Chapter 744: Intense Fight with Demonic Beast Overlord

“My sword dao strength should almost be comparable with my body refinement strength.” Li Fuchen said to himself.

In terms of sword art, the Primary Extreme Sword Art’s first move, Sword Sea Horizon was close to sword dao extremity.

In terms of cultivation technique, the Primary Extreme Sword Technique was also close to sword dao extremity.

With the two combined and the heaven class high-tier Joint-Heaven Sword, Li Fuchen’s sword dao strength was now at a horrifying level.

If Li Fuchen didn’t cultivate the Hand of God and cultivated other heaven class high-tier body refinement techniques or martial arts, his body refinement strength would never be superior to his sword dao strength.

However, this also proved how terrifying the Hand of God was. Li Fuchen had a premonition that the creator of the Hand of God was several times stronger than the Curse Heaven Lord and the Immortal Heaven Lord. The two heaven lords were still living not because they were the strongest, but they might not have encountered any crisis yet.

“I am probably at the initial state of 42nd rank.”

Even after pushing the Primary Extreme Sword Technique to the 42nd rank, Li Fuchen didn’t think that there was no room for improvement.

The initial state was only getting near to the extremity.

The mid state was closer to the extremity.

The later state was extremely close to extremity.

Take the Void Heaven Sword World and Sword Sea Horizon for example. The latter was obviously nearer to extremity, like the mid state of 42nd rank of the Primary Extreme Sword Technique.

Li Fuchen didn’t continue to comprehend the immortal great dao. It was already useless to him, at least for now. Unless Li Fuchen was willing to spend ten years or a century to comprehend the immortal great dao, otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve any progress.

Li Fuchen stood up and descended the mountain.

At the northern side of the peak, the Devil Sovereign was still comprehending the immortal great dao. Sensing that Li Fuchen was leaving, he didn’t plan to give chase. He didn’t make any progress for many years. This time, he was determined to move to the next level, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to take revenge on the Sword Emperor. As for Li Fuchen, he was far less in priority as compared to the Sword Emperor.

“Huh? He isn’t dead?”

“Did the Devil Sovereign spare him?”

“That’s strange.”

As everyone saw Li Fuchen descending unscathed, they were all rather surprised. They didn’t think that the Devil Sovereign was someone who could be reasoned with.

When reaching the foot of the mountain, Li Fuchen’s body felt light as his own dao started circulating again.

The duel in the peak wasn’t considered a true duel. Because none of them had even used 10% of their strength.

“My body refinement strength is inferior to the Devil Sovereign, but I have the Star Immortal Body and a superior spirit awareness. If we have to duel, I won’t be defeated.”

Li Fuchen now had a deeper understanding towards the top 10 rankers of the Great Emperor Rankings.

…

The silver airship flew over tall mountains, wide rivers, lakes, and many cities. But just to be precautious, Li Fuchen never entered any cities. If they wanted to eat or drink, they could choose a random town to stay for a period of time.

Unknowingly, Li Fuchen had already been at the Saint Spirit Continent for two years.

Apart from the progress in sword dao on the extreme dao mountain, Li Fuchen didn’t have any improvement in strength over the two years.

At this level, it was too difficult to make any progress. Each step upwards was the same as to burst through a major obstacle, similar to a bottleneck.

…

The night was the world for the demonic beasts and demons.

Due to the ravage from the demonic beasts and demons, some of the towns were destroyed.

Along the way, Li Fuchen would always help when he encountered towns that were under attack from demonic beasts and demons.

“Mm?”

Sensing a horrific demonic qi wave from the front, Li Fuchen frowned.

In the past, he had never encountered such a terrifying demonic qi wave.

Could it be a formidable demonic beast great ruler?

There were some formidable demonic beast great rulers that possessed overlord beast bloodlines.

Take the Thunder Beast for example. It was merely a mid-tier demonic beast ruler now, but it already had the strength of a demonic beast great ruler.

If the Thunder Beast progressed into a high-tier demonic beast ruler, its strength would be naturally fearsome. If it progressed into a demonic beast half-ruler, it would definitely possess the strength of top rankers in the Great Emperor Rankings.

Moreover, the Thunder Beast was only a low-tier overlord beast, there were still the superior mid-tier overlord beasts and high-tier overlord beasts.

Overlord beasts were able to contest with saints. Those demonic beast overlords that couldn’t contest with saints were normally not overlord beasts. They relied on fate and time to forcefully evolve into demonic beast overlords.

(TL note: Overlord beasts are those already destined to become demonic beast overlords, just like a 9-star bone frame or those with saint bloodline)

The array that was covering the town had already been ripped apart. Countless demonic beasts were ravaging the town. There was a massive demonic beast which opened its mouth and sucked countless humans into its stomach.

“Run!”

Inside the town, those with strengths of peak-level emperors and great emperors were trying to escape in a frenzy. Right now, they couldn’t even care for others.

Let alone them, even if a top 100 ranker of the Great Emperor Rankings was here, that person might not be a match for this demonic beast great ruler.

“Father, mother, I am scared!”

On the smashed up streets, a family of three were hugging each other tightly, while the little girl’s voice trembled.

“Xiaoying, don’t be scared. Father and mother will be with you forever.”

The man and the woman’s faces were covered in tears as they quietly waited to be eaten by the demonic beast.

“Haha! This is too satisfying! Humans are truly delicacies.”

The massive demonic beast opened its mouth to produce a suction force which sucked up all the humans on the street including the family of three.

“Evil beast, prepare to die.”

Endless swords qi descended from the sky like a storm. The swords qi felt as though they were spiritual as they went around the humans and only targeted the demonic beasts.

Pfff Pfff Pfff Pfff…

In the blink of the eye, countless demonic beasts were penetrated by the swords qi, and were all resting dead.

The family of three landed on the ground and when the little girl raised her head, she saw an unforgettable scene.

In the sky, there was a figure that was straight like a sword that stood in the night. The swords qi were all coming from his body.

The figure was none other than Li Fuchen.

Once the spiritual awareness reached the saint’s level, Li Fuchen was able to control Sect Origin Swords flawlessly. As long as he could lock onto the demonic qi from the demonic beasts, even if they were hiding in a crowd of humans, they would still be killed. As for those humans that didn’t have their qi presences locked on, the Sect Origin Swords qi would never hurt them.

There might be plenty of demonic beasts, but there were as many swords qi from Li Fuchen. Due to the anger, Li Fuchen released all one million swords qi from his life origin sword energy.

Each sword qi was able to kill a huge number of demonic beasts.

“Human, how dare you ruin the fun for me, the Sky Trample Great Ruler. You are courting death!”

A massive demonic beast rushed over.

It was a demonic beast that looked like an elephant and had the horns of a bull. The qi presence from its body was a thousand times more fearsome than the Thunder Beast. It was basically not on the same level.

Li Fuchen could see that this was an overlord beast, therefore, it had already grown into a high-tier demonic beast ruler.

“You are the one that is going to die.”

Li Fuchen blasted out a fist that struck straight at the head of the enemy.

Bang!

The Sky Trample Great Ruler’s head was flowing with blood while its massive body was sent flying backwards.

Li Fuchen had a slight change in expression as this Sky Trample Great Ruler had great defense.

The Sky Trample Great Ruler’s strength was comparable with Wu Chengjue, at most slightly superior. However, the defense was far superior.

But it was rather logical as a demonic beast’s defense was always several times tougher than humans. In situations where the strength was comparable, humans would never be a match for demonic beasts. If the human didn’t try to escape, they would only be slowly exhausted to death.

In order to kill a demonic beast within a short period of time, the human required strength that was several times stronger.

“Die!”

Li Fuchen chased after and smashed another fist on the Sky Trample Great Ruler’s head.

The Sky Trample Great Ruler was in a daze. Its head felt like a slur as it couldn’t think properly, let alone resisting.

Ten fists, twenty fists.

The Sky Trample Great Ruler’s head was already sinking in.

At the border of death, the Sky Trample Great Ruler raised its long trunk and let out a high-pitched trumpet. At the same time, it roared out, “My father is the Sky Quake Overlord, if you kill me, you are definitely dead.”

The Sky Quake Overlord was a famous demonic beast overlord on the Saint Spirit Continent. A regular saint wouldn’t wish to offend it.

“I don’t care who your father is. If you kill my human race members, you shall die.”

Li Fuchen circulated the Hand of Star’s qi power to the extremity and executed a fist that turned the Sky Trample Great Ruler into a blood mess, while its qi was slowly fading.

“No, you cannot kill me, my father is the Sky Quake Overlord, you cannot kill me.”

The Sky Trample Great Ruler was afraid, he didn’t wish to die. He was an overlord beast and was destined to become a demonic beast overlord. Once he became a demonic beast overlord, he would be able to go anywhere in the world. If he died now, he would be dead forever, and it didn’t matter even if his father avenged him.

“Die.”

Li Fuchen said loudly and used a comet-like fist to make the Sky Trample Great Ruler explode.

“We are done for, the Sky Trample Great Ruler is dead. We are all going to die too.”

All the demonic beast great rulers that followed the Sky Trample Great Ruler were panicking.

Once the upper echelon put down the blame, they were all going to be executed because of the Sky Trample Great Ruler’s death. But Li Fuchen was too powerful and they couldn’t interfere either. There were a few demonic beast great rulers that tried to help, but before they could get near, they were already smashed to pieces by the force of the fist.

“Since we have to die, we might as well eat to a full before dying.”

The demonic beast great rulers had eyes that glinted with ominous light as they wanted to continue consuming humans.

Li Fuchen didn’t give them the chance as he grabbed with a giant hand to clench all the demonic beast great rulers to death.

In just a moment, almost all the demonic beasts that were ravaging the town had been killed. There were only the weak remaining demonic beasts which were easily settled by the town.

“Kill!”

Seeing the reversal in situation, the town residents had eyes that glowed red as they charged at the demonic beasts in a frenzy.

They had never held such hatred towards demonic beasts and were enjoying their kills.

15 minutes later, the sounds of battle became softer, while the sounds of crying grew louder.

Most of the demonic beasts were killed, but the dead couldn’t be revived.

“Many thanks to the benefactor for saving the town. We have nothing to repay you and wish to be your slave in the next life.”

Many knelt down including the family of three.

Li Fuchen didn’t reply and only looked towards the night sky.

“Who killed Young Master Sky Trample!? Who!”

A horrific voice echoed in the void, causing the ground to shake. The dilapidated town had buildings that collapsed altogether.

“A demonic beast overlord?”

Inside the town, those peak-level emperors and great emperors had faces that turned dull.

Huff!

A giant beast claw descended as it covered the sky and was about to destroy the entire town.

“We are finished!”

Everyone stared blankly at the beast claw attack and didn’t have the intention to resist.

“I am the one who killed him, so what?”

A massive palm countered the beast claw.

Rumble!

The ground was like a tide that tumbled while Li Fuchen was sent flying back.

He was still lacking a little to fight with a demonic beast overlord. In terms of combat strength, he was already losing out to the Devil Sovereign.

Once his strength was at the level of the Devil Sovereign or the Sword Sovereign, he should be able to contest with regular low-tier overlords.
