Primordial Ancient Serpent-Chapter 88 - : Chaos City Lord

Dozens of epochs passed in the blink of an eye.

Now, as the 100th epoch neared its end, the time for Gu Chuan to open the altar and preach was approaching. Chaos City had become densely populated with demon gods from various corners of the Chaos. However, some demon gods were so far away that even with a hundred epochs, they couldn't reach the city in time.

As the moment of the sermon drew closer, more and more chaos demon gods gathered.

"It took nearly a hundred epochs, but we finally arrived at Chaos City! Fortunately, the preaching hasn't started yet," some newly arrived demon gods exclaimed.

Many of them had traveled from remote regions of Chaos. Even upon receiving news of the sermon, their journey was fraught with dangers—encountering other demon gods who hunted and ambushed them along the way. These perils forced them to proceed cautiously, causing further delays. But at long last, they had arrived just before the opening of the altar.

"So this is the legendary Chaos City? It's truly magnificent!"

"I wonder what kind of supernatural powers the Primordial Ancient Serpent possesses?"

"Indeed. If it's unimpressive, wouldn't that mean we've wasted hundreds of epochs traveling here?"

The gathered demon gods gazed up at Chaos City. It was an unimaginably vast structure, stretching across the void of Chaos for three trillion kilometers—far larger than the bodies of ordinary chaos demon gods. Even to them, Chaos City was an immense and endless fortress.

Many began speculating about the abilities of the Primordial Ancient Serpent. If it proved disappointing, then their arduous journey, filled with hardships and obstacles, would have been in vain.

Suddenly, a deafening voice boomed from the city gates, shaking the very souls of those present. "All idle demons, be silent!"

The sheer power of this voice caused the gathered demon gods to tremble. An oppressive divine aura descended upon them, making it difficult to breathe.

Turning their eyes toward the city gate, they saw a massive three-headed demon dog, its fierce eyes scanning the crowd. Its very presence radiated aggression and authority.

"Who is that?" a demon god asked curiously.

"Be careful," an older demon god whispered. "That's a Three-Headed Demon Hound. It's an overlord-level demon god—its strength is extraordinary. In the past, some demon gods tried to cause trouble in Chaos City, but they were devoured alive by it. You must not provoke it. If it finds a reason to act against you, it will not hesitate. It has a terrible temper and great authority as the gatekeeper."

"A gatekeeper?" A newly arrived demon god was stunned. "An overlord-level demon god is guarding the city gates?"

"Heh, guarding the gate is the least of it," the veteran demon god sneered. "Before the 90th epoch, nine overlord-level demon gods tried to wreak havoc in Chaos City. Do you know what happened? They were swallowed whole by the Chaos City Lord, leaving not even a trace of their existence."

The gathered demon gods felt a chill down their spines.

"The Three-Headed Demon Hound was late to the scene and escaped death, but the City Lord still punished it. Now, it is bound here as the gatekeeper until it repays its sins. Do you think it would be in a good mood?"

Hearing this, the new demon gods were utterly dumbfounded. The thought of an overlord-level demon god—one capable of ruling its own domain—being reduced to a mere gatekeeper was shocking.

"What kind of being is the Chaos City Lord?" someone asked.

"The Lord of Chaos City is the Primordial Ancient Serpent, a being of immense supernatural power," the veteran demon god explained. "Since it is the ruler of this city, we respectfully call it the Chaos City Lord. No one dares to speak its true name lightly."

"I see..."

The newly arrived demon gods nodded in understanding, their curiosity about the Chaos City Lord growing stronger. If this entity could suppress overlord-level demon gods so effortlessly, its power must be beyond imagination. Listening to its teachings would undoubtedly bring them immense benefits.

"Move along! Stop dawdling here!"

The Three-Headed Demon Hound's voice rumbled through the air. "You're annoying me! Get inside and don't disturb my sleep!"

A veteran demon god immediately responded, "Hurry! The Three-Headed Demon Hound seems to be in a decent mood today. If we delay, it might become irritated and make things difficult for us."

Hearing this, the new arrivals wasted no time and rushed toward the gates.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

One by one, the demon gods entered Chaos City.

Boom!

Suddenly, the Three-Headed Demon Hound roared once more. "How many times must I repeat myself?! You must assume human form before entering Chaos City! Do you wish to die?!"

"What?!" The demon gods were stunned. They hadn't expected such a rule.

"But... I don't know how to transform into a human form," a chaos demon god said hesitantly.

"Then get lost!"

The Three-Headed Demon Hound's furious voice shook the air. With a single burst of its terrifying aura, it sent the untransformed demon gods flying, blood spraying from their mouths as they crashed into the ground.

Seeing this, the remaining demon gods paled in fear. They had no doubt about the Hound's power. Even among overlord-level demon gods, its strength was formidable.

Without hesitation, they hurriedly shifted into human form, compressing their size and entering the city in an orderly manner.

"Heh, a bunch of weaklings," the Three-Headed Demon Hound scoffed, watching them scurry inside.

Though it was bound to this gate, unable to leave until its punishment was lifted, it still found satisfaction in bullying new arrivals and occasionally devouring those who refused to obey the rules.
