Chapter 1378: Awe-Inspiring the Heroes, Heaven and Earth Submit (Part 2)

He surveyed the surroundings, eyes shimmering with a regal arrogance that eclipsed all under heaven.

“After today, my ambition shall be entirely crowned with triumph!”

“Since ancient times, I live at the pinnacle!”

“In the realm between heaven and earth, I alone reign supreme!”

“I shall dominate the sky, looking down upon all heroes!”

…

A stream of proud words, like thunder echoing across the high heavens.

Causing everyone to tremble with a pervasive sense of invincible might.

At this moment, the entire world seemed to bow at Zhang Beixing’s feet.

Nothing could deter his determination to rule over the continent.

Alina and Richard exchanged glances, their faces lit with joy.

They felt their lord’s unprecedented confidence.

The ambition of the Dark Empire would surely crown the heavens, dominating the Nine Provinces.

[The host is indeed wise and valiant, unifying all directions, without a rival.]

Even the Persuasion System rarely uttered such genuine praise.

[Though the path ahead may be fraught with obstacles, it will ultimately be a triumphant journey.]

[As long as you persist unwavering, you will surely create an immortal and magnificent chapter.]

As the sun slowly descended and the city lights began to glow.

Zhang Beixing’s towering silhouette, in the fiery afterglow, grew even more grandiose.

Undercurrents surged, and treacherous winds howled.

The heroes of the world gathered together, each with their own thoughts.

The bright moon hung high, its clear and bright light draped over Zhang Beixing, cloaking him in a mysterious and dignified aura.

Standing with hands behind his back, full of heroic spirit, his gaze like lightning as he scanned the assembled heroes.

“It’s good you’ve come. Aside from a few insignificant figures, nothing else.”

The Vampire King spoke haughtily, his tone dismissive.

His voice deep and powerful, every word exuding a domineering aura.

“You so-called extraordinary folks, dare to act arrogantly before me?”

He squinted his enchanting gaze, a mocking smile playing at his lips.

Sleek fingers pointed toward the surroundings, as if declaring some inevitable fate.

“I’ve said it, this era is indeed my world, Zhang Beixing’s realm.”

“From now on, you shall all bow at my feet, pledge allegiance and pay tribute!”

The moment his words landed, silence reigned.

The air seemed to freeze, even breathing felt exceptionally difficult.

Such undefeatable aura caused everyone present to tense with fear.

“You… what kind of nonsense are you spouting?”

The Pope’s face was pale, trembling all over.

Struggling to maintain a shred of dignity, he retorted through gritted teeth.

Yet his voice betrayed his inner terror.

“Silence! You old fool, still too naive!”

Zhang Beixing coldly laughed, eyes sharp as blades, piercing the Pope’s pupils as if tangible.

A fierce murderous intent suddenly erupted, making the opponent shiver uncontrollably.

“Do you think with mere broken holy artifacts, you can topple me?”

“Don’t dream. Even the White Tiger you placed your hopes on has already submitted to me.”

“Much less, you insignificant beings?”

Arrogant words brimming with unmatched pride.

Zhang Beixing coldly swept his gaze over everyone present, silently declaring his supreme authority.

“This madman… just courting self-destruction!”

Talons flew into a rage, black mist churning wildly around him.

“Die! I’ll show you what true power really is!”

In the low roar, a torrent of colossal magic power surged forth.

It was the Demon Race’s most powerful forbidden technique—the Dark Gale!

The gale howled, tearing with overwhelming potency, heading straight for Zhang Beixing.

Where it passed, the earth trembled, mountains collapsed.

“Really? Do you all really think this king would be hurt by such petty trick?”

Zhang Beixing’s eyes gleamed with mockery, as if he had long seen through their every move.

Lazily, he extended a finger, gently touching the void.

Instantly, the heavens crumbled and the earth shattered!

A force more terrifying than the Dark Gale exploded madly from Zhang Beixing’s fingertip.

The destructive power of this force caused everyone to gasp in shock.

A blinding dark light swept across, instantly devouring the Demon Race’s forbidden technique.

Once the storm passed, and the dust settled.

A whirlwind rose around Zhang Beixing, his robes flared wildly.

Yet he himself remained utterly composed.

“No… Impossible…”

Talons stared in disbelief, his eyes wide as he fixed them on the man before him.

Is this truly a human? Or a demon? To possess such terrifying power?

“Oh, so that’s why you’re so arrogant.”

The Pope snorted coldly, his tone full of unwillingness.

“You truly are no longer just a normal Vampire.”

“Heh, you think you’ve seen a tiny bit, haven’t you?”

Zhang Beixing’s lips curled slightly, a hint of amusement flashing in his deep eyes.

“But don’t think that knowing a little can shake my authority.”

“The strength my existence has gathered far exceeds your imagination.”

The words were arrogant, confidence reaching the extreme.

The aura surrounding him was more terrifying than ever before.

The kind of demeanor that commands the world made the Pope and the Talons shudder with fear.

Alina took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes full of pride and delight.

How could words like “absolute beauty” suffice to describe her lover’s grace?

Even she, the Vampire Princess, couldn’t help but feel awe.

“Indeed, the Master is truly wise and valiant.”

Richard kneeled on one knee, his tone earnest and devoted.

“How can the mere Holy See and Demon Race shake your dominance? I am willing to follow you through fire and water!”

[Just as I expected, the Host’s power has reached the Transformation Realm.]

The Persuasion System sincerely praised, its tone almost human-like.

[When there is no longer any force in the world that can rival you, it will be the moment you unify the realm.]

Zhang Beixing gazed around, endless darkness bowing devoutly at his feet.

In the world, only this immortal king stood high above.

No one could shake him, stop him, or desecrate him.

Because he is the supreme existence that dominates the cosmos and controls life and death.

“You all, are still too inexperienced.”

He narrowed his sharp eyes, scrutinizing the so-called “heroes” before him.

The corners of his lips gradually pulled into a disdainful cold smile.

“Do you really think I would be harmed by your little scare tricks? How naive.”

“But never mind, let me witness the true strength of you who call yourselves kings.”

As the words fell, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky.

Rolling black mist surged from it, like the reemergence of Asura Hell.

“Your opponent isn’t just me alone.”

Zhang Beixing’s eyes flashed with a bit of jest, as if heralding a chilling presence.

“Look quickly! What is that?”

The Pope turned pale, hastily pointing at the raging black mist in the sky, filled with terror.

He was truly petrified because from that terrifying aura, he sensed extreme danger.

It was a horror far beyond reason.

And Talons, even more so, his eyes nearly popping out.

He vaguely smelled a trace of an ancient and mighty aura from that familiar yet unfamiliar presence.

That aura made him shiver all over, as if falling into an ice cave. It’s unimaginable that such a terrifying existence would reside within the mere body of a Vampire?

“This… what the hell is going on?”

A group of Demon General Knights couldn’t help but cry out.

They had never felt such heart-pounding power. Even the Pope and the Demon King were like tiny ants, powerless under this mighty aura.

The black mist grew denser, blotting out the sky and covering the sun.

Then a deafening roar suddenly exploded, making the whole world seem to stand still at that moment.

It was an existence higher than life itself, slowly manifesting before the people.

As the mist gradually dispersed, a towering figure finally appeared before the crowd.

Blood-red long horns, dark skin, eyes as cold as mirrors.

Huge wings slowly unfolded behind, covering the sky and the sun.

This figure was unimaginably vast, unimaginably terrifying.

An aura of heart-stopping power surrounded him.

“This…What is this?”

The Pope was stupefied, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

He had never seen such a frightening creature, yet simultaneously, he somehow felt this existence was familiar.

As if an imprint had been left in past divine revelations.

“Don’t tell me, this is…”

Talons also fell into unprecedented fear.

He had heard of such legends, but never thought he would witness it with his own eyes.

The existence before him was the terrifying Demon God that opens the gates of the Netherworld and rules over life and death!

“Heh, you think you’ve seen a little.”

Zhang Beixing smiled proudly, leisurely walking to the front of the Demon God.

He stretched out his slender fingers, casually brushing across the black-red body.

There seemed to be some subtle connection between the two of them.

“But let me remind you of one thing.”

The Dark Emperor turned around, his sharp eyes sweeping over the shocked crowd.

“In this world, there’s no longer any force that can stop my steps.”
