Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Leading Calamity Eastward_1
"Haha, perfect! I was fretting over being unable to rapidly upgrade my realm, and the Beast Tide has gifted me this great boon!"
Chu Yuan felt jubilant.
"Long live! Long live!"
"Long live! Long live!"
More than a hundred thousand soldiers roared in unison, beholding Chu Yuan slaying the Silver Wolf with a single strike, showcasing invincible divine power. An unbeatable figure was erected in their minds. Wh ev their Emperor was so valiant and formidable, how could their morale not surge, instantly erupting into unparalleled battle strgth.
"Protect the Emperor!"
Huang Yong, the official of the Ministry of War, shouted loudly. Those who were loyal to the royal family also plunged into the Beast Tide, rallying a Chu Yuan.
These civil and military officials were not pushovers. In this fantastical world, one could not become a subject without formidable cultivation.
With the Emperor leading the charge, both the imperial advisor, Qingyun, and Li Yun could not just stand idly by. Prestigiously, they were still subjects of Dawu.
"The little Emperor of Dawu is unexpectedly brave, kill him! Bring him down!"
On the side of the beasts, the Great Demons of the Divine Realm were somewhat tak aback seeing Chu Yuan bring down the Silver Wolf in a flash. But it only served to intsify their desire to kill. If they allowed this to continue, wouldn't they be forever trapped in the mountain range of beasts, unable to go out and wreak havoc at will?
The beasts were also on the move.
"Lightning Strike!"
An insignificant-looking bird of thunder, no more than half a foot in size flashed rapidly towards them. Its speed was extremely fast, tearing through the void like a steel needle, attempting to subdue Chu Yuan with its sheer velocity.
"Seeking death!"
However, this thunderbird would never have imagined that it had just teleported in front of Chu Yuan wh a soul-shattering roar sured it. The air a it seemed to have be sucked dry, abruptly sinking into a vortex like quicksand.
This was the Devouring Vortex, swallowing all power.
A hand clasped onto its head the very next momt and ruthlessly crushed it.
At this momt, the radiant light of grand battle techniques swirled a Chu Yuan. He was like an indomitable war deity, mountains collapsing under his might and his spirit overshadowing the world. Any existce that dared to stand in his way was continuously crushed.
"Although I led the charge into the Beast Tide, it also inspired the troops' morale. Luckily, I have the Great Devouring Technique, with an unding source of mana, unafraid of a siege. However, this Beast Tide is also an opportunity—it is time to establish my invincible authority!"
Chu Yuan's consciousness veloped the tire battlefield, each sce playing out in his mind.
His actions may seem perilous, but he held a one-time use teleportation talisman. If there was an irresistible situation, he could teleport out immediately.
"Protect the Emperor!"
Yet, just at that momt, a voice suddly rang out. A rapidly approaching battle formation came into view from a distance. The figure leading the charge was Wei Sh, followed by sev or eight Great Demons of the Divine Realm.
"Wei Sh!" Chu Yuan's brows furrowed.
"Haha, you Demons want to harm His Majesty. First, you'll have to kill me, Wei Sh, and step over my corpse!"
Wei Sh's voice echoed throughout the battlefield.
"Kill the Emperor of Dawu first!"
These sev or eight Demons were each ferocious. Initially, they were hunting Wei Sh, but upon spotting Chu Yuan, they gave up their target and swarmed towards Chu Yuan instead.
"Get lost! Your majesty, I am here to your rescue!"
Wei Sh yelled out, seemingly making a move. But he was inttionally drawing the Great Demons and Original Spirit beasts from a the battlefield. In just a few breaths, Chu Yuan was overwhelmed by dozs of Great Demons and hundreds of Original Spirit beasts.
Create a diversion and kill with a borrowed knife!
Wei Sh was trying to kill Chu Yuan with the hands of these beasts!
If Chu Yuan died, Dawu would certainly plunge into chaos.
And yet, his actions at this momt seemed like he was desperately saving Chu Yuan. Although some smart individuals figured it out, there was no evidce to accuse Wei Sh at this momt.
"His Majesty is in danger! Hurry and save him!"
Seeing Chu Yuan swallowed by the beast, Shangguan Qing Yun and Li Yun's faces twitched. They shouted about saving Chu Yuan, but their actions showed their true inttions as they each gaged with powerful beasts of the Divine Realm, deliberately slowing things down with their fighting.
"Wei Sh, you dare!"
"Follow me to save His Majesty!" cried Huang Yong, the Imperial Secretary of the War Departmt.
"And me, I want to save His Majesty too!" Wei Sh ignored Huang Yong's rage and deliberately lured more beasts to obstruct Huang Yong's rescue, resulting in Huang Yong's incessant roars of frustration but he was helpless.
"Kill Emperor Dawu first!"
The beasts were also howling in anger.
Among the doz or so Divine Realm beast, the one with the highest cultivation was a hawk with wingspans of a hundred feet and black feathers all over.
"Do you want to kill me?"
But Chu Yuan's eyes were very calm, he didn't ev think to crush the teleportation charm. Instead, he pushed his palm forward, "Sacred Fist of Humanity, vanquish the abomination!"
A gust of wind suddly swept out, Chu Yuan exploded with infinite gold light, like an ancit saint emperor establishing a foundation for the human race in a time wh wild beasts prowled. A wave of his fist that swept across everything, tearing through the air, was released.
The majesty of the Saint Emperor immediately swallowed the dozs of Original Spirit Realm beasts, leaving them helplessly witnessing themselves being devoured and disappearing completely.
"The Path of the...Human Saint Emperor!"
The beasts were left in shock at Chu Yuan's display of supreme strgth.
"Emperor of Man, Shaking the World!"
Chu Yuan slammed down his arm, like a pillar of heav, instantly turning a Divine Realm tiger into a burst of blood, exploding op.
"Come now, take this from me!"
Chu Yuan didn't hesitate and used his fierce killing technique. His realm was already at the Original Spirit fifth level, with the power of the Divine Realm's sixth level added to the various powers of three thousand realms. Ev a beast of the Divine Realm's sevth level couldn't possibly be a match for him.
"The Destruction of Humanity!"
He drew on the power of humanity, appearing unimaginably tall and majestic. The beasts of the Original Spirit Realm didn't ev require him to lift a finger. He simply walked through them and the terrifying light of the emperor's power pierced through their bodies.
"This is the power of humanity. Ev Chu Yi doesn't have such a terrifying aura," the hawk said with a blank mind as it watched Chu Yuan's fearsome power.
Its originally gigantic body that was a hundred feet began to shrink rapidly. It shrunk to only t feet, but its aura grew more torrtial, its sharp black feathers waving like swords, fanning out a black storm of devastation.
"Kill! Should you get an upper hand, there would be no place for us to survive!"
There's no time to waste, the hawk charged at Chu Yuan, taking advantage of its profound cultivation and sharp feathers, its mighty pressure gushing out.
Chu Yuan's devouring gaze fell on the hawk. He released a vast light wave from his hand, turning it into the sharpest of claws, and landed a harsh blow on the hawk.
Clang, clang, clang, clang! The hawk retreated over a doz steps, sparks flying off its body, but only a spot appeared, no real damage was inflicted.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha!" the hawk screeched, "Emperor Dawu, I bet you didn't expect that ev a heavly grade weapon would fail to petrate my feathers."
Thud! Chu Yuan clched his fist and landed another heavy blow on the hawk. Its body convulsed violtly, its head humming from the impact, yet it still could not break through the hawk's defse.
"Your hide is thick, but it's not ough!"
Whoosh! In a split second, a sword light burst forth. The hawk saw mockery in Chu Yuan's eyes just before the sword fell. With a crack, a smooth cut appeared at the hawk's neck.
Its head had fall off.
"Ah! My head!"
The hawk screamed out in agony. Its original spirit was in its head, and it wasn't dead yet. But at this point, it looked at the sword in Chu Yuan's hand in terror, and yelled, "You actually cut off my head, no, I can't believe it, I won't die here!"
It could no longer bear this fear and tried to retreat, but Chu Yuan pursued reltlessly, not giving it a chance to escape.
"Your life, I'll take it!"
Chu Yuan held his sword and thrust it into the hawk's fall head, skewering it like a sugar-coated haw.
