Fishing the Myriad Heavens Chapter 211

Chapter 211: The Power of The Inner Core!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
This was a Grade 6 grand formation, capable of trapping a Demonic Beast above Xiantian!
Even though the Cerberus was a Half-step Grade 7 Demonic Beast, it could not afford to ignore the power of the formation. Immediately, it stomped forcefully and shot off!
“Boom!”
The force of that stomp was frightfully powerful. A huge hole even appeared on the ground from the impact!
Seeing the humongous beast charging towards him, the Demonic Beast Hunter on that side of the formation did not panic at all. His body did not even twitch in response.
“Kuang!”
A deafening blast sounded out as the Cerberus was forcefully halted.
Amazingly, the thing which had blocked the raging Cerberus was actually just a thin golden barrier. Despite being rammed against so forcefully, it only fluctuated violently, but did not break apart.
This grand formation was created specifically to deal with powerful Demonic Beasts. It required at least ninety-nine Xiantian level Demonic Beast Hunters to be laid down!
The higher the number of Demonic Beast Hunters sustaining it, the more powerful it would be! Similarly, the cultivation of the people sustaining the formation would also affect the strength of the formation!
Although there were only 100 people sustaining this formation right now, each one’s cultivation was not low. Even the weakest among them was a late stage Xiantian Lord! With three half-step Controlled Dan experts within their ranks, the power of the formation was naturally beyond one’s imagination!
“D*mn it!”
The three-headed hound was enraged. Those chains were exceedingly annoying and persistent, causing the beast to have to spend a great deal of effort to deal with it constantly.
Countless shimmering golden chains were broken apart by the claws and teeth of the Cerberus, but new chains would appear in the blink of an eye, shooting towards it again without rest.
“At this rate, we’ll be exhausted to death in here! Apart from that, that person does not look too normal!” the head in the middle growled, seemingly having decided on something.
“Right, if we can break through this formation, the choice of whether to fight or flee would still rest with us!”
The right-most head nodded. The aura on the human outside was growing at an incredible rate, as if it had no limits. That was already enough to cause the Cerberus to feel a huge sense of crisis.
Having come to a decision, the Cerberus suddenly stopped and allowed the chains to coil around it as all three mouths opened. As it did so, countless strands of formless energy flowed out of its three mouths, appearing exceptionally sinister!
“Stop it, quickly!” Morpheus who was still channeling his spell in midair suddenly shouted fiercely.
“Hou!”
Although he’d noticed it extremely quickly, Morpheus’s warning was still too late. Three Inner Cores as big as goose eggs were spinning in the air before the Cerberus, accompanied by a powerful surge of Heaven and Earth Ling Qi!
The Cerberus was a Demonic Beast which was able to suppress all other Demonic Beasts of the same Grade by relying on its terrifying innate ability which far surpassed all ordinary Demonic Beasts. That was because no matter what realm it was at, it had three times the foundation of other Demonic Beasts!
Take the Controlled Dan realm for example. Others would normally only form a single Inner Core, but the Cerberus actually had three!
If it hadn’t underestimated its opponent and fell into the formation and ended up feeling so threatened by the human outside, it only needed to resist for a few more minutes and the formation would not be able to do anything to it!
At this moment, the three Inner Cores were coming together, merging into a single whole. As the three Inner Cores all came from the same source, so they were able to merge together perfectly without any problems. Huge ripples appeared in the air around the Inner Core as waves of Heaven and Earth Ling Qi condensed and flowed with their rotation.
The moment the combined Inner Core appeared, even the wind seemed to have disappeared. Fear suddenly bloomed in the hearts of all the Demonic Beast Hunters as a voice appeared in their heads. ‘Get away from here! Otherwise, you would definitely die!’
But seeing that Lord Morpheus still had not issued any commands, and because of their faith in the grand formation, none of the 100 Demonic Beast Hunters backed off. Instead, they poured in even more Ling Qi with increased fervency!
The golden chains grew even thicker, coiling around the Cerberus!
“Hou!”
The Cerberus raised all three heads and roared in tandem. As if being directed by the roar, the three-in-one Inner Core which was now as big as a basketball shot off with lightning speed, colliding against the formation in an instant!
Without any sound or sign, the golden barrier which was able to block the full power charge of the Cerberus was directly pierced through, shattering into pieces which melted into light and disappearing.
“PU!”
The moment the formation was shattered, all the Demonic Beast Hunters suffered a backlash, causing them to spit out a mouthful of blood as their bodies dropped to the ground like sacks of flour.
“Boom!”
The Inner Core continued without pause, slamming heavily into the ground!
A second passed, and just as all the Demonic Beast Hunters released a relieved breath, a terrible force suddenly surged out of the ground!
A cloud of smoke burst out of the ground in the same moment, forming a mushroom cloud in the air. As the smoke and dust settled, a huge crater over a hundred meter wide and several meters deep had appeared on the ground!
That burst of energy had directly claimed the lives of numerous Demonic Beast Hunters. Those that managed to survive were pitifully few.
Morpheus’s heart was bleeding with the loss at this moment. This was a Demonic Beast Hunting team which he’d created using over twenty-five years of hard work! And it was actually destroyed so easily!
Even so, Morpheus still did not release his attack. Instead, his eyes were as piercing as an eagle’s as he scanned his surroundings.
“Only by slaying this Cerberus would I be able to recoup my losses!” Morpheus mumbled to himself.
“Roar!”
The Cerberus was also not in a good state. Using its Inner Core in such a manner placed a huge burden on its body.
All three heads appeared extremely listless and weak. However, the Cerberus did not forget that there was still a human staring down at it. However, it was unable to make its move anymore in its current state.
The Cerberus opened its mouths, emanating a suction force as the Inner Core floated back out of the ground.
“Now’s the time! Kill!”
Morpheus slashed out, his speed breaking through the sound barrier in an instant. A huge ripple trailed behind his strike, screeching through the air. This was a strike unleashed with all the power from the accumulation of energy from the start!
At this time, the Inner Core had already split into three again, and was right by the mouths of the Cerberus. A sword suddenly appeared, its speed so fast that time seemed to be standing still!
Although the Cerberus had been guarding against this human, it still did not manage to react at this instant!
Only the head in the middle managed to lower itself forcefully and swallow the Inner Core that belonged to it!
As for the other two heads, they were directly decapitated by that sword! Blood spurted crazily into the air as Morpheus reached out and grabbed the two Inner Cores, keeping them into his spatial ring.
After that, Morpheus shot backwards with great speed, anticipating the counterattack from the Cerberus. He hadn’t expected that this slash which he had been charging for so long would actually be dodged!
But contrary to Morpheus’s expectations, the Cerberus did not linger at all. A bloody mist covered its body and, like a blood-red rocket, it shot away into the distance, breaking past the speed of sound in an instant!
“Boom!”
A deafening sonic boom sounded out only after the Cerberus had appeared tens of meters away.
Morpheus was not in a hurry as he collected the two large heads into his spatial ring.
After that, he flew in the direction where the Cerberus had escaped without hurry. That slash earlier had expended quite a lot of energy. This was a good opportunity for him to recover some strength.
‘That Cerberus is heavily wounded; and adding to the fact that it forcefully charged away at a speed faster than sound, the burden on its body must be huge! It definitely will not be able to run far.
Furthermore, a wild beast will always remain a wild beast. Its intelligence will never trump over its beastly instincts. After suffering an injury like that, it will definitely make its way back to its nest to lick its wounds!’
Morpheus was traveling at a rather leisurely pace. He did not bother to follow the blood traces on the ground, and headed directly towards Mt Zhen Huan.
