I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

"roar--!!!"

A roar.

It didn't sound like the roar of a beast; it sounded more like the screams of countless wronged souls in the deep well.

The sound wasn't loud, but it had a penetrating quality.

On the city wall.

Lei Wanshan, who was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly turned pale.

He clutched his chest, feeling as if his heart was being gripped tightly by a large, cold hand.

"That voice..."

Lei Wanshan stared intently at the distant mist, his pupils contracting sharply.

"Is it the Earth-Splitting Demon Ape?"

"No! I've heard that old monkey's cry for ten years; it can't be this kind of weird noise!"

The fog rolled in.

A colossal, breathtaking figure slowly emerged from the horizon.

With every step taken, the earth groans in agony.

thump.

thump.

thump.

As the figure gradually became clearer, the expressions of Lei Wanshan and Zhang Yue changed from shock to terror.

What is that?

All eyes were focused on the enormous creature that emerged from the mist.

It's so ugly.

If the previous strange beasts were merely ferocious in appearance, then these things before us are simply challenging the lowest limits of human aesthetics.

Its main body is still that Earth-Splitting Demon Ape.

Standing over thirty meters tall, its entire body was covered in granite-hard, dark brown armor, and with each step it took, spiderweb-like cracks would appear on the ground.

But at this moment, this once magnificent body resembles a rag doll hastily pieced together by a clumsy tailor.

On its right scapula, the skin and flesh were turned outwards, and a huge wing, which was nothing but white bone and rotting flesh, was stuck in it.

Those are the wings of a fifth-tier beast king, the Bloodthirsty Dragon Eagle.

Even though only half of it remained, it still exuded a chilling power of wind and thunder, and dark red arcs of electricity occasionally flickered beneath its skeletal wingspan.

Look down.

The area where the demon ape's pectoral muscles were originally thick has now become a huge, hollow, fleshy tumor.

A triangular black snake head emerged from the rotten flesh, its scarlet tongue flicking wildly, and its sinister snake eyes fixed on the crowd on the city wall.

A fifth-tier exotic beast, the Blackwater Serpent!

But on its back lies the most chilling sight.

Dozens of thick, purplish-red vines were deeply rooted in the spine of the demonic ape, like a group of greedy parasites, sucking nutrients from their host.

At the tip of each vine grows a bloodshot eyeball, which rotates erratically, observing all directions.

A fifth-tier exotic beast, the Blood Shadow Demon Vine!

Four in one.

This is a complete Frankenstein's monster.

"roar--!!!"

The demonic ape opened its blood-red maw, but what it emitted was not a monkey's cry, but a demonic sound that mixed the hiss of snakes, the cry of eagles, and the screams of countless vengeful spirits.

The sound waves are visible to the naked eye.

Many of the city's soldiers with lower cultivation levels couldn't help but kneel on the ground and vomit violently after being mentally impacted by the monster's sonic waves.

That kind of spiritual pollution is more disgusting than physical attacks.

……

High in the sky.

Shen Tian stood with his hands behind his back, the lightning in his eyes gradually fading, replaced by a deep and solemn expression.

"That's interesting."

He was looking at the gray mist emanating from the monster.

He was all too familiar with that aura.

Not long ago, while chasing the Shadow Demon, he accidentally wandered into a shattered void ruin.

It's this kind of gray fog!

"I see."

A sudden realization flashed through Shen Tian's mind.

The Shadow Demon that we encountered earlier, infected by the gray mist, had long since lost its mind and become a beast that only knew how to kill and devour.

But this big guy in front of us is different.

Although its eyes were filled with madness, the cunning hidden behind that madness did not escape Shen Tian's perception of [Heavenly Heart Connection].

It has reason.

It could even be said that its intelligence is no lower than that of humans.

Shen Tian looked down at the enormous creature slowly approaching, a cold smile playing on his lips.

The previous beast tides, with their endless resurrections, were not due to any kind of immortality.

Instead, this monster used the properties of the gray fog to forcibly deplete the life essence of those low-level alien beasts, causing them to stand up again and again to serve as cannon fodder.

This is an extremely clever tactic.

If it were an ordinary human army, it would have been worn down by this human wave tactic long ago.

Once the defending troops are out of ammunition and food, this monster will come out to reap the rewards, making it a bloodless victory.

pity.

It encountered Shen Tian.

Shen Tian killed them too quickly.

It was faster than it could calculate, faster than it could feel the pinch.

Each time a monster is resurrected, the primordial gray mist within the stitched-together monster is consumed.

After Shen Tian harvested several waves of alien beasts in just twenty minutes, like cutting leeks, the BOSS hiding behind the scenes finally couldn't sit still anymore.

If it doesn't come out soon, that human will squander all of its wealth!

"Getting impatient?"

Shen Tian muttered to himself, his eyes beginning to gleam with fighting spirit.

"It's good that you're in a hurry."

"You fattened yourself up like this, wasn't it all for this moment?"

……

On the city wall.

The atmosphere was oppressive.

Lei Wanshan gripped his battle sword tightly.

"Old Zhang..."

His voice was somewhat hoarse.

"Did you feel it?"

Zhang Yue nodded, his face ashen.

"I can feel it."

"This aura... has already surpassed the realm of the early stage of the sixth rank."

Both of them looked very unwell.

If it were an ordinary sixth-tier beast king, even a powerful Earth-Splitting Demon Ape in its prime, Lei Wanshan could handle it alone.

With the two of them working together, plus the support of the city's defensive artillery, they can easily win.

But this monster in front of us is too eerie.

The gray mist swirling around it was enough to cause one's internal energy to stagnate with just a glance.

This is not even a force of one dimension!

"That beast ate the other beast kings."

Zhang Yue took a deep breath, suddenly turned his head, and looked at the young figure floating in mid-air not far away.

The boy's back remained upright.

But compared to that terrifying monster that was over thirty meters tall, it seemed so small.

"Old Lei."

Zhang Yue suddenly laughed, a rather tragic laugh.

"We old bones have lived this long enough, that's enough."

Lei Wanshan was taken aback, then grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth.

"I understand what you mean."

"We can lose Wind City, we can die."

"But Master Shen..."

Their eyes met in mid-air, instantly reaching a tacit understanding that only comrades could comprehend.

Shen Tian is a genius.

It's a monster.

He is a rare innate awakener, a phenomenon that occurs only once every few centuries in the martial arts world of China.

His future lies in the stars and the sea, at the summit of Kunlun, not in this small, windy city ruin!

As long as Shen Tian lives, even if Fengcheng becomes a dead zone today, someone will definitely be able to avenge this blood debt in the future!

"Pass on my military orders!"

Zhang Yue suddenly drew his sword from his waist and roared fiercely:

"All members of the Po Jun Division, fight to the death!"

"Cover Master Shen's retreat!!!"

boom--!

Lei Wanshan went even further, his body crackling with lightning, unleashing the full force of a sixth-tier martial artist.

He was like a furious lion, taking a step forward to charge at that terrifying stitched monster.

"Master Shen! Let's go!"

"I'm going to break a few of its teeth, you find a chance..."

however.

He hadn't finished speaking.

A sharp, explosive sound suddenly rang in my ears.

Bang! ! !

That wasn't the sound of a bomb exploding.

That was a sonic boom produced by the instantaneous compression of air followed by violent tearing.

Lei Wanshan only felt a blur before his eyes.

A gust of wind swept over him, abruptly silencing the words he was about to say.

He raised his head blankly.

The boy who had been hovering beside them had vanished.

Instead.

It was a streak of light trailing a golden-blue afterimage.

Shen Tian made a move.

He ignored the two old men behind him who were about to put on a "melodramatic" show.

He was charging.

Before that terrifying monster, thirty meters tall and exuding overwhelming ferocity.

That tiny human being, like a bullet fired from a gun, charged forward with unstoppable momentum!

"Since you're here, don't leave."

The boy's voice echoed in the wind, carrying a sense of arrogance and absolute confidence.

"Let me see what good stuff you can drop for me!"

brush--!!!

A pair of enormous wings with a wingspan of over ten meters suddenly unfurled behind Shen Tian.

Garuda - Wings That Hang Over the Sky!

The dark gold feathers reflected a cold metallic luster in the sunlight, each feather resembling a sharp scalpel.

Shen Tian's speed increased dramatically once again.

In that hazy, gray world, he was like a bolt of lightning piercing the night.

It points directly to the heart of that Frankenstein's monster!

"this……"

Lei Wanshan's foot froze in mid-air, completely dumbfounded.

He stared at the retreating figure rushing forward without hesitation, his mind buzzing.

The script is wrong!

At this point, shouldn't it be us two old veterans who risked our lives to cover the retreat, and then the genius retreated with tears in his eyes, vowing that fortunes would change every thirty years?

How did you manage to go on top by yourself?!

That's a mutated beast king!

That was a monster that even we dared not confront head-on!

"Old Zhang..."

Lei Wanshan swallowed hard, his voice slightly unsteady:

"Do you think... is there a possibility?"

"Master Shen didn't even consider that thing a threat?"
