Chapter 2707: A Clash between the Powerful (Three)

As a result, the Life-devouring Beast’s unique suction force affected Jian Chen to a certain degree.

“With my current level of cultivation, I can kill Sixth Heavenly layer Infinite Primes even without the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways. However, if I come across a Sixth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime Life-devouring Beast, the one to suffer defeat will probably be me,” thought Jian Chen.

Prior to this, the strongest Life-devouring Beasts he had encountered was only peak Godking. To Jian Chen, who had comprehended the Ultimate Way of the Sword, Godkings were no different from ants no matter how extraordinary they were. Once he used the will of the Ultimate Way of the Sword, he could kill them in a split second.

As a result, he had failed to properly recognise the strength of Life-devouring Beasts before. Only now when he faced a Primordial realm Life-devouring Beast did he understand just how troublesome they were.

A mere Third Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime Life-devouring Beast required him to use his full strength to keep his life force under control. If he fought a Fourth or Fifth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime Life-devouring Beast instead, would he still be able to keep his life force from leaking away?

Once he lost control of his life force, it would leak away as he fought. Even with the tremendous life force as a Primordial realm expert, he still would not be able to endure it once the battle became drawn out.

Moreover, Life-devouring Beasts rapidly grew in strength as they devoured life force. As time went on, they would become even more troublesome.

“Infinite Prime is already the highest realm of cultivation in this world. There shouldn’t be a lot of people who have successfully killed an Infinite Prime Life-devouring Beast. If I kill the one before me and take its corpse back to the Saints’ World, it should be extremely precious.” Jian Chen’s eyes gradually lit up as he stared at the Life-devouring Beast that launched attacks furiously. His eyes shone brighter and brighter as he began to think about the possibilities.

He had already heard about how the remains of Life-devouring Beasts were a fantastic material for refining pills. It only needed to be added during the refining process to increase the effects of pills drastically, making them even more effective.

The Tian Yuan clan had already developed to a certain degree now. They had begun to erect something for refining pills as well. It was likely that in the future, a large amount of God Tier pills would flow out of the Tian Yuan clan, so the remains that could strengthen the effects of pills would be a needed item.

When he thought of that, Jian Chen’s eyes suddenly shone with cold killing intent. Originally, he did not plan on killing the Life-devouring Beast. He only wanted to keep it at bay so that it could not pose any threat to the group.

Now, after realising the value of the beast, he immediately changed his mind.

Booms constantly rang out in the forest. Powerful pulses of energy wreaked havoc in the surroundings, flattening all the land within several hundred kilometres. All of the vegetation had either been uprooted by the pulses of energy and blown away or annihilated by the terrifying storms of energy.

Pits appeared in the ground one after another as countless cracks criss-crossed the earth, forming web-like ravines.

This was all created by the Life-devouring Beast. Its every single strike possessed tremendous might, enough to shake the earth. A swing of its paws would result in a huge pit. The collision of its tail whipping against the ground would result in a chasm several dozen kilometres length.

The entire forest was reduced to a mess by its violent attacks. It no longer resembled the past anymore. Countless Life-devouring Beasts fled for their lives.

Hundreds of kilometres away, the eagle that Jian Chen had tamed flapped its wings wildly as well. Its eyes were filled with shock, fleeing for its life as if it were stricken with fear.

On the battlefield, Jian Chen would flicker about. With each flash, he seemed to have teleported to a different location, calmly and easily dodging the Life-devouring Beast’s attacks.

With his current strength, combined with the Laws of Space, he could endure a lifetime’s worth of attacks from the Life-devouring Beast and not have it touch his clothes if he wanted.

Crack!

There was an explosion in the air, and a shadow ripped through the air, whipping towards Jian Chen with lightning speed.

It was the tail of the Life-devouring Beast. The tail spanned several dozens metres in length and flickered with energy. It instantly elongated to over a thousand metres in length when it swung over.

Jian Chen did not worry about such an attack. He had dodged many attacks like that before.

However, he did not dodge like before this time. Instead, he hovered in the air with his head held high and a hand behind his back. His eyes swelled with killing intent.

Just as the tail was about to land on him, he suddenly waved his right hand.

All of a sudden, there was a flash of blinding white light that transformed into a huge strand of sword Qi. Shining with a dazzling glow, it directly chopped towards the incoming tail.

The sword Qi moved extremely quickly; it was to the point where it was indescribable. It seemed to have broken the laws of the world, flashing past the tail with lightning speed.

The huge, powerful tail of the Life-devouring Beast seemed as weak as paper before it. When the sword Qi swept past, the tail was severed.

A huge part of the tail directly fell down. It was two to three hundred metres in length and several metres wide. It collapsed onto the ground like a part of a city’s wall.

The tail was a part of the Life-devouring Beast’s flesh. It was the treasure that many of the prodigies had desired but lacked the ability to retrieve.

Now, it had just been cut off so easily by Jian Chen, laying on the ground quietly.

A Space Ring immediately flew out from Jian Chen’s hand, allowing him to collect the tail.

The flesh of a Primordial realm Life-devouring Beast was worth far more than the flesh of Godhood Life-devouring Beasts. He could not afford to waste a single part of it.

To the other side of the battlefield, the Life-devouring Beast howled in agony after its tail was cut off. Its voice was deep but filled with a sense of madness from the pain.

Not only did the injury fail to strike any fear into its heart, but it had even roused its bestial nature instead. It made it even more crazy and even more bloodthirsty.

It let out a tremendous roar and revealed its sharp canines, biting towards Jian Chen.

At the same time, its life force began to churn. The severed tail grew back at a visible but slow rate.

Jian Chen used his finger as a sword, and a strand of sword Qi shot out. Like a streak of light, it directly shot into the Life-devouring Beast’s mouth and pierced its entire body, leaving behind a fist-sized hole.

Such a wound would be rather heavy to cultivators, but it was basically nothing to the Primordial realm Life-devouring Beast thanks to its tremendous life force. It was not even enough to scratch an itch.

It made a full recover very quickly with its tremendous life force.

Even Jian Chen’s Chaotic Body paled in comparison in terms of regeneration.

“What powerful vitality. It has reached an extremely astounding level.” Even Jian Chen could not help but exclaim. However, he was not surprised, as he knew that the Two World Mountains, along with all the Life-devouring Beasts here, were basically created by the Grand Exalt of the Wood Spirits.

“I won’t be able to kill this Primordial realm Life-devouring Beast as easily as those Godhood Life-devouring Beasts. I can’t sever its life force with a single strike. I have to overwhelm it completely and slice it into pieces faster than it can regenerate. After that, I need to seal up its remains one by one. Only then can I kill it,” Jian Chen thought. Although depleting all of the Life-devouring Beast’s life force would also kill it, the value of these Life-devouring Beasts was in their pure and tremendous life force.

Once all of their life force was depleted, their remains would just become a husk, and their value would plummet as a result.
