NOVEL NEXT Chapter 77: A Pleasant Surprise, There Really is a Big Fish!
"Li Gai!"
Jiang Wenyu was the first to catch up to Li Gai, grabbed him, and saw that his eyes were bloodshot, indeed influenced in his mind. He took a shiver of trepidation, realizing that even the treasures of the Holy Institute couldn't shield against this befuddling mental manipulation of the demonic beasts, indicating that something unholy lurked within.
It wouldn't do to linger; they had to retreat swiftly or risk further complications.
"Hurry, follow me!"
Having said that, Jiang Wenyu began to pull Li Gai back, while at the same time, Luo Qingcheng, Li Jiutian, and Chu Hongyang broke through the interception of the demonic beasts and caught up.
"We must withdraw quickly, Li Gai has been affected, we cannot stay for long, or we might all come under influence," said Jiang Wenyu, inducing a change in Luo Qingcheng's face and an inexplicable surge of worry and restlessness in his heart.
"Let's move fast!"
Luo Qingcheng pushed down the anxiety in his heart and called out in a low voice urgently. Right now, their Beast Tamer team had ventured the furthest into the demonic beast territory on the entire border battlefield.
No other Beast Tamer teams had ventured as deep as they had.
Moreover, the teams at the forefront had clearly been influenced to some degree. Luckily, with the support of teammates beside them, while many Beast Tamers were injured, there had been no casualties like the previous falls of Star Realm and Kings Realm Beast Tamers.
"You won't be leaving!"
Suddenly, a piercing roar exploded overhead, and immediately following, a massive silhouette loomed above them.
"Hahaha~ Finally, the day has come, I've been stifling myself for too long!"
Another voice rang out, and the crowd turned their heads to see a figure stretching thousands of kilometers, appearing on their right side.
"Swoosh~"
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh~swoosh~swoosh!"
A dozen figures cut through the sky, each posture massive. What was more terrifying was the aura they exuded, making the space tremble and the void buzz.
"Heavenly Saint Beasts!"
"And the Heavenly Saint Realm Demon Race!"
The complexions of Luo Qingcheng and the others paled in an instant. If it were only these Heavenly Saint Beasts, they would be altogether unable to stop these individuals before them.
After all, their scores were above the eightieth floor of the God-Sealing Tower; even against the Heavenly Saint Realm of the Demon Clan's royal clan, Luo Qingcheng could take on five by himself.
But the problem was, that was under the conditions of the God-Sealing Tower, where Luo Qingcheng could take on five opponents without the influence of surrounding factors, not like now, encircled by dozens of Heavenly Saint Realm elites from both demonic beasts and the Demon Race.
Furthermore, it wasn't only the Demon Clan's royal clan that had shown up but also from the Ten Major Royal Clans, not to mention those Elite Demon Clan members outside the Royal Clans.
"Capture them and bring them back!"
A youth dressed in a blue robe, indistinguishable from a human, positioned at the center amongst all the Heavenly Saint Realm beings, spoke out.
"At your command, Your Highness!"
The next second, ten figures beside the youth moved instantly.
"Swoosh~"
An extreme coldness spread rapidly from the center where everyone stood out to all sides.
In other directions, whether it was the overwhelming demonic beasts, Star Realm, or Kings Realm Beast Tamers, under this fearsome chill, none could even attempt to mount a defense and were instantly turned into ice sculptures.
"Damn it, ten members of the Demon Race Royal Family!!!"
Facing this terrifying cold, Luo Qingcheng and the others plunged into the depths of despair. Even if they exerted all their power against these ten members of the Demon Race Royal Family, the surrounding Heavenly Saint Realm beasts, Elite Demon Clan, and Demon Race Royal Family would still result in catastrophic casualties.
"Hahaha~ Sorry, everyone, this is all my fault!"
At this moment, the blood-red in Li Gai's eyes had faded considerably. Realizing the situation they were in, he let out a despairing chuckle, guiltily looking at the four people beside him.
```
"No more nonsense, let's find a way to break out!"
The next moment, the five of them, along with the twenty imperial beasts under their command, gave it their all without any reservations!
...
Meanwhile, the moment the Heavenly Saint Realm Monster beasts made their appearance, Xu Tianyang's face on the walls of Beacon City changed drastically.
"Heavenly Saint Beast!"
"No~ There are also Heavenly Saint Realm Demon Race, Elite Demon Clan, Demon Race Royal Family!"
"And the Demon Clan's royal clan~ Dozens of Heavenly Saint Realm Monster beasts and monster races showing up at once is unprecedented; what on earth are they after?"
Looking in the direction of where these dozens of Heavenly Saint Realm monsters appeared, the next second saw Xu Tianyang's heart sinking to rock bottom.
"All the Heavenly Saint Realm Beast Tamers, follow me into the assault!"
Xu Tianyang roared to the sky, and with a thunderous roar, he shot into the sky and flew directly into the battlegrounds at the frontier.
"City Lord!"
"City Lord!"
Xu Tianyang's actions shocked everyone to the left and right, and without time to react, all the Heavenly Saint Realm experts on the city wall stormed out after seeing this.
Although they did not know why Xu Tianyang was in such a frantic rush, they knew something big must have happened.
Otherwise, the normally calm and composed Xu Tianyang wouldn't have panicked like this.
At this moment, Xu Tianyang had already fused with his strongest imperial beast, unleashing all his power, resonating with the Yuan Qi between heaven and earth, and behind him, four other imperial beasts made their presence known.
Each beast was of a Level nine Heavenly Saint Realm cultivation level, with not a single one in the Emperor Realm.
In fact, the chasm between the Heavenly Saint Realm and the Emperor Realm stands not only in the way of human Beast Tamers, but also ahead of the vast majority of Monster beasts and monster races, most of whom find it difficult to cross in their lifetime.
Therefore, while humans can contract imperial beasts two realms higher than themselves, it becomes increasingly difficult for human cultivation to advance and even more so for Monster beasts to cross regimes.
Most Beast Tamers, when they're at the Kings Realm, have Heavenly Saint Realm beasts. When the Beast Tamers reach the Heavenly Saint Realm, their beasts are still Heavenly Saint Realm.
"Hurry, faster!"
At this moment, Xu Tianyang was in utter urgency, for he was one of the few who knew the true identities of Luo Qingcheng and the other four.
These five God-tier geniuses were sure to step into the Emperor Realm – top-tier seeds for the future.
Now they found themselves in peril, how could he not be both shocked and angry!
He simply couldn't imagine how he would face the Holy Institute, how he'd confront the entire Human Race if anything happened to these five.
These were future pillars of the Human Race.
Immediately after, he sent out a message that instantly disappeared into the depths of Beacon City.
...
"Holy shit~ I didn't expect there to be such big fish!"
At this moment, far away in Xuanyuan City, Ye Feng was concealed in space, feeling relieved that he had kept his cool and not revealed himself sooner.
If he had startled the snake by beating the grass, it would be unpredictable when he would have another opportunity to completely annihilate this group.
"Unexpectedly, both Monster Night and Ye Sha have placed their strongholds in the residence of Wang Ting, and both organizations have hidden Emperor Realm Experts."
"And most surprising of all, the commander of Ye Sha is actually a member of the Demon Clan's royal clan!"
Ye Feng's eyes sparkled with excitement – an Emperor Realm member of the Demon Clan's royal family surely knew much and held immense value for the Human Race.
It seems he had never heard of a case where the Human Race captured a member of the Demon Clan's royal family.
As for Monster Night's Emperor, he was of the Human Race, whom he had not seen before, but that no longer mattered. He just needed to quickly get Yang Wudi to capture them.
