Chapter 2687: An Initial Clash

“The Life-devouring Beast twenty kilometres away is shaped like a leopard, except it has six legs . It has clearly discovered us and is directly heading in our direction,” thought Jian Chen . The powerful senses of his soul discovered the strength of the Life-devouring Beast with perfect precision . It was roughly equal to a late Overgod . It posed no threat to the group .

However, this Life-devouring Beast moved extremely quickly . With its strength equivalent to a late Overgod, it could cross a hundred kilometres in an instant, so twenty kilometres only took it the blink of an eye .

Instantly, the six-legged, leopard-shaped Life-devouring Beast appeared before everyone .

The senses of everyone’s souls were suppressed within the Two World Mountains . Even some of the Godkings could only expand their senses to a range of ten kilometres, which was nowhere near enough for them to receive an early warning . By the time they could sense the Life-devouring Beast, it would have crossed the ten kilometres already and appeared before them .

Roar! Immediately, the Life-devouring Beast produced a beast-like roar . Its eyes shone with a muddy, bloodthirsty light as it directly lunged towards the cultivators nearest to it .

“Be careful, there’s a Life-devouring Beast…”

“It’s a Life-devouring Beast! The Life-devouring Beasts have come! The Life-devouring Beasts have come…”

“Don’t panic! Attack together…”

……

…

The cultivators only reacted when the Life-devouring Beast had already attacked . Their faces changed drastically, and all of them cried out in surprise and fear .

Even the Godkings among them became extremely stern . They seemed very nervous .

Immediately, over a hundred people struck out together . There were Overgods and a few Godking leaders . Even over a dozen of the sacrificial soldiers had struck out together .

All of the attacks formed a blanket of colorful lights that surged towards the Life-devouring Beast mercilessly .

“Oh no, my life force has already begun to leak away . The Life-devouring Beast has already begun to devour my life force . ”

At the moment they launched their attacks, a few Gods among the group called out in fear . The Life-devouring Beast had yet to attack them . However, when they were a certain distance away from it, their life force would leak away uncontrollably, surging towards the Life-devouring Beast as strands of energy .

Having appeared out of nowhere, the Life-devouring Beast actually faced all the attacks fearlessly . It suddenly made a turn in the air and lunged in a different direction, dodging everyone’s attacks and invading the group instantly .

It was like a wolf among a flock of sheep, frightening the surrounding cultivators to run all over the place as they screamed in fear . At the same time, a large amount of life force leaked away from the surrounding Gods, and all of it gathered towards the Life-devouring Beast .

Gods were unable to retain control over their life force in the presence of the Life-devouring Beast . Even a few of the weaker Overgods suffered the same fate . However, their life force did leak away at an evidently slower pace .

“Retreat! Don’t approach the Life-devouring Beast!” A bellow rang out, and sword Qi surged in the distance . A strand of sharp sword Qi formed a lotus of great detail and tore through the air .

The prodigy from the Empirelotus Sword sect had launched an attack .

At the same time, the Life-devouring Beast opened its huge mouth and directly chomped down on a God .

The God screamed miserably . His body withered away at an unbelievable pace, as if it had been sucked dry . He was reduced to a bag of bones .

The God had died then and there . His life force had been completely devoured, and the Life-devouring Beast became slightly stronger .

Bang! Only now did the lotus sword Qi land on the Life-devouring Beast . With a rumble, the sword Qi exploded, forming lotus petals that sliced away at the Life-devouring Beast’s body .

The Life-devouring Beast trembled violently . The sword Qi unleashed carnage within its body, ravaging its life force . The Life-devouring Beast produced a howl of pain .

However, it did not die . Its tremendous life force battled the sword Qi, forcing it to rapidly weaken .

In the surroundings, the various Overgods and Godkings used this opportunity to attack once more . This time, two hundred attacks rained in at the same time, landing mercilessly on the Life-devouring Beast .

Boom!

The Life-devouring Beast was unable to dodge this time . With a deafening sound, it was blasted into pieces .

The Life-devouring Beast did not bleed . It only possessed a tremendous presence of life, which seemed to be equivalent to blood .

The chaotic surroundings immediately settled down after the Life-devouring Beast’s death . Everyone pointed and murmured at the corpse of the Life-devouring Beast . Some people were pale, still stricken with fear, while others were relieved and disdainful towards the corpse .

“That’s a Life-devouring Beast . It’s nothing much at all . We crushed it to pieces as soon as we met it…”

“The rumours describe the Life-devouring Beasts to be so, so terrifying, yet now that I look at it, it’s clearly an exaggeration . These Life-devouring Beasts are no big deal…”

“Don’t you underestimate the Life-devouring Beast . Didn’t you see how our life force began to leak away uncontrollably as soon as it approached us…”

“That’s because you’re too weak . Your weakness makes the Life-devouring Beast appear powerful…”

Many people discussed among themselves .

All the leaders had arrived there as well . They opened up a clearing among the people and collected the remains of the Life-devouring Beast and studied it in their hands . Many of them were stern .

“This Life-devouring Beast was only equivalent to an Overgod, yet it could survive my Lotus Explosion Sword Qi . If it were not for the sheer amount of attacks, killing the Life-devouring Beast would have taken quite the effort, even for me,” the leader of the Empirelotus Sword sect said sternly . He did not celebrate over the death of the Life-devouring Beast . Instead, he was solemn .

“The might of brother Chang Sheng’s Lotus Explosion Sword Qi is shocking . Even other early Godkings cannot withstand its power without a powerful cultivation method and battle skill, yet this Life-devouring Beast could last for so long as a mere Overgod . It even had the ability to oppose the attack . These Life-devouring Beasts really are very powerful . They really live up to the rumour of being difficult to deal with,” another leader added sternly .

“The most terrifying part about the Life-devouring Beasts is their ability to devour life force . If the difference in strength is overly large, just being in their presence will drain away life force . Fortunately, it was only equivalent to an Overgod this time . If a late Godking Life-devouring Beast appeared, we would probably be forced to flee . Let alone fighting it, we would lose control of our life force just by standing within a certain distance from it . ”

“It’s said that there are countless Godhood Life-devouring Beasts in the Two World Mountains, and the most terrifying fact is that there are even Primordial realm Life-devouring Beasts…”

As soon as they heard that, everyone’s faces changed drastically .

If they were outside, they would even be able to face off against Infinite Primes with so many people, as they could work together by creating formations . However, facing the terrifying ability of Life-devouring Beasts, even if they created a powerful killing formation, they had no confidence in stopping a Primordial realm Life-devouring Beast .

“These remains are fantastic materials for some pills, so stow them away . Let’s set off quickly . We mustn’t waste time here . We need to leave as quickly as possible,” said Jin Hong . Even though he was the successor of a Grand Exalt and possessed extremely great battle prowess, he was unable to relax at a time like this either .
