Chapter 1285: Returning to the Beast Flood Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Xia Fei first led the Skywing wolves to the Alpha Universe’s core region, where they picked up a shipment of goods from the headquarters of the Heavenly Treasure Trading Firm. They then immediately proceeded to the Red Pine Nebula.

Red Pine was where the beast flood had erupted. In the span of a few days, this massive region had been occupied by countless exotic beasts, and now, everyone was staying away from it. Xia Fei, on the other hand, had brought over the Skywings to this place. For what reason?

“Awoooo!”

From the distance, they could hear the howls of exotic beasts. Furball and Little Goldie jumped onto Xia Fei’s shoulders. Even these two Beast Kings felt ill at ease in this place. After all, the surrounding exotic beasts were not individually strong; there were simply too many of them!

“It’s very simple: We’ll start from the outer edge and use our speed to push through, killing all living creatures in our way!” Xia Fei looked at the dangerous nebula through the ship window and said this grimly.

“We need energy, lots and lots of it! This beast flood is the finest hunting ground! Kill the exotic beasts and take their energy! As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest! Those Dark Spiritualists won’t expect us, the Skywings, to have the guts to come back!”

Everyone nodded. The Skywings were experts in speed, and killing the exotic beasts was easy as long as the Dark Spiritualists were not threatening them. Returning to the beast flood was also doing the exact opposite of what was expected. While everyone was doing their best to avoid the beast flood, the Skywings had returned to the sight of its eruption to commence a massacre!

“Seizing the energy of the exotic beasts isn’t difficult, but how do we take it back?” Xia Gucheng wondered.

“It’s simple. We use Nirvana! The wolfpack formation will control the situation, while my fiend blade kills them all. It’ll automatically transfer some of the energy to me, and I’ll use that energy to make soul weapons,” Xia Fei replied.

“All into soul weapons! Can your body take it?” Xia Guanghai asked in shock.

Although he did not understand how Spiritualists worked, he knew that making a soul weapon could not be a simple process. The Skywings had always been fast, so once they started killing, it would go very quickly, and energy would surge into Xia Fei’s body. With all that energy flooding in, it was difficult to imagine how Xia Fei could turn it all into soul weapons.

Xia Fei smiled. “You don’t need to worry about that. I have a plan. All you need to worry about is killing; I’ll handle the making of soul weapons.”

Xia Gucheng frowned and roared, “Everyone heard Xia Fei’s orders, right? Let’s get started then! Let’s do the very best we can!”

Xia Fei turned to address Xia Guanghai. “You stay and watch the surroundings. You can leave the killing to the grand ancestor.”

“Xia Fei, you’re not going?”

“Will the energy be transferred to you?”

Everyone asked curiously.

They all knew that Xia Fei had a fiend blade that could devour energy, but they did not know the range of the fiend blade. Once the Skywing wolves started moving, they did so at the speed of light, so they might end up leaving the range of the fiend blade.

Xia Fei smiled. “Relax. Unless you cross over to another dimension, the fiend blade will always be under my control! I’ll stay at the edge of the beast flood and focus on making soul weapons!”

The control range was dependent on dimension! This meant that Xia Fei’s fiendish blade Nirvana could be on the other side of the universe and still be under his control! This distance was too heaven-defying!

The Skywing wolves were all shocked, but Xia Fei had always had a lot of weird things on him, so they were somewhat used to it.

The warship left Xia Fei and Xia Guanghai near the spatial gate and zoomed away with Xia Gucheng’s group, heading straight to the heart of the beast flood!

After sending them off, Xia Fei found a small planet not far from the spatial gate. The said planet had once been struck by comets and was now littered in craters, some as deep as one hundred thousand meters.

Xia Fei found a cave to sit down in and to prepare for receiving the energy that would be sent to him by Nirvana. Xia Guanghai, meanwhile, kept watch of the surroundings, as Furball and Little Goldie closely guarded Xia Fei, remaining at his side at all times.

…

Several hours later, the Skywing warship arrived at the edge of the beast flood. From a distance, it was possible to see a vast horde of howling exotic beasts circling various planets.

The ones at the very front were mostly agile exotic beasts, and as they were the fastest, they had created some distance from the rest.

“Hide the ship so that it doesn’t get destroyed. If it does get destroyed, we’ll be going back on a shuttle, which is sure to be very cramped.” Xia Gucheng gave this order.

Xia Fei had given his Skywing brothers spatial rings long ago, but they could not hold a lot, not even the smallest Corvette-class battleship. If the warship was destroyed, they would have to cram themselves into a small shuttle to go back, everyone pressed against one another, which was an unbearable thought.

*Whoosh!*

Once the warship had been hidden, the Skywings assembled into the wolfpack formation. Radix, meanwhile, controlled the fiendish blade Nirvana as he followed behind it.

In the distance, a large number of exotic beasts were destroying an inhabited planet. A civilian ship tried to escape, but the moment it reached space, it was torn apart by a large lightning rat.

The rat tore apart the small civilian ship with a shake of its head, not even leaving behind any corpses.

The pack of speed-type exotic beasts had finally taken notice of the Skywing wolves coming from quite a far distance, and they immediately began growling and screeching to summon their companions. To this, the Skywing warriors sneered. Murderous energy—fiendish energy—swiftly gathered!

“Awoooo!”

Several thousand exotic beasts surged toward them at a swift speed; at the same time, the Skywing wolves began their move!

*Whoosh!*

When it came to speed, the Skywings were a clan of speedsters! They blasted forward, as swift as light! The soul weapons in their hands swung toward the heads of the exotic beasts!

Just as Xia Fei ordered, the Skywing wolves left the exotic beasts on their dying breaths. In the span of a minute, several thousand speed-type exotic beasts had been done in!

They were splayed out across space, froths coming out of their mouths as they gasped for breath.

Under Radix’s control, Nirvana flew around! Wherever that six-bladed snowflake blade went, it left behind no remains! It turned all the exotic beasts, which terrorized this piece of universe, into dust!

Kill!

Kill!

Endless killing!

Radix killed so many that his eyes had turned bloodshot!

As for the energy absorbed, it overflowed!

…

“It’s here!”

Xia Fei, startled, hastily spread out his hands. The large grass blades of Peacock Blue formed a carpet-like structure, which wrapped around the soul weapon embryos on the ground.

This time, Xia Fei had emptied out the warehouse of the Heavenly Treasure Firm, taking away all the raw materials used for making soul weapon embryos. Sabers and swords—even teapots made with elemental materials, Xia Fei could keep count of everything he had taken.

At this moment, there were more than ten thousand soul weapon embryos laid out in front of him! The embryos were so densely laid out across the ground they made the eyes dizzy.

As the energy entered Xia Fei’s body, it was rapidly released. A hot spring seemed to flow from his body, arising from his seventh brain region and gushing out from his hands.

The icy-cold floor of the underground cave instantly became scorching hot as the excessive energy from the exotic beasts filled the space.

This naturally was not the pure spirit energy Xia Fei usually used, but he did not care. This time, he only cared about quantity, not quality!

Although he had the ability to refine this energy into spirit energy, Xia Fei refused to do so. This was because refining energy wasted time, and his body would be unable to take it, too. Mindlessly infusing the energy into the soul weapon embryos was already his limit. After all, these were ten thousand soul embyros!

Xia Fei quickly finished collecting the energy from this wave of exotic beasts. There was a trick to collecting different kinds of energy, which was to attach one’s spirit energy to it. When a small bit of spirit energy was applied to exotic beast energy, it became less volatile and was more easily infused.

Xia Fei still had 26,000 units of spirit energy, and at a ratio of 1:100, it was enough to gather 2.6 million units of other kinds of energy!

Xia Gucheng began searching for another pack of exotic beasts to slaughter. They were currently on the outer edge, where there were not that many exotic beasts, so Xia Fei was able to take a short break at every interval.

“So many?!” Xia Guanghai came inside the cave to look and was astounded. Ten thousand soul weapon embryos meant ten thousand soul weapons were about to be made! When did Xia Fei get this powerful?!

Xia Fei smiled. “What you’re looking at aren’t soul weapons but temporary energy storage devices, instead. I’ve got only one-one-hundredth of a unit of spirit energy to each of them, which can make them turn on. If they can be turned on and shut off, it will be a success.”

“Not soul weapons?” Xia Guanghai was surprised. “What’s the use in a simple energy storage device.”

“It’s very useful,” Xia Fei said confidently. “Whether we can succeed or not will depend entirely on this.”

…

Time went by very quickly, and before they knew it, an entire week had passed.

In these seven days, the grand ancestor had led the Skywings into a crazed killing spree of exotic beasts, while Xia Fei, who was even crazier, made temporary energy storage devices. Not even he could keep count of how many he had made so far.

“Radix, how far have you gotten?” Xia Fei mentally communed with the other.

“I don’t know. Xia Gucheng and the others have lost themselves in their bloodlust long ago! There are corpses wherever I look! The exotic beasts truly deserve death! We’ve had sightings of numerous destroyed planets and people who failed to escape being killed!

“These exotic beasts are truly very cruel. When they run into ordinary people who can’t run, they don’t eat them; instead, they gruesomely slice their stomachs open,” Radix said venomously.

As the Skywing wolves ventured deeper into the beast flood, they found many horrifying sights. For example, some exotic beasts would leave marks on the walls, proving that they had been there. Some would brutally kill humans, while others would even kill their own kind!

In short, the exotic beasts were very savage, somewhat different from the exotic beasts one would normally find in this piece of universe. Moreover, there were many highly intelligent beasts among them, and they were able to organize the beasts into formations to assail the Skywing wolfpack formation!

Fortunately, the Skywings were speedsters on top of being well-trained and ruthless, so they were able to push back the attacks from the beast flood each time!

“How many exotic beasts have you killed by now?” Xia Fei asked.

“I didn’t keep count, but it has to be in the tens of millions.” Radix gave an estimate.

This number matched with Xia Fei’s estimate, but gathering this much energy had left him so tired he was already gasping for breath. He could even foresee the bitter battle that lay ahead of him.

In these seven days, Xia Gucheng had led the Skywing wolves in killing tens of millions! The speed! The power! Truly bone-chilling!

“What’s the highest rank of beast you’ve encountered in the beast flood?” Xia Fei asked.

“No signs of any Beast Kings or Divine Beasts, let alone any Holy Beasts like Furball,” Radix replied honestly.

“Seven days but not a single high-ranked beast?” Xia Fei lit a cigarette and muttered in confusion. “The Skywings have been moving so quickly; they must’ve fought their way into the center of the beast flood after seven days. Where did all the high-ranking exotic beasts go?”
