Chapter 1101: Chapter 1100: Human Body, Rat Head—Ancient Alien Race?

”Do we really need to gather all three pieces of the Ancient Transmission Array to possibly comprehend its secrets and activate this formation?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but think to himself.

After researching for a long time, Ye Tianchen hadn’t made any progress. Whether he carefully examined the patterns on the Ancient Transmission Array fragments one by one or used his powerful Divine Thought to probe the interior of the fragments, he felt nothing unusual. Aside from sensing the simplicity and grandeur of the two Transmission Array fragments, there was no other flow of aura.

After pondering for about an hour, Ye Tianchen stored the two fragments of the Ancient Transmission Array within himself, still suppressing them deep inside the ”Holy Heaven Prison.” This was something he absolutely could not lose, so naturally, he needed to take good care of it. Ye Tianchen considered two possibilities: first, that his Cultivation Realm was insufficient, and his understanding of Martial Arts was not deep enough, preventing him from discerning the mysteries of the two Ancient Transmission Array fragments; second, that collecting all three fragments was necessary to thoroughly comprehend the secrets of the Transmission Array.

The Huangjin Xuanyuan of the Jin family fell for Ye Tianchen’s trick. After summoning back the Jin family’s Gold Cauldron, not only did it fail to gravely injure Ye Tianchen’s Divine, but it also resulted in the deaths of several disciples of the Jin family, causing a disturbance within the family. A few elders of the Jin family summoned him, with unknown matters at hand...

On the other side, in the Devouring Sky Village within the Heavenly Mountain Ancient Martial World, there was a roar of anger because of Ye Tianchen. This roar shook the heavens and earth of the Heavenly Ancient Martial World, emitted by a powerful being.

At this moment, within the Devouring Sky Village, a chair made of beast bones was occupied by an old man whose hair had grown to his waist, holding a long beast bone covered with various runes. His facial flesh seemed old enough to fall off, so aged that one couldn’t tell his age. His eyes emitted an eerie light, gazing at several strong men below.

”Clan Leader, the Star Body child has fled and betrayed our Devouring Sky Village.”

”Your younger brother also died at his hands.”

”Desolate Stone Village outright disobeys our orders, and it seems there are a few powerful Martial Artists protecting Desolate Stone Village, giving them the audacity to defy us.”

”I heard that among the people protecting Desolate Stone Village is someone named Ye Tianchen...”

Upon hearing the name ”Ye Tianchen,” a hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of the old man sitting on the beast bone chair. He couldn’t help but say, ”Ye Tianchen? The young man who recently gained quite a reputation in the Ancient Martial World?”

”It should be him!”

”Hmph, if that’s the case, our Devouring Sky Village is in need of people. Send someone to tell that Ye Tianchen that if he’s willing to serve our Devouring Sky Village, he can live; otherwise, he will die,” the old patriarch of Devouring Sky Village said coldly.

”Yes, Clan Leader!” a strong man replied.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a chilling wind swept through the entire Devouring Sky Village, startling everyone. Among them were two strong men whose cultivation was not low, but they were caught up in the gust, screaming in agony.

Boom!

Boom!

The two strong men of Devouring Sky Village exploded, and a blood mist burst forth, quickly enveloped by the chilling wind. In less than a quarter of an hour, only two white skeletons fell from the wind. These two men, with considerable cultivation strength, met a tragic end with their flesh devoured clean.

”This...”

”Pay respects to the Black Rat God!”

Everyone present knelt down. Even the deeply powerful, exceptionally strong, and ancient old thing from Devouring Sky Village trembled, stood up from his beast bone seat, and respectfully asked, ”I wonder if the Black Rat God has any instructions from the master for coming here?”

As the old patriarch of Devouring Sky Village spoke, a figure descended from the chilling wind. It could be called a person or a beast, for it had a human body with a rat head. In the Martial Arts World, especially in today’s Earth’s Three Ancient Martial Worlds, such a human-bodied, rat-headed hybrid was rare. This being was likely not from the Demon Clan but possibly an Ancient Alien Race.

Everyone knows that the Ancient Alien Race is mysterious and powerful. They once ruled the entire Martial Arts World, suppressing both the Demon Clan and the Human Clan to the point of suffocation. However, the Ancient Alien Race gradually faded away in the transition from the Late Ancient Times to the Ancient Early Stage and disappeared. Why this happened remains unknown. If, as Ye Tianchen speculated, the Ancient Alien Race did not perish under the laws of the Martial Arts World, but instead, due to some reason or conspiracy, they retreated and have been watching everything in the Martial Arts World ever since, it would be terrifying. Now, creatures similar to the Ancient Alien Race have appeared in Earth’s Ancient Martial World. Does this foretell that the Ancient Alien Race is about to emerge, make a comeback, and oppress the Human Clan once again? Just the thought of it is terrifying.

”The master indeed sent me with orders for you, but before that, I have something to do...”

The humanoid rat-headed creature didn’t finish its sentence and merely cast a cold glance at the three brawny men from Devouring Sky Village who were still kneeling beside it. It extended its pitch-black claws, splitting them into three, reaching towards the three brawny men who were kneeling, scaring them so much that they trembled uncontrollably, not daring to show the slightest disrespect or resistance. This creature, known as the Black Rat God, grabbed at the heart position of the three brawny men, seemingly intending to rip their hearts out and eat them.

”Ah!”

”No!”

”Mercy, Black Rat God.”

The three brawny men, who were not weak in cultivation, were so terrified that they were practically scared out of their wits, not daring to have any defiance or resistance, and could only kowtow and beg for mercy. It seems that the strength of this Black Rat God is not very strong. The creature behind it is the truly formidable one, and no one in the entire Devouring Sky Village dared to defy the will of this powerful being.

”Black Rat God, these... these three people are among the stronger ones in Devouring Sky Village in terms of cultivation. Please, Black Rat God...” The old patriarch of Devouring Sky Village also tried to plead.

”Don’t worry, these people are useless. They can’t kill Ye Tianchen or deal with Desolate Stone Village. They’re better off as my food to at least have some value. Otherwise, they’re of no use at all!”

Thunk!

Thunk!

Thunk!

This humanoid rat-headed creature is cruel and cold-blooded. As soon as it finished speaking, it dug out the hearts of the three brawny men from Devouring Sky Village, drenched in blood, a ghastly sight, showing no emotion, and placed their still-beating hearts in its mouth to chew. The old patriarch of Devouring Sky Village was shocked, somewhat fearful. In terms of cultivation strength, the Black Rat God is not very powerful, otherwise, it would have fully transformed into a human form instead of still being in a humanoid rat-headed state. Perhaps, with the old patriarch’s strength, he could kill the Black Rat God, but he absolutely wouldn’t dare. First, he is equally ruthless and wants to collaborate with the being behind the Black Rat God. Second, the mysterious being behind the Black Rat God is too powerful. If it truly emerged, even the remaining powerful hidden amidst the last three Ancient Martial Worlds of Earth might not be its opponent.

After the Black Rat God ate the hearts of the three brawny men, it wiped away the bloodstains from the corners of its mouth, took one step at a time to the beast bone seat, and slowly sat down. Then, looking at the old patriarch of Devouring Sky Village standing below, he said, ”Devouring Sky Village has been somewhat ineffective lately, and the master is already a bit dissatisfied. I’m afraid...”

”Ah... this... I hope the Black Rat God can speak well on our behalf to the master. We are truly attentive and proactive in this matter, but we didn’t expect, didn’t expect that several powerful Martial Artists would appear in Desolate Stone Village, so...” The old patriarch of Devouring Sky Village didn’t finish before being interrupted by the so-called Black Rat God.

”Humph, didn’t expect it? The way your Devouring Sky Village handled things this time has displeased the master. If it weren’t for me putting in a good word for you, the master would have wiped out your Devouring Sky Village by now!” The Black Rat God snorted heavily and said.

”Thank you, Black Rat God, thank you, Black Rat God!” The old patriarch of Devouring Sky Village said humbly.

”No need for thanks. Get me a pair of virgins to eat for my cultivation. Human flesh is the best food for our Ancient Alien Race’s cultivation, which is why our race always preyed on humans during their early emergence,” the Black Rat God said coldly.

”Alright... okay, rest assured, Black Rat God...” The old patriarch of Devouring Sky Village quickly responded.

”I’m glad you understand. To be honest, with this incident, I’m afraid the master will be furious. I suggest you resolve the matter of Desolate Stone Village quickly. Not only have you failed to capture the villagers for the master to study their Bloodline Power, but you also let the child with the Star Body escape, making the master miss out on a powerful human flesh and blood supplement. Just these two counts alone are enough for your Devouring Sky Village to be wiped out!” The Black Rat God showed a very dissatisfied expression and said.

”Please tell the master, Black Rat God, not to worry. I will resolve the issue of Desolate Stone Village within three days. If these people do not comply, I will slaughter the entire Desolate Stone Village,” the old patriarch of Devouring Sky Village said fiercely.

”Glad you understand. Let me be frank. If you can’t handle this matter, it won’t be Desolate Stone Village that gets slaughtered, but your Devouring Sky Village!” The humanoid rat-headed creature said with a sinister glow in its eyes.
