Chapter 1210: Magic Might Shocks Past and Present

## Chapter 211: Demonic Power Astounds All Ages

"He just ate one of our clan's powerful experts like that!?"

"Yes… yes, he devoured a Saint alive, and that wasn't the end; it was just the beginning."

This Golden Crow, covered in blood, recounted the events in terror, its body trembling uncontrollably. Its horrifying description sent shivers down the spines of the two Golden Crow Saints, making them feel as if they were there.

Immediately after the first clash, an Ancient Saint fell. The Golden Crow tribe was shocked. Another powerful figure stepped forward, but was unfortunately killed the moment he uttered a reprimand.

"How did he attack?" the two Golden Crow Saints asked, their hearts filled with reluctance.

"He just... grabbed him, and then with a strong twist, he broke a Saint's neck," the blood-stained Golden Crow recounted in terror, gesticulating with its hands.

A chill ran down the necks of the two old Golden Crows. The human-demon seemed to have effortlessly snapped the Golden Crow clan's Ancient Saint's neck, as if twisting the neck of a mere chick.

Where did this being come from? He was truly terrifying, like a demon, striking fear into anyone who merely heard of him.

"What's the situation of the battle?" the two ancient Golden Crows nervously asked. If something happened midway while their clan's great figures were descending upon Beidou, it would be a true disaster.

"The situation is very bad. He's a human-demon. We've never seen anyone so brutal," the Golden Crow said. "Our Old Ancestor immediately ordered a retreat. We entered different domain gates. I survived, but I don't know about the others."

As he left, he saw the human-demon charge into the Golden Crow ranks, unstoppable, devouring Ancient Saints of the Golden Crow clan alive. Anyone who encountered him died instantly, and Golden Crow blood splattered everywhere.

"Was it Old Ancestor Jin Qu leading them, or Ancestor Jin Yu Dazheng, or perhaps the supreme Highness?" a Golden Crow Saint asked.

The Golden Crow stammered, "It was... Old Ancestor Jin Qu leading. It looks like he's probably doomed, otherwise he wouldn't have dispersed us and made us flee separately into the ancient Beidou star."

Fusang Star possessed a five-colored altar that could lead to other ancient lands. They had emerged from a barren star not far from Beidou, where an ancient teleportation array was located. The remaining journey to Beidou was just a flight, but they never expected such an incident to occur along the way—a grave catastrophe.

"Now our clan members are fleeing in the cold cosmos, their fates uncertain. We truly don't know what realm that human-demon has reached," said the Golden Crow who had escaped with its life, trembling in extreme fright.

In the depths of the dark cosmos, the battle had long concluded, and the bloody fate of the Golden Crow powerhouses was inevitable.

A being, bare-chested and resembling an old wildman, sat cross-legged in the void. Flames danced between his hands, dazzlingly bright.

Any powerful expert present would have been astonished, for these were innate Origin Dao Flames, which only extraordinary beings could manipulate.

The old man treated them as ordinary flames, meticulously and seriously roasting an ancient Golden Crow, whose body shimmered with golden light, as if he were very hungry.

Beside him, several other Golden Crows had reverted to their true forms, their immense bodies pierced by a broken reddish divine iron chain, strung together like turkeys.

Each of them had shimmering golden feathers, radiating divine brilliance, clearly formidable experts. Yet, now they had become mere dinner, destined to be roasted.

In the distance, more Golden Crows fled for their lives in terror. Some opened domain gates, while others fled directly into the depths of the dark cosmos, utterly petrified.

For them, this was truly a catastrophe. The human-demon's strength was immeasurable, inspiring utter despair!

Even their own Old Ancestor Jin Qu had been clubbed to death by this being, left bleeding profusely and utterly defenseless.

Their guts twisted with regret; many were so enraged and remorseful they coughed up blood. When they saw the mummified corpse in the cosmos, some had tried to seize the crimson-gold divine chains wrapped around it, and some ancient Golden Crows had even wanted to refine the body into a weapon. This, however, had unleashed such a great disaster.

If they had known, they would have certainly kept their distance and avoided this harbinger of plague!

They had seen abnormal beings, but never one so utterly perverse. How mighty the Golden Crow tribe was, protected by heaven, yet they had unexpectedly encountered such an unprovoked calamity.

Fortunately, the human-demon paid no heed to others; he merely slaughtered the old Golden Crows who had disrespected him and insulted his "corpse," using them to satisfy his hunger.

The Origin Dao Flames flickered, casting a faint glow in the dark cosmos. Soon, a golden-brown, glistening, and seemingly delicious Golden Crow was roasted to perfection, and the old Saint began to feast.

If anyone had been present, they would have been scared half to death. What was once a Golden Crow Saint was now nothing but someone else's meal.

"I never thought I'd return here..."

The human-demon muttered softly as he heartily devoured the glistening Golden Crow Saint meat, gazing with an inexplicable emotion at the massive ancient star ahead.

Back then, upon leaving Yinghuo, he had used the secret technique of "Eternal Exile," tearing open the cosmos and banishing himself into its unknown depths, never expecting to end up in his old stomping grounds.

"No, you can't do this to us... Our clan has a Great Emperor; he'll deduce all of this!"

Among the strung-up Golden Crows, one was still alive, trembling from extreme fear, stammering that this felt like a nightmare. Someone actually... dared to eat them; it was utterly absurd and terrifying!

"You aren't good guys. What 'Great Emperor'? Self-proclaimed, I suppose? If he's capable, tell him to come find me, I'll eat him too!" The human-demon was quite unrefined. He wiped his mouth, then picked up his white bone club and instantly clubbed the Golden Crow to death. Its skull shattered, and Golden Crow blood splattered.

He was like an invincible tribal chief from the primitive Stone Age, living off raw meat and blood. The old Saint was unfazed by the Golden Crow clan's threats, clearly not believing in superstitions.

Meanwhile, the white bone club in his hand gleamed, shimmering with a dreamlike ethereal radiance. It was refining the essence of several Golden Crows' holy bones, imprinting them upon its surface.

One could see a lifelike Golden Crow appearing on the white bone club, radiating divine light; all the Golden Crow holy bones had become part of this weapon.

Upon closer inspection, there were other distinct markings on it: ancient crocodiles, soaring azure dragons, which strongly resembled the true forms of the ancient imperial clan from the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest. Additionally, there were various other ancient races, the lowest of which were Saints.

If anyone were to carefully examine this white bone club, they would likely be scared out of their wits. How many ancient Saints must have been clubbed to death to create so many mottled ancient marks?

In any case, it was easy to imagine that when this human-demon elder wielded his bone club against these powerhouses, it was likely as easy as killing a chick or a wild duck.

Such a horrifying event occurring in the depths of the starfield began to be sensed by some Ancient Saints from beyond the domain, in addition to the Golden Crow clan.

"Someone is wielding Origin Dao Flames in the cosmos, seemingly refining something?"

"What? He's... roasting a Golden Crow! Heavens, that's a Saint of the Golden Crow clan, and he's... eaten him!"

Soon, the Sages from outside the domain were alerted, causing a massive stir. Several powerful experts' eyes nearly popped out, unable to believe this fact.

"Holy moly, I didn't see that wrong, did I? This... is unbelievable! Who is this person? He's too perverse!"

"He's eating Saint-level Golden Crows! Has he returned from the age of myths? The gods of ancient times ate Golden Crows, Rocs, and Azure Dragons as food. Where did he come from!?"

After witnessing this scene, a few powerful Saints, upon regaining a bit of composure, immediately fled at light speed, putting as much distance between themselves and the scene as possible! It was no joke; someone who could eat a Golden Crow Saint must have an excellent appetite and would certainly have no problem crunching them up too.

This news immediately spread back to Beidou. At first, people didn't believe it, but when a Saintly Elder personally came forward to confirm it, it instantly caused a huge uproar.

People now knew that an extremely formidable human-demon had arrived. Many felt their skin crawl, fearing that if this individual came to Beidou to hunt, many would likely perish.

The ancient races, in particular, felt something was amiss when they received the news. The more they thought about it, the more he resembled a legendary Demon Lord.

"Could it be... the Human Demon of the Primordial Era? Has he appeared alive again?"

Thinking of this possibility, the ancient races' scalps tingled, and they wished they could jump up and flee wildly. This figure was too brutal; back then, he had devoured an entire region!

"The Human Demon of the Primordial Era has reappeared? Prepare quickly! Don't let him block our gates, or our entire clan will be eaten!" This was the message many conveyed to each other.

Some ancient predecessors sighed, saying this was retribution. Back when humanity was weak and became mere blood-food for many great races, an aberrant and terrifying human-demon eventually emerged, who, in turn, massacred the ancient race powerhouses. Even some renowned Ancient Saints were roasted on spits and devoured by him.

"The Human Demon is back!"

This news swept through Beidou like a hurricane, sending shivers down the spines of many ancient races. When the Saints from beyond the domain understood what kind of being this was, they too were stunned, cold chills running down their spines from the tailbone upwards.

Upon receiving this news, Ye Fan was somewhat stunned. He had parted ways with that wild old man on the ancient star of Yinghuo, and he never expected that after so many years, this brutal living ancestor would reappear in the Beidou starfield.

He could only sigh, marveling that this ancestor's divine powers had reached an incomprehensible level. Without relying on the five-colored altar, merely by using a secret technique to tear open the cosmos, he could travel such vast distances!

A few more Golden Crows fled to the vicinity of Beidou's Sun Star. They were captured, their minds searched, and the horrific, one-sided battle scene was personally witnessed.

And after the two Golden Crow Ancient Saints received the final, confirmed result, they immediately settled down, wanting to escape back to Fusang Star. Such a being was impossible to deal with; confronting him would be pure suicide!

Only Ye Fan was overjoyed. After confirming the news, he immediately went to intercept the two ancient Golden Crows. He had been keeping an eye on these two high-profile powerhouses, and now, naturally, he would show no mercy.

"The Human Sacred Body is our blood-food, the Green Bronze Cauldron will belong to our clan's Great Emperor..."

The two ancient Golden Crows no longer dared to utter such words carelessly. Even the Golden Crow army had been eaten, and now, provoking him so openly would likely lead to a similarly grim end.

"Too late. It's too late to restrain yourselves now. Words spoken are like water spilled; you've sown the cause, and today I've come to claim the fruit!" Ye Fan sneered, his black hair cascading, his body robust, standing like a god or demon in the void near the Sun.

He believed that the two Golden Crows, hidden within the Sun Star, could not escape and could be found.

"The wild old man is back," Ye Fan murmured to himself. "Back then, he treated me to an ancient divine crocodile. Today, I'll roast a Golden Crow for him, as a return gesture."

He mused that if this brutal old man had particular tastes, he could take him to the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest or the Fire Kirin Cave, where he might be satisfied.
