Chapter 640: Chapter 479 The Legend of the Ancient Species
It was fortunate that the Northern Alliance fleet had sensed the news in advance and pressed on dramatically.
Otherwise, even more powerful beings might have perished.
However, during the sweep of the fleet, a situation was encountered at the center of the storm.
“Is this that ferocious beast?”
“Indeed powerful!”
Everyone at the scene was shocked.
They saw, surrounded outside, an immense beast, like a mountain, tens of thousands of feet tall, floating within the clouds. In the sky-high clouds, the crowns of ancient trees were visible, but the crowns ahead had all been smashed by this beast.
“No, this is just a pawn.” Xu Gu said indifferently.
He had a system that allowed him to see the opponent’s nature at a glance.
[Ancient Starry Beast]
[Rank: Ancient·Ordinary Species]
[Legend has it that this is the offspring of a star-devouring creature. When it reaches adulthood, it will be as massive as a planet and can easily devour planets. A true purebred star-devouring creature, once fully grown, can swallow a star in one bite and feed on entire star systems.]
“Ancient ordinary species. Above the Demon King species, it’s close to a Demigod Level existence, or you could say it’s a special Demigod Level,” Xu Gu thought to himself.
Such ancient species lacked intelligence. Of course, in this world, there was an iron rule: life forms without brains often were great fighters, and the ancient species were the best example.
Ancient Starry Beasts definitely had the inherent gifts comparable to Demigod Level ones; it’s just that they lacked brains and weren’t very intelligent, so the oppressive force they exhibited might not match that of a normal Demigod Level life form.
“What? This is just a pawn?”
Hearing Xu Gu’s words, all the powerful beings around were startled, taken aback.
The top echelons of the Northern Alliance nearby also frowned slightly, but they didn’t react too much, as they had probably expected this.
Several High Star Intermediate Kings were dispatched as commanders, leading the fleet and using the Star Destroyer Cannon, they fought fiercely and finally killed the young Ancient Starry Beast.
Only then did the main fleet continue to move forward.
For the remainder of the journey, the Northern Alliance’s army chose to keep a low profile, with all fleets activating stealth mode, quietly making their way.
Even so, it took many days of travel before they finally reached their destination.
Looking around, the area was brimming with vitality to the extreme, almost like a paradise for life-based law practitioners.
Each ancient tree soared high into the clouds, like huge mountains, with even the shortest tree reaching three thousand feet!
Each leaf was like a huge plaza.
Even from the leaves, one could vaguely see various life forms.
They appeared to be the indigenous inhabitants of this place.
However, at the base of the ancient trees, piles of horrifying bones were accumulated, including the bones of various creatures and even many from the Human Clan.
This region emitted an aura that was primitive, ancient, and yet savagely fierce.
Hundreds of Starry Sky Battleships forming an invincible fleet, hovered in front of the forest of ancient trees, a hundred miles apart.
“We do not wish for slaughter. Open a passage for us, and we might spare you from calamity.”
The hoarse voice of the Phoenix Clan ancestor reverberated.
“What a joke! A bunch of inferior life forms daring to covet the great Lifeboat, the Creator’s Ark?”
After a short while, a strong and cold voice, not much weaker than that of the Phoenix Clan ancestor, came through aggressively.
“Heh.”
The warriors and explorers on the fleet instantly laughed in disdain.
These uncivilized indigenous people were calling them the inferior life forms?
This was just too funny!
“It’s like a dream; since you all want to die, I shall fulfill your wish!”
On a warship, Divine Light soared into the sky, and terrifying energy fluctuations swept out—it was an old ancestor of the Phoenix Clan, merely an Upper King of the Low Star rank, yet he was donned in combat mecha.
His presence reached the staggering degree of an Upper King of the Middle Star!
The ancient trees and giants rocks around him directly crumbled, and thunderbolts falling from the sky ignited the layered clouds.
Boom!
In the ancient woods, an overwhelmingly strong aura burst forth, carrying with it a wild and primitive air.
It was an old warrior resembling a human-form locust of ancient times, draped in battle armor made of special wood, covered in primitive runes, wielding stone tools in his hands, they burst forth from the bizarre blood sea-like waves and soared into the sky.
His body’s Evil Qi raged through heaven and earth.
He was the boss of the natives in the ancient woods.
“Civilizations decline with time. The successors are not necessarily wiser than us pioneers.”
The native boss spoke indifferently, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes: “And you are destined to be inferior to us.”
He was aware of the rough situation of these warships, not completely isolated from information.
In his eyes, ancient beings aren’t necessarily less prosperous or weaker than new ones. Especially, this group of people in front of him, were indeed too weak.
He thought that guarding the Creator’s Ark this time would be extremely difficult, but now, it seems not to be the case.
As long as he defeats this group of warships, he should be able to deter the opponents for the time being.
Then, secure enough time for the ark to leave this place.
Xu Gu furrowed his brows slightly.
[Starry Sky Locust Descendants]
[Rank: Ancient·Ordinary Species]
[The descendants of the Cosmic Locust Clan, their bodies flowing with ancient bloodlines. The Cosmic Locust Clan were entities that could devour starry skies, and when billions of locusts converged, the star systems they passed turned to void.
[Although the Starry Sky Locust Descendants are just the offspring of the Cosmic Locust Clan, their might is still formidable.
[Their ancestors once followed the Maya Civilization Creator’s Ark for a period!]
“They do seem quite formidable,” Xu Gu commented lightly.
He didn’t tell the others, only informing his Car Servant.
In an instant, all the Car Servants wore solemn expressions.
An entity deemed quite formidable by Xu Gu—how could it be simple?
“Are there actually Starry Sky Locust Descendants?”
Especially the Golden Beast, being a creature from tens of thousands of years ago, his knowledge was more ancient and hence he knew the legends of these Ancient Species.
“What kind of era is this? How have all the powerful tribes of the past emerged?”
He felt both fearful and excited at the same time.
The ancient Human Clan, Atlantis civilization, Maya civilization—all appeared one after another, and as divine beings were reviving, the Soul Clan was making moves. Now these Ancient Species, once known as destroyers of starry skies, were also reappearing on Earth.
It looked like they were about to make a big wave!
“The closer it gets to the time of the struggle for cosmic dominion, the more chaotic the situation will become,” Xu Gu commented, not too surprised.
That’s what Champion Marquis and the others had told him.
The time for the Human Clan and the Mechanical Sea to contest for ultimate dominion was approaching.
During this period, all sorts of demons and deities would also emerge, trying to stir the waters and snatch the fruits of victory.
“However, for me, it’s still quite a long time,” Xu Gu said.
So far, he hadn’t been Awakened but for less than a year, and for him, three to five years could still be considered a long time.
Meanwhile, on the other side, battle had already erupted.
