Chapter 287: Yao Mun's Playground - 287
As Guang Fu continuously cultivated, 5 years passed. Yuo had just come and left when Guang Fu sensed something.
He opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the teleportation array that he had never used.
Not long after, a figure appeared in it. A giant bearded dragon, 10 feet big and 50 feet long. Guang Fu's face turned solemn in an instant. He got up and ran to the battle zone in order to defend.
As he ran, he analyzed his opponent.
'A bearded dragon. Not quite a dragon, but a relative of the species. Any bearded dragon is powerful, but for the beast world to send this one, he must be above and beyond normal bearded dragons.' Guang Fu thought.
Dragons were considered the number 1 supreme beasts. This was not only in the heaven world and the beast world, but also the Zhou Galaxy.
Bearded dragons were one of the beast species closest related to the dragon, along with earth dragons and flood dragons.
Earth dragons, flood dragons, and bearded dragons were one step away from being supreme beasts.
Supreme beasts were usually much more talented than beasts. Therefore, the bearded dragons, earth dragons, and flood dragons were the most noble beasts in both worlds.
While the numbers of the beasts made up for the talent gap between them and supreme beasts, the three sub-dragon races were still considered very important.
Guang Fu's opponent, a bearded dragon at the 6th level of the nascent soul realm, was as worrying to him as a fully healthy beast at the 9th level of the nascent soul realm.
He had trouble with the crane due to the trap it had set. In Guang Fu's mind, there was a high chance of victory against the bearded dragon even without the emblem.
With the emblem, victory could be considered guaranteed.
Guang Fu had only worried instinctually. By the time he arrived at the combat zone, he was confident as could be.
—-----------------------------
At the same time that Guang Fu was sizing up the bearded dragon, Yao Mun was taking care of a fortress deep in a mountain range.
In a small hallway made completely of stone blocks, he ran forward unhindered by the hundreds of men in front of him.
His black hair had grown long and spiked down to his waist. Due to the hallway's size, two men at most could come at once.
Yao Mun ran down the hallway, cutting everybody in his path down. Blood covered his armored body, his face, and his hair.
He ran on the ground, the walls, and the ceiling, instilling terror into the once courageous men in front of him.
The blood covering face and his demonic eye helped in that aspect. After cutting around 40 men down, the first one finally cracked.
He turned around and scrambled away while shouting. "Somebody stop this demon! He'll kill us all!"
After scrambling past ten men, the retreating warrior's face was grabbed by a large hand.
In an instant, the hand squeezed and his face turned into mush.
"Any cowards who retreat will be killed on the spot." A man said, his voice resounding through the hallway.
His words gave the men courage as they rushed forward.
Yao Mun looked at the man who had spoken.
'One of the three leaders of this fort. The second strongest of them, reaching the 2nd level of the soul formation realm.' Yao Mun thought.
In theory, the man had the right to maintain a courageous look in front of the 4th level nascent soul realm Yao Mun.
Unfortunately, reality was not always the same as theorized.
As Yao Mun cut down 20 more men, he was met face to face with the courageous leader.
Without sparing a second glance, Yao Mun's left arm disappeared and his sword flickered.
In the next second, the courageous leader was cut in half and an explosion destroyed the stone hallway's wall.
The remaining men, seeing one of their three leaders cut down in a single slash, lost their courage immediately and ran.
Yao Mun did not stop his actions, catching up to them and killing ten more before the stone hallway ended.
Outside of the hallways exit was a large grassland. Yao Mun had just left one of the exits of the fortress.
Waiting on the grassland was a gigantic army 10,000 people large. Floating above the standing army were the remaining two leaders of the fortress.
They had set an ambush to put an end to Yao Mun. Yao Mun finally stopped moving as he looked over the army.
Over the past few years, Yao Mun had finally shown signs of maturation. He was no less insane or crazy, but he was temporarily able to stop and assess a situation before charging in.
After a moment, he made a decision.
'I can take them. It will take a while to recover in the worst case, but there is no chance of failure.' He thought to himself.
"Demon. Surrender now and —-" Before he was able to finish, Yao Mun took a deep breath in and exhaled a sea of flames.
It was based off of the dragon's breath, but was far less powerful. In addition to the technique, Yao Mun used his lesser increase ability to make it stronger by a single level.
It was now cooling down, but he didn't plan on using it for the rest of the battle.
Yao Mun launched forward as the flames engulfed a large portion of the battlefield. He ran through the flames, stepping on heads and bodies before coming out of the flames and being greeted by the remaining 5,000 soldiers.
They came forward like a tidal wave, but Yao Mun needed to only wave his sword a single time to kill ten, and use a single darkness technique to blind a hundred.
He ran through the army unchecked and unstoppable. As the army was reduced by another 500, the two flying above finally realized that nobody but them would be able to do a single thing.
As Yao Mun sent out a ring of flames and turned the soldiers near him to ash, both of the remaining leaders fell to the ground, causing the ground to shake.
Chapter 288: Join? - 288
Yao Mun was able to sense the two leaders' cultivations in an instant.
'One at the 1st level of the soul formation realm, and another at the 4th.' He thought to himself.
Without hesitation, his left leg disappeared and his sword flickered, severing the head of the 1st level soul formation cultivator before he could react.
The last remaining leader saw this and jumped backwards, attempting to get out of Yao Mun's attacking range.
Yao Mun flipped his sword and held it like a throwing spear, before his right leg disappeared and the sword was launched at the remaining leader.
The leader, who was the strongest of the three, saw a shadow and hurriedly moved to the right. Unfortunately, he was too slow.
The sword managed to hit his shoulder and completely cut off his arm.
The remaining leader almost fell to the ground from the pain, but managed to stand strong and retreat.
"Hmph." Yao Mun snorted.
He reached out his hand and his sword came flying back to him. He floated as a body with only his right arm, instilling terror into every soldier on the battlefield.
His incredible display of power, along with his horrifying appearance, managed to scare away the soldiers.
They ran away from him in random directions, fleeing like flies.
Yao Mun did not bother with them and looked towards the fleeing leader. He grabbed his sword in a throwing position once again as his left arm suddenly regrew, completely normal. At the same time, Yao Mun's Qi was fully depleted. In the next instant, Yao Mun's left arm turned limp.
Yao Mun gritted his teeth with a pain filled face, and managed to aim on to the fleeing leader again.
He then launched the sword with a power and speed incomparable to before. It was similar to the attack of a 6th level soul formation cultivator.
Without being able to dodge, the fleeing leader was pierced in the back as half of his body crumbled.
By the time he fell to the ground, he was dead.
Seeing his target fall, Yao Mun too fell to the ground. He sat down and observed his left arm. His arm was purple and unmoving no matter how he tried.
In order to launch the final attack, Yao Mun had sacrificed the left arm of his soul. As the arm became useless, it wouldn't have hurt to also sacrifice the arm, but Yao Mun kept it in order to study the effects of a soul sacrifice.
He also wanted to get used to the pain. If he had sacrificed the arm, he would have felt a dispersed pain throughout his body.
Since he kept the arm, the pain was condensed and was mostly felt in that arm. If he kept doing that, he would gain even more resistance to pain.
After a while, Yao Mun stopped gritting his teeth and only closed his eyes as he tried to tolerate the pain. The pain was like no other. Even being skinned alive over a hot fire was not comparable.
Nowadays, the most famous torturers were those who knew soul damaging techniques since there was no better form of torture.
After a bit longer, Yao Mun decided to stop his pain resistance training and heal his soul's left arm.
Since he had recovered his Qi, he used the technique that Zhou Fan had given him as a reward from the youth galactic assembly.
After using up all of his Qi, the soul's left arm was 2% healed. The healing of the soul was a very tedious and time consuming process.
Yao Mun spent a few hours recovering his Qi before repeating the process. After a few days, the soul's left arm was halfway healed.
The pain was also much more manageable. Only now did Yao Mun get up. For safety reasons, he decided to relocate underground until he was healed and could display his strength again.
He had long healed the rest of his body. Although others would struggle to regrow a limb, Yao Mun had spent a lot of time taking down fortresses, castles, and base's in order to find healing techniques.
The one he had used to regrow his left arm was a technique made from the combination of hundreds of quick healing techniques.
Using many other combined healing techniques, he was able to regrow his two legs without suffering the side effects of instantly regrowing a limb.
The side effects weren't noticeable on his left arm since his left arm's soul had disappeared causing many side effects that coincidentally coincided with the side effects of the instant healing technique.
Yao Mun's intention for attacking the current fortress, besides the fact that he enjoyed it, was because it was rumored to have the healing technique that Yao Mun was missing.
He would pillage the fortress after he was fully healed due to the likelihood of there being powerful traps.
As Yao Mun stood up, a presence appeared above him. He instantly retrieved his sword and looked up.
Above him was a masked man wearing white robes.
"Do no fear, Yao Mun. I have come with an offer." The masked man said. Only two purple eyes were visible behind the white mask.
"I'm not interested." Yao Mun stated.
"Even if I am offering you one of the three supreme healing techniques of the beast world, as well as a chance to deal a huge blow to the Heavenborns, and as a result, Heaven itself?" The masked man asked.
Yao Mun paid more attention as his interest was grabbed.
"Speak." Yao Mun said.
"You must have heard of the war. In simple terms, I am asking you to join the beast world's side." The masked man spoke.
Yao Mun lowered his head in thought for a moment.
After thinking, he agreed.
"Deal." Yao Mun said.
"Good. Consider this a beginning reward." The masked man said as he threw a book at Yao Mun.
"You came to this fortress for this technique, but it was in a different location. I retrieved it for you. If you truly want to cooperate, I expect to see you at the beast world camp sometime in the next ten years." The masked man spoke as he slowly vanished.
Yao Mun was left in the bloody field as he looked at the book.
