Heaven? Hell?
Legend of Star Peak Chapter Eleven: Heaven or Hell?
The vast, primordial Primordial Era welcomed guests from the East! Or perhaps it should be said that it welcomed hunters!
At this time, the Li Family, the Shi Family, the Yuwen Family, and the imperial court—four independent forces—had arrived in Primordial Era. Simultaneously, four allied forces also arrived: the Jin Kingdom allied forces, the Liao Kingdom allied forces, the Earl Lineage allied forces, and the Goryeo allied forces.
The boundless Primordial Era, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, meant that there was virtually no need for competition among the eight major powers. The area was simply too vast; they would be lucky to seize even one percent of the Primordial Era's resources!
Looking at the enormous bear before him, Yelu Hongfan, the leader of the Liao Kingdom allied forces, smiled with the air of a superior being. Pointing his Yelu Hongfan right finger forward, he elegantly declared, "Gentlemen, ahead lies a rare and enormous bear. Such a large bear pelt will surely be worth a fortune. It will belong to us!"
The representatives of various forces belonging to the Liao Kingdom beside them nodded, their eyes shining with a strange light as they looked at the countless powerful bears.
This Strength Bear Pack numbered in the tens of thousands, but among these groups, which were mainly composed of Innate Master, they were truly unconcerned about the attacks of these ferocious beasts. How could wild animals compare to human experts? What they cared about was whether the fur was valuable, and it was clear that the Power Bears' enormous size would make the fur very valuable.
But they forgot that this is not the East, this is the Primordial Era, a primordial Primordial Era full of miracles!
"Look, over there in the distance, yes, that's the area to the south, isn't that Ganoderma lucidum? My God, so many Ganoderma lucidum, is this paradise?" Yelu Hongfan exclaimed in surprise, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Oh my God, this is truly paradise!" A representative of one of the factions murmured, looking at the four-meter-tall Li Xiong and then at the huge area to the south covered with Ganoderma lucidum.
The representatives of each faction wore expressions of excitement; this was paradise, a paradise overflowing with gold.
"Attack!" Yelu Hongfan softly issued the attack order, and a large force behind him immediately rushed towards the Strength Bear Pack. Each expert held a weapon made of black iron.
Seeing this, the representatives of the other factions were not to be outdone, and they all shouted, "Charge! Be careful not to damage the fur!"
Around ten thousand skilled warriors from the Liao Kingdom charged forward. Yelu Hongfan and his leaders, of course, simply watched the spectacle unfold.
"Roar!" The four-meter-tall bear was furious when it saw a group of tiny people charging towards them, and it raised its huge bear paw to go over.
"Pfft—"
Blood splattered, and bear heads flew everywhere!
Lie, the top expert of the Yelü family, severed the bear's head with a single stroke. Lie was shocked to find his right hand trembling. "Heavens! How can this bear's defense be so high? It took me all my strength to cut off its head!"
"Brothers, watch out! This bear has incredibly high defense, don't try to cut off its head!" Lie shouted loudly, but it was too late!
One by one, the experts seemed to be imitating Lie, all slashing at the bear's head. The strong ones used all their strength to cut it off, while those with slightly weaker strength could only have their weapons stuck at the bear's head! They were later torn into several pieces by the ferocious bear.
In a short time, dozens of skilled fighters died ahead. Those behind immediately realized the bear's defensive posture and began to act cautiously.
"Roar--"
The enraged bears, upon discovering that dozens of their companions had been killed, went berserk, their massive paws flailing wildly.
"Bang!"
A powerful bear struck a master with its paw, splitting his body in two and sending blood flying everywhere.
Another expert dodging the attacks of several powerful bears failed to notice a bear appearing behind him! With a loud "bang!"
This expert was slapped into a pulp from top to bottom!
Yelu Hongfan was horrified to discover that over a hundred of his men had died. He immediately roared, "Everyone, gather together and form a battle formation! Don't attack individually!" He finally realized that even the gold of this paradise wasn't so easy to take!
Representatives from other factions also noticed this scene and immediately ordered their forces to gather together and attack.
"These giant bears swing their paws way too fast!" Yelu Hongfan was horrified to discover that the bears were wielding their enormous paws like a whirlwind, killing one expert after another who couldn't dodge in time!
How could they know that many ferocious beasts in the Primordial Era could only be outwitted, not outfighted? The Power Bear is an absolutely powerful beast with high defense and strong attack, but it is not fast in movement. Although its body is not fast, only its bear paws can move fast!
If a force containing several thousand or even tens of thousands of kilograms were to strike a person, unless that person was at the first level of cultivation and had to defend themselves with all their might, the only outcome would be death.
To form an array?
You'll die even faster!
The bears roared and brandished their enormous paws, smashing wildly at the crowd!
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
One by one, the experts were smashed into mincemeat. Even when attacked, a single powerful bear could still kill several experts before it died! Its enormous paws were like giant hammers, smashing relentlessly!
"My God! Just a moment ago the death ratio was one to one, but now even more are dying!" Yelu Hongfan realized with anguish that his strategy had been wrong! In just a few minutes, hundreds of his men had already died!
"Retreat! Run east!" Yelu Hongfan suddenly realized what was happening and immediately roared.
One by one, the experts immediately ran eastward.
Representatives of other forces in the Liao Kingdom also suffered the same fate, and one by one they cried out to flee...
But would the powerful bears, who had lost many of their companions, just let them go?
"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!"...
Tens of thousands of powerful bears roared as they charged toward the creatures that had killed their comrades, their enormous feet causing the ground to tremble.
The only saving grace was that the human experts' lightness skills were still useful. This bear's movement speed was not fast to begin with, and these experts were lucky enough to escape with their lives!
"Stupid, stupid! Stupid! Don't you know how to use a bow and arrow?" Yelu Hongfan suddenly roared. At this moment, he was under great psychological pressure. Several hundred of his disciples had died in one fell swoop, which was almost one-fifth of his strength!
Bows and arrows—who knew the Power Bear was so terrifying? They all excitedly charged forward, but by the time they reached the Power Bear, would they even have time to raise their bows and shoot?
Everyone was a little frustrated. The bear paw they had just encountered had left them with an indelible fear. Facing a bear paw meant only one outcome: being smashed into mincemeat. That kind of death made even these fearless experts tremble with fear.
Of course, they were not the only ones to suffer such a result.
The Jin Kingdom's allied forces encountered Azure Wolf Pack. They were thrilled; those blue wolves, twice the size of ordinary wolves, were like piles of silver to them!
One by one, they roared and charged forward!
Unfortunately, they didn't know that the Azure Wolf Pack was one of the major overlords of the First Region. The reason it was able to become one of the major overlords of the First Region was because they were united, they were not afraid of death, and they were fast, not just fast, but even faster than the experts from the Jin Kingdom!
The sharpness of the Azure Wolf Claw surpasses that of the Black Iron weapon.
"Hiss—" "Hiss—" "Hiss—" "Hiss—"...
A series of chilling sounds rang out as the blue wolf claws easily tore open the chests of the Jin Kingdom experts... One by one, as the Jin Kingdom experts killed one blue wolf, they were cruelly torn apart by another!
"Those wolves are terrifying. Their defenses aren't great either, so how can they be so fearless?" a representative of the Jin Kingdom said in anguish.
Yes, these blue wolves are fearless. One of them will go to its death and hold off the opponent, while the other kills the opponent!
"Retreat!" "Retreat!" "Retreat!" "Retreat!" "Retreat!"...
One of the representatives was shouting frantically, and every expert immediately began to flee. Unfortunately, the blue wolves were not slow like the powerful bears; they were extremely fast. In the process of fleeing, even more experts died than in the previous battle!
They had no way out but to run frantically...
They finally reached the desert. To their relief, the blue wolves only chased them to the edge of the Primordial Era before stopping. At the same time, they felt strange. Why did the blue wolves only go to the edge? One more step and they would have entered the desert. Why didn't they go any further?
Could it be that ferocious beasts from the Primordial Era cannot enter the desert? This was the first judgment of the experts of the Jin Kingdom!
After experiments, the Jin Kingdom team finally confirmed that the ferocious beasts of the Primordial Era could not enter the desert. This fact saved their lives many times! Although they lost a great many experts this time, discovering this secret was well worth it!
The Li Family is probably the one suffering the most among the eight major powers!
Several thousand people faced the Golden Thorn Rat Beast, but they had no way to deal with it. The Golden Thorn Rat Beast was covered in golden spikes, which clearly contained a lot of gold and other metals, making the spikes extremely sharp!
The Golden Thorn Rat Beast wasn't large, only about the size of an ordinary cheetah, but what attracted the Li Family the most was its fur. If this fur were made into armor, how terrifying that would be! The sharp golden thorns were densely packed, making its defensive capabilities even surpass those of the Xuan Tie Armor!
You should know that a piece of Xuan Tie armor costs several thousand taels of silver, and it is obvious that it is not as beautiful or powerful as this armor made of fur!
The most terrifying thing about the Golden Thorn Rat Beast isn't that! It's actually—
A Golden Thorn Rat Beast was slashed in its only weakest point—its abdomen. As the Golden Thorn Rat Beast its life force draining away, it suddenly let out a low growl!
"Hiss--"
Suddenly, the golden thorns on the Golden Thorn Rat Beast shot out like a dense barrage of hidden weapons at the Li Family experts, shooting at an extremely fast speed and with an extremely dense barrage!
Several experts died instantly!
Yes, the most troublesome thing about the Golden Thorn Rat Beast is this last move! The golden thorns are only ten centimeters long and very thin, but a single Golden Thorn Rat Beast probably has more than ten thousand golden thorns. The speed at which they are shot out in an instant far exceeds the speed of a bow and arrow, and the Li Family experts fighting against them simply do not have time to react!
Moreover, without the golden thorns, the fur of the Golden Thorn Rat Beast is of little value.
The leader of the Li Family watched all this with frustration. Two hundred of the Li Family's experts had already died, and he could only painfully order, "Retreat!"
The Shi Family has lost over a hundred top fighters; retreat!
More than two hundred of the Li Family's top fighters have died; they are retreating!
The Yuwen Family has lost over a hundred experts; retreat!
The Jin Kingdom suffered over nine hundred casualties (most of whom were killed by Qinglang during their retreat), and then they retreated!
The Liao Kingdom forces have lost over seven hundred experts; they are retreating!
The Earl's Lineage and their allied forces have lost over six hundred elites. Retreat!
More than 400 skilled fighters from the island nation of Goryeo have died. Retreat!
The imperial court has lost fewer than a hundred top-tier warriors. Retreat!
Among them, only the imperial court, being warriors of the Vanguard Camp, cooperated extremely skillfully in the face of all this, resulting in the fewest deaths.
Is this heaven? Or should it be described as heaven for the strong and hell for the weak? Are they strong? Right now, they seem to be weak!
Zhang Xingfeng watched all this from among the clouds, a slight smile on his face, "Hmm... the imperial court's Vanguard Camp troops are indeed elite. They suffered the fewest deaths but hunted the most beasts. It seems that the eight major powers will learn their lesson after this!"
Zhang Xingfeng turned around and looked at the second area.
At this moment, groups of Seven Star Big Dipper Sword Array roamed the second area. Although each of the Demon Beast was stronger than these 78th generation disciples who had just reached the Golden Core Stage, Demon Beast could only choose to flee or die when faced with the Seven Star Big Dipper Sword Array.
Completely crushing everything in its path!
One by one, the individual Demon Beast were killed. Their inner cores were extracted, and their pelts were collected!
Silver Wolf, Electric Beast... these groups of Demon Beast also acted collectively. When faced with all this, the disciples of the Tianxin Sect were not panicked at all. The seven teams that approached immediately formed a huge Seven Star Big Dipper Sword Array, which was extremely powerful!
If a Golden Core Stage disciple has only one attack power, then a small Seven Star Big Dipper Sword Array has nearly 20 attack power, while a giant Seven Star Big Dipper Sword Array composed of 49 people has nearly 300 attack power!
Most importantly, they were close together, so the area they were attacked was small. They only had to face a few dozen Demon Beast. Under the giant Seven Star Big Dipper Sword Array, the few dozen Demon Beast couldn't even make a ripple before being annihilated!
Zhang Xingfeng nodded in satisfaction, pleased with his disciples' performance. Zhang Xingfeng then turned to look at the dejected eight major powers, a smile appearing on his face, "Hmm... Shouldn't we show you what a true master is?"
At this moment, the disciples of the Tianxin Sect were still fighting with the Demon Beast, completely unaware that their patriarch had already plotted against them. Perhaps, if they knew about this plan, the disciples of the Tianxin Sect would gladly carry it out!
