Chapter 474: Demonic Beasts King!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
After making sure there was no sign of danger around them, everyone heaved a sigh of relief, but they still didn’t let their guard down.
Nothing happened even when the lotus flowers were within 40-50 meters from them. Soon, everyone had reached the lotus pads close enough to touch them, and the seeds were within their reach.
“It’s really hard to imagine just how long it took for these lotuses to reach maturity! Looks like luck is really on our side!”
One person thanked luck for having reached at the same time that the flowers matured. ( Updated by BOX NOVEL.COM)
“The vitality and lifeforce contained in every single seed are incredibly abundant, and might even help extend our longevity and revitalize our bodies to its peak state!” a wizened old man with white hair all over his head exclaimed agitatedly.
Even though Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts were extremely strong and powerful, there was a peak state for Qi refining cultivators as well.
After that peak, it was inevitable for even Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts’ powers to weaken. As time passed, the power that they would be able to wield would grow weaker as well.
Given that nothing special happened, it would already be a good for a 300 year old Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert to still be able to use 70 percent of his original powers.
Body cultivators were slightly better off; a 300 years old Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert would still be capable of displaying nearly 90 percent of their srength!
Hence, how was it possible for Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts not to be excited to see these lotus seeds that were filled with vitality?
“Splish!”
Before anyone could pluck the seeds, countless sharp spear-like poles with sharp tops and wide ends suddenly shot up from the water!
“Not good!”
“What audacity!”
“A huge Demonic Beast is actually hidden below!”
Everyone reacted quickly as they attacked the water spears, causing them to break and release water vapor into the air.
They were not caught off guard even though it happened suddenly as they had prior preparations, and thus no deaths occurred. Only three were severely injured, with a few others slightly injured.
Looking at the bottom of the seaweed-filled pond, one could only make out a huge shadowy figure due to the waters dyed jade-green by the weeds; it was difficult to make out what the beast looked like.
“Let’s see which is stronger! You or my bow and arrow!”
A powerful expert harrumphed coldly, and not wanting to wait any longer, he drew out a bow made of bones and an arrow two metres long!
Red flames then covered the arrow as Zhenqi was inserted into it, causing it to blaze with terrifying heat!
Everyone retreated 10 meters and looked at the expert with shock and some fear. Such a high temperature was something that even many fellow Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts would not be able to withstand!
White bones as bow, flames as arrow!
The late stage Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert’s aura congealed and solidified, forming into a three zhang tall flame!
Ripples of air formed around him as though space had been distorted by his immense power, ready to give way.
“Executing Diety!”
Like a shooting star, the arrow was shot out with its tail blazing brightly.
It flew so fast that it looked more like laser than an arrow!
“Hou!”
A humongous head with a pair of jade green-eyes and four long fangs burst out of the water. The Demonic Beast was a creature which looked like a chimpanzee magnified tens to a hundred times!
Most Demonic Beasts did not exceed 300 metres in size but just the head size of this beast had already reached 100 metres.
The beast then stood up, sending tall waves crashing in all directions as a terrifying force swept outwards in all directions!
Not only were the lotus flowers unharmed by the waves, they seemed to have fused with them.
Everyone shrank back at the sight of the beast’s head, wondering how much bigger its body was.
Though size did not necessarily determine a Demonic Beast’s strength, it was still common for large Demonic Beasts to have more power.
The arrow kept growing bigger as it flew towards the Demonic Beast; 10 zhang, 100 zhang!
Only having passed 1000 metres did this two meter long arrow already become the size of a mountain peak!
As though wanting to cut through the sky, the arrow flew at such a great speed above the waters that it managed to divide the water and cut out a path.
“It won’t matter if you are stronger or even more powerful than a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert. There’s no escaping death when struck by this arrow!”
The old man was extremely confident in the strength of this arrow. This arrow already contained power equivalent to a half-step Transcendent expert. Furthermore, it would explode once it pierced into the beast’s body, dealing additional damage!
Still, the old man could not help feeling a tinge of uneasiness as he looked at the humongous beast before him. Still, he brushed the feeling off.
Knowing that this potent arrow was heading for the beast at a speed so fast it could not be dodged, everyone relaxed.
At this time, everyone’s minds returned to ploting for the lotus seeds. While they felt somewhat reluctant, seeing the strength of this old man, they knew that he would be able to get at least one-third of the seeds due to his powerful strength and his contribution in slaying the Demonic Beast.
Two of the experts regretted it internally, cursing themselves for not making a move like the old man. While they naturally had their own trump cards, they were not as swift to use them as the old man had been.
“Cling!”
“Are you scratching This King’s itch?”
A set of exquisite silver-chained armor took shape around the Demonic Beast’s body in an instant, producing powerful vibrations when the arrow struck. To everyone’s surprise, the potent-looking arrow did nothing except making a soft sound, looking like a silver candle on the armor.
The shiny silver armor, on the other hand, did not suffer the slightest damage. In an instant, the armor disappeared, and the Demonic Beast stood up.
So tall one could surpass a mountain’s peak, a person as a mountain!
This saying got the perfect embodiment here as the Demonic Beast stood at almost 1000 metres tall, while its body was entirely covered in jade green fur!
It looked at everyone with an intimidating look.
Beckoning with its hand, the more than 10 lotus flowers were directly lifted, root and all, as they flew towards the Demonic Beast, revealing multiple sections of crystal clear lotus roots.
“Crunch, crunch!”
Like a cow chewing grass, the Demonic Beast gobbled down the precious elixirs directly, and with a spin, it transformed into a two meter tall monkey before flying into the sky above!
In the east, a colorful three zhang long butterfly could be seen dancing around while tens of Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts lay lifeless below.
On the southern side, a human figure completely silver in color could be seen walking out of a cave deep within which was a group of Indian monks.
A tall willow tree could also be seen swaying in the wind, releasing a strange fragrance into the air while hundreds of dead bodies hung from its branches.
Elsewhere, on a lakeshore, a three meter large golden tortoise crawled slowly unscathed as it left the scene of a ghastly battlefield. Quite obviously, it’d crawled out while enduring countless attacks with its powerful defense!
Such sights were rare as most of the Demonic Beasts were the ones being killed by the humans most of the time. But there were also many Demonic Beast Kings that could turn the tables around, wiping out the humans!
At this moment, Bei Feng was staring at a pangolin before him with a frown on his face. This pangolin was only over 10 meters long, and its back was covered with silver-white scales which clanged noisily. The scales were incomparably sharp, and while the Demonic Beast was not large, its aura was incredibly frightening.
“A Void Gu realm Demonic Beast, how interesting. There’s no quarrel between us, and I don’t wish to make a move. Leave by yourself or die!”
The pangolin Demonic Beast’s aura had already far exceeded a Controlled Dan realm cultivator’s, reaching a completely different level. Bei Feng could also feel this realm of strength when he used the Mixed Yuan Body.
The pangolin looked deeply at Bei Feng in response. Following that, its body sank into the ground soundlessly like water.
Bei Feng’s group had only moved for a dozen meters when Bei Feng suddenly stopped and directly used his secret art! “Hmph, not knowing life from death. I let you go and you refused to leave? Then just stay here! Mixed Yuan Body!”
In the instant that he unleased his secret art, the ground beneath immediately rippled intensely and the silver-white pangolin burst out of it as it opened its mouth that was filled with sharp teeth. A long tail filled with scales was curled up behind its back like a python that’d come alive as it shot towards Bai Xiang and the rest!
This pangolin wanted to use the element of surprise, taking out everyone in one move!
“Battle Dragon Axe!”
Bei Feng’s expression did not even flicker when he saw the pangolin barrelling towards them. His aura burst uwpwards like boiling water, and a 10-meter-long green dragon reared its head and materialized behind his back!
The green dragon wrapped itself around Bei Feng’s right foot and greenish blue axe formed from one of the dragon’s claw appeared in one of his toes as it hacked towards the pangolin!
The appearance of the dragon beast instantly caused the pangolin’s body to shiver as a frightened look flashed past its eyes. Even if this dragon beast only had a thin trace of dragon bloodline, this was a natural oppressive aura that a higher lifeform imposed on those on the lower side of the food chain!
But the look of terror only lingered for a brief moment and instantly disappeared, replaced by a scarlet glow in its eyes. The scales on its back reared up, turning into a shield!
But Bei Feng’s strength was extremely shocking by itself, and the dragon was also a representation of strength. In addition, the unpredictable Form and Will Dragon Fist was gathered through the legs. The strength contained in this strike was incomparably terrifying, and the approach it took was to use strength to break all techniques!
The pangolin’s scales were undeniably quite hard to overcome as compared to other Demonic Beasts’ of the same level. Perhaps some of the lighter sharp weapons would not be able to deal too much damage against its scales if wielded by someone on the same level as it, but this time, the pangolin’s armor actually lost its advantage!
“Boom!”
“Kacha!”
A terrifying ripple rumbled from below Bei Feng’s right toe, and a huge pit over a 100 meters wide was formed where his foot struck!
Bei Feng gently tapped his feet and quickly retreated backwards. The little fox in his embrace was completely unaffected as all of the residue energy in the area was deflected by him.
