Chapter 901: Meow
Chapter 901: Meow
...As the offspring of the Golden Dragon King, North-South Green Bean Haimi, possessing a million years of Battle Power, was clearly not made of mud.
Boom!
Before the tremor of the earth could subside, a burst of azure-golden flame erupted from the distant ruins.
North-South Green Bean Haimi stabilized its form mid-air as it was sent flying.
Its brain, stunned and dazed by that slap, finally regained some consciousness at this moment.
In the next second, a hum—!
Some ancient runes flowed across its bronze-colored scales, actually dispersing seventy to eighty percent of the terrifying force from Chen Huaian's previous strike.
Apart from being somewhat dusty and disheveled, it was completely unharmed.
"Hah—!!!"
North-South Green Bean Haimi was enraged.
It was the king of the Starry Sky Great Forest, a Demigod Level existence. When had it ever suffered such a humiliating disgrace?
Its massive body abruptly contracted, then shot back like a cyan-colored cannonball, instantly traversing thousands of miles to re-enter the battlefield.
"Battle Technique—Dragon King's Hah!"
North-South Green Bean Haimi reared up on its hind legs, its broad chest violently expanding before it opened its bloody maw wide, aiming at the minuscule Chen Huaian.
Hum—
At this moment, space seemed to solidify.
An immense, mountain-like golden dragon phantom, carrying the imperial majesty of one who looks down upon the world, materialized with a roar behind Haimi.
That was no illusion; it was divine might from the source of its bloodline, the manifestation of its Golden Dragon King heritage.
Golden sound waves spread out like ripples on water. Wherever they passed, space shattered inch by inch, triggering a series of explosions that blasted straight toward Chen Huaian.
For the other fighters who were not directly targeted, there was only a soul-crushing, oppressive weight.
"Ugh..."
Within the ruins formed by toppled ancient trees in the distance, even Bixixi, with the strength of a Legendary Battle Master, was now pinned firmly to the ground by this residual pressure. Moving a single finger had become an impossible luxury. It was suppression by life hierarchy, the despair of mortals facing a deity.
However.
At the center of this golden pressure, potent enough to make Legendary Battle Masters kneel and submit.
The man dressed in snow-white clothes merely let out a cold laugh.
He clasped his hands behind his back and stepped forward.
Tap, tap, tap.
The crisp sound of footsteps was particularly jarring within the deathly silent pressure field.
The violent golden sound waves crashed against him like a gentle breeze brushing past a mountain ridge, unable to even lift the hem of his clothes.
He was so leisurely, strolling casually.
As if he were admiring flowers in his own backyard, not standing within the killing Domain of a million-year World Beast.
"This... how is this possible?!"
North-South Green Bean Haimi's turbid vertical pupils instantly widened into perfect circles as it swallowed hard.
It was a million-year World Beast with the bloodline of the Golden Dragon God. Even if it was a bit dim, any random Battle Technique should be enough to give a human a hard time.
But this human... no, this thing doesn't seem to be human!
Before North-South Green Bean Haimi could figure out what kind of creature Chen Huaian was...
Whoosh.
That white-clothed figure vanished into thin air.
There was no spatial fluctuation; even afterimages shattered under extreme speed.
In the next instant.
Chen Huaian had already appeared directly beneath the broad chest and abdomen of North-South Green Bean Haimi.
He looked up at the sky-obscuring cyan scales above him, a cold, sharp arc hooking at the corner of his mouth.
His right fist clenched.
Retracted to his waist.
Then, without any flourish, he threw a punch straight upward.
"Inch Force."
Thump————!!!
A dull sound.
The sound wasn't particularly loud, like striking a worn-out piece of leather.
But the next second.
Haimi's massive body suddenly stiffened, its eyeballs bulging out, bloodshot.
Everyone could clearly see, upon its seemingly indestructible bronze breastplate,
a visible ring of shockwaves instantly exploded. The hard scales undulated and shattered like waves.
The terrifying kinetic force pierced through its body, blasting a vacuum hole a hundred meters in diameter into the sky directly behind it.
BOOM!!!
The gigantic body was sent flying out once again.
This time, it flew lower, flatter.
Like a top whipped hard by a mischievous child,
North-South Green Bean Haimi slid and tumbled across the ground at extreme speed.
Everything in its path, whether towering ancient trees or solid rock, was utterly pulverized by its steel-like body.
Another canyon, stretching for ten miles and bottomless, was plowed open by its body.
Dust billowed, and shattered stones shot through the air.
Watching this scene, Bixixi was utterly dumbfounded.
This... could this even be called a 'battle'?
Then what did her previous back-and-forth fight with two hundred-thousand-year World Beasts count as?
Playing house?!
However, North-South Green Bean Haimi was not dead.
This creature's vitality and defensive power were simply outrageously strong.
"ROAR!!"
It staggered to its feet from the ruins, the fury in its eyes having turned to madness.
"Battle Technique—Haimi's Sky-Rending Claw!"
"Battle Technique—Jimmy's Dragon Flame Explosion!"
"Battle Technique—Mighty Charge!"
It charged again and again, unleashing terrifying Battle Techniques capable of destroying cities each time.
But the result...
Smack!
Chen Huaian sidestepped to avoid the claw capable of tearing space, then backhanded a slap across its face, sending it spinning three and a half rotations in the air.
Boom!
Chen Huaian single-handedly crushed the sky-full of dragon flames, then flew up and kicked it in the stomach, sending it crashing hundreds of meters deep into the earth.
...
Around them.
Bixixi and the surviving fighters of the Battle Soul Hall were becoming somewhat numb.
Their mouths hung agape, their eyes glazed over, as if performing in an absurd silent film.
That was a million-year World Beast!
The pinnacle of combat power on this continent, the legendary descendant of divine beasts!
Yet at this moment, it was like a sandbag being casually kneaded, being ground into the dirt by that white-clothed man.
Apart from the teeth-grating sounds of physical collisions and the increasingly pitiful wails of North-South Green Bean Haimi, no other sounds remained in this forest.
Finally.
Huff... huff...
After being sent flying a consecutive eighteen times.
North-South Green Bean Haimi finally couldn't get up anymore.
More than half of the scales covering its body were shattered. Its originally ferocious and imposing face was now swollen like a steamed bun, bruised and battered, utterly disheveled.
Panting heavily, it crawled before Chen Huaian, its limbs trembling.
"Really tough..."
Chen Huaian looked at the mountain of meat before him and couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
Apart from having maxed-out defense, this creature was indeed utterly mediocre.
Its attack methods were simple and crude, lacking any sinister skills targeting the Divine Soul, and possessing no Law power.
If the opponent had some Battle Techniques targeting the Divine Soul, it would have posed a significant threat to his current Battle Soul form.
Unfortunately... this thing was purely a meat shield.
"Since you're so resistant to beatings..."
Chen Huaian frowned slightly, slowly raising his right hand. A sharp, keen Sword Intent was coalescing in his palm.
"Then I'll just slice you up."
Sensing that chilling intent, sufficient to dismember it into pieces.
North-South Green Bean Haimi's muddled brain achieved an unprecedented level of clarity in that instant.
Its vertical pupils flashed with a remarkably human-like mix of terror and resolve.
The next second.
Under the utterly bewildered gazes of everyone.
This once-arrogant million-year Fierce Beast, its short forelimbs suddenly wrapped around its head.
Thump!
Its mountain-like body, with extreme smoothness and practiced ease... knelt down.
Its eyes were clear, its butt and tail sticking high up in the air, as it let out a whimper filled with fawning and pleading:
"Meow~"
