Chapter 995: Fallen Titan |
The Void Emperors were extremely mysterious, dangerous, and terrifying existences. They were the absolute rulers of the Void Clan, commanding countless Void Legions.
But what exactly was the Void Clan?
According to analyses by the powerful Major Races, the Void Clan was a species that should not exist. They were greedy and violent, bloodthirsty and cruel creatures that thrived in the Void Space.
Slaughter was in their nature. Parasitism was their instinct.
This species—or rather, this type of lifeform—was far more terrifying than the evilest of the evil Clans.
At the very least, even the most fearsome evil Clans could still be reasoned with. But against the Void Clan, there was only endless slaughter. When the two sides met, it was a battle to the death.
Survival against them was nothing short of a huge stroke of luck. And death, it meant being devoured by the Void Space, reduced to food or vessels for the Void Clan.
It could be said that all races were merely sustenance for the Void Clan.
With this understanding, how could the Myriad Races possibly accept their existence? Almost as soon as the Void Clan was detected, the races unite to annihilate them.
As far as Yu Zi Yu was concerned, the Void Clan was nothing special. After all, his Purple Dragon form was a Void Emperor, and his subordinate, Zi Lian, was part of the Void Clan.
It could be said that no one understood the Void Clan better than Yu Zi Yu.
However, as he had not yet revealed his identity as the Purple Dragon, Yu Zi Yu had to put on an act.
For instance, at this moment—
His voice carried a chilling tone, and his expression was severe.
It seemed as though he was both cautious and apprehensive.
"Hmm…" A sound of surprise echoed, tinged with astonishment.
"You’ve never encountered other Emperors of our Clan?" The bewildered voice lingered in the air, as though unable to comprehend the situation.
After a moment, the voice muttered to itself, "That’s odd. I clearly sensed an intense concentration of Void Energy here…"
[So that’s how it is…] Yu Zi Yu thought to himself, the pieces of the puzzle clicking into place as clarity dawned upon him.
[It must have been the lingering aura of the Purple Dragon that attracted this entity here. And now that I think about it… Didn’t the Octopus Monster I’ve captured earlier mention that his leader was searching for the Void Emperor? That leader is quite likely this person, Fallen Titan.]
[In the past, a prodigy of the mighty Titan Clan was parasitized by Void Creatures, transforming into what is now known as Fallen Titan. Even more intriguing is the fact that this prodigy was none other than the Little Brother of the Eternal Titan, the Titan Clan’s legendary First Divine Pillar.]
*Zeze…* Curling his lips, Yu Zi Yu gazed at Fallen Titan seated on a throne deep within the Void Space, whose face was filled with puzzlement. Feigning curiosity, Yu Zi Yu asked, "Who would’ve thought that members of the Void Clan could communicate with us? If others found out, they would be astonished."
This remark was not casually made.
As far as Yu Zi Yu knew, the Void Clan encountered by the Myriad Races either lacked intelligence and sought only to kill and devour, or they coldly hunted their prey.
Some races even believed that the Void Clan were mindless beasts.
In response, some speculated that in the Void Clan’s eyes, all other races were simply food.
And who would bother talking to their food?
This only deepened the rejection and hostility the Myriad Races felt towards the Void Clan.
This enmity was natural.
After all, the Myriad Races and the Void Clan were inherently opposites.
One hailed from the ancient races of the previous or even earlier eras, while the other was a species born of this new era, nurtured by the Heavenly Dao.
It was the clash between the new and the old eras.
Yet one could not deny that this era, as an era that birthed a terrifying species such as the Void Clan, was truly fearsome.
In previous eras, the species born from the Heavenly Dao rarely caused any significant waves. Some even integrated into the Myriad Races.
But in this era, the Void Clan had grown increasingly powerful, becoming a considerable threat to the Myriad Races.
If left unchecked, it was possible that one day, the Void Clan might annihilate all the Myriad Races.
In light of this, it was clear just how terrifying the Void Clan currently was.
Fallen Titan, seated high on his throne, frowned slightly, his confusion deepening.
He found the entire thing strange. After arriving in this Star Domain, he had confirmed that the back side of this region was nurturing a noble Void Emperor.
The Void Energy surging from the back side of this Star Domain was unmistakable.
Moreover, he had even discovered a Void Continent silently entrenched within the Void Space.
Because of this, he suspected that the Forces in this Star Domain were being cultivated and controlled by that Void Emperor.
Yet now, as he listened to the words of this ‘Star God’ and observed his seemingly genuine expression, he was dumbfounded, utterly dumbfounded.
For a long while, in rare silence, Fallen Titan fixed his gaze deeply on Yu Zi Yu, who stood behind the Void Vortex.
Then, in an icy voice, he asked, "You truly haven’t seen any other Void Emperors?"
As he spoke, Fallen Titan raised his right hand.
*Rooooaar… Rooooaar…Rooooaar…*
*Screeeeech, screeeech, screeeech…*
Amid the cacophony of roars, shadowy figures hidden deep within the Void Space began to emerge one by one.
If this was not the territory of another Void Emperor, he would show no mercy. After all, it had been a long journey, and the Void Creatures accompanying him had not been fed yet.
*Hehe…* A cold chuckle escaped Fallen Titan, and a cruel expression crept onto his face.
[This guy…] Yu Zi Yu’s eyes narrowed as he noticed the countless Void Creatures behind Fallen Titan.
Some resembled Octopuses, others resemble insects.
Amid their grotesque forms, they emitted terrifying screeches.
Many of these Void Creatures caused Yu Zi Yu’s gaze to tighten slightly.
[So, this is the Void Army.]
Summoned by the Tier-6 Void Emperor, Fallen Titan, Void Creatures had converged from all corners of the Star Domain. They had gathered for the upcoming feast.
This was one of the signature abilities of a Void Emperor—Void Rend, a terrifying power capable of tearing through the barriers of the Void Space and the cosmos, allowing countless Void Creatures to descend from all corners.
[If this Void Army truly descends, the efforts I’ve planned for decades would likely be severely disrupted…] Yu Zi Yu felt a wave of helplessness wash over him.
[How in the hell did Fallen Titan amass such a vast army of Void Creatures!? If it had only been hundreds or thousands, it would have been manageable, but tens of thousands!?]
If they descended here, while he might remain unharmed, Earth, the Celestial Realm, and the entire Solar System would surely be drenched in rivers of blood. This was something Yu Zi Yu absolutely could not allow.
*Haaaaa…* A long, deep breath escaped Yu Zi Yu as his expression grew colder with each passing moment.
At the same time, a Purple Dragon-shaped phantom began to materialize around him.
What was even more terrifying was that Yu Zi Yu’s Void Elf Form also started to radiate purple energy streams.
As a Void Elf, he was half-Void Creature, imbued with the very power of the Void Space itself.
