Chapter 427: Chapter 425 Giant Ferocious Beast

“`

These figures, from the attire they were wearing and the long knives they carried on their backs, were unmistakably members of the One Slash Palace!

In front of the numerous disciples of the One Slash Palace stood a multitude of demon beasts!

The number of these demon beasts was overwhelming, covering the sky and the earth; at a glance, it was impossible to count them all, with at least close to a hundred thousand, outnumbering the disciples of the One Slash Palace by several times.

Especially in the middle of the many demon beasts, there were three colossal creatures, each hundreds of meters tall, looking like giants. They had human-like bodies but extremely ferocious beastly heads, and they exuded an extremely strong oppressive aura. This aura, upon even slight perception, clearly indicated that they were peak fifth-order demon beasts.

Moreover, even among the peak fifth order, they definitely belonged to the topmost echelon.

Su Han had encountered several peak fifth-order demon beasts on his journey, but none were as formidable as these three.

Around these three giant beasts were nine giant pythons, each over three hundred meters long. They were arranged in a ring formation, with every three forming a circle around one of the giant demon beasts, seemingly guarding it.

They flicked their tongues, dripping with thick saliva, which, while being gross to look at, also sent shivers down one’s spine.

“As expected, these three demon beasts should be the Giant Ferocious Beasts recorded in the ancient texts of the Dragon Martial Continent,” Su Han looked at the three giant-like demon beasts.

According to the ancient texts, Giant Ferocious Beasts were ten meters tall at birth, and could grow to several hundred meters as adults. As their cultivation base increased, so would their size.

It was said that the Giant Spirit Body of the Giants Island was a cultivation technique developed by a super stronger of the Giants Island, who had based it on the bloodline of the Giant Ferocious Beast.

This super stronger of the Giants Island was among the pinnacle of the Dragon Martial Continent, but the Giant Ferocious Beast he caught was merely an adult with around a fifth-order cultivation base.

Using this beast, the stronger researched and created the Giant Spirit Body, establishing the now earth-shakingly powerful Super Sect, Giants Island, which was nearly invincible among its peers.

This showed that realm and cultivation base did not have much to do with each other. If one had to say there was a connection, then it was that as the cultivation base improved, so would the realm, and as the realm improved, so would the cultivation base. Both complemented each other.

But to say that the cultivation base could disrupt the realm was absolutely impossible.

“Those nine giant pythons must be the Immortal Demon Pythons, the accompanying beasts of the Giant Ferocious Beasts,” Su Han’s eyes flickered as he looked at the nine giant pythons.

The birth of a Giant Ferocious Beast would be accompanied by such beasts, the Immortal Demon Pythons.

The stronger the talent of the Giant Ferocious Beast at birth, the more accompanying beasts would appear because these were their second lives!

If the Giant Ferocious Beast died, it would immediately be reborn in an accompanying beast, and with each rebirth, its cultivation base would increase slightly.

With three Immortal Demon Pythons guarding each of these three Giant Ferocious Beasts, it meant that, including their original form, each had a total of four chances at life!

Moreover, with each rebirth, the Giant Ferocious Beast’s cultivation base would grow stronger!

“The disciples of the One Slash Palace are in trouble,” Su Han surmised.

He added, “The cultivation base of these three Giant Ferocious Beasts, each one is between the peak of the Dragon God Realm and the Pseudo-Emperor Realm. If their original forms were to die and be reborn three times, they would likely reach the level of the Pseudo-Emperor Realm, and even within the Pseudo-Emperor Realm, they would be among the most outstanding.”

And indeed, this was the case.

“`

Su Han thought of this, and so did the disciples of One Slash Palace.

Before coming here, a powerful individual from One Slash Palace had instructed that within Mountain of the Divine Medicine, there existed Giant Ferocious Beasts. If one encountered such Demon Beasts with an inadequate cultivation base, they might fight; if the beast was too strong, one should immediately disperse.

The disciples of One Slash Palace, each with a somber expression, felt as though a heavy stone weighed on their hearts.

“The Sun God once said that Giant Ferocious Beasts live in solitude, fancy the nectar of thunder, are naturally lazy, conceal a berserk state within, if they do appear, it would be at least deep within Mountain of the Divine Medicine, in a place past forty million kilometers.”

In front of the One Slash Palace disciples stood a woman in white, with flowing long hair, her features as if carved deliberately by heaven and earth without a single flaw.

The woman didn’t wear any makeup, and her demeanour was fresh and natural. Her long hair was a deep blue, which under the sunshine, added an extremely striking and captivating allure.

On her back, she likewise carried a long knife, about two meters in length, longer than the woman’s body, which seemed very incongruous, creating a sense of conflict.

At this moment, her face was strained, and her starry eyes revealed anxiety.

“Here, we are not even thirty million kilometers into the depths of Mountain of the Divine Medicine, and yet we’ve encountered a Giant Ferocious Beast!”

The woman spoke in a deep voice, lightly biting her silver teeth, “Moreover, these three Giant Ferocious Beasts clearly possess strong innate talent, otherwise, ordinary Giant Ferocious Beasts would only have one companion beast, but each of them has three!”

“Young Palace, the Sun God said that if we meet a Giant Ferocious Beast with low cultivation base we may fight, with high cultivation base… we must flee!” someone spoke from behind.

The woman’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as she looked at the man who spoke: “I’ve said before, don’t call me Young Palace, I’m just an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple of One Slash Palace. Once you join One Slash Palace, there are no titles, only the seniority within the palace.”

The man who spoke was taken aback for a moment, then promptly said, “Yes, Junior Sister.”

“Regardless of the matter of seniority, the appearance of this Giant Ferocious Beast must be due to the forthcoming beast tide. The tide will certainly be massive; otherwise, such formidable Giant Ferocious Beasts wouldn’t appear, and to have three show up at once.”

A handsome young man with a slender figure, his hair tied up in a hair bun, emanating a composed aura, spoke, “Junior Sister, we must retreat at this moment, otherwise, the casualties will be severe.”

Upon hearing this, the woman slightly bowed with folded hands: “Senior Brother is a Pinnacle Disciple, Yu’er’s status is too low, and her cultivation base insufficient, naturally, we should follow Senior Brother Zhou’s direction.”

“Mhm.”

Senior Brother Zhou nodded, then raised his hand and pressed down, whispering, “Everyone, don’t use your cultivation, don’t emit any aura, withdraw gradually. In case of danger, escape immediately at the fastest speed, disregard the others, flee in all directions!”

“Yes.”

The One Slash Palace disciples all nodded in agreement.

The people of One Slash Palace were indeed united, but unity has its limits. Not to mention the myriad of Demon Beasts like a tidal wave but merely the three Giant Ferocious Beasts could sweep them away.

At this moment, there were only two paths to choose from: one was to run, and the other was to leave.

Even if others were killed, one must absolutely not save them because everyone knew it was impossible to save them.

Moreover, once one turned back to save another, the chance to escape would be lost, not only failing to save the other person but also likely not surviving oneself.
