Xia Qian and the others looked at Wu Tian, confused by what he was saying. After getting dressed, Wu Tian led them straight out, not even bothering to glance at Li Xiaolu’s corpse on the floor.
Outside, the sky was filled with a dense swarm of bats.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
SQUEAK! SQUEAK!
They shrieked chaotically over Yang City. The scene was eerie and terrifying.
These bats were much larger than ordinary ones, with blood-red eyes and bared fangs. Although it was dayti in Yang City, the sky was so darkened by the bats that it seed like twilight—either a sunless dawn or the monts just after sunset.
The people of Yang City stared up at the sky, their faces filled with horror. People stopped on their way to work, and even patients ran out from hospitals to see. The sky, completely obscured by a frenzy of bats, presented a terrifying sight that made one’s scalp crawl. It was a scene straight out of an apocalyptic movie.
As the dense swarm of bats flew through the sky, General Zhou Weimou from the South finally deployed soldiers and weapons to drive them away. However, these were not ordinary bats. The bats resisted fiercely, fighting back against the military. But when bats possessed an intelligence equal to, or even greater than, that of humans, the army was powerless against them.
The swarm of bats began to fight the military, thirsting for blood from n, won, children, and the elderly alike. They knew that by causing such a commotion, they would inevitably draw out Wu Tian, which was precisely their goal.
With the sky blotted out by bats, law and order in Yang City completely collapsed.
"So many strange things have been happening lately. Is this a sign of the apocalypse?"
"I think the end is really here."
"What are we going to do?"
The people of Yang City fled in panic. So barred their doors and windows, refusing to let refugees in. At this mont, the beauty of human kindness and the ugliness of human nature were laid bare.
"What are these things?" Xia Qian asked, turning to Wu Tian.
Wu Tian overheard the bats’ chatter and chuckled. "They’ve co for . My blood can awaken their king!"
The power of Wu Tian’s blood went far beyond rely awakening soone. Moreover, not just anyone could withstand it. For soone without imnse destiny, receiving even a single drop of his blood as a boon would be enough to cast them into Avici Hell. It could be summarized in a single sentence: "He is the last divinity in the world; mortals cannot bear his grace."
"Brothers! Sisters! He’s here! I’ve found him!"
Just then, a bat shot toward Wu Tian, its blood-red eyes gleaming with excitent. I was the first to find him! When the king awakens, he’ll definitely reward . And I want to taste his blood, too!
However, just as the bat was lost in its daydream, SWOOSH! A ray of Blood Glow erupted from Wu Tian.
SQUELCH!
With a dull thud, the bat was sliced in two, its black blood splattering across the ground.
The swarming bats, flying wildly, witnessed this. "You lowly humans! How dare you kill one of us, the noble bats?"
Great discrimination existed between the Races. The bats looked down on the Human Clan, while the Human Clan believed themselves to be at the pinnacle of the food chain among all Races.
"I’m the one who found Wu Tian!"
"No, I found him first!"
One after another, the bats noticed him. With ferocious expressions, they all swooped down on Wu Tian in an instant.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
They dove down en masse, the air whistling around them. They targeted the veins on Wu Tian’s body, aiming to sink their fangs in viciously.
Wu Tian stood there quietly while a frightened Xia Qian and the others hid behind him.
"Beasts! How audacious!" Wu Tian snorted. The Blood Glow inside him erupted, slicing through the air with incomparable sharpness, carving an invincible path forward.
A dense swarm of countless bats surged toward Wu Tian. Their formation was a tumultuous, powerful wave, more daunting than the ocean’s tide. But unfortunately for them, their opponent was Wu Tian.
"Die!"
Rays of Blood Glow shot out like shooting stars. The bats were no match at all. Every single one died filled with bitter indignation.
"You despicable humans!"
"Only when our king awakens will the world be truly perfect!"
"How could you kill us?"
"Your blood can awaken our king and make the world perfect! Why do you refuse?"
They shrieked mournfully, but no one else could understand what they were saying. Wu Tian, however, understood everything. A cold, rciless smile touched his lips, making him look as cruel as a Demon God.
He would slaughter humans without hesitation, so why would he spare re bats? Beneath the flashes of Blood Glow, more and more of them were sliced apart.
One hundred!
One thousand!
Ten thousand!
The streets and rooftops of Yang City were littered with the fragnted corpses of bats. In the end, they were all dead.
Wu Tian’s Spiritual Sense now enveloped the entire Earth, his perception settling on a solitary island in the Iron Tower Country.
On the island, bats sward. An old bat, seemingly sensing what had happened, sighed. "Dead. They’re all dead. Wu Tian killed them all."
So say bats have short lifespans of around thirty years, but this is not always true. So can live for centuries. This old bat, for instance, was two ters tall with a five-ter wingspan. It was clearly experienced and knowledgeable. "We should wait quietly for the king’s awakening," it advised. "Leave Wu Tian alone. Do not provoke him!"
The younger bats were not convinced.
"We only want his blood! Why does he refuse?"
"Exactly! A single drop of blood could awaken our king! A single drop could save soone! Why is he so stingy?"
"Yes, far too stingy!"
The bats grumbled among themselves, concluding that Wu Tian was just as stingy and petty as any ordinary human.
「Back in Yang City」
Wu Tian’s expression turned frosty. A dangerous light stirred in his eyes, making him look even more like a Demon God.
"You want my blood? And I’m just supposed to give it to you?" he sneered. "If I refuse, that makes stingy? Petty?"
Seeing his expression, Xia Qian asked, "Are you going out?"
"No need. They’re just beasts," Wu Tian said. He wanted to test his Spiritual Martial Skills. His Spiritual Sense was now powerful enough to envelop the entire Earth. Even though he wasn’t physically in the Iron Tower Country, his Spiritual Martial Skills could strike there directly, bringing death to those bats who were courting it.
「Now, on the solitary island.」
"Blood... I want blood! I need blood!" From within the grave, the indignant king’s voice drifted out. It feared the sun and dared not leave its tomb, feeling it was not yet strong enough. It craved the blood of the mighty.
"But we can’t get it," the old bat said, gazing at the tomb. "We are no match for him. He is like a Divinity walking the Earth!"
What? The statent made Giles, buried beneath the grave, pause for a mont before he burst into laughter.
"You must be joking! If there is a god in this world, it can only be !"
