I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory -
Chapter 388
In an instant, all four holy beasts are severely injured.
Yaoyao turns her head to look at the dumbfounded Li Tiancheng and asks blankly, “Grand-master, didn’t you say that these four holy beasts were not so simple and difficult to deal with? How come it looks so easy now…”
Li Tiancheng opens his mouth: “This… can only mean that His Majesty is too strong, stronger than we could imagine!”
Yaoyao turns her head, looking at the calm-faced Medusa Queen, and asks, “Sister Medusa, you seem to have no big reaction, as if you had expected all this?”
Mo Yuyan stands beside her, secretly pricking up her ears to listen.
Queen Medusa smiles slightly: “Yes, because His Majesty is much more formidable than what you see now! Defeating the Four Holy Beasts now is not a difficult task for him at all!”
“How strong is he?” Yaoyao presses on with another question, and Mo Yuyan steps forward slightly.
“How should I put it…”
Medusa falls into thought, and after a while, she says, “Let me put it this way: the strength you see now is just the tip of the iceberg! There are many things that he can do, but I cannot disclose them now. You will understand it in time!”
The crowd looks slightly disappointed, raising their heads to continue watching the intense battle.
At this moment, Lin Beifan pulls out the battered Azure Dragon from the East Sea, fiercely flinging it out, and once again struck White Tiger.
Then he grabs the dying Vermilion Bird and similarly smashes it down onto the White Tiger.
In this way, the Four Holy Beasts are gathered together.
Next, Lin Beifan stands in the void with a huge mountain appearing in his hand, which he then smashes down onto the Four Holy Beasts while protecting the Empire from the damage with his power.
“Boom”
The sky and earth collapsed, mountain ranges crumbled.
The Four Holy Beasts are torn and battered, their cries echoing throughout the world.
Lin Beifan turned a deaf ear, his hand conjuring another huge mountain, smashing it down again.
“Boom”
Rocks and earth collapsed, and once again, screams were heard.
Lin Beifan continued his assault.
The massive mountain in his hands never ceased, repeatedly smashing down one after another.
“Boom”
“Boom”
Not to mention the cries of the Four Holy Beasts, even the listeners felt their hearts and livers tremble.
Yaoyao covered her mouth: “This is too brutal!”
“It’s the first time I’ve realized that His Majesty fights so fiercely. Others use their fists, but he uses entire mountains! The Four Holy Beasts have thick skin and lots of blood, yet they can barely withstand it! I definitely couldn’t endure even a single hit!” Li Tiancheng said with lingering fear.
“That’s why we must never be enemies with His Majesty. The Four Holy Beasts are an example!” Master Painter said, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Gradually, the screams of the Four Holy Beasts grew weaker and weaker.
Until at last, they were almost inaudible.
Lin Beifan cleared away the thick layer of rocks and soil to see the devastated state of the Four Holy Beasts.
The word “miserable” could not even begin to describe the sight!
At this moment, the Azure Dragon’s scales were almost completely gone, its dragon bones broken into pieces, and even its horns were fractured, lying on the ground like a dead snake. (TLN: It’s a long snake-like Chinese dragon.)
The Black Tortoise’s shell was shattered. Its flesh inside was a bloody, unrecognizable mess.
The Vermilion Bird was also in a sorry state, resembling a drenched chicken stripped of its feathers, its bones broken into several pieces, unable to spit fire, its essence nearly depleted.
The most miserable was the White Tiger, who had endured the most attacks, looking like a dead cat.
However, despite such injuries, they were not dead.
They are the holy beasts of heaven and earth, cherished by the world.
As long as they are not completely annihilated, they will eventually recover.
So, Lin Beifan began to strip away their essence from their bodies.
Without their essence, it was impossible for them to recover.
With just a slight gesture, Lin Beifan could completely annihilate them right now.
However, Lin Beifan did not rush to act but instead asked, “Before I kill you, I have a question for you.”
The Four Holy Beasts said nothing, looking at Lin Beifan with despair in their eyes.
“You once said that heaven and earth created all things to nurture mankind and that mankind has nothing with which to repay heaven and earth. That’s why you wanted to harm the Supreme Grandmasters to return their fortunes to heaven and earth and maintain the balance of the world.”
Lin Beifan shook his head: “Honestly, I don’t believe such a dog excuse! Even if someone cultivates to the supreme realm, they cannot escape death. After their death, the essence of their life will naturally return to the heaven and earth, so there’s no need for you to worry about it! So now, can you give me a satisfactory and reasonable answer? I can grant you a swift end!”
Many Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters were paying close attention to this question.
After a while, the Azure Dragon coughed weakly and said, “We have our reasons for doing what we do! Do you know how many holy beasts there are in this world?”
“Isn’t it just the four of you?” Lin Beifan said.
“No, there were once five! Besides me, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird, there was also another holy beast, the Qilin!”
“Where did it go? Why is it not seen?”
The Azure Dragon sneered: “Dead! It’s not seen because he’s dead!”
“How did it die?” Lin Beifan asked again.
“It was killed by your human race! To be precise, it died at the hands of a Supreme Grandmaster of your human race!”
“Oh?” Lin Beifan and the others were shocked.
Azure Dragon’s gaze became distant as he seemed to drift into memories: “Ten thousand years ago, all five of us holy beasts were around! At that time, we did not hide away and maintained very close relationships with some of the supreme powerhouses among humans!”
“Our Elder Brother Qilin had befriended a strong human! That human reached the Supreme Grandmaster realm before the age of a hundred and ascended to the peak supreme before two hundred, just a step behind us! Although he pales in comparison to you, he is definitely the most dazzling talent we have ever seen among humans!”
Lin Beifan nodded slightly.
Indeed, a Supreme Grandmaster at the age of a hundred was a monstrous talent.
Without the Empire Sandbox cheat, he wouldn’t have had a chance to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him.
Azure Dragon continued, “At that time, he was wholly dedicated to martial pursuits, hoping to forge a new path forward, but in the end, he discovered that the world had its limits. He had reached the world’s limit and could not break through! However, true to his nature as a once-in-an-eternity dazzling talent, he actually found another method after decades of research!”
“What method?” Lin Beifan asked.
“The method is…”
Azure Dragon’s eyes were bloodshot, filled with hatred as he said, “…to strip the essence of us holy beasts and integrate it into himself! In doing so, he could achieve enlightenment in an unorthodox way and find a new path!”
“Is that so?” Lin Beifan was shocked, already having a bad feeling about what was to come.
Azure Dragon continued bitterly, “At that time, Elder Brother Qilin was close to him, so he set his sights on the Qilin! He resorted to underhanded tactics! Our Elder Brother, being of a pure and trusting nature, was caught off guard and fell victim to his treachery!”
“By the time we realized, it was too late! He had already killed Elder Brother, stripped him of his essence, and merged it into himself, attaining the realm of an Earthly Immortal! The concept of an Earthly Immortal started with him because his abilities were comparable to those of the immortals in the heavens, yet he remained on earth, hence the term Earthly Immortal!”
“What happened to that powerful human later?” Lin Beifan asked.
“Of course we killed him together!”
Vermilion Bird spat out a mouthful of blood, full of resentment, “He had just achieved the Earthly Immortal realm. His realm was unstable, and his strength had only increased so much, so we joined forces and killed him! But what did it matter? Our Elder Brother Qilin could never return!”
White Tiger and Black Tortoise sighed in sorrow.
