Chapter 397: The Great Battle
“Human race elders, you’ve got some nerve, daring to lay hands on our beast race’s celestial tools.”
“Today, you’re not leaving here alive.”
The four beast kings’ eyes burned with fury. No matter how fiercely the beast race fought for the celestial tools, they were meant for the beast race alone.
If humans dared to interfere, the beast race would unite against them. This was the pact made by the four clans after the teleportation formations between the cultivation world and the demon race were sealed.
As long as the human race in this region wasn’t completely wiped out, the four clans were forbidden from turning on each other.
“If a celestial tool emerges from human territory, it belongs to the human race! You outsiders will soon become part of my blood ocean,” Spirit Cut sneered, glaring defiantly at the four beast kings.
“Human race elders, release our four master craftsmen, and I might let you live,” the Moon Fox Beast King said coldly.
“Think carefully before you answer. Don’t forget the billions of mortals behind you.”
Hearing the Moon Fox Beast King’s words, Spirit Cut laughed mockingly, “Your grandmother’s leg! Send that icy wolf of yours over!”
The blood ocean descended, trapping the Moon Fox Beast King and the Frost Wolf Beast King within its crimson depths.
Respected Elder Hu Xiao clashed with the Wood Mouse Respected Elder, while Respected Elder Ling Xiu faced off against the Earth Bear Respected Elder.
In an instant, the entire beast race within a ten-thousand-mile radius trembled under the overwhelming pressure of the battle.
From the depths of the blood ocean, a Blood Spirit Great Knife emerged, flying to Spirit Cut’s side.
“This Blood Spirit Great Knife, tempered with your beast race’s blood, makes it perfect for slaughtering beasts,” Spirit Cut said, his eyes blood-red, radiating an aura as dark as an abyss.
“You’re asking for death!” The Frost Wolf Beast King conjured a massive glacier behind him, its icy aura freezing the surrounding blood ocean.
Transforming into a giant wolf, the Frost Wolf Beast King lunged at Spirit Cut with a claw, the glacier looming above, suppressing the churning blood ocean around him.
A shadowy figure of the Moon Fox appeared behind Spirit Cut, aiming to pierce his chest.
“The same old tricks. How boring,” Spirit Cut said with disdain.
At that moment, a blood moon rose from the blood ocean, ensnaring the Moon Fox’s shadowy form.
“You’re next,” Spirit Cut laughed, his voice echoing like a demon from the blood ocean. The Frost Wolf Beast King was taken aback—this human race elder didn’t seem like the type who’d protect mortals.
Spirit Cut revealed a sea-gathering gourd, filled to the brim with the blood of Great Ascension Stage Beasts, enough to fill a small lake.
“Blood Ocean, gather the spirits,” Spirit Cut said with a devilish grin.
The blood poured out of the gourd, instantly absorbed by the blood ocean, which then transformed into three Great Ascension Stage blood ocean beasts.
Spirit Cut’s eyes began to change, growing more frenzied, his expression more savage, until he fully transformed into a humanoid Blood Spirit.
With the last shred of his sanity, Spirit Cut declared, “You will all die today.”
‘Boom!’
The blood ocean exploded, dissolving into a mist that merged into the Blood Spirit.
“Roar~”
With a beast-like roar, the Blood Spirit swung the Blood Spirit Great Knife at the Frost Wolf Beast King.
The glacier summoned by the Frost Wolf Beast King was instantly melted by the blood flames engulfing the Blood Spirit.
Meanwhile, the other two battlefields had already been pushed far into the distance.
The Moon Fox Beast King was struggling to fend off the attacks from the Blood Spirit, who seemed almost completely immune to her Illusion Technique.
“Damn, Spirit Cut Elder is really going all out, taking on two at once and still dominating,” Xu Fan commented as he watched the blood-misted battlefield from a distance.
“You do realize who Spirit Cut Elder is, right? He’s the Grand Elder of the Demon Sect, one of the top figures there,” the first clone chimed in.
“How do you know so much about him?” Xu Fan asked, surprised.
“I chat with the Master of the Artifact Hall whenever I get the chance,” the first clone replied casually.
Just then, a pained cry from the Moon Fox Beast King echoed through the air as a massive fox burst out of the blood mist.
“Why are you targeting me?!” the Moon Fox Beast King shouted furiously.
A Blood Spirit surged out of the mist, wreathed in blazing blood flames, swinging the Blood Spirit Great Knife at her. Meanwhile, the Frost Wolf Beast King was busy dealing with the three blood ocean beasts.
At that moment, a small snake made of blood slithered up from the ground near Xu Fan, spitting out a tiny palace that contained the four unconscious beast clan master craftsmen.
“We’ve got what we came for. Time to retreat,” Xu Fan transmitted to the three respected elders.
“Just lure the other two beast kings over, and we’re good to go. I need to drain this blood before I can pull back,” came Spirit Cut’s fragmented reply.
“Got it.”
The two respected elders fighting nearby immediately bolted toward Spirit Cut’s position.
Chaos erupted as the three respected elders and the four beast kings clashed, shattering the landscape for miles around.
“I’ll cover your retreat,” Spirit Cut said, his eyes no longer as wild as they had been at the start.
“Understood.”
Suddenly, three Great Ascension stage blood ocean beasts charged into the fray.
“Blood Spirit, explode!!”
*BOOM!!*
The explosion was apocalyptic, like a nuclear bomb had just gone off.
The blast wave tore through the area, forcing the four beast kings back hundreds of miles.
As the blood mist cleared, the Blood Spirit stood alone, gripping the Blood Spirit Great Knife, facing down the four beast race elders.
Back on Xu Fan’s spiritual boat, he turned to Respected Elder Spirit Cut and asked, “Weren’t you supposed to stay behind and hold them off?”
“I sent my Blood Spirit clone to handle it. You really think I’d trust the beast race?” Spirit Cut replied with a shrug.
“Fair enough. For now, I’ll need you three to guard the Steel Wall,” Xu Fan said.
With the four beast clan master craftsmen captured, the Steel Wall was bound to be busy for a while.
“No problem. Those four beast kings aren’t that tough. With the right tools, I can take on two at once,” Spirit Cut said confidently.
“Same here,” Respected Elder Hu Xiao added.
“Good. Once we’re back, I’ll start crafting your tools,” Xu Fan nodded.
The first clone rubbed his forehead, already dreading the workload.
Xu Fan then turned to Grape and ordered, “Put the Steel Wall on high alert and deploy our undercover agents. We can’t let the beast race pull any dirty tricks.”
“Understood,” Grape replied promptly.
Not long after, Li Xingci arrived at Xu Fan’s courtyard.
“Master, you called for me?” Li Xingci asked.
“Yes. We just struck a blow against the beast race. It’s time to activate the key pieces you’ve been developing. The major beast clans will likely try to threaten us with the humans they’ve captured,” Xu Fan explained.
“Send out the right pieces and see if we can rescue those humans,” Xu Fan instructed.
“Understood,” Li Xingci nodded.
Over the years, Li Xingci and his reincarnation clone had been busy cultivating traitors within the beast race. Using the Rebirth Technique and some brainwashing methods, they’d managed to turn quite a few key figures.
As a spiritual boat entered the Hidden Spirit Sect, the sect gained four new master craftsmen.
“Four master craftsmen should be enough. Next, we focus on Star Ship trading,” Xu Fan said, glancing at the four successfully assimilated beast clan master craftsmen.
