Chapter 899: The Big Guy
Chen Huaian wasn't sure how effective this inter-realm version of the Myriad Beasts Pill in his hand would be.His Divine Soul cultivation was at the Golden Immortal level, so even if he wasn't a specialist in the Pill Dao, his alchemy still received significant enhancement. Thus, a casually refined pill could still produce a pill spirit.
Not a single ingredient in this pill was from the Cangyun Realm; it was completely different.
However, its medicinal properties and pharmacological principles were flawless.
Even so, the effects of similar pills could be unpredictable across different worlds. He could only have a general premonition.
It shouldn't be too exaggerated.
Although Bixixi still had doubts in her heart, she was a pragmatic person.
Since Chen Huaian had already refined this so-called "pill," they might as well test it.
"Deploy the formation."
She waved a hand, her voice lazy and somewhat careless.
Over a dozen Battle Soul Hall elites swiftly scattered, seemingly taking up advantageous positions, but the distance between them was quite large. Clearly, they didn't take the impending "small fry" seriously. In their view, this was just a slightly larger hunting trip.
Chen Huaian glanced at this loose and sloppy formation and kindly reminded her, "Your Holiness, if the Beast Tide is too dense, this kind of positioning will be instantly overwhelmed."
"Overwhelmed?"
Bixixi chuckled lightly, her scepter tapping the ground gently, releasing a faint, fluctuating pressure belonging to a Legendary Battle Master.
"You underestimate the Battle Soul Hall too much."
"As long as it's not a Divine Beast personally arriving, even a Legion of Thousands is nothing but clay chickens and pottery dogs before This Venerable One."
Hearing this, Chen Huaian offered no further advice.
Good advice is wasted on those destined to die.
He glanced at Li Qingran, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Since that's the case, then he would just take his little disciple and enjoy the show.
"Then... let's begin."
*Snap.*
Chen Huaian raised his hand and struck with his palm. The floating **[Celestial-grade Myriad Beasts Pill]** instantly shattered.
It didn't turn to powder but transformed into an incredibly dense cloud of pale golden mist.
Immediately after.
*Whoosh—*
A strand of golden-red Phoenix True Fire ignited this mist.
*Boom!*
As the mist exploded, a medicinal fragrance spread outwards.
Pale golden ripples swept outwards in all directions at an astonishing speed. Wherever they passed, plants and trees grew wildly, and the air distorted.
That massive medicinal potency, a blend of hallucinogenic and frenzied effects, riding on the wind, instantly covered the entire Starry Sky Great Forest.
Deep within the Starry Sky Great Forest.
By the originally silent Jadewater Lake.
*ROAR!!!*
An ear-shattering roar shattered the tranquility.
The hundred-thousand-year Purple-Gold Flame Bear suddenly reared up on its hind legs. The moment it smelled that extraordinary fragrance, its eyes became bloodshot.
What it saw was no longer trees, but fellow bears challenging it, and... mountains of honey piled high.
"Kill! Kill! Eat! Eat!"
It frantically beat its chest like an out-of-control tank, smashing through giant trees that would take several people to encircle, and charged madly towards the source of the scent.
Meanwhile, in the lake.
*Splash!*
The hundred-thousand-year Jadewater Jiao soared into the sky. The usual calm in its golden vertical pupils was gone, replaced by extreme madness.
"Who? Who dares touch my eggs?!"
It too saw illusions—countless humans snatching its offspring.
"Die! All of you die!!"
And between them.
Little Rabbit's body trembled violently.
Although she had taken human form and had some resistance to this medicinal power targeting World Beast instincts.
That fragrance was too domineering. It was like an invisible hand tearing at her soul.
"No... this is a trap... can't go..."
She bit her lip hard, trying to stay clear-headed.
But the next second.
Her gaze became dazed.
In the hazy mist, she saw a familiar figure.
Gentle, beautiful, beckoning to her.
"Mother..."
Tears streamed from Little Rabbit's eyes.
"Mother, is that you?"
She no longer resisted. Like a puppet whose strings had been cut, she stumbled and staggered, following the bear and the jiao towards the forest's outer edge.
Viewed from high above.
The entire Starry Sky Great Forest completely boiled over at this moment.
Countless black dots converged from all directions—those were tens of thousands of World Beasts.
Thousand-year Wind Wolves, ten-thousand-year Ghost Tigers, fifty-thousand-year Human-Faced Sows...
They abandoned the enmity between natural enemies, forgot territorial boundaries, and even ignored hierarchical suppression.
They had only one target in their eyes—the source of that scent that made their very souls tremble.
The earth shook.
A rumbling sound like muffled thunder rolled underground, getting closer and louder.
By the riverbank.
The confidence on Bixixi's face finally showed a flicker of something amiss when the first wave of beast roars reached her.
"This commotion..."
She frowned, looking towards the distant woods.
*Crack!*
*Boom!*
Countless ancient trees toppled like dominoes.
Immediately after.
A black tide appeared.
It wasn't water; it was an endless sea of World Beasts.
They were like madmen, eyes blood-red, drool dripping from their mouths, charging towards this place with a momentum that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth.
"ROAR!!!"
The roars merged into a continuous cacophony, painfully vibrating eardrums.
"This... there are too many?!"
A Battle Soul Hall elite turned pale, his hand holding his weapon trembling.
"Don't panic!"
Bixixi shouted loudly, raising her scepter high.
"Form up! Kill!"
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
Multicolored Battle Technique lights exploded amidst the Beast Tide.
It must be said, the Battle Soul Hall elites were indeed formidable.
The first wave of thousand-year, ten-thousand-year World Beasts charging up fell like wheat before a scythe, their corpses piling up like mountains.
But...
The Beast Tide had no end.
Trampling over their companions' bodies, more World Beasts charged forward.
Moreover, as time passed, the arriving World Beasts grew stronger.
Thirty-thousand years... fifty-thousand years... eighty-thousand years...
The originally loose defensive line appeared so fragile at this moment.
"Ah!!"
A scream.
An elite had his shield shattered by an eighty-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and was torn to pieces.
The defensive line was broken.
"Damn it!"
Bixixi's face turned ashen.
She hadn't expected this so-called "pill fragrance" to have such terrifying effects!
This wasn't luring; this was poking the World Beasts' nest!
Right at that moment.
*ROAR—!!!*
Two earth-shaking roars drowned out all other beast cries.
A purple-gold flame giant bear and a hundred-zhang-long jadewater flood dragon descended like two mountains, one on the left, one on the right.
Hundred-thousand-year World Beasts!
And two of them!
The madness in their eyes surpassed the other beasts. They unleashed their killing moves immediately upon arrival.
"Humans!! Die!!"
Bixixi's pupils constricted sharply.
She could no longer care about her subordinates' survival. The fallen angel phantom behind her instantly spread its six wings, wielding a dark holy sword as she charged forward to meet them.
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM—!!!*
One person, fighting two beasts alone.
The battlefield instantly turned white-hot.
Meanwhile, at the edge of the battlefield.
Within a pale golden light barrier, all was peaceful.
Chen Huaian had long since deployed a "Concealment Array" the moment things started, completely isolating his and Li Qingran's auras.
Those frenzied World Beasts were like blind creatures, rushing past them, yet completely ignoring the two of them.
"Tsk tsk."
Chen Huaian crossed his arms, watching the bloody carnage outside, secretly clicking his tongue.
"Isn't this medicinal potency... a bit too strong?"
Li Qingran hid behind him, her little face somewhat pale.
She spotted a figure within the Beast Tide.
Little Rabbit.
The girl walked like a wandering spirit amidst the frenzied beast horde, aimlessly, still calling out for her mother.
Several times, she was almost trampled to death by other World Beasts, but those beasts seemed to intentionally avoid her.
"Husband..."
Li Qingran tugged at Chen Huaian's sleeve, feeling somewhat uneasy.
"Do we really have to... kill that rabbit to take her ring?"
"Although she's a World Beast... she's already taken human form, and she's not a bad person."
"Killing her... isn't that a bit inhumane?"
Hearing this, Chen Huaian turned his head to look at her, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly.
This girl, she really is too kind-hearted.
"If you don't want to kill her, then we won't."
He rubbed Li Qingran's head, his tone casual.
"Then..." Li Qingran pointed at the bear and jiao currently being pummeled by Bixixi, "What about those two? They're hundred-thousand-year ones, and they've lost their minds now. Killing them seems easy."
"Also unnecessary."
Chen Huaian shook his head.
He narrowed his eyes, his gaze piercing through the chaotic Beast Tide, landing on the unfathomably deep core region of the Starry Sky Great Forest.
There, an extremely obscure, extremely ancient aura was slowly awakening.
The strength of that aura even gave him, with his Golden Immortal Divine Soul, a sense of long-unfelt... trepidation.
"A mere hundred-thousand-year World Ring..."
Chen Huaian shook his head, "Your Master feels a hundred-thousand-year World Ring would be utterly useless for Your Master's recovery."
"Then what do we do?" Li Qingran was dumbfounded.
A hundred-thousand-year ring isn't good enough?
That's already the top-tier World Ring, isn't it?
Although there are ones above it—several hundred-thousand-year and million-year ones—those are as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns across the entire continent.
This is only Master's second World Ring. Could it be that all the following ones need to be million-year rings?
"Don't worry, Disciple."
He pointed towards the depths of the forest, saying mysteriously,
"The real big one..."
"Is about to arrive."
