Chapter 663: Wear Down

“Thinking of attacking my disciple? You’re overestimating yourself.”

After Xu Fan finished speaking, he directly controlled the sword formation azure dragon to split into thousands of Spiritual Swords.

They formed into the shape of a giant whale, exuding a powerful presence.

“Looks like the slow and steady approach isn’t going to work anymore.”

In an instant, a barrier enveloped the entire battlefield.

The giant whale made of thousands of Spiritual Swords appeared above the Golden Devourer Tiger.

The giant whale swallowed it whole and then charged towards the Hedgehog Beast King.

“Enjoy yourself in there~” Xu Fan said with narrowed eyes.

After the sword formation giant whale swallowed the two Invincible Beast Kings, it transformed into a spherical shape and began to spin endlessly.

Xu Fan glanced at the three beast kings still battling the Great Ascension stage puppets.

He directly split off an Immortal Sword from the spherical sword formation, transforming it into a silver thread that pierced through the three fighting beast kings.

“Sigh, those once high and mighty beast kings now seem like small fry in my eyes,” Xu Fan said with a tone of lonely expertise while hiding in the shadows.

At this moment, the Demon Army waiting there had been completely wiped out by Xu Gang and the others.

The entire battlefield had turned blood-red, filled with dismembered limbs of the beast race.

“Master, mission accomplished,” Xu Gang transmitted a message.

“Patrol the area and see if any small fry managed to escape,” Xu Fan instructed.

A virtual image flashed across the sky, which was Xu Fan’s avatar.

The moment Xu Fan’s avatar appeared, a pink illusion rushed through its head, immediately exploding.

The headless body of the avatar fell to the ground.

Xu Gang and the others didn’t react much; only the puppets chased after the pink illusion.

“Master, come out! I know it’s fake, but it looks really scary,” Xu Gang said.

Xu Fan’s figure appeared in the sky again, leaving everyone uncertain whether it was his true form or another avatar.

Along with Xu Fan, the sword formation puppet emerged.

With a wave of its hand, the previous Immortal Sword transformed again into a silver thread, flying out.

Upon returning, there was a drop of beast blood on the Immortal Sword.

“Pretty quick, but unfortunately not as fast as me,” Xu Fan remarked while looking at the beast blood on the sword.

The sword shook off the beast blood and returned to the spherical sword formation.

“Master, did you take care of that Invincible Beast King?” Xu Gang asked, looking at the spherical sword formation.

“Killing an Invincible Beast King isn’t that easy; it takes some time to wear them down properly,” Xu Fan replied with a smile. If all went well, this should be the first Invincible Beast King he would kill.

“Master is amazing,” Xu Gang and the others admired.

“Not bad, now an ordinary Invincible Beast King cannot bully us anymore,” Xu Fan said with a grin.

Suddenly, Xu Gang felt a sense of relief and triumph. He remembered how, back then, their Hidden Spirit Sect had been forced by a beast king to relocate to the shores of the Endless Sea for safety.

Now, in less than two thousand years, over ten beast kings were thriving under the protection of the Hidden Spirit Sect.

“Indeed, the Invincible Beast Kings can’t bully us anymore,” Xu Gang said with a hint of regret in his eyes.

It was unfortunate that he hadn’t yet reached the realm of the invincible respected elder while the entire sect had already become invincible.

It was different from the script he had imagined, where a single individual stood up to turn the tide.

“What are you daydreaming about now?” Xu Fan asked, looking at the expression of his first disciple.

“Nothing much, just feeling nostalgic that the sect has become invincible before I could even contribute,” Xu Gang replied honestly.

“Invincibility is still far off, and you still have time before becoming the pillar of the sect!” Xu Fan said to his disciple with a tone of encouragement.

“If you want to realize the scenes in your imagination, wait until you reach the Thousand Worlds.”

“Don’t be fooled by how strong these puppets appear right now; they have already reached their limit.”

“Only after you surpass this limit will the sect truly need you,” Xu Fan said, looking at the sword formation puppet.

“Master, how strong do I need to be?”

“You should at least reach the Golden Immortal level first~” Xu Fan replied leisurely.

During his near-breakthrough to the Golden Immortal level in the nightmare illusion, he had witnessed many things and inferred a lot, including puppets at the true immortal level.

“……”

The passion that had just ignited was suddenly doused with cold water.

Xu Yuexian and Wang Xiangchi chuckled at Xu Gang.

At that moment, the sword formation sphere suddenly expanded, almost reaching a diameter of one thousand feet.

Then, under the control of the sword formation puppet, it shrank back to its original size.

“That Golden Devourer Tiger’s clone actually self-destructed, but it didn’t help at all,” Xu Fan said, shrugging in a relaxed manner.

In truth, the sword formation puppet had only exerted seventy percent of its strength, and the reason it was seventy percent was that it was the most efficient state.

Although the sword formation puppet was powerful, its consumption was equally remarkable, comparable to the first Great Ascension stage puppet he had ever created.

Even though the sect was now prosperous, Xu Fan didn’t dare to step on the gas too forcefully.

“That hedgehog is almost done for. Once we kill it, let’s preserve its true form as a specimen to display in the Hidden Spirit Sect,” Xu Fan said.

In the Human Realm, every Invincible Beast King harbored deep-seated hatred against the human race.

These Invincible Beast Kings, upon entering the Human Realm, would slaughter cities lightly, and even annihilate entire regions without remorse.

Using humans as food was a common method for them.

Thus, Xu Fan felt no psychological barrier to brutally exterminating them.

At least according to the Elder Council’s intelligence, this Hedgehog Beast King had destroyed several fairy cities.

“The quills on that hedgehog can be plucked, refined, and turned into a treasure of great power,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“Alright, the first step is completed; the rest is to set up the grand formation here and wait for those rabbits to come out.”

Before Xu Fan could finish, hundreds of Large Spiritual Boats appeared in the distant sky, loaded with various puppets and materials for arranging the formation.

Xu Fan, noticing the strange aura emanating from the teleportation formation in the distance, suddenly felt the urge to probe it first-hand.

“Damn it, they’ve dug a pit for me again,” Xu Fan muttered, looking at the eerie teleportation formation with a laugh.

As hundreds of Large Spiritual Boats descended, Qian Bing led a large group of puppets toward them.

“Grand Elder, I’ve brought you the needed puppets and materials for the formation,” Qian Bing said with a hint of reluctance.

These materials had consumed the accumulation of hundreds of years of the Celestial City, leaving only some basic materials and a few spirit stones in the treasury now.

“You’re worried about such a small amount of materials?”

Xu Fan pointed at the blood-red battlefield and said, “The slain beast race is still warm; we should disassemble them and collect the empty bones.”

“We might be able to recoup our losses.”

“Ha, the Grand Elder understands me,” Qian Bing said.

Upon arriving, he spotted the distant battlefield and with Xu Fan present, he restrained the urge to clean up the battlefield.

Accompanied by a group of puppets specifically meant for cleaning, Qian Bing rushed toward the battlefield impulsively.

“Have you collected the empty bones of those three beast kings?” Xu Fan asked a puppet.

“The battle isn’t over yet, and the cleanup protocol hasn’t been activated,” the puppet replied.
