Su Luo said, "Stop looking. Your opponent is me."
"You're not even qualified."
The Beast Lord only had eyes for those at the Tribulation Phase now, and he absolutely had to kill Jiang Ningshu—otherwise, how could he fight once she recovered?
He didn’t have time to recover himself.
The Beast Lord opened his maw wide and continued spewing demonic energy rays toward the direction where Jiang Ningshu had vanished.
Even though Jiang Ningshu had retreated far away, the Beast Lord could still lock onto her.
But with a mere tilt of his axe, Su Luo deflected the Beast Lord’s demonic energy rays.
Then, Su Luo raised the axe and brought it down with force.
The Beast Lord, still gripping the axe tightly, was slammed into the ground along with it.
Fury surged in the Beast Lord’s heart—Jiang Ningshu had already escaped beyond his detection range.
"Look what you’ve done. I’ll kill you for this."
"Have you been beaten stupid? Can’t you see the gap between us?" Su Luo felt he had been demonstrating his strength quite clearly.
Yet from the very beginning, the Beast Lord had only been fixated on Jiang Ningshu, another Tribulation Phase expert.
As for Su Luo’s words, the Beast Lord dismissed them with scorn. "Hmph. Below the Tribulation Phase, all are mere ants."
Even now, severely injured, the Beast Lord refused to believe he could lose to a single Great Ascendant—at least five would be needed.
Then he recalled Su Luo’s performance in the Wildlands.
At least three Great Ascendants.
And then he remembered Su Luo’s earlier strike.
At least two.
But the longer he stared at Su Luo now, the more uneasy he felt.
Why did facing Su Luo make him more unsettled than when he faced Jiang Ningshu?
Suddenly, the Beast Lord thought—maybe Su Luo alone would suffice.
Su Luo said, "I agree with the saying—below the Tribulation Phase, all are ants."
In an instant, Su Luo appeared right before the Beast Lord and sent him flying with a single punch.
The Beast Lord couldn’t quite comprehend Su Luo’s movements, but taking hits wasn’t his forte.
He flipped midair, steadied himself, and charged at Su Luo.
The best defense was offense.
The Beast Lord would not allow himself to lose.
The axe returned to its normal size as the Beast Lord swung it down relentlessly.
Su Luo’s Void Hands materialized in waves, clashing violently against the Beast Lord’s onslaught.
This suited the Beast Lord just fine.
A direct, brutal exchange? Perfect.
He stopped thinking and focused solely on swinging his axe.
Su Luo’s approach was even simpler—just keep summoning Void Hands.
And the Void Hands didn’t drain his stamina.
At first, the Beast Lord was thrilled—countless Void Hands were severed, and it felt like he’d soon land a hit on Su Luo.
But that "soon" never came.
In the end, the Beast Lord’s relentless assault left him nearly exhausted.
No, this wasn’t working.
He retreated, changing tactics, gripping his axe and gathering energy.
"Triple Soul Sunder Charge!"
Three ferocious beasts surged forth once more.
But without enough time to charge, the beasts were much smaller this time—almost cute.
And indeed, they were. Before Su Luo, they seemed like harmless kittens or puppies, utterly incapable of menace.
With a casual kick, Su Luo dispersed them effortlessly.
They were completely useless.
"Are you mocking me? Make them bigger next time." Su Luo gestured for a more serious attempt.
The Beast Lord gathered energy again.
"Fine, have it your way!"
A stronger Triple Soul Sunder Charge—but still useless.
The Beast Lord abandoned it immediately and switched to another technique.
Yet no matter what he tried, none of his attacks had the slightest effect on Su Luo.
Despair deepened.
The Beast Lord actually felt lost, unsure how to deal with this opponent.
But with his beast army watching, he couldn’t show fear or hesitation.
He attacked again.
And again, every move was effortlessly neutralized.
Hopelessness and utter powerlessness shattered the Beast Lord’s resolve.
"Damn it! If I were at my peak, someone like you wouldn’t stand a chance!"
He was rambling now.
Su Luo shook his head. "Don’t spout such loser talk. It only makes you look pathetic."
"Die! Just die!"
Su Luo punched the Beast Lord to the ground.
For a brief moment, the Beast Lord blacked out.
Only then did he realize—Su Luo was truly formidable.
"Impossible… You can’t be just a Great Ascendant!"
The Beast Lord was conflicted. Su Luo’s strength didn’t match a Great Ascendant at all, but how could he have misjudged? His instincts were sharp—Su Luo’s displayed cultivation was undeniably at the Great Ascendant level.
"Thought of a new way to attack yet? Your underlings are watching. Don’t embarrass yourself."
Su Luo had no intention of pressing the attack. Lin Xuan’s side wasn’t settled yet—the final act would be a three-way battle with him joining in. He needed to buy time.
Besides, a powerful beast like the Beast Lord was a rare opponent. Once dead, there’d be no more fun. Might as well let him shine a little longer.
The Beast Lord racked his brain, trying to figure out how to defeat Su Luo.
Finally, he resorted to using treasures—though he wasn’t skilled with them and couldn’t unleash their full power.
He had always believed true strength came from oneself, not external tools.
But now, he had no choice.
All around, humans and beasts alike kept an eye on their battle.
To Di Haoran, it seemed Su Luo was merely stalling the Beast Lord.
Since Su Luo wasn’t attacking, Di Haoran assumed he was barely holding his own against the Beast Lord’s assaults.
But even so, he found it impressive.
"Exactly right, hold off the Beast Lord. Once we deal with our opponents, we'll come to your aid."
Though Su Luo appeared relaxed, Di Haoran still didn’t believe she could handle the Beast Lord.
That was a Tribulation Phase Beast Lord, after all.
Even weakened, it was still a Tribulation Phase existence.
The Lion Heart King grew anxious. His instincts told him the Beast Lord was in dire straits—perhaps even in mortal danger. He had to finish off Di Haoran quickly.
But he couldn’t.
Meanwhile, after a fierce series of battles, the Grand Priest finally broke through and emerged from the North Heavenly Gate.
Beasts surrounded him once more.
Using the lives of the nearby beasts, the Grand Priest launched his assault against Lin Xuan and Elder Yan.
With the beasts at his disposal, the Grand Priest became a far more formidable foe, forcing Lin Xuan and Elder Yan onto the defensive.
However, it wasn’t long before the Grand Priest sensed something amiss with the Beast Lord. He wanted to check on the situation.
But Lin Xuan and Elder Yan wouldn’t let him escape again.
"Let’s finish him in one strike!" Elder Yan declared.
"Agreed." Lin Xuan instantly understood his intent.
Flames ignited in their hands.
Then, Elder Yan’s fire merged with Lin Xuan’s.
"Chaotic Great Flame Dragon!"
A massive fiery dragon surged toward the Grand Priest.
The Grand Priest reacted swiftly—but not with an attack. Instead, he summoned beasts to shield him.
Countless beasts sacrificed themselves, forming a living barrier.
Yet, even so, the Chaotic Great Flame Dragon reached the Grand Priest.
"Ten Great Secret Arts—Indestructible Cage!"
A cage—but also an immensely powerful defensive barrier.
The Grand Priest blocked the attack, though the impact forced him to cough up blood. He was injured, but a smirk curled his lips.
Elder Yan sensed something was wrong—just as a spear shot toward Lin Xuan at blinding speed.
"Danger!"
At the critical moment, Elder Yan shoved Lin Xuan aside—only to be impaled by the Piercing Spear.
Indeed, the Grand Priest had chosen defense—all to set up this deadly sneak attack.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
