Chapter 1005 - Infinite Birth Chart Power
Chapter 1005: Infinite Birth Chart Power
In Lu Zhou’s opinion, with the Peak Trial Card, he should be able to deal with the beast king in this place within five minutes. Therefore, he decided to have a look at the beast tide in the southeast of the Southern Kingdom. Who knew he might even obtain a decent life heart.
Lu Zhou held onto Shi Youran and unleashed the grand technique as he flew forward, leaving a line of afterimages in his wake.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
At this moment, Shi Youran jolted awake due to the constant buzzing of the energy. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the ground flashing past him at great speed. Then, he let his head fall limply to the side as he closed his eyes again. Inwardly, he thought this was not right! Even Tower Master Xia of the Black Tower Council was not so domineering even though he had 12 Birth Charts as well. How was it that Lu Zhou was able to ruthlessly destroy his understanding of a 12 Chart expert every single time?
…
Meanwhile, in the Southern Mountain City, a city east of the Southern Kingdom.
Many red lotus cultivators stood on the city walls as they looked ahead as though they were facing a great enemy.
At this time, a cultivator flew in on a flying beast and hurriedly reported, “General, they’re two kilometers away!”
The general of the city ordered, “All cultivators above the Nascent Divinity Tribulation Realm prepare yourselves!”
Godly Archers and cultivators above the Nascent Divinity Tribulation Realm lined the city walls immediately.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of the beasts’ hooves thundering the ground rang from the southeastern direction.
All sorts of roars and cries rang in the air at the same time.
On the city walls, many city-guarding giant crossbows, divine archers, and essence soul cultivators were all prepared.
“The plaice beast, the flying fish, the black turtle, the flood dragon, the long shark, the manatee, the Red Moon Jellyfish… This is… This is insane!” A sharp-eyed cultivator who was somewhat knowledgeable about fierce beasts muttered anxiously.
“Don’t shake the army’s morale!” Someone shushed him.
“I’m not trying to shake the army’s morale. I only want them to know what they’re facing. Do you know the more types of fierce beasts there are in a beast tide, the greater the beast tide is. This has been the case for the beast tides in the past…”
Although it was not this person’s intention to shake the army’s morale, those who overheard his words instinctively took a step back as they shuddered. However, how could they leave the city at this time?
Soon enough, countless fierce beasts appeared on the horizon. There were land beasts and flying beasts.
The rumbling sounds grew louder and louder as the beast tide drew closer.
There were so many fierce beasts that they covered the sky at this moment.
“Get ready!” the city general’s voice spread in all directions at this moment. “Those who abandon their posts will be sentenced to death!”
No matter the period, there would be soldiers who charged out valiantly at the frontlines and there would be those who abandoned their posts.
“Kill!”
With this order, a giant crossbow on the city wall was fired and hit the weak beasts in the sky.
At the same time, the Godly Archers began to shoot their arrows in a frenzy as well.
Roar!
Alas, these attacks were ineffective against the fierce beasts with tough hide.
At this time, a few powerful fierce beasts had already arrived at the city gates and were ramming against the gates,
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Due to the gates that were 100 meters tall and the relative safety behind the walls, many tried to resist the fierce beasts from behind the gates. When there were flying beasts that flew up past the height of the gates, these people would withdraw and let the soldiers and experts deal with them.
It could be seen that it was relatively easier to deal with the land beasts. On the other hand, the flying beasts were a source of headaches.
Due to the sheer number of the fierce beasts, Nascent Divinity Tribulation Realm cultivators began to fall one after another.
Boom!
At this moment, a group of beasts flew high up the city gates and rushed over. Even a large plaice-like beast could be seen. They easily repelled the humans’ attacks. Some cultivators who could not react in time were devoured by the huge plaice-like beast.
Apart from that, there was also a flying shark that was the size of a ship. It bared its fangs and charged past the city wall, destroying two avatars in the process.
“Retreat!”
“Quickly retreat!”
The humans could hardly withstand a single attack from one fierce beast, let alone a beast tide. For a moment, fear and despair swept through everyone in the city.
Cultivators retreated quickly like their lives depended on it.
At the same time, the city wall finally crumbled.
Beasts of shapes and sizes swarmed into the city immediately.
It was a massacre; a one-sided battle. Humans died one after another.
A loud horn rang in the air; it was a signal to retreat.
Everyone ran north.
The fierce beasts rampaged in the city. The buildings seemed as though they were made from paper in front of the beasts, unable to withstand even one blow.
A formation barrier flashed for a moment before it was instantly destroyed by the stronger fierce beasts.
The stench of fear and blood permeated the entire city at this moment.
“It’s been 2,000 years… This is the biggest disaster to happen in 2,000 years. It’s over! It’s over!”
At the very least, 2,000 years ago there were Birth Chart experts to protect the red lotus domain. However, who could they count on to protect them at this moment? The black lotus cultivators?
Rumble!
At this time, the 100-meter-tall city gates finally fell.
More and more fierce beasts swarmed into the city. They killed humans who were in the midst of fleeing in just an instant.
At this moment, a beast hovered in the heart of the other fierce beasts. It constantly let out cries that sounded like that of a mandarin duck and a sheep as though it was giving commands to the other fierce beasts. Despite the strange combination of the cries, it sounded deadly and threatening to the human ears.
“Pu Yi! It’s Pu Yi! Run!”
Pu Yi had four legs and a pair of wings; its face was that of a human. Although it was not big, it was a beast king. If a beast king was not particularly big, it only meant one thing: the beast king was highly intelligent.
Pu Yi’s cries continued to sound in the air; it was as though it was urging the fierce beasts to eat all the delicious food in front of them.
Just like how humans felt no sympathy when eating chickens or ducks, the fierce beasts devoured humans without any remorse.
Suddenly, Pu Yi’s cries rose in pitch.
With this, the fierce beasts seemed to have gone mad. They leaped up at the Nascent Divinity Tribulation Realm cultivators in the air in a frenzy.
Blood fell from the sky like a torrential rain.
In just a short time, half of the Southern Mountain City was occupied by the fierce beasts. It was as though hell had descended on earth.
Many old, weak, and disabled people who were unable to escape sat on the ground limply in despair.
An old man hugged his little grandson and could not stop the tears streaming down his face.
“Grandpa! What’s that?”
“Don’t look, don’t look…” The old man covered his grandson’s eyes and pulled his grandson deeper into his embrace, waiting for death to claim them.
“Grandpa, look!” The child pried his grandfather’s hand away from his eyes and pointed at the sky.
When the old man looked up, he saw a meteor-like figure flashing in the sky. One second it was still on the distant horizon, and the next second, it had already arrived in the heart of Southern Mountain City. At the same time, an avatar towered between heaven and earth.
The 1,050-feet Thousand Realms Whirling avatar easily caught the attention of the cultivators and common folks in Southern Mountain City.
“A Thousand Realms Whirling expert!”
At this moment, the Thousand Realms Whirling expert held a person who looked like he was on the verge of death in his hand.
During the entire journey here, Shi Youran had feigned unconsciousness. At this moment, he finally opened his eyes and looked at the beast tide. He shook his head and said, “If only you didn’t destroy my Birth Charts, you would’ve been able to stop this beast tide…”
Lu Zhou slowly rose up until he drew level with the head of his Thousand Realms Whirling avatar. He looked down at the beast tide. Then, he said indifferently, “Is that so?”
“What do you plan to do?”
“You’re just a frog at the bottom of a well. Before you die, let me open your eyes…” Lu Zhou said before he extended his hand. The golden astrolabe at the back of his avatar flew to his hand immediately.
“Birth Chart Power?” Shi Youran wanted to laugh. Birth Chart Power had its limit after all; it would not be able to deal with a beast tide.
However, at this moment…
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The golden astrolabe began to spin as twelve distinct patterns on the astrolabe lit up in unison.
Infinite Birth Chart Power!
Countless pillars of light shot out and mercilessly pierced the fierce beasts in the sky. Weak beasts that were no different from ordinary goshawks were instantly reduced to ashes.
Upon seeing this, the cultivators’ morale was greatly boosted. They flew into the air and watched this scene, barely able to hold back their tears. They were saved!
Everyone looked at the mighty figure of the Thousand Realms Whirling expert reverently and gratefully.
Under Lu Zhou’s fierce attacks, the beasts fell one after another. In just an instant, hundreds of fierce beasts lost their lives. They were either reduced to ashes or pierced until they resembled a hornet’s nest.
The blood and severed limbs of the fierce beasts rained down from the sky. Their blood that was red like that of a human dyed the ground that they had trampled on earlier red.
The beasts on land were quickly pierced and dismembered by the pillars of light. They did not even have a chance to struggle before they fell to the ground lifelessly.
At this time, the despair and fear that overwhelmed the humans seemed to have been transferred to the fierce beasts. They trembled in fear as they struggled to escape.
