Animal-eared Girl Era: Start by Forming a Contract with an SSS-Class School Belle

Starry Battlefield, located in the transitional zone between star systems.

At this moment, the Milky Way Galaxy's front line was under a full-scale assault from the White Horse Star System.

The two Venerable Realm, third-stage perfected Divine Spirits of the White Horse Star System, led more than twenty Emperor Realm Divine Spirits, over a thousand Quasi-Emperor Realm Demon Beasts, more than ten thousand Saint Realms, countless Venerable Realms, launching an all-out attack on the Milky Way.

The Milky Way's frontline, in terms of high-level combat power, only had three Emperor Realm Divine Spirits, with the highest cultivation at second-stage Emperor Realm Perfection. The fierce beasts—humans in beastly form beneath the Emperor Realm—were nothing but cannon fodder to fill the battlefield.

Countless Emperor Realm Origin Divine Skills from the White Horse Star System bombarded the Milky Way's defensive lines.

In just a single clash, the Milky Way's defenses collapsed.

This was a one-sided massacre by the White Horse Star System.

The three Emperor Realm Divine Spirits of the Milky Way suffered heavy wounds, quickly losing their combat power.

The Destruction Divine Spirit, at the second-stage Emperor Realm Perfection, had her body shattered, but her will still stubbornly refused to fade.*

As she looked upon comrades lost—more than half now gone—a thick anxiety welled up in her heart.*

*She faintly felt that this invasion from the White Horse Star System was too bizarre, as if they already knew the situation of the Blue Star Divine Spirits, launching this wild incursion.*

"Fight to our last breath to defend the Milky Way! The defensive line may have fallen, but we have not!"

"Kill! Even if we die, we'll take someone down with us!"

"We must hold out until Her Majesty arrives!"

The fierce beasts of the Milky Way looked around at their countless fallen comrades, eyes turning red with rage.

But they did not retreat, still resisting the crushing pressure and fighting the Demonic Beasts of the White Horse Star System.

Another two minutes passed, and less than one-tenth of the Milky Way's fierce beasts remained alive.

Shattered heads, broken bones, drifting scarlet blood mist spread across the whole battlefield.

The Demon Beasts from the White Horse Star System grew only more valiant in battle, losing less than a tenth of their forces.

At the rear of the battlefield, the two Demon Lords of the White Horse Star System let out arrogant, wild laughter,

"Heh heh heh, just as the Five Elements Divine Spirit said, the will of the Blue Star Divine Spirits has been erased by more than half. They have no reinforcements left."

"Today, the White Horse Demon Realm is going to take the Milky Way in one fell swoop, and destroy Blue Star."

"Ancestral Empress, what can you do even if you show up? We've received the favor of the Cosmic Great Race! My beloved and I have both reached Emperor Realm Perfection."

"Both sides are Emperor Realm Perfection now, but it's two against one—the advantage is ours!"

A voice dripping with authority boomed from the mouth of the Demon Lord, echoing over the entire Starry Battlefield, "All Demon Army of the White Horse Demon Realm, hear my command, leave not a single fierce beast of the Milky Way alive—slaughter them all!"

"Kill!!!"

At the Demon Lord's command, the Demon Army erupted, their demonic aura surging to the heavens; an intimidating, hellish presence filled every corner of the Starry Battlefield.

The Demon Army unleashed all manner of Divine Skills, bombarding the last remaining fierce beasts of the Milky Way Galaxy.

The only two Divine Spirits left had their bodies shattered and erased in an instant.

The fierce beast comrades too were ripped to pieces.

At that moment, a tyrannical and violent spatial ripple swept out across the Starry Battlefield.

All fierce beasts, all demons, were instantly frozen in place, unable to move an inch.

A golden-yellow Empress, her body towering a million zhang high, suddenly appeared in the center of the battlefield.

Her gaze swept with unrivaled might, her expression as dark as the abyss.

"White Horse Demon Realm, you deserve death!"

Her words exploded in the ears of every demon in the Demon Army like a clap of thunder.

The Demon Army coughed blood, minds reeling from the impact.

The two Demon Lords' expressions shifted; with overwhelming fiendish force, they unleashed their power, dissipating the Spatial Imprisonment.

The two Demon Lords' immense demon bodies loomed to either side of the Ancestral Empress, sneering,

"Ancestral Empress, your opponent is us!"

"Today, we'll bury you in the river of stars!"

The Ancestral Empress's expression remained grave, saying, "This is no place to fight. If you want a battle, follow me."

The two Demon Lords sneered.

Over half of the Milky Way Divine Spirits had already been wiped out,

With two against one, they could surround and kill the Ancestral Empress as well.

This war, the White Horse Star System was certain to win.*

The three Emperor Realm Perfection Divine Spirits soared off toward the void of deep space.

The Ancestral Empress sent a voice transmission, "Human Emperor, I'm leaving this front to you. Do not let us down."

Xiao Ye nodded.

The panic that swept the Demon Army vanished in an instant; they regained the ability to move and once again surged after the shattered Fierce Beast Army.

The grievously wounded, gasping fierce beasts of the Milky Way fell into confusion,*

*Where was the Divine Spirit's support?*

*The Ancestral Empress just left them to die?*

*Panic spread through the hearts of the fierce beasts of the Milky Way.*

The Demon Army laughed wild and unchecked, their arrogance pouring forth.

No chance for the Milky Way's Fierce Beast Army to catch their breath,

The Demon Army attacked in force; a deluge of Divine Skills and Innate Skills descended in an instant.

"We're doomed, the Milky Way is finished."

"Our Blue Star will be corrupted by demons and become a living hell."

"It's been so long since I've returned to Blue Star, I always thought I'd have a chance to visit again. Now, looks like there won't be any more chances."

The last remnants of the Fierce Beast Army of the Milky Way saw all hope die in their eyes, the future a canvas of darkness.

All their hearts were filled with desolation and grief.*

At that moment, a calm and confident male voice rang in the ears of the Fierce Beast Army.

"Who said the Milky Way is finished? It's the White Horse Star System that's done for."

"Step back for now. I'll handle this million-strong Demon Army myself."

"One against five million—the advantage is mine!"

Xiao Ye's upright figure appeared before the onrushing, sky-blocking waves of demonic Divine Skills, guarding all of the Fierce Beast Army.

Though his figure was small—merely six feet tall—compared to their bodies, stretching ten thousand meters, he seemed insignificant.

Yet that broad back of his looked as if it could bear the weight of everything.

He stood tall enough to pierce the heavens!

"Is that a strange Divine Spirit?"

"Holy crap, that's a Blue Star uniform—he's the new Divine Spirit from Blue Star!"

"Senior, one man stopping five million demons, I kneel to you!"

"Dear senior—go with honor! We'll join you soon, so you won't be alone down below."

"Lord, I haven't met you, but at this moment—you're truly the most heroic man alive."

Behind him, the ten-thousand-strong Fierce Beast Army, all beneath the Emperor Realm, gazed at him with heartfelt respect.

Xiao Ye's action inspired solemn reverence in them all.

The three Divine Spirit wills on the Starry Battlefield watched with complicated emotions.*

Handsome—truly, incredibly handsome.*

But—

*This newly ascended Human Emperor Realm shouldn't be throwing his life away!*

*A Divine Spirit can rise again if slain, but the death of a Human Emperor Realm is forever!*

*No matter how much hot blood boils in the heart, this isn't how to spend it.*

The five million-strong Demon Army burst into crazed laughter, jeering,

"Hahaha, is this guy insane?"

"Emperor Realm? What could a newly ascended Emperor Realm possibly do against our twenty Emperor Realm Demon Beasts and five million demon soldiers?"

"He's cannon fodder coming to die—does he really think breaking through to Emperor Realm makes him invincible?"

"Ignorant clown!"

They laughed without restraint, eager to see how miserable the death of this Human Emperor Realm would be.

Faced with the overwhelming flood of Divine Skills, they expected even his ashes to be erased.*

Confronted by the oncoming storm of Divine Skills, Xiao Ye's face remained calm as still water, as if facing the collapse of Mount Tai without flinching.*

He waved his hand, and the colossal, pitch-black and golden Bronze Hall appeared before him out of thin air.
