Chapter 1039: Chapter 920: The Battle That Decides Humanity’s Survival!
“Of course you have to go. Master Yan and I will deal with the half-step true essence realm beast. You will go with them to slay those mid-stage and high-level mutant beasts.”
Yan didn’t understand what Ye Fan meant at all, and directly agreed with a smile, letting him go with the older strong people to slay other mutant beasts.
Ye Fan shook his head and said, “I want to go with you to the lair of the mutant beasts.”
Hearing Ye Fan’s words, Yan was stunned, glanced at Chu Xuanji, meaning to let him decide, after all, Ye Fan was Chu Xuanji’s disciple, and he couldn’t overstep his authority.
Chu Xuanji’s face also sank, frowning at Ye Fan, saying: “Nonsense, why do you want to follow? A half-step true essence realm mutant beast, not to mention you, even we don’t have absolute confidence to win. Once the fight starts, we can’t ensure your safety.”
“Master, if I go, I can act if other mutant beasts attack you. Also, don’t worry, since I dare to go, I definitely have the ability to protect myself. You and Master Yan don’t need to worry about me. Although I can’t help you, I can at least protect myself adequately,” Ye Fan confidently smiled.
“This kid really boasts, that’s a half-step true essence realm mutant beast. Even Master Yan and Master Chu together don’t have absolute confidence, so how can he have the ability to protect himself?”
“You can’t say that. I see he’s not nervous, and maybe he really has the ability to protect himself. You know, people can’t be judged by appearance, just like a sea cannot be measured with one scoop. How do you know he doesn’t have the ability to protect himself?”
Seeing Ye Fan insist on following Master Yan and Chu Xuanji, the old strong warriors began to discuss. Some believed Ye Fan was like a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, completely unaware of how powerful a half-step true essence realm mutant beast really is.
Some believed Ye Fan might really have the ability to protect himself. After all, Ye Fan was already a high-level War God, and his absolute combat power could compete with top-level War Gods, which already made him an absolute strong person under Yan and Chu Xuanji!
“Do you really have the ability to protect yourself?”
Yan was also a bit incredulous. Although he knew that Ye Fan’s strength couldn’t be measured by realm, it was, after all, a half-step true essence realm mutant beast, and even he and Chu Xuanji together had no absolute confidence. How could he have the ability to protect himself?
Ye Fan nodded and looked at Chu Xuanji.
“Alright then, since you insist on going, I won’t say anything more, but remember, once the battle starts, Yan and I won’t have the power to protect you. I hope what you say is true and you really have the ability to protect yourself,” Chu Xuanji pondered for a moment and eventually agreed to let Ye Fan go with them,
A group of people set out mightily, heading towards the northern lair of the mutant beasts. Along the way, they encountered many natural villages and towns, but they had already become ruins, with a large number of corpses emitting a putrid smell, making those who smelled it want to vomit.
The lair of the mutant beasts was located in a primeval tropical rainforest in Africa, where the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was richer than in other places, pervading throughout the year.
If it weren’t for the mutant beasts occupying this place, it would have been a good place for cultivation. Unfortunately, it had become the lair of the mutant beasts, and not to mention humans, there weren’t even ordinary wild animals.
Since it was not yet dawn, except for some mutant beasts that were naturally active at night, the others were still sleeping.
So many people killing their way there couldn’t fool the sharp hearing of the mutant beasts. The mutant beasts walked out of their lairs and arranged in formation in a huge valley, engaging in a fierce battle with the human cultivators.
“You humans are really annoying. It seems the lesson from last time wasn’t enough. How dare you come here to die? None of you will return this time!”
With the voice, a mutant beast as large as a cow, shaped like a lion but covered in bone spurs like a layer of hedgehog skin, came stepping in the air. Its eyes were like a bright moon, shining brightly, and it was clearly no ordinary beast.
“Vile creature, today is the day you die, come over here and accept your death!”
Yan and Chu Xuanji also stepped into the air, appearing at the forefront of the human cultivators, with Yan responding.
“It’s you two again. It seems in this world you are the strongest. Today, I will first smash you both, so there will be no one to stop my steps in this world!”
Although the half-step true essence realm mutant beast couldn’t transform, it appeared in the form of a mutant beast, but its intelligence was extremely high, knowing that Chu Xuanji and Yan represented the strongest combat power on Earth.
Swoosh!
As it spoke, this mutant beast directly flew towards the two, Yan and Chu Xuanji quickly flew out of the valley. They wanted to lure away this half-step true essence realm mutant beast, even if the battle started, it shouldn’t affect the fight here.
The half-step true essence realm mutant beast naturally saw through their intentions, but it was not afraid. It was confident that its subordinate mutant beasts would definitely be able to withstand the human army.
It wouldn’t take long, just half an hour to tear these two apart, and then strike back to leave no human cultivator behind.
Seeing them chase and retreat, they soon flew over a hundred miles, Ye Fan hurriedly urged his golden feather wings to chase after them. Although he dared not get too close, he could still watch from afar.
The half-step true essence realm mutant beast also sensed his presence but didn’t care, as from Ye Fan’s gang qi fluctuation, it could roughly guess that Ye Fan was just a high-level War God realm, not worth its attention.
In the blink of an eye, the three men and one beast flew over five hundred miles, completely away from the great valley where the mutant beasts’ lair was located.
This place was a barren land filled with sand and gravel. A gust of wind blew yellow sand all over the sky, preventing one’s eyes from opening.
“Why did you stop running? Have you chosen your place?”
The half-step true essence realm mutant beast squinted its eyes, raised its claw, and swatted towards the two, a beast claw formed by gang qi shaded the sky like a mountain pressing down on them.
“Hiss~”
Once a master makes a move, you’ll know whether they have any skills.
Seeing the half-step true essence realm mutant beast make a move, Ye Fan watching from afar gasped in shock. Such a terrifying beast claw, if struck, he wouldn’t be able to resist, and he’d have no chance to escape.
“Boom——”
Yan and Chu Xuanji were shocked, ignoring injuries to the enemy, punching upwards, the blazing punch rays clashed fiercely with the solid beast claw, making a deafening sound.
The two trembled, knocking the beast claw flying, but it didn’t disintegrate, showing how powerful this mutant beast was.
With one move, Yan and Chu Xuanji’s faces turned solemn. Even though they were fully armed, they still felt they couldn’t defeat this mutant beast.
“Humph! With just this skill, you dare challenge me? Today, I’ll make sure you don’t return and become my food!”
As the words fell, the half-step True Essence Realm mutant beast opened its mouth and inhaled, instantly creating a vortex in the air that tore at Yan and Chu Xuanji.
Hmm?
Chu Xuanji and Yan’s hearts both tightened; the half-step True Essence Realm mutant beast was indeed powerful, not only possessing a strong physical body but also mighty innate beast skills.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
The two stood side by side, simultaneously executing their strongest fist techniques, ‘Qi Rushes to the Sky’ and ‘Snake and Dragon Joint Attack.’ The blazing punch rays immediately scattered the vortex, and they both escaped the mutant beast’s suction.
Ye Fan watched from afar, in awe of the half-step True Essence Realm mutant beast’s strength, while also sweating for Yan and Chu Xuanji.
It seems that defeating this mutant beast won’t be easy for them.
“Roar…”
Seeing the two escape its suction force, the half-step True Essence Realm mutant beast hesitated not for a second, its swollen belly instantly deflated as it let out a thunderous roar, scattering the clouds in the sky.
Chu Xuanji and Yan were struck as if by lightning, their faces turning pale instantly. This roar’s sound wave was too strong; had it been anyone else facing such a frontal assault, they would have died from the shock.
Ye Fan, being farther away and not directly in front of the mutant beast, did not bear the brunt of the attack. Yet, his ears buzzed, blood even trickling out of them.
Terrifying!
Absolutely terrifying!
At this moment, Ye Fan finally understood why, in the satellite-shooting videos, those cultivators were killed by a single roar from the mutant beast.
The half-step True Essence Realm mutant beast was simply too terrifying!
Yan and Chu Xuanji exchanged a glance, seeing deep gravity in each other’s eyes; the half-step True Essence Realm mutant beast was extraordinarily strong!
Swoosh!
Before the roar ceased, the half-step True Essence Realm mutant beast’s forehead suddenly opened up a vertical eye, shooting out a blue light akin to an arrow directed straight at Chu Xuanji’s chest.
Chu Xuanji, wearing his Heavenly Demon Armor, surged True Yuan throughout his body, and with a wave, a hand of True Yuan transformed into a large palm striking at the blue light.
Boom—
With a loud bang, the True Yuan hand exploded, slightly dimming the blue light, but its power remained undiminished, continuing toward Chu Xuanji.
After the confrontation, victory and defeat were immediate!
This half-step True Essence Realm mutant beast, nearly on the verge of entering the True Essence Realm like Chu Xuanji, had the added advantage of the mutant beast, with combat power above Chu Xuanji’s.
Swish!
Chu Xuanji’s complexion changed, his body swiftly dodging the blue light attack, his expression becoming exceedingly grim.
“Beast, today, you must die!”
Upon seeing Chu Xuanji make a decisive move, he let out a long howl, directly burning his Gang Qi Essence, instantly elevating his combat power to a peak state.
Yan, seeing this, also followed suit, burning his Gang Qi Essence, knowing very well that without burning it, they wouldn’t stand a chance, let alone be able to slay it.
After burning the Gang Qi Essence, the combat power of both soared to a terrifying level, forcing even the half-step True Essence Realm mutant beast to treat them cautiously; its whole body flashed with blue bone spurs, its aura strengthening significantly.
Ye Fan, watching from a distance, fell into deep thought; the second mutant beast now possessed a vertical eye on its forehead—could this not be an innate divine ability of some beast? Or did these mutant beasts unlock such an ability upon reaching a certain realm?
The forehead, whether human or mutant beast, is a very mysterious place. Ancient texts referred to human foreheads as Niu Wan Palace, also called Tian Que or Yellow Court, believed to be the birthplace of divine beings.
Moreover, Ye Fan knew that within his own forehead lay the seed of Mind Power, known in modern medicine as the pineal gland, where ancient humans supposedly unlocked the Heavenly Eye.
“Could it be that humans, upon achieving a certain level of cultivation, can indeed open the Heavenly Eye at the forehead?”
Ye Fan mused in his heart, eyes fixed on the battlefield, his entire heart in his throat.
Because…
This battle determines the survival of humanity!
