Chapter 651 Ancient World (17)

Lin Fan wasn't certain what the thing was, but he still continued doing his missions as usual.

However, now that he had already reached the peak of the True Soul Realm, there weren't that many missions that could satisfy his cultivation needs.

After all, the highest grade beast that was available as a mission was in the Nascent Soul Realm, so it would take quite a few of those missions just for him to break through.

But missions that had True Soul Realm beasts as targets were very rare. After all, it wasn't easy for a beast to even reach the True Soul Realm in the first place, not to mention finding one.

This was a human dominated world and True Soul Realm beasts were all beasts with intelligence, they knew that to survive they would have to hide from the humans. It was very unlikely that they would ever reveal themselves to the humans of their own volition.

The few True Soul Realm beasts that were found were kept secret by the forces that were local to this planet. After all, True Soul Realm beast corpses were rare items that even these families didn't have that many of. There was a wide use for these corpses, so naturally they wouldn't want others to have them.

But without these corpses, Lin Fan didn't have a way of breaking through to the next realm quickly.

However, what happened next wasn't just a chance for Lin Fan, but also a disaster for everyone else.

The planet that Lin Fan was currently on was a trading planet, which meant that it was a planet that had many rare products gathered from many different worlds. Even if they would eventually go to different places after they were sold, before they were sold, they were being held on this planet.

The Beast Race had already had their eyes on this planet, but they never invaded because of the various forces that had invested in this planet.

As soon as they attacked, there would be forces that came from many other worlds to defend this planet. It would be equal to trying to take over several different worlds at once.

Instead of wasting forces on this, it was better for the Beast Race to focus their forces on taking out weaker planets.

But it was hard to understand what the Beast Race was thinking since they committed a full force to attack this planet. The force that they committed was already enough to conquer ten different planets of the same size.

The forces that had enough investment on this planet that they would want to defend it only added up to a total of five planets.

It was clear what would happen if they were to send their forces to defend this planet, so in the end, they didn't commit their forces. The losses that they would suffer from losing this planet was far less than their losses if they were to lose their forces, so they chose to give up on this planet in the end.

No one knew what was so important to the Beast Race that they would commit this kind of force to invading this planet, but they had done so in the end, so there was not much else to say.

Of course, for the people that were already on this planet, it wasn't as if they could leave as they wanted since they were already surrounded by the Beast Race forces.

For them, it had become a desperate struggle just to survive.

That was, everyone except for Lin Fan.

Seeing the hoards of beasts that came rushing at him, Lin Fan just revealed a smile.

This was exactly what he wanted to see.

Not only would it allow him to take revenge for what the Beast Race had done to him before, it would also provide what he needed to increase his cultivation. After all, he was about to go on a slaughter.

​ He released the different beasts that he had tamed and they charged the wave of beasts that came at them. However, the only difference was that Lin Fan's pets were much more coordinated than these beasts that only knew how to charge forward.

It was a one sided slaughter in the end as Lin Fan's pets completely out maneuvered the beast horde.

They clashed with the beast horde with their strongest attacks and then immediately drew back, provoking the beast horde to chase after them. However, as soon as the beast horde began chasing, they were immediately caught in the trap of Lin Fan's pets.

The pets with the strongest defenses were placed around the beast horde while the other pets rained their attacks down on the beasts.

The beasts tried to break through, but the defenses of Lin Fan's pets weren't anything to look down on. They weren't even able to make a single scratch on the hides of Lin Fan's pets, not to mention being able to find a way out.

There wasn't a single casualty on Lin Fan's side as they wiped out a beast horde with thousands of beasts in them.

However, the most shocking thing was that Lin Fan's pet horde didn't lose in terms of numbers to the beast horde. Even if they had clashed head on, Lin Fan's pet horde wouldn't have suffered that much.

Still, the fact that Lin Fan was able to tame thousands of pets showed just how terrifying he was.

In the end, the True Soul Realm leaders of the Beast Race forces were forced to make their move.

That didn't matter to Lin Fan since that was still what he wanted.

When they came onto the battlefield, he used the traps that he had laid down ahead of time to trap them and slowly weaken them.

But the difference between these True Soul Realm beasts and the other beasts was that Lin Fan didn't kill all of them.

He killed the ones that struggled the most and seemed the hardest to break, but the ones that had weaker wills, he showed mercy to them.

After weakening them enough, he forcefully used his cultivation technique to tame them.

Just like this, Lin Fan was able to add some True Soul Realm beasts with intelligence into his army. They easily fulfilled the role of being commanders for his forces, which increased the battle power of his army even more.

During this war, Lin Fan became the main reason why the human forces were able to hold out against the Beast Race forces for so long.

Moving across the battlefield, even when he lost pets to the fight, he would always be able to grow his army of pets as he defeated the Beast Race. The ones that were defeated were tamed by him and then used against the Beast Race forces.

It didn't take long before he was recognized as a threat by the Beast Race army.

Once he was recognized as a threat, there were higher level members of the Beast Race army that started attacking him.

There was even a trap that was set by twenty different True Soul Realm beasts to kill him, but they had made a miscalculation.

Lin Fan had already tamed around twenty different True Soul Realm beasts over the last year of fighting, so he wasn't afraid even when twenty True Soul Realm beasts surrounded him. He had more than enough pets to face all twenty of them and he was able to easily kill them with his own power since he had life energy and laws that far surpassed the normal True Soul Realm.

During his time on this planet, he had also learned a few of the human cultivation techniques. To be precise, he learned their body refinement techniques since his body was his one weakness.

The cultivation technique from the black ball of light didn't help him strengthen his physique. That meant that his body was much weaker compared to his cultivation.

If he were to use the combination of laws with this kind of body, it wouldn't be able to handle the backlash and he wouldn't be able to use it.

So he had built up his body as well during this time.

With his greater amount of life energy and combination of laws, it only took him a single hit to kill a True Soul Realm beast.

When the trap failed, the Beast Race army knew that Lin Fan wasn't someone that they could underestimate and they sent one of their three generals to attack Lin Fan.

These generals normally didn't make a move since they had cultivation above the Soul Realm and they thought that it was beneath them to make a move personally.

This just showed how much Lin Fan had pushed them into a corner.

It was just too bad that this general wasn't able to kill Lin Fan either.

When the general was facing Lin Fan, he was shocked to find that Lin Fan had already broken through the Soul Realm to reach the next realm.

With Lin Fan being in the same realm, it wasn't a problem at all for him to take care of this general.

Once he took care of this general, the Beast Race army really didn't know what to do anymore. After all, the generals were experts that were already above the Soul Realm, they were experts that no one in this world should have been able to face. However, Lin Fan had done the impossible and killed the general sent to kill him.

There were only three generals in this entire army and it was impossible for the other two to go all out to attack Lin Fan.

So they tried to avoid Lin Fan by attacking the cities that he wasn't in, but it was too bad that he chased down the Beast Race army.

It seemed like this invasion was doomed to fail.
