startled, then saw the heavy, taboo look in Ye Wuque's eyes, as if he understood something, and a look of comprehension appeared on his face.

He gave Ye Wuque a deep look, did not ask further, and said, "I understand."

Finally, he nodded at Ye Wuque again, then his figure slowly became ethereal, as if merging with the breeze, merging with the Void, and he drifted away, disappearing into the endless shattered starry sky depths.

Ye Wuque stood still, watching Yao's departing silhouette, feeling a slight sigh in his heart.

This battle was truly exhilarating; to clash with such a Top-tier Monster at full strength and then discuss the Dao while seated was a rare chance, one that can be encountered but not sought.

He could clearly feel that after this battle, his own Prototype of the Tiandao and his construction of the Reverse Tribulation Method had gained deeper understanding and more varied ideas.

The gains cannot be said to be small.

"Such a top-tier being… truly a rarity across the ages…" he murmured to himself.

After Yao left, the surrounding spectators, filled with endless sighs and amazement, began to disperse one after another.

What they saw and heard today is enough for them to remember for the rest of their lives.

Ye Wuque! Ye Demon God! Yao, the top-tier being who overwhelms the ancient epoch's Four Extreme Realms! When news of this battle spreads, he is destined to become renowned across the Zhutian Wanjie!

Within the temporal‑spatial battlefield, he can already be called… invincible!

Undoubtedly, everything happening here will spread across the entire temporal‑spatial battlefield at the fastest speed, like a storm; Ye Wuque's fame will reach an unprecedented height.

Ye Wuque did not leave immediately; he casually sat cross‑legged in the Void, still savoring the ultimate clash with Yao and the Dao discussion, his thoughts drifting as he contemplated the future path and direction.

However, just as Ye Wuque was immersed in insight and the various Heavenly Prides gradually dispersed…

In a secret area of the temporal‑spatial battlefield, previously a strange presence had assassinated Feng Caichen, a place filled with distortion and ominousness.

At this moment, something terrifyingly creepy is occurring here.

Thick gray mist churns endlessly, as if countless suffering souls are wailing within.

Several gray figures, more solid and terrifying by countless times than the two puppets before, crawl on the ground; their bodies tremble slightly, not from fear but from extreme frenzy and excitement!

A bizarre entity made of pure gray light, its shape constantly twisting, whispers in a hoarse, fervent voice:

"Great existence… finally… finally about to be born…"

"Endless years of waiting… painstaking scheming… all for… this moment…"

Nearby, the other terrifying figures also lift their heads; on their indistinct faces, only eyes filled with chaos and destruction flash with madness and worship.

Their gazes simultaneously turn toward the area ahead where the ominous aura is densest, seeming the source of all weirdness… the core!

There, the gray mist writhes like a living thing, forming a huge, pulsating egg‑shaped mass, its surface covered with twisted runes and vein‑like veins, emitting a nauseating filthy aura and… an indescribable, kingly pressure that towers over all beings!

After a long while…

"Dong… dong… dong…"

Like a heartbeat, the sound emanates from the gray giant egg, growing louder and stronger!

Each beat causes the gray mist of the bizarre space to quake, as if worshipping their king!

"Hoooooom—!!!"

Finally, with a muffled thunderous blast akin to Open Heaven and Split Earth, the gray giant egg bursts open!

Endless filthy gray light shoots upward, engulfing the entire space!

A malicious will, far more terrifying, profound, and despairing than all the previous Bane Creatures combined, like an awakened primeval beast, suddenly descends!

The gray light slowly contracts, revealing the being within.

It is a… figure so massive it's unimaginable!

It stands tall, its whole body covered with a dark gray, keratinous layer seemingly formed from countless suffering faces, exuding a strange aura that corrodes all things and drags everything down.

Most chillingly, it bears… nine heads of varied forms, all equally ferocious and terrifying!

Each head represents an extreme negative emotion and a desire for destruction!

Greed, rage, hatred, despair, fear… eighteen eyes open simultaneously, containing no rational light, only pure hatred and destruction toward all life!

This is, unmistakably, a terrifying… Bane King!

Nine‑headed Bane King!

It simply stands there, the gray mist surrounding it causing the surrounding space to continuously collapse and decay, as if even the laws cannot bear its existence!

"Behold… my king… welcome… my king… descending!!"

Those terrifying ominous figures, with the most devout and fervent posture, prostrate themselves, emitting hoarse chants of worship!

The nine heads of the nine‑headed Bane King turn slowly, the eighteen cold eyes scanning the subordinates crawling on the ground, showing no emotion, only absolute indifference and destruction.

After a long while, a voice resembling a blend of nine different despair sounds, like a demon's whisper, finally rises in this Dead Silence space, revealing its murderous intent without concealment:

"The scheme here… finally… will take effect…"

"All the effort… not in vain…"

"Hehe… these intruding… ants…"

"Will become… our return's… first… blood feast…"

"The hunt… has begun…"

As its words fall, those terrifying ominous figures simultaneously lift their heads, bloodthirsty light flashing in their eyes, then transform into several gray streaks of light, silently merging into the Void, fleeing toward various directions of the temporal‑spatial battlefield.

The situation of the temporal‑spatial battlefield, due to the arrival of this nine‑headed Bane King, instantly becomes ominously tense, filled with endless murderous intent and unknown terror!

……

Soon, the calm is broken.

Some dazzling Heavenly Prides exploring the temporal‑spatial battlefield for opportunities begin to be repeatedly slaughtered by terrifying Bane Creatures!

These Bane Creatures, more cunning and stronger than the puppets that previously assassinated Feng Caichen, hide in the shadows of the Void, striking ruthlessly, often killing with a single blow!

The entire temporal‑spatial battlefield seems to instantly transform from a stage of Heavenly Prides from different epochs battling, into a gruesome survival war against bizarre Bane…

Here, Ye Wuque is, of course, no exception.

Just as he has just finished the battle and discussion with Yao, being at the crucial moment of insight and recovery—

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The Void in the three directions around them suddenly split open without any warning!

Three gray Dark Shadows, exuding terror far greater than the previous puppets and filled with a will of cruelty and slaughter, boldly surged forward like phantoms!

They coordinated seamlessly, their attack angles were cunning and ruthless, directly sealing off all of Ye Wuque's evasion routes; the terrifying, bizarre energy surged in like a tide, intent on wiping him out in one blow!

Boom—!

In a split Time, the clouds changed color, and the murderous aura grew icy!
