Hell Brutalizes Three Beasts

"Damn human, I'll kill you!"

Xiong Jun could not stand being suppressed so easily by a human. He immediately roared in rage and reverted to his true form: a giant brown bear fifteen meters tall, covered in a dense, thick coat of dark golden fur.

His arms reached past his knees, giving them the appearance of Claws of Benevolence and Claws of Righteousness.

But even after he returned to his true form, the terrifying pressure still bore down on him, preventing him from using Soul Power to float. He could barely even remain standing.

Even so, Xiong Jun gritted his teeth and stepped forward, advancing toward Hell one step at a time before swinging up his bear claws.

Xiong Jun's powerful muscles bulged, and his thick arms spread out at his sides.

With a furious roar, he suddenly raised his Dark Gold Dreadclaws high. A fierce golden light poured from all his fur, and for a moment, he shone in the forest like a sun.

His roar was deep and powerful, like muffled thunder rolling through the air, making Bai Jingtian and Yan Shaozhe, who stood nearby, both grunt.

Yet faced with the powerful attack Xiong Jun was clearly charging, Hell made no unnecessary moves. Instead, he glanced at Di Tian and the Myriad Demon King, who were still in human form, resisting the pressure he was casually releasing. His gaze seemed to ask:

Are you two still not going to make a move?

Seeing Hell treat him with such contempt, Xiong Jun grew even angrier. The intense golden light around him suddenly converged on his claws, turning their dark golden blades a dazzling, brilliant gold.

On the surface of those sharp blades, every human and Soul Beast present could clearly see halos rippling like water. At last, the golden light settled on the blades.

"Die, you human putting on airs and playing tricks!"

Xiong Jun roared as his claws cleaved down toward Hell and Bai Jingtian, as though splitting heaven and earth apart.

Ten golden blades, each nearly a hundred meters long, swept through the air from his Dark Gold Dreadclaws. Wherever they passed, they tore ten enormous gashes in space, and the terrifying Dark Gold Dreadclaws came straight down at Hell.

"So that's how it is. The space in this world really is fragile. In that case, I'll use twenty thousand horses of power."

Hell watched Xiong Jun's space-rending strike with interest, as though recalling a certain video game he had played after establishing Heaven. Then he raised his right hand lightly.

"Twenty thousand horses of power, Sword of Hell."

Hell's figure flashed, and he passed Xiong Jun almost instantly. At some point, a katana had appeared in his hand, though it did not appear to have been drawn.

But after they passed each other, neither he nor Xiong Jun made any further move.

"Jingtian, watch carefully," Hell suddenly said, leaving everyone except Bai Jingtian stunned.

Had this man really made a move just now? Why hadn't they seen it?

But in the next instant, the changes in Xiong Jun gave them their answer.

The shimmering light around him vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye, as though the power had suddenly been cut. His fur also suddenly drifted up, then slowly fell to the ground.

That was right, the ground. In the blink of an eye, all the fur on Xiong Jun's body fell away, as though the finest barber had shaved it all off like hair.

And the wounds other Soul Beasts had left on him as he grew up, the old injuries he had suffered fighting the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator, and the wounds he had received when Di Tian taught him a lesson all split open again at the same instant, joined by dozens of new sword wounds.

Blood spurted out like flowers blooming.

Both his arms fell clean off, the severed surfaces perfectly smooth and even.

Against Hell, Xiong Jun had no power to fight back at all. Hell had used only one-sixth of the power he had used against the Steel Jaw Martial God, yet Xiong Jun had already fallen, gravely wounded.

The Myriad Demon King's face went cold, and he quietly backed away some distance.

Hell's strength had far surpassed anything he had imagined. He was not someone the Myriad Demon King could fight.

Though he excelled at control, and his abilities could be brought to their limit here in the Star Dou Great Forest, still...

How could a mere handful of plants fight this man?

He might as well admit defeat quickly. Perhaps, if the man was in a good mood, he would allow Xiong Jun to receive treatment in time, so he would not lose his arms forever.

As one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, the Myriad Demon King should never have entertained such a spineless thought. Soul Beasts could never submit to humans, no matter what.

But at this moment, the Myriad Demon King's wisdom and forbearance, as well as his pride as a Soul Beast, had all been utterly shattered by Hell, and he could no longer maintain them.

Though they had not exchanged blows, the Myriad Demon King had already admitted that he had lost, and lost without any power to fight back.

Di Tian had similar thoughts, but as the Beast God in the eyes of the world, he could not retreat, nor was he allowed to.

In the next instant, with a dragon's roar, he immediately transformed into a soaring black dragon a thousand meters long, a truly terrifying sight.

Immediately afterward, his dragon claw changed again. Though its shape did not seem particularly different, it had gained a touch of something voidlike, mixed with an inexplicable pressure.

This was one of Di Tian's ultimate techniques, the Dragon God Claw, inherited from the Dragon God. It was also the true strongest strike of Di Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King.

"Take this, human! This is the Dragon God Claw, inherited from the Dragon God!"

"An interesting technique, and you're actually a dragon from legend. Though I don't know which of you and that Vinster King is stronger, you've got me excited too.

"Sword of Hell, Solar Eclipse!"

Hell laughed and leaped into the air, the long sword in his hand already drawn. The sword technique was as fast as a beam of light, leaving neither Di Tian's Dragon God Claw nor his body able to put up any effective resistance.

The Dragon God Claw had been completely neutralized at some unknown point, and the dragon scales on Di Tian's body fell like rain. Had Hell not shown mercy and been demonstrating his ultimate technique to Bai Jingtian, Di Tian would probably have been turned into minced dragon meat today, and Bai Jingtian would then have asked a certain daughter of destiny to make it into an exceptionally delicious dish.

Though Di Tian's fleshly body was terrifying, it was still far too fragile compared to the utterly unreasonable Oga.

In the blink of an eye, Di Tian changed back into human form and fell toward the ground without resisting. But Hell caught him in midair and held him up like a trophy.

"All right, next, you Swan in charge of healing can heal them, and then continue fighting me."

Hell tossed Di Tian down beside Bi Ji, indicating that she could treat him.

However, Bi Ji was currently reattaching Xiong Jun's arms. Drenched in fragrant sweat, she naturally had no capacity to treat Di Tian as well.

"Just infusing him with life force? That's not how you heal.

"Magnetic Field Rotation, Cellular Recombination!"

Hell watched Bi Ji's treatment carefully for a while longer, then came to Xiong Jun's head with an expression of frustration at her failure to live up to expectations and pressed a hand against it.

In the next instant, as the magnetic field power circulated, Xiong Jun's arms reattached themselves to his body as naturally as could be, without leaving a single scar.
