Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 2375: The City in the Sky

Chapter 2375 – The City in the Sky

The first warbeast, a world clam, reminded Tianming of the Tranquil Battlefield that looked like a green clamshell. It was a green shell, covered in strange patterns. White mist poured out from an open gap, quickly filling the air. The dense mist formed an illusory city in the enclosed space, and as time passed, the city became more and more real. It felt like a mirage.

“A world clam! That’s probably the top illusion-type nova wildbeast in Ebonia, and it’s very intelligent! It might be a beast, but its soul power is quite terrifying. It’s at least as smart as the voidheart worm!”

It was a frightening opponent.

The second was a dragonscale superfiend, a black superfiend covered in dragon scales from head to tail. It was about as big as Tianming, much smaller than the clam, and had bat wings, a scorpion tail, a triangular head, and eight arms shaped like Tianming’s black arm. It was a miniature close-quarters fighting machine!

One of Qi Xuanzi’s warbeasts had been a superfiend, which was also very intelligent. However, dragonscale superfiends were actually mutants. Nova wildbeasts tempered their flesh with nova source and the dragonscale superfiends did that deep under the ground. Despite their size, their flesh contained immense power. Specters of a similar build would have trouble fighting it. A world clam and dragonscale superfiend! Shenxi Shang didn’t have to switch warbeasts. As long as they were allowed to grow, their combat power would eventually reach ether class.

Shenxi Shang also had ten powerful low-sanctuary-class warbeasts which he had carefully selected. They were of the same species, called skydepths hyenas, which were nova wildbeasts that lived in groups and loved to eat. Known for their endless appetite, a stomach like the abyss, and a strong digestion, they could devour lifebound beasts ten times their size. They were ferocious and fearless. They ate everything, even human beings. Although their individual combat power was far inferior to the dragonscale superfiend, their combined strength was rather terrifying, and numbers were exactly what Shenxi Shang needed at this stage.

At that moment, the ten low-sanctuary-class skydepths hyenas had encircled Shenxi Shang, the world clam, and the dragonscale superfiend. With red eyes, they stared at Tianming and his lifebound beasts and let out agitated growls. Black drool dribbled from their mouths.

“They’re so strong!” Tianming frowned. This was the reason he’d had to leave himself room to maneuver. As soon as Shenxi Shang revealed his skills, Tianming got a first glimpse of the true strength of Ebonia’s number one hundred-year-old genius. He was much stronger than Yi Taoyao. Fifty years ago, Shenxi Shang had been a rex mundi’s son. And now, driven by anger, the son of the former rex mundi was determined to win this Infinitum Duel. Cold like the abyss, his entire body was shrouded in gold mist.

“Kill them all.” The soul eyes in Shenxi Shang’s left and right hands shone with a golden light that enveloped his warbeasts.

The dragonscale superfiend’s function was similar to Ying Huo. It could kill and conceal itself, and was powerful on its own. Possessing the abilities of both Xian Xian and Lan Huang, the world clam oversaw the battlefield and confused its opponents. The hardiness and resilience of its outer shell was beyond imagination. On the other hand, the hyenas were the best soldiers. At Shenxi Shang’s command, the ten low-sanctuary-class beasts transformed into black shadows and charged toward their opponents with a cry.

“Crap! Here come the experts at ripping out rear ends! Cat Bro, Tortoise Bro, be careful!” Ying Huo shouted.

“Take care of the superfiend!” Tianming said with trepidation.

“Okay, leave it to me.” Staying small, Ying Huo flew up.

A decisive battle broke out. A storm of white mist swept across and, in an instant, a majestic city took form. The streets, walls, peddlers, and people were all so real. However, they were merely an illusion. The city filled Tianming and his lifebound beasts’ entire field of view, making it impossible for them to see their opponents.

“They’re gone!” Ying Huo was startled.

Danger lurked on every side.

When the world clam made a move, its ability, City In The Sky, had completely disrupted Tianming’s strategy. Although the illusion didn’t confuse their souls, it obscured their vision and interfered with their movements. As soon as Ying Huo tried moving forward, a wall appeared in front of it. The wall couldn’t stop Ying Huo; it could still pass through, but it couldn’t see its opponents. The entire city was crowded and complex, like the real world, with throngs of people. The noise of heavy traffic filled the air making the roars of the hyenas nonexistent.

Ying Huo merely stood still for an instant when an old man selling vegetables on the street in front of it suddenly turned into the dragonscale superfiend. Letting out a shrill scream, the superfiend pounced on Ying Huo with all eight claws.

“Fuck!”

Ying Huo quickly used Infernal Haze to escape the lethal attack. Given the superfiend’s strength and abilities, Ying Huo’s life would be in danger if it had been caught. But when it turned around, the dragonscale superfiend was gone. What greeted Ying Huo was the same bustling city and raucous crowd. There was hawking and talking, laughter, and children playing. It was bizarre.

A city wall suddenly moved and slammed into Meow Meow. It wasn’t until it was closer that Meow Meow realized it was a hyena. The cat only smelled the stench of rot at the moment it appeared in front of it. VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

The clam had created an illusory city.

“Although everything we see is fake, it interferes with our judgment and is able to trap us. What an amazing beast!”

What should they do? To get out of their current predicament, they must first attack the clam and break the City In The Sky.

“Yin Chen, find its position and enter its body!” For beasts with shells, no matter how hard they were on the outside, their insides must be soft. “I wonder what’ll happen when a billion metal bugs make their way inside. Will it be Yin Chen who rips it apart, or will the clam stifle Yin Chen?”

This kind of illusion was caused by interfering with vision, hearing, and smell, which had little effect on Yin Chen. Its strength lay in being able to determine the real environment through the connection between each individual bug and their positions. Under Tianming’s command, Yin Chens spread out like the tide. The opponents couldn’t see it after it turned into invisible cockroaches.

Tianming had noticed a gap in the shell of the clam when it used its ability. “I’ll definitely be defeated if I don’t suppress the world clam!”

Shenxi Shang might still live even if he lost to Tianming, but Tianming would most likely perish if he were defeated, unless he pulled out his Oldgod Ring and violated the agreement of the Infinitum Duel.

“We’re all counting on you, Yin Chen. We must hold on. Xian Xian, follow Yin Chen with the Ghoulface Fiendblossoms!”

The opponent had his combat base, but so did Tianming. Thus, they all returned to Xian Xian’s side. Tianming couldn’t even clearly see his own team in this city. Xian Xian had even turned into an enormous building.

There was danger in the air as ten hyenas charged toward them, stirring up a storm.
