Chapter 138: The Third King-Level Ferocious Beast (Please Subscribe)

In the blink of an eye.

Half an hour passed.

High above in the distant sky, a pillar of blood-colored light suddenly shot into the heavens, merging into the dense blood clouds and instantly causing the entire expanse of clouds to emit an extreme, blood-red spiritual radiance.

An aura of ultimate evil erupted!

A monstrous, blood-colored baleful aura surged into the sky.

Enveloping the entire blood cloud, it resembled a blood-colored nebula as it slammed violently into the protective array of the Heitie Chengbao.

Boom—!

The blood cloud devoured with all its might!

Finally, after a brief moment, the purple light barrier could no longer hold; it shuddered violently and collapsed with a roar, and the entire blood cloud vanished without a trace the instant the protective array crumbled.

"Roar!"

In the depths of the far-off endless wilderness.

A heaven-shaking beast roar rang out.

The earth shook and the mountains swayed!

Endless ferocious beasts, like surging waves, rushed toward the Heitie Chengbao to devour and submerge it.

At the same time!

With a "creak"!

The massive iron gates of the Heitie Chengbao opened, and ranks of the human army marched out.

The protective array had been broken!

If the human army wanted to stop the ferocious beasts, they had no choice but to form ranks and resist with all their might; hiding in the Heitie Chengbao would only lead to being besieged to death, serving no purpose at all.

Therefore, this time!

The human army deployed with full force!

At the head of the army, Uncle Miao, the four ancestors of the Zhang and Xu families, and the three commanders from the military took the lead, with all the Martial Monarch and Martial Spirit experts following closely behind them.

The strong in the sky!

The weak on the ground!

Protecting and attacking for one another, with no distinction between you and me.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Close-quarters combat!

The human army and the ferocious beasts collided violently.

Roars, battle cries, and screams... like notes of an apocalypse, they resounded throughout the entire endless wilderness; slaughter abounded and blood splattered, causing the very heavens and earth to lose their luster.

In a mere instant!

The human army suffered thousands of casualties!

But everyone persisted; not a single expert retreated.

Atop the Heitie Chengbao.

Lu Li, the heads of the seven academies, and Zhao Xuanfeng did not act rashly; they stood upon the pitch-black ramparts, watching quietly.

According to their senses!

No reinforcements had joined the ferocious beast army!

And after the previous great battle, the ferocious beasts had lost most of their mid-to-high-level combat power, and coupled with the blood sacrifice ritual that had lasted for half an hour, their low-level combat power was also severely depleted.

Under these circumstances!

This human army guarding the Heitie Chengbao was sufficient to cope.

In fact, in terms of mid-to-high-level combat power, the human army even held the upper hand; they only needed Uncle Miao and the others to defeat the peak Martial Monarch-level ferocious beasts like the Fire-Fierce Tiger, and the beast army would collapse without being attacked.

The most important thing now!

Was to fully block the Baihu Wang and the Lingshi Wang!

If they could not stop those two King-level ferocious beasts, even if the battle below was won, it would be nothing but a reflection in a mirror or a moon in the water, shattering at a single touch.

"Why haven't those two beast kings appeared yet? Do they really want to watch their beast army be routed?" one of the seven academy heads asked.

"This is a head-on confrontation; it all depends on strength. What is the point of them hiding like this?" another asked, puzzled.

"Could it be that they are waiting for an opportunity?" a third person said in a deep voice.

"In the current situation, what kind of opportunity could there be?" another asked, uncomprehending.

"Regardless of what opportunity they want, I have decided to add more fuel to the fire."

Lu Li soared into the air.

Between his eyes, a flash of pitch-black fire appeared.

Throughout the endless wilderness, the corpses of powerful ferocious beasts broke through the soil one after another; they charged at top speed, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, rushing rapidly toward this battlefield.

In the last battle!

Although the ferocious beasts had found a way to counter this manipulation of the undead, and had made efforts to do so, the corpses of the ferocious beasts he had hidden were scattered all over the endless wilderness, and trying to find them was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Furthermore, the time was too short; even by trying their best, the ferocious beasts had only managed to find a few dozen.

The remaining nine thousand nine hundred-plus ferocious beast corpses were completely unscathed.

Their cultivation before death was all at or above the Martial Spirit level!

Their charging speed was extremely fast.

Not long after, they charged into the battlefield.

Boom—!

A pincer attack from front and back!

Under the reinforcement of this fresh force, even though the fierce beasts were prepared, they were forced into a continuous retreat.

And this was only because Lu Li, as a precaution, had not let those fierce beast corpses participate in the struggle of the Martial Monarchs; otherwise, if forced to, relying on these nearly ten thousand fierce beast corpses would have been enough to kill quite a few high-level combatants among the fierce beasts.

Although a Martial Monarch is strong!

Perhaps they have also mastered the method of destruction of the origin of the tiny pitch-black fire.

But even if they can destroy ten or a hundred strands at once, how could they destroy thousands or tens of thousands? By using these fierce beast corpses to surround and attack simultaneously, even if there were some losses, it was far from something that fierce beasts below the Martial King realm could withstand.

"Boom!"

The ruthless killing machine operated.

Gradually, those low-tier fierce beasts began to fall into chaos once again.

It was at this moment that a massive shadow emerged above that chaotic battlefield; the figure's aura was majestic, suppressing all directions, and the moment it appeared, it caused all those chaotic fierce beasts to calm down.

"It has finally appeared!"

Above the Heitie Chengbao.

Zhao Xuanfeng looked at that figure and flashed upward.

Boom—!

A terrifying battle of kings erupted instantly.

The shockwaves spread, sweeping across all directions and destroying everything within a radius of ten thousand zhang, causing both the fierce beasts and the human army to retreat rapidly.

……

"The Baihu Wang has appeared, so where is the Lingshi Wang hiding?"

Lu Li narrowed his eyes.

Fierce beasts are cruel and bloodthirsty, always fierce and tyrannical, fighting head-on; yet today, those two great beast kings were both hiding, refusing to show themselves unless forced—this was far too strange.

Lu Li could not rest easy without finding them.

He flew up.

He plunged into the endless wilderness.

In his mind.

The Thousand-Fold Talent was pushed to its limit.

His perception was controlled to the extreme, reaching into every corner of the endless battlefield.

But before he could continue his investigation, an extremely powerful aura appeared abruptly; that aura swept across all directions like a heavenly god descending, almost causing all the beasts to prostrate themselves in worship.

And at the very moment that aura appeared, a giant fire-red beast figure stepped through the air.

The Lingshi Wang had revealed itself!

Immediately following, a thunderous roar came.

"Brat, you cannot escape!"

Boom—!

From across the vast sky, a heaven-reaching beast claw struck down with peerless power.

"Heh, your opponent is not me!"

Lu Li's figure flashed.

He retreated with extreme speed.

Beneath that heaven-reaching beast claw, seven aged figures emerged; the seven formed an array, their origins rapidly merging to manifest a peerless great seal, blocking that terrifying claw.

Boom—!

The intense battle erupted once again.

Lu Li retreated outside the terrifying King-realm battlefield, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

Both great King-realm fierce beasts had appeared.

He could finally be at ease!

But the next moment, another peerless aura, surpassing the Martial Monarch and rivaling the Martial King, appeared outside the battlefield.

That aura moved from afar to near, arriving in an instant.

Suddenly!

A figure with a sharp beak and claws, golden all over, appeared.

That figure exuded an incomparably sinister aura, making one feel disgusted at the sight.

It was none other than the Gold-Devouring Rat King!
