Godslayer: After the Seraph rejected me, I ascended directly to the highest godhood.

"Qingyu, what's going on? Why did they suddenly stop moving?" Baili Pangpang kicked the giant ants in front of him and asked in confusion.

An Qingyu fiddled with the giant ant's corpse and frowned, saying, "They lost mental control in an instant. It must be that the queen ant had a problem, or the queen ant died."

"These worker ants are essentially the offspring of the queen ant. If the queen ant dies, the offspring will not live for long either."

Upon hearing this answer, Lin Qiye and Baili Pangpang looked surprised and both turned to look at the entrance of the ant queen's nest.

"The queen ant is dead. Who killed her? We're all here!"

"There may be more than just us in this primeval forest."

Lin Qiye's expression turned serious. Each of these worker ants was at the Sichuan Realm, and the queen ant was at least at the Sea Realm level, or even higher.

The fact that the queen ant is dead only means that there were other people who entered the primeval forest.

An Qingyu nodded, adjusted her glasses, and said, "Moreover, they are very strong, at least at the Boundless Realm. I estimate that the worker ants suddenly appeared in a group because they sensed that the queen was in danger."

"Could they be here to search for the legendary treasure?" Baili Pangpang wondered.

Lin Qiye and An Qingyu exchanged a glance. They had heard the legend from Baili Pangpang before they even encountered the first giant ant.

Legend has it that there is an eternal kingdom here, where endless treasures reside.

Moreover, paper figures used for the dead appear from time to time, which are said to be products of the Eternal Kingdom.

Lin Qiye thought about it and concluded that with their current strength, facing Wuliang shouldn't be too much of a problem.

After all, there's an over-the-top weirdo named Jiang Ye in the team.

He turned to look at the entrance of the lair and said slowly, "Let's go in and see what their purpose is."

The five entered the queen ant's nest, where they found the corpses of worker ants everywhere. Just like the ones outside, they lay perfectly intact on the ground, motionless.

Just as Lin Qiye and the others reached the center of the nest, they saw the giant ant corpses scattered all over the ground and green blood flowing out continuously.

They all stood there, stunned.

An Qingyu crouched down, touched the green blood on the ground, and said, "The queen ant and these giant ants died at the same time."

"In other words, they killed the queen ant in an instant."

Instant kill!

Lin Qiye was shocked. A sea-level ant queen, plus so many river-level giant ants, could be instantly killed?

This technique... it seems familiar.

He tilted his head slightly, his gaze lingering on Jiang Ye for a moment before looking away.

Jiang Ye has been with us the whole time; it's impossible for him to have come secretly to kill the queen ant.

So... in Anta County, who has such power?

……

Boom!

After a dull thud, the bronze door standing in front of Jiang Ye slowly opened, and the dust that had accumulated on the door fell off.

As the bronze door opened, gusts of cold wind blew in, and the temperature dropped several degrees.

Jiang Ye's myriad divine powers shone brightly once more, and with another thud, the bronze door opened completely.

Amidst the hazy smoke and dust, the outline of an ancient city could be vaguely discerned.

Although in the original story only Li Deyang could open this bronze door, great effort can still produce miracles.

Jiang Ye didn't linger and stepped into Fengdu.

The bronze gate behind it also slowly closed under the laws of Fengdu.

Upon entering, Jiang Ye can clearly see the panoramic view of the ancient city.

Faded red lanterns hang in front of the doors, and the houses on both sides of the street look old and retro.

A chilling wind brushed against Jiang Ye's cheek.

Although the place appeared to be empty, in Jiang Ye's view, dozens of ghosts were already curiously observing him from the side.

Jiang Ye ignored the ghosts' whispers, used his divine power to repel them, and headed towards the palace of the ghosts and gods.

Before long, a series of black palaces appeared not far ahead, standing majestically.

Jiang Ye released his divine power and walked to the palace, intending to sense the location of Yama, the King of the Underworld.

Whoops!

Suddenly, a strong gust of cold wind blew in, and countless paper ghost soldiers flew from all around the palace, stopping three meters in front of Jiang Ye.

They stopped there, staring intently into Jiang Ye's eyes.

That pale, paper-like face gradually contorted, as if trying to change Jiang Ye's appearance.

Available in the next second.

Snapped!

One by one, the paper ghost soldiers surrounding Jiang Ye exploded, turning into pieces of paper that scattered on the ground.

Transforming into the appearance of the supreme god resulted in annihilation.

Before long, thousands of paper ghost soldiers exploded, scattering colorful pieces of paper all over the ground, adding an eerie touch to this ghost town.

Jiang Ye smiled and gradually rose until he could overlook the entire Fengdu before stopping.

The laws of Fengdu have been hindering my perception, but in such a small place, the laws are not yet complete.

The impact was negligible, and the effects were easily felt throughout the entire Fengdu region.

Before long, Jiang Ye's senses locked onto the pitch-black dome, and within that darkness, it seemed as if a pair of eyes were peering into everything in Fengdu.

Jiang Ye stared coldly at those bright red eyes.

"get out!"

His voice was like a booming bell, resounding throughout the entire Fengdu.

The very next second after those words were spoken, a strange, bright red ripple suddenly appeared on the dark sky.

An extremely cold aura suddenly descended upon Fengdu, causing all the ghosts within the city to tremble involuntarily.

Beneath the ripples, a black hand suddenly reached out, followed by an arm, a torso, a head...

A god, entirely in black and bare-chested, appeared.

"Mortal, how did you discover me?"

Yama, the Hindu god of the underworld, with his enormous body exposed, hovered in front of Jiang Ye, questioning him in a chilling tone.

In fact, he had just discovered Jiang Ye and also sensed the divine power emanating from him.

However, in his view, Jiang Ye could not be a god; it was merely a power bestowed upon him by the gods.

Jiang Ye looked calmly at the giant before him. "This is the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty. You... have crossed the line!"

"Hehehe!" Yama, the King of the Underworld, laughed through his divine senses. "Ignorant mortals, if you offer your piety and worship me, you will be in vain."

"I can spare your life, but now, I... grant you death!"

Yama sat cross-legged in mid-air, his hands forming a mudra in front of his chest, and crimson ripples surged around him.

A hideous, blood-red demon face, with its gaping black mouth, descended from the sky, heading straight for Jiang Ye's face.

Jiang Ye's face was icy cold, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"A projection, granting me death? Interesting!"

The boy slowly extended his right hand, and endless death energy around him condensed into a form. In an instant, the [Death God's Judgment] enveloped Yama's massive body.

A terrifying divine aura emanated from the boy and swept around him.

Yama sensed the divine aura emanating from this being, which was even more terrifying than his own, and his pupils suddenly contracted. "You...you are a god..."

The young man's face was cold and stern as he slowly spoke: "You outer gods, coveting the possessions of Great Xia..."

Clang! Slash!
