For the next couple of missions, Ye Tian was able to reign supreme over the other beasts he fought against. Xiang Jiao didn’t look interested, but he had already laid out trap arrays and was ready to support throughout the whole time Ye Tian was fighting. During this time, Xiang Jiao realized that Ye Tian was stronger than him….by quite a bit. Strong and yet humble, Xiang Jiao thought when he looked at Ye Tian. But when he looked at Ma Qian, he could only think of one thing – gay! It’s not that he had a problem with this, but he grew up in a temple and there were no intimate relationships among girls and guys. This was just something he’s not used to. He has read a couple of books that mentioned lovers between man and a woman were the norm, and lovers between men and another men or women with another women were more of a rare occurrences. Xiang Jiao thought deeply…..which one would he have chose if he was in a similar situation – being intimate with a man or a woman?
Ma Qian regained his consciousness, only to see a slightly sharp and angular object just a few inches away from the front of his eyes. His vision was blurry, but by the time his vision became clearer, the sharp object have already descended quite a bit.
“You’re awake,” Xiang Jiao said. He was still thinking about those intimate books he came across, which released something that he had never experienced before. He always thought that little snake below him was always dead. Never did he thought it could become bigger. He felt a bit happy inside, which turned his mood more positively. Since Ma Qian couldn’t see clearly, he didn’t think anything of it. Ma Qian asked, “Are we able to finish the other two missions?”
“Don’t worry, Ye Tian is taking care of it. We’re actually on our last mission and he should be done in a few moments,” Xiang Jiao replied while watching the battle cautiously. Ma Qian got up as he watched Ye Tian battle. He was getting prepared to summon his vines to support Ye Tian, but a few breaths later, a painful sound was heard.
“Auuuurrgg, aurgrhhh, aurrghgh.”
The sound came from the beast. She was on her last breath staring at Ye Tian with so much hatred. A little while later, she fell to the ground without moving ever again. Ye Tian collected the monster core and put the body inside the storage ring. Xiang Jiao and Ma Qian walked towards him, and said, “Great job!”
“No big deal, the first mission was the most difficult one and I couldn’t have done it without your help,” Ye Tian responded. Although he felt a bit annoyed that he had to do all the heavy work, he understood the others were weaker than him.
Now it was time to head back towards the city, so they can collect their first rewards from the guild centre. Things went smoothly for a few miles until they felt the ground shaking. It felt like a giant was approaching them. Ma Qian communicated with his vines from the underground, shocked to the bones.
“Shit…run now! a wild beast much stronger than an infinite dao realm is coming towards us,” Ma Qian warned quickly. The group ran as quickly as they could. They needed to get out of the forest, because most often wild beasts won’t come out of the forest. The forest provided a better environment for the wild beasts to cultivate and nurture than the outside world.
They kept running but the beast was getting closer and closer! They knew they couldn’t make it out of the forest in time, so they started to prepare their strongest attacks and took out some life-saving artifacts.
A new battle begins, but this time their life is on the line!
Ma Qian summons all the vines he could muster and merge it into one incredibly strong circular shield with curved spikes around it. Xiang Jiao summons his beads. The beads from his back begin to separate into two bracelets and surround Xiang Jiao’s forearms. The bracelet beads start to spin rapidly looking like a glowing halo. Ye Tian summons a flame wall and water swords appear floating in the air waiting to strike their target. The beast continues to head towards Ye Tian’s group.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
The beast had the face of a black bull with two horns on the forehead and another curved horn on the chin area. His body was shaped like a white snake measuring at 10 meters long with a tail that’s shaped like a black scythe. Beneath the body, there were several mouths ready to eat its prey! This beast was recorded as the “King Earth Bull,” with a similar cultivation at the peak of the infinite dao realm.
The beast charges forward and passes through the fire with minimal burn injuries to his body. Xiang Jiao dashes forward bravely while his halo beads are spinning like crazy. The spinning halo has a screeching-like sound to the ears. Xiang Jiao’s beads are gathering massive energy power until he was close to the beast, then punches forward 10 meters away from the beast. Halo beams start shooting out and hits the eyes of the beast.
“Roarrrr.”
The beast feels the pain and uses his forehead horns to stab at Xiang Jiao, but luckily Ma Qian arrives in front of Xiang Jiao with his vine shields and blocks the horns. The vine shield disintegrates from the heavy impact. Both Xiang Jiao and Ma Qian flies backward heavily, but Ma Qian is already whispering where his vine shield reforms and starts spinning. The vine shield spins, shoots forward, and cuts one of the forehead horns in half and gets stuck cutting halfway at the other horn. Ye Tian showers the beast with his water swords like a falling stars.
Boom. Baam. Boom…booom…..bammm…booomm.
Some of the water swords are deflected and explodes to the ground. A few of them is able to cut deep skins on the beast’s body and face. Although the beast is cut and is injured, it is too powerful. Ye Tian then unleashes the water dragon and bites into one of the legs while Xiang Jiao dashes forward again protected by Ma Qian’s vines. This time Xiang Jiao punches the beast’s forehead. As it touches, the halo beads makes a unique trembling sound.
WHimm….whimmmmmm………..KABOOMMMMMM!
The energy unleashes like a nuclear impact. The ground shakes, the beast feels his mind is about to explode from the immense pressure of the halo beam, then crashes to the ground violently. However, the beast tries to counter with a tail swipe but Xiang Jiao uses his other arm where the halo beads makes another pressuring sound that pushes him off away from the beast like a rocket. The halo beads has multiple functions, with one of them giving Xiang Jiao a temporary speed boost towards any direction.
The beast summons his scythe tail and almost cuts the water dragon in half. But the water dragon reacts quickly in time and releases his bite, but snaps at the incoming scythe tail. However, the current motion causes the water dragon to be off balance and crashes to another area.
All three are out of energy because they have spent all their energy defending for their lives, but it was not enough.
The beast stands up again after recovering from the dizziness and targets Ye Tian. Ma Qian unleashes a web of vines but the beast breaks through it. Xiang Jiao pounds the ground and the earth erects a spiked wall, but the beast is able to break through again. Ye Tian is on one knee and knows he has nothing to counter, but he remembers the time he met Tian Ren from the other dimension.
“Hahaha, don’t worry. This pearl is integrated with your heart. If you call upon it, a heavenly divine beast will come out and help you. At the least, it will help you escape for sure,” Tian Ren confidently said.
Ye Tian, closes his eyes and calls upon the divine beast from his heart. The sky suddenly turns white, and lightning starts appearing. The clouds starts rotating like a whirlpool and forms a word, “Heavenly Beast.” A huge purple lightning pierces through the cloudy word and strikes the ground.
Sparks flow through the air current, and a heavy mist is surrounding a small area. Vr……..VRoommmmmm!
Unable to see clearly through the mist and sparks. A shadow of a gigantic Liger appears with a massive body, muscular legs and arms, tail of a dragon!
Snoorrrkkkkkkkkkk!
The beast walks outside the the foggy area. Now everyone can see the beast!
Ye Tian looks speechless. Xiang Jiao feels helpless. Ma Qian’s eyes are felt with extreme intense.
As the beast started to walk into visibility, the head appeared like a white-colored pig. Next appeared the body, which looked like a miniature version of a hippopotamus but with small wings. Then a small tail appeared that kept twirling like a helicopter. This beast walked slowly forward like he was the king! The aura that was supposed to be like a divine beast was not there.
“Snorrkkkkkk, hufff, hufff.”
This heavenly divine beast, the heavens call him, “Pigopotomaus!”
