Chapter 703: Venerable-class Beast!
Chapter 703: Venerable-class Beast!
"Roar!"
The six-headed giant elephant beasts were besieged by the gods of the Fengxing Association. For a moment, their roars filled the air as they tried to unite, preventing the Fengxing Association from breaking through. However, they faced a tenacious counterattack from the gods.
Chen Mu, with his formidable power, suppressed four of the giant elephant beasts, rendering them completely immobile and unable to join the other two. Meanwhile, the other two giant elephants were each restrained by Fengxing Shenjun and Guanglie Shenjun, who, with the help of numerous gods from the Fengxing Association, maintained a tight hold.
Finally,
The six giant elephants realized the dire situation and understood that the number of gods in the hunting squad was overwhelming, making it impossible for them to resist even as a united group. They began to roar, attempting to retreat towards the Null River.
But it was too late to escape now. The Fengxing Association, having the upper hand, would not let the six giant elephants get away. After all, eliminating them one by one would yield a significant reward.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
The riverbank echoed with booming sounds, and the massive battle caused ripples in the nearby Null River, creating waves that crashed against the shores.
After an unknown period of relentless attacks by the Fengxing Association, one of the giant elephant beasts finally let out a mournful cry. Its body, covered in wounds, suddenly went limp, and its vitality rapidly declined.
"Good!"
"We got it!"
Upon seeing this, Fengxing Shenjun and the surrounding gods besieging the beasts all showed excitement.
With such luck on this trip, they could return after solving the six giant elephant beasts in one go. Alternatively, they could try to hunt a few more, but they were already close to achieving the basic goal of this hunt.
Especially for the senior members of the Fengxing Association, they were delighted. Since Chen Mu's rise, their hunts had become increasingly successful. Although Chen Mu took a significant portion, the increased number of hunts meant that they still received more than before.
They were naturally pleased with this arrangement, as a stable hunt and harvest were all they desired.
In Wuxiang City, strength was paramount. They couldn't expect to obtain vast resources in a single hunt at the Single Pulse Perfection stage. Stability was the best option, and once they advanced to the Dual Pulse Perfection stage, they could seek more gains and resources, aiming for higher cultivation efficiency.
"Kill!"
After slaying one giant elephant, Fengxing Shenjun immediately led the gods to attack the one restrained by Guanglie Shenjun. Dozens of gods joined forces, launching a frenzied assault.
This giant elephant also possessed some intelligence and realized it was in a desperate situation, emitting a muffled wail.
At the same time,
The four giant elephant beasts suppressed by Chen Mu struggled fiercely, emitting mournful cries. A sorrowful aura spread, seemingly imbued with a unique sense of sadness that caused the surrounding besieging gods to momentarily ease their attacks.
Chen Mu maintained his suppressing force, sensing the strange sorrowful aura. However, he quickly regained his composure, his eyes unwavering.
The law of the jungle prevailed in this world.
Perhaps these beasts, living along the Null River, had their tribes and possessed their own intelligence and emotions. But the gods who came needed their corpses, their flesh, and their remains to obtain Source Stones and resources, just as the mortal human beings needed to hunt beasts for food.
Fengxing Shenjun and the others were affected by the strange emotional power, briefly slowing their attacks. But as Nine Heavens Deus, they quickly recovered and continued their relentless assault without mercy.
"Roar!"
The second giant elephant beast wailed, its vitality rapidly fading until it eventually fell to the ground, lifeless.
Having dealt with two giant elephants, the Fengxing Association members completely relaxed. The remaining four had no chance of escape, and it was only a matter of time before they were eliminated, and it would likely get faster.
However,
Just as everyone shifted their focus towards the four giant elephant beasts restrained by Chen Mu,
An unexpected event occurred.
"Roar!!!"
Accompanied by an angry roar,
The surface of the distant Null River suddenly exploded, revealing a beast even larger than the six giant elephant beasts besieged by the Fengxing Association. It stood in the center of the river, letting out a deafening roar.
With a single roar, the entire Null River surged, erupting into a spray of water, as a vast and mighty power swept towards the members of the Fengxing Association.
"Ahh!"
The closest Divine Lord let out a miserable scream. Before he could even summon his divine power for defense, his entire body exploded into a cloud of blood, and in an instant, his divine energy was completely eradicated.
The other numerous Divine Lords also paled in shock, but they too were unable to react in time. The overwhelming and terrifying might engulfed them, and one by one, their bodies exploded.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
In just a moment, dozens of Nine Heavens Perfection Divine Lords from the Fengxing Association were blown to bits, their divine powers completely annihilated, and they perished on the spot.
"Venerable-class..."
Fengxing Shenjun's face also turned pale with horror. He exerted all his strength, unleashing the power of both the Creation and Void Great Paths, attempting to resist the surging might and the rippling wave that shook the heavens and earth, but it was to no avail.
Just as he uttered the word 'Venerable-class', his body also exploded, shattering and disintegrating into a cloud of blood. The blood mist wriggled, trying to reassemble, but it completely dissipated in the blink of an eye.
"No."
Imperator Guanglie's eyes flashed with unwillingness.
He struggled with all his might, even trying to escape to a distant place at the first opportunity. But before he could flee a few zhang, the overwhelming wave that swept across the land engulfed him, crushing his body into pieces, leaving no remains.
A Venerable-class beast!
For all the Divine Lords in Wuxiang City, and even in the entire Yuanjing, this was almost the greatest danger they could encounter. Once they faced a Venerable-class beast, regardless of which faction they belonged to, there was only one outcome—total annihilation!
It was impossible to resist, and they didn't even have a chance to escape. Although these Venerable-class beasts might not reach the level of true Great Path Venerables, their power far surpassed that of Divine Lords, and the gap between them was like heaven and earth.
The giant elephant beast that emerged from the Null River was undoubtedly a Venerable-class beast.
Since its establishment, the Fengxing Association had been hunting in Wuxiang City for many years, enduring numerous hardships and witnessing Chen Mu's rise. They had gradually prospered, but fate had other plans. Just as the Fengxing Association was thriving, they encountered the greatest danger and disaster in Yuanjing. In just an instant, the entire association was almost completely wiped out.
However,
For Fengxing Shenjun and the others, encountering a Venerable-class beast was indeed a devastating disaster, but it was still slightly better than falling into the Null River.
After all, Venerable-class beasts were not true Great Path Venerables. They were also subject to some restrictions within Yuanjing. Although their unleashed power could instantly annihilate everyone, it would not spread beyond their bodies, destroying all their clones and incarnations outside the realm.
The only loss they suffered was the destruction of their true bodies in Wuxiang City.
Even so, for many, this was an extremely painful loss. They had lost all the wealth they had accumulated in Wuxiang City, and the next time they entered Yuanjing, they might not be able to enter the Wuxiang City region again. Instead, they might end up in an unfamiliar area and have to start from scratch to secure their survival.
"A Venerable-class beast..."
At this moment, Chen Mu also faced a devastating calamity.
Just before the giant elephant beast surfaced, he had sensed something amiss and retreated as quickly as possible. He spared no effort in his escape, managing to flee hundreds of zhang in an instant.
However, this distance of hundreds of zhang was insignificant to a Venerable-class beast. Their supreme might could shatter the fundamental rules of Yuanjing. As a Three Lineages Great Perfection expert, Chen Mu could easily destroy a void domain with a single move and crush billions of li with his divine might in the outer universe. But in Wuxiang City, he could only destroy a hundred zhang of void at most.
The supreme might of Venerable-class beasts could break the rules of Yuanjing and tear it apart to some extent. Their attacks could reach the heavenly and earthly might they possessed in the outer universe, affecting a vast area of hundreds of millions of li.
In such a situation,
The Three Lineages Great Perfection realm and strength were extremely insignificant.
In just an instant, Chen Mu felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His Void Avatar was shattering and disintegrating, and his entire body was torn apart in a flash. His will was also suppressed by a mighty heavenly might.
"Venerable-class... This is the power of a Venerable-class beast..."
Chen Mu's consciousness was shattering, but deep within his will, a tenacious and unyielding belief emerged.
(End of Chapter)
The Great Dao of the Overlord, he had long since glimpsed its secrets!
The three Prime Source Great Daos, he had already achieved Nine Heaven Perfection in all of them!
He had even received the recognition and blessing of the Prime Source Great Dao, possessing a perfect divine body!
The Venerable-class beast, though called as such, according to rumors, they still couldn't compare to a true Great Dao Overlord.
Chen Mu didn't dare to hope that he could defeat a Venerable-class beast, nor did he dare to hope that he could resist the might of this Venerable-class beast. He only wanted to endure for even an instant under the attack of this beast.
Because, the overwhelming power unleashed by the Venerable-class beast was equivalent to witnessing the might of an Overlord with his own eyes!
The longer he could endure, the more he could witness, the more experience he would gain towards the path of the Great Dao Overlord. On his system panel, the one billion experience points required to control the Void Dao was now only a hair's breadth away!
"The Great Dao is indestructible! My will is indestructible! My heart is indestructible!"
At this moment, Chen Mu's will erupted wildly, frantically seizing the power of the three Prime Source Great Daos, combining it with the essence of his perfect divine body, and continuously unleashing the ultimate power of the Three Lineages' Great Perfection.
On the banks of the Null River, his body visibly exploded, but instead of turning into a cloud of blood mist like Fengxing Shenjun and the others, it shattered into a blurry mass of flesh and blood, which continued to wriggle and attempt to reassemble.
In the center of the Null River.
The Venerable-class giant elephant beast that emerged from the river's surface stared coldly with its enormous eyes towards Chen Mu's direction, seemingly surprised by Chen Mu's tenacity. But immediately, it sprayed a white mist from its trunk and let out a cold hum.
Boom!!!
An even more majestic power burst forth, exploding on the riverbank.
This power instantly spread over a billion miles, covering not only the entire riverbank but also spreading in all directions.
At this moment, all the hunting teams in the eastern part of the Null River, including a hunting team from the Era Palace and more than ten teams from various factions in Wuxiang City, were all struck as if by lightning.
Whether they were hunting or exploring, they all froze in their tracks, and their bodies exploded one after another into a cloud of blood mist, including a Three Lineages Perfection expert who had no resistance and whose body was directly destroyed!
Buzz!
This surging might spread directly to the eastern wall of Wuxiang City!
The towering hundred-zhang-high wall, under this terrifying impact, instantly glowed with a thick light, and a deep hum seemed to come from the deepest part of Wuxiang City. Countless deep-colored light screens shot up into the sky, reaching the clouds, covering the entire Wuxiang City and colliding with the overwhelming power of the Venerable-class beast that spanned the heavens.
"What's going on?"
"This is..."
"A Venerable-class beast?!"
Within Wuxiang City, the natives who were born here only trembled slightly, seemingly unaware, and continued with their own affairs. However, the Divine Lord existences from the outside world all looked up in shock, gazing towards the east of the city, their faces filled with astonishment.
Some Divine Lord existences were horrified, for even though the overwhelming power was blocked by Wuxiang City, they could still feel the supreme might that reached the heavens and the earth within the city. It was a power that broke through the limits of a Divine Lord, the supreme might of a Venerable-class.
There were also some ancient Divine Lords who had come to Wuxiang City a very long time ago and had stayed there for an extremely long time. They were surprised but not overly shocked, as Venerable-class beasts had appeared in the Wuxiang City region during the long years.
"Another Venerable-class beast has appeared. Fortunately, I didn't go to the east for hunting this time."
"I'm afraid the hunting teams in the east have all been wiped out."
"What a disaster."
Some ancient Divine Lords shook their heads and sighed.
Venerable-class beasts were too terrifying, akin to a natural disaster. Once they appeared, they would not only destroy a single hunting team but an entire region.
In the past, the Hunyuan Void Seat had the most significant influence in Wuxiang City, but later, they encountered a Venerable-class beast, leading to the demise of two Three Lineages Perfection experts and a large number of Divine Lord existences.
After that, the situation in Wuxiang City changed, and various factions began to compete with each other.
"A Venerable-class beast in the east?"
"Oh no!"
"I think Mu Shenjun and the others went hunting in the east, right?!"
In the Fengxing Association's gathering place, a small number of Divine Lords who didn't participate in this hunt also felt the disturbance and rushed out. They looked towards the east of Wuxiang City, their faces changing one after another, and they exchanged glances, all looking grim.
