Chapter 879 -874 Easy and Pleasant
Boom! Boom! Boom!…
The sky rained down a multitude of chromatic attacks, mercilessly tearing apart all enemies that stood before the Elemental Spirit.
“Your Excellency the Elemental Spirit, according to the plan, you and Bai Shenhua weren’t supposed to act until an enemy of equal strength appeared.”
Watching the increasingly excited Elemental Spirit, Zhang Shan finally couldn’t bear it and stood out, reminding the Elemental Spirit with neither subservience nor arrogance.
“Plan? Don’t your humans always say that no plan survives contact with the enemy? It’s fine as long as the enemy is annihilated—no need to be so fussy.”
The Elemental Spirit waved its hand dismissively, and before Zhang Shan could continue persuading, the Elemental Spirit cut him off again.
“I get what you’re saying, but I told you, plans can’t keep up with changes. Out of all the beings present, my state is the most unpredictable. Rather than risk betting on whether I can exert my power in the final battle, it’s better to maximize my value right now.”
After hearing the Elemental Spirit’s words, Zhang Shan fell silent, no longer objecting.
“Zhang Shan, let it be. The Elemental Spirit’s thinking is right.”
Zhao Futu called back Zhang Shan with a smile at the Elemental Spirit, saying, “However, Your Excellency the Elemental Spirit, could you perhaps control your power a bit? After all, those small fry below lack a sense of urgency. If the battle situation changes, it won’t be good for them.”
“That’s true, I’ll take a break first.”
The Elemental Spirit clapped its hands with force, surprisingly took a seat right there on the ground, propped its chin with one hand, and began watching the spectacle.
Even Zhao Futu, an old fox, was somewhat unable to adapt to such an abrupt change, not to mention the various troops below.
“It looks like the one above has finished. It’s our turn to make a move.”
Seeing the bombardment come to an abrupt halt, Xiao Yuan finally showed a hint of a smile and said to several companions beside him.
“I’m finally in for a good fight. I thought I came here for nothing this time.”
Zhou Yan swung her arm and, without waiting for others to act, fused directly with the Soul of the General and charged toward the Death Legion.
Just as Zhao Futu worried, the overwhelming output from the Elemental Spirit had made the Beast Masters on their side somewhat lax.
In contrast, the Death Legion, emotionless as they were, pressed on relentlessly despite the ferocious firepower they faced, never halting.
Thus, Zhou Yan hadn’t charged far before she clashed at close quarters with the Death Legion.
“After all the experience you’ve gained, you still charge ahead as recklessly as before.”
Lu Qing pushed up her glasses, habitually muttering a critique, but her hands were swift—dozens of runes flew out from the ingenious girl’s hands, adhering to Zhou Yan’s body.
“Thanks, Qing’er~”
With the boost from the runes, Zhou Yan’s condition surged, and her assaults became even more ferocious as she headed straight into the depths of the Death Legion.
“There’s no need to worry about Zhou Yan; right now, she’s definitely the safest among us.”
Seeing the look of concern on Lu Qing’s face, Xiao Yuan smiled faintly and looked to the sky.
Above, a young man approached, his feet upon the twin spirits of Sun and Moon, accompanied by four mighty creatures akin to divine beasts.
One resembled a dragon, its body azure, its eyes seemingly containing infinite vitality.
One was entirely white, with tiger eyes sharp as knives, the gaze sweeping with pervasive killing intent.
One was wrapped in blazing flames, its crimson body like the descent of the Great Sun, raising the air temperature around it.
One moved slowly but as steady as Mount Tai, although shadows under its body stirred unease in the hearts of onlookers.
“Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Suzaku, Black Tortoise—with these four creatures born of a merger of various Elemental Beasts, aside from Bai Qi and a few others, no one of our generation can contend with Gu Shan.”
Watching Gu Shan swiftly fly toward the Death State, effortlessly obliterating the enemies beside Zhou Yan with the Four Divine Beasts, Xiao Yuan’s desire for battle intensified further.
“Let’s go; we can’t keep getting outdone by our juniors~”
Upon uttering these words, Xiao Yuan summoned the Bear Dragon and plunged into the midst of the Death Legion.
With the world having ascended, only two individuals among their group had achieved the status of Legend.
One was Gu Shan, and the other was Xiao Yuan.
After becoming a Legend, the vitality of the Death Wing Bear Dragon became even more terrifying, allowing the attacks of the Death Legion to land on its body without any hint of dodging, boldly opting for a tactic of trading injury for injury.
And the reason Xiao Yuan dared to do so stemmed from the Death Wing Bear Dragon’s innate powerful resistance to viruses.
The moment the Death Wing Bear Dragon’s attacks landed, as the Death Virus barely broke through its skin, it was squeezed out by the fat beneath, unable to even contaminate.
The advantages of being chubby were displayed to their fullest by the Bear Dragon!
“We should keep up as well.”
Seeing this, Lu Qing and the rest no longer hesitated and immediately followed suit.
“These guys are such slowpokes; I’ve been fighting here for quite a while now.” 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Seeing the others arriving belatedly, Zhou Yan couldn’t help but complain, but in the process, she was caught off guard by a Legendary Dead Beast, its slender needle-like attack shooting towards Zhou Yan like a thunderbolt breaking the void.
“Trying to sneak attack? In your dreams!”
Zhou Yan, still a Six Stage Beast Master, showed not a hint of cowardice when ambushed by the legendary Dead Beasts. Instead of retreating, he charged forward, ready to wager his life against theirs.
Hiss!
The blade pierced flesh, and blue flames rapidly climbed up the spear tip. Zhou Yan’s strike accurately hit the legendary Dead Beast, scorching its body through the wound.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yan himself remained unscathed, carefully dodging the sharp spike and then giving a wave overhead.
“Thanks a lot, Gu Shan!”
“Mhm.”
Gu Shan nodded slightly, his eyes flashed with an almost imperceptible smile, then his expression turned solemn as he looked ahead.
Because the Elemental Spirit had extinguished the fire, the legendary Dead Beasts hiding behind also appeared and began moving toward them.
“Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Suzaku, Black Tortoise, don’t let them get close.”
Gu Shan tapped his glabella lightly, and his Talent Rune Mark suddenly surfaced, as the energy aura of the four Divine Beasts climbed once more. They opened their mouths and spewed forth a blast.
Metal, wood, water, and fire—the four different elements surged out from their mouths like dragons, charging into the ranks of the Death Legion.
The Death Legion, though indifferent to life and death and even capable of regenerating after death, still needed bodies to function.
Facing such a powerful assault from the four Divine Beasts, the Dead Beasts couldn’t even muster the strength to resist before being torn to shreds.
Even the legendary Dead Beasts that attempted to get closer were left with most of their bodies ripped apart by the Divine Beasts’ attack.
Nevertheless, they didn’t cease their advance and continued to swallow the surrounding Death Virus while charging toward Gu Shan.
At the same time, the nearby Dead Beasts heeded the call and turned to charge at them.
The earlier attack from the four Divine Beasts had made them perceived as a threat, and Gu Shan needed to be dealt with first.
But before they could surround him, a barrage of attacks flew in from behind Gu Shan, blocking the path of the advancing Dead Beasts.
The clearly distinguished Element Division under the control of their respective Beast Masters orchestrated orderly bombings, perfectly executing the ancient tactic known as the Threefold Formation.
The free Elemental Creatures from the Elemental World imitated them, aligning with the Element Division’s rhythm of attack to strike at the Death Legion in unison.
For a moment, their momentum was just as formidable as it had been when the Elemental Spirit was leading them.
“Not bad, not bad, these little guys are finally learning. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to utilize their strengths properly,” the Elemental Spirit said, nodding, satisfied. Due to their special nature, the attacks of Elemental Creatures are much stronger than ordinary ones, a perfect fit for a mage’s role. Moreover, due to their energy bodies, they’re not as fragile as typical mages.
But for this very reason, most Elements liked to bombard blindly, with perhaps only the Water Element being somewhat more tactful.
Now, however, as the Elemental World’s contact with humans increased, these little ones had finally begun to understand tactics.
“Hahaha… Mutual benefits and cooperation between the Elemental World and humans will definitely be advantageous,” Zhao Futu laughed heartily, picking up from where the Elemental Spirit left off.
“Naturally, after all, the heir to the Elemental World is still among you humans,” the Elemental Spirit said with a yawn, turning to Bai Heguang beside him with a grave expression and asked, “Celestial Brilliance, what’s the matter?”
“Nothing much, just considering the battles taking place elsewhere,” Bai Heguang replied as if coming out of a trance.
“Big brother, are you worried about Cha and the others? Don’t worry; the forces on their side are no weaker than ours, and they’re likely not facing the Death Legion, so there should be no issues,” Bai Tongchen said, waving his hand dismissively.
“Mhm.”
Bai Heguang nodded slightly, his eyes once again firm with resolve.
Just moments ago, he had sensed something abnormal about Bai Qiucha’s condition, but it quickly returned to normal, likely indicating that everything was fine.
“Due to the interference of the black clouds, communication with other battlefronts isn’t very smooth, but we can confirm that we’re currently holding the advantage,” Lan Ke put down the smart device in his hand and reported, “The information network of the Association has also been spread out. If any special circumstances arise, I’ll be the first to know.”
“Since that’s the case, then we should also make haste,” Zhao Futu said, nodding lightly. Bai Tongchen immediately caught on, and a host of prehistoric beasts were summoned, marching with indomitable steps toward the Dead Beasts Corps.
Most of these were Original Beasts cultivated by the Jiuli Group, but many were native Ancient Species brought by Bai Qi.
Of course, only a pair of each species from Delta had been brought, but that didn’t stop the Jiuli Group from using their reproduction methods to easily produce a large number of Original Beasts.
Thanks to those Original Beasts “willingly” serving as breeding tools, the size of the Association’s Original Beast force had surged.
Together with the protective gear made of Star Metal, the Original Beast force had transformed into a juggernaut, plowing through everything in its path.
“Tsk tsk… who would have thought that fighting against death would be so easy and pleasant,” someone remarked.
“What a great era this is~”
