Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 540: Chapter 540: This Supreme God Sovereign, is Truly Terrifying

Upon a distant mountain peak.

A team of roughly two hundred people had halted there.

The middle-aged man at the front, hands behind his back, stared into the distance, an expression of astonishment on his face. ”Have these Ghost Beasts gone mad? They’ve attacked for a day without any sign of stopping. What exactly are they after?” the middle-aged man exclaimed.

”Whatever the reason, all we need to do is reap the benefits of their fight,” an elderly man at his side said with a dark smile, clearly unconcerned.

”I’m afraid it’s not just us, Senior Brother. Have a look in those other directions,” the middle-aged man sighed, pointing.

”What?” The elder quickly focused his vision and scanned the indicated directions, his expression subtly changing.

Indeed, on the distant, black-mist-shrouded mountain peaks, many people were quietly waiting. It seemed they were waiting for the number of Ghost Beasts to drop to a certain level before they would officially make their move and join the Ghost Beast extermination.

”There are only two Human-shaped Soul Beasts, yet so many competitors. The opportunities in the Ancient Star Tomb are truly not easy to seize!” the elder sighed, spreading his hands in resignation.

”Of course. The Cultivation Techniques and mystical treasures passed down from the Ancient Clan are top-notch, naturally attracting many competitors,” the middle-aged man laughed. Faced with the growing number of competitors, his expression became more resolute, his eyes filled with confidence.

Situations like this were playing out on other mountain peaks at roughly the same time. Because the number of Ghost Beasts was simply too vast, no one had chosen to take immediate action.

「Another day passed.」

The number of Ghost Beasts had drastically reduced, with only one-third of their original number remaining.

”Who on earth is in there, to be able to hold out for so long!” the middle-aged man said in astonishment, unable to suppress the turmoil in his heart.

”The distance is simply too great; we can’t clearly see the battle situation inside...” the elder shook his head. The continuous battle, lasting two days and nights, had also greatly surprised him. After much thought, there was only one possibility: the other party also has a large number of Cultivators battling the Ghost Beasts...

「Another half a day passed.」

The number of Ghost Beasts had decreased by half again.

Their group was eager to move. They soared into the air and flew forward a certain distance. At this moment, the middle-aged man used his Divine Sense to scan the center of the battlefield.

One glance was all it took to shock him.

Within the combat zone surrounded by Ghost Beasts, there was only a single Celestial Boat. A man in white stood upon it. Around the Celestial Boat, about a hundred Cultivators were locked in fierce battle with the Ghost Beasts. Every Cultivator was covered in blood, yet their fighting spirit was high, and they fought without any sign of chaos. Ghost Beasts were continuously cut down under their swords.

”’These are people from the Supreme Forgetful Love Palace and the Yoga Master Palace, right?’ The middle-aged man’s pupils contracted slightly. He recognized them immediately and, turning to the elder, continued in disbelief, ’With just a hundred-person squad, how can they last so long? They’ve eliminated nearly four-fifths of the Ghost Beasts!’”

”I’m not quite sure either, but those two Divine Halos around them are exceptionally mystical. Perhaps it was those that blocked the Ghost Beasts’ attacks,” the elder spoke with gravity.

”’This Supreme God Sovereign is truly terrifying...’ The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, gazing at the white figure, a look of dread in his eyes.”

”They’re overwhelmed now. It’s the perfect time for us to attack the Ghost Beasts from behind. If we can kill the Human-shaped Soul Beasts and obtain their Cultivation Techniques or mystical treasures, we’ll leave this place immediately,” the elder said anxiously.

”Good, let’s move!” The middle-aged man nodded quickly, waved his hand, and issued the command to attack.

Immediately, their group launched an assault toward the Human-shaped Soul Beasts. Naturally, many different kinds of Ghost Beasts were protecting the Human-shaped Soul Beasts. Seeing the Cultivators attack, a portion of the Ghost Beasts immediately rushed forward to meet them.

And just at this moment, those Cultivators who had been lying in wait from afar also made their move. They initiated a secondary counter-encirclement, launching fierce attacks against the Ghost Beasts. Attacked from both front and rear, the Ghost Beasts’ formation briefly fell into disarray.

The two Human-shaped Soul Beasts, seeing this, put their fingers to their lips and let out a hurried sound.

”Not good! Strike quickly! He’s summoning other Ghost Beasts!” a Cultivator from the Human Race shouted, his face paling.

There were simply too many Ghost Beasts in the Ancient Star Tomb. If a large number more were summoned, they would have no way to kill these two Human-shaped Soul Beasts.

”These Cultivators are truly shameless. We’re here fighting bravely, and they think they can just reap the rewards? Impossible!” Ye Yun, standing on the Celestial Boat, stared at the battlefield with sharp eyes, a cold smirk playing on his lips.

Those two Human-shaped Soul Beasts belong to me and no one else. I’m curious to see if these two Human-shaped Soul Beasts will drop Cultivation Technique Jade Slips and mystical treasures.

He glanced around and saw a few Disciples who were seriously injured. He immediately flicked out a few drops of green Water of Life. As the Water of Life infused their bodies, their injuries rapidly healed, and they threw themselves back into the fight.

These past few days, Ye Yun had consistently used this method to sustain his Disciples, and even the Yoga Godlord was no exception. There was no other choice; the sheer number of attacking Ghost Beasts was overwhelming, and Ye Yun, not wanting to intervene directly, had resorted to using the Water of Life. The small bottle in his hand contained a pocket dimension, holding an amount of Water of Life comparable to several Dongting Lakes. And in his storage, he naturally had many more such bottles.

Ye Yun never lacked resources. The outrageous System of daily sign-ins had granted him far too many resources from across the heavens.

Under the frenzied assault of Cultivators from the major factions, the number of Ghost Beasts was rapidly dwindling. Some began to approach the Human-shaped Soul Beasts, preparing to strike them down.

Ye Yun drew his Vajra Hammer, his figure flickered, and in an instant, he vanished from the Celestial Boat.

BOOM!

Ye Yun suddenly reappeared, smashing the Vajra Hammer onto a Human-shaped Soul Beast. The unfortunate creature never expected someone with such terrifying speed to exist within the Ancient Star Tomb. Its body instantly exploded into a mist of blood.

Nothing dropped? Seeing nothing emerge, Ye Yun shook his head in disappointment. He vanished again, reappearing beside the other Human-shaped Soul Beast.

The Human-shaped Soul Beast, seeing Ye Yun suddenly materialize, had an expression of utter horror.

”Stay away!” the Human-shaped Soul Beast screamed, raising its sword and slashing at Ye Yun.

BOOM!

Ye Yun, wielding the Vajra Hammer, parried the sword strike.

”Unexpected! Human-shaped Soul Beasts can even talk. But I’m more curious about what you’ll drop.” Ye Yun smiled faintly, raised his Vajra Hammer, and brought it down directly onto the Human-shaped Soul Beast.

BOOM!

The Human-shaped Soul Beast perished on the spot.

Within the blood mist, a crystalline Jade Slip floated. Ye Yun swiftly snatched it.

”The Supreme God Sovereign... is truly formidable. We’d best not provoke him.” Watching the Supreme God Sovereign, Vajra Hammer in hand, effortlessly slaughter the two powerful Human-shaped Soul Beasts in an instant, the surrounding Cultivators shuddered. None dared to make another move, and they all scattered in a panic.

Without the Human-shaped Soul Beasts to command them, the few remaining Ghost Beasts also dispersed.

For a moment, the entire area was left with only the Disciples from the Yoga Master Palace and the Supreme Forgetful Love Palace.

”Thinking of profiting without lifting a finger? How could I give you such an opportunity?” Watching the fleeing Cultivators, Ye Yun smiled faintly, his expression serene and composed.

Just as he was about to examine the newly acquired Jade Slip, the wind suddenly howled and clouds surged, the very color of the heavens and earth changing. A vast black cloud rapidly approached from the distance.

Are more Ghost Beasts coming? Ye Yun looked into the distance.

However, the next second, a look of shock appeared on his face.

Within the dense black cloud, at least a thousand Black Dragons were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, roaring as they rushed toward him.
