Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 769
Chapter 769: The Wild Beasts Attack the Flame Bulwark Tribe, Kittens and Puppies, Now Stay Down
When humans encountered disasters or sufferings, they would seek help from the gods. That was how the gods were able to increase their followers.
The human race in the past was so weak that the gods did not even need to create trouble for them to come and seek help from the gods automatically.
However, as the years went by, the number of cultivators continued increasing among humans.
The humans gradually relied on the gods less. Naturally, the gods would not sit by and watch this happen when they discovered this.
Hence, many acts of suffering were concocted by the gods to regain the people’s faith.
The Ice God would create blizzards, the Storm God would create hurricanes, the Sea God would stir up tsunamis, the Underworld God would release his ghouls and minions to take the lives of those humans…
The endless suffering made the humans miserable.
They could only seek help from the gods again and again.
The gods would thus receive the faith they wanted.
“That’s how these gods are, putting up an act and taking the role of humanity’s savior. Our human race has been played by them all this time,” Chu Kuangren explained.
Greenie was stunned upon hearing this. He knew the gods were up to no good but did not expect them to be so despicable.
“Do the human cultivators not care about this at all?”
“They can, but they can’t intervene much.”
“What does this mean?”
Greenie became a little confused.
Chu Kuangren continued speaking. “The cultivators can take action, but they must be careful not to reveal too much of their strength, lest they draw the attention and fear of the gods.”
“To them now, the human cultivators are interesting beings, but we’re only just that. We’re not a threat to the gods’ reputation or their place in the human’s hearts. Meanwhile, fully knowing this, the human cultivators are taking this opportunity to increase their strength in secret, waiting for the opportunity to fight back. That’s why they can’t expose themselves for now.”
“That’s why the human cultivators can only go against the gods without revealing their true strength.”
Greenie soon understood this and nodded. He then asked, “Then what about the Flame Bulwark Tribe? Would they be able to hold off against the disaster caused by the gods this time?”
Chu Kuangren’s Emperor Thought swept across the whole Flame Bulwark Tribe and shook his head. “The strongest cultivator in this tribe is only an Initial Emperor. There is no way he can fend off a Manticore and Lightning Beast’s attacks.”
“So should we help them?”
“Of course.”
Chu Kuangren laughed.
He would not allow the gods to act with such insolence before the likes of him.
The next day.
Roars like thunder could be heard from the Flame Bulwark Tribe.
The Manticore, Scarlet Panther, and other wild beasts appeared in the tribe.
These wild beasts were incredibly powerful as they had the ability to cultivate since they were born. Adding to the fact that the spiritual qi in this era was incredibly dense and the Heavenly Dao had manifested, these wild beasts could reach the level of an Emperor within a few hundred years.
The strongest cultivator of the Flame Bulwark Tribe was a brawny man with red hair who was also the leader of their tribe. His name was Yan Wu!
Yan Wu was an Initial Emperor Realm cultivator. However, he could not hold off against the joint attacks of the wild beasts and was soon defeated.
Facing this situation, some of the tribe members knelt on the ground, wanting to seek help from the gods like before.
Yan Wu felt helpless seeing this.
He was still too weak compared to the gods.
Even the weakest gods were as strong as a Heavenly Imperial.
They were much stronger than an Initial Emperor.
One of the gods, who was secretly watching this, was about to take action.
However, he was stopped by a fellow god. “Be patient. Just wait a little while longer and let the number of their casualties increase.”
“Alright.”
“The more unforgettable their suffering is, the stronger their faith will be. The current level of suffering they have is still not enough.”
That god said with a cold grin, and his fellow god also revealed the same look upon hearing this.
“You’re right. Let’s wait a little longer then. Let these puny humans know that worshipping the gods is their only way to survive in this world. Things like cultivation and refining qi are all bullsh*t.”
…
The Manticore, Lightning Beast, Scarlet Panther, and other wild beasts attacked again, slaughtering many of the Flame Bulwark Tribe members. Countless people could only shiver uncontrollably as they watched these ferocious wild beasts wreak havoc. None of them had the courage to fight the wild beasts at all.
A strong man then yelled and rushed towards the beasts with a spear.
“It’s our warrior, Atu.”
“It’s all up to you now, Atu.”
Everyone looked at the strong man Atu with hope.
Atu stabbed the Manticore with his spear.
However, his spear immediately broke into two with a clang. Meanwhile, the Manticore was not injured at all. It did not even lose its fur.
Once again, everyone became hopeless when they saw this.
Atu could only look at the spear in his hand in a daze.
A thrust from his spear was enough to penetrate a whole mountain. Yet, he could not even injure a Manticore with it. The difference between them was just too much.
“You human. You’re not even an Emperor, yet you dare to injure me?”
The Manticore snorted coldly and was about to kill Atu with its paw.
Just as Atu thought he was going to die, the Manticore’s claw suddenly stopped in mid-air. Somehow, it did not come down on him.
At that, the Manticore gradually became horrified.
“What’s going on? What is this energy…”
“This is not divine power. It’s not the gods doing this.”
The sudden change in plans terrified Manticore even more.
It was that surge of energy, especially. He could sense an aura even more horrifying than the gods’ contained within it. ‘What the h*ll is this?!’
“It must be the gods’ doing.”
“The gods have come to save us.” The humans, who were praying to the gods for help, immediately became overjoyed when they saw the Manticore’s sudden change.
Sure enough, only the gods could protect them.
Cultivation, refining qi… All of those were unreliable.
“Oh, but I’m not a god.”
A chuckle was heard.
A delicate and thin young man wearing a white cloak was seen walking towards everyone, and he was followed by a young man in green robes.
Everyone exchanged glances upon seeing him.
“Where did this sick cripple come from? How dare he slander the name of the gods.”
A middle-aged man yelled at Chu Kuangren.
“Sick cripple?”
Chu Kuangren looked at himself.
It was true that Cang had suffered from the cold for a long time. Since the cold had eroded his body, his physical appearance did not look well. In fact, his face looked a little pale.
He seemed like someone who was riddled with illness.
Nevertheless, he could not care less about that middle-aged man’s insults. However, the young man in green beside him could not bear it and shot a chilling gaze towards the man.
“Bored of staying alive, I see.”
Greenie drew his sword and was about to attack.
Chu Kuangren then raised his hand and stopped him. “Don’t bother.”
Greenie put away his sword angrily while glaring at the middle-aged man, who was frightened by his gaze and collapsed to the ground.
“Who are you?”
“How dare you interfere in what we’re doing?”
The wild beasts looked at Chu Kuangren with fear in their eyes.
The young man before them looked weak. Yet, for some reason, he made them feel terrified.
That feeling was even more terrifying than facing the gods.
“Hmph, you’re just a bunch of kittens and puppies. Now, stay down.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
The moment he finished speaking, the wild beasts at the scene suddenly felt a surge of incredibly terrifying energy descending from the sky.
With a bang, all the wild beasts were immediately slammed to the ground without any strength to resist, rendering them all immobile.
Everyone in the Flame Bulwark Tribe and even an Emperor like Yan Wu stared at what happened, their eyes wide open with disbelief.
‘Those are legendary, powerful, and ferocious wild beasts.’
‘To make them stay down with a single command.’
‘Who is this person?!’
As for Chu Kuangren, he looked into the sky nearby after he suppressed the wild beast and said, “Alright, that’s all for the show. It’s time to come out now, you two.”
