Chapter 569: Chapter 564: Boundless Domination, Opportunity to Become a God

For a time, the battlefield was in utter chaos, a spectacle incredibly intense.

The lion-man roared, the tiger-man was wild, the elephant-man possessed immense strength, the werewolf was as sharp as the wind, the leopard-man was as swift as a shadow, the eagle-man clan experts extended their wings to fly, swooping through the air, hurling spears at the Evil Eye from afar. The catman assassins, with their petite frames, often managed to kill with a single blow while unsuspectingly springing upon their foes.

There were also the Minotaurs, wielding totem poles and sweeping them around fiercely, sending countless opponents flying with raw power. Likewise, the strong warriors of the Snake-Man Clan swayed their enchanting bodies, slicing their opponents into several pieces with every rotation.

While the Beastmen’s methods of cultivation might seem crude compared to the techniques of the Cultivation World, once their strength reached the Sword Saint level, they could all fly briefly. Should they progress further to the Super Demon Beast level, flying posed no difficulty for them.

Therefore, it was common to see these beings soaring and charging haphazardly, or leaping hundreds of feet into the air, almost touching the crust above, all to avoid the fearless Puppets in their path and directly attack the lurking Evil Eye behind.

Of course, the Beastmen’s performance was impressive, yet the Evil Eye were by no means easy opponents.

Their physical bodies were frail, and if struck, immense damage could easily be inflicted.

But these creatures, who fed on the brain matter of various life forms, could manipulate a significant number of Puppets.

If it were a solitary Evil Eye, one would simply have to gradually reduce its number of Puppets. However, being aware of their weaknesses, they preferred to live in groups, which resulted in a Puppet Army numbering in the millions.

Although most of these were ordinary life forms with varying strengths and abilities, even the weakest under the Evil Eye’s control would charge fearlessly forward. Even if they could only delay the Beastmen’s advance momentarily, it served their purpose.

And in the midst of the Puppet horde were many formidable beings. Setting aside level nine Demon Beasts and Sword Saint warriors, even those of the Super Demon Beast level were not uncommon.

Even more, by the Evil Eye Lord’s side were an enormous Earth Element Giant and a monster wrapped in flames.

Both these entities were experts of the Demigod Realm.

The spiritual power of the Evil Eye Lord, capable of controlling such powerful beings, was unimaginable.

Yet, most of these formidable beings did not originate from this realm, and even the experts from the Underground World were few and far between.

This was because, over the years, the experts of the Underground World came to know the might of the Evil Eye. Many would rather cross the wilderness amid hordes of Demon Beasts, facing numerous battles along the way, than deal with these Evil Eye. Otherwise, falling under their control and becoming a Puppet was too dreadful a fate!

As a result, the Evil Eye often expanded in groups to other territories to enslave more Puppets, taking control of those who were new to this world and did not understand the horror of the Evil Eye and thus did not flee immediately!

The powerful entities among the Puppets were numerous. Be it the tremendously sized Demon Beasts or the strong warriors of various strange races, all possessed extraordinary war power. When the Evil Eye controlled these strong beings to launch a siege, they immediately thwarted the Beastmen’s aggressive attack.

Although these beings were controlled by the Evil Eye and used as Puppets, their inherent strength was formidable. Furthermore, with the Evil Eye’s sufficiently strong spiritual power, they could manipulate these Puppets to use various abilities precisely. However, as the Evil Eye were not adept in close combat, they lacked knowledge of optimal actions in critical moments. This made the Puppets they controlled appear slightly sluggish.

But this sluggishness was soon negligible, offset by their sheer numbers.

When all ordinary Puppets rushed forwards heedlessly, desperately entangling the Beastmen, those powerful beings at the back unleashed various spells and Martial Skills. One after another, their powerful attacks indeed held back the Beastmen’s advance, to the point where they even seemed to be encircling them.

If caught in a siege, these Beastman Experts would indeed suffer significant casualties.

The key was that powerful Evil Eyes had already come close by to unleash Spiritual Shocks, attempting to scatter the spirits of these Beastman Experts, forcibly taking control of their bodies. Not only would this provide additional powerful fighters, but it would also deter the rest of the Beastmen.

However, before entering the Underground World, Luo Zhancheng had already considered this situation.

Thus, while ostensibly seeking several powerful High Priests, Mages, and Alchemists to craft magical equipment that could keep one alert, he actually used Cultivation World techniques to create treasures with even better mental defense effects.

These treasures worn by the Beastman Experts could not be said to completely defend against the powerful Evil Eyes’ Spiritual Shocks, but ordinary Evil Eyes of the same level, or even one level higher, would truly have difficulty breaking through the Beastmen’s spirit in a short time.

Thus, the Evil Eyes quickly realized their Spiritual Shocks were ineffective against these Beastmen, which left them astonished and then somewhat alarmed.

The Evil Eyes only specialized in such methods; besides Spiritual Shocks and Spiritual Control, they could evolve various Illusion Techniques by using spiritual power and cast different kinds of Spiritual Magic, but beyond that, they had no close combat abilities.

Meanwhile, the Beastman Experts, upon discovering that the equipment they wore could indeed resist the Evil Eyes’ Spiritual Shocks, were excited like madmen, howling and charging at those Evil Eyes, and actually managed to slay over a dozen Great Evil Eyes who couldn’t dodge in time.

On another front, Qin Feng had a very noticeable Spiritual Imprint on his head, dodging left and right, avoiding the Puppet Experts, using his Thousand-Mile House Divine Power to its fullest, often taking steps that spanned hundreds of feet. In his hands, the Ruyi Golden Light shifted like a needle, like the curve of a hook sword, like a War Sword Long Spear–ever-changing, thrusting out from all angles at the Evil Eyes he targeted.

Although the Evil Eyes had strong defenses, and their spiritual power pervaded the area, revealing him as soon as he appeared, his speed was simply too fast. Sometimes he would use Space Jumps to appear directly above an Evil Eye’s head for a sure kill, then turning to flee, leaving the nearby Evil Eyes no time to react.

Even though Qin Feng’s rampant killings had attracted the attention of many Evil Eyes, which joined forces to unleash Spiritual Shocks at him,

How could Qin Feng not have his own treasures that defended against Spiritual Shocks?

In fact, he had many of high quality. Just a single Karma Fire Red Lotus was enough to block the Spiritual Shocks the Evil Eyes launched, not to mention needing any other treasures.

If he activated all the treasures that defended against Spiritual Control, even ordinary Immortals and Divines casting Spiritual Shocks would not likely be able to suppress his spirit, let alone control his body–so there was no need to mention Evil Eyes whose strength was possibly not much stronger than his.

Some of the treasures Qin Feng carried were obtained through his own fortune, while others were bestowed by the high-ranking members of the Beast Taming Sect.

The Gui Ling Ancestor and others certainly did not wish to see such a disciple with immense potential to have any shortcomings in this area; they would spare no effort to craft several treasures for him to protect himself.

Because the most potent means of attack by the Evil Eyes were ineffective against him, Qin Feng was very active on the battlefield, drawing the attention of many powerful Evil Eyes to himself, intent on completely destroying this individual who, despite being marked by the Evil Eye Lord, was still able to appear and vanish unpredictably.

Otherwise, if this continued, the Evil Eye Clan would sustain severe damage to their Primordial Qi, and who knows how long it would take for the clan to recover to its original state.

Therefore, it didn’t take long for Qin Feng to not only have seven or eight experts skilled in speed following him, but also several Flying Magical Beasts as swift as the wind and lightning above his head. From all directions, two to three dozen powerful Demon Beasts ran wildly on the battlefield, attempting to encircle and block Qin Feng, forcing him into a desperate situation with no escape.

Another person who caused such a large-scale disturbance was Li Miaozhen.

Her will was as firm as iron, unafraid of the Evil Eyes’ Spiritual Shocks, and even the Evil Eyes that could control Super Demon Beasts were helpless against her.

This was the performance without activating the treasures she possessed.

Li Miaozhen had not been neglected when the Gui Ling Ancestor had items crafted; aside from treasures such as the Karma Fire Red Lotus that Qin Feng had obtained through personal chance, she had everything that he had.

At this moment, Li Miaozhen delved deep into the heart of the Puppet Army, heading straight for the Evil Eye lurking at the back.

From the start of the battle, her performance had been spectacular, her figure sweeping across the battlefield, invincible in every confrontation.

Not only was her speed astonishing, but she would occasionally use the Geng Metal Escape Technique, transforming into a streak of golden light and, in the blink of an eye, appearing right before an Evil Eye.

Even though the Evil Eye controlled numerous powerful puppets to besiege her, ordinary experts couldn’t keep up with her speed. As for the large Demon Beasts, she couldn’t be bothered to cut them down anymore and simply stepped on their bodies to leap behind and slash at the Evil Eye.

The other Beast Taming Sect experts disguised as Beastmen were more than happy to let the two of them stand out, so several Dharma Image Realm and Primordial Spirit Realm experts didn’t show much of their true power.

But even so, the Evil Eye Lord in the rear was growing increasingly irritated.

The number of Evil Eyes slain by these two was simply too high. If they were allowed to continue, the Evil Eye Clan would inevitably fall into a decline that might take hundreds to thousands of years to recover from and breed such numbers again.

Annoyed, the Evil Eye Lord roared, sending forth its personally controlled powerful puppets to pursue the pair, even dispatching the Flame Demon Beast wreathed in flames, which had been by its side, towards Li Miaozhen.

They simply couldn’t be allowed to continue this slaughter.

With the Demigod Realm strength of this Flame Demon Beast, controlled by it, it should be able to quickly eradicate these two pesky intruders.

In fact, if it wasn’t for the timing, it would have preferred to take these two under control. After all, even though their strength was not considered very powerful, the Evil Eye Lord found them extremely bizarre. Not only could they become invisible, but they also had various unique and sharp techniques that specifically targeted the Evil Eye, and they had immense killing power against other life forms as well.

However, it was a rational creature. There was a powerful Beastman King on the opposing side, and for all it knew, the Great Prophet of the Beastman Clan could be hiding somewhere, ready to ambush it. Therefore, it didn’t send out both Demigod Realm puppets. It always kept an Earth Element Giant by its side at the Demigod Realm.

It believed that with this creature’s strength and defensive techniques, it could ensure its safety.

On the other hand, Luo Zhancheng, who had been biding his time, suddenly narrowed his eyes. Taking a long stride forward, he seemed to smash through space itself, moving from the edge to the center of the battlefield in an instant.

To dare command its puppets against him while facing him–this Evil Eye Lord was truly courting death!

Moreover, what it sent its subordinates to deal with were his disciples, making their offense even more unforgivable. Luo Zhancheng immediately abandoned any search for other strategic opportunities and launched a direct assault!

As he drew his sword, all creatures on the battlefield felt a flash before their eyes, a swath of white light that seemed to illuminate the entire Underground World.

This was the sharp edge of his White Tiger Saber slashing forth.

With a whoosh, his White Tiger Saber, carrying along a few hundred meters of razor-sharp Sword Energy, cleaved through the void, slashing towards the Evil Eye Lord.

“Squeak…”

In terror, the Evil Eye Lord couldn’t help but let out a high-pitched shriek, hastily commanding the Earth Element Giant to mount a defense and block the attack.

But what it hadn’t expected was for Luo Zhancheng to be so incredibly fast or for his Sword Light to be so piercingly sharp.

The Evil Eye Lord had only ever faced the Underground World’s powerhouses–how could it know of the Cultivation World’s capabilities?

So even before the Earth Element Giant’s defenses were fully up, Luo Zhancheng’s Sword Energy had already arrived close by.

Bang…

With a soft sound, the thick earthy yellow light was cleanly split in two by the sharp Sword Energy, and the Earth Element Giant in the back was also cut by the Sword Energy; the Evil Eye was enveloped by it as well.

However, by then the Sword Energy had run out of strength, so it was blocked by the Spiritual Barrier.

But this still gave it quite the scare, now understanding that the strength of this Beastman King before it was far beyond imagination.

It quickly called back its puppets, especially the Flame Demon Beast, to return posthaste. It intended to gather its two Demigod Realm puppets and launch a combined assault on Luo Zhancheng, and with its own interference from the sidelines, perhaps three Demigods should be sufficient to take down this Beastman King?

The Evil Eye Lord plotted various thoughts in its mind.

If it could control the Beastman King, it could make the rest of the Beastmen hesitate out of fear and deter them from further slaughtering its subordinates.

Perhaps it could even leave the Underground World, ascend to the surface continent, where the Evil Eye Clan would find endless food and could control numerous Beastmen to make conquests, attempting to attack all of the continent’s races.

Should it be able to dominate the entire world, it too could aspire to ascend to divinity like the Spider Evil God had once done.

The Spider Evil God was only at the Demigod Realm back then and managed to ascend to divinity just with the support of this half-plane underworld. The surface continent was much larger than the Underground World, so it should be no issue.

If that vile spider had done it, why couldn’t it?

The Evil Eye Lord grew more and more excited, thinking that the path to godhood seemed to lay right before it, just waiting for it to embark upon it.

But at this moment, a chilling sensation suddenly overcame it.

Looking up, it saw Luo Zhancheng had somehow gotten past the Earth Element Giant and was now close at hand, raising his saber to strike down.
