Chapter 872: Heaven and Earth Arena

Appearing in front of everyone this time were a large number of Chaos Star Beasts.

Dozens of Chaos Star Beasts were shaken out from underground by Lin Yuan, surrounding them completely.

The densely interwoven and entangled tentacles gave an unsettling, hair-raising sensation.

“Roar!”

“Roar! Roar!”

The Chaos Star Beasts emitted extremely strange roars, seemingly communicating with each other through these calls.

In this bizarre exchange of sounds, dozens of Chaos Star Beasts began launching a slow attack towards them.

Clearly, the prior judgment was correct.

The intelligence of these Chaos Star Beasts was not low, and they had the capability for cooperative group combat.

This was evident from their almost simultaneous advance, tightening the encirclement.

Lin Yuan looked at these Chaos Star Beasts, his expression heavy, as he instructed the surrounding Tier Two powerhouses: “Form teams of three to support each other. Kill as many as you can; if you can’t handle them, leave it to me.”

Apart from Lin Yuan, Peacock Great Ming King, and Nato, the remaining Tier Two powerhouses might not have the ability to kill the Chaos Star Beasts one-on-one.

Forming teams of three was the most reliable method, although it would slow the pace of killing Chaos Star Beasts, it would ensure minimal casualties.

Following Lin Yuan’s command, these Tier Two powerhouses quickly began forming teams, three people per team, and soon completed the formations.

After the teams of three were formed, only Lin Yuan, Peacock Great Ming King, and Nato remained.

If these three formed a team, they could definitely unleash immense fighting power.

However, there was no need for these three to form a team.

In this battle, Lin Yuan, Peacock Great Ming King, and Nato assumed the roles of firefighters and mobile units.

Wherever a problem arose, wherever someone couldn’t hold on, the three of them would immediately rush to support.

While the Chaos Star Beasts were tightening the encirclement, Lin Yuan had an important task to accomplish.

It must be noted that the number of Chaos Star Beasts far exceeded that of Lin Yuan’s group.

In such a situation, if a portion of the Chaos Star Beasts split off to hold back Lin Yuan’s group, while others escaped, Lin Yuan’s group wouldn’t be able to stop them.

Though, with the map given by Yin Celestial Son, no matter where the Chaos Star Beasts fled, Lin Yuan could still capture them.

That being said, if they let them escape and then had to hunt them down again, it would take a lot of effort.

If they could annihilate them all in one battle, why drag it out?

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan began chanting incantations and casting magic.

“Boom.”

“Boom, boom.”

As Lin Yuan cast his magic, the surroundings shook intensely, with colors of wind and clouds changing.

When Lin Yuan previously shook the Chaos Star Beasts out from underground, the ground only trembled slightly.

Now, the tremors induced by Lin Yuan’s magic were akin to those caused by earthquakes and landslides.

Under this earth-shaking sensation, even the Chaos Star Beasts narrowing the encirclement paused, their tentacles intertwined, steadied by their massive bodies, firm as Mount Tai.

Undoubtedly, the magic Lin Yuan cast this time invoked the Power of Heaven and Earth.

So, what was his purpose in invoking the Power of Heaven and Earth?

Along with Lin Yuan’s magic, the surrounding terrain began to change.

The terrain within a radius of a thousand miles transformed from rolling mountain ranges to a four-sided stone platform.

This is….

An arena?

As the mountain arena took shape, the drifting clouds in the sky also coalesced, forming a transparent bowl overturned on the arena.

In this way, the entire arena became a sealed small world, and unless Lin Yuan perished or opened it willingly, no one could exit this arena.

Such means were a formation barrier Lin Yuan created, inspired by the Returning Ruins Arena.

Lin Yuan named this formation barrier the Heaven and Earth Arena.

The Heaven and Earth Arena, bolstered by the Power of Heaven and Earth, could not be broken through by anyone below Tier One.

Even a Tier One powerhouse might not escape the Heaven and Earth Arena.

Because, with Lin Yuan clad in Human King Armor, holding the Human King Sword, and further empowered by the Power of Heaven and Earth, he could very well stand against a Tier One.

Now, with these Chaos Star Beasts trapped in the Heaven and Earth Arena, there was no possibility of them escaping.

As the Heaven and Earth Arena formed, the Human King Armor surfaced on Lin Yuan, and the Human King Sword appeared in his hand.

Lin Yuan pointed the Human King Sword at the Chaos Star Beasts, issuing a command: “Kill!”

“Annihilate these Chaos Star Beasts.”

Following Lin Yuan’s command, the first to act was still Nato.

As expected of the Vanguard Officer of the last Human King, Nato’s desire for battle was intensely strong.

Nato still displayed the Three Heads and Six Arms dharma body, wielding various magical treasures, and rushed into the Chaos Star Beast horde.

With speed far surpassing the Chaos Star Beasts, Nato could disrupt their teamwork upon entering their midst.

Compared to Nato, Peacock Great Ming King was much more composed in his strikes.

His Five-Colored Divine Light could strike a Chaos Star Beast away with a single blow.

Of course, slaying a Chaos Star Beast with one hit was impossible.

With a thought, Peacock Great Ming King turned the Five-Colored Divine Light into Five Elements Divine Swords, launching them in all directions, severing the tentacles of many Chaos Star Beasts.

Nato and Peacock Great Ming King both had very clear combat awareness.

They did not aim to kill the Chaos Star Beasts outright, but to diminish their fighting capacity.

Whether Nato was disrupting the team coordination of Chaos Star Beasts within their horde, or Peacock Great Ming King severing the tentacles of the Chaos Star Beasts, they both targeted this purpose.

If Nato and Peacock Great Ming King engaged one-on-one, with some effort, they could indeed handle a Chaos Star Beast.

However, this would mean two Chaos Star Beasts would be enough to occupy their strongest forces.

In this way, the pressure on the other groups of three would increase significantly.

With the current strategy, Nato and Peacock Great Ming King rapidly reduced the combat capabilities of many Chaos Star Beasts, although not causing their deaths, greatly eased the burden on the remaining groups of three.

The Tier Two powerhouses under Lin Yuan, handling one Chaos Star Beast in a group of three was already quite manageable.

Now, with the Chaos Star Beasts weakened by Nato and Peacock Great Ming King, dealing with them was even easier.

Looking at the current battle situation, with groups of three, they could resolve the Chaos Star Beasts within thirty minutes without casualties.

It is known that the number of Tier Two Chaos Star Beasts is terrifyingly large, seemingly infinite.

Attrition warfare was something Luo Hou favored.

Lin Yuan had no interest in attrition warfare.

Thus, ensuring the safety of his personnel was the most crucial task in this battle.

As the saying goes, “Preserve the ground and lose the people, both land and people are lost.”

“Preserve the people and lose the ground, both people and land remain.”
