Chapter 169: Space Beasts
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the roar, boundless murderous aura surged from the ruins around Gu Changqing and the others. Countless ferocious figures leaped out.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
One after another, their bodies were shining with starlight spots. The densely packed monsters surrounded Gu Changqing and the others.
Crash!
A courtyard wall on the street where they were standing collapsed with a loud bang. A ferocious beast covered in green scales rushed out from the ruins of a house.
Roar!
A fishy smell came out of its mouth, and its blood-red eyes stared at Gu Changqing and the others.
The next moment, the monster’s sharp claws cut through the street’s stone slabs, and its agile movements stirred up a strong wind as it rushed toward Gu Changqing.
“Get lost!”
A mere fierce beast wasn’t worth Gu Changqing’s effort at all.
Zhang Hu roared angrily, his divine rune’s residual power shattering the beast.
“This is too ridiculously weak!”
Zhang Hu raised his head and looked disdainfully at the space beasts that covered the sky.
Vermilion Bird looked around and said hesitantly, “This was indeed unexpected.”
“It’s not that they’re weak, it’s because this is just Universe City’s outer perimeter.”
Gu Changqing’s spiritual energy could extend further than Zhang Hu and the others. Within the range he could detect, the beasts’ strengths grew stronger and stronger.
The ones he saw in his periphery were at most around tier 40 or 50. In his eyes, they were no different from ants.
A faint green fluorescent light hovered in the place where the beast died.
“What’s this?”
Zhang Hu walked over curiously and reached out to touch it.
“It’s actually the power of a divine rune!”
The light green power contained a mysterious aura.
Zhang Hu looked at Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing came to the side of the divine rune power and stretched out his hand to press and inspect it.
“Interesting!”
After reaching the Transcendent Realm, Gu Changqing could clearly feel that his divine sense could detect more and more things. As for the source of the divine rune’s power, he had a vague guess in his heart.
However, all his guesses needed to be verified by facts. Now was not the time to make a conclusion.
Within the light green shen power, Gu Changqing caught a trace of lively vitality.
“Let’s see if I can absorb this.”
Activating the strange mark, he absorbed the divine rune power into his body.
Gu Changqing shook his head and said, “There’s no issues. Unfortunately, it’s useless to me.”
Currently, his potential index was already close to 35,000. Even after absorbing this power, it was not even comparable to a drop of water in the ocean.
Looking around, even if they killed all the space beasts that surrounded them and absorbed all of their soul power, it would only be another drop in the ocean. It would be meaningless.
Gu Changqing made a judgment, “Just clean up and check the surroundings. Don’t waste time on the beasts.”
“Yes, Boss!”
As Gu Changqing opened his right hand, the space in front of him was instantly sealed. The ferocious beasts that pounced over one after another were all frozen on the spot.
“Kill them!”
Zhang Hu urged with his Black Tiger Divine Rune as a fiery red cloud flashed on Vermilion Bird’s body. On the other hand, Monkey King raised his club to attack. In an instant, all the ferocious beasts that appeared nearby trembled.
After waiting for a billion years, Universe City descended once again. They had suppressed their ferocity for a billion years and had just found an outlet to vent.
Unexpectedly, instead of the carefree slaughter they had imagined, what arrived was a bunch of terrifying hunters.
Ten thousand feet away, the beasts that weren’t imprisoned scattered in all directions.
“I didn’t expect them to have such spirituality.” Gu Changqing flew into the air and slowly walked forward.
Roar! Roar!
A furious roar came from the end of the fog in the distance.
There were terrifying beasts that seemed to be breaking out of the cage and trying to charge over. A moment later, they gave up on roaring helplessly.
Under everyone’s hunting, all the space beasts in the sky within a hundred thousand feet were killed. Countless remnants of divine rune power emitted a dim light of various colors. They floated in the sky above the city like stars.
Gu Changqing sighed. The divine rune energy condensed at his fingertips was simply too impure. If an ordinary Divine Runemaster absorbed too much of this, it wouldn’t be a good thing.
In addition, the power of the divine runes contained the savage beasts’ remnant wills. If not absorbed properly, it might even damage a person’s mind.
On his palm, the gray mark shone. The light ball was like boiling water as its size gradually shrunk. In the end, the egg-sized divine rune energy only turned into bean-sized light spots.
This was the divine rune power that had been extremely compressed and had all its impurities removed. It was extremely pure.
It was only the size of a light spot, but the energy contained within it was extremely terrifying. If it was thrown outside of Universe City’s gate, if the light spots exploded, all the creatures in a small area could get instantly destroyed.
With a casual wave of his hand, the light spot instantly extinguished, as if it had never appeared in the first place.
With this little bit of power, not to mention Gu Changqing, even Zhang Hu and the others also looked down on it.
It was normal for the outer space beasts to be weak. Otherwise, all the creatures outside would be wiped out the moment they entered. In this space that was like an independent world, countless unknown dangers awaited.
Outside Universe City’s gates.
A few Divine Runemasters who had avoided the terrifying spatial storm and the chasm sneaked away toward the gate. The few of them were secretly delighted, thinking that they could fish in troubled waters and sneak into the city.
Unexpectedly, a huge tree grew out of nowhere in the void. Its hard branches pierced through their bodies in an instant. With just a few wails, the branches sucked their bodies dry.
Afterward, the tree branch shrank and reverted back to its original form, disappearing from the space as if it had never appeared. The few dried corpses were torn into pieces by the spatial storm.
“You overestimate yourself!”
Far away, in the starry sky, Yu Hao was wearing a green robe. His emerald green eyes narrowed, and his entire body was emitting an evil aura.
Diqin Naxi, who was wearing a cloak that could isolate energy, stared at Yu Hao angrily. She exclaimed, “Why did you attack? If we were discovered, our plan would have failed!”
“Azure Emperor Star is hungry!”
A terrifying smile appeared on Yu Hao’s face as he looked at the fleeing Divine Runemasters, as if he was staring at delicious meat one after another.
Diqin Naxi ignored his words and warned, “Control yourself and don’t cause any more trouble!”
In the starry sky, countless creatures were still shocked by Huang Di’s sword that had split part of the galaxy.
“Is this something that a tier-99 Battle Emperor can do?”
“Is there any big shot who can investigate how high this old guy’s potential index is?”
“I’ve already tried, but I can’t find anything. I can only see if the large factions can find any clues.”
Supreme Dao Emperor looked at the other major force leaders who still showed no signs of making a move..
