Five thousand feet above the glowing golden lanterns of the Gu Family Trans-Continental Night Market, a three-mile-wide vortex of blood-red clouds, rotting corpse-gas, and screaming wraith-shadows blotted out the stars!
Standing at the center of the dark vortex were the three supreme overlords who had ruled the Western Demon Continent through terror for three thousand years. They were the Blood-Bone Emperor, the Rotten-Corpse Emperor, and the Shadow-Fiend Emperor, all at the Rank 6 Late Golden Core stage! Right beside them hovered a hollow-cheeked, smoking-haired Envoy Xue Sha, whose system clock showed less than four hours until his Night 3 soul-obliteration deadline!
“Look down there!” Envoy Xue Sha pointed a trembling, blistered finger at the ten-mile-long golden Night Market below, his bloodshot eyes bulging with madness. “Two hundred thousand White-Tiger and Sky-Fox warriors—plus ten thousand of their royal cubs in that central bouncy-castle daycare!
If we wipe out this Night Market tonight, my system will harvest three million XP in a single hour, and my -600,000 XP loan debt will be paid in full!”
“Foolish Tiger and Fox beasts! How dare you reject our Blood-Sea War Decree to put on aprons for a human chef?!”
The Blood-Bone Emperor stepped to the front of the cloud vortex and slammed his ten-foot ancestral bone scepter against the shields of the Rotten-Corpse Emperor and Shadow-Fiend Emperor!
