Chapter 271: Ultimate Powerhouses
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
All G.o.d-grade powerhouses existed within the same tier. However, there were only three ultimate powerhouses widely known to the public.
The Martial G.o.d, Murat, and Unrivalled Warrior Johann…
Freedom Saint Luxi, who ranked fourth, was a telekinesis user who guarded the Free Cities. The Thundering Wizard G.o.d, who oversaw Nan’w.a.n.g City and ranked fifth, was an ultimate powerhouse adept in both forms of cultivation, just like Luo Yunyang.
They each guarded one of the five large intersections and fought the top Dark-Grade source beasts inside the intersections. Thus, it was usually very difficult for any of them to leave their domain for long periods of time.
When Zhuge Yi turned on the screen, he saw a gigantic tail at least 300 meters long rapidly strike the sky.
The tail belonged to a ferocious black tiger as tall as a mountain. Murat was waving her axe below the gigantic tail frantically.
Practically each time the axe struck, a b.l.o.o.d.y trace was left on the tail of the black tiger. However, each time the giant tail descended again, those b.l.o.o.d.y traces had vanished.
This was a top Dark-Grade source beast called a Divine Black Sky Tiger!
Although the battle between the two seemed ruthless, Jin Zaitian and the others could actually infer that the Divine Black Sky Tiger had only one objective—stalling Murat.
An intersection was more important than a dimensional fracture, so the moment a problem appeared at an intersection, the number of dire beasts and source beasts that came rus.h.i.+ng in would be way bigger.
At the Free Cities intersection, which was 500 kilometers away from the Free Cities, Saint Luxi was controlling a huge sword while battling a huge ape.
Although they were seperated by the intersection, their battle was as crazy as wildfire. Every single strike seemed to make the sky shudder.
“That’s a Sky-Ripping Divine Ape!”
The scene cut to the Thundering Wizard G.o.d, who was also in battle. The Thundering Wizard G.o.d’s entire body seemed to be dyed black. Meanwhile, he clutched a white skull staff in one hand and a jet black spear in the other. His opponent was a ma.s.sive body hidden at the other side of the intersection. It was a gigantic golden eagle able to create whirlwinds by flapping its wings.
Although it didn’t seem like they were locked in a deadly battle, they still…
Finally, the screen cut to the intersection Johann was guarding. Even though Johann wasn’t currently locked in battle, a colossal ant s.h.i.+ning with a golden l.u.s.ter was staring fixedly at him through the s.p.a.ce barrier.
When Jin Zaitian finished viewing all these scenes, he seemed even more downcast. He immediately turned his doubtful gaze to Zhuge Yi.
“Vice-Chairman, the ant standing off against Juhann is a top Yellow-Grade source beast. According to our deduction, the Golden Queen Ant has already reached the top Dark Garde and is currently going through its sp.a.w.ning period,” Zhuge Yi, who understood what Jin Zaitian meant, said.
As Jin Zaitian pondered this for a bit, the screen cut to the scene outside Jin’fu City once again. Countless dire beasts covered both the sky and the land. Although the forces of the eight armies gathered there were unleas.h.i.+ng all their firepower, they were simply unable to stop the tide.
“We have to rush, Brothers. We need an hour so that the women and children behind us can safely escape from Jin’fu City!” a martialist with a resolute expression roared loudly as he brandished his blades.
The over 100 martialists looked just like daggers charging against the tide of dire beasts. They gathered as one in their maniacal charge and sliced apart dire beast after dire beast with their swords and blades.
However, in the end, those valiant heroes were drowned by the powerful flood of dire beasts.
“We must think of a way to seal the crack at the Sky Scar Stronghold, Vice-Chairman. Otherwise, as an influx of dire beasts is added to the dire beasts already around, our satellite cities will be overrun and the consequences will be unimaginable…”
Although Zhuge Yi stopped speaking, he believed that Jin Zaitian would understand what he was suggesting.
“Put me through to Johann. I don’t care what the conditions are, just let me speak with him!” Jin Zaitian said.
Zhuge Yi nodded. He quickly got his men to make the call. However, the voice that rang out wasn’t Johann’s. It was actually a rather thunderous sound. “Jin Zaitian, I know that you need to save the residents of Jin’fu City, but we have lives to save over at Mei’ya City as well! You must have probably noticed the intellect of these source beasts. If Sir Johann leaves right now, the intersection will fall instead! If you try to nag Sir Johann again, I will complain to the Chairman!”
As soon as he stopped snarling like crazy, the other party ended the call. Jin Zaitian had a disappointed look on his face.
“Mobilize as many G.o.d-grade powerhouses that can move and stop the Primordial Diabolical Bull as you can! It would be best if we banished it from the crack.”
Jin Zaitian’s order was executed very quickly. Although most of the G.o.d-grade powerhouses of the Collective G.o.d Union were overseeing dimensional fractures, the 13 Eastern Cities were able to employ various methods and send five G.o.d-grade powerhouses to the Sky Scar Stronghold.
The 13 Eastern Cities suddenly filled with hope.
However, a short while later, when three of those G.o.d-grade powerhouses withdrew due to injuries, this hope turned to despair.
The Primordial Diabolical Bull was too strong. Its horns could detach from its body and strike, so when it attacked by using them, two G.o.d-grade powerhouses were killed right away.
As far as the other three were concerned, although they had managed to land strikes on the Primordial Diabolical Bull, they had still been unable to break through the bull’s unyielding defence.
The dimensional fracture kept expanding, while the Primordial Diabolical Bull was like a giant mountain in the sky that cast a shadow over the people of the entire Da Alliance.
“Taboo weapons!”
By now, even the most cool-headed people had started calling for taboo weapons. Although their destructive force was two-way, more and more dire beasts were entering the crack the Primordial Diabolical Bull had widened.
According to the stipulations of the Da Alliance, using taboo weapons required the approval of the Da Alliance’s legislative a.s.sembly. However, Jin Zaitian, who didn’t care much right now, gave the order immediately.
Even more powerful taboo weapons than the ones the Unrivalled Fleet had used against Luo Yunyang roared towards the void. As the taboo weapons rose into the sky, the Primordial Diabolical Bull seemed to sense something and suddenly retreated frantically into the dimensional fracture.
Explosions lit up the sky like fireworks as the taboo weapons made the crack that led to the starry abyss become even wider.
As soon as the taboo weapons were used, the Primordial Diabolical Bull stood up in the void and glared coldly.
Jin Zaitian, Zhuge Yi, Lu Qubing and the other strong fighters of the 13 Eastern Cities all had dim expressions on their faces. They had already sensed the pressure on their shoulders. It was so heavy that…
“Withdraw from Jin’fu City!” someone finally suggested in order to resolve this situation. However, this method would be really painful.
Jin Zaitian waved his hands dejectedly. “Withdraw? How do we withdraw?”
As soon as he said this, the screen in the command center showed an image of Jin’fu City once again.
Even though the huge city looked like an enormous steel beast, it had already been surrounded by huge beasts from all directions.
Jin’fu City had become a dead zone!
