Chapter 4140: Chaos Beast Legion

Deep in the Wolan Mountains, in a giant valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, dozens of seven-colored Chaos Beasts at the Gold Immortal stage gathered.

A sharp roar echoed as Falcon flew in. It was the leader of the Wolan Tribe, an eight-colored Chaos Beast at the Grand Unity Gold Immortal stage. "Greetings, Priest Falcon."

The dozens of seven-colored Chaos Beasts spoke in unison.

"By the command of Lord Cobalt, we are to conquer Cloud Roam City. Hao and Sheng, you will lead the attack on the Profound City controlled by the Murong family. Murong Yilong has mastered the Laws and cultivated a peak True Spirit. You are all evolutionaries, so dealing with him should be no problem. Yue is also an evolutionary; lead the attack on the Profound City controlled by the Wang family... and Shan, lead the attack on the Profound City controlled by the Blood Vine tribe."

Falcon spoke slowly, assigning tasks to each tribe, including plans for how to retreat and which routes to take after capturing immortals.

A seven-colored Chaos Beast asked, "Priest Falcon, why have we waited so long to attack the immortals? They must have prepared many things to deal with us, such as Immortal Slaying Cannons and Immortal Slaying Arrows."

Falcon's voice was cold. "We have captured so many immortals; it takes time to digest them. If our kin evolve, they also need time to adapt; they cannot be immediately thrown into battle. The longer the delay, the more advantageous it is for us. We've delayed long enough; it's time to deal with them. This time, we will teach them a greater lesson. If the Nangong Immortal Clan continues to be cowards, that will suit our intentions perfectly."

The seven-colored Chaos Beasts agreed respectfully.

Not long after, loud roars echoed from deep within the Wolan Mountains, rising and falling, as massive numbers of Chaos Beasts surged out.

Millions of Chaos Beasts surged towards Cloud Roam City, dispersing midway to head for different cities. This was just the Wolan Tribe; several other Chaos Beast tribes of the same level had also mobilized, heading for numerous Earth Cities such as Five Immortals City, Sky Roar City, and Mayfly City.

With so many Chaos Beasts mobilized, it was naturally impossible to hide their movements from the immortals. Some immortals spotted the Chaos Beast army and immediately reported it using their Immortal Transmission Mirrors.

In Cloud Roam City, the streets were teeming with people and bustling with traffic.

In a palace with tightly shut gates, a golden plaque read 'Myriad Immortals Hall'. Two True Immortal cultivators stood guard at the entrance. Wang Changsheng and over a thousand other immortals were gathered in a spacious and brightly lit hall, where bidding voices echoed ceaselessly.

Jin Lei held a small, golden, shimmering shield and announced loudly, "This is a Mid-grade Immortal Artifact, the Qianjin Shield. The starting price is fifty five-colored Chaos Beast core crystals from the True Immortal stage, with each bid incrementing by no less than five."

"Fifty!" "Fifty-five!" "Sixty!"

The price climbed steadily. Wang Changsheng had no interest; he no longer valued ordinary Mid-grade Immortal Artifacts.

The Qianjin Shield was ultimately bought by Revered Soul Shatterer for three hundred and forty five-colored core crystals.

After the Qianjin Shield was sold, Jin Lei flipped his right hand, revealing an exquisite golden jade box. He opened it to show three pills gleaming with a precious light.

"A Second-grade Dao Pill!" Revered Soul Shatterer exclaimed, his eyes burning with eagerness.

Wang Changsheng and the other Gold Immortal cultivators stared intently at the golden jade box in Jin Lei's hand, their faces filled with anticipation. "Three Second-grade Dao Pills, each containing the Law of Water..."

Before Jin Lei could finish speaking, a sudden alarm blared: "Enemy attack! Chaos Beasts are attacking! Immediately suspend the auction!" At these words, the cultivators present erupted in an uproar, their expressions varied.

They had never imagined that the Chaos Beasts would attack the city at this precise moment; they picked quite a time! Some immortals looked tense, while others appeared relaxed.

Wang Changsheng frowned, wondering if Cao Mingjing would allow them to return to Azure Lotus City.

The main doors opened, and a loud male voice announced: "All Gold Immortal cultivators, report to the city walls immediately to assist in defense! True Immortal cultivators, return to defend your own posts!"

The alarm echoed throughout Cloud Roam City, and all cultivators hurried with tense expressions.

Wang Changsheng, Murong Yilong, Yu Weiwei, and other Gold Immortal cultivators flew to the city walls. They looked out beyond the city, simultaneously drawing a sharp breath. Tens of thousands of colored Chaos Beasts had gathered outside the city, the weakest being four-colored. Four Grand Unity Gold Immortal stage Chaos Beasts led the charge: one eight-colored and three seven-colored. The leader was indeed Falcon.

Unlike previous attacks, there was a squad of Chaos Beasts resembling porcupines, their bodies covered in sharp quills. Many other Chaos Beasts carrying weapons were also visible.

Wang Changsheng carefully observed that numerous Chaos Beasts were gathered around the colored Chaos Beasts, ranging from thirty to fifty in number, encompassing various forms such as flying types, beast-humanoids, and tiger-shaped beasts.

"Chaos Beast Legion!" Murong Yilong exclaimed, his expression growing even graver. Immortals had Immortal Armored Troops, and now Chaos Beasts had legions.

Only Chaos Beasts capable of speech were qualified to join a legion for better coordination. They were commanded by evolved Chaos Beasts, demonstrating skilled cooperation, very different from other Chaos Beasts.

A dignified male voice resonated. Cao Mingjing appeared on the city wall, looking calm and confident. "It's just a motley legion; the number of evolved Chaos Beasts isn't large enough to be a concern." Chaos Beast legions were categorized into motley and core, corresponding to the immortals' Immortal Armored Troops and True Spirit Legions.

Motley Chaos Beast legions were commanded by evolved Chaos Beasts, but most of the Chaos Beasts under them were ordinary ones, just with more colors. In contrast, every single Chaos Beast in a core Chaos Beast legion was an evolutionary. The strength of the two types was not on the same level.

Nangong Yuefei flew over and landed beside Cao Mingjing, saying, "Fellow Daoist Cao, let the Gold Immortal cultivators from the Profound Cities under Cloud Roam City's jurisdiction return to defend their own cities! They won't be of much help here; it's enough for them to defend their own Profound Cities. I will assist you in dealing with these."

Cao Mingjing was delighted that Nangong Yuefei was willing to help and readily agreed.

Cao Mingjing instructed, "Young Friend Murong, Young Friend Wang, Young Friend Yu, you may return! Kill as many Chaos Beasts as you can, and if you truly cannot hold your ground, then retreat!"

"Yes, Senior Cao!" Wang Changsheng and the other Gold Immortal cultivators agreed in unison and immediately departed, not daring to linger.

If they couldn't defend their Profound Cities, they could still escape. But if they stayed here and Cloud Roam City was breached, it would be difficult for them to flee. As Wang Changsheng teleported back to Azure Lotus City, Chaos Beasts were already attacking, and the city's alarm blared loudly.

Tens of thousands of colored Chaos Beasts rushed towards Azure Lotus City from all directions, while hundreds of flying Chaos Beasts hovered in the sky. "Evolved Chaos Beast!"

Wang Changsheng frowned, his gaze falling upon a beast-humanoid seven-colored Chaos Beast that wielded a black spiked club.

This time, there were seven seven-colored Chaos Beasts, led by an evolved seven-colored Chaos Beast. If it merely possessed a weapon, it would be manageable, but if it also wielded Laws, it would be far more difficult to deal with.

Yang Chunqiu stood outside the city, continuously emitting a purple aura from his body. Simultaneously, a massive purple cloud floated high above. The purple cloud churned and surged, pouring down large, pea-sized purple raindrops. When these drops landed on True Immortal stage Chaos Beasts, they immediately emitted a wisp of green smoke. Chaos Beasts below five colors, struck by the purple raindrops, bled profusely, letting out screams as they visibly disintegrated into bloody mist.

Minor Attainment in the Law of Poison!

After Yang Chunqiu advanced to the Gold Immortal stage, thanks to his great fortune, the Wang family allowed him to enter the Enlightenment Pagoda to cultivate Laws. He successfully cultivated his Law to Minor Attainment. Other guest elders did not receive this privilege, which spurred them on, making them eager to achieve great merits and gain the same treatment as Yang Chunqiu.
