The people watching from outside Zenith Mountain were astonished. “Why is that beast so powerful? Not even two Arbiters working together can defeat it.”
“And the scariest thing is that, of its six eyes, it’s only opened one so far. Could its power possibly increase every time it opens an eye?
“Of course, everybody knows that! The predicted top ten lists are going to change. That beast is definitely going to enter the top ten.”
“It’s so scary! There really are many different kinds of beasts in the Astral Beast Domain.”
…
Mu En appeared from some corner of the sky and solemnly said, “Star Devourers have appeared a few times in the past, but whenever one appears, it always causes terrible damage to us since there are very few people who can stand up to such a beast.”
Qinmei Mavis was standing next to him. She was a powerhouse from the Mavis clan, and she replied, “Not only do the Star Devourers have amazing strength, but they are also naturally resistant to star energy attacks, which is similar to how people from the Sixth Mainland naturally suppress those from the Fifth Mainland. The beasts’ attacks can destroy star energy, and its immense strength makes it a very difficult opponent.”
“In the past, your Mavis clan has competed against Star Devourers in terms of physical strength, but sadly, your clan was always defeated.” Mu En sighed.
Qinmei Mavis looked dejected. “We’ve never been able to defeat those creatures. A Star Devourer has the greatest strength of anyone in the entire universe.”
The Xia family patriarch, Xia Yi, appeared. “You’re wrong. The strongest was the clone of Progenitor Chen who acquired the giants’ bloodline.”
Qinmei Mavis paused, but then she nodded. “Progenitor Chen was truly invincible.”
“Although they are powerful, it is still possible to defeat the beasts by utilizing other methods,” Mu En said.
Elsewhere, the Sixth Mainland’s powerhouses were also watching from around Zenith Mountain, and among them was Nong Laohan, an elder from the Nong family.
Nong Laohan watched as the Star Devourer fought against Wen Sansi and the others and exclaimed, “The Fifth Mainland also has it hard. We’ve never seen such a beast in our Sixth Mainland.”
Ancestor Autumnfrost appeared nearby. “That beast is not from the Fifth Mainland.”
Nong Laohan looked over at the other elder in shock.
Ancestor Autumnfrost explained, “Have you forgotten about the other four mainlands? Some of the beasts in the Astral Beast Domain, and even some of the clans in the Human Domain, originate from the previous four mainlands.”
“There are a considerable number of such beasts in the Fifth Mainland that came from the previous mainlands. If not for those creatures, it would have been much easier to invade the Fifth Mainland.” Madam Hong appeared with a cold expression on her face as she stared at the mountain’s eastern face. She also glared at Lu Yin. She should have killed him before, as he had now risen to a level where he could injure Hong Ying with just the flick of a finger. Madam Hong wondered how Hong Ying was faring and hoped that the girl was not dead.
As Madam Hong stared at Lu Yin, she suddenly thought of someone and smiled.
Zenith Mountain’s northern face fell into chaos due to Star Devourer. After revealing his massive size, the beast had become everyone’s public enemy. Despite that, he was still able to withstand all the attacks due to his sheer power. Conversely, another beast had revealed its enormous size on the western side of the mountain, but it had met with an unfortunate end. That beast had been an Amethyst Beast named Zi Tongtian, and it had revealed itself even earlier than Star Devourer.
However, the Amethyst Beast had not been as powerful as Star Devourer, and he had been quickly eliminated by Ling Gong and Yōu Qi.
Amethyst Beasts were very powerful, but this one had met even stronger opponents.
Yōu Qi had an impenetrable defense and was so powerful that even Zi Tongtian had been completely helpless against him. Additionally, Ling Gong had used her Skycastle to suppress Zi Tongtian, which had led to the beast’s instant death.
The powerhouses from the Astral Beast Domain who had initially grown excited because of Star Devourer fell silent upon seeing Zi Tongtian’s death.
Humans were not easy to deal with.
Zhuo Daynight and Nightqueen Yanqing were both on Zenith Mountain’s western face, and Nightqueen Yanqing had naturally attacked Zhuo Daynight.
The Daynight clan’s conflict drew many people’s attention, and Lu Yin also turned to watch the battle.
Although Lu Yin was uncertain as to just how powerful Nightqueen Yanqing had become, he was confident that Zhuo Daynight would not suffer defeat.
A hundred meters away from Nightqueen Yanqing and Zhuo Daynight’s battle, a fat and a thin figure excitedly discussed something.
“Fat Bro, look, there’s a flying stone.”
“Thin Bro, that must be some beast from the Fifth Mainland’s Astral Beast Domain.”
“But isn’t it a stone?”
“How can a stone fly? It has to be a beast.”
“Fat Bro, I- I- I like it.”
“Thin Bro, I- I like it, too.”
“Let’s go!”
Little Mountain God was feeling very relaxed. He watched the battle between the two girls from the Daynight clan take place on his left before turning to watch the Sixth Mainland’s Sword Scholar fight with Shu Jing, an Honor Chosen from the Hall of Honor. Neither of the fights affected Little Mountain God, as he was just a stone that was easily overlooked.
Suddenly, Little Mountain God grew wary and instinctively dodged to the side. A fat figure and a thin silhouette crashed onto the ground right where it had been standing.
Little Mountain God moved along while wondering who those two people were. They were probably just a couple of random cultivators who were not very powerful.
Little Mountain God looked behind himself. Hmm? Isn’t that someone from the Great Eastern Alliance?
He felt that it was time for him to teach such a person a lesson since they were alone. How dare the Outerverse unite to move against the Innerverse? What a joke!
Suddenly, Little Mountain God felt some sort of threat again, and he immediately dodged. The ground shook, and Little Mountain God looked back. Hmm? Those people look familiar. Aren’t they those two fat and thin cultivators? How are they still conscious? They must be the two attacking me.
The Greenmen Duo looked at Little Mountain God with excited eyes. “That’s definitely something good! It has such quick reactions. Fat Bro, I have to catch it and give it to you.”
“Thin Bro, I’m going to catch it and give it to you.”
“Fat Bro, we’re brothers forever.”
“Thin Bro, let’s work hard.”
Little Mountain God was dazed. Just what was going on?
“Catch it!” The Greenmen Duo rushed at Little Mountain God, but he instantly made his escape. He was not scared of the two, though he did feel rather disgusted by them since they looked like two madmen.
Neither Little Mountain God nor the Greenmen Duo had noticed that there was a tiny bug as large as a fingernail sitting atop Little Mountain God’s head. The bug looked like a beetle, and it remained perfectly still atop Little Mountain God’s head.
As for the northern face of the mountain, the energy waves from the top of Zenith Mountain kept washing over the competitors. Yao Xuan, the Celestial Beast Empire’s crown prince, stood in front of the mountain pass as he looked down at the various competitors. A faint glow shrouded him that moved together with the energy waves coming off of Zenith Mountain.
