Chapter 428, Beast of the Realm
The dense chaotic air currents of the cosmic sea permeated the cabin of the small white jade boat that sometimes teleported and sometimes flew at high speed. Inside were the three founders of the giant axe who were heading to the miniature universe of the Fireworm True Lord.
The Tomb Ship, after being modified by the Broken East River, has greatly enhanced its escape capabilities, making it more suitable for traveling than the Nine Snail Palace of the Giant Axe Founder and Ye Muxuan's Mysterious Spirit Tower. Therefore, all three of them were inside the Tomb Ship.
The Fireworm Lord has fallen, along with all the universe lords and cosmic venerables of his entire race, as well as those alien life forms who entrusted their life essence to his miniature universe. However, because the True God who delivered the message was momentarily confused by the soul attack of the World Beast, none of the three saw the reason for the Fireworm Lord's demise.
Although other true gods did not have the same convenient and direct access to information about the first battle as humans do in their virtual universes, they still learned of the Fireworm Lord's demise through various channels.
"Blood Orchid failed to stop the Beast of the Realm, and its divine body suffered a loss of more than 40%, but Divine Eye and Juehe caught up." Luo Feng said, holding a communication token in his hand. "Zhuoyuan has notified the other overlords, and it is estimated that the Nine-Headed Demon Lord and the Star Lord Beichi will arrive soon."
"I didn't expect the Beast of the Realm to be so powerful, able to escape from the hands of the Divine Eye and the Awakening." The Giant Axe Founder's eyes were burning, and his hand unconsciously clenched, as if the Giant Axe of his natal array plate was in his hand.
"The World Beast escaped in the same way that Big Brother and the others encountered before, splitting into ninety-nine clones. However, this time, Divine Eye and Juehe killed more than sixty clones, but more than thirty still escaped, so the World Beast has already escaped," Luo Feng said. "Moreover—it's still unknown whether Divine Eye and the others can catch up with it this time."
"The firefly's strength is too weak. Apart from the move of turning the black energy into a cocoon to wrap him up, we haven't been able to probe anything else. Moreover, being wrapped in this cocoon, we can only use divine power to wear him down. At least a top-tier ninth-order attack cannot break through the cocoon from the inside." The Giant Axe Founder said, wondering if the World Beast was holding back. If he were wrapped in the cocoon, could a top-tier eleventh-order attack break through?
After all, in terms of divine body, he was only of normal size, far inferior to those special life forms.
"Let's see if Divine Eye and Juehe can catch up with the World Beast. If we lose track of the World Beast, we can only passively wait for it to devour the small universes again." Ye Muxuan spoke up from his silence.
Both he and Luo Feng had reached 89999 times their life gene multiplier, just one step away from the third level of the Infinite Divine Body. The blood of the World Beast was the key to taking that step. As long as they obtained the blood of the World Beast, both he and Luo Feng would have the potential to take that step.
Whoever takes this step, the scales of victory will begin to tip.
The tomb ship, which had been hurtling past at a speed a million times faster than light, suddenly stopped. News came from the Turbid Abyss that even with the space frozen and teleportation impossible, the Beast of the Realm still managed to escape thanks to the combined efforts of the Divine Eye True Lord and the Awakening True God.
Inside the tomb-like vessel, the three fell silent.
For a moment, the entire cosmic ocean was deathly still.
On the third day after the Beast of the Realm escaped, in the chaotic void, the small white jade boat finally reunited with the Divine Eye True Lord, the True God of Awakening, and...
The Blood Orchid Ancestor and several other true gods met.
"Divine Eye, how did the Beasts escape when space was frozen?" The Giant Axe Founder asked directly as soon as he flew out of the Tomb Ship and saw the True Gods, including the Divine Eye True Lord, not far ahead. "They can't teleport and rely solely on flying. I don't think you are any worse than the Beasts, to the point that you couldn't even catch up with them."
"Juehe, Xuelan, and I reviewed this battle and discovered some strange things. You can refer to them as well." The white-robed elder, who had revealed the Divine Eye True Lord in his ordinary human form, looked at the three powerful humans who came out of the Tomb Ship and said, "First, the World Beast can devour small universes. Currently, it takes about eight days to devour one. It is still unclear whether this is the limit of the World Beast, and whether the speed will increase in the future."
"The Firefly said that once they are engaged in a battle, the World Beast's devouring speed will be greatly reduced, or even stop," the Blood Orchid Ancestor added from the side.
Previously, when the Fireworm God acted as a vanguard to probe, his microcosmic origin responded most clearly.
"Secondly, the black light used by the World Beast to devour small universes can form a black cocoon, which can also devour true gods." The divine power of the Divine Eye True Lord flew out from his fingertips, simulating the part of the scene that Ye Muxuan and the others had not seen before.
The black light appeared and transformed into a series of winding, intertwined arcs, finally forming a cocoon shrouded in black mist, enveloping the Fireworm Lord within. The Fireworm Lord charged left and right, blasting bumps into the surface of the cocoon, but still showed no sign of breaking through.
"Back then, Firefly and Blood Orchid joined forces to annihilate the black energy of the World Beast, which caused the cocoon to tear apart. So unless one's total divine power exceeds that of the World Beast, a single True God has no hope once enveloped," True God Juehe said. "And this was only because God Eye and I were attacking the World Beast head-on, and Firefly was able to break through. But the second time, after the World Beast's cocoon ruptured, the remaining black threads combined into a black pillar of light, which then instantly transformed into the same cocoon again, enveloping Firefly. Blood Orchid didn't even have time to save him, and Firefly perished."
"Our hypothesis is that the firefly was enveloped a second time, and lacking sufficient divine power, it was directly annihilated in the power struggle with the world beast."
The three founders of the giant axe quietly watched the scene simulated by the Divine Eye True Lord in the void.
"Thirdly, the soul attack methods of the Beast of the Realm are far stronger than those of ordinary True Gods. A normal True God's ultimate will would be unable to withstand such pain and would be unable to attack. Reaching the Void level would be better, as one could remain conscious, but the ability to attack would still be affected. Only when one's will reaches the limit of the Void can one remain unaffected," the Divine Eye True Lord continued.
At a certain moment, the three founders of the giant axe and the true gods, including the Divine Eye True Lord Juehe True God, sensed something and suddenly looked up at the void above their heads.
In fact, there is no concept of up, down, left, or right in the cosmic sea; it's just that they habitually look up.
This time, the primordial will of the original universe did not block messages that transcended the true gods.
For example, when they say "the will of the void," this would have been blocked in the past. But now, it isn't.
Could it be argued that the primordial will has finally witnessed the truly terrifying side of the World Beast?
After a long silence, the Divine Eye True Lord spoke: "The fourth point is the means of escape."
The scene shifted again in mid-air. In the solidified void, the fleeing Beast suddenly had ninety-nine mysterious patterns with black borders and gold bones appear on its entire skin. The patterns then differentiated into ninety-nine avatars, which suddenly accelerated in the solidified void.
Although the Divine Eye True Lord and the Awakening True God acted decisively, instantly killing sixty-four avatars, thirty-five avatars still quickly soared to ten thousand times the speed of light, then one hundred thousand times the speed of light—
Finally, in the eyes of the Divine Eye True Lord and the Juehe True God who rushed over, two avatars disappeared into thin air.
Without any warning, without any expectation, it simply vanished into thin air.
After those two avatars disappeared, the remaining thirty-three avatars also disintegrated and vanished.
The Divine Eye True Lord and the True God of Enlightenment attempted to intercept the energy after the Beast Incarnation decomposed, but clearly, they could not do it.
"In other words, even if one of the ninety-nine avatars escapes, the remaining avatars, though not destroyed, can still decompose and dissipate on their own, and then form a new World Beast body with the escaped avatar," Luo Feng said with a grim expression.
This means that all ninety-nine avatars must be intercepted and killed simultaneously; not even one less will suffice.
"This shouldn't be the World Beast's full range of abilities. Its ability to escape is too strong. Even if the five of us work together, we're not confident we can stop and kill all of its avatars in an instant. So the World Beast could easily kill another True God, or even Turbid Abyss, before escaping." The silent Giant Axe Founder, after observing all this, spoke up, "Before, Divine Eye and Awakening could only entangle it. The blood orchid's divine power might not have been that depleting for the World Beast. Don't forget, the World Beast just devoured the Firefly's miniature universe, which should have replenished its energy."
Giant Axe didn't understand the Beast of the Realm, but his combat talent was too high, and he quickly discovered the abnormality in the Beast of the Realm's methods.
Why would a Beast that can't replenish its energy devour the origin of a small universe? Furthermore, the Demon Lord of the Turbid Abyss's divine body is only slightly larger than the Giant Axe Founder; it's not at the absurd level of a special life form. Not to mention that Flowing Water True God; their strength is far inferior to that of God Eye and the others.
The Beast could have used the "Black Mist Cocoon" technique to kill one or even two True Gods, and then escape while enduring the attack of the Divine Eye True Lord.
"Demonic Eye and I also noticed this anomaly during our previous discussion," True God Juehe said, his crimson face showing some solemnity. "The Realm Beast's black mist threads, black mist cocoon, soul impact, and avatar escape—these methods are all very powerful, but it hasn't reached its last resort yet!"
"This proves that these are all conventional methods. True life-saving methods are only used when facing death. Moreover, the method of burning blood to increase strength that Pupil Demon God and the others encountered last time did not appear this time. If it is not due to individual differences in the methods they master, then it means that this Beast of the Realm is still preserving its strength."
