Beast-Taming Cultivator from Two Realms-Chapter 174 : One Man Destroys a City
Chapter 174: One Man Destroys a City
Base Control Center.
“Gulu?” Gold Egg looked toward Chen Beiwu.
‘No need for you to act.’
Chen Beiwu shook his head, ignoring the agitated ape soldiers around him, his gaze fixed on the large screen showing the ruined town and armored vehicles.
Water and wood were illusions—only a fool would stand still and let himself be a target.
Under the control of the Mist of Phantoms, the targets of the armored vehicles and the Energy Artillery Cannons were not him, but rather Silei City where the Chouyuan tribe lived, along with the base’s armored units.
After the dual bombardment from the armored vehicle shells and the Energy Artillery Cannons, the surviving Chouyuan in Silei City were already few, leaving only the group of ape soldiers in the control center.
With this thought, Chen Beiwu stepped forward and casually picked up the submachine gun carried by the One-Eyed Chouyuan, who did not notice at all.
In this place devoid of spiritual essence, compared to consuming mana to cast Arts, the cost-effectiveness of using firearms was far higher.
And in the hands of a cultivator, the power firearms could unleash was far superior to that of the Chouyuan.
“Da!”
“Da!”
“Da!”
As the shell casings clattered to the ground, Chen Beiwu continued to reload.
Soon, all the ape soldiers in the control center were dead, leaving only a Golden-Haired Chouyuan officer and two crudely disguised Immortal Alliance examinees.
Only then did Chen Beiwu dispel the illusion of the Mist of Phantoms.
The world abruptly shifted.
“Hiss!”
Seeing the ground littered with Chouyuan corpses, smelling the iron tang thick in the air, Gu Tie could not help but gasp sharply. He immediately removed his own disguise, lest this Foundation Establishment god of slaughter who could destroy a city alone also kill him in passing.
“Senior, we are on the same side.”
At the critical moment, Ji Gang unhesitatingly spoke in Immortal Alliance tongue to reveal his identity.
Chen Beiwu gave a slight nod, turning his gaze toward the dazed Golden-Haired Chouyuan.
“No, no, impossible!”
Muttering, Shester finally reacted, his face contorted in terror as he prostrated himself on the ground, wanting to beg for mercy.
This time Chen Beiwu did not raise the submachine gun. Instead, he deliberately controlled his strength and with one kick shattered the Golden-Haired Chouyuan’s chest.
The latter’s eyes bulged, blood spurted from his mouth, and his body slammed heavily against the large screen, left with only a single breath to feel the final countdown of his life.
It was because his attire and ornaments were all crafted from human corpses, the manufacturing process cruel and bloody.
Seeing this, both Gu Tie and Ji Gang felt their hearts tighten, fearing they might share the same fate.
After all, the Immortal Alliance retest did not explicitly prohibit examinees from killing one another!
“Hu.”
Ignoring the two examinees, Chen Beiwu let out a deep breath and extended his divine sense to search the Golden-Haired Chouyuan’s soul for information.
‘Drum of Human Skin… Ant Marrow-Washing… Child Cleaves Mother…’
Even though Chen Beiwu deliberately ignored the inhumane scenes within the Chouyuan’s memories, his heart still grew heavy.
For no other reason than this: the status of the human race on Chouyuan Star was unbearably low, even beneath that of laboratory mice.
Otherwise, Chen Beiwu would not have altered his plan and begun a wholesale slaughter.
……
Bixiao Immortal Sect.
Watching the scenes on the screen, a black-robed Golden Core True Person revealed an intrigued expression, tapping the archive to call up the examinee’s file.
“Chen Beiwu… nineteen years old… water-attribute Heavenly Root… native of Yuanyuan Prefecture, Tianyan Commandery, Yuan-Kong County, Pingchen Township, Yuying Path…”
Finishing the file, Pei Heng’s heart stirred, a thought of poaching immediately arising.
To ensure fairness in the examination, all adjudicators of the Immortal Alliance retest were Golden Core True Persons from the Thirteen Immortal Sects and Seven-Nine Upper Sects, and Pei Heng was a Golden Core instructor of the Yuxu Immortal Sect.
‘Leaving such a good seedling to the Bixiao Immortal Sect is truly a waste. Better to bring him into the Yuxu Immortal Sect!’ Pei Heng thought to himself.
Even across the screen, he could clearly tell that the cultivation method Chen Beiwu practiced was the Bixiao Immortal Sect’s All Laws Converge, Heaven Book of the Divine Tree, trained to a realm surpassing Qi Refining. At his waist twined a Companion Beast that was a Second-Realm Lesser Beast.
Such talent would even count as outstanding within the Yuxu Immortal Sect.
“Old Pei, what are you smiling at?” An arm suddenly wrapped around Pei Heng’s shoulder.
“None of your business.” Pei Heng did not even raise his head, his tone calm.
In the eyes of Qi Refining cultivators, Golden Core True Persons were celestial figures, lofty as gods.
But Golden Core True Persons were still cultivators, possessing joys and sorrows, the seven emotions and six desires.
“Old Pei, is it so hard to accept losing to me?” the owner of the arm chuckled.
“Zhao Wuchen, are you deliberately looking for trouble?” Pei Heng frowned slightly, turning his head toward the young man beside him with jade-like features, golden markings on his brows, dressed in a russet Daoist robe.
Zhao Wuchen, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, third-tier high-grade Formation Master, served as a formation arts instructor of the Bixiao Immortal Sect, and was also a disciple under the Eight Wastelands True Venerable, the true heir of Bixiao Immortal Sect.
“Looking for trouble? Not exactly.” Zhao Wuchen smiled lightly and said bluntly, “I only want to remind you—this examinee, our Bixiao Immortal Sect will take him.”
After speaking, without waiting for Pei Heng to respond, Zhao Wuchen turned his gaze toward Chen Beiwu on the large screen.
This display of disregarding a fellow Golden Core True Person instantly angered Pei Heng.
But considering the occasion and the disparity between their strengths, Pei Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and refrained from acting. Instead, he prepared to offer a sky-high price to intercept midway.
Hearing Zhao Wuchen and Pei Heng’s exchange, the Golden Core True Persons present exchanged glances, all smiling faintly, unsurprised.
For recruitment, the Yuxu Immortal Sect and Bixiao Immortal Sect often clashed. They had seen such scenes countless times and no longer bothered to compete with these two sects for disciples.
Only Jiang Chuan took interest, adding Chen Beiwu to the list of examinees he observed with his divine sense.
As the only Nascent Soul True Monarch present, Jiang Chuan saw that while the technology of Chouyuan Star was laughably weak, it did have some commendable points.
Through repeated Immortal Alliance tests, it had been proven that after a little more than twenty days, feeling threatened, the Chouyuan tribe would unleash all of their thermonuclear weapons, reducing the surface to scorched earth.
Otherwise, the higher-ups would not have set the survival duration of the Immortal Alliance retest at precisely one month.
But Chen Beiwu and the others’ destruction of military bases was far too ostentatious, without a doubt accelerating that timeline.
……
Two kilometers beneath the surface of Chouyuan Star.
New Ape Tribe Council Hall.
Thirty-six Chouyuan, each two meters tall with slightly yellow fur, wore solemn expressions as they stared silently at the supreme throne at the head of the hall.
Seated there was the King of the New Apes!
Under the watchful gazes of the high-ranking apes, the Ape King, only 1.8 meters tall, rose to his feet on the throne and began his pre-war speech.
At the same time, the large screen above the throne began playing countless videos of the Chouyuan Star’s global military bases being destroyed one by one by Immortal Alliance examinees.
“Golden Ox ignored the missiles, destroying a city with a single stomp!”
“Trees spread wildly, turning an entire base into a primordial forest as countless vines slew ape soldiers!”
“Endless rain poured, floodwaters surged to the sky, drowning tens of thousands of ape soldiers, while a massive whale raised its head and roared!”
“Humans floated in the air, instantly entered the control center, making the Energy Artillery Cannons fire wildly, annihilating ape soldiers and armored units!”
“……”
Seeing the unbelievable scenes on the screen, the Chouyuan present all changed expressions drastically.
Some sharp-eyed high-level New Apes even noticed that human figures existed upon the bodies of those giant beasts.
“We apes are the rulers of this planet, while humans are only slaves.”
The Ape King swept his gaze across the high ranks and proposed: “To deal with these mysterious humans, I have decided to deploy thermonuclear weapons, blasting these humans and beasts alike into dust!”
