Chapter 403 Pursuing the Great Treasure, Encountering the Zhongdu Military Guard

The distant roars and shouts continued to echo.

The two colossal figures grew smaller and smaller.

Until… the lingering sounds were faint, drowned out by the cheers of the residents of Wan Shou City.

"Let's go, Xiao Yang. Come sit at my place?" Wei Du said with a smile to Old Yang, who looked worried.

In fact, Old Yang wanted to chase after them to see.

But… he had also been injured by the shockwave from the giant beast's roar earlier.

Considering the strength Chu Tian had displayed.

Dealing with a crippled monster should not be a problem.

"Let's go, Xiao Du Du…"

The two men were nearly a hundred years apart in age.

Old Yang was over forty, while Wei Du was already over one hundred and twenty years old.

However, they were close friends, having known each other for a long time.

On Xuan Tian Star, ordinary people could easily live for one to two hundred years.

For powerhouses like them, reaching a hundred years old meant they were still in their prime youth.

The two giant beasts chased and fled from each other.

The Pincer-tailed Sand Badger King tried to burrow into the ground several times.

Each time, Chu Tian yanked it out by its tail.

"Damn it, where did you go, Old Yang?"

Chu Tian cursed as he pursued.

His transformation time was about to run out.

The creature fled desperately, and its speed was extreme.

Each stride covered thousands of meters, as if shrinking the ground.

In an instant, it covered dozens of miles. This was the advantage of a large physique.

As time ticked by, Chu Tian grew increasingly anxious.

Less than a minute remained on the transformation countdown.

"Big宝贝, don't run…"

Chu Tian continued to shout as he chased.

The Pincer-tailed Sand Badger Emperor merely fled silently, not replying to Chu Tian at all.

This thing clearly wanted to kill him.

It was demanding its beast core without any justification.

He maintained a fixed distance from the Pincer-tailed Sand Badger Emperor.

Even though the creature was crippled by his attacks and its charge skill cooled down several times, allowing it to catch up with its charging speed, Chu Tian could only land one blow before the other would flee again.

In the haste, he could not deliver a fatal blow.

Should he… give up?

To the south, a troop was encamped. A few minutes ago, they had been alerted by the sounds of booming and roaring.

"Reporting to the Army Commander, to the north, two kilometer-sized giant beasts are fighting."

"The one in front is a Pincer-tailed Sand Badger Emperor-class, a kilometer tall!"

"The one behind… the slightly shorter one, its species is unknown…"

Inside the military tent sat the Army Commander, the third son of the City Lord of Wei Du, Wei Jin.

He was the commander of the Zhong Du Army Guard, consisting of twenty thousand men.

Although they numbered only twenty thousand, the lowest standard for their soldiers was to be martial artists of the Earth Soul Realm.

Even the squad leaders of ten men had to reach the late stage of the Earth Soul Realm.

The captains of a hundred men were required to possess the strength of the early stage of the Heaven Soul Realm.

As for the captains of a thousand men, without the strength of the late stage of the Heaven Soul Realm, they could not assume their posts after going through layers of selection.

This Commander, only twenty-eight years old, was already a powerhouse of the Life and Death Realm.

He could be considered the greatest genius of the past thousand years, following Old Yang.

On Xuan Tian Star, martial artists were broadly divided into three stages.

The first stage: Yellow Soul Realm, Profound Soul Realm, Earth Soul Realm, Heaven Soul Realm.

The second stage: Samsara Realm, Life and Death Realm, Netherworld Realm, Nirvana Realm.

The third stage: War God Realm, Saint Body Realm, Void Breaking Realm.

Each realm had early, middle, and late stages.

After Chu Tian arrived here and learned about the realm divisions,

He found that this professional cultivation planet truly had its realms clearly defined.

Looking at Blue Star, where cultivation was impossible, even the divisions of realms varied.

You cultivate your way, I cultivate mine; the so-called martial artists were just strong men slightly more powerful than ordinary people.

The third stage here was also known as the Legendary stage.

And Old Yang was in the early stage of the War God Realm, having just entered the Legendary stage.

He was the first person in a thousand years to reach the War God Realm.

As for Saint Body and Void Breaking,

No one had reached them in tens of thousands of years.

And the man before them, the Commander of the Zhong Du Army Guard, Wei Jin.

He was a powerhouse in the early stage of the Life and Death Realm.

Compared to Old Yang, he was still a bit lacking.

Old Yang had reached the War God Realm at the age of thirty.

At twenty-eight, he had already reached the late stage of Nirvana, with one foot in the Legendary stage.

After hearing the report from his subordinate, Wei Jin frowned and pondered.

The rain had not stopped. Half an hour ago, the Pincer-tailed Sand Badgers had suddenly rioted.

They charged wildly towards the north.

Being far to the south, they could only see the backs of the Pincer-tailed Sand Badgers.

They were unaware that the riot of the Pincer-tailed Sand Badgers was an attack on Wan Shou City.

However, more than ten minutes ago, from a thousand miles away, they had seen the skyward flames in the north.

And the colossal tornadoes raging.

He had even seen his father unleash a powerful move like sealing the heavens and earth.

He had already made a guess in his heart.

He had long ordered his subordinates to be ready.

But unexpectedly, when he was about to leave, Wei Du had instructed him.

Not to return to Wan Shou City until the rain stopped.

This made him hesitate. This was definitely a move from the old man.

Perhaps even their Zhong Du Army Guard was a piece on the old man's chessboard.

Perhaps even a crucial part.

Would returning now disrupt the old man's arrangements?

Until a few minutes ago, when a scout reported that the giant beasts were heading in their direction.

"Form ranks…" Wei Jin gave the order.

Grasping the hilt of his sword at his waist, he stepped out of the military tent.

Gazing north, the two giant beasts tumbled and tore at each other on the sandy ground.

The shorter one, of unknown species, held a massive long spear.

It attacked the Pincer-tailed Sand Badger Emperor with all its might.

However, the latter was determined to escape and had no desire to fight.

The former wanted to kill it but couldn't.

"A demon beast… that uses weapons?" Wei Jin frowned.

"Prepare for battle…"

As he frowned, he noticed the path of the fleeing Pincer-tailed Sand Badger.

It was heading directly towards them.

He cursed under his breath. It was too late to dodge now.

Their speed was too fast, and their size meant a single claw could trample his camp.

Clang…

More than ten thousand men, who had already formed ranks, simultaneously drew the long sabers at their waists.

"Void Break Slash…"

Wei Jin also drew his long saber, let out a great roar, and assumed a starting stance with the saber held in both hands.

"Ha…" The men behind him, almost in unison, adopted the same posture.

Invisibly, these twenty thousand men seemed to merge into one in an instant.

The aura of each person was transmitted layer by layer through a central nexus, reaching Wei Jin at the forefront.

His aura did not change, and the saber in his hand, which had been trembling at first,

Finally vibrated at a high frequency, seemingly merging into the void, becoming transparent.

"Slash…"

Just as the Pincer-tailed Sand Badger Emperor was a few kilometers away from them.

Wei Jin roared.

He swung his long saber with force.

The men behind him were all drawn along, swinging their sabers simultaneously.

Boom…

A saber blade, thousands of meters long, pierced the sky and swung directly at the Pincer-tailed Sand Badger Emperor.

The sudden appearance of the semi-transparent blade startled Chu Tian.

The Pincer-tailed Sand Badger Emperor was even more startled.

"No…"

It roared and abruptly stopped, its tail tip flashing with an eerie light as it shot towards the giant blade.

Seeing this, Chu Tian's eyes lit up.

"Die… Azure Dragon's Might!"

From the colossal head of the Grey Throat's power, its huge eyes simultaneously flashed with blue light.

Roar…

A dragon's roar from ancient times echoed.

Clink…

The giant blade collided with the Pincer-tailed Sand Badger's tail.

However, at that moment, the thousand-meter-long giant beast's body stiffened.

The purple light on its tail dimmed.

Screech…

The thousand-meter giant blade descended from the sky.

With a sound like tearing leather.

"Roar… You damned reptiles!"

The Azure Dragon's Might lasted only an instant before the giant beast regained its senses.

With a flick of its tail, the giant blade was deflected, shaving off half of its tip.

Black and purple blood gushed out continuously.

It tilted its head back and roared…

"What are you roaring about!"

Gurgle…

The tip of a giant spear burst out from its chest.

Chu Tian's colossal form stood behind it.

Holding the shaft of the spear.

He violently lifted it and gave it a forceful twist.

Screeeech…

The thousand-meter giant beast's body was ripped open at the waist.

Roar…

A final scream was its last sound.

Chu Tian, excited, grabbed the tail on its rear half.

With a crack, he broke off the remaining half of the tail tip.

The Pincer-tailed Sand Badger Emperor, now lifeless, had its body strength reduced to ordinary levels.

Looking at the remaining half of the tail in his hand, Chu Tian thought: Would the blade have shattered the beast's core?

With that thought, he applied force.

Crack, and he broke open the tail.

A purple orb, the size of two basketballs, appeared before Chu Tian.
