Slaughter in Paradise Lost

Jin Sanyi, straddling the neck of the Eighth Heaven Otherworld Half-Ancestor, profoundly felt the terror of the powerhouse beneath him. The divine power surging through the opponent's channels was like a roaring river, causing even his soul to tremble.

Being in such close contact made Jin Sanyi feel as if he were sitting on the mouth of a volcano, liable to be annihilated at any moment by the most berserk force.

"D-damn it all... Riding a pinnacle Half-Ancestor's neck—I can die without regrets! B-but is there even a chance to brag about it afterward?"

A grin split Jin Sanyi's face, but he couldn't tell if it was closer to a cry or a laugh.

Boom!

The Eighth Heaven Otherworld Half-Ancestor's vital energy surged, his blood flowing like a tsunami, like a thousand stampeding horses, rushing and clashing within his veins, containing immeasurable power of destruction. Rumbling thunder echoed in Jin Sanyi's heart.

Now Jin Sanyi was on the verge of tears. The sheer terror of this power made him feel as if his rear end was sitting on the tip of a sharp spear rather than a neck.

"Shit... I'd rather be pierced by the legendary Grand Annihilation War Spear!" Jin Sanyi wailed in despair.

No one knew what was going on in this guy's head at such a critical moment, a mess of chaotic thoughts.

The only thing that gave Jin Sanyi some comfort was that Keke was right in front of him, standing on the pinnacle Half-Ancestor's head, surveying the surroundings.

An Eighth Heaven Half-Ancestor on the verge of berserk. An immense pressure swept across the ten directions, shaking the first heavenly curtain, causing even the other Half-Ancestors to tremble in fear.

The Half-Ancestor had no desire to simply kill Jin Sanyi; that would be letting him off far too easily. The two legs still dangling in front of his chest were an intolerable affront.

He decided to torture Jin Sanyi to death and make him regret ever being born into this world.

"Ya-ya." Little Keke stood on the head of the Eighth Heaven Otherworld Half-Ancestor, bent over to look down, her big shimmering eyes meeting his blazing pupils. A little confused, she murmured, "Why are you standing under my feet?"

Motherf*cker, YOU are standing on MY head!

The pinnacle Eighth Heaven expert was fuming, his head practically on fire. Though he said nothing, his eyes conveyed everything.

His expression cold and merciless, he reached out a large hand to grab Keke and Jin Sanyi, planning to torture them in the most brutal ways a thousand times over.

But what was shocking was that the metallic, coldly gleaming hand seemed infinitely close to Keke and Jin Sanyi, yet maintained a constant distance from them.

In the end, the giant hand expanded to a size of several zhang, but still, it could not touch them. A faint layer of light formed a special space. The hand extended for who knows how many li, but it could never reach the little beast.

The power of Paradise Lost was unleashed! The little beast was wielding it with dexterity.

The Eighth Heaven Otherworld Half-Ancestor's arm had plunged over a dozen li into the mysterious space, yet he still could not trap Keke and Jin Sanyi.

"Ya-ya... What are you doing?" Keke bent over, tilting her head curiously to look at the powerful Otherworld Half-Ancestor, her big eyes fluttering, her lashes clearly visible.

Motherf*cker, I'm trying to catch you!

The pinnacle Half-Ancestor wanted to shout it out, but he swallowed it back, feeling deeply humiliated. Being unable to catch the one person and one beast riding his neck was simply too bizarre!

"You all go to hell!"

The Eighth Heaven pinnacle Half-Ancestor was enraged. Divine light radiated from his entire body, a massive beam shooting into the sky. He had completely lost patience and no longer planned to toy with them; he intended to use his boundless divine power to annihilate them into dust.

Divine flames blazed to the heavens. The Eighth Heaven Half-Ancestor was only two heavens away from being an Ancestral God. His divine power was vast as an ocean, wild and incomparable.

Everyone around involuntarily retreated. No one could withstand that world-destroying power up close.

But what was astonishing was that this devastating divine force did not obliterate the little beast. A layer of seven-colored light enveloped it and Jin Sanyi, connecting to a resplendent divine garden. All the destructive power was channeled into that mysterious space.

Paradise Lost had absorbed all the divine power!

The seven-colored radiance separated Keke and Jin Sanyi from the Otherworld Half-Ancestor by a gap as thin as paper, yet no matter how the pinnacle Half-Ancestor shook his divine body, he could not harm them in the slightest.

At the same time, Paradise Lost opened wide, slowly descending, enveloping the Eighth Heaven Otherworld Half-Ancestor.

The moment the radiance from Paradise Lost covered him, the pinnacle Half-Ancestor's divine power was as if suddenly extinguished. In the blink of an eye, it had vanished completely.

Jin Sanyi, still riding the Eighth Heaven Half-Ancestor's neck, entered Paradise Lost. This allowed the stutterer to finally relax. His peach-blossom eyes blazed with light, and his legs dangled and swayed across the Half-Ancestor's chest. "Hahaha..." He laughed triumphantly.

Keke covered her ears, flew up from the Half-Ancestor's head, and retreated to the side, staring at Jin Sanyi with dissatisfaction.

Bam!

Even without his divine power, the Eighth Heaven Half-Ancestor's martial arts remained. He executed a backward throw, slamming Jin Sanyi hard onto the ground.

"Urgh..."

The stutterer's peach-blossom eyes went wide. The fall had nearly knocked the wind out of him.

"Meow! You dare throw me?!" He scrambled to his feet and charged, shouting, "Without divine power, who's afraid of who?!"

Bang, clang, crash...

The two clashed with brute force, fighting like common mortals. Jin Sanyi wrestled with the Otherworld Half-Ancestor's head, twisting and pulling with all his might.

Outside, everyone was dumbfounded. Was that a pinnacle Eighth Heaven Half-Ancestor? How could he be so pathetic, getting his neck twisted and wrestled to the ground by that frivolous man with the peach-blossom eyes?

The six Otherworld Half-Ancestors outside were completely stunned. The eight Kings nearby were also slack-jawed.

The most excited were the Golden Divine Halberd and the Dark-Iron Seal. The two divine weapons howled like old monsters, immediately charging into Paradise Lost.

But after entering the divine garden, they quickly transformed back into weapons, finding movement extremely difficult. However, they were like they'd taken an兴奋剂, constantly taking cheap shots at the Otherworld Half-Ancestor.

Bang, clang...

The two divine weapons stabbed and smashed repeatedly. Having been shattered four times before, they had fallen from the Sixth Heaven to the Fourth Heaven. Their pent-up frustration finally found a punching bag.

"Reptiles! Ants!" the Eighth Heaven Half-Ancestor growled. His innate superiority made it impossible to accept the reality before him. A bunch of weak ants were riding him—unimaginable!

"Damn it, who're you calling an ant?!" Jin Sanyi, though already black-eyed and having taken quite a beating, still grabbed the Otherworld Half-Ancestor by the collar and wrestled him.

The two divine weapons continued to shoot arrows from the dark, relentlessly hammering the pinnacle eighth heaven expert.

Whoosh, whoosh.

Xiao Chen and Bai Qi also rushed into Paradise Lost.

"Ya-ya ya-ya..." Keke was overjoyed, her big eyes nearly squinting into crescent moons as she flew to Xiao Chen. The little creature kept chattering, as if she had endless things to say.

They hadn't seen each other for one hundred and fifty-eight years. Xiao Chen also missed the little one. He fondly pinched her nose, then pulled out a large handful of Yin-Yang Fruits. These were a core entity from the upgraded Purple Diamond Yin Wood Ginseng Fruit—radiating the flow of Yin and Yang, releasing an intoxicating fragrance.

These were, after all, fruits formed by Monarch-level ancient trees, true spiritual essences of heaven and earth.

Keke immediately hugged the Yin-Yang Fruits, overjoyed. She bit into one and a look of ecstasy appeared on her face. Soon, she snapped out of it. She plucked a pile of spiritual treasures from Paradise Lost and offered them to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen bit into a peach, picked up a War Sword, and strode towards the Eighth Heaven Half-Ancestor. Without a word, he ran him through the backside.

The powerful Otherworld Half-Ancestor immediately let out a roar, leaping up from Jin Sanyi's grasp. It was a comical scene. A pinnacle Half-Ancestor had never been so embarrassed, now looking like an ordinary man!

"Ant! Inferior race!" The Eighth Heaven Otherworld Half-Ancestor's eyes blazed as he glared at Xiao Chen.

"And you think you're noble?" Xiao Shen advanced, his War Sword swinging down with cold, merciless force.

Splat!

Blood sprayed. An arm separated from the Eighth Heaven Half-Ancestor's body, gushing forth.

Paradise Lost was Keke's domain. Here, the little beast was virtually invincible! The seven-colored radiance effortlessly restrained the powerful Otherworld Half-Ancestor.

"Inferior race, your doom is near. Soon you will be completely erased from this world!" The Eighth Heaven Half-Ancestor remained defiant, his eyes filled with a cold, murderous intent.

"Noble race, you should understand that right now, I am the one butchering you. What happens in the future is not for you to decide."

Xiao Chen swung the blood-dripping War Sword again. Splat! He severed another leg from the Half-Ancestor.

"Damned reptile..." The Eighth Heaven Half-Ancestor howled like a beast. "Your doom is near!"

Seeing Xiao Chen raise his sword again, Jin Sanyi rubbed his blackened eyes and stammered, "H-hold on, l-let me have a couple of swings too, to let off some steam..."

The Golden Divine Halberd and the Dark-Iron Seal volunteered for the job. Jin Sanyi and Bai Qi each took a divine weapon. One stabbed wildly, the other smashed repeatedly.

The two sentient divine weapons howled in delight, finally getting their revenge. Even Bai Qi had been shattered into pieces multiple times, his soul power greatly diminished, so he was particularly vicious toward the Eighth Heaven Half-Ancestor.

In Paradise Lost, the group ganged up on the unlucky pinnacle Half-Ancestor. The ultra-violent scene was hardly suitable for children.

The eight Otherworld Half-Ancestors outside were in complete uproar, all shouting. Everyone had understood that even a pinnacle Half-Ancestor who entered Paradise Lost would have all his divine power stripped away.

"Stop it, or I will kill these people immediately!"

The voices of the eight Half-Ancestors penetrated Paradise Lost.

Wu Ming and his son Wu Xiaoshi, along with Fatty Zhuge, had been captured when they fell from the Star Gate, landing on three Otherworld Half-Ancestors.

As for Jin Totti, he was even more unlucky, falling directly into the arms of an Otherworld Half-Ancestor and naturally being captured without question.

Inside Paradise Lost, the group brutally beat the Eighth Heaven Half-Ancestor. By the time they had vented their fury, the unlucky pinnacle Half-Ancestor had been chopped into a meat-stick, all four limbs severed.

This group played a very inglorious role, looking exactly like a mob of thugs.

"Had your fun? Time to trade." Xiao Chen tossed the ecstatic Golden Divine Halberd and Dark-Iron Seal aside.

"You've gone too far!" The eight Otherworld Half-Ancestors were gnashing their teeth. In just a few moments, their leader had been tortured like this. It was hard to imagine that a lofty Half-Ancestor could have such a miserable day.

"Who do you want to trade?" one of the Otherworld Half-Ancestors said, his face dark as a poisonous snake, staring at Xiao Chen.

"All four, naturally." Xiao Chen dragged the blood-dripping War Sword. "He's an Eighth Heaven Half-Ancestor. If you want a one-for-one trade, I'm sorry, but we'll just have to bury him as fertilizer."

"Fine! We'll trade!" The eight Half-Ancestors' faces were gloomy, their killing intent forcibly suppressed.

The two sides exchanged prisoners.

Obviously, the eight powerful Half-Ancestors hated Xiao Chen and his group to the core. Before the exchange was even properly completed, they started making their moves.

The Eighth Heaven Half-Ancestor was, after all, a pinnacle expert. The moment he left Paradise Lost, he instantly reformed his body.

Boom!

Divine light shot into the sky, shattering heaven and earth.

He instantly recovered and, with the momentum of a sovereign descending upon the world, struck the death blow at Totti and the four others. At the same time, the Half-Ancestors behind him also struck viciously.

Xiao Chen had already warned Keke. The little beast had been watching closely and acted the moment she saw the danger.

Seven-colored radiance illuminated heaven and earth. Paradise Lost descended. The Eighth Heaven Half-Ancestor had just experienced its terror and immediately turned into a cyan rainbow, fleeing to the side.

Boom!

Paradise Lost enveloped the area. Totti and the other four were rescued without a scratch. Among them, two slightly weaker Half-Ancestors were slow to retreat and were trapped inside.

"Son of a bitch! You think Big Bro is easy to bully?!" Fatty Zhuge immediately perked up. He leaped up and charged at one of the Half-Ancestors.

Although the fatty's combat skills were usually a mess, now that they were both reduced to mortals, his physical build showed its power. His massive frame barreled in, bearing down from above. Though his techniques were inferior, his tactics were shrewd. He ended up flying forward and landing on the unlucky Half-Ancestor, knocking him away.

Totti was also full of energy. As he brawled with the other Half-Ancestor, he shamelessly yelled, "What's a Half-Ancestor? I'm not afraid of a Half-Ancestor! Call me the Peerless Half-Ancestor-Conqueror, Lord Totti!"

Wu Xiaoshi was itching to join in, wanting to get a few kicks in on the two trapped Half-Ancestors. But Wu Ming was very steady and stopped him, not wanting him to act rashly for fear that the Otherworld experts would come after them afterward.

However, when Wu Ming saw the six Half-Ancestors outside glaring at everyone inside with livid faces, he knew they were already marked. Not attacking wouldn't do them any good either.

"Fight!"

He grabbed his son and rushed forward in two steps, at the same time pulling out a giant bell and wildly smashing the two Half-Ancestors, hitting them however it pleased him.

"You two waste talents! Hitting them like that won't make them feel any pain. You have to hit like THIS..." Desperate, Wu Ming became an expert. He demonstrated for Totti and Fatty Zhuge, specializing in underhanded blows.

"We knew you weren't a good guy all along!" Fatty Zhuge and Totti thought to themselves. Seeing Wu Ming's methods, they couldn't help but tighten their legs.

Outside, the six powerful Otherworld Half-Ancestors could only fume in frustration. They had no way in. No one dared to rush into Paradise Lost, as its terror had already been proven by the Eighth Heaven Half-Ancestor.

In the distance, the nine powerful Kings were also watching in shock. They were deeply astonished. Yi Tianzhong murmured to himself, "I knew it... This little thing has an origin that's terrifyingly huge!"

"Come out and fight if you have the balls!" one of the Otherworld Half-Ancestors shouted.

"G-got the balls? T-then come in! I'll take o-on all six of you, one-on-one!"

Jin Sanyi stood arrogantly in Paradise Lost, his peach-blossom eyes shooting electric sparks, striking the pose of a supreme expert, taunting the six Otherworld experts.

"Motherf*cker! You stutterer!" one of the Otherworld Half-Ancestors raged. "If you dare come out, I'll crush you ten thousand times over with one finger!"

Being so despised and slighted, Jin Sanyi said nothing. He simply picked up the Golden Divine Halberd and charged at the two Otherworld Half-Ancestors being beaten by Wu Ming and Totti.

"Aren't you motherf*ckers? Well, I'm torturing you right now! So much for your superiority!" The stutterer's Golden Divine Halberd blazed with light. Splat! He opened a huge bloody hole in one of the Otherworld Half-Ancestors' backsides.

The six Otherworld Half-Ancestors outside were dumbfounded, then gnashed their teeth, their bodies trembling with rage. This frivolous stutterer was utterly contemptible!

Just then, Xiao Chen communicated with Keke. Finally, Keke tilted her head in thought, then pointed at Xiao Chen. A strand of divine light rushed into his body, instantly restoring his divine power.

After Keke had reached the Half-Ancestor realm, she could, after careful consideration, even allow specific individuals within the Divine Garden to recover their power. Her control over the divine garden was becoming increasingly adept.

"Despicable reptiles! You all deserve to be annihilated!"

"Your race is on the verge of extinction!"

"Ants, just wait for the end!"

The six Otherworld Half-Ancestors raged outside.

"You keep calling us ants, and you claim your race is noble. So let me, an ant, slaughter two of your noble Half-Ancestors right now and see for myself where your superiority comes from."

Xiao Chen strode towards the two Half-Ancestors trapped in Paradise Lost. Seeing this, Jin Sanyi and the others immediately moved aside.

Boom!

Xiao Chen's body surged with divine power. His right hand shot out, rapidly expanding. Bang! He grabbed one Half-Ancestor, practically crushing him into pieces in an instant. Then, with a violent sweep of his hand, he ripped out the powerful soul.

"I don't see anything special about your souls..." At this moment, Xiao Chen was utterly cold-blooded. He directly refined the Half-Ancestor-level soul into his own body.

Then, he approached the other powerful Half-Ancestor. Rumble! He smashed him to pieces, drew out his soul, and refined it into his body.

These two souls were comparable to Monarch-level fire seeds, containing boundless divine power. Although Xiao Chen could no longer advance by devouring fire seeds, the benefits to him were still immense.

The six Half-Ancestors outside were beside themselves with rage, all radiating fervent killing intent as they glared at Xiao Chen.

"What are you looking at? Do you dare come in?"

Boom!

Just then, the second heavenly curtain in front violently shook. A figure in a hedgehog-like divine armor flew backward with a bright radiance, his Doomsday Heavenly Halberd nearly escaping his grasp.

It was the Otherworld Ancestral God Li Huiyou. Without a doubt, he had been beaten back by the Ancestral Lord!

In a battle between opponents of this caliber, it was common for stars to fall. Him being knocked out was nothing unusual, but it also demonstrated the terrifying strength of that Death World's Ancestral Lord.

"Ancestral God, please take action and subdue the beast!"

Immediately, one of the Otherworld Half-Ancestors reported what had just happened to Li Huiyou.

"Came from within the Star Gate?!" Li Huiyou looked at the massive Star Gate in the sky, his expression instantly changing. He exclaimed, "Someone entered the Most Evil Place and carved out such a star gate?! How is that possible?!"

Then, he looked towards Paradise Lost. The moment he saw the snow-white little beast, Li Huiyou's face immediately changed color. He staggered back several dozen steps, shaking in shock. "It's you..."

Xiao Chen knew that this Otherworld Ancestral God had mistaken Keke for Keke's father. He wanted to tell Keke to pretend to be her father to save their necks, but it was already too late.

Keke didn't know any of this and just murmured, "Ya-ya."

Li Huiyou was, after all, an Ancestral God. His divine sense was incredibly powerful. He immediately noticed something was wrong and said in surprise, "No... you're not that heaven-defying guy."

Then, he threw his head back and laughed. "To think I've found his descendant! Hahaha... I will make sure he has no offspring! I will make your race disappear completely!"

He stepped forward in one stride to the edge of Paradise Lost, then furrowed his brow. "So it's Paradise Lost? Good, good, good! I'll take that too!"

The pressure of an Ancestral God shook the four fields. He tried to suppress Paradise Lost. A grim smile spread across Li Huiyou's face.

"Ya-ya..." The little beast sensed the danger keenly.

But just then, the two large bluestones that had been following them here, the ones with the crooked writing, suddenly emitted a dazzling light. The Star Gate in the sky dissolved into pearl-like points of light, all shooting towards one of the bluestones.

That one bluestone, which had once acted like a mirror to reveal Keke's father, blazed with light and became as smooth as glass, perfectly reflecting a person's figure.

After completely absorbing the power of the Eternal Light contained within the Star Gate, the image of the white little beast within the mirror not only appeared again but also became incredibly lifelike, as if reborn.

Li Huiyou was greatly alarmed and retreated a great distance, warily looking back.

All the Half-Ancestors and Kings in the distance changed color. Seeing Li Huiyou's reaction left them feeling incredible.

"Hmph! It's just afterimage!" The Otherworld Ancestral God let out a long sigh of relief and strode forward again, his murderous intent chilling the air.

But then, the white little beast on the glowing bluestone walked right out of the mirror, seeming alive and palpable.

"Y-y-you..." Li Huiyou's face changed in terror. He couldn't believe his eyes.

Keke's father looked incredibly cool. With his hands behind his back, wearing crystalline sunglasses with a stalk of grass in his mouth, he looked up at the sky, seemingly not bothering to glance at Li Huiyou.
