”Of course not, please rest assured, Black Rat God, and let the master be at ease. Even if Desolate Stone Village is formidable, even with Ye Tianchen’s protection, they are definitely no match for our Devouring Sky Village. I will use our Devouring Sky Village’s supreme treasure to utterly annihilate Desolate Stone Village!” The old patriarch of Devouring Sky Village hurriedly said with trepidation.

The figure with a human body and a rat head stood up from its seat, coldly looking around the entire Devouring Sky Village. Its nose suddenly turned into a rat’s nose, releasing a foul odor, stretching out to become very long. Seeing this, the old patriarch of Devouring Sky Village was taken aback. This was a divine skill of the flesh, able to enlarge and reduce the physical body, both overall and individually. Just this point alone, even Ye Tianchen probably couldn’t do it. Indeed, the ancient alien race is not to be underestimated.

”Black Rat God, you...” The old patriarch of Devouring Sky Village was shocked and quickly said upon seeing the human-bodied, rat-headed figure elongating its nose, seemingly exploring something.

”Nothing much, just looking for a pair of virgin boys and girls to eat. Go and take care of your business!” the Black Rat God said cold-bloodedly.

The old patriarch of Devouring Sky Village was greatly alarmed upon hearing the Black Rat God’s words. It was very obvious that this Black Rat God would not wait for him to send people to deliver a pair of virgin boys and girls but would personally look for them within Devouring Sky Village right now, wanting to consume one boy and one girl from Devouring Sky Village. This was hard for the old patriarch to accept. Previously, when they talked about offering virgin boys and girls to this cold-blooded Black Rat God, they would send people outside to capture them. Even if they were eaten, they weren’t children of Devouring Sky Village, and there was no emotional impact. It was of no importance. But now, the Black Rat God wants to search for children to eat within their village, making the old patriarch naturally anxious.

People are like this, indifferent to others’ tragedies and sorrow, unaffected. Only when it happens to themselves do they realize the pain. Devouring Sky Village is the same. When it comes to offering virgin boys and girls, they always send people to capture them outside, and never think about how miserable these ignorant children are, how heartbroken their parents are. But now, it’s their turn, and they know how heart-wrenching it is!

”This... still... I hope the Black Rat God will spare the children of our Devouring Sky Village. I promise to find a pair of virgin boys and girls for you to enjoy before sunset tomorrow...” The old patriarch of Devouring Sky Village hurriedly said.

”Can’t wait, my skill has reached a bottleneck. I can’t wait until tomorrow. I must eat now...” the Black Rat God said with complete cold-bloodedness.

”But...” The old patriarch of Devouring Sky Village still wanted to persuade, naturally unwilling to let this human-bodied, rat-headed figure eat the children of their village.

The Black Rat God took a cold glance at the old patriarch of Devouring Sky Village and said, ”Daley, if you say one more word, I will eat all the children in Devouring Sky Village. Don’t be ungrateful. If it weren’t for my words in front of the master, where would Devouring Sky Village exist...”

Cold-blooded, the human-bodied, rat-headed creature spoke harshly. The old patriarch Daley of Devouring Sky Village was scared into silence. Perhaps if he fought desperately, he might match the Black Rat God in battle. The Black Rat God’s cultivation realm isn’t that profound, but the terrifying presence behind it is overwhelmingly powerful. If that horrifying presence were to act, it might only take a single strike to destroy the entire Devouring Sky Village, possessing tremendous deterrence. Daley dared not resist and could only watch helplessly as the Black Rat God searched for virgin boys and girls within Devouring Sky Village.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Suddenly, the Black Rat God made its move, extending a huge claw—a mouse’s claw—covered with various black hair, looking extremely terrifying. With a single grab into Devouring Sky Village, when its massive claw retracted, a virgin boy and girl appeared in its hand. The awakened boy and girl screamed and cried in terror but couldn’t break free from the Black Rat God’s grasp.

”Father, save me, save me...”

”Father, save us, save us...”

”This... Black Rat God, have mercy, have mercy! These two children are my own flesh and blood!” Daley, the old patriarch of Devouring Sky Village, was shocked, nearly passing out. He never imagined that the Black Rat God would eat virgins and children. After a search within Devouring Sky Village, his own children were captured.

”What own flesh and blood? I now need nourishment; human flesh and blood to cultivate. These two children’s physiques are excellent, very suitable to be my food. Just consider them gifts you’ve offered me!” the Black Rat God spoke without a shred of humanity.

”No... this... Black Rat God, spare them, spare my children!” Daley, the old patriarch of Devouring Sky Village, knelt down with a thud. He had countless times sent warriors from Devouring Sky Village to capture children and virgins to offer to the Black Rat God, hoping it would speak favourably for Devouring Sky Village in front of that terrifying presence. But truly, karma is inevitable, and Daley never dreamed that it would be his turn now—to witness his beloved children being eaten. That feeling was one he finally understood!

”Ignorant, extremely foolish, they are just a pair of children. Without them, you can have more. Besides, once I grow stronger and my master regains his Peak Power, he will surely gather the fragments of Earth’s Ancient Transmission Array, and take you to the true cultivation place of this Martial Arts World. A mere Spirit Grass can grant you hundreds or even thousands more years to live, what does it matter...” the Black Rat God spoke coldly.

Crunch!

Crunch!

Daley stood stunned, rooted to the spot, shaking all over. It was a fear, a heartache, an indescribable feeling.

He saw blood flowing from both corners of the Black Rat God’s mouth. It was very red, piercing to the eyes—it was the blood of his own children, a pair of lovely children, eaten alive by the Black Rat God, dying miserably without even a scream. And as their father, he stood right in front of them, unable to protect them, not daring to rescue them. That heartache was still very palpable.

The creature with a human body and rat head licked the blood from his lips, and coldly looked at Daley, the old patriarch of Devouring Sky Village, saying: ”I know it wasn’t easy for you to have children at your age. But if you can make me stronger, if the master recovers, with his methods and power, rejuvenating you by decades will be no problem. Then you can have as many children as you want. Don’t lose more by thinking small; quickly resolve the Devolent Stone Village matter, or it won’t just be two children dying in Devouring Sky Village.”

After speaking, the Black Rat God turned into a black demonic wind and disappeared, leaving Daley alone standing in place blankly. His feelings were very complex. Ever since Devouring Sky Village obtained the cultivation skill, it gradually grew stronger, and found a Supreme Treasure from Ancient Times, which further strengthened Devouring Sky Village. However, that mysterious and terrifying presence also appeared, rendering Devouring Sky Village powerless to resist, only able to serve it. For years, Devouring Sky Village lived under fear and repression, unsure when that terrifying presence might become unhappy and destroy the entire village, leaving not a single trace. In the end, they were weak, and weakness in this world meant destined to be bullied, with no reason—just because they were weak, they must be at others’ mercy.

”Ah!” A woman’s scream came, startling Daley. He was about to rush to the source when he stopped, as a stout man from Devouring Sky Village arrived, saying: ”Patriarch, your wife threw herself into the well and committed suicide!”

Daley sat on the ground, lost in thought. He didn’t know what to say, couldn’t find the words. Never did he imagine that in one night, he’d lose his home and family, ending up utterly alone. Watching his children eaten by the Black Rat God, their red blood shook his soul, and his wife followed by committing suicide. Now, there was just him left in the house. He thought back on years of deeds done for that mysterious terrifying presence, killing many people, searching for countless things. But ultimately, he was left with his home destroyed, his family lost. In the eyes of that terrifying presence, Devouring Sky Village was just ants to be slaughtered at will!

”Patriarch, what do we do next?” the stout villager from Devouring Sky Village asked.

”What do you think?” Daley glanced at the stout man, asking in return.

”Patriarch, there’s something I’ve always wanted to say. We’ve done so much for that terrifying presence over the years, but what does it think of us? Kill when it wants, cut when it likes, treating us like nothing. Even your children have been eaten. If I’m not mistaken, once Devouring Sky Village loses its value, that terrifying presence will consume us all!” the stout villager from Devouring Sky Village whispered.

”And what then? We are weak, trapped in the grasp of that terrifying presence. Like Devolent Stone Village, we are weak in the Ancient Martial World, struggling to survive, living so long as we can...” Daley sighed.

”Patriarch, I’ve heard much about Ye Tianchen. This young man is indeed a rarity; perhaps he can defeat that terrifying presence. Maybe we should...” the stout villager from Devouring Sky Village hesitated, leaving his words unfinished. (To be continued.
