Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 1196 Battle of King-Level Monsters
The Origin World, Third Layer.

After Chunhe Wang finished his meditation, he reactivated the communication notification for the Gaia Mark.

Soon, she received a message from her niece, Hongxiao.

“Aunt, I’ve discovered that Steelheart is utterly hopeless. He’s already considering giving up. In the last three months before the final push, instead of going to the border battlefield or the Origin World, he’s been going out for a stroll! ...You really misjudged him!”

Chunhe Wang shook his head slightly and replied with a message: "Since you think he is beyond redemption, then come back."

After a while, Hongxiao replied with a message: "...I think I'll think about it some more! We've been together for more than half a year, so what's one more three months?"

Chunhe Wang replied with a (smiling) emoji.

It roughly means the same as "hehe" from Earth.

After ending the communication, Chunhe and Wang arrived at the control room on the first floor.

"It's been a while since I've seen Steelheart's true comprehension results. Let me take a look... Hmm, nine stars for four constellations, and eight stars for the other constellations?"

Chunhe Wang pondered. This speed was already quite astonishing, almost ten times that of other S-level members of the genius camp.

"However, there is still a gap compared to the goals Gangxin set for himself. We'll see how far he can go in the last three months."

"Speaking of which, they've been together for over half a year, and Hongxiao hasn't noticed at all... Gangxin is quite good at hiding things. I thought I'd have to remind him, but it seems I won't need to now."

……

Razer.

Beneath the Thunder Pool lies the Thunder Beast Cave.

Hancun stood before the Thunder Horned Kui Ox.

Hancun was quite afraid of this three-star king-level monster.

But since it was his master's mission, Hancun could not back down no matter what.

Unexpectedly, the Thunderhorn Kui Bull did not attack Han Village. It merely sniffed the air with its enormous nostrils, a knowing glint in its eyes, and a mental fluctuation immediately followed:

"You carry his scent. You are his servant!"

"Yes!"

Hancun breathed a sigh of relief. By using Bai Pu's status as a servant, Hancun had passed the most difficult hurdle: the initial meeting.

Next, it will be up to Hancun to demonstrate his abilities. After completing this task, Hancun will need to traverse the Thunder Marsh and head towards Beiman City.

Hancun cleared his throat: "Respected Thunderhorn Kui Ox, I have come to help you on behalf of my master's will!"

……

Two days passed quickly.

Dark clouds covered the sky above Leize.

The figures of various demonic beasts appeared faintly in the dark clouds.

On the ground, there were also groups of demonic beasts, each with a powerful aura, coming from the east and heading towards the heart of the Thunder Swamp.

The lead thundercloud python churned within the gloomy thunderclouds, occasionally peeking out its enormous head from the clouds.

Its entire body is covered in scales crackling with wisps of electricity, and its forked tongue flickers like a forked lightning bolt.

"hold head high!"

With a loud roar, the rolling sound waves spread across the Thunder Swamp.

It contains a strong sense of provocation.

Thundercloud Python is provoking and luring Thunderhorn Kui Bull into battle!
A beastly roar echoed above Thunder Pool, the roar of the Thunder Horned Kui Bull sounding like a heavy war drum.

Along with this roar, many Thunder Swamp monsters emerged from other places and converged on Thunder Swamp, quickly forming a monster formation.

"This is an alien king-level monster challenging another local king-level monster... Two king-level monsters fighting for territory, monster wars are rare."

Before Leichi, beneath a hill, lies the elite human alliance of Beiman City and Huaixi City.

The human alliance was gazing at the East Sea monster group from afar. The person who had just spoken was Dongfang Hong, the city lord of Huaixi City.

"Up close, that Thundercloud Python doesn't seem to be as strong as the Thunderhorn Kui Niu," said Nangong Jing, the city lord of Beiman City, frowning. "The Thundercloud Python is probably a two-star king, while the Thunderhorn Kui Niu should be a three-star king."

"However, judging from the number of powerful demonic beasts under the command of the Thundercloud Python, it is clear that the number of powerful demonic beasts under its command is greater than that of the Thunderhorn Kui Bull. Moreover, I have seen that some demonic beasts unique to the Thunder Swamp have also joined the Thundercloud Python's ranks..."

Sha Tongtian frowned and said that he saw a group of familiar black birds through the gaps in the thunderclouds where the thundercloud pythons had gathered.

That was a strange bird unique to Raize, called the Ironfeather Owl.

Last time, when Sha Tongtian organized a team to go to Leize to compete for the Thunder Horn Core, they encountered a group of Iron Feather Owls, which caused the team a lot of trouble. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the Thunder Horn Kui Niu, this group of Iron Feather Owls would have been really difficult to deal with.

"This situation is very abnormal. Monsters also have intelligence and know how to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. It is a natural choice for monsters to seek refuge with the strong."

City Lord Dongfang Hong of Huaixi City said in a deep voice, "Since many demonic beasts have chosen to pledge allegiance to the Thundercloud Python... it means that these demonic beasts believe that the Thundercloud Python's side is more powerful!"

"This matches the intelligence. The East Sea Monster Group doesn't just have one Thundercloud Python; there are other king-level monsters as well," said Nangong Jing, the city lord of Beimang City, in a deep voice.

Sha Tongtian looked at Hancun: "Brother Hancun, putting everything else aside for now, when will Bai Pu, whom you mentioned, and his powerful reinforcements arrive? The great battle has already begun, and with our current allied forces, we are simply not strong enough to intervene in the war between king-level demonic beasts!"

Sha Tongtian was always puzzled. He was very familiar with Hancun, but he never imagined that Hancun and Bai Pu would get in touch.

Initially, Han Cun, as an envoy of Bei Mang City, helped Sha Tongtian seize shops in Huai Xi City. Later, Bai Pu suddenly appeared and attacked Han Cun.

Logically, Hancun should have harbored ill will towards Baipu.

However, Hancun's behavior was extremely respectful to Bai Pu, as if he were afraid of offending him.

This is obviously not normal.

Han Cun explained that Bai Pu came from a reclusive family and was a direct descendant of the family, while he, Han Cun, was merely an outer disciple of the family.

Bai Pu didn't know Han Cun at first, which led to the conflict. Later, they proved each other's identities through family tokens, thus turning hostility into friendship and clarifying the master-servant relationship.

Sha Tongtian couldn't see through the control and transformation of the Pureblood Guardian, and naturally, he couldn't imagine that this was the method of an evolved being. He became even more wary of Bai Pu, and also believed that Bai Pu had a powerful clan background.

This is also why Sha Tongtian had high hopes for Bai Pu. Although Bai Pu's powerful background made him wary, it also provided a sense of security when the demon beast army was pressing in.

If we could summon experts from the powerful clan behind Bai Pu, we might be able to turn the situation around.

The question Sha Tongtian asked was also something the other city lords and clan leaders wanted to know. In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on Han Village.

Han Cun said, "Don't worry, everyone, Lord Bai Pu will come. We only need to help the demon beast group under Lei Jiao Kui Niu's command to resist the demon beast group from the East Sea. As for the war against the king-level demon beasts, Lei Jiao Kui Niu will handle it for now..."

Each person bears a faint energy mark left by the Thunderhorn Kui Bull, a means used by the Thunder Swamp monster horde to distinguish friend from foe.

With the energy aura of the Thunderhorn Kui Bull, one will not be attacked by the Thunder Swamp monster horde.

Even as they were talking, the two groups of demonic beasts had already begun to fight.

On the ground, groups of rock-shelled giant crabs, blue-water turtles, and other demonic beasts from the East Sea crawled quickly, either throwing energy-infused giant rocks or spitting out energy-infused blue-water arrows.

In the sky, the Crimson-beaked Fire Kite spews flames from a distance, while the Iron-feathered Owl pounces at close range.

On the Thunder Swamp monster side, there were groups of Thunder Salamanders, Thunder Birds, and other monsters ready to fight.

In an instant, energy intertwined, creating a deafening roar and causing the earth to tremble.

The Thunderhorn Kui Bull and the Thundercloud Python, two king-level demonic beasts, did not remain in the central army, but instead charged ahead.

The Thunderhorn Kui Bull unleashed its thunderous power, continuously firing floating lightning balls. At the same time, its powerful body rammed into the monsters, knocking over and sending them flying, before turning them into charred remains.

The Thundercloud Python also unleashed its thundercloud might, its body weaving through the thunderclouds, appearing at almost impossible, subtle angles each time. Its huge, tooth-filled maw opened, chewing and swallowing thunderbirds one by one.

Most pythons don't have teeth, but this thundercloud python is an exception.

Soon, the Thunderhorn Kui Bull and the Thundercloud Python collided violently. Under the combined attack of the thunderstorm and the thundercloud, the thundercloud was slightly suppressed.

The Thundercloud Python's long, thick body coiled around the Thunderhorn Kui Bull, slowly tightening, attempting to use its instinctive strangulation technique to deal with the Thunderhorn Kui Bull.

However, the lightning net on the surface of the Thunderhorn Kui Bull's body flickered, and a huge amount of lightning energy spread rapidly. With crackling and dazzling arcs of electricity, the Thundercloud Python was shaken loose, and its scales flew off.

If it weren't for the Thundercloud Python's amazing resistance to lightning, this counterattack with its entire body covered in lightning would have taken half its life.

As a three-star king-level monster, the Thunderhorn Kui Bull only has two hind legs to support its body. Its only weapon for melee combat is the large horn on its head, making its melee ability far inferior to that of normal creatures.

Therefore, the strength of the Thunder Horned Kui Niu lies in its extremely pure and comprehensive lightning-type spell skills. At the same time, its own "lightning damage penetration" (equivalent to the armor-piercing effect of advanced Qi skills) is also extremely high, ignoring 50% of the enemy's lightning resistance!
The Thundercloud Python's direct attempt to coil and entangle, seeking melee combat, was truly reckless.

"on!"

Seeing that the Thunderhorn Kui Bull's side still had an advantage, the experts of the human alliance did not wait any longer and rushed forward to help the Thunder Swamp monster group deal with the East Sea monster group.

In everyone's eyes, the Thundercloud Python was no match for the Thunderhorn Kui Ox. This time, the Thundercloud Python has made a comeback and will probably only bring shame upon itself again!
If the human alliance can establish a good relationship with the Thunderhorn Kui Bull through this, it will naturally bring many benefits in the future.

Leaving aside the various rare and precious herbs that grow in the Thunder Marsh, just the fact that caravans can travel freely between Beiman City and Huaixi City can bring in a lot of profits.

"Hey, look at that Thundercloud Python. It suffered a great loss, but it still won't give up on getting close and coiling around. Hasn't it been shocked enough?" A Ye Clan elite disciple pointed at the two king-level demon beasts locked in combat and laughed.

Ye Qingmei looked up and saw that the Thundercloud Python was wrapped in the lightning net of the Thunderhorn Kui Niu, trying its best to press down its body and refusing to let go.

The Thunderhorn Kui Bull didn't tolerate it either. Although the electric grid around its body was deformed by the constriction, it had already accumulated a second wave of electrical energy.

At the same time, the Thunder Horned Kui Niu suddenly leaped to the side and delivered a powerful Iron Mountain Lean, causing half of a nearby hill to collapse.

This "Iron Mountain Lean" was not a skill, but simply an instinctive action of the Thunder Horned Kui Ox to counter the giant python's coils.

However, this instinctive action, given the Thunderhorn Kui Bull's strength rating of over 2000 points, still brought terrifying destructive power. The Thundercloud Python, coiled around the Thunderhorn Kui Bull's body, was hurt by the impact, and its body loosened somewhat weakly.

However, another giant raven appeared in the sky!
The giant raven suddenly flapped its wings, creating a fierce wind that tore everything apart between heaven and earth.

The overwhelming force of the azure gale was so powerful that the Thunderbird, Iron-feathered Owl, and other demonic beasts that could not dodge in time were directly torn apart by the sharp, knife-like gale.

Even the Thunder Horned Kui Niu's thunderous power was overwhelmed by the combined attack of the azure gale and thunderclouds.

As the Thunderhorn Kui Bull fought against the Thundercloud Python, its massive body slid down inch by inch under the pressure of the azure gale, its feet sinking into the swamp like thick pillars.

"The Rending Wind Crow... another two-star king-level demonic beast!"

Sha Tongtian nervously swallowed. "Brother Hancun, when will the reinforcements arrive?"

Before Sha Tongtian could finish his question, a sudden change occurred in the scene!
A flash of light disappeared in an instant, and before anyone could see it clearly, a terrible wound was instantly cut open on the body of the Thunderhorn Kui Bull, and blood gushed out!

Following the aurora, everyone looked up and discovered a strange creature that looked like a flying mantis floating in the air.

This flying mantis had bizarre, colorful spots of light shimmering on its body, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing. Its four pairs of slightly trembling, transparent, thin-film wings and the two long blades on its forelimbs were actually invisible.

If it weren't for the drops of blood rolling down the blade, you wouldn't even be able to see the length of its blade!
"What kind of monster is this? It feels like another king-level demon beast..." Ye Qingmei's voice trembled slightly.

She was asking the clan leader, Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu said in a low voice, "This is... the Eclipse Light Scythe Mantis, an ancient demon beast clan that is said to be extinct. I didn't expect that there would be one in the East Sea Demon Beast Group, and it's even a two-star king level..."

After a pause, Ye Xiu continued, "Be careful, the Eclipse Light Scythe Mantis is a Light Extreme Beast, an extremely terrifying assassin. Since a two-star King-level Eclipse Light Scythe Mantis has appeared, it means that there are still quite a few Lord-level Eclipse Light Scythe Mantises lurking within the East Sea Beast Group..."

Ye Qingmei couldn't help but ask, "But can the Thunderhorn Kui Bull really withstand the siege of three king-level demonic beasts?"

"Of course they can't hold out... The three king-level demonic beasts came prepared."

Ye Xiu was somewhat impressed by the tactics of the three king-level demon beasts. Last time, the Thundercloud Python came alone, obviously to test the Thunderhorn Kui Bull's abilities.

After discovering that the Thunder Horned Kui Bull possessed a Thunder Net skill that combined offense and defense, the Thunder Cloud Python used a clumsy constriction technique to force the Thunder Horned Kui Bull to pour all its electrical energy into itself, which had the highest lightning resistance.

With the energy of the lightning net damaged, a vulnerability naturally appeared in the protection of the Thunderhorn Kui Bull itself. The Eclipse Light Scythe Mantis, lurking in the shadows, struck decisively.

As for the Gale Raven in the sky, it was merely using the "Gale Rending Force" to suppress the Thunder Horned Ox's movements, ensuring that the Eclipse Light Scythe Mantis could hit its target in one strike.

Therefore, Ye Xiu couldn't help but look at Han Cun and press him again for that crucial question:

When exactly will Young Master Bai Pu arrive?
