Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 135 - 134: Desert Sink_1

Half a day later, the strongest among them, Sha Mo Yuan, with injuries all over his body, returned to the Sand Abyss Sect. As soon as he set foot into the sect, he passed out due to excessive blood loss.

"Ancestor!"

The patrolling Disciples of the Sand Abyss Sect rushed to administer treatment upon finding him. They managed to save Sha Mo Yuan’s life using many precious items, but he remained unconscious due to the severity of his injuries.

During his unconsciousness, the Desert Sand Sea faced the worst disaster it had seen in five hundred thousand years.

The sand scorpions emerged from the gloomy underground back to the surface and began a frenzied massacre, annihilating villages, cities, and even entire forces. They were superb at hiding in the sand dunes, almost impossible to detect. By the time you were close enough to realize, they would burst forth from the sand, catch you off guard, and turn you into a corpse before you had a chance to react.

In the Mid Sand Realm, in front of a mountain gate steeped in a bloody aura, tens of thousands of sand scorpion soldiers gathered. Fresh blood dripped from their mouths, their eyes glinting with brutal light. Through slaughter, they transformed this sect, once home to hundreds of thousands, into a death mountain piled high with bones.

Beneath the sea of sand, only bones remained!

"Lads, after satisfying yourselves with food and drink, it’s time to get down to business!" Scorpion Thorn stood halfway up the mountain, stepping on a few bones, and spoke loudly.

"Yes, Sir!" tens of thousands of sand scorpion soldiers yelled in unison, dividing into twelve groups and flying towards the remaining realms.

Their aim was to free their clansmen in the other realms, overturning all the stone platforms and rescuing their trapped people.

...

"There’s some activity outside!"

"I smell our clansmen; we’re about to be free! Clan members, yell! Shout!"

In a sunless underground world, gloomy and damp, hundreds of thousands of sand scorpions gathered, looking up at the stone platform above in anticipation. Their heavy breathing echoed in the air!

After an anxious wait of about four hours, the crust above them began to tremble dramatically. Sand and dust fell, and a ray of white light broke through.

Light!

Sunlight!

"We are free, we are free!" The sand scorpions cheered, erupting into deafening shouts. They all exerted force simultaneously, using their pincers to push up the stone platform.

Instantly, the pressure on the rescuing sand scorpion soldiers eased considerably. Cooperating from both inside and out, they expended great effort to move the stone platform away.

Countless sand scorpions flew out, circling in the sky, joyfully embracing their newfound freedom and the beginning of a new life.

"Clansmen, there are traces of human scent in the air! Follow this General, slaughter the human race, stockpile blood food, and establish our own domain!" Soon enough, the brutal side of the sand scorpions became apparent. A golden sand scorpion General, wrapped in an aura of killing intent, gave the order.

The jubilant sand scorpions calmed, their eyes filled with murderous intent.

This scene was repeated in the remaining eleven realms!

Synchronously, all the rescued sand scorpions began to slaughter the humans in their respective realms, devouring flesh and blood to enhance their strength. For the alien races, human flesh and blood were the greatest of all treasures.

Throughout the continent, conflicts between the human race and alien races have permeated every stage of history.

"Prepare for battle, invaders are approaching!" In a human city, the defending general roared. In the distant sky, a black tide was approaching, exuding a violent aura that caused the heavens and earth to change color.

"What... What is that?" Only when the sand scorpions drew near did the defenders see the enemy clearly. Their faces turned pale, stricken with horror.

"Kill!" The sand scorpions roared, their huge bodies leaping into the air and landing on the city walls. With a swing of their pincers, they killed dozens of defenders, then opened their huge mouths and began to feast.

Witnessing their comrades’ bodies being devoured by sand scorpion soldiers, the remaining defenders felt a chill run down their spines, leaving them without the will to fight.

"Beasts!" There were brave men who tried to retrieve the bodies of their comrades, but they were killed before they could even get close.

More and more sand scorpions stormed into the city, destroying vast swathes of buildings. Women, children, the elderly—as long as they were human, they were all food to these creatures.

The city quickly fell, turning into a hell on earth!

All the people living in the city were devoured. After the sand scorpions left, it had completely turned into a ghost town.

...

COUGH. COUGH.

As the sand scorpions wreaked havoc across the desert, the unconscious Sha Mo Yuan finally woke up. Upon awaking, the first thing he did was look around. Only when he found no sand scorpions did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ancestor, you’re finally awake!" The Sect Master of the Sand Abyss Sect said frantically, "Ancestor, while you were unconscious, drastic changes swept through the desert! The outside is teeming with scorpions that feed on human flesh, wiping out entire villages and cities. Countless have died!"

Upon hearing this, Sha Mo Yuan showed a hint of fear and hastily asked, "Where have those scorpions reached?"

"Ancestor, of the thirteen realms, nine have already been captured by the alien races. Of the seventy-two forces, only twenty-six remain. Tragically, up to seven hundred million humans have perished!" the Sand Abyss Sect Master reported in terror, his legs shaking.

The thirteen realms, although geographically remote, with harsh conditions and sparse populations, were still home to over a billion people. But how much time had passed? Half of that billion had already died! Just thinking about it was enough to send chills down one’s spine.

"Run! Give the order for everyone to abandon the sect and escape immediately! We are no match for the alien races!" Sha Mo Yuan stood up, swallowed a handful of medicinal pills to regain some Spiritual Energy, and then quickly made his way out of the palace.

As he took to the sky, he saw countless dark spots appearing in the distant sky. His pupils constricted. Without hesitation, he fled at full speed. He knew the Sand Abyss Sect was finished!

"Ancestor..." Watching their Ancestor flee in panic, the Sect Master of the Sand Abyss Sect was stunned. Then, he felt an icy chill creeping through his entire body. The shadow of death loomed over him!

The next moment, blood splattered!

The screams before death reached Sha Mo Yuan’s ears, making him clench his fists. He wanted to turn back and save his Sect Disciples, but he was powerless. Gritting his teeth, he sped away.

"Catch him!" Behind him, two Semi-Saint Realm sand scorpions relentlessly pursued him, intermittently launching attacks that left him in a sorry state.

Flee! He kept fleeing!

Crossing the desert, he saw city after city turned to ruins; he saw countless bones exposed among the sand dunes. The entire desert had sunk into ruin!

After running for an unknown amount of time, he saw lush greenery appear at the boundary ahead. Further in the distance, a mighty fortress stood tall, dominating the landscape. Banners billowed from the ramparts! The character ’Qin’ on them gleamed brilliantly!

The Qin Empire is under the protection of Saints, I am saved! Sha Mo Yuan thought excitedly. His desire to live spurred him to quicken his pace.

"There’s a Saint’s aura in the air. Shall we continue chasing?"

"Let’s not. If a Saint discovers us, we’re done for! We should head back and report this to the General!"

The two Semi-Saint Realm sand scorpions debated, glanced reluctantly at Sha Mo Yuan, and then turned to leave.

Moments later, Sha Mo Yuan collapsed beneath the city walls, once again falling unconscious.
