Chapter 746: Sky Quake Overlord
“Impossible!” The Brute Force Overlord howled.
Previously, he was still able to suppress Li Fuchen, but why was he getting suppressed by Li Fuchen now?
Could an impromptu breakthrough increase so much strength?
“Is always good to respond in kind. Brute Force Overlord, you should also try the taste of getting beaten up.”
The red fists were like comets, no, even scarier than comets. They contained the qi presence of destruction and it felt like they could make everything disintegrate.
Bang Bang Bang Bang…
The Brute Force Overlord had patches of wounds on its body. The wounds weren’t fatal but it was still exhausting the vitality.
The most terrifying thing was how Li Fuchen’s qi power was still recovering during combat.
Previously, it was left with 15%, now it was already 20%.
Li Fuchen didn’t understand the logic either. He merely knew that the calamity power that fused into the Hand of Star’s qi power was related to the great dao law.
Bang!
The ma.s.sive figure was sent flying backwards and smashed down a mountain.
The Brute Force Overlord was in a pathetic state. He never imagined he would be beaten up into this state by a great emperor. His opponent was simply terrifying.
“Sky Demonic Tyrant Body!”
As bloodline power was getting consumed rapidly, the Brute Force Overlord’s body was covered in a layer of yellow light.
The yellow light was like an absolute field that isolated the Brute Force Overlord from the outside world.
Clang!
When Li Fuchen’s fist smashed on the yellow light, it merely shook a little.
“Mm?” Li Fuchen’s eyes contracted.
The yellow light was actually able to isolate laws as his fist’s law had been isolated.
“You forced me to use this.”
The Brute Force Overlord produced a yellow claw image to rip out a blood wound on Li Fuchen’s body.
“It seems like I still underestimated a low-tier overlord.” Li Fuchen took a deep breath.
Li Fuchen originally thought that the Brute Force Overlord was already fighting at full strength, who would have expected a stronger trump.
It was imaginable how powerful the Sword Emperor was to be able to fight an entire day with a low-tier demonic beast overlord.
Of course, low-tier demonic beast overlords had their strengths and weaknesses too. If it was a tyrant beast, even the Sword Emperor wouldn’t be a match. After all, a tyrant beast which was a low-tier demonic beast overlord would be comparable with a low-level saint.
(TL note: I’m changing overlord beasts to tyrant beasts, because it is hard to differentiate them between demonic beast overlords. E.g. The Thunder Beast is a tyrant beast)
Apart from that, regular low-tier demonic beast overlords had differences in strength which couldn’t even be compared.
Eight hours… Ten hours…
A glimmer of dawn could be seen at the horizon, it was time for the sun to rise.
Li Fuchen could feel that the darkness law in the world was receding like the tide. The Brute Force Overlord’s strength was also obviously declining.
“No, you have to die!”
The Brute Force Overlord was unwilling to accept this outcome as it was attacking frantically.
Once the sun was up, his strength would decline by slightly over 10%. It might not be much, but the strength difference between him and Li Fuchen wasn’t huge and was roughly around 1%. Therefore, 10% was already enough to affect the outcome of the battle.
If he couldn’t kill Li Fuchen this time, it wouldn’t be that easy to find Li Fuchen again. He must stall until the Sky Quake Overlord was here.
“The sun is rising.” The Barbaric Peak Great Emperor was delighted.
This night was simply filled with twists and turns. Firstly, Li Fuchen was forced into a desperate situation, then he had a breakthrough which allowed him to suppress the Brute Force Overlord. The Brute Force Overlord then revealed its trump card, allowing it to fight evenly with Li Fuchen again. The Barbaric Peak Great Emperor’s emotions were constantly going up and down.
“Sky Demonic Breath!”
The bloodline power was getting permanently burned as the Brute Force Overlord opened its mouth to spit out thick yellow flames at Li Fuchen.
Li Fuchen could see that the Brute Force Overlord was risking his life.
It seemed like the Sky Trample Great Ruler’s father, the Sky Quake Overlord was a terrifying existence. Otherwise, the Brute Force Overlord wouldn’t have to be so desperate.
Li Fuchen burst out a red fist to scatter the yellow flames, however, a few drops of yellow flames still landed on his body.
Tss Tss Tss!
The law field was instantly burned through and Li Fuchen’s body had a few pits.
Li Fuchen made a prompt decision to dig up the flesh around the pits.
After taking a cold breath, Li Fuchen had lingering fears.
If the Brute Force Overlord did this at the start, Li Fuchen might not have survived.
After spitting the yellow flames, the Brute Force Overlord’s qi presence was withered. He said in a stern voice, “Human, surrender to the Sky Quake Overlord now while you have the chance, otherwise, the Sky Quake Overlord will take revenge on the entire human race.”
Li Fuchen’s expression changed. If this was true, more people were going to have miserable deaths.
He didn’t wish to implicate more people because he rescued a town.
But was he going to watch as the demonic beasts ravaged the town?
For a moment, Li Fuchen’s emotions were intensified. But he calmed down soon enough.
Everything was destined in this world and he could get involved with everything or change everyone’s fate. He could only save whoever he could see. The Sky Quake Overlord could take revenge by ma.s.sacring the human race, but there would be a day where Li Fuchen would kill him as revenge for the innocent people.
“I will take revenge for them.” Li Fuchen said indifferently.
“Cold blooded. Are you going to watch the humans get slaughtered because of you? If they knew this, they would hate you.”
The Brute Force Overlord was still trying to waver Li Fuchen’s heart, he wasn’t willing to retreat from this battle like this.
“Since you don’t wish to go, then stay.”
Li Fuchen circulated his mortal qi power to the extremity while the Brute Force Overlord’s qi presence withered. A single fist made the Brute Force Overlord take several steps back while the yellow light flickered.
“d.a.m.n it.”
The Brute Force Overlord had expended huge amounts of bloodline power and couldn’t maintain his prime combat strength. If he continued fighting, he might just be beaten to death by Li Fuchen.
With both thigh muscles expanding, the Brute Force Overlord crouched down and sprang up. He was launched out like an arrow and quickly vanished into the darkness.
The light at the horizon gradually overwhelmed the darkness. Soon enough, Li Fuchen and the airship were basking in the sunlight.
When taking a glance, the area within a few thousand miles was in a mess. There were places with broken layers, some places were already like deserts where the soil had been broken down into sand. Towns a few thousand miles away had collapsed and there were stains of blood.
Li Fuchen returned to the town and asked everyone to leave. He didn’t know if the Sky Quake Overlord would take revenge, but he didn’t bother. This town had already lost the protection of the array and couldn’t resist any demonic beast attacks. Staying here would only mean to wait for death.
The migration started as everyone brought their families along as they rushed for the nearest town like a black stream of river.
Li Fuchen was escorting them from the sky.
On the next afternoon, the group arrived at the nearest town.
However, it was obvious that this town couldn’t receive so many people. It was already good enough to take in 10% of the group.
Li Fuchen had no choice but to continue the escort as they headed for other towns.
Just like that, half a month later, Li Fuchen managed to help everyone settle in their new places.
“I have done my best.” Li Fuchen looked up to the sky and said to himself.
***
Night descended again.
A furious figure emerged in the world.
The Sky Quake Overlord was a fierce-looking middle-aged man. His head had two horns that were half a meter long, making him look intimidating and fearsome.
“Lord Sky Quake, I have already done my best, but that person is too powerful. I am unable to kill him.” The Brute Force Overlord said while trembling.
“Useless.”
The Sky Quake Overlord waved his hand and sent the Brute Force Overlord flying while vomiting fresh blood.
“My son, I will definitely rip the person that murdered you into thousands of pieces. But before that, I will collect some interest first.”
While speaking, the Sky Quake Overlord flew towards a town.
The Sky Quake Overlord had speed that was simply like an instant shift. It arrived in front of the town in just a short moment.
The town was around 80 miles in radius and had a population of 10 million.
“Extinguish!”
A giant palm descended and smashed the town into dust.
No one inside the town survived.
After a grunt, the Sky Quake Overlord flew to the next town.
Within a day, the Sky Quake Overlord eliminated close to 100 towns and killed billions of humans.
Finally, the Sky Quake Overlord arrived at a city.
The city had the protection of a cla.s.s 9 low-tier array. Not even ten low-tier demonic beast overlords could destroy a cla.s.s 9 low-tier array. Only low-level saints could do so.
However, the Sky Quake Overlord wasn’t a low-tier demonic beast overlord, a breath from him was enough to kill regular low-tier demonic beast overlords.
“Humans, my son has been killed. You people shall be a tribute to him.”
A terrifying voice echoed throughout the city.
Rumble!
Immediately after, a disaster arrived. A giant palm smashed through the array before smashing down at the center of the city.
At the center of the city, there was a giant palm print that was 1000 miles in size. Everything under the palm was disintegrated. The surrounding buildings and humans were also turned into dust by the shockwave.
A single palm had eradicated an entire city.
A single day was too short, therefore, the news had yet to spread out.
The Sky Quake Overlord continued the ma.s.sacre. In just a few days, he destroyed hundreds of thousands and several cities. This was when the towns were far from each other. If the distance between towns were nearer, he would have destroyed even more.
But this large scale ma.s.sacre still attracted a human saint.
It was a mid-level saint with long hair.
The saint said in a stern voice, “Sky Quake Overlord, my human race has never offended your demonic beast race. Why are you slaughtering my human race and my cities?”
Among the cities destroyed, one of them belonged to the saint’s clan.
“My son has been killed by you humans. If I don’t take revenge, how can I, the Sky Quake Overlord, still stand straight on the Saint Spirit Continent?!” The Sky Quake Overlord’s voice was loud like thunder.
“What? Your son has been killed?” The long-haired saint had an awful expression.
The Sky Quake Overlord was a mid-tier tyrant beast and was far stronger than a mid-tier demonic beast overlord and was comparable with high-tier demonic beast overlords. The long-haired saint alone wouldn’t be able to stop the Sky Quake Overlord with force, he could only use persuasion.
“You should go find the person that killed your son, why are you involving these innocent people?” The long-haired saint stated.
“Get lost!”
The Sky Quake Overlord couldn’t be bothered to waste words with the long-haired saint, as he sent the saint flying with a palm strike.
The ma.s.sacre continued. Without a choice, the long-haired saint contacted the other saints, including a high-level saint.
Finally, one week later, a high-level saint appeared and severely injured the Sky Quake Overlord.
At this moment, there was an immeasurable casualty count of the humans. Compared to the population of the Saint Spirit Continent, such a death count was just a minor problem, but it was still considered a disaster.
Due to the rage, humans started to exterminate the demonic beasts too. Killing off large groups of demonic beasts. There were many places that didn’t have a single demonic beast even at night, as they had been totally eliminated.
It was said that a high-tier demonic beast overlord and high-level saint appeared before this matter was settled.
When Li Fuchen obtained the news, it was already several days later. He had an ashen expression as he didn’t expect that by saving one town, a thousand more towns were implicated. He reckoned that the people he rescued were also killed too.
There wasn’t any meaning to be regretful as he didn’t have a choice back then.
It wasn’t possible for him to watch as the demonic beasts slaughtered the humans.
It wasn’t possible for him to spare the demonic beasts after they already commited the crimes.
Was he going to allow the demonic beasts to continue the devastation just because he was afraid of them taking revenge? What logic was that?
Even if he didn’t kill the Sky Trample Great Ruler, the latter would continue to consume humans from other towns. With the support of the Sky Quake Overlord, the Sky Trample Great Ruler might have consumed more humans over the years than the Sky Quake Overlord had killed. This was a vicious cycle as the evildoers would only get worse and the crimes would get more ruthless.
Li Fuchen only hoped that this incident would make the demonic beasts more reserved, unlike how they devoured humans as they pleased like before.
“Sky Quake Overlord huh?”
Li Fuchen remembered this name. He vowed that he would personally kill the Sky Quake Overlord one day.
No, killing the Sky Quake Overlord wasn’t enough. He wanted to change the entire situation of the Saint Spirit Continent.
The Sky Quake Overlord was so overbearing because the demonic beast race was evenly matched with the human race. If the demonic beast race was weaker, the Sky Quake Overlord would have been vanquished after going on such a rampage.
In order to change the situation of the Saint Spirit Continent, he had to become the strongest individual in the entire Saint Spirit Continent.
