Arc 13: Wild Beast Plains | Chapter 238: Wrapping Up

Translator: Lynn

These three princes are accompanied by several Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Under their command, they a.s.sert their dominance on the battlefield, beating back the opposition.

Notably, the most outstanding among them is Xuan Yuan, the thirty-first prince, currently in the late stage of the Golden Core stage cultivation. With his formidable martial arts and potent energy, he engages in a life-and-death struggle with a five-horned beast. This daring leap in combat is unmatched in bravery, showcasing a majestic posture and a domineering presence that captivates countless onlookers.

As Xuan Ze took part in the battle, Xu Ziqing and Yun Lie, accompanied by Xi Lin and other Golden Core stage cultivators, ascended the city wall to observe the ongoing conflict. Yin Chenghao, a counselor under Xuan Ze’s command, operated a “telescopic mirror” to provide a distant view of the battle.

Amidst the tumult of wild beasts and soldiers, a few towering figures stood in the air, exuding a majestic and imposing aura. They were the Nascent Soul cultivators, suppressing all directions with an invincible presence.

Observing the power of these Nascent Soul cultivators, Xu Ziqing couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. The true might of these Nascent Soul cultivators was something he hadn’t fully appreciated from a distance; the battlefield revealed a stark contrast.

His attention s.h.i.+fted to a nine-foot-tall youth, clad in silver, positioned half a step behind the Nascent Soul Patriarchs. Recognizing him as Xuan Ze and the one on the right as Xuan Yuan, Xu Ziqing immediately identified the nine-foot-long young man as Xuan Yuan, the Overlord.

Recalling the moment when Yun Lie ascended to the Tianlong list, Xu Ziqing remembered the four formidable individuals ranking above him. Among them, the one standing first left a lasting impression.

Seeing Xuan Yuan in person now, Xu Ziqing understood the aptness of his t.i.tle, the “Overlord.” Possessing the royal bloodline and the dragon spirit within, Xuan Yuan exuded overwhelming power and formidable combat prowess. Xu Ziqing witnessed him single-handedly restraining a five-horned beast comparable to a Nascent Soul, delivering powerful punches that prevented the release of blood poison, leaving onlookers stunned.

In a sudden turn of events, the five-horned beasts, cornered and desperate, roared pa.s.sionately and rushed to a specific location, their backs pressed against each other.

Wide-eyed, Xu Ziqing exclaimed, “What is this?”

Yun Lie, too, observed the scene and remarked, “Things have changed.”

Speculation arose among the observers that the situation had taken an unexpected turn.

As the wild beasts approached, releasing countless blood poisons, the Nascent Soul cultivator was forced to retreat. In response, the five-horned beasts rushed towards a singular location and, after a golden light pa.s.sed, merged into one colossal beast.

This giant beast, several feet tall, possessed iron-like hooves, a whip-like tail, and an immensely thick single horn atop its head. The merged ent.i.ty had three heads, all red, presenting a ferocious and terrifying appearance. One of the heads opened its mouth, and a long tongue shot out, instantly piercing the shoulder blade of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The Nascent Soul patriarch screamed in agony and hastily consumed a pill. However, the black and green discoloration around the pierced shoulder blade was unmistakable, revealing the potent toxicity of the tongue. This tongue surpa.s.sed ordinary magical weapons in sharpness and bore a poisonous barb capable of overwhelming even a Yuanying Patriarch.

Many Nascent Soul cultivators immediately fought fiercely with the three giant beasts. Despite their immense size, the monsters displayed remarkable agility, several times stronger than before. Contrary to expectations, their single horns did not release spirit-killing blood poison but instead swept horizontally, acting as deadly poisonous weapons.

Adding to the surprise, one of the beasts unexpectedly landed on all fours and ascended into the sky. This unconventional move stunned onlookers, considering that plain-dwelling wild beasts could not fly, and those cultivators who could levitate only attacked using blood poison from their horns.

Now, the fused form of the five-horned beast not only increased its strength significantly but also defied its initial limitations, soaring into the sky. The three monsters moved gracefully, swiftly targeting Nascent Souls, resulting in the immediate demise of two of them.

Reacting promptly, the Nascent Souls prevented further success by the evil beasts. Witnessing the ferocity of the battle, Xuan Ze and Xuan Li tactically retreated under the protection of the Nascent Souls, choosing not to re-enter the fray. In contrast, Xuan Yuan faced the challenges head-on, bravely battling the combined beast alongside other Nascent Soul cultivators.

While Nascent Soul cultivators initially did not take precautions against Xuan Yuan, the unexpected attack caught them off guard. However, they quickly adapted, ensuring the combined beasts did not gain an easy advantage. The ensuing battle unfolded in a dark and thrilling manner, with both sides employing cunning tactics that captivated future generations who witnessed it.

Observing Xuan Yuan’s commanding presence from a distance, Xu Ziqing felt a surge of awe. Turning his attention to Yun Lie, he noticed a cold gleam in his eyes, revealing a latent sword intent that seemed awakened by the intense aura. Xu Ziqing refrained from asking further questions, convinced that, despite Xuan Yuan’s prowess, his senior brother possessed unmatched potential. In a true life-and-death struggle, he remained confident that his senior brother would emerge victorious.

Meanwhile, the battle in the arena intensified as the evil beasts deployed a deceptive tactic. Using one of the monsters to entangle many experienced adversaries, the remaining two collided once more and fused into a single, colossal ent.i.ty. The resulting creature grew exponentially, resembling a mountain in size.

The monster sounded resounding, prompting wild beasts to echo the cry. The overwhelming momentum shook the world momentarily. Amidst the roar, the military souls on the heads of numerous cultivators collapsed, their courage seemingly drained, causing a gradual downturn in morale.

Soon, the balance s.h.i.+fted in favor of the wild beasts, their strength overshadowing the weakened human race. The monstrous ent.i.ty, formed by the combination of two evil beasts, possessed unprecedented power. The unintentional aura it exuded shocked even Nascent Soul cultivators, forcing them to retreat, with some suffering internal injuries and spitting blood as a consequence.

Clearly, if they remained, this monstrous ent.i.ty would undoubtedly claim all their lives.

Yet, those who had reached the Nascent Soul realm had undergone countless trials and tribulations. Unwilling to sacrifice their lives needlessly, they promptly recognized their inability to confront the ancient monster and sought a swift escape.

As the Nascent Soul cultivators proved no match for the elder monster, the morale of human soldiers plummeted. Increasing numbers fell victim to the wild beasts, and the gruesome sounds of creatures feasting on corpses echoed, creating a scene reminiscent of the horrors of the Eighteen h.e.l.ls.

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the city.

The man’s voice thundered like spring, vehemently exclaiming, “How dare you, vile beast!”

Instantly, a golden light surged forth, transforming into a golden river that reached the monster in a blink.

Perplexed, Xu Ziqing asked, “Who is this person?”

Yun Lie’s gaze remained razor-sharp as he replied, “The General of Zhenguo.”

In astonishment, Xu Ziqing exclaimed, “Mahayana stage cultivator!”

True to expectation, the newcomer streaked across the sky like a shooting star, swiftly reaching the battlefield. The force of his momentum shattered the telescope, rendering it incapable of capturing the ensuing battle.

This Mahayana cultivator, experienced on the frontier, demonstrated unparalleled strength among his peers. Although Xu Ziqing had encountered Mahayana cultivators before, their battles remained obscured, as watching could lead to dire consequences. Now, the cultivator, having been immersed in the general’s mansion, unleashed his full power in response to the crisis.

Regrettably, the telescope lay in ruins, and the battle between General Zhen Guo and the monster unfolded beyond visual reach. Eventually, the old monster, Nascent Soul cultivator, and the three princes returned. Xuan Yuan, displaying his independent spirit, departed with only a few followers. Others left without uttering a word, while Xuan Ze, though slightly pale, approached calmly.

The conclusion unfolded with General Zhen Guo successfully defeating the combined beasts. After a thorough investigation, the army discovered that the beast tide had been antic.i.p.ated, thanks to the combined supernatural power of the five-horned beast.

While the number of Nascent Soul cultivators among humans surpa.s.sed that of the five-horned wild beasts, the damage incurred in the battle was substantial for both sides. Following the conflict, Xu Ziqing and the others refrained from overseeing the inventory of the battle situation and funeral affairs.

After a brief respite, Xuan Ze prepared to return to the Dayan Empire. Given Xu Ziqing and Yun Lie’s agreement to the deal, it was only natural for them to accompany him on the journey.
