Chapter 647: Chapter 486 Ancient Ceremony, Ancient Species Monster
“Let’s go!”
The chieftains of the Starry Sky Locust race witnessed the scene with terror, gritting their teeth and ordering their subordinates.
Although they did not know Xu Gu’s true whereabouts, they were well aware that Xu Gu and the army of the Northern Alliance were once together!
Now that Xu Gu’s attention was not on them, when else to flee if not now?
All the warriors of the Starry Sky Locust race were restless, already prepared to escape, just waiting for their chief’s order.
However,
before the Starry Sky Locust army had even started to retreat, screams began to sweep across the field.
Whoosh!
It was as if Death itself was swinging a scythe.
The warriors of the Starry Sky Locust race instantaneously melted, turning into puddles of bloody tainted water.
And an overwhelmingly foul stench.
“What is this…”
Before anyone could react.
Boom!
Not only the warriors of the Starry Sky Locust race, but even their chieftains began to melt.
“This is poison, when did this happen!”
The first chieftain of the Starry Sky Locust race’s pupils dilated, his eyes filled with terror and disbelief, unable to comprehend why this was happening.
Unfortunately, the poison struck too swiftly, they couldn’t react before they turned into tainted blood water.
The scene suddenly turned bizarre.
On one side, Xu Gu was slaughtering the forty thieves, and on the other, the once powerful Starry Sky Locust race collectively melted into blood.
“This is an ancient ritual.”
“Somebody is summoning a forbidden existence!”
Golden Beast exclaimed, his voice trembling, indicating his fear of this ancient summoning ritual.
“It is the leader of the forty thieves who is summoning an Ancient Species.”
Xu Gu’s eyes flickered, his smile cold, unsurprised by this scene.
He had noticed all of this earlier.
Knowing that this was a trap within a trap.
The Starry Sky Locust race, as an Ancient Species, has a fatal flaw, once a dominant race, just like the Human Clan, rejected by the new era.
What exactly the flaw was, Xu Gu was not sure.
But the first thief knew. And triggered their weakness.
Causing all of them to die from poisoning.
Xu Gu glanced at the scene again, confirming his suspicions.
Roughly related to the smoke from burning ancient wood where the Starry Sky Locust lived, and the flesh and blood of the forty thieves, plus other substances previously consumed by the Starry Sky Locust race.
This was Xu Gu’s speculation based on the first thief’s scheme.
Yes, the massacre of the forty thieves was deliberately arranged by the first thief from the beginning.
It served as a foundation for the first thief’s deeper strategy.
The objective of the first thief was actually to conduct the ancient ritual, sacrificing all of the Starry Sky Locust race, to summon an incredibly ancient Ancient Species.
And to be able to sacrifice the Starry Sky Locust race, he first sacrificed his own subordinates!
“One has to admit, being a grand thief that reigns over the Divine Domain Continent, indeed requires ruthless and merciless methods!”
The Earth Dragon Envoy was horrified upon learning this fact.
“How did he know about such a ritual?” Golden Beast was even more puzzled. This kind of ritual, he had only heard of, never known how to arrange, nor had he ever witnessed it.
“He claims to be a descendant of the Yang God; knowing such secrets is to be expected.” Xu Gu replied.
He speculated that this identity of being a descendant of the Yang God might not be just the first thief claiming so, it was likely true.
When Champion Marquis and others introduced Star Wind and Rain, their words were laced with deep frustration.
Especially the influential presence of the old ancestor of the Sun Family, this sentiment was even stronger.
“What should we do? Should we escape?”
Lian Yi asked worriedly.
She had a very bad feeling.
Not just her, everyone felt it.
The heavens and the earth were darkening.
The wind was howling.
Thunderbolt was sweeping across.
It was as if a peerlessly ferocious entity was about to descend, its presence terrifying to the extreme. Some of the weaker explorers nearby even vomited blood due to the overwhelming aura, their faces pale.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
A chilling sound arose.
It was like the beating of divine drums, or the heartbeat of a demon god.
Just by hearing this heartbeat, countless explorers felt their bodies go cold, engulfed by fear, unable to progress on their path.
“Is this the end of the world coming?”
“Run! A peerless ferocity is about to emerge!”
“Run!”
The scene instantly turned into chaos.
Xu Gu looked indifferently at all this, speaking calmly and composedly:
“Ancient Species, besides not being very smart, their entire body is a treasure. Perhaps, it can help me enhance the purity of my Rule Authority.”
Now, the enhancement of his Rule Authority’s purity couldn’t keep up with the speed of his strength enhancement.
However, up to now, he still didn’t know the colossal method to enhance the purity of Rule Authority.
He only knew that the Sword-man Clan had a token that could enhance the purity of his Time Dao.
The treasure of the Four Spirits race could enhance the purity of his ‘Path’ Dao.
Then, there was the Divine Blood, which could opportunistically enhance the purity of various Daos, mainly depending on what Authority the owner of the Divine Blood cultivated.
“Ancient Species, with a physique so astonishing. It feels like it should be able to enhance the purity of my ‘Physique’ Authority, right?”
Xu Gu stroked his chin, guessing.
If it really could enhance, that would be comfortable.
“I underestimated you; by the looks of it, you might have guessed my plan long ago.”
From afar, Star Wind and Rain, the leader of the Forty Thieves, his expression solemn, spoke coldly:
“Pity, you are too arrogant. Having guessed my plan and not hurrying to escape but daring to stand there and guard. If you do not die, it would be against natural justice!”
Boom!
As his words fell, the final loud noise exploded.
Then, the ancient ritual around was finally completed.
A terrifying giant beast huge as a star descended from the sky, threatening to crush the entire fifth star.
It was fortunate that the seven stars within the Thunder God’s Secret Realm were used by the Thunder God ages ago to form his Dojo, a perilously refined place, not only strong but also incredibly massive.
It wasn’t comparable to any small planet.
Otherwise, this giant beast might not even need to descend, and the fifth star might have already burst on its own.
“Food! All food!”
The giant beast let out an instinctual and primitive roar.
The sound waves were like Divine Thunder.
Wherever they passed, everything was obliterated.
Many explorers who were trying to escape, just being swept by the sound waves, actually all exploded and died on the spot.

[Power: Half Star Extreme King]
[Evaluation: Extremely Dangerous!]
“Indeed somewhat formidable.” Xu Gu’s eyes slightly shimmered, somewhat surprised by the data panel of the Planet Eater.
However, what followed was excitement:
“I just killed quite a few people, my power has increased again, just right to use you as a whetstone.”
