Chapter 742, The Difference Between Beasts

Translator: Silavin

Upon the devastated earth, ravines crisscrossed. Faintly, from certain obscure locations, waves of low, violent beast roars transmitted outwards, adding a savage feeling to place!

This was the core region of the ancient battlefield. This territory spanned at least ten thousand kilometres! And the Demonic Beasts within this territory were not only vastly more numerous than those in the outer region, but the Demonic Beasts’ cultivation realms were also extremely terrifying.

According to legend, this ancient battlefield even had Demonic Beasts surpassing Martial Emperor Realm prowling about.

Therefore, in each session of the Imperial Dynasties Assembly, those dying beneath Demonic Beast claws were not a small number!

In normal times, this territory was an absolute Forbidden Area. No one dared intrude within.

But today was clearly somewhat different from the past. As space undulated, figures appeared throughout this territory’s various locations. The region originally filled only with beast roars immediately became somewhat clamorous and turbulent.

And this large-scale Human intrusion also drew the attention of this territory’s Demonic Beasts. Thus, when numerous figures descended into this territory, waves of miserable screams and Demonic Beast roars resounded and reverberated throughout the region.

The core region’s Demonic Beasts now allowed the numerous geniuses entering within to experience their ferocity once again.

“These Demonic Beasts are really troublesome!” Qin Yichen punched back a Peak Stage Martial King Demonic Beast with one strike. But the creature was thick-skinned and sturdy. Merely rolling on the ground to dissipate the impact, its form once again lunged towards Qin Yichen. Those cold-gleaming claws and fangs went straight for Qin Yichen’s vital points.

Seeing this, Qin Yichen’s brows could not help but furrow. As long as one did not make these Demonic Beasts lose their mobility, they seemingly would never give up.

Glancing sideways at the small beast sleeping on his shoulder, he couldn’t help feeling emotional in his heart. Both were beasts, but how could the difference be so vast?

Like Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai following beside Little Ling’er. Which of them was not imposing, looking down upon all directions? How was this grey, nondescript little gecko clinging to him so useless? Completely devoid of any utility!

If not because it had emerged from that meteorite, Qin Yichen would have discarded it.

While feeling emotional, Qin Yichen did not drag things out. He directly slaughtered that Peak Stage Martial King Demonic Beast. Afterwards, his gaze swept around in all directions. In the distant areas around him, combat disturbances transmitted everywhere. A nauseating bloody stench also permeated throughout this territory, attracting even more Demonic Beasts!

Detecting this scene, Qin Yichen’s eyes condensed slightly. He knew this was merely shortly after entering the core region. Moreover, it seemed his location had quite a distance from the meeting point agreed upon with Liu Yun and the others.

“This Imperial Dynasties Assembly truly isn’t something ordinary people can survive through.” Qin Yichen murmured quietly. This was still only daytime. If it were night, when Evil Energy pervaded and those Demonic Beasts became even more violent, and within the ancient battlefield’s core region there were no so-called gathering places. The geniuses who had struggled to enter the true Imperial Dynasties Assembly would probably shrink by a small half at that time!

“First, I need to leave this place!” Sensing the ground beginning to tremble slightly, Qin Yichen knew the bloody stench here had already attracted quite a few Demonic Beasts. Immediately, after checking the map, his form shot violently towards the eastern direction.

As large batches of geniuses from various Imperial Dynasties surged inward, the ancient battlefield’s core region never ceased its activity. And under this continuous slaughter, everyone’s speed slowed considerably. Simultaneously, the sky’s colour also gradually arrived amidst numerous people’s tense gazes!

When that trace of afterglow upon the horizon was about to fall below the earth’s edge, the originally mutually vigilant geniuses also began slowly converging. Although they were relatively safer with each other, no one could relax their vigilance. Compared to the night’s violent Demonic Beasts, they still had no choice but to temporarily unite.

If one could not even endure the first night, what could be said of obtaining opportunities and standing out in the Imperial Dynasties Assembly?

Under the oppressive atmosphere, temporary camps swiftly appeared throughout the core region’s various concealed locations.

At a certain concealed location, over ten people sat quietly cross-legged. Beside everyone lay blades and swords emanating cold, forest-like colours. Although over ten people were present, not one person opened their mouth for idle chatter. A tense, heavy atmosphere shrouded this simple camp.

Qin Yichen sat at a corner of this camp, his face similarly bearing some gravity. Here there were no sturdy city walls to depend upon. The simply constructed camp merely had some camouflage. If discovered by Demonic Beasts, one careless moment could result in total annihilation!

The ten-odd people within the camp all watched their surroundings with vigilant expressions, maintaining a few metres distances between each other. During this night, they not only had to worry about Demonic Beasts, but simultaneously guard against fellow Humans’ sinister intentions!

*Whoosh!* Within this silent, tense atmosphere, suddenly a wind-breaking sound resonated from afar. Then a figure appeared at one side of the camp!

This figure’s emanating aura undulations made the camp’s occupants’ eyes brighten. A Mid Stage Martial Emperor!

At the camp’s centre, the strongest among the ten-odd people was similarly a Mid Stage Martial Emperor. Upon seeing the suddenly appearing figure, a trace of joy flashed through his eyes. From the latter’s body, he detected an extremely dangerous feeling. Clearly, the latter’s strength was not weaker than his own.

“Fellow Brother, why not enter the camp?” If they could recruit a same-level expert together, naturally it would be more secure. Thus, this Mid Stage Martial Emperor immediately softly called out.

Hearing the disturbance, Qin Yichen also glanced sideways. When he saw the figure standing at the camp’s front, his pupils suddenly contracted. That youth was precisely one of the Mid Stage Martial Emperors who had followed beside Xia Lieyang back in the gathering place!

[Truly, adversaries are always bound to meet…] Qin Yichen sighed inwardly. Before he could lower his head, the latter’s gaze had already swept over. When their eyes met, that Mid Stage Martial Emperor’s eyes also flashed with a trace of astonishment. Clearly, he felt quite surprised that Qin Yichen could reach this stage and moreover had been encountered by himself.

However, very quickly this trace of astonishment transformed into a kind of playful smile!

“Fellow Brother, I am Purple Approach Imperial Dynasty’s Lin Zihei. Why not remain here tonight together to wait for the night to end? How about it?”

At the camp’s centre, that Mid Stage Martial Emperor had already stood up, smiling as he attempted to recruit the figure before the camp.

“Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty, Xia Baquan.” Facing this expert not much weaker than himself, the Mid Stage Martial Emperor following beside Xia Lieyang also announced his own name.
