Emperor’s Domination

frightened.

“That’s a monster from Black Tides.” A Heavenly Sovereign hiding using a stealth technique announced: “They’re coming.”

The listeners exchanged glances after hearing this.
Most had a vague idea of these monsters.
Everyone knew that they would eventually come after a tidal recession and attack Black Wood Cliff.

However, they never saw these monsters before.
Their impression and knowledge were limited to their seniors’ stories and ancient scrolls.

“…
Shit!” An expert looked up and was horrified.

The skeleton was now looking down at them as if they were worms.
The bones have dried up long ago but everyone still felt as if the skeleton was alive and sentient.

It had a faint, dark red glow in the sockets instead of eyes – this made it look even more intimidating.

“Run!” The sovereign shouted before escaping from this place.

The skeleton didn’t give them any time before a slash.
Due to its claw’s size, several hundred cultivators were caught right away.

“Ah!!” A few were instantly crushed to death right away, akin to an insect being crushed by a man.

Some among them were famous masters but they didn’t have the chance to escape. 

“Vile creature, enough!” An ancestor saw his disciples being captured and unleashed a formidable sword slash.

“Clank! Clank!” The sword ray struck the skeletal hand, resulting in fiery sparks.
Unfortunately, it only left a small nick.

Blood splashed out along with terrible screams.

Blood flowed down from within and stained the lower bones to the horror of the spectators.
No one expected this skeleton to have a penchant for eating men.

Judging from the composition of the bones, this thing didn’t use to be a wild beast or anything.
The amalgam of bones shouldn’t have any lingering intent or hunger.
Moreover, it should be feeble and break right away from the first touch.

On the other hand, it seemed to be alive with a gluttonous desire on top of being extremely strong.

“Zzz…” After eating several hundred cultivators, flesh began to grow from the dried bones.
This was an insignificant amount.

In order to be full again, it would most likely need to eat a hundred thousand cultivators or so.

“It’s trying to regrow its body by eating us!” Many shouted in astonishment.

“We need to take it down!” The experts and ancestors summoned their treasures for an onslaught.

“Rumble!” A pagoda the size of a mountain came crashing down.
A cauldron soared across the sky and released an endless inferno…
