Chapter 2887 - 2888: Innate Divine Ability

Chapter 2887: Chapter 2888: Innate Divine Ability

It turned out that as soon as the news of Ye Luo’s disappearance spread, those Sects immediately began to move.

First they sent some death warriors to probe, but without exception, every one of them was infected by that strange energy! A few were even annihilated on the spot!

After that, those Sects quieted down a bit.

Yet just when Wudang thought those Sects had given up, they actually started acting again.

This time, what they sent weren’t people, but Spirit Beasts—or rather Ferocious Beasts. Among the Great Sects, raising some Spirit Beasts was the most normal thing in the world.

Moreover, most of these Spirit Beasts had already awakened Spiritual Intelligence, only the Sects used special methods to control them, turning them into mounts for Cultivators and guardians of the mountain gates!

And this time, dozens of Ferocious Beasts came to besiege Wudang.

Of course, it was still a probing attack. These Spirit Beasts basically all possessed Earth Martial Realm strength, and with their thick hide and flesh, even Heavenly Martial Realm Disciples couldn’t hurt them!

However, there were only dozens of them after all. Once a few were slain by the Elders, the rest scattered and fled.

But the few Elders of Wudang started to worry.

Obviously, those Spirit Beasts’ ability to resist that strange energy was far stronger than that of Cultivators, and the Beasts’ life force was inherently vigorous. For that strange energy to backlash against a Spirit Beast’s flesh would take a much longer time.

"Those Spirit Beasts have limited cultivation. The Earth Martial Realm is probably already their limit. With our people, blocking them for a while shouldn’t be a problem!" Qiong Yao said calmly after hearing this.

Though she and those Generals behind her were already injured, they were still at Martial King Realm strength. Crushing those Earth Martial Realm Ferocious Beasts was no big deal.

"Fairy, you may not know. It’s said they’ve bred descendants of Ancient Spirit Beasts, whose cultivation has probably reached the Heavenly Martial Realm or even higher! I fear Wudang is in serious trouble this time!" Xiao Wu said bitterly.

Originally, in this world, for Spirit Beasts to cultivate to the Earth Martial Realm was already considered the limit. Because of their bloodline, stepping into the Heavenly Martial Realm was harder than ascending to the heavens!

Only those Demon Beasts with heaven-defying luck would step into this realm—but they usually hid themselves away, because their cultivation was not acknowledged by the Heavenly Dao. Once their aura leaked out, they would face the risk of triggering heavenly tribulation.

But the descendants of Ancient Spirit Beasts were a different case entirely. Ancient Spirit Beast blood flowed in their veins; even cultivating to the Martial King Realm, or even the Martial Emperor Realm, would be nothing surprising.

Precisely because of this, the descendants of these Spirit Beasts were regarded by Cultivators as a separate race, not lumped together with ordinary Spirit Beasts.

"If that’s the case, then things are bad. I once led my men and encountered that lineage of Ancient Spirit Beast descendants. They were truly formidable. Even against Heavenly Martial Realm cultivation, all we could do was take a beating. Just relying on our Strength, I fear we’ll find it hard to break their defense!" the old General suddenly said.

Hearing this, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

It seemed the strength of those Ancient Spirit Beast descendants was even beyond their imagination.

"Set that aside for now. At the moment, Fairy and you Generals should focus on healing your injuries! When soldiers come, we send Generals to block; this is all we can do now!" the Vice Sect Leader finally spoke.

With Ye Luo absent, Qiong Yao’s prestige was very high, but matters of the Wudang Sect still had to be decided by this Vice Sect Leader.

Just as everyone turned around, the distant mountain range suddenly kicked up clouds of dust, and then a large number of Ferocious Beasts came charging over, letting out deafening roars.

This momentum turned the faces of the Wudang Sect Disciples pale.

There were at least a hundred of these Ferocious Beasts!

And above them, quite a few Cultivators stood in midair, wearing all kinds of clothes—clearly, this was more than one or two Sects.

It seemed these Sects had long had designs on Wudang, and had only held back because of Ye Luo’s relationship with the King of Huainan.

"Damn, they’re here!" Xiao Wu said, his face somewhat ashen.

The Generals behind Qiong Yao, however, showed no change in expression. Truly warriors who had fought on battlefields half their lives—even wounded, that aura of theirs was not something ordinary people could compare to.

"Form the Formation!"

At this moment, the Vice Sect Leader roared. Only then did the Disciples come to their senses, hurriedly seeking out their positions. Clearly, they had drilled this countless times beforehand.

Around this desperate ground, several Formations slowly began to run. A few of these Formations had even been personally constructed by Ye Luo; their power was indeed not weak.

Just as the Formations activated, those Ferocious Beasts rushed up to them, one after another ferociously slamming into the barrier.

Clearly, these Formations were purely defensive and had no real killing power.

Even so, they managed to block this first wave of Ferocious Beast assault. Just this kind of Formation was enough to shock those Great Sects.

You had to know, these hundred-plus Ferocious Beasts were no joke!

At this moment, the gaze of Qiong Yao and the other top experts was not on the Ferocious Beasts, but on the sky. At the forefront of the various Sect Cultivators stood three figures. Although they looked like the Human Race, the bloodthirsty aura and savage pressure radiating from them clearly told the other Cultivators they were absolutely not human!

"They’re Ancient Spirit Beast descendants!" Xiao Wu couldn’t help crying out.

In truth, Qiong Yao and the others had long guessed the identities of those three.

Suddenly, one of them let out a bizarre laugh and slammed a punch toward the Formation.

But when the surrounding Cultivators saw that punch, they all frowned.

The Strength of that punch was very ordinary, in fact it was only on the level of the Earth Martial Realm. Even if it was stronger than a soldier’s punch, it was only a bit stronger.

You had to remember, these were descendants of Ancient Spirit Beasts! And their cultivation, at the very least, was high-rank Heavenly Martial Realm. Their physical Strength should have been incomparably terrifying.

"No—their Innate Divine Ability!" the old General suddenly shouted.

Qiong Yao and the other top experts all realized it at once.

Descendants of Ancient Spirit Beasts generally awakened Innate Divine Abilities, though the effects of those Divine Skills were all kinds of strange. That punch the Beast-descendant had just thrown very likely was him activating his Divine Skill.

The next moment, his fist smashed into the Great Array—and then a scene that left people dumbstruck and horrified unfolded.

The Great Array actually stopped running all of a sudden, and then, like a glass dome, shattered piece by piece.

The sight was extremely eerie, but in just a few breaths of time, those few Formations had been smashed to pieces by his fist.
