The Sealed Beast King
Central Lantiao Continent, inland region.
This is the end of the sea of Sea of Sand, where the desert is blocked by a vast forest.
The heat was somewhat dispelled, but the shade of the trees only provided a little coolness; the place remained stuffy due to the lack of wind.
Chi An practiced ease, seemingly unaffected by the temperature, still dressed in a black robe.
The large hood concealed his unusually large ears and his bloodshot eyes devoid of any emotion.
Suddenly, a dark shadow darted out of the bushes and headed straight for Chi An's head.
Chi An instinctively stopped in his tracks and quickly retreated, a sharp dagger now appearing in his hand.
Seeing him retreat, the thing turned in mid-air and flew towards his face again.
This time, Chi An what it was.
An eyeball.
A blood-red eyeball, with patterns almost identical to those in Chi An's pupil.
A long-absent emotion reappeared on Chi An's face.
It was a feeling called astonishment.
This time, the eyeball flew at an even faster speed, Chi An had no time to dodge.
The next moment, the eyeball rushed into Chi An's eye socket, merging with the "native" that was already there.
Instantly, intense pain surged into my brain and swept through my entire body.
Chi An stood there, his body convulsing uncontrollably, but showing no sign of collapsing.
His body's intense rejection of external objects caused his Psychic Energy to surge wildly.
Beneath the black robe, a slender, frail body was constantly torn apart and regenerated, torn apart and regenerated.
The good news is, he won't die.
The bad news is, he won't die.
He was tied to the edge of a cliff of death.
They constantly felt the presence of death, yet could not reach the seemingly peaceful valley floor.
But he's already used to it.
Chi An didn't even make a sound.
In his subconscious, the voice belonged to those damned experimental personnel and dying experimental subjects.
No one had ever told him that his voice was a tool for expressing himself and conveying his emotions.
All he knew was that screaming and howling was the standard for the weak.
The pain continued to torment Chi An's body, but after a while, he got used to the feeling.
The convulsions stopped, and the stopped steps resumed.
In any case, staying in the forest for an extended period of time is never safe.
Moreover, now that the Beastfolk Insect Race have launched an attack on Shahai City.
If he's not careful, he might be discovered by spies hidden everywhere.
Following the original plan, Chi An continued walking forward.
There was no indication that various tears were still appearing on the body beneath the black robe.
Meanwhile, the fighting near the eastern city wall of Shahai City intensified.
Demon Race soldiers began arriving at the battlefield in droves.
They wielded superior weapons, and their average cultivation level was slightly higher than that of the Insect Race.
Therefore, they were able to barely hold off the surging Insect Race and keep them outside the city.
In the sky, winged Demon Race spread their wings, like a flock of fierce falcons, firmly locking onto their prey.
Their sharp feathers and various ranged weapons rained down on the Insect Race's membranous wings.
These attacks are precise and deadly; once the Insect Race's membranous wings are ruptured, they fall from the sky.
Not only will they not survive, but they will also injure their own kind, thus disrupting the entire insect swarm's offensive rhythm.
Taking advantage of the chaos among the Insect Race, the Demon Race soldiers who charged in from both sides of the insect swarm quickly seized the opportunity.
They ruthlessly reaped the Insect Race that had already thrown the enemy into disarray.
He was agile and swift with his sword, each strike capable of taking the life of an Insect Race.
On the city wall, Psychic Energy Cannons were aimed at the vicinity of the wall, hunting down the Insect Race that were attacking it.
Behind the swarm of insects, a heavy Ministry of War composed of Beastfolk and Insect Race was turning around aggressively, preparing to charge again.
These heavy cavalrymen were well-equipped and powerful, representing the elite force of the Insect Race.
Whether it was sword strikes or flying arrows, ordinary Demon Race soldiers could not break through their defenses.
However, the Demon Race was clearly prepared for the heavy Ministry of War.
Behind the swarm of insects, an Undying Legion composed of some strange beasts suddenly appeared.
The strange beasts they rode were only at or around the Second Realm of the Profound Realm.
But they exuded a chilling aura, like demons from hell.
They resemble upright-walking crocodiles, or ostriches with huge mouthparts.
The three-meter height allowed the Demon Race soldiers riding on it to look down at the enemy from a superior position.
The sharp claws and teeth had a faint dark tinge at their tips, which was the toxins secreted by these beasts themselves.
It is not lethal, but it can effectively paralyze its prey.
On the battlefield, being paralyzed and losing strength is tantamount to death.
Even worse, they might be captured.
The Ministry of War of the two forces faced each other amidst the swirling sandstorm.
All I could hear were shouts of battle, the hissing of the Insect Race, and the explosions of artillery shells.
Battle is imminent.
Just then, a massive sandstorm suddenly began to fall.
The strong winds stopped, and the discomfort from inhaling sand and grit through the nose subsided.
The dim light was replaced by a thick, hazy fog that enveloped the entire battlefield.
Shisui gently flapped its two wings, shaking off the fine dust.
With his Kakugan wide open, a surge of Psychic Energy instantly filled the entire area.
Shisui is currently searching for the Eye of Madness from the Laboratory director's memory.
Clearly, the eyeball escaped during the chaos.
Even Shisui didn't know when it left the Laboratory.
"Tsk!"
What was almost within his grasp slipped away, and a hint of regret flashed in Shisui's eyes.
His gaze shifted and landed on the soldiers who, despite realizing something was wrong, were still frantically attacking each other.
Since we're already here, we can't leave empty-handed.
The Psychic Energy within his body began to surge, and the Rc Cells, sensing Shisui's predatory intent, became excitedly active.
A thin Koukaku covered Shisui's body, and a half-face mask without any decoration appeared on his face.
Eight Bikaku forth from his body, gradually expanding as he swung them.
The two enormous pairs of Ukaku spread out, the Composite Radiant Feathers assembled, and flew towards their prey.
Deep within the Lantiao Continent, inside the Beastfolk Main Lineage.
In the center of the territory, a colossal creature slumbered like a moon surrounded by stars.
Even when lying down, He was still taller than those seven-story buildings in the distance.
This is the Beast King Qiongqi.
Encased in layers of golden chains, His exact appearance was obscured.
It can only be vaguely seen that it resembles a fierce tiger with two wings on its back.
Suddenly, the Beast King seemed to sense something, and several eyes on its body slowly opened a crack.
Vaguely visible within, one could discern a captivating red.
A unique Psychic Energy wave rippled out, and then the golden chains instantly erupted with dazzling light.
The Beast King was suppressed, and his eyes closed once more.
