Chapter 401 Joint Attack With Skills
“Roar…”
The Eight-armed Giant Beast widened its large mouth, which looked like it could devour Heaven and Earth, and it let out a thunderous roar. Its voice was filled with strong killing intent, and it sounded like it looked down upon all weaklings.
Yes. The beast regarded humans to be insignificant, hence it treated them lightly.
The humongous beast lowered its body before it leaped high into mid-air, where it hung as though it was weightless. With that, it seemed like the beast almost covered the entire sky.
As soon as it landed, it combined its eight arms and struck another wall.
That wall was crushed into pieces as if it was built through scamp work and stint material. Dust filled the area without an end, causing everyone’s vision to be blurred.
“Oh no!”
The human powerhouses were appalled. At that point, they could tell that the giant beast was planning to tear down the walls.
Once the Humans’ defensive walls were gone, the beast herd could swarm into the city freely. However, most of the residents were ordinary people without combat power.
There was a huge disparity between the Humans and the Beasts. The former had developed clear divisions of work after years of evolution. Although the old, the weak, the pregnant, and the young were part of the race, they were not suitable candidates for wars. They were not powerless, but they were not capable enough to face the beast tide.
On the contrary, the latter was different. Even if ferocious beasts were old and weak, they had to hunt to survive. Without the city walls as a barrier, the Humans would soon be doomed.
Everyone knew the Eight-armed Giant Beast had to be stopped, but they were in despair after they saw its build.
‘A spirit beast?
‘Spirit beasts as told in legends can actually be so mighty…’
He Liangce watched dumbfoundedly and in shock as the beast wreaked havoc.
‘Is this the enemy I’ll be facing? Even if I incite the Iron Blood Loyal Heart Technique and am assisted by the Noble Sacrifice Secret Technique, can I defeat it?’
The He family’s eldest young master lost confidence.
“We mustn’t let it prevail; stop it!” Fang Zhaoyang yelled and pulled his bow. He was already fully armed with an archer’s suit and equipment, where his bow and arrows had become magic tools after they were refined by Ou Yangming.
Nevertheless, he only had ten such arrows.
Earlier on, when the Humans were attacked by great-ancestor-level half-spirit beasts on top of the main gate’s wall, he was only willing to use one of the arrows.
This time, he fired an arrow without any hesitation.
He knew if he did not use the arrows now, he might not have the chance to use them anymore.
The arrow zoomed in the air like a meteor pursuing the moon. It flew toward the gigantic creature.
Even so, the Eight-armed Giant Beast turned its head abruptly and blew air in the opposite direction of the arrow’s flight path.
Enormous yet unimaginable power was released from its mouth at that instant, causing a drastic change in the lightning arrow’s speed and flying course. Obstructed by the strong wind, the arrow became shaky, and it finally fell after it lost power.
The Eight-armed Giant Beast extended one of its arms and grabbed the arrow.
When it held the arrow, it seemed like an extremely tall person was holding a small toothpick. It was quite a funny scene.
Nonetheless, the giant beast was surprised. ‘Magic tool—this is a magic tool, and it’s a disposable weapon for an archer.
‘Isn’t this a lowly world? Why do they have something like this? Magic tools are definitely top-notch pieces of equipment in this world, so even if they can be smithed, it’s only reasonable that weapons like sabers and spears are smithed because they can be used continuously.
‘Magic tools for an archer… ‘Did I come to the wrong world?’
While the giant beast hesitated, nearly 100 Supreme Great Ancestors arrived on the wall.
Given that the Eight-armed Giant Beast destroyed so many walls with its incredible might, one could easily guess its identity as long as one was not a fool.
Other than the great ancestors stationed on specific walls, the other powerhouses hurried over even if they were supposed to be resting.
Elder Universe looked at the others and warned them, “Be careful, this is a high-rank spirit beast!”
‘A high-rank… Spirit beast!’
The other people felt their hearts sink. ‘A high-rank spirit beast? That’s a legend in legends.’
For generations, the spirit beasts that descended were low-rank spirit beasts, but the attacks were considered disasters, and the Humans suffered huge losses. On top of that, the low-ranked spirit beasts were only slaughtered when the Humans paid substantial and painful prices.
What if they were to eliminate a high-rank spirit beast?
It would seem like a Yin Grade or Force Grade martial artist was causing trouble in a small village. Even though the village would be highly damaged, the martial artist could still be killed if everyone in the village joined hands and paid a certain price.
After all, a martial artist in Force Grade or Yin Grade was not powerful enough to oppress everyone and everything.
What if a Yang Grade powerhouse attacked a small village instead? What if a Supreme Great Ancestor showed up?
In those cases, nobody could guarantee the small village’s fate.
Li Xinfan shouted all of a sudden, “Unleash all skills and kill!”
His eyes were bloodshot, and he ordered without any hesitation for everyone to give their all.
Every Supreme Great Ancestor understood it right away, and they wielded their magic tools at the Eight-armed Giant Beast at the same time.
The magic tools were either enhanced by Ou Yangming twice or were directly imprinted with offensive skills. In particular, the skills provided by inheritors of their clans matched their magic tools so well that their weapons became more remarkable than before.
When 100 Supreme Great Ancestors attacked, it meant that nearly 100 offensive skills were let loose.
The Eight-armed Giant Beast had initially made little of the humans. It thought the humans could not resist at all even if they struggled. It only needed to do one thing at the moment, which was to tear down the walls. Afterward, it would summon the mindless low-rank beasts to devour the humans in the city.
As for the attacks from the powerhouses, the giant beast was not bothered at all because they simply felt like tickles to it.
Having said that, just as it raised its arms to ruin the third wall, it sensed an abnormality in the air. After taking just one glance, it widened its eyes.
It saw lights of different colors flying toward it from all directions.
The Eight-armed Giant Beast was the most formidable spirit beast in its upper realm and was very knowledgeable, thus it knew at once that the lusters were forceful skills.
Also, the attacks from the skills were so fearsome that even a high-rank spirit beast could not ignore them.
Needless to say, the giant beast would not be concerned at all if there was only one skill.
How many were there at the moment?
One, two, three…
By taking a swift glance, it noticed nearly 100 skills.
“Roar—”
The Eight-armed Giant Beast crouched without any delay. It lowered its arms as well to protect its weaker parts like its rib cage, its abdomen, and so on.
Its body was exceptionally resilient, hence magic tools might not necessarily hurt its skin. That said, skills were different because many weird skills in the world could penetrate strong defenses to explode in one’s body.
The Eight-armed Giant Beast would rather be attached by 1,000 or even 10,000 magic tools than face skills.
Nevertheless, since it was caught off guard, it lost its chance to dodge.
“Pow, pow, pow…”
Numerous booming sounds were heard almost concurrently.
The Eight-armed Giant Beast had tried its best to evade the skills, but its body was too massive. As such, Elder Universe and the others could easily release their skills on it without needing to aim.
Owing to the skills’ speeds and powers, they could not be avoided by the Eight-armed Giant Beast once they were released.
Therefore, nearly 100 skills hit it without any exception.
The Eight-armed Giant Beast trembled as different parts of its body reacted dissimilarly to the attacks. The spots on its body were either covered in frost, burnt, or had visibly shriveled, which were ghastly sights.
If the roughly 100 skills were released on a human instead, even Wu Yuanwei—the imperial family’s number one powerhousewould not be able to survive.
However, the Eight-armed Giant Beast was too bulky. Though it was heavily injured by the skill attacks, it was not on the verge of death.
The beast lifted eight of its arms again. Its body was covered in wounds, but it opened its mouth and roared at the top of its lungs.
“Be careful, it’s going to go all out!” Li Xinfan yelled.
Everyone else tapped the front of their chests, causing yellow lights to be released as they simulated the Indestructible Defense skill on their armors. They did not know if the skill could stop the Eight-armed Giant Beast’s horrific power, but it was better to be safe than sorry.
The Eight-armed Giant Beast was green with envy.
‘Nearly 100 magic skill tools and almost 100 defensive armors…
‘Oh God, where’s this place? It can’t be the lower realm that lacked spiritual power! Did I f*cking come to the wrong place?
‘Even normal cities in the upper realm won’t be able to provide these pieces of equipment, can they?’
As the Eight-armed Giant Beast roared, it sounded so violent that the great ancestors were petrified. How many of them would have to die to stop the beast if it went all out?
That being said, it was then when the giant beast leaped.
The crowd looked up with worry, but they soon noticed the giant beast slowly becoming smaller, smaller, smaller…
When that fellow jumped into mid-air, it flew backward as if it was pulled by a certain power behind it.
The Supreme Great Ancestors looked at each other and wondered, ‘What happened to going all out?’
‘Did we just fend off the high-rank spirit beast?’
Looking at the magic tools in their hands, the great ancestors, whose bodies were glowing in yellow lights, felt like they were dreaming.
