Chapter 2857 - 577:

The cultivators of the Beastman Clan never imagined that so many of their experts would find themselves helpless against a single cultivator in the True Immortal Realm.

The main issue was that Cao Zhen was beyond just being fast.

If Cao Zhen were merely fast, the combined attacks of these cultivators would leave Cao Zhen with nowhere to dodge.

However, Cao Zhen directly altered the void, seemingly teleporting from one corner of the void to another in an instant.

As such, even their spells covering the entire void proved futile.

After all, Cao Zhen could suddenly appear beside them, and they couldn’t attack their own companions for no reason, especially since there were so many of them. Cao Zhen had plenty of targets to choose from, even if they turned against their companions.

And Cao Zhen’s sword was terrifying enough—to kill one of their comrades with a single strike upon appearance.

By the time they spotted Cao Zhen and tried to attack, he would have already shifted in another direction before their spells fell.

Even the treasures designed to trap cultivators were useless. To entrap someone, you first have to hit them, but they couldn’t land a hit on Cao Zhen, rendering the treasures impotent.

In the end, they had no choice but to retreat.

The entire True Immortal Realm of the Beastman Clan was driven away by a single cultivator, Cao Zhen—a humiliation for the entire Beastman race.

The other Skyeye Clan cultivators, initially shocked, were thoroughly numb by the end.

They couldn’t even imagine a cultivator reaching such power in the True Immortal Realm, let alone seeing or hearing of one.

So many Beastman Clan cultivators could do nothing against Cao Zhen, let alone face him one-on-one in the arena.

"So it seems that this time the True Immortal inheritance will likely fall into the hands of Cao Zhen."

"There’s no ’likely’ about it; with so many Beastman Clan members driven away by him alone, who could possibly oppose him?"

"So, will he become the first cultivator to receive the complete inheritance?"

"Who knows? Once he gains the complete inheritance, the Void Clan’s legacy might disappear, as is often the case when a complete legacy is acquired."

"Who knows? Regardless, he belongs to our Skyeye Clan, which is certainly better than the Beastman Clan getting nothing!"

"Speaking of which, why doesn’t Cao Zhen have a title?"

"Perhaps he’s been focused on cultivation, or maybe he already has a title but hasn’t announced it."

"Let’s get moving. Enough of watching; we still haven’t slain those tentacle creatures. We’ve waited in vain for too long; I should have seized the chance to break through a millennium ago."

Three days later.

Figures appeared outside the Void Clan’s legacy site.

Both the waiting Skyeye alien races and Beastman Clan cultivators quickly looked towards the Skyeye Clan figures, searching for a glimpse of Cao Zhen.

Soon enough, Cao Zhen appeared beside the members of the Indistinct Sect.

"Still alive!"

"Cao Zhen is still here!"

The cultivators of the Indistinct Sect looked at the emerging Cao Zhen with joyous expressions, knowing the Beastman Clan would likely target him.

Although they knew Cao Zhen possessed the Art of Transformation and that the Celestial Wheel Immortal Monarch had assured them, granting permission for Cao Zhen to participate, they still harbored concerns. Now, seeing Cao Zhen alive before them, they felt relieved.

Elsewhere, the faces of the Beastman Clan cultivators turned instantly sour.

"What’s the situation? Weren’t they supposed to target Cao Zhen? Weren’t they charged with ensuring Cao Zhen was killed in the Lesser Thousand World? How is he still alive?"

"We instructed them to use the Indistinct Sect members to force Cao Zhen to reveal himself. Wouldn’t he react to his sect members being in danger?"

"No, look over there; quite a few disciples from the Indistinct Sect have appeared."

"Could it be that they didn’t target the Indistinct Sect disciples?"

"Even if a few didn’t follow orders, surely not all of them would disobey us."

"What’s going on here? Why haven’t any of our clan’s cultivators returned?"

The dialogues among the top Beastman Clan members were interrupted as their True Immortal Realm cultivators began to gather.

The high-ranking leaders immediately began to question them.

"What’s the situation? Why didn’t you kill Cao Zhen? And why does the Indistinct Sect’s disciples look unscathed? What happened inside?"

The faces of the True Immortal Realm members fell as they heard their elders’ inquiries.

"Clan leader, it’s not that we didn’t try; we acted as soon as we entered the Lesser Thousand World."

"Clan leader, we did capture Indistinct Sect cultivators, and Cao Zhen rushed to show himself."

The True Immortal Realm cultivators had no good answers for the increasingly perplexed high ranks of the Beastman Clan: "You made a move, so how is it that Cao Zhen is still alive?"

"We couldn’t do anything against him."

"Indeed, Cao Zhen was too terrifying. None of our attacks could touch him."

"To put it bluntly, it wasn’t us hunting down Cao Zhen, but Cao Zhen who was chasing us."

"Cao Zhen, he..."
