Chapter 371 It’s Better To Be Alive

A few kilometers away, about ten people penetrated like a sharp knife into the beast herd. They were also like a massive road roller where ferocious beasts in their paths ended up in a blood bath and vanished.

Elder Universe and two of the Ni family’s great ancestors were the ones who led the way. They held an unbelievably sharp and powerful magic tool each, where there were great blood-sheds whenever they slashed the ferocious beasts in their way regardless of the beasts’ thick skins.

They were unstoppable as they headed for the three Earthly Dragon Beasts. As tall and as sturdy the city walls were, they would not be able to survive the crashes from these humongous creatures. If the walls crumbled, not only would the Humans’ lives be at risk, but the Supreme Great Ancestors would be doomed too.

Knowing this very well, the great ancestors initiated the attack regardless of the cost. They were determined to slaughter the three creatures even if it was extremely dangerous.

There were innumerable ferocious beasts, and they were fearless. In particular, the beasts in the great ancestors’ ways were not hesitant at all even though they knew they were going to be killed by the weapons. It was as though they lost their survival instincts and were only set on ripping their enemies into pieces. In fact, the beasts were committed to achieving their goal by hook or by crook and were willing to sacrifice.

Elder Universe stabbed with his sword, whose spear tip oddly slit a ferocious beast’s throat, causing a foul smell and dirty blood to fill the air. It had only been a short while, but the elder and the other great ancestors were subconsciously feeling tired.

This was because they had killed over 1,000 ferocious beasts so far and were infinitely approaching a 10,000 kill count! Among the dead beasts, three of them were even great-ancestor-level half-spirit beasts. Their result was so brilliant that anyone would treat them with more respect! Nonetheless, the violent attacks from the beasts had also forced the powerhouses to consume substantial amounts of essential Qi, and several men were even slightly injured. Although they were not severely wounded, having injuries on the battlefield was still quite frightening

Even so, Elder Universe, who was taking the lead, did not intend to stop to help his comrades. The elder’s eyes turned scarlet red, which was out of the ordinary.

The longsword in his hand transformed into a giant mincer as he eliminated the ferocious beasts in his path. He fixed his gaze on the three gigantic Earthly Dragon Beasts.

As if noticing the tiny humans, an Earthly Dragon Beast lifted its enormous foot, which was similar to a sky-propping pillar, to stomp on them.

The Earthly Dragon Beast was nearly 36 meters tall, hence the ground and the mountains shook when it stomped. When Elder Universe and the others looked up, they noticed that they were overcast by a shade. No matter how tough their bodies were or how sharp their magic tools were, they would only be crushed into meat paste. This was the outcome of a size disparity. While both parties were somewhat equal in terms of the biological level, in terms of their sizes alone, the Earthly Dragon Beast could easily squash the great ancestors.

Elder Universe flashed and dodged the huge foot, which hid the sky. A cold light was formed as he swung his longsword, and he streaked the side of the beast’s foot.

Given that the magic tool was formidable, the sword tip pierced the Earthly Dragon Beast’s body.

Nevertheless, Elder Universe’s face changed. The deeper his longsword was in the beast’s foot, the more he could sense the tremendous resistance from the creature’s body.

It was true that a magic tool’s Sharpness attribute was unmatched, but the Earthly Dragon Beast was truly too hefty.

Unquestionably, Elder Universe’s longsword was like a toothpick to the dragon beast. In that case, pricking one’s foot with a toothpick would not pose a fatal effect.

Therefore, a sword-light was seen as Elder Universe slashed the longsword across.

A rich unpleasant smell filled the air, but the Earthly Dragon Beast widened its mouth and devoured a ferocious beast’s carcass as if it did not feel anything. It later turned its head halfway to check its foot as though it was confused about feeling a sting.

The magic longsword, which was capable of stabbing humans or powerful great-ancestor-level half-spirit beasts, had only left a small trace of blood on the Earthly Dragon Beast.

A human could die from the injury, but it was only considered a trace of blood on an Earthly Dragon Beast’s body.

“Oh no! Quickly attack and stop them!” Elder Universe yelled at the top of his lungs. He had a horrific look on his face because he was too anxious.

Behind him, many Supreme Great Ancestors did their best. Given the circumstances, they were forced to fight without any reservations, thus they gave their all and released their powers to the maximum.

Despite having made an all-out effort, the difference was too big, and it would not change because of their attempts. The powers, which were unbearable for ordinary powerhouses and even Supreme Great Ancestors, were withstood by the three Earthly Dragon Beasts without any effort.

In actuality, apart from the three magic tools’ damages, which slightly caught their attention, the three beasts were simply uninterested in the other attacks. They did not spare a glance at the other powerhouses at all.

Far away, the little red bird in the Eight-armed Giant Beast’s head flapped its wings and looked utterly bored.

“Are these the humans that you—the Beastshave been trying to wipe out? Aren’t they too weak? They’re far from the humans there!”

The Eight-armed Giant Beast blinked its large eyes and forced a terrifying smile. “Sir, the humans here are inadequate, so they naturally can’t be compared with the powerhouses in that realm.”

“Oh, so you know they’re inadequate! Hmph, what have you been doing all these years? You even summoned upper realm creatures like Earthly Dragon Beasts, yet you still can’t eliminate them. Are you fools who have been eating dung?” The little red bird was scornful.

“T-this… Sir, the Beasts here are weaker!” The Eight-armed Giant Beasts stammered.

However, it thought, ‘The space was secured in the past, so it was good enough that we were able to send a lowest-ranked spirit beast here. Even if an Earthly Dragon Beast was occasionally sent here too, it was also of the lowest rank. Given the combat power, it’ll be reasonable if we were wiped out instead…’

The little red bird narrowed its eyes and questioned, “Are you refuting me?”

“Ah, this little devil is right on top of my head. If I don’t serve it well, a spit of fire from it can easily turn me into ashes.” The Eight-armed Dragon Beast was appalled, so it immediately responded, “Sir, you were right; the ones that came in the past were fools and idiots. I’m ashamed to be on their side!” Whether or not it was being sincere, the solemn look on its face was unsuspicious. The little birds squinted its eyes again and looked ahead with interest as though it was watching a show. It did not care if the Humans would be victorious or if the Beasts were raging

On the battlefield, Elder Universe roared, “You guys from the Ni family, there’s something wrong with these fellas; they’re much stronger than the ones in the past! Quickly bring out your real deal or we’ll be doomed today!”

The other powerhouses, who were fighting, were dumbfounded. ‘What’s going on? Does the Ni family have another trump card?’

Ni Jingshen smiled bitterly. “Senior, we’ve done our best. The Iron Blood Loyal Heart can’t be used here—it can’t be used even if the city’s destroyed and the people are killed!” “Thunderballs—where are the Thunderballs?” Elder Universe shouted fiercely, “How long are you going to hide it?”

Ni Jingshen finally understood what the elder meant. He gritted his teeth and explained while his beard and hair stood on the ends, “Senior, we lost our secret realm for decades, and we never received Thunderballs this time!”

“Ah

“

An agonizing shriek was heard as a Supreme Great Ancestor failed to dodge an Earthly Dragon Beast’s giant leg. The powerhouse flew away such that blood splattered from his body, which was evident that he could not survive. He was a great ancestor, but he died like a little soldier.

Elder Universe was struck dumb for a while before he began to feel despair. They could not hold on any longer though the spirit beast had not shown up. This time, the three Earthly Dragon Beasts were greater than the ones from past disasters, be it in terms of their size or power.

That said, in comparison, the Ni family suffered the pain of losing their secret realm decades ago. Although they recovered it recently, they lost too many things, causing a significant decline in the Humans’ overall strength.

Amidst the intense battle, Elder Universe turned around in mid-air to look at the prefecture.

The elder looked like he could not bear to part with the city. He was already over 100 years old and had experienced the previous catastrophe. Based on Elder Universe’s age, he had witnessed the ups and downs in the world and had seen through life and death, as well as success and failure.

Ever since he became a centenarian, he became unaffected by anything such that his mental state rarely changed regardless of what happened.

Having said that, countless thoughts crossed Elder Universe’s mind the moment he looked at the world with affection. On his aging face, it was clear that he was recalling fondly his life in this world.

The elder later sighed and looked fierce. Following that, a strange yet powerful aura was released from his body.

a

There was a huge impact and fluctuation in the space around him as soon as he released the aura.

Wind-it was the wind’s aura, which seemed insignificant but was brewing the energy to destroy everything!

The three Earthly Dragon Beasts stopped at once. They stared at Elder Universe in confusion because they could not figure out how a skinny body could release such threatening momentum.

Just as Elder Universe accumulated his momentum to an extreme, thunderous, vigorous voices were heard coming from a distance away. Over 20 figures braved the wind and rode the waves to charge into the battlefield in the most tyrannical ways.

Elder Universe was moved, and his momentum quickly reduced like a deflated balloon. The old man finally looked relieved.

Looking at the three baffled giant beasts above him, the elder laughed and remarked, “Hehe, I’m an unpopular old fart, but it’s still better to be alive!”
