SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK...

From another direction, countless fat rats appeared. Each one was as large as a pig, rolling forward like a tide. The scene was terrifying.

Amidst the horde of rats stood a fat old man, stroking his beard and radiating a terrifying Demon Qi.

"And what if you add our Rat Race to the mix?" the fat old man shrieked. "Ape King, where is the Snake Demon? Hand him over."

In just a short time, the Monkey Race now had to face the forces of two great races: the Wolf Race and the Rat Race.

Their numbers were astonishing. There were at least a hundred thousand wild wolves, and as for the Rat Race, they were a black, swarming tide that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Ordinarily, this was Monkey Mountain, the territory of the Monkey Race, so they should have had the greatest numbers. But a while ago, Monkey Mountain had been ravaged by a Celestial Tribulation and a Demon King’s assault, killing countless monkeys and severely depleting the Monkey Race’s Primordial Qi.

Now, mustering tens of thousands of Spirit Monster Monkeys in formation was already an incredible feat.

The situation had suddenly become grim. These two forces represented two great Demon Kings, and their armies were now at the doorstep.

The Crimson Sun Giant Ape was always hot-tempered, but he couldn’t help but swallow hard at the sight of the massive packs of wolves and rats. "Big Bro, I can’t believe even the Fat Rat King is here. He’s a true expert at the Pseudo Demon King Realm. What are we going to do?"

"What else can we do? If one comes, we’ll fight one. If a pair comes, we’ll fight a pair." After being subdued, the Ape King could no longer just play it safe.

"How are we supposed to fight this?"

The Crimson Sun Giant Ape felt helpless. ’That Snake is truly the bane of the Monkey Race. Nothing good ever happens when he’s around.’

"Ape King, hand over the Snake Demon now, or we’ll begin the slaughter! Does your Monkey Race truly wish to be annihilated?"

The Fat Rat King roared while stroking his beard, his voice infused with Demon Qi, making it deafening.

When the Bloodthirsty Wolf King saw the Fat Demon King arrive with his rat army, he was delighted. ’It seems the Monkey Race is doomed today.’

’With the Fat Demon King and me joining forces, what great deed can’t we accomplish?’

"Big Bro, what is that Snake doing in there? Even if you want to protect him, he should come out and face the enemy with us! You can’t really expect our Monkey Race to be his cannon fodder!"

The Ape King said nothing, his gaze fixed forward. He was already prepared for a great battle.

"Little Bro, when the fighting starts, you guard this cave entrance. Don’t let anyone in."

The Crimson Sun Giant Ape snorted. "I’m not playing guard-monkey for that damn Snake. I’d rather go fight."

"You..."

...

"Fat Rat King, this Monkey Race won’t give up until they’re faced with death. How about we charge in together?" The Bloodthirsty Wolf King could no longer hold back, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty light.

The fat old man glanced at the distant Bloodthirsty Wolf King. "Excellent. That’s just what I was thinking."

"Kill!"

The Fat Rat King waved his hand, and the dense swarm of rats surged forward like a plague of locusts, a truly terrifying sight.

"My wolf pups, tear those monkeys to shreds for me!"

The Bloodthirsty Wolf King roared at the sky.

One after another, the wild wolves charged forward ferociously, wave after wave. The scene was gruesome and cruel.

"Sons of the monkeys, for those who dare invade our Monkey Race, show no mercy!"

The Ape King’s Demon Qi boiled around him as he let out a great roar. The Crimson Sun Giant Ape, furious, led the charge, taking tens of thousands of monkeys to meet the enemy.

In that moment, the curtain rose on a slaughter between different races. The air filled with the smoke of battle as flesh and blood flew.

Just then, the Bloodthirsty Wolf King flew into the air, looking at the Ape King who was guarding the cave entrance. "I, the Wolf King, have long found you an eyesore. Today, I will kill you and eat your monkey brain!"

The Ape King’s eyes were filled with contempt. "What do you think you are? You’re nothing but a lapdog for the White Demon King."

As he spoke, before his words even faded, the Monkey King and the Wolf King clashed with a single move in the air. A tremendous BOOM echoed as the kings of the two races separated.

The Bloodthirsty Wolf King was astonished. "You’ve broken through, too? You’ve reached the Pseudo Demon King Level?"

The Battle Intent in the Ape King’s golden eyes blazed like fire. ’Finally, I can have a real fight! That battle with the Snake was too damn frustrating. I had all this power and nowhere to use it.’

"Die!" The Ape King threw a punch, unleashing a force of unparalleled ferocity. His immense strength was beyond doubt.

The Bloodthirsty Wolf King was no slouch either, having also nearly reached the Pseudo Demon King Level. He met the attack, and for a time, they were locked in a fierce stalemate in mid-air.

This valley on Monkey Mountain descended into utter chaos. The three types of Cultivated Creatures slaughtered each other; they were all at the Awakened and Spirit Monster Level. Before long, corpses littered the ground and blood flowed like a river.

At this moment, a towering ancient tree arrived at the outskirts of the battle and was instantly startled. The scene was simply too bloody and spectacular. Hundreds of thousands of creatures were locked in a meat grinder of a battle, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.

"Good heavens, you’re scaring me, Charlie, half to death! Just how many Demons want our master dead?"

"Haha, the Ape King has become Master’s Battle Companion, too! I can feel Master’s location—he’s inside the cave," the Bull Demon King laughed heartily. The moment he saw the tens of thousands of monkeys meeting the enemy and the great battle between the Ape King and the Bloodthirsty Wolf King, he understood.

Only one of Master’s Battle Companions would act so recklessly.

"Charlie, charge in!"

The Bull Demon King ordered, still sitting on a tree branch.

"Charge my ass! You get your own ass down here and clear the way!"

’Making a tree like me charge into a battle where hundreds of thousands of Little Demons are slaughtering each other? Isn’t that just asking for death?’

Before the Bull Demon King could make a move, there was a...

SWISH...!

A long, slender serpentine shadow shot out from the tree. It had three heads and six eyes, radiating a formidable Evil Qi. A ghastly voice, like a mournful wail, echoed, "Today, I can finally eat my fill!"

In an instant, a massive, dozens-of-meters-long Evil Snake materialized in the center of the battlefield. A terrifying aura unique to the Snake Race spread out, making one feel as if they were treading on thin ice. Its body was covered in glittering Snake Scales, impervious to any blade. Its three terrifying Snake Heads swayed and devoured everything in their path. With a single sweep of its tail, huge swathes of rats were utterly annihilated.

Many of the Little Demon rats were scared out of their wits by this Evil Snake. ’This thing is too terrifying!’

AWOOO!

With the might of a tiger and the presence of a lion, the ferocious and hot-tempered Golden Pupils couldn’t possibly miss out on a fight. It leaped from the Tree Spirit, transforming into a towering, fearsome tiger, and charged straight in, entering slaughter mode.

Golden Pupils carved a bloody path forward. The Tree Spirit quickly followed, extending dozens of vines from its body that whipped through the air like a meat grinder, killing countless Rat Spirits.

"I, the Peacock, will not be going down there. It would be far too easy to dirty my Nine-Colored Feathers."

The Azure Owl remained perched elegantly atop the Tree Spirit. ’This kind of chaotic scene is best left to those two brutes.’

The "brutes" she referred to were the Three-headed Evil Snake and Golden Pupils, two daredevils who feared nothing and reveled in such bloody spectacles.

The Fat Rat King saw the dozens-of-meters-long Evil Snake and the ferocious tiger join the fray, but he paid them no mind. His gaze was fixed on the cave entrance in the distance. With the Ape King tied up by the Bloodthirsty Wolf King, now was the perfect time to go in and kill the Snake Demon.

The Snake Demon was, without a doubt, inside.

Even from such a great distance, he could smell a terrifying aura of the Snake Race coming from within.

As long as he killed that Snake Demon, everything would be settled.
