Fishing the Myriad Heavens

Chapter 622: Sorrow Follows Extreme Joy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The group of cultivators was full of curses. Even those with good temper also had black faces at this moment.

The stone sculptures on both sides of the bridge were packed together incredibly densely, and none of those Demonic Beasts the sculptures depicted were not peak-level races!

At this time, all of these sculptures had come alive!

Well, it wasn’t right to say that they’d come alive; it was the shadows cast from them!

The shadows of these Demonic Beasts moved extremely lively, blocking the crowd’s advance.

“This can’t be? It’s the Blood Tiger!”

“Brother, yours is still fine; look at mine! This is a f*cking Sky Devouring Beast!”

“Is this the test to enter the ruins? We have to fight against these Demonic Beasts?!”

Everyone’s faces were black. How were they supposed to fight them?!

The people in the outside world also noticed this development. With a shake of its body, the Demon Venerable transformed into a human.

A black armor brimming with power appeared around the Demon Venerable, covering his body and masking his true appearance.

“This is something that’s never happened previously. Could there be an abnormal development within the ruins?” the Demon Venerable mumbled under his breath as his eyes shone.

Everyone else’s faces turned serious. From the looks of things, the ruin expedition this time wasn’t going to be easy.

They were more concerned about their descendants, and whether they could survive.

Even if the disciples they’d brought along this time weren’t the best geniuses, they were only slightly weaker.

Losing a few people wasn’t much of a problem to them, but if too many died or were injured, even these large factions would feel it.

Bei Feng’s expression was unchanged. He’d provided the resources and the martial techniques. Since he’d chosen this path, he naturally understood the risks.

Without leaving the crowd much time to think, the Demonic Beasts charged forward.

“This is weird... Why are these Demonic Beasts so much weaker than I imagined?”

“These Demonic Beasts are even weaker than us by a small realm!”

The moment they started exchanging blows, everyone was shocked. These were the shadows of peak-level Demonic Beasts, but they were actually much weaker than they’d imagined.

For some unknown reason, they were even one small realm below the crowd in terms of cultivation!

For instance, if a cultivator was at the peak of the Hundred Year realm Fourth Layer, then the Demonic Beast facing him would be a peak Third Layer Hundred Year realm monster!

After discovering this, everyone burst forth with strength as if they’d received a shot of chicken’s blood.

“Haha, these Demonic Beasts are rather weak, huh? Watch me kill this one with two blows!” A skinny youth laughed as he charged towards a shadow.

“You only know how to bully these Demonic Beasts a level weaker. If it’s within the same realm, they would pummel you until you begin to doubt your life!” A cultivator beside him simply sneered with disdain.

However, being disdainful was one thing, while these Demonic Beasts being one level weaker being a very beneficial thing for him was another.

If the Demonic Beasts were on the same level as everyone, then it would be quite good if even just a handful of people managed to pass this round.

The crowd rubbed their palms with glee, anxious to try.

“Ah! How can it be so strong?!” A wretched scream rang out, the voice seemingly filled with terror. Everyone quickly looked towards the source of the cry.

With that look, everyone’s heart chilled!

The crowd only felt a cold chill spreading from the feet, climbing directly to their heads!

That arrogant person who’d said earlier that he would smash the Demonic Beast in front of him in a few blows was, in that moment, caught in the pincers of a large scorpion, unable to move at all!

This scorpion’s cultivation was merely at the late stage of the Third Layer of the Hundred Year realm Fourth Layer, while the skinny guy’s cultivation was at the Hundred Year realm Fourth Layer!

But the most shocking thing was that this battle between two characters with such an imbalanced level of strength had already reached the crucial stage between life and death in the blink of an eye!

What was even more unbelievable was that the one that was facing death was... the ‘stronger’ human cultivator!

This scorpion was completely black, and its shiny carapace obviously contained terrifying defensive strength. Its large pincers were huge to a terrifying extent, and were also incomparably sharp!

Its long tail was raised highly in the air, and a few drops of silvery white liquid hung on its tip.

A hair-raisingly scary ghostly face could be seen on its back, seeming exceedingly evil.

At this time, it raised its pincers to its mouth, pushing its defeated prey in.

“Gulp!”

Everyone swallowed their saliva at the same time.

Naturally, it was not from seeing the scorpion eating so deliciously. It was from fright!

This scorpion was already so ferocious. Then, how weak could others’ opponents be?

“AH! No way! I am a heaven’s chosen! How can I die here?!”

“They’re too strong! Is that the difference between us?”

As expected, terrifying screams rang out continuously from the stone bridge. Countless arrogant cultivators had paid the price for underestimating their opponent!

A young genius of a large family stood dumbly on the spot with a large bloody hole on his chest. His face was filled with unwillingness. A moment later, he swayed lightly before collapsing on the ground. A monkey stood behind him, grasping a bloody beating heart in its hand. A look of disdain flashed through its eyes as it sniffed at the heart. However, it still proceeded to swallow the heart.

“Quick! Everyone, we need to work together! We’re not a match for these beasts alone!”

“Everyone, listen to my instructions; these Demonic Beasts are not as united as we humans, so we can definitely beat them one at a time!”

A rogue cultivator called out, and very quickly, a group of 40 gathered, facing the Demonic Beasts in front of them with determination.

Nothing changed with the Demonic Beasts, causing quite a number of people to heave a sigh of relief.

“Idiots!”

“Stop looking. Those people are dead for sure!”

Qing Ruyu glanced over at the group of rogue cultivators, and a look of disdain flashed in her eyes.

They couldn’t win even in single combat, so what would they be able to do against the Demonic Beasts that’d grouped up as well?

Even if those Demonic Beasts were disorganized, a group of Demonic Beasts would forever be far more terrifying than a single Demonic Beast!

Not to mention that these Demonic Beasts all had top-tier bloodlines. Their battle strength was all cream of the top among the same cultivation!

Fighting opponents above their strength was as simple as eating and drinking to them! If it was an isolated one-on-one battle, it wasn’t necessarily an impossible challenge, but with them gathered together now...

Were there any wolf packs afraid of a flock of sheep?

“Ah!”

“Why did that Demonic Beast attack me?!”

“Aren’t everyone’s Demonic Beast different?!”

The newly formed group of cultivators was torn apart in an instant. The fierce Demonic Beasts were like tigers that’d descended from the mountains, wreaking havoc through their formation.

These cultivators were absolutely terrified. Their opponent had clearly been only a single Demonic Beast previously, but now when they’d grouped up, any Demonic Beast that charged over could be their opponent!

In less than a minute, the group was completely wiped out, leaving behind nothing but a few shreds of ruined clothing.

Without any fanfare, the blood on the bridge disappeared, and the remaining pieces of clothes also turned into dust as if they’d gone through several millennia in an instant, blown away with the wind.

Nothing remained from the group of rogue cultivators!

After seeing this, everyone’s face twitched, and they hurriedly pulled apart the distance from the people around them.

If they somehow attracted the opponent of some other person before they were even done fighting their own, that would be a truly lame death!

Fortunately, what everyone was worried about didn’t happen. Those 40 Demonic Beasts only looked coldly at the crowd before disappearing.

“Phew, the worst-case scenario didn’t happen!”

Everyone loosed a breath. Had those 40 Demonic Beasts continued to look for new opponents after killing their targets, it would’ve been a disaster.

“Giant Bear Strike!”

One of the eight guards that’d been sent by Bei Feng, Lu Wei, was currently engaged in a fierce fight against a large elephant.

The two side clashed tens of times in the blink of an eye, and every clash would cause Lu Wei to stumble backwards continuously. However, Lu Wei seemed to be growing fiercer as he fought!

The Bear Form Fist of the Form and Will Fist had only been imparted to him several minutes ago!

The fact that Lu Wei’s comprehension had improved because of the Tianjun Liquid was not the only factor in him managing to unleash this attack so quickly. More importantly, it was the pressure of death if he couldn’t win!

A person’s potential would most often only be unleashed perfectly in a moment of life and death!

At this time, Lu Wei did not have any other thoughts in his mind other than the wish to live on. There was no use in trying to escape, and the only way out was to forge a path forward to seek an opportunity to live!

Bears were the overlords of the forest, and they did not retreat even when facing the powerful tigers. Giant Bears were even more indomitable, and in that critical moment, Lu Wei comprehended a bit more of the true meaning behind this technique!

Time passed, and even though Lu Wei’s performance wasn’t bad, and he fought a close battle with the Demonic Beast, he would suffer some backlash after every clash.

Once or twice was not a problem, since blood Qi would recover by itself, but as the injuries accumulated, Lu Wei’s movements turned slower, and his blood Qi was becoming more lethargic.

“Mountain Leaning Bear!”

Lu Wei completely discarded all care. Even if he had to die, he would still tear off a chunk of flesh from his opponent to prove his value to Bei Feng!

Lu Wei and the rest had all been living under the wings of Bei Feng all the time. Most of the things were handled by Lu Bu and Bei Feng himself, while the rest of them resembled mere accessories.

This was what made Lu Wei and the rest feel the most aggrieved, and they felt like they hadn’t fulfilled their responsibilities.

And so, Lu Wei and the rest were more hungry for power than anyone else!

Lu Wei’s body shook, and the muscles on his back arched highly. Even through his clothes, his muscles could be seen building like a metal plate.

The Form and Will Fist was not a standard martial technique with unchanging moves. It was a martial technique that used nature, heaven and earth as the teacher. Even if two people trained with the same Form and Will Fist, the results could still be completely different.

At this time, Lu Wei could clearly feel the flow of the blood in his veins, and hear his own powerful heartbeat. Everything around him seemed to have quieted down.

“Wuu!”

Lu Wei’s opponent, a dark golden-skinned elephant comparable in size to a fully grown elephant on earth, raised its tusks high in the air and trumpeted as a shocking aura blasted from it!

Looking at the tiny human in front of it, the elephant lifted its front legs and stomped downwards!

“Break for me!” Lu Wei roared madly. Even if he was a shooting star, he was determined to light up the entire night sky, casting a brilliance that belonged only to himself onto the world!

Lu Wei did not attempt to dodge or hide, and directly threw himself towards the elephant’s foot!

“Bang!”

Elephants symbolized power, and this one was clearly not an ordinary elephant as well. This was a Great Strength Heaven Shaking Elephant, and its blood Qi was like a furnace, with near inexhaustible power. A stomp with all of its strength was certainly no child’s play. The power in this stomp alone carried a force of several tens of thousand jin! The instant Lu Wei’s back slammed against it, he spat out a huge mouthful of blood, which turned into a blood mist.
