Chapter 140: Chapter 89: Dongfang Yao, Beast King
They could summon the Vajra’s Shadow, receive its blessing, and have their Defense Power and attack power skyrocket, all while becoming fearless in the face of death.
Chen Yu had slaughtered hundreds of Level 3 and Level 4 beasts, and the huge commotion instantly drew the attention of three Vajra Beasts.
"ROAR!!!"
The three Level 6 Vajra Beasts roared and charged madly toward him.
"SWISH~"
Chen Yu’s figure flickered and vanished in an instant.
WHOOSH—!
The next second, he appeared above the three Vajra Beasts. A Frost Storm descended, and a terrifying arctic chill swept over them, freezing the three Level 6 Vajra Beasts on the spot.
However, a mere moment later, golden light erupted from the three Vajra Beasts. From within the light, a Vajra’s Shadow hundreds of meters tall materialized.
The ice that bound them shattered instantly.
Talent: Vajra’s Shadow!
After activating their talent, the three Vajra Beasts’ auras grew exceptionally savage. Their eyes turned blood-red, and their massive palms compressed the air as they swatted directly at Chen Yu.
A three-pronged deathblow!
"BOOM!!!"
A dull thud rang out. A powerful Biological Force Field erupted around Chen Yu, forcefully blocking the three Vajra Beasts’ attack.
His body shuddered, and the energy within him roiled!
"BANG! BANG! BANG!!!"
In the next instant, he moved like a flash of lightning. Three heavy punches flew out, sending the three Vajra Beasts flying.
’When it comes to strength, I’ve never been afraid of anyone!’
With his Tier Six body, his strength was greater than, not inferior to, that of a Level 6 Vajra Beast.
A long saber materialized in his hand. With a flicker, Chen Yu instantly appeared before one of the Vajra Beasts.
"SQUELCH!"
He plunged the saber into the Vajra Beast’s eye, and blood flowed freely.
"ROAR!!!"
Blinded in one eye, the injured Vajra Beast became even more enraged.
It flailed its arms wildly!
Chen Yu gave it no chance to fight back, seizing the opportunity to blind its other eye.
’Good thing the weapon Sophie transformed into is strong enough. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to pierce the Vajra Beast’s defense.’
Repeating the process, Chen Yu blinded the other two Vajra Beasts as well.
’It’s a dirty tactic, but against beasts, any method that works is a good method.’
’When it comes to enemies, the word ’mercy’ has never been in my vocabulary.’
With all three Level 6 Vajra Beasts blinded, dealing with them became much simpler.
He unleashed his ice abilities once more, freezing them solid. Then, amplifying his strength with his Force Field, he shattered their internal organs with a single punch. In an instant, the three Level 6 Vajra Beasts were finished.
"That was some impressive power!" a girl’s voice called out.
Chen Yu looked over and saw a young woman.
A beast roared and charged the young woman. She simply lifted a hand, and with a clench of her snow-white palm, a mysterious power erupted. The powerful Level 5 beast’s brain exploded, dissolving into a bloody mist.
’Holy shit, what kind of Superpower is that!’
Chen Yu was shocked.
It wasn’t her power level that amazed him, but the bizarre nature of her Superpower.
It died with just a clench of her fist from a distance.
And it was a Level 5 beast, no less.
The young woman’s cultivation was also at Level 5. To be able to instantly kill a Level 5 beast so easily meant her ability was extraordinarily powerful.
His Force Field sense told him that this young woman contained a terrifyingly powerful Seed of Superpower; she even gave him a sense of danger.
Moreover, she didn’t seem to have just one Superpower. His Force Field sense detected at least four different ones.
The strongest one felt like it was at least S-rank.
"It looks like you’re from a Superpower Academy, right?" the young woman asked with a smile as she approached him.
Chen Yu remained wary but nodded nonetheless.
"My name is Dongfang Yao, a second-year student at the Capital City Superpower Academy."
The young woman introduced herself with a friendly smile.
’Dongfang Yao?’
Hearing the name, Chen Yu’s thoughts immediately jumped to the Dongfang family.
’Damn, this girl couldn’t possibly be from the Dongfang family, could she?’
’What kind of monsters does the Dongfang family produce?’
’There was Dongfang Yi, Dongfang Ji, and Dongfang Wan... and now there’s a Dongfang Yao?!’
’He knew the Dongfang family was a world-class super-conglomerate, but holy crap, this was just too terrifying.’
’For so many badasses to appear in the younger generation...’
’Are all the great families this monstrously talented?’
"Are you from the Dongfang family?" Chen Yu asked.
Dongfang Yao nodded. "That’s right. My older brother is Dongfang Yi. You’ve probably heard of him."
Chen Yu: "..."
’Dongfang Yi’s little sister...’
’So we’re "acquaintances" now, for real.’
"My name is Chen Yu, a first-year student at Jingzhou Superpower Academy," Chen Yu said, calming himself.
"You’re *that* Chen Yu? The champion of the Jingzhou tournament?" Dongfang Yao looked at him in surprise.
Chen Yu nodded.
"Wow, that’s amazing! My brother told me about you. I never thought I’d get to see the legend in the flesh today," Dongfang Yao said, her face full of admiration.
Chen Yu: "..."
"The tournament champion! So cool!" Dongfang Yao’s eyes sparkled as she looked at him.
"Ahem, it’s just a title. Nothing worth mentioning," Chen Yu coughed.
"How about we team up?" Dongfang Yao asked, her eyes full of expectation.
"...Alright." Chen Yu didn’t refuse.
’Dongfang Yao’s power was enough to make even him feel a sense of danger. Having a strong ally wouldn’t be a bad thing.’
Without any more pointless chatter, the two of them quickly rushed toward the city center.
With the two of them working together, there were almost no obstacles.
They cleared out every beast they encountered.
Soon, they arrived at the city center.
The buildings that had been magnificent just yesterday were now nothing but a field of rubble.
The two of them appeared atop a skyscraper, their gazes fixed on a massive, collapsed Abyss not far away.
A huge number of beasts were continuously pouring out of it.
"Looks like this beast tide is pretty big," Chen Yu said, his expression grave.
"This beast tide is likely related to the Divine Authority Council," she said. "According to my intel, the Divine Authority Council moved the beasts and colluded with the Alien Race. They’re planning to destroy Tang City and use the blood of its hundreds of thousands of residents for some kind of mysterious sacrificial ritual."
