Chapter 344: Chapter 309: Giant Beast Head

"Kill!"

On the island, within the dense forest.

Chen Hu wielded his long blade, instantly slashing out three arcs of Sword Qi, slicing a monkey-like Desolate Beast into two.

Beside him, hundreds of Martial Artists formed a defensive line, keeping the Desolate Beasts at bay.

Behind them, squads of archers continuously shot arrows, taking down one beast after another.

Luckily, this place was a mountain pass, flanked by cliffs on one side and sheer rock faces on the other. They had built a stronghold here to withstand the assaults of the Desolate Beasts.

"Master Hu! There are too many Desolate Beasts! Should we retreat?"

"Retreat? Where to?"

Chen Hu replied coldly, "We occupy this place and rely on the terrain to fend off the beasts. If we abandon even this place, we will truly become homeless strays!"

"There must be Cultivators from the Nether Spirit Race among these beasts. Kill them... and the beasts will retreat!"

"Find them! Locate the hidden Nether Spirit Race Cultivators among the beasts!"

"Yes, Master Hu!"

"There!"

"There’s another one!"

Exclamations sounded incessantly, Chen Hu’s eyes filled with intense murderous intent, and his figure suddenly disappeared from sight.

In the next moment, he appeared in front of a half-human, half-monkey figure.

With a slash of his long blade, even a ferocious tiger seemed to manifest, ready to devour.

"Pfft!"

The towering half-human, half-monkey madly beat its chest, swinging its fists fiercely at Chen Hu.

Unfortunately, its fist still hung in mid-air when Chen Hu’s blade had already sliced through.

"Pfft!"

In its incredulous gaze, its arms, along with its head, were directly severed by Chen Hu.

Warm blood spurted out, yet not a drop touched Chen Hu.

"Yuanfei!!!"

Amidst the beast hordes, someone screamed, Chen Hu’s eyes flashed, and he rushed into the beast crowd once more.

"Ah!"

"Human Cultivator!"

"It’s Chen Hu!"

"Quick, stop him!"

"How did his power suddenly become so powerful..."

Exclamations continued to ring out, and with every passing second, Cultivators from the Nether Spirit Race were being killed, causing chaos among the entire beast horde.

"Caw~!"

Just then, a hoarse and piercing screech resounded.

A black Nether Fire Crow, as large as an elephant, descended from the sky, its talons fiercely grasping at Chen Hu.

"Clang!"

The sharp, ear-piercing clash of iron resounded immediately, accompanied by a shower of dazzling sparks.

The massive Nether Fire Crow cried out in agony, with clear bloodstains appearing on its talons.

Meanwhile, Chen Hu’s form was flung violently backward, crashing into the beast crowd, causing several Desolate Beasts to be struck and covered in blood.

"Roar!"

The tiger-shaped Desolate Beasts roared angrily and pounced at Chen Hu.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"

Unexpectedly, several violent golden Sword Qis slashed through, easily slicing several Desolate Beasts into pieces.

Beneath the golden light, Chen Hu strode out.

On him appeared a golden armor!

This armor was shaped like a fierce tiger, with faint carvings of a myriad of beasts worshiping it, and numerous human figures, exuding a powerful and domineering aura.

He stepped forward, causing the surrounding Desolate Beasts to instinctively retreat, and even the ground beneath him displayed a clear fissure.

"Hahaha..."

"A myriad of beasts worship, Tiger Roar in the Forest!"

"I, Chen Hu... am the sole king of this realm, the strongest being!"

"Die!"

He roared fiercely, a golden tiger-shaped phantom suddenly enveloping him entirely.

His legs kicked off simultaneously, propelling himself skyward, transforming into a golden light, charging at the Golden Core Stage Nether Fire Crow.

"Die...!"

A thunderous shout echoed, causing the Golden Core Stage Nether Fire Crow to shudder, its soul feeling as if it had been punched hard, momentarily dazed.

And in that brief moment, Chen Hu seized the opportunity.

He swiftly closed in on the Nether Fire Crow, delivering a slash.

"Pfft!"

"Caw...!!"

The blade light flashed across, prompting a mournful cry from the Nether Fire Crow.

This slash nearly cleaved him in two.

Yet even so, his right wing and half of his chest were slashed with a massive wound, from which thick blood continuously gushed.

While Chen Hu gripped his blade with both hands, persistently pressing downward.

"Die!"

"Caw...!!"

The Nether Fire Crow screamed in pain once more, gathering its last ounce of strength, frenziedly flapping its enormous wings.

One man and one crow ascended into the sky.

"Chen Hu!"

The Nether Fire Crow’s hoarse cry rang out: "Daring to wound this king so severely, I will kill you, kill you...!"

"Boom!"

In an instant, a scarlet flame erupted from the Nether Fire Crow, ensnaring both of them.

This scarlet flame was the innate ability of the Nether Fire Crow race, which could be unleashed even without Nether Spirit Qi by burning their Essence Blood.

For a Golden Core Stage Nether Fire Crow to fiercely unleash this life-risking ability, it was testament to the terrifying strength of Chen Hu.

"Master Hu!"

"Lord Crow King!"

"Master Hu..."

Exclamations echoed from the mountain, but the slaughter continued unabated, with no one paying attention to the life-and-death battle overhead.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom!!"

"Rumble...!!!"

And at that moment, as the Canglan Human Race and Desolate Beasts battled fiercely, the earth beneath them suddenly began to shake!

No!

It should be said that the entire island, the entire sea area suddenly began to quake!

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom!"

In the eyes of countless shocked individuals, the ground beneath them exploded and cracked, with massive stones and trees rising skyward.

Huge fissures appeared on the ground.

Many Desolate Beasts and the Canglan Human Race, unable to dodge in time, screamed as they were swallowed by the fissures.

The mountains nearby were the same; gigantic boulders rolled down from the peaks, crushing countless individuals.

In the distance, the black sea suddenly became violent, raising one massive wave after another, fiercely pounding against the sea surface.

On the sand, many people engaged in battles with Desolate Beasts were submerged by the roaring tsunami.

"Earthquake!"

"Run!"

"It’s an earthquake! Run..."

"Tsunami! The tsunami is coming!"

"Quick! Head to the mountains! To the mountains!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Rumble..."

The deafening roar continued to echo, and the entire island shook wildly.

Meanwhile, in midair, Chen Hu disregarded the burning scarlet flames on him, fiercely stomping on the Nether Fire Crow, kicking its entire form away.

Using the impact to propel further upward, he bizarrely floated in midair.

He gaped at the island below, exclaiming, "Earthquake? How can there be an earthquake on Spiritless Island?"

"I’ve been here for over twenty years..."

He gazed into the distance, where the other two islands were similarly affected, and the surrounding smaller islands had already been submerged by the sea.

Numerous homeless Cultivators and Desolate Beasts scattered and fled, desperately racing toward the mountain peaks.

The island he was on was the smallest, but even so, it was the earthquake’s epicenter, shaking wildly like the other two islands.

"Huh... what’s that?"

Chen Hu’s pupils contracted sharply, instinctively looking toward the eastern Nether Spirit Sea.

In that direction, a colossal head gradually rose from the sea, practically occupying his entire view!

"What... what is that creature...!!!"
