Chapter 2297: Assistance from the World
As elder He Tian engaged in an intense battle against Qing Shan, the group of ten led by Donglin Yanxue finally found a powerful vicious beast two million kilometres away. Naturally, an intense battle erupted.
Among Donglin Yanxue’s eight protectors, one of them currently faced a bull-like vicious beast that stood over thirty meters tall in a battle of life or death.
The bull-like vicious beast was extremely large. It was like a hill as it stood there, making the Hallowed Saint Master who fought against it seem as insignificant as an ant.
However, even though they differed greatly in size, they were evenly matched in their battle. The Laws of the Hallowed clashed with the brutal strength of the beast, erupting with deafening booms. Powerful energy wreaked havoc in the surroundings, stirring up the origin energy in the area while kicking up dust and creating great cracks in the ground.
This was a battle between Godkings. The shockwaves spread for several tens of thousand kilometres. Without the corresponding strength, it was impossible for one to get close to the battle.
A hundred kilometres away, Donglin Yanxue stood beside Jian Chen. She stared at the intense battle up ahead as the seven other protectors all stood around Jian Chen and Donglin Yanxue to protect them. The two at the very front worked together to maintain an energy barrier, blocking the shockwaves from the battle up ahead.
If it were not for the barrier, it would have been impossible for Donglin Yanxue to stand so close with her cultivation that was only equivalent to a Deity. She would have been pushed far away by the shockwaves from the battle between man and beast.
At this moment, all of them paid close attention to the battle. They all frowned, and the faces of the seven other protectors became rather ugly.
“How can this vicious beast be so powerful? It’s clearly just an early Godking, yet it can hold its ground against Chen Feng who has a mid seven-colored soulcore. Cheng Feng’s a Hallowed Saint Master after all…”
“Hallowed Saint Masters are much more powerful than fighters of the same cultivation level in the Saints’ World. With Chen Feng’s cultivation that is equivalent to a mid Godking, he can defeat mid Godking fighters easily, yet he has remained matched for so long against a vicious beast that is only an early Godking. This…”
“How are the vicious beasts of the World of Moon and Star so powerful…”
…
The seven protectors who guarded Donglin Yanxue and Jian Chen discussed the matter sternly. The scene before them had upheaved their understandings completely.
A strange light flickered in the eyes of Jian Chen. He stared at the colossal vicious beast with brimming interest before looking at the sky from time to time. He showed both surprise and doubt.
After fusing with a strand of true Chaotic Force, his soul had changed, giving him various abilities. Currently, he could clearly sense a sliver of power that belonged to the World of Moon and Star fuse into the vicious beast as it fought, allowing the beast to hold its ground against a Hallowed Saint Master that was akin to a mid Godking while only being an early Godking.
“The vicious beast before me can actually use the power of the World of Moon and Star?” Jian Chen was visibly moved by this discovery. He sank into his thoughts.
This was not as simple as controlling the powers of the surroundings. The power of the World of Moon and Star had fused with the vicious beast, assisting it in battle. It was similar to when the artifact spirit controlled the power of the Neptunean Divine Palace to protect Xiao Man.
The power of the Neptunean Divine Palace came from the structure itself, yet the power that assisted the vicious beast came from the World of Moon and Star. It was definitely not as simple as manipulating the origin energy that permeated the surroundings.
“Is this an innate ability of the vicious beasts, or is the World of Moon and Star similar to the Neptunean Divine Palace, especially taking care of these vicious beasts?” Jian Chen sank into his thoughts. It would be fine if it were the former, but he could not help but feel his heart sink if it were the latter.
“However, I can’t eliminate the possibility of this being the Radiant Saint Hall’s handiwork. After all, this is a place where a trial is being held. Since it’s a trial, it must have a certain level of difficulty and challenge,” Jian Chen guessed.
However, at this moment, Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed. Suddenly, he looked behind him. There was an intense battle between Primordial realm experts in the distance. Even though it was far away, he was still able to sense the surging energy ripples from the fight between the Primordial realm experts as soon as they erupted.
At that moment, Jian Chen’s gaze became piercing. As if he could see through space, he directly viewed what was happening over two million kilometres away.
With Jian Chen’s current cultivation, seeing something two million kilometres away was no longer a problem. He could clearly see elder He Tian, who watched over this entire place, engage in a battle with an azure-robed man.
“It’s Martial Soul Force! It’s actually the pulses from Martial Soul Force!” Jian Chen called out inside. At that moment, he fell into emotional turmoil. He struggled to remain calm. He possessed Martial Soul Force himself, but he was unable to find a cultivation method for it. As a result, his Martial Soul Force was still puny. Jian Chen immediately recognised the Marital Soul Force used during the fight between Qing Shan and elder He Tian.
However, the protectors behind Jian Chen were all focusing on the vicious beast up ahead, so none of them discovered the change to Jian Chen’s expression.
“That young man is only a Godking, yet he slightly has the upper hand against elder He Tian. There’s only one Godking so powerful and uses Martial Soul Force—Qing Shan, who ranks first on the Godkings’ Throne,” Jian Chen thought. Very soon, he deduced the young man’s identity, and the light in his eyes flickered.
The battle between Qing Shan and elder He Tian grew in intensity. It erupted with shockwaves that were even more terrifying. Eventually, the seven protectors around Jian Chen and Donglin Yanxue sensed it.
Immediately, the seven protectors looked behind them. Their visions were nowhere near as great as Jian Chen’s, so they were unable to see so far away with their naked eyes. As a result, they all used the senses of their souls.
Even though they could envelop the region easily with the senses of their souls as mid Godkings, the region was filled with a fierce storm of energy, which prevented their senses from getting close.
However, they were still able to sense elder He Tian’s presence and the power of the Laws of the Hallowed within the storm of energy.
As a result, their expressions immediately changed.
“Oh no, there’s a Primordial realm expert in the World of Moon and Star!”
“They seem to be on par with elder He Tian. This is not good…”
“How is that possible? Haven’t the elders cleansed out all the experts who’ve reached the Primordial realm? How did they miss one…”
“Since the Primordial realm expert is fighting with elder He Tian, it must be an enemy. If elder He Tian gives way, we’ll be faced with a disaster…”
…
The seven protectors all cried out as their faces became extremely ugly.
Clearly, they had realised the severity of the matter.
