Arc 13: Wild Beast Plains | Chapter 238: Wrapping Up

Translator: Lynn

These three princes are accompanied by several Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Under their command, they assert their dominance on the battlefield, beating back the opposition.

Notably, the most outstanding among them is Xuan Yuan, the thirty-first prince, currently in the late stage of the Golden Core stage cultivation. With his formidable martial arts and potent energy, he engages in a life-and-death struggle with a five-horned beast. This daring leap in combat is unmatched in bravery, showcasing a majestic posture and a domineering presence that captivates countless onlookers.

As Xuan Ze took part in the battle, Xu Ziqing and Yun Lie, accompanied by Xi Lin and other Golden Core stage cultivators, ascended the city wall to observe the ongoing conflict. Yin Chenghao, a counselor under Xuan Ze’s command, operated a “telescopic mirror” to provide a distant view of the battle.

Amidst the tumult of wild beasts and soldiers, a few towering figures stood in the air, exuding a majestic and imposing aura. They were the Nascent Soul cultivators, suppressing all directions with an invincible presence.

Observing the power of these Nascent Soul cultivators, Xu Ziqing couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. The true might of these Nascent Soul cultivators was something he hadn’t fully appreciated from a distance; the battlefield revealed a stark contrast.

His attention shifted to a nine-foot-tall youth, clad in silver, positioned half a step behind the Nascent Soul Patriarchs. Recognizing him as Xuan Ze and the one on the right as Xuan Yuan, Xu Ziqing immediately identified the nine-foot-long young man as Xuan Yuan, the Overlord.

Recalling the moment when Yun Lie ascended to the Tianlong list, Xu Ziqing remembered the four formidable individuals ranking above him. Among them, the one standing first left a lasting impression.

Seeing Xuan Yuan in person now, Xu Ziqing understood the aptness of his title, the “Overlord.” Possessing the royal bloodline and the dragon spirit within, Xuan Yuan exuded overwhelming power and formidable combat prowess. Xu Ziqing witnessed him single-handedly restraining a five-horned beast comparable to a Nascent Soul, delivering powerful punches that prevented the release of blood poison, leaving onlookers stunned.

In a sudden turn of events, the five-horned beasts, cornered and desperate, roared passionately and rushed to a specific location, their backs pressed against each other.

Wide-eyed, Xu Ziqing exclaimed, “What is this?”

Yun Lie, too, observed the scene and remarked, “Things have changed.”

Speculation arose among the observers that the situation had taken an unexpected turn.

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the city.

The man’s voice thundered like spring, vehemently exclaiming, “How dare you, vile beast!”

Instantly, a golden light surged forth, transforming into a golden river that reached the monster in a blink.

Perplexed, Xu Ziqing asked, “Who is this person?”

Yun Lie’s gaze remained razor-sharp as he replied, “The General of Zhenguo.”

In astonishment, Xu Ziqing exclaimed, “Mahayana stage cultivator!”

True to expectation, the newcomer streaked across the sky like a shooting star, swiftly reaching the battlefield. The force of his momentum shattered the telescope, rendering it incapable of capturing the ensuing battle.

This Mahayana cultivator, experienced on the frontier, demonstrated unparalleled strength among his peers. Although Xu Ziqing had encountered Mahayana cultivators before, their battles remained obscured, as watching could lead to dire consequences. Now, the cultivator, having been immersed in the general’s mansion, unleashed his full power in response to the crisis.

Regrettably, the telescope lay in ruins, and the battle between General Zhen Guo and the monster unfolded beyond visual reach. Eventually, the old monster, Nascent Soul cultivator, and the three princes returned. Xuan Yuan, displaying his independent spirit, departed with only a few followers. Others left without uttering a word, while Xuan Ze, though slightly pale, approached calmly.

The conclusion unfolded with General Zhen Guo successfully defeating the combined beasts. After a thorough investigation, the army discovered that the beast tide had been anticipated, thanks to the combined supernatural power of the five-horned beast.

While the number of Nascent Soul cultivators among humans surpassed that of the five-horned wild beasts, the damage incurred in the battle was substantial for both sides. Following the conflict, Xu Ziqing and the others refrained from overseeing the inventory of the battle situation and funeral affairs.

After a brief respite, Xuan Ze prepared to return to the Dayan Empire. Given Xu Ziqing and Yun Lie’s agreement to the deal, it was only natural for them to accompany him on the journey.
