Primordial Ancient Serpent-Chapter 401: Creatures Outside the Door — The Exterminator, The Brain Eater

"What?!"

There was a gleam in Gu Chuan's eyes. He could hear the veiled threat in The Eater's words. Although the Eater itself lacked the strength to break through the Gate of Eternal Life in the Chaos Universe, it had companions—and it was acquainted with many ancient existences.

If the Eater summoned those beings to the Chaos Universe and launched a joint assault, the situation might become far more troublesome than Gu Chuan had anticipated.

Still, he would never admit cowardice. He replied calmly,

"In that case, come. Let's see who wins and who loses. You will never break through the Chaos Universe."

"Foolish native," the Eater sneered, "You don't even understand how vast Chaos truly is. Even though it's the Chaos Universe, I haven't broken through it—yet. Summoning my companions might reduce the profits, but it's better than getting nothing at all. You will die soon. No one can save you."

The Eater glared at Gu Chuan like the god of death issuing a divine decree—one that foretold Gu Chuan's inevitable demise.

"Then I'll be here waiting," Gu Chuan replied, fearless and composed. Though he fell silent afterward, inwardly, he remained on full alert. He would not underestimate the threat of those who sought to invade the Chaos Universe.

At the same time, the Eater's expression darkened. Its eyes flickered with malice. It was almost certain that the Void Fisherman had interfered somehow, turning the native of this Chaos Universe into something different... something stronger.

After all, under normal circumstances, a mere native wouldn't have lasted a second under its assault.

Still, no matter what the Void Fisherman had done, the Eater would never give up its ambition to devour the Chaos Universe.

Thinking this through, it acted. In an instant, it reached out across the void, contacting an ancient and distant existence. A mysterious force pierced through the chaotic void and entered the depths of infinite time and space.

"Jie jie jie... Eater, you contacted me first? Are you in trouble? If it's serious, perhaps we shouldn't talk at all, hmm?"

A terrible voice responded, accompanied by a laugh filled with destructive power. The sound alone could shatter worlds and bring extinction to all life.

"The Exterminator, I need your help. I'm not in trouble. In fact, I'm offering you a new opportunity for gain," said the Eater coldly.

The Exterminator—an ancient and powerful being—was ranked among the Title Lords of the Universe, with strength rivaling the Eater's.

Wherever it went, death followed. Life withered. Universes fell into ruin.

Even within the Origin Continent, it was a name that inspired dread. Its destructive power was comparable to the most terrifying beast hordes.

"An opportunity for gain? That doesn't sound like you. What's in it for me? You're always the one who devours everything for yourself, never sharing any spoils. Why now?"

The Exterminator was deeply skeptical. It knew the Eater well—selfish, greedy, and merciless.

Unless... the Eater had encountered something it couldn't handle.

"I found a Chaos Universe. I thought I could devour it alone, but unexpectedly, a powerful native appeared. He not only became a Lord of the Universe—he even took over the Chaos Universe itself."

The Eater spoke without reservation.

"What?! A Chaos Universe?! How did you get so lucky?"

The Exterminator's tone turned greedy. But after hearing the rest, it quieted down.

"Ah... so that's how it is."

The Chaos Universe had produced a Lord of the Universe, and that native had successfully seized control of it. The Eater alone couldn't break through its defenses—so it was asking for help.

"I see. You're hoping we can break through the Chaos Universe together."

"Exactly," said the Eater gravely. "Now that the native has taken full control, the universe's defense has grown stronger. Even I can't breach it anymore. And the longer we wait, the more powerful he becomes—potentially surpassing even us."

"That lucky bastard," the Exterminator muttered. "To actually take over a Chaos Universe... what an unbelievable opportunity. If the other Lords of the Universe from the Origin Continent knew, they'd go mad with envy."

Such an event would guarantee advancement—perhaps even promotion to the Title Lord of the Universe—with no bottlenecks in sight. It was the kind of opportunity others dreamed of but rarely ever achieved.

And yet, here it was—real.

"Still, even with the two of us, I fear we might not be able to penetrate the Chaos Universe's defenses."

The Exterminator hesitated. A duo of Lords might still fall short of overcoming the universe's powerful restrictions.

"Don't worry. I've already considered that. Besides you, I've also invited a third—the Brain Eater," the Eater stated.

"What?! The Brain Eater? Are you insane?! You invited that lunatic?!"

The Exterminator's pupils contracted. Even it felt uneasy.

The Brain Eater was another ancient Title Lord of the Universe. Among the ancients, it was one of the most feared.

It specialized in soul and spirit manipulation—devouring its victims' brains, extracting their memories, supernatural powers, and knowledge for itself.

It had consumed countless lives. It was a living repository of cosmic wisdom and deadly power. No one knew how many techniques it had mastered.

Even other Lords of the Universe feared it, terrified of becoming its next meal.

None wanted to face it—unless absolutely necessary.

"Only by uniting the strength of all three of us can we breach the defenses of the Chaos Universe," said the Eater solemnly. "The Brain Eater's strange and formidable powers make it especially adept at piercing through a universe's protective layers. With its help, our chances of success will skyrocket."
