Chapter 475: Beast Swarm

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

On the second day, war drums roared.

Fang Yuan stood on top of a tall platform along with other elders as he defended the few 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream masters beside him.

'According to Sages' arrangements, the 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream masters should be making their moves today... The first wave of attack should be from the dream beast masters from the different organisations!"

Fang Yuan was currently standing side by side with Elder Smelter as they guarded Elder Thick Earth who was behind them.

This honest and sincere looking middle-aged looking elder was a rare dream beast master in the Realm Alliance! He had even cultivated to the 7th Tier of Illusionary Divine stage!

"Before the 7th Tier of Illusionary Divine stage, dream beast masters placed greater emphasis on the transformation of their own body. After reaching the 7th Tier of Illusionary Divine stage, dream beast masters will possess their own prosperous land and thus, they will be able to develop their beasts. However, this development is costly and consumes too much, even powerful beings will be exhausted. Therefore, only huge organisations can provide the support for them! Furthermore, compared to other powerful beings, they have the weakest self-defence and required bodyguards!"

Fang Yuan quickly calculated the pros and cons of such dream beast masters.

Although they could transform into magical beasts, it was still too weak for these powerful beings.

Of course, if they were given sufficient time, dream beast masters would be undefeatable in massacring normal people and conquering lands.

"Rest assured, Thick Earth! With us here, no enemy can disrupt you!"

Elder Smelter assured.

"Of course I am assured."

Thick Earth rolled his eyes, "The two armies are battling it out now and behind me is the Sage, unless the Head of Hidden Dragon Guards is so impetuous, who could kill until here?"

Although Thick Earth was afraid of decapitating war tactics, after all, he was still a 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master. Once he transformed into a magical beast, normal 6th Tier Illusionary Divine dream masters would all die to him. Thus, he naturally had some haughtiness to him.

"I'm starting!"

Behind Elder Thick Earth, the illusory image of a prosperous land appeared and began to become more real. A grassland bordered with reality and opened up some sort of gigantic space passage.

Large amounts of dense black dots rushed out from the prosperous land as though they were guided by something.

'Prosperous land...'

Fang Yuan felt rather emotional as he watched.

Since he had also cultivated to the 7th Tier of Illusionary Divine stage, he also had the ability to open up a prosperous land. However, such a huge investment was the prime example of high expenditure, high returns, but slow results. With the big war impending, only fools would slowly tend to their prosperous land.

"There are many benefits to prosperous lands, not only is it a completely safe logistics base, it also acts as a protection for family members and loved ones. It also provides good returns... Furthermore, the greater the prosperous land, the stronger the spiritual territory's power is. It can even save one's life in key moments!"

Previously when Fang Yuan fought with Feng Buer, he would not have won so easily if his 7 Constellations Sword Array and torrential array did not happen to suppress Feng Buer's prosperous land and hollow.

'That Feng Buer is a dream spells master, which is the most common path, of course his prosperous land is nothing much. But this Elder Thick Earth is different..."

Fang Yuan carefully stared at the door to the prosperous land. It appeared as though golden flames were sparkling in his eyes.

Elder Thick Earth did live up to his name. The prosperous land was vast and its breath of the earth was abundant. It was much better tended to compared to Feng Buer's.

"Chi! Chi!"

"Chi! Chi!"

Immediately, the sea of black dots swarmed out from the door of the prosperous land. They were all humanoids that were 9 feet tall and covered in black fur. They had tusks and their eyes were bloodshot.

"Iron-armed Spiritual Monkeys?"

As Fang Yuan looked at their thick and solid claws, he immediately thought of a certain creature, "I heard such Iron-armed Spiritual Monkeys have extremely powerful arms and their skin and fur are as tough as iron. They have explosive temperaments and even a group of Wu Zongs at the Meridian Opening Realm would be battered dead by them."

Over 10,000 ferocious beasts had appeared!

Large amounts of Iron-armed Spiritual Monkeys formed an orderly wave as they roared and rushed towards the city walls of the Jade Capital without caring about the nearby allied soldiers at all.

Although the city walls were tall, thick and shiny, it was child's play for the spiritual monkeys' sharp claws.

"Victory! Victory! Victory!"

The allied forces chanted and they were filled with confidence.

This swarm of 100,000 Iron-armed Spiritual Monkeys was merely a prequel. At the same time, from another direction, other dream beast masters began their performance.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

A prosperous land door opened and a dark cloud emerged that covered almost half the sky. Immediately, big savage looking birds with black feathers that covered their entire body emerged and charged towards the Jade Capital City.

"Putt! Putt!"

As they flapped their wings, black feathers flew down immediately which pierced down like nails.

"Nail Feather Vultures..."

Fang Yuan mumbled. He then heard something again.

The soil was moving up and down while the sound of sand moving about could be heard. This wave motion even reached the base of the city walls and caused strong tremors as though an earthquake was happening.

"There is a swarm of beasts below the ground too! They are Steel-toothed Giant Ants! This dream master is so devious, he wants to directly dig under the Jade Capital until it collapses!"

Fang Yuan nodded his head slightly.

Dream beast masters could summon hundreds of thousands of beasts with a wave of their hands! This was their strength and fundamentals!

In actual fact, from Elder Thick Earth's performance, these Iron-armed Spiritual Monkeys were merely just cannon fodder.

Only the dream beast masters themselves knew which of their beasts were the true elites!

As they had the ability to create living things, no one could predict what kind of ferocious beasts they could create in their prosperous land.

With just these, it was already enough for the soldiers of the Jade Capital to tremble in fear.

"Shoot!"

On top of the city walls, a general's command could be heard loud and clear. Evidently, he was a Wu Zong at the highest level of the Meridian Opening Realm, he might even be a True Divine!

At this stage, Da Qian Imperial Court could no longer hide their strength. All their Wu Zong's and spiritual knights appeared one by one.

"Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!"

On top of the city walls, numerous weird looking arcuballistas were used to fire arrows. They had a strange design and each of its core was a black coloured rectangular box. Every time it was launched, countless fire arrows flew out from the topmost layer of the box.

In the blink of an eye, millions of arrows landed on the swarm of monkeys.

"Kababoom!"

Tens of thousands of arrows were shot at the same time and formed a fire net. After each arrowhead struck its target, it immediately exploded which resulted in additional damage.

Sparks and flames covered the skies. It was as though it was a hurricane of arrows and thousands of Iron-armed Spiritual Monkeys were turned into ashes.

"Change the arrows!"

After the command from the top of the city walls, the machinery noise of the arcuballistas could be heard. The black coloured box was dismounted and another giant box was loaded up. It was then ignited and launched in an instant.

It's launching speed was astonishing fast and so was its arrow consumption. Soon enough, three giant boxes had been used up.

Its effect and results were astoundingly good too. After a few rounds, the 100,000 strong monkey swarm was close to being completely annihilated. Broken limbs and remains were scattered all over the battlefield. There was also a nauseating and repulsive stench from the blood and burnt flesh mixing together.

Seeing such a scene, the allied soldiers quivered in fear. Even Shi Longtu was drenched in cold sweat as he knew that if his troop was faced with such a deadly weapon, they would turn into ashes in just a day!

"Eh?"

However, Fang Yuan saw something different from it, "Shouldn't such powerful weapons be used at the very last as the killing move? The best way to handle a powerful dream beast master would be with another powerful dream beast master... Looks like, the Imperial Court does not have such an expert!"

"That's natural... The Imperial Court's dream masters are within the Hidden Dragon Guards!"

As Elder Smelter mentioned that, he was rather infuriated, "But how many dream masters could they have? They would at most have the same number of dream master as our alliance, of course they would not have enough manpower."

On top of the city walls.

The Head of Hidden Dragon Guards calmly looked at the scene in front of him and ordered, "Since they are already used, there's no need to hide them anymore. Anyway, this Exploding Flames Divine Fire Arrow is only useful against lower tiered cultivators. The allied forces would also find a way to suppress it by tomorrow! Just use up all the remaining stock."

"Yes, Head!"

On top of the four-sided city walls, the arcuballistas shot towards the skies. Large amounts of Nail Feather Vulture shrieked in pain as they exploded and landed on the ground. Feathers and blood covered the ground as though a black and red coloured storm had just past.

In the blink of an eye, the tables have turned.

Two out of the three swarms of beasts had already been obliterated by the Imperial Court's powerful weapon which they had stored for years.

"The Imperial Court still indeed has its strength!"

Seeing such, Fang Yuan and Elder Smelter did not say anything. Elder Thick Earth's face turned red as he summoned another beast swarm.

"Chi! Chi!"

"Chi! Chi!"

This time around, the beast swarm which appeared was still made up of monkeys. However, there were only 10,000 of them this time. Each of them was strong and capable looking, their fur was of a shiny silver colour and each of them had a pair of wings. Fang Yuan could not think of their name at all.

"This seems like a mutated form of Iron-armed Spiritual Monkeys. Rumour has it that their monkey king has pure golden fur. Silver fur and with wings... what kind of monkeys are they?"

As Fang Yuan muttered, he purposely made sure Elder Thick Earth could hear him.

"Truth be told….."

Elder Thick Earth looked slightly excited as he explained, "This is a brand new species I created after spending years on it. I expedited the growth of a group of iron-armed monkeys until they are silver coloured and are at the elite level before I combined them with the wings of the East Sea Feathered Tribe. Initially, while I was creating them, I failed thousands of times! I'm naming them as Winged Monkeys. They have wings on their backs and can fly, hehe..."

Elder Thick Earth was filled with excitement which made Fang Yuan thought of the crazy scientists in the previous realms.

7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream masters could create beasts but they could not just create whatever they wanted. Instead, it was like an experiment. If it was too out of the norm, it would lead to the collapse of the genes and the resultant creature would not be able to successfully reproduce!

This was just like how Elder Thick Earth had to obtain his resources from Da Qian World and how he had to try his best to adhere to conventions in order to create this new species of monkey. Even so, he only succeeded after he failed so many times.

"Rumble! Rumble!"

The ground shook stronger and stronger. Numerous Winged Monkeys roared as they flapped their wings and flew to the sky.

"This is... the Steel-toothed Giant Ants?"

Fang Yuan looked at the slowly sinking foundation and immediately knew what was going on, "Because the city walls are protected by arrays and cannot be broken through, we are thus going downwards and preparing to sink its foundation?"

...

On top of the city walls, even the person under the giant yellow umbrella could feel the slight tremors.

"Your Majesty!"

The Head of Hidden Dragon Guards walked to Emperor Zhao Ming and slightly nodded his head, "It can't be avoided anymore, please command the grand secretaries of Spiritual Light Hall to make their move now!"

Although his demeanour was not respectful, no one felt displeased about it at all. Even the emperor himself felt it should be this way too, "Pass down my orders, the grand secretaries of Spiritual Light Hall are to assist Head in clearing the rebels!"
