Chapter 486: Chapter 9: Great Ability

“The Beast Chaos has already ended. If there was still Beast Chaos, we could have used it to hinder those guys.”

Lin Feng frowned slightly, feeling a sense of foreboding because the other party would catch up sooner or later.

“Maybe we should split up and run. Even if those people catch up, they will chase after me, and you guys will be safe,” Yu Fan suggested.

“How could that be all right?” Han Shuo was an honest man and didn’t know how to argue, so he just said a few simple words.

But this gesture alone revealed Han Shuo’s character; he was certainly the type of person one could deeply associate with.

“Brother Yu, you mustn’t think this way. Do you really believe that by splitting up now, Brother Han and I will be safe? That’s just wishful thinking! Those two leaders in black who just left have been thoroughly provoked; they certainly won’t let any of us go. If we stick together, we have a better chance of safety. Splitting up will only result in us being defeated one by one… It would be even more tragic,” Lin Feng said.

Yu Fan nodded and replied, “I wasn’t thinking thoroughly.”

Fifteen minutes later, a terrifying presence approached from the distance.

Ten men dressed in black were already on their trail.

“You won’t be able to run.”

A chilling voice echoed as an icy aura exuded from the ten men in black.

They were like Death Gods who had emerged from hell.

“They’ve caught up,” Han Shuo’s face suddenly turned pale.

With a grim expression, Lin Feng was aware of how difficult it would be to escape from two powerful beings from the Yin Yang Realm and eight from the Tenth Level of the Martial King Realm.

Lin Feng was clearly aware of this fact, and they needed to find a way to shake off these fiends. Endlessly running without purpose would only lead to a dead end.

One of the black-clad leaders said sinisterly, “It’s no use. Within this vast jungle, you only have one path—death.”

“Fifth Prince, do you still want to run? Stop running; you are destined to die at our hands,” the second black-clad leader’s ghastly laughter could be heard.

Lin Feng frowned slightly. Fifth Prince? It seemed that Yu Fan’s identity was indeed not simple.

Could it be due to a royal succession struggle that he was being pursued?

That was quite possible. Lin Feng knew that there was no such thing as affection within the royal family. For the throne, brothers could turn against each other, and patricide or fratricide was not uncommon.

Perhaps the Death Soldiers who were in pursuit were sent by Yu Fan’s imperial brothers.

Given that these Death Soldiers included two powerful beings from the Yin Yang Realm, it was clear that the forces behind Yu Fan were not simple—perhaps they were on the level of some Ancient Immortal Dynasty.

Some Ancient Immortal Dynasties, while not as strong as the Four Great Ancient Imperial Dynasties, also had a long history and were filled with numerous experts.

Yu Fan said nothing, his face overcast with shadows.

One side fleeing and the other in pursuit, but the distance was rapidly closing, and it was clear that it wouldn’t take long before they would be caught.

“We can’t go on like this. Soon, they will catch up to us. Let’s head to the Beast Emperor’s territory. If we’re lucky, maybe we can throw these people off with the help of the Beast Emperor’s might,” Lin Feng said in a low voice.

Yu Fan and Han Shuo nodded, following Lin Feng and flying deeper into the forest.

The pursuers in black were relentless, seemingly guessing Lin Feng’s intentions; their expressions darkened as they picked up speed.

Lin Feng and his companions also desperately pushed their speed to the limit.

‘Roar’

As they reached the deeper part, an earth-shattering roar shook the heavens.

A Fierce Beast shrouded in mist collided violently with a strong member of the Human Clan in the Void.

The giant beast’s roar moved mountains and shook the earth, opening its mouth to spew endless black fog.

The black fog transformed into a dense swarm of fierce beasts, rolling over the sky and crushing the Cultivator from the Human Clan.

“My God, what kind of Divine Skills are these?”

Lin Feng and the others were visibly shaken, facing the powerful Beast Emperor who had initiated the Beast Chaos.

“Lord Punishment Beast Emperor! You’ve initiated Beast Chaos, causing the deaths of countless innocents. Today, I alone have come from the Star Cloud Pavilion to ask you to cease. If you continue down this misguided path, the Star Cloud Pavilion will have no choice but to eliminate you,” the voice of the Star Cloud Pavilion representative echoed.

The Human Clan’s strongman roared and swung his hand, conjuring a galaxy world where countless stars plummeted down.

Both sides’ attacks collided, ultimately annihilating each other.

“It’s a Great Ability”! Lin Feng was moved.

This was a powerhouse who had transcended the Yin Yang Realm.

Only those who had transcended the Yin Yang Realm could be called Great Abilities.

The Star Cloud Pavilion’s powerhouse before him was such a Great Ability, holding sway over the Three Thousand States of the Heavenly Martial Continent.

“You despicable members of the Human Clan, you’ve stolen a Beast Emperor Egg, I will slaughter you all.” The Beast Emperor roared in anger.

It charged again toward the Human Clan’s strongman.

“No wonder the Beast Emperor sparked an uprising, it turns out it was because its Beast Emperor Egg was stolen.” Yu Fan was astonished.

For Fierce Beasts, especially the more powerful ones, giving birth was incredibly difficult.

It was quite normal for the Beast Emperor to rage over its stolen egg.

Unknown who was behind it, this incident had unfortunately involved many innocents, leading to tragic deaths.

The Star Cloud Pavilion’s powerhouse clashed with the Beast Emperor again, neither able to best the other. The Great Ability of the Star Cloud Pavilion declared, “We at the Star Cloud Pavilion will investigate this matter for you and will undoubtedly provide you with a satisfactory answer.”

Han Shuo questioned, “Why is the Star Cloud Pavilion so indulgent with Lord Punishment Beast Emperor? Even though Lord Punishment Beast Emperor equals a Great Ability level being, this is still the Star Cloud Pavilion’s territory.”

Yu Fan replied, “These Beast Emperors are not simple, either. Behind some are complicated and intricate powers. If it involves the Demon Clan, even the Star Cloud Pavilion would have to be cautious.”

Lin Feng nodded, adding, “Many things aren’t as simple as they appear on the surface. This Lord Punishment Beast Emperor might even have some beneficial relationships with the Star Cloud Pavilion.”

“Fine, I’ll give you three months, if you can’t find any results by then, I will incite a Beast Egg uprising and attack Star Cloud City.”

Lord Punishment Beast Emperor’s icy voice resonated as he then flew into the distance, disappearing into the depths of the forest.

The Great Ability from the Star Cloud Pavilion stood in the void, his brows slightly furrowed.

“Kid, you can’t escape anymore.” From afar, ten black-robed persons gave chase, their faces filled with sinister smiles as they targeted Lin Feng, Yu Fan, and Han Shuo.

Seeing these pursuers, the faces of Lin Feng and his companions turned ashen.

The Great Ability from the Star Cloud Pavilion also noticed the situation on their side but appeared to have no intention to intervene, turning to leave.

“Elder, we are all scions of noble families here to join the Star Cloud Pavilion. We don’t know how we offended these evildoers, but somehow we’ve attracted their pursuit. Please, elder, save us.”

Lin Feng shouted loudly.

“Hmm? Scions wishing to join my Star Cloud Pavilion?” The Star Cloud Pavilion’s Great Ability frowned slightly, looking at Lin Feng and his two friends with some skepticism, as they were being pursued by a Yin Yang Realm Cultivator, which puzzled him.

Lin Feng explained, “We’ve come into possession of some fortune, which attracted their interest, and we would rather offer it to the elder.”

“Oh? What sort of fortune?” The eyes of the Star Cloud Pavilion’s Great Ability shone slightly.

“We have come across a Soul Secret Skill, which is why we’re being pursued,” Lin Feng revealed.

“A Soul Secret Skill? Excellent, hand it over at once.” The Great Ability from the Star Cloud Pavilion’s face lit up with joy.

The Star Cloud Pavilion was most skilled in Soul Secret Skills, and its upper echelons were always collecting Soul Secret Skills to enrich the heritage of the Divine Ability Hall.

Lin Feng gave Yu Fan and Han Shuo a look, and the three quickly flew towards the Great Ability of the Star Cloud Pavilion.

Lin Feng presented the secret manual for the “Soul Sword.”

He had now cultivated a far more powerful “Soul Miniature wielding the Sword” Soul Secret Skill, rendering the Soul Sword obsolete. Giving it to the Great Ability of the Star Cloud Pavilion felt inconsequential, so long as it helped them escape their current plight.

“Soul Sword.” The Great Ability of the Star Cloud Pavilion flipped through a few pages, smiling, “Not bad at all, you’ve done well.”

“This elder, don’t listen to this youngster’s nonsense,” said one of the black-robed leaders with a sullen voice.

“Hmm? How I handle matters is none of your concern. These three may soon become disciples of my Star Cloud Pavilion. To think you dare pursue a future disciple of my Star Cloud Pavilion, courting death. Get lost or face a place with no burial today,” the Star Cloud Pavilion’s Great Ability said coldly.

A chill ran down the spines of those in black robes, realizing they could not bear the wrath of a Great Ability. The two leaders exchanged looks, both bearing a gloomy expression. However, they dared not linger and quickly led the others away, vanishing in the blink of an eye without a trace.
