361 Asharas Seal (1/2)
The eruption of the twelve leading Serkar members' cultivation bases swept aside the wind of dread blowing within the Infernal Cult and hurled it back at the Zenith Ants, whose eyes widened in a stupor.
”None is lower than peak-stage Divine Ascension.”
The ten queens realized in astonishment. Although to them, peak-stage Divine Ascension was by no means dreadful, that so many cultivators of that level appeared within the Infernal Cult made no sense whatsoever. If they possessed the ability to cultivate such experts, the Celestial Church would have long-since been destroyed!
And yet…such was the truth that stood before them! And to say nothing of the Zenith Ants, the Infernal Cult itself couldn't comprehend this sudden change!
Following Berken's order, Hejin's lips curved into a wolfish, and bright light erupted from his body! Without a word, he turned into a dazzling beam of light and illuminated the dozens of ant elders before reappearing behind them all!
*SLASH*
Of the one-hundred ant elders, nine saw their heads detached from their bodies without any means to resist! And as their heads and bodies tumbled down, their souls rushed toward safety!
Alas, Hejin again turned into flaring light that brushed them all before he reappeared among his kin, and all their souls collapsed!
”High-grade…Mastered…Divine Extreme Light Physique? Damnable!”
An Ant Queen realized in outrage. The Extreme Light Physique may not be among the strongest, but it definitely was one of the most troublesome ones! The sheer speed of Extreme Light Physique owners made them the best tools for guerilla warfare. Even if each of those queen's strength stood above Hejin's, even the top three didn't dare assert the ability to claim his life!
”When my eminent self already wasn't in a good mood. You have the gals to come to our doorsteps to demand what?
Surrender or death? What a joke, in the past, you were lucky enough to preserve your bloodline, but since you won't obediently hide beneath the tree, let's erase it once and for all! But who knows, if the melody of your pleading is entertaining enough, I might keep you as cum-drainers to vent my frustration!”
Hejin exclaimed, causing all except Gulistan and Berken to burst into laughter.
”KILL!”
The Ant Queens roared, and without further delay, assembled their Divine Legion in a battle-formation before shooting toward the twelve Serkar leaders! Meanwhile, the one-million Saint-level demon ants gathered a step below and channeled their holy forces in combined ranged-strikes aimed at the twelve Serkar.
Multitudes of massive rocks and boulders rose to slam into the Serkars.
Gulistan stretched out her hand, causing a golden force field to appear and repel all those strikes. In tandem, Hejin and the nine other Serkar elders shot toward the ant queens, elders, and the thousands of Zenith Ant Sages they led while Gulistan and Berken remained behind.
The top three queens detached themselves from the group to appear before the father-daughter pair and directly tackle them. The reason was simple. Of the twelve Serkar kinsmen, only Gulistan and Berken reached Demigod-level!
As for how they did it, it was fairly simple. When they offered one billion souls to the Demon Kings and brought their merit reserves to new extremes, Berken and Gulistan reasoned that instead of using it to seek foreign help or spreading out thin across the Infernal Cult's top houses, they should pick a select group of the most outstanding Serkar scions to receive the Demon Kings' core blessings.
The current twelve were the most outstanding of the senior generation, with sky-high innate talent only shackled by the Mortal World's lack of resources. Upon receiving the Demon Kings' boons, their foundations and cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.
In the past, although headed by the Torul, the Infernal Cult was concurrently led by Torul, Orrag, and Serkar while the soul and serpent fiends stood not too far behind. Therefore, such a move was impossible. But now that the Serkar lorded over all, none could stop them.
But though surprised by their foes' cultivation levels, the Ant Queens feared little, after all, with life essence and their demonic blood, how could the golden-blooded Serkar compare? Before titans, the Ant Queens wouldn't have such confidence.
But titans they were not, and therefore, house Serkar was doomed to destruction!
Emerald light erupted from the top three queens as they released the full-might of their life essence, not holding anything back.
