Chapter 130 - 126: The Second Wave of Beasts

He had copied all the bamboo slips, and with a sweep of his hand, Ding Huan also took out the shelf filled with bamboo slips and jade scrolls. Just as he expected, once the shelf was out, all the bamboo slips turned to flying ash. Ding Huan rolled up the ash into a ball and threw it into the trash can. Having done that, Ding Huan sorted the jade scrolls carefully, stored them again in the Sumeru Space. He hadn't had a chance to examine these jade scrolls yet, and he planned to study them slowly when he was free. The Sumeru Space was still very large, and Ding Huan immediately sent two segments of Energy Veins and one segment of Primordial Qi Vein into it. The only thing he regretted was that he had severed these Energy Veins. Then, Ding Huan sent all hundred thousand plus Blossom God Crystal Stones into the Sumeru Space as well. With the Blossom God Crystal Stones and Energy Veins removed, the Blue Star suddenly felt spacious. This made Ding Huan feel relaxed. Although the Blossom God Crystal Stones and Energy Veins were valuable, having them occupy so much space was somewhat troublesome. Now, his living area had become spacious once again. The Demon Core, Fierce Beast Demon Core, and that leather scroll in his bag were also sent by Ding Huan into the Sumeru Space. Finally, Ding Huan looked at the pot under his feet. This pot should be out of the ordinary; Ding Huan picked up the pot, and with a whip of his Divine Will, tried to toss it into the Sumeru Space. To Ding Huan's surprise, he did not succeed. After several attempts, the pot remained immovable. Indeed, it was no ordinary pot; even the Sumeru Space couldn't take it in. Never mind. It was fine as it was, the pot wasn't taking up space on the Blue Star anyway. Holding the tiny star-shaped stone in his hand, Ding Huan felt deeply moved. The rules of heaven and earth were truly magical. So many things could all exist within this little stone. If he told others about this, would anyone believe it? Why would a Sumeru Space exist in the universe? It could have something to do with a new scientific discipline that science has not yet touched upon. That is the rules of the universe. Not to say that the rules have not been touched upon, the rules that have been touched are all traceable and can only exist within the Solar System. Such as gravity, buoyancy, magnetism, electromagnetism, quantum fields, and so forth—these are all kinds of rules. Beyond this range, all the rules summarized by mankind may become ineffective. Such as rules of space, time, dimensions, and so on. It's a pity he didn't understand any of it now. The Sumeru Space should be the most valuable treasure he possessed; it should have a name... Let's call it Star House then, as it looked like a star. "Xiao Tu..." Qi Xinyue's voice rang out. Ding Huan, puzzled, looked at Qi Xinyue. Three days had passed, and Qi Xinyue's cultivation seemed to have not improved at all. And this place was filled with Blossom God Crystal Stones. "This is for you," Qi Xinyue handed a pale yellow pendant to Ding Huan. "What is this?" Ding Huan asked as he took the pendant, apparently something to wear on the chest. However, as soon as Ding Huan saw the design of the pendant, he immediately understood. Qi Xinyue glanced at the now empty space, clearly realizing Ding Huan must have put away his possessions: "You have nothing to put in your Sumeru Space, so I made something. You can place the Sumeru Space inside this pendant and then wear it around your neck." Ding Huan was ecstatic; wearing this thing around his neck was most appropriate. "Thank you, Xinyue." Ding Huan hadn't expected Qi Xinyue to be so considerate. She must have thought of this the moment she saw his Sumeru Space. Qi Xinyue smiled sweetly: "The cord on this amulet was made from an amulet my mother gave me, and every thread on this amulet cannot be broken. You can wear it with confidence; it won't fall off." "Then don't you have no amulet left?" Ding Huan then realized that this thing was the only contact that Qi Xinyue and her mother had; now that she had given it to him, what about her? Qi Xinyue's face looked even happier, as if able to do something for Ding Huan: "When you become stronger in the future, Xiao Tu, you'll make one for me too. Besides, I'm always by your side, isn't the amulet just as good on you as on me?" Ding Huan affirmed with a nod as he looked at Qi Xinyue: "Xinyue, rest assured, I will definitely make an amulet for you." He had just obtained the Dao Talisman, and if he couldn't find the Taoist Talisman in the future, he'd study the runes of the talisman himself. And then make an amulet for Qi Xinyue. He placed the Star House into the pouch woven by Qi Xinyue. It fitted perfectly, as if made to order. "Xinyue, this will be called the Star House from now on. Take a look," Ding Huan gave the Star House in his hand to Qi Xinyue. Qi Xinyue looked at it for a long while and then took the initiative to hang it around Ding Huan's neck. Just as she was about to say something, a bright light burst outside. Ding Huan's Divine Will swept outside and saw endless Fierce Beasts charging toward the human corridor's protection line. He grabbed the war halberd: "Xinyue, the Fierce Beast Tide has started; I'll go down first to take a look." "I'll go down with you," Qi Xinyue quickly said. Ding Huan, knowing that he would be by Qi Xinyue's side and considering her strength, thought it should be safe as long as they didn't encounter creatures like the Demon Dragon and giant ape. "Alright, then follow me closely." Ding Huan said and opened the Blue Star's hatch. As soon as he opened the door, Ding Huan saw Zhong Chi hurrying over. "Brother Ding, I was just about to find you. This Fierce Beast Tide is no small scale; they say it's no less severe than the last one." "And I took a look, the Fierce Beasts outside just keep coming endlessly from the sea floor's Great Dao, I'm afraid that this time the scale might very well exceed the last." Zhong Chi said loudly. As for worries, he really didn't have many. Not just because Ding Huan was here, but you should know, there was also a colossal War Disc here. Ding Huan hadn't witnessed how large the last scale was. However, this time around, the scale of the Fierce Beast Tide was truly not small. The Fierce Beasts rushing to the steel Protection Wall were at least in the millions, and even several thousands had managed to climb onto the Protection Wall. Also, because there were more powerful individuals this time, such as Nong Yizhen, Li Chuan, Yan Xia, and Qu Weimin, who were all Innate or Acquired strength powerhouses. Under their leadership, the thousands of Fierce Beasts that surged onto the walls were quickly slaughtered. Soon, several thousand more Fierce Beasts charged up. Ding Huan was certain that if he wasn't here, and without the War Disc, following this pattern, the human corridor defense line would be breached a second time. This is the qualitative change caused by quantity. "Brother Ding, these Fierce Beasts are coming again." Qu Yi also heard the commotion, stopped her Cultivation, and stepped out from the Blue Star. Seeing Qu Yi come out, Qi Xinyue hurriedly went to close the hatch of the Blue Star. "How does this compare to last time?" Ding Huan asked. Qu Yi had experienced the last Beast Tide, she looked at the waves of Fierce Beasts climbing the Protection Wall outside and felt a lingering fear: "This Fierce Beast Tide is almost the same as the last one, I saw that there are still endless numbers of Fierce Beasts charging this way from afar, I'm afraid the scale may be even bigger than the last time." Last time, Qu Yi was engaged in slaughtering Fierce Beasts throughout, even when the defensive line was breached, she was still fighting Fierce Beasts. If it weren't for the commander, Hu Jiatian, who intervened, she would have long perished at the jaws of the Fierce Beasts. "Mr. Ding, should we use the weapons on the War Disc?" Fan Yibing ran over anxiously. The Fierce Beasts' attacks were too strong. Despite the barrage of bullets, various shells, and laser weapons raining down everywhere, they still couldn't prevent the increasing number of Fierce Beasts from climbing onto the city walls. "Lao Zhong, enter the War Disc and wait for the signal. Remember, don't bring the War Disc over just yet." After speaking to Zhong Chi, Ding Huan then turned to Fan Yibing: "Commander Fan, I estimate that the Demon Dragon and the giant ape will probably arrive shortly. If they dare to launch a Fierce Beast Tide, it means their wounds have healed. Once the Demon Dragon arrives, give Lao Zhong the signal, and let him control the War Disc to hunt down the Fierce Beasts." "Yes." Fan Yibing, with military origins, spoke and acted in a simple and decisive manner. "Big brother, I'll go kill the Fierce Beasts." Qu Yi said urgently. Although there were many powerhouses here, with more and more Fierce Beasts climbing the Protection Wall, the number of people dying was also increasing. "You and Xinyue both go, strike with your full power, there's nothing to hesitate about," Ding Huan said. Qu Yi and Qi Xinyue would certainly not hesitate, there was no time for hesitation here. That endless stream of Fierce Beasts charging forth cared not for life or death. With Qi Xinyue and Qu Yi joining in, under the continuous onslaught of the Wind Blade Skill, groups of charging Fierce Beasts were slaughtered. Within just a short time, the number of Fierce Beasts on the Protection Wall dropped swiftly. Neither Qi Xinyue nor Qu Yi was considered highly powerful, but their method of using Wind Blade Skill to kill Fierce Beasts was simply the bane of Fierce Beasts. If Fierce Beasts couldn't climb the Protection Wall, then they could only be slaughtered from the outside. Even if some Fierce Beasts were tough-skinned and ferociously fierce, if they couldn't climb the wall, then under the continuous coverage of heavy weapons fire, they couldn't hold on. The reason the defense line was breached last time was that Fierce Beasts had climbed over the Protection Wall, dissolving the threat of the heavy weapons' attacks. Ding Huan's Divine Will was always focused in the distance, and when he saw the throngs of Fierce Beasts parting to each side as they rushed here, he immediately said: "Commander Fan, immediately have Lao Zhong bring the War Disc over and take action." "Yes." Fan Yibing had been waiting for these words, and without hesitation, she sent out the message. Almost the moment after Fan Yibing sent the message, those Fierce Beasts seemed to have taken a stimulant and furiously charged towards the Protection Wall. A towering giant ape, under the cover of the herd of Fierce Beasts, made its way onto the city wall. Ding Huan didn't wait for the giant ape to land, his spear in hand thrust decisively at the giant ape. Last time, being only a level four gene cultivator, he was trampled and beaten by this giant ape. Ding Huan had long wanted to get even for this breath of sullenness. Today, encountering it again, how could Ding Huan let it leave? The giant ape saw Ding Huan charging over and roared even louder towards Ding Huan. In its eyes, the biggest failure was letting Ding Huan, this little grasshopper, escape last time. And then this little grasshopper plotted against it and left it heavily injured, which was a complete insult to its self-proclaimed Beast King status. Seeing Ding Huan this time, it wouldn't let Ding Huan live unless it swallowed him whole. It would not live up to its reputation as the king of this territory. In the eyes of the giant ape, it wouldn't be worse than that little dragon. That dragon was only able to crush it because it gained intelligence earlier and had more opportunities. Now that its wounds were healed, a more vast territory awaited it to thrive. With its wisdom and capabilities, it would surely one day surpass that little dragon. Of course, that was only what it thought itself. In Ding Huan's eyes, it paled in comparison to the Demon Dragon, it was simply not on the same level. Hence, when Ding Huan struck with his spear, he did not unleash the nine spears, in fact, he only used thirty percent of his strength. Even with just thirty percent strength, the giant ape still felt the presence of death everywhere the spear passed. Suppressed? It wasn't until this moment that the giant ape knew fear. Compared to the Ding Huan it met last time, this transformation was complete, how much stronger had he become? The giant ape did possess some wisdom. It knew it could not dodge, so it roared frantically, slapping at the long spear Ding Huan thrust at it, while its entire body charged towards Ding Huan, its jaws snapping down. It was willing to suffer some injuries to crush Ding Huan once and for all.
