Chapter 1308: Great Shen Empire: The Powerful Thousand Earth
Thousand Earth looked at them with an amused expression.
"I’ve been on the battlefield ever since our Lord started the war. I’ve killed countless people and prodigies. I’ve honed myself through every battle and used the resources of the towns, cities, and countries that we’ve destroyed. If you think you’re the only ones who have grown stronger, then you’re wrong."
As soon as he finished speaking, the humongous hand that Doranjan was holding back suddenly exerted even greater force.
"Argh!"
Doranjan felt a sharp pain as the hand slammed into his body. The air shook violently, and his body was sent crashing toward the ground faster than light.
Rumble!
The ground trembled heavily as numerous houses were destroyed upon impact.
Eztein and Vashno gasped as they pulled their spear and fist away, respectively.
’Damn!!’
The two of them felt that Doranjan had been blasted behind them.
The next second, Thousand Earth’s hands blurred.
"Too slow."
His hands slashed through the air.
Blood spurted.
Eztein kicked off the air, retreating as fast as he could. However, he saw his left arm tumbling through the air, blood spraying from the severed limb.
’Whoa, that was too close! Luckily, I avoided getting hit in the heart,’ he thought inwardly.
He moved his eyes to the side and saw that Vashno was in the same condition.
Vashno’s hand had been severed just like his.
Whoosh!!
A second later, both of them retreated several hundred meters away from Thousand Earth. They shook their bodies, and their severed hands quickly regenerated.
"This is really, really bad," Eztein said with a grim expression, clenching his fingers tightly around his weapon.
"Yeah. I don’t think we can defeat this guy," Vashno said, nodding in agreement.
From that clash alone, both of them could feel the seemingly endless power hidden within Thousand Earth. They hated to admit it, but they were outclassed in every possible way.
Swoosh!!
A huge dragon appeared behind them.
It was Doranjan.
His injuries had completely disappeared, thanks to the power of the parasite.
"How are you two?" Doranjan asked.
"We’re fine, for now," Eztein replied.
"I remember him," Vashno said, recalling the events that had happened in the past. He continued, "He’s one of the people who attacked Selnes Country. I remember him calling the other one Anti Mage. He and that guy, Anti Mage, are both among the experts who attacked Selnes Country."
"Some of them perished, but those who survived the battle grew stronger," Eztein said, recalling his fight against Spatial Whisperer.
The one before him was clearly stronger than Spatial Whisperer by a large margin.
They needed to create an opportunity.
Thousand Earth looked at the three of them and asked, "Have you finished forming a plan?"
He took a step forward, and the atmosphere instantly grew heavy.
"If not, then you will die today."
Immense killing intent swept out like a raging tide.
Immediately, the trio sprang into action.
Whoosh!!
In the city below, people looked up with fear in their eyes. Their limbs trembled, and their bodies turned cold as they watched flashes of light streak across the sky above the city.
Those figures, shrouded in light, looked like gods who had descended into the mortal world.
Every time they moved, they generated enough force to sweep through their surroundings. As a result, the entire city was affected by the battle.
"Higher-level powerhouses?!"
"Help!!"
"RUUUNNN!!"
"It can’t be...!!"
Xian City wasn’t nearly as large as a city like Yunze City. It was three times smaller, and the resources circulating here were far inferior. That was why there were no major organizations in Xian City like the Heavenly Potion Pavilion in Yunze City.
Xian City was just an ordinary city without a single powerhouse above the Sixth Shackle Realm. There was only one Sixth Shackle Realm expert and five Fifth Shackle Realm experts guarding the city. The rest were merely at the Fourth Shackle Realm and below.
The city’s experts were terrified, wondering why such high-level powerhouses had chosen to fight above their city.
...
BOOM!!
A powerful explosion erupted, sending the huge dragon flying several kilometers away.
Doranjan’s body crashed into the wilderness outside the city like a meteorite, and the impact caused a massive crater to form.
"Ugh!!"
Doranjan spat out a mouthful of blood. His scales and wings were disfigured from the impact, but they recovered to their original state a second later.
"This guy is too strong... An Intermediate Fifth Stage like me isn’t enough."
He raised his dragon head and stared at the flashing figures above.
His strength was enough to contend with multiple Eighth Shackle Realm experts, but in front of Thousand Earth, he felt like he was nothing.
Doranjan opened his mouth wide. In the next moment, vast amounts of energy swirled within his mouth, forming a sphere of highly concentrated energy.
Ohm!
He narrowed his eyes and locked onto Thousand Earth, who was fighting against Eztein and Vashno.
...
Eztein and Vashno moved at high speed, slashing, thrusting, and punching at Thousand Earth. Their movements were highly coordinated as they viciously unleashed one powerful attack after another.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The air trembled under the might of their collisions.
Eztein moved to the side and swung the spear in his hand.
In the next second, he felt immense pain as he tilted his body. He saw his hand get diced into bloody mist by a sharp energy blade.
It was too fast.
Eztein could barely react at all.
He kicked off the air and spun around. His hand regenerated almost instantly, and he grabbed the spear once again. Using the momentum of his spin, he swung the weapon toward Thousand Earth.
Thousand Earth glanced at Eztein before casually waving his hand and deflecting the spear in another direction.
"Damn!!" Eztein gritted his teeth in frustration upon seeing the enemy deflect his attack so easily.
Thousand Earth’s other hand flashed, shooting toward Vashno.
Bang!
In less than a second, Vashno spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt as if he had been punched a hundred times in an instant.
Thousand Earth raised his foot, spun around, and kicked the two of them away.
Bang! Bang!
Eztein and Vashno were blasted away once again.
They rolled through the air before stabilizing themselves hundreds of meters away.
Staring at the unharmed Thousand Earth, they knew that their efforts to damage him were in vain. The difference in strength was enormous, and it was frustrating.
"I will go all out," Eztein said in a low voice.
"Yeah, me too." Vashno nodded. "Follow the plan, and hopefully, we’ll succeed."
Strings of flesh emerged from their pores and formed a layer of skin that covered their clothes and armor, transforming their appearances into something hideous.
Thousand Earth raised his eyebrows upon seeing their transformation.
"You can regenerate almost every injury... It’s almost as if you’re immortal. You really are people of the Blood Lightning Monster."
He paused, as if admiring their regeneration abilities. Then, he asked, "Is the Blood Lightning Monster still alive? I haven’t heard any news about him for several months. Is he hiding?"
Vashno and Eztein remained silent, simply keeping their eyes fixed on their enemy.
"If..." Thousand Earth was about to say something when he suddenly sensed an energy fluctuation from afar.
"Hmm...?"
In the distance, Doranjan finished charging his attack. His limbs dug into the ground as the crater beneath him grew larger. Energy swirled around his mouth like a hurricane.
[Primal Dragon Breath]!!
A powerful beam erupted from his mouth.
The ground burst open, the wind whistled, and green light illuminated the entire area.
In an instant, the powerful beam swallowed Thousand Earth.
Eztein and Vashno stood back as the air trembled, and even the city below shook from the immense power of the attack.
’What a powerful attack!!’
It was so powerful that their instincts screamed in warning just from being near it.
Eztein was at the Seventh Shackle Realm, so the danger it posed to him was even greater. He knew that he could die if he took that attack head-on. His defense wasn’t strong enough to withstand an attack from an Intermediate Fifth Stage monster like Doranjan.
Eztein and Vashno retreated, but before they could get far, they suddenly felt something lock onto them.
A chill ran down their spines as the hairs on their bodies stood on end.
Their eyes widened as a shadow loomed over them.
"Damn!!" Eztein cursed under his breath.
The two of them saw a humongous hand made of rocks and soil, approximately five hundred meters in size.
It appeared out of thin air.
Its fingers stretched out, grabbing the air and space around Eztein and Vashno.
"He’s too strong," Vashno said, his expression grim.
Their expression turned pale, sensing the fabric of space turning into a restrictive force against them.
They gritted their teeth and roared.
BOOM!!
Vast elemental power exploded within their bodies and expanded outward, flooding the entire area with different elements.
