Chapter 1413: God Lord Giant Beast

Yun Che, who was about to leave, suddenly stood motionless, his aura undergoing a noticeable change. Everyone's heart tightened. The Phantasm Smoke City Lord asked, "Venerable Benefactor, do you have any other instructions?"

Yun Che slowly turned around. His somber expression and chilling gaze instilled a sudden unease in everyone. He asked, "In the Snow Song Realm, are there any Divine Sovereign level profound beasts?"

"This..." The Phantasm Smoke City Lord was stunned, and all the other profound practitioners guarding the city looked bewildered.

In the Snow Song Realm, only two individuals had reached the Divine Sovereign realm: Mu Bingyun, the Palace Master of the Thirty-Six Ice Phoenix Palaces, and Grand Elder Mu Huanzhi. For Phantasm Smoke City, Divine Kings were already legendary beings; the Divine Sovereign realm was a level they couldn't even dream of accessing, so naturally, they couldn't answer the question.

"Yes!" Mu Hanyan replied, "A few years ago, I happened to overhear my master mention that there are not only Divine Sovereign profound beasts in the Snow Song Realm, but there are three of them. They are hidden in the Northern, Eastern, and Southern Regions respectively, acting as the supreme overlords of all profound beasts in the Snow Song Realm."

"However, they never leave their territories, and no one has ever seen them. Only the Sect Master—our Snow Song Realm King—knows of their existence."

Mu Hanyan answered in great detail, then tentatively asked, "Senior Ling, could it be that you've heard about them and wish to visit these profound beast overlords during your visit to the Snow Song Realm?"

Yun Che silently stared at Mu Hanyan for a moment... *Do I look that stupid?!*

Those high-level profound beasts almost never entered human territory, but at the same time, their territorial instincts were extremely strong. To "visit" them? As a human, daring to step into their domain would be tantamount to a direct provocation!

"You all, leave quickly." Yun Che turned his gaze back, speaking coldly.

"Huh? Senior, what do you mean?"

"Take Mu Feixue and leave immediately!" Yun Che's face was terrifyingly grim.

Mu Feixue: "..."

"This..." Everyone was even more bewildered.

Yun Che clenched his hands tightly, staring straight ahead. Noticing that the people behind him still hadn't moved, he suddenly exploded, "Don't you understand what I'm saying?! Leave immediately! If you don't, then..."

His voice abruptly stopped. "Haa... It's already too late."

The recently calm snow region suddenly began to shake violently... Following this, a roar that seemed to tear the very firmament erupted.

"ROAR————"

The earth churned, and the roar shook the heavens. In an instant, all the Ice Phoenix disciples and city-guarding profound practitioners were knocked to the ground, with more than half bleeding from their seven orifices. Those who had been injured previously suffered ruptured wounds and vomited blood incessantly.

Yun Che immediately reached out, enveloping Mu Feixue in a profound energy shield... Otherwise, her recently suppressed injuries would surely have completely ruptured.

"Wh-what... what's happening..." The Phantasm Smoke City Lord's voice was trembling, an uncontrollable tremor.

Amidst the terrifying roar, an utterly horrifying spiritual pressure descended from afar... It was a power that completely surpassed their comprehension and imagination, thousands and tens of thousands of times more terrifying than the two Ice River Behemoths from before.

Mu Hanyan half-knelt on the ground, his entire body shaking, unable to stand up for a long time. Amidst his trembling, he suddenly remembered Yun Che's earlier question. His pupils instantly constricted, and he exclaimed in shock, "Senior Ling, could it be... could it be that..."

"This small city is quite lucky," Yun Che said, staring straight ahead. "To actually attract a Divine Sovereign beast, and for this supreme profound beast overlord to leave its territory, it must have been thoroughly enraged."

"Wh-what... wh-what..."

Yun Che's words struck like thunderbolts, terrifying all the profound practitioners of Phantasm Smoke City to their very souls.

Aside from the Phantasm Smoke City Lord, none of them had ever even had the chance to see a Divine Sovereign profound practitioner in their entire lives, let alone known that a Divine Sovereign profound beast overlord was hidden in the same snow region... They simply couldn't believe it. What had their small Phantasm Smoke City done to attract an enraged Divine Sovereign beast?!

"Se-sen-senior..." Mu Hanyan's voice was still trembling, "If it truly is a Divine Sovereign beast, what... what should we do... Senior... do you have a plan...?"

"...What damn plan could I possibly have?!" Yun Che said, somewhat annoyed.

He was increasingly wondering if he was truly a jinx. This Phantasm Smoke City was so remote and so small, clearly a godforsaken little town in the Snow Song Realm... yet it had actually attracted a Divine Sovereign beast that had left its territory!

The power of the Divine Sovereign realm... He absolutely couldn't resist it head-on! He couldn't possibly risk his life by entering the Netherworld Shura state again.

Escaping would be easy, but... Mu Feixue, and everyone else here, would surely die!

"You all, escape as far as you can," Yun Che said, taking a slight breath. "The farther, the better. Whether you live or die will depend on your own fate."

As he spoke, Yun Che's profound energy erupted, swirling into a massive vortex around him.

"Senior, you..."

"I'll try to persuade it to retreat. If negotiations fail, I can at most buy you ten breaths of time..."

Mid-sentence, he flickered and appeared beside Mu Feixue. Disregarding any possible reaction from her, he forcefully wrapped an arm around her waist. "I can only save her life. As for the rest of you, fend for yourselves."

Having said that, he transformed into a streak of light before everyone's stunned eyes, giving them no time to react.

If he used the Heavenly Moon Immortal Palace, he could save many people immediately... But he had already gone above and beyond to help. How could he expose such a valuable treasure for unrelated individuals?

As for Mu Feixue, since she was already Mu Xuanyin's direct disciple, if she died, Mu Xuanyin would surely be disappointed... Besides, this could also be a small compensation for having defiled her and ruined her reputation back then.

Almost at the same instant, a colossal white shadow appeared in the distant sky... The moment the white shadow emerged, everyone felt as if the entire sky had pressed down upon them, and the terror in their hearts magnified dozens of times over.

"Senior Brother, what should we do?"

"Run!"

"But Senior Sister Feixue..."

"Senior Ling said he could save Senior Sister Feixue's life... We can only trust him! Disperse, all of you, run!!"

"Lord City Lord..."

"Go now!!"

Facing a massive beast tide and two Divine Spirit beasts, they would fight to the death. But a Divine Sovereign beast... In front of it, they were all like ants. It was impossible for them to even conceive of resistance.

They dared not hesitate any longer, nor could they spare a thought for Phantasm Smoke City's safety, fleeing at full speed... Only Yun Che, carrying Mu Feixue, charged directly towards the pale colossal beast.

Within their sight was an enormous body, over three hundred zhang tall, several times larger than the Ice River Behemoths they had just slain. Its entire body was pure white; if it suppressed its aura and lay within the snow region, it would perfectly blend with the vast, pale landscape.

Sensing Yun Che's approach, it stopped moving forward, hovering in the air. Its pair of deep blue giant eyes and immense Divine Sovereign aura locked onto Yun Che... the human with the strongest aura.

Yun Che, with Mu Feixue completely passive in his arms, stopped in front of the pale colossal beast. In comparison, their figures were incredibly tiny.

"You..." Mu Feixue wanted to speak.

"Don't speak," Yun Che whispered. He looked at the pale colossal beast and said, "Senior, as the esteemed sovereign of the Snow Song Beast Clan, why have you deigned to appear today and violate a small human city?"

BOOM!!

The pale colossal beast swung its massive arm, causing the firmament to tremble. Its voice, laced with fury, echoed throughout the surrounding snow region: "This King has never violated your human race, but in the past year, how many of this King's subjects have you slaughtered?! Despicable humans! You dare to question this King?!"

"..." Yun Che was speechless for a moment, wanting to retort: *Are you blind?! It was clearly the profound beasts that went mad and invaded human territory first!*

"Senior, please calm your anger for now," Yun Che said, raising a hand. "I believe you must have noticed that your subjects have been experiencing widespread emotional abnormalities over the past year, leaving their territories and attacking humans. We humans were also acting in self-defense..."

"Silence!" the pale colossal beast roared. "Regardless of the reason, nearly ten million of this King's subjects in this land have perished in just one year, and all of this is due to humans! How can this King stand by and do nothing?!"

"Then you'd better consider the consequences!" Since this king of the Snow Song beasts had left its territory, it was clearly in an uncontrollable rage; trying to appease its fury with words was impossible. Yun Che's face suddenly turned cold, and his tone became grim. "At your level, you should know what kind of person the Snow Song Realm King is! If you attack, she will certainly not remain indifferent. At that time... not only your subjects, but even you, will be buried here forever!"

"Since this King has already left its territory, I fear no consequences!" Yun Che's warning had no effect; instead, it only made the pale colossal beast angrier. "Our profound beast clan has suffered countless casualties, with our numbers dwindling in all directions... It is time for you humans to pay the price!!"

This pale colossal beast was clearly not affected by the crimson influence, but rather, its anger stemmed from the countless profound beasts rioting and perishing, their numbers gradually dwindling, which made it impossible for it to remain calm any longer.

Having delayed for so long was already beyond Yun Che's expectation. As the pale colossal beast's rage erupted, Yun Che's arm wrapped tighter around Mu Feixue, pulling her closer. He whispered, "Don't worry, you won't die."

Mu Feixue: "..."

"Alright, in that case..." Yun Che narrowed his eyes. "Of the profound beasts that intended to attack this human ice city earlier, I killed the most. Well, maybe a hundred thousand or so. Heh... You only showed up when I'd almost wiped them out. I suppose you're nothing but a coward!"

Yun Che's words, for the enraged pale colossal beast, were undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire, causing its deep blue beast eyes to turn several shades crimson.

"Since you want to seek revenge on us humans, then... if you have the guts, come and kill me first! Let me see if you have the ability!"

Amidst his roar, his profound energy exploded, rocketing out like thunder... He flew in the exact opposite direction of Phantasm Smoke City.

The Ice Phoenix disciples and city-guarding profound practitioners, who were fleeing at full speed, all turned their heads at that moment, seeing a streak of light rapidly flying into the distance... They knew Yun Che was using his life to buy them time to escape, and their hearts were deeply moved.

Of course, they didn't know that while Yun Che was indeed using himself as bait to lure the beast away, he wasn't actually in any life-threatening danger.

The pale colossal beast roared in fury, swinging its colossal claws. The firmament suddenly darkened, and countless ice peaks appeared out of thin air, flying towards Yun Che, who had instantly teleported far away with Mu Feixue.

However, in the very next instant, these ice peaks suddenly froze in place, then eerily vanished. The pale colossal beast, which was about to pounce, was also held motionless in the air as if suppressed by ten thousand mountains.
