Chapter 677 The War between Man and Beast
Zhou Diheng stepped forward and finally reached the forefront of the aerial battlefield. His purple-gold eyes stared directly at the beast opposite him and said solemnly yet calmly, "Today, you, the beast, led the mutant beasts to attack the human city. Now that you are here, don't even think about leaving! Here—not a single mutant beast can escape!"
The beast understood Zhou Diheng's words and was startled by his murderous spiritual energy. Then, a raging rage of provocation and contempt washed over it. Although it instinctively feared the person before it, its anger overtook its mind. It had never seen such an arrogant human before. Did he even know how many mutant beasts there were?
At this time, two spatial cracks appeared again. On one side, the Lords of Sun City and Moon City, leading a group of Returned True Immortals, appeared above the barrier. The Lord of Sun City said in a deep voice, "It's not too late, is it? We made arrangements in the city and rushed here! We didn't expect this mutant beast to play a trick on us!"
The Lord of Yuecheng is the only woman among the nine cities. She is taciturn and calm. She nodded to Zhou Yuqian and the Lord of Yuncheng together with the Lord of Richeng. At the same time, she looked at the young master of the Zhou family in the front with complicated eyes, with admiration and a hint of fear.
The other side was Zhou Diheng's direct subordinates, as well as the lord of the fifth-ranked city and the returning real person of the cinema who followed Zhou Diheng to the Yuncheng battlefield.
At this point, all the returned true people on the human side have arrived at the Yuncheng battlefield. For a time, the combat power of the returned true people's side increased greatly and their morale was even higher.
The sudden addition of a real person made the Biao beast even more furious. It raised its head and roared, and thousands of mutant beasts followed suit. The roar shook the sky for a while, and the mutant beasts behind it obeyed the order again and became restless.
Zhou Diheng leaped into the air, and a wind blew past, making his clothes flutter and his black hair fly, and his black and gold headband fluttered with it. Zhou Diheng opened his arms, and his spiritual power and supernatural powers surged out. In an instant, the sky became dark, covered with dark clouds, and lightning and thunder flashed.
Everywhere the returning True Man saw was darkness, and the entire world was plunged into gloom.
As Zhou Diheng opened his arms, thunder filled the sky and sprinkled on the earth. In an instant, all the returned real people and mutant beasts were shrouded in purple thunder.
Zhou Diheng looked down at the mutant beast below, his pair of purple-gold eyes shot straight at the Biao beast. The huge blood-red eyes of the eighth-level Biao beast, which were originally glaring at Zhou Diheng, suddenly began to bleed bright red blood. The blood flowed out of the Biao beast's eyes like tears.
The beast roared and shook its head desperately. Its tenacious regenerative ability allowed it to slowly grow new eyes. However, this time, a layer of transparent eye membrane also grew at the same time. This eye membrane covered the beast's entire new eyeball, so that it was no longer affected by the pair of purple-gold eyes.
At this moment, all the mutant beasts were gradually enveloped by Zhou Diheng's domain. Purple lightning flashed continuously from the mutant beasts, restricting their movement. Even the eight-level beast's claws were bound by the purple lightning. The beast suddenly raised its head and stared cruelly at Zhou Diheng in the sky, with unprecedented fear and anger.
Emperor Zhou Heng spoke word by word, "Under the Thunder Realm, I alone am the Emperor! You evil beasts, dare to invade my territory? I will make sure you never return! If anyone flees, I will pursue you to the depths of the secret realm and take your life!"
Zhou Diheng's voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and spiritual pressure and purple lightning instantly filled the battlefield!
The group of mutant beasts below were horrified to find that the thunder domain was still expanding, and in a short while it had covered all the battlefields between humans and mutant beasts. What was even more terrifying was that the lightning in the thunder domain was weakening their strength. Countless mutant beasts roared angrily at this change, wanting to devour the humans opposite them.
"If we don't fight now, when will we fight?"
Zhou Diheng stretched out his right palm, and a longbow covered with purple lightning turned into a real object and was summoned out from his palm. He mobilized all the spiritual power in his body, and the purple lightning turned into arrows surrounding him, one turned into ten, ten turned into a hundred, a hundred turned into a thousand, and a thousand turned into ten thousand!
Millions of purple arrows crackled and transformed into countless purple meteors, covering the sky and rushing towards countless mutant beasts! At the same time, a thicker and longer arrow, full of spiritual power, appeared from the purple longbow in Zhou Diheng's hand, and his target was directly aimed at the beast in the front.
The Biao beast stared at Zhou Diheng closely, and the next moment its front paws moved forward alternately. At the moment when its beast domain and thunder domain collided, the Biao beast broke free from the restraint of the purple lightning, and it leaped straight towards Zhou Diheng in the air!
Zhou Diheng unleashed all the strength of his arm muscles. The bowstring radiated a full moon, purple lightning brimming over the entire arrow. With a humming sound, the arrow shot out like a meteor. The beast dodged left and right, but the arrow, as if it had eyes, tracked the beast. When it was a hundred meters away from Zhou Diheng, it pierced the beast's right foreleg! The beast raised its head and roared, sending thousands of red spikes towards Zhou Diheng!
Following Zhou Diheng's reckless arrow strike, the Lord of Yuncheng shouted, "Kill! Don't let any mutant beast go!"
"The Young Master's Thunder Domain has restricted the spiritual power of these beasts by 30%! Kill them!"
"Never let a mutant beast go!"
In contrast, densely packed mutant beasts also began to attack Fan Zhenren.
Xue Qingwu was in the deserted city on the ground, looking up at the battle between humans and beasts in the sky. In her vision, thousands and thousands of fearless and selfless returned real people rushed straight into the equally densely packed group of thousands of mutant beasts. All kinds of colorful spiritual power flows and black and gray spiritual power flows exploded like fireworks the moment they came into contact!
All the silent earth-shaking events fell into Xue Qingwu's eyes!
The semicircular barrier covering the entire city of Yuncheng was activated in an instant, and a transparent, white halo lit up. The mutant beasts that fell into the white barrier were instantly swallowed by the activated halo, and the mutant beasts could not even scream. The returning real people fell into the barrier halo after being injured, and those with spiritual powers leaped into the battlefield again. Those who were seriously injured either lay down directly or crossed their legs to heal their wounds.
The mutant beast that was swallowed by the barrier halo silently turned into new energy and charged into the barrier halo, making the barrier even more unbreakable!
Groups of mutant beasts were knocked down onto the barrier, groups of mutant beasts were swallowed up and died by the barrier's halo, groups of returned real people fell onto the barrier with either minor or serious injuries, or even worse - died directly!
On the higher battlefield, Zhou Diheng and the eighth-rank beast almost turned into two beams of light and shadow, one purple lightning, the other crimson. They collided, entangled, and then separated...
Purple lightning spread from the bow in Zhou Diheng's hand. One arrow turned into ten, ten turned into a hundred... In a flash, countless arrows attacked the beast!
The red sharp needles of the Biao beast dissipated some of the power of thunder and lightning, but it was injured again. It was extremely angry and quickly counterattacked. However, Zhou Diheng took the opportunity to release another black and gold field of his own - black hole swallowing. In an instant, the Biao beast was pulled into Zhou Diheng's black hole field.
The beast roared in the black and gold realm, and the voice that sounded neither human nor beast could be heard again: "You—have actually comprehended another realm!"
Zhou Diheng leaped into the black hole. As he entered, the entrance to the black hole gradually shrank. Within a few moments, the entrance was completely closed, and Zhou Diheng and the Beast disappeared. The Beast was incredibly powerful, and if he wasn't lured away, every clash between Zhou Diheng and the Beast would inevitably lead to casualties.
Without the suppression and leadership of their leader, the mutant beasts within the Thunder Realm fell into panic and chaos. The Thunder Realm's suppression of the mutant beasts was particularly intense, yet the purple lightning within the Thunder Realm had no effect on the Returning True Persons. It even granted spiritual power to the vulnerable Returning True Persons, choking the mutant beasts to the point of suffocation! Zhou Diheng, the young master of the Zhou family, truly controlled the Thunder Realm to his will!
The Lord of Yuncheng took advantage of the mutant beasts' chaos and raised his arms first to shout: "Masters of Yuncheng, listen to my order - besiege the mutant beasts' left flank!"
"Return to the real person in the movie city, listen to the order - siege the mutant beast on the right!"
"Sun City Return Master, listen to the order - siege the mutant beasts in the middle!"
"Master Fan of Yuecheng, listen to my orders—besiege the mutant beasts' rear!"
The Emperor's returnees brought by Zhou Diheng, together with Zhou Yuqian and others, roamed around the battlefield, filling in any weak spots in time.
Within the black hole, the beast struggled to even walk. It roared with unprecedented panic, its voice filled with unspeakable fear and helplessness. It regretted waiting until its beast domain matured before attacking the human city! But it was too late. Zhou Diheng stepped closer to the beast and, within his absolute black hole domain, completely suppressed all of its spiritual power.
Zhou Diheng raised his hand gently: "You are honored! This is the first mutant beast to experience my black hole domain! From now on, you can resist with all your strength!"
Zhou Diheng suddenly unleashed another form of his spiritual power—a black-gold spiritual power that flowed out. The beast howled miserably, its massive, five-story-tall body covered in a layer of black-gold spiritual power. As if squeezed by an invisible gravity, the beast's massive body spurted blood and bones protruded through its skin! In a moment, the beast was no longer a beast! Its miserable howls continued unabated, its body slowly turning into a pool of overly squeezed, bloody mud!
The black-gold spiritual power enveloped the entire body of the beast. Slowly, it formed a sphere, surrounding the beast. The sphere shrank smaller and smaller, and the beast's beast form could no longer be maintained, transforming into a ball of flesh. The black-gold spiritual power exerted its power again, and the ball of flesh directly turned into a blood mist and disintegrated. A moment later, the blood mist, flesh and bones dissipated, and in the center of the black-gold spiritual power, a high-level eighth-grade beast pill floated slowly! It was the beast's spiritual power inner pill!
Zhou Diheng stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the eighth-level exotic beast pill floated into his palm. Zhou Diheng looked at the eighth-level exotic beast pill, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Finally, this trip was not in vain.
Xue Qingwu looked up at the cruel war between humans and beasts in the sky. The blood of the returned real people and the flesh and blood of the mutant beasts kept spraying on the barrier in the air. It was so gorgeous and cruel!
Zhou Diheng's figure appeared in the sky again. He looked down at all the people and beasts below. In his right palm, he held the inner core of an eighth-level exotic beast. The inner core emitted a bright red light, which instantly attracted the attention of all the returning real people and mutant beasts.
Emperor Zhou Heng said solemnly, "The Beast has been destroyed! The inner elixir is here!"
"This is……"
"The inner elixir of that Biao beast!"
"Eighth-level exotic beast pill!"
The screams of the returning real people rang out one after another, and in contrast, the reaction of the mutant beasts was even more horrified. At the beginning, their bodies froze for a moment, and then they rushed around the battlefield like headless flies, trying to find a way to retreat.
Zhou Diheng held up the eighth-level exotic beast pill in one hand and released purple lightning again with the other hand. The destructive power increased, and the thunder and lightning covered the entire battlefield. Countless mutant beasts were fleeing and wailing, but were forced to turn into ashes one by one in the thunder field of purple lightning!
When all the mutant beasts on the battlefield were wiped out, the Lord of Yuncheng couldn't believe that this massive battle between humans and beasts was over like this!
Emperor Zhou Heng looked down upon the crowd and put away the eighth-rank exotic beast pill. His purple-gold eyes looked down upon all living beings. Several city lords and other high-ranking Returning True Persons all lowered their heads involuntarily.
Zhou Diheng looked down with purple-gold eyes, through the battlefield, through the mountains of mutant beast corpses, and instantly penetrated the halo of the air barrier, penetrated the long distance from the air barrier to the ground, and also penetrated the pair of green eyes with sparkling light that had been looking up at him on the ground.
Xue Qingwu on the ground was startled as if his body was frozen. Those purple-gold eyes actually caught his sight across thousands of meters in the sky and the Yuncheng aerial barrier. It was really too powerful!
Zhou Diheng's purple-gold eyes and Xue Qingwu's gaze collided through all the people and beasts. At that moment, Xue Qingwu felt a tightness in his chest that made it hard to breathe, but he couldn't move at all.
Zhou Diheng raised his sword-like eyebrows: "How interesting, there is actually a Returned True Person left on the ground, and he can even stare directly into my eyes!"
Zhou Diheng turned to the battlefield and gave the order directly: "Lord of Yuncheng, clean up the battlefield, arrange for the wounded, and deal with the aftermath!"
The Lord of Yuncheng could not help but bow and respond immediately, "Yes, Young Master! I will do my utmost to kill the remaining mutant beasts and do my utmost to restore order in Yuncheng."
Zhou Diheng glanced around and transformed into a streak of purple lightning, disappearing in an instant. He handed over all post-war matters to the Lord of Yuncheng.
After nearly a moment, the high-level return-to-truth talents on the battlefield raised their heads cautiously, and they found that the young master of the Zhou family had withdrawn from the battlefield and disappeared.
The fully armed and black-cloaked Fan Zhenren who followed Zhou Diheng had long since disappeared, leaving only the people in the cinema and Zhou Yuqian and others.
