Ch. 479 - The Ten God Beasts

For a while, the two monsters were evenly matched. Jiang Li walked up to Xu Zimo.

He bowed respectfully and said, “Thank you, Young Master Xu, for helping us.”

“It was the one who provoked me first,” Xu Zimo waved his hand and replied calmly.

Jiang Dianfeng also walked over and quietly asked Jiang Li about Xu Zimo's background, then bowed in gratitude as well.

Only Swordless, with his heavily injured body, leaned silently against a stone on the mountain ruins, watching the battle in the sky.

He ignored the blood flowing from his wounds and the pain, as if he couldn’t feel anything at all.

...

In the sky, the two monsters were fully locked in battle, fighting with everything they had.

Even Chaos had suffered some injuries.

Seeing this, Xu Zimo realized the Blood Rune Beast still had plenty of fight left.

He frowned slightly, its toughness had exceeded his expectations.

With a wave of his right hand, another spatial gate opened.

A series of roars echoed from within the portal.

One by one, beasts rushed out wildly from the gate.

Nine beasts emerged: Qiongqi, Roar, Taotie, Dark Snake, Arcane Bird, Taowu, Bi'an, Ice Armored Horned Demon Dragon, and Ghost Carriage.

When these nine God Beasts appeared, their combined aura blanketed the sky.

The pressure was overwhelming and suppressed the entire area.

Including Chaos, they made up the Ten God Beasts of the Desolate Era.

Xu Zimo had trained them extensively in his true destiny world, and thanks to past experience, they cultivated extremely fast.

Though not yet at the Immortal Realm, they had all reached the God Meridian Realm.

Under the development of the God World, the beast race established by Chaos had become a top-tier force.

Truly blessed by nature.

As the nine desolate beasts appeared, the Blood Rune Beast was stunned.

Chaos roared into the sky and shouted at it furiously.

“I’ll give you two choices, solo fight or group fight? One-on-ten? Or ten-on-one?”

The Blood Rune Beast took a small step back and roared fiercely at the ten beasts.

Then it turned and fled without looking back.

Seeing this, Chaos couldn’t let it escape.

Its massive wings flapped, and it dove from the sky, grabbing the beast’s back with its claws, leaving deep, bloody gashes.

The other nine God Beasts charged all at once, surrounding and tearing into the Blood Rune Beast.

...

The Blood Rune Beast roared in pain, fighting back with all its might, but its strength was no match for the combined force of ten God Beasts.

Even two fists can’t beat four hands, let alone ten ancient beasts.

Before long, its roars turned into painful cries.

Its body was soaked in blood, and its resistance grew weaker.

“You just wait! When the Blood Rune Race breaks the seal, none of you will escape!”

The beast howled.

“You’re welcome to come for revenge. My name is Baili Chengfeng. The Baili Imperial Clan of the Eastern Continent awaits you,”

Xu Zimo declared boldly, full of righteousness.

As his words fell, the Blood Rune Beast screamed, and was torn to pieces by the Ten God Beasts.

Once they devoured its body, they returned to Xu Zimo’s True Fate World.

With the Blood Rune Beast dead, the surroundings grew silent.

The sky was blue and clear. A breeze blew gently from the mountain peak.

Everyone finally let out a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground, enjoying the brief peace.

Jiang Li and Jiang Dianfeng walked over and bowed once more to Xu Zimo.

“Thank you, Young Master Xu, for saving our Jiang Clan.”

“It was nothing,” Xu Zimo shook his head slightly.

“Young Master Xu, I have an unworthy request. I don’t know if I should say it,” Jiang Dianfeng said.

“You’ve already said that much. You think I’ll stop you from speaking?” Xu Zimo smiled.

“Go ahead.”

“The seal on the Blood Rune Realm is at its final stage. If the Blood Rune Race really breaks free, the entire world will suffer,”

Jiang Dianfeng said.

“But our Jiang Clan is weak. I’m seriously injured and don’t have much time left. Meeting Young Master Xu today gave me hope again. Would you be willing to be the hero who saves the world from disaster? From now on, the Jiang Clan will follow your lead and obey your every word.”

“What does the world have to do with me?” Xu Zimo turned and asked plainly.

“With your strength, I believe someone like you must also have a sense of responsibility deep down. What you do in the future will be remembered for generations. People will even build statues of you and tell your story for centuries to come,”

Jiang Dianfeng said passionately.

“To stop the Blood Rune Race and save the people of this world, that’s a rare accomplishment, even in the Imperial Era.”

Xu Zimo grinned and said, “Sorry to disappoint you. I’m not that kind of man. Honestly, I’m selfish and petty. Aside from my family, I don’t care whether others live or die. If I help them, it’s because I’m kind. If I don’t, no one has the right to judge me from a moral high ground. Plenty of people want to be heroes, go ask them. I’m just a regular guy. Let’s part ways here. May we never meet again.”

After saying that, Xu Zimo turned and left Sword-Casting Mountain.

Jiang Dianfeng stared at his back in a daze.

He wanted to say something, but hesitated, and in the end, said nothing.

...

“Ancestor,” Jiang Li walked over, hesitant to speak.

“I know what you want to say. Now that the Three Sects are without leaders, it’s time for our Jiang Clan to strike back. It’s probably the last thing I can do for the family,”

Jiang Dianfeng said, gazing into the distance at Xu Zimo’s fading figure.

He sighed, “Where is the Jiang Clan’s way forward?”

Everything he had said earlier was just to appeal to Xu Zimo’s sense of righteousness, hoping to tie him to the Jiang Clan’s fate.

Based on what Xu Zimo had shown, he could only think of one phrase: “Limitless future.”

As for saving the world, the Jiang Clan couldn’t even protect itself. How could they save others?

Let the people of the world save themselves.

He hadn’t expected Xu Zimo to be so blunt in his rejection.

But there’s always a path ahead, who can say what the future holds?

...

After leaving Sword-Casting Mountain, Xu Zimo was ready to depart from the Northern Continent and head to the Endless Sky Sea to search for the Solar-Illumination.

His relationship with the Jiang Clan was nothing more than mutual benefit.
