At this moment, in the Prehistoric World, the fierce battle between the Wu Race and the Monster Race was in full swing. However, when the evil spirits surged out of the Underworld, the first to suffer was none other than the Prehistoric World itself.
"What?!"
At that instant, the Twelve Ancestor Wu of the Wu Race, along with Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi of the Monster Race, immediately sensed the rupture of the Underworld Gate, as an endless surge of Death Power flooded the world.
Countless evil spirits crawled out of the Underworld, their bodies exuding the terrifying powers of Death, Yellow Springs, and Evil Spirits. The sky darkened as if the heavens were shrouded, blocking the sun and plunging the world into a suffocating darkness.
Such a shocking anomaly caused both the Ancestor Wu and the Monster Race to halt their conflict instantly.
"What happened? Why is this happening?"
"The gate to the Underworld has been broken, and endless evil spirits are pouring out!"
"How is that possible? Wasn't the Underworld Gate guarded by the Chaos Demon God? Who could possibly have the power to break it open?!"
Panic spread among the Wu Race and the Monster Race alike. A terrifying crisis loomed over them—one that could potentially annihilate both races entirely.
This was no longer a time to fight over the title of the world's protagonist. It was a time to save the future of their respective races.
"Kekeke… Di Jun, Taiyi… You never expected this, did you? We've crawled back from the depths of the Underworld! You annihilated our people, and now it's time to repay that debt!"
"Die, you Monster Race bastards! You used your strength to suppress weaker races, destroying entire clans! Today, we will take our revenge in blood!"
"Damn Monster Race! We've returned from the Underworld just to wipe you out!"
The evil spirits surged forward like a black tide, shrouding the sky with a thick aura of death. Their presence was like a vast sea of shadows, blotting out the sun and shattering all in their path.
"Are these the enemies we killed? Have they all been resurrected from the Underworld?!"
The expressions of Di Jun, Taiyi, and other prehistoric powers drastically changed. They knew full well how much blood the Monster Race had spilled over the years in their conquest of countless races.
Any weaker being that dared oppose them had been mercilessly slaughtered, leaving no one alive.
And now, those very beings had crawled out from the depths of the Underworld, each transformed into a fearsome evil spirit, returning for revenge.
Many Monster Race experts could feel the horrifying strength of these spirits—far greater than when they were alive. The Death Energy they emitted was enough to erode the flesh and soul, pulling living beings toward the Underworld to become one of them.
The Wu Race was no better. They too had committed countless atrocities in their rise to power, wiping out entire races that stood in their way.
"Di Jiang, Zhu Rong, you bloody Ancestor Wu bastards! You destroyed my family—this hatred shall never be forgotten!"
"Damn Wu Race! You're the scourge of this world! You killed my entire race and family—this time, we'll drag you down to the Underworld with us!"
"We hate! We hate! Even in death, you Wu Race bastards won't escape!"
Endless evil spirits surged toward the Wu Race, more terrifying than a spreading sandstorm.
Any ordinary being who got too close was instantly devoured by the evil spirits, leaving behind not even a single bone.
And worst of all, these evil spirits feared no death—after all, they were already dead.
"Damn it! The Underworld has collapsed, and the dead have risen?!"
"The dead are returning? Is this some kind of joke? What happened to the Underworld?!"
"Where are the gods?! Don't they realize what happens when the Underworld is breached?! These evil spirits will lead to countless deaths across the world!"
The faces of many Ancestor Wu turned grim. They could feel the overwhelming pressure. While these evil spirits were weak in life, death had made them stronger. Some among them had even reached the Quasi-Saint Realm and became Quasi-Saint-level evil spirits.
And their numbers… were beyond imagination.
It was as if every being ever killed by them had returned for vengeance.
Even if the entire Wu Race were to fight together, they would be vastly outnumbered.
"Di Jun, Taiyi," said Di Jiang in a low voice, "this is no longer the time for us to fight each other. We must join forces to deal with these evil spirits. There's a major disturbance in the heavens and myriad worlds. If we're not careful, the Wu Race will be utterly doomed."
He also realized something terrifying: he could no longer reach his Master. Many gods seemed to have gone missing, which made the situation far more dangerous than the Lich War.
If even the gods had vanished, then a catastrophe of unimaginable scale was unfolding.
"Hmph."
Although Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun hated the Wu Race to the bone, they were still rulers of the Monster Race, the Imperial Family.
Faced with this crisis, they had no choice but to weigh the consequences.
Clearly, if they didn't act, not only the Wu Race, but even the Monster Race would be annihilated by these resurrected spirits.
With that, both races tacitly agreed to cease their duel.
Rumble~~~
In an instant, the Wu Race and Monster Race charged toward the invading evil spirits from the Underworld.
But that was just the beginning.
The evil spirits were only the vanguard of a greater disaster. Countless more descended into the Prehistoric World, freely roaming and breaking into various Secret Realm Worlds.
Their immortality allowed them to shatter the seals guarding those realms.
From those broken seals, endless Desolate Beasts emerged.
These terrifying monsters were born from the corpses of Chaos Demon Gods, infused with the power of Doomsday Slaughter. They were created solely for slaughter.
What made them more horrifying was their ability to grow stronger through killing—the more lives they consumed, the faster their strength multiplied.
Thus, these Desolate Beasts burst forth in all directions, forming deadly beast tides that ravaged everything in their path.
They even slaughtered the evil spirits, letting nothing stand in their way. Anyone who blocked them was torn to pieces, their bodies scattered like dust in the wind.
