311: Raging Behemoth

In an ancient mountain range.

Xu Yuan was roasting a giant leg, about a zhang long, over a fire. Beside him, a furry, ox-shaped creature stared at the bonfire, its eyes wide in death.

This was a Black Demonic Brute Ox, a type of Yao Beast from the Yao Race's bovine species, an ancient exotic beast whose cultivation had reached the Perfection of a Quasi-Emperor. Yet, now it had become Xu Yuan's food.

The most tragic thing in an ox's life is to die and then be eaten as food!

"Roar!!!"

Just then, a furious roar came from a distant place.

"Thump-thump-thump!"

"Woo-woo-woo!"

Following closely was a series of earth-shaking footsteps, and a multitude of Yao Beasts fled in panic towards the distance.

Xu Yuan looked curiously in that direction, only to see a vast mist rising in the distance, blurring the mountain scenery as if it were a scene of Chaos.

"Rumble!"

The footsteps grew closer and closer, and Xu Yuan finally saw the approaching figure. It was a colossal beast, shrouded in black mist, exuding a terrifying Aura. Each step it took shook the mountains and valleys.

Wherever it went, it committed monstrous slaughter. The pervasive mist seemed capable of corroding everything; where it passed, plants withered, and all Yao Beasts turned into dry bones.

As if sensing Xu Yuan's gaze, the giant beast's lamp-like, eerie green eyes stared fixedly at Xu Yuan, its Berserk Aura soaring into the sky, stirring the firmament for millions of miles.

"Human Race!!!"

A low growl, utterly grim, like a clap of thunder, burst from the giant beast's mouth, shaking the entire sky!

"Berserk Behemoth!"

Xu Yuan was surprised; he hadn't expected to encounter a Behemoth Clan member here.

The Berserk Behemoth Clan is one of the myriad races of the Nine Heavens. This race has a gigantic physique, with two tusks protruding upwards from its mouth, making its face extremely hideous and ugly. It resembles an ape, so people often mistake them for the Ape Race.

But that is not the case. The Berserk Behemoth Clan is far more powerful than ordinary ape-like creatures. This race can fight True Dragons. It is said that they were not evolved by heaven and earth, but rather a race created by a supreme existence in a distant era.

Consequently, they lack innate spirituality, are naturally Berserk and bloodthirsty. Not to mention towards other races, they are extremely cruel even to their own kind, often erupting in battle.

Of course, this excludes the opposite gender of their own kind.

This also leads to the scarcity of the Berserk Behemoth Clan members.

"The Human Race deserves to die!"

Upon seeing Xu Yuan, this Berserk Behemoth was extremely furious. He had been imprisoned here for five hundred eras, which was a torment for a powerhouse like him.

After all, with his strength, he could have roamed freely in the outside world, perhaps even achieving a Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm. Instead, he was captured by a Great Emperor of the Human Race and thrown in here.

For five hundred full eras in this cage, he could only pass the time by sleeping. When agitated, he would emerge to hunt and kill creatures, then return to sleep.

So, upon sensing the Aura of the Human Race, he immediately awoke from his slumber and headed straight for the ancient Human Race city.

He wanted to slaughter, to madly slaughter the Human Race Prodigies. He wanted to make the Human Race suffer, and he even wanted to seize the Human Race's destiny to escape from this cage.

In these three months, he had already killed many Human Race Prodigies.

Now, seeing Xu Yuan, his murderous intent did not diminish but rather intensified significantly.

"Roar!!!"

With a great roar, terrifying sound waves swept forth. In an instant, fierce winds howled, rocks flew, and wherever they passed, mountains collapsed, and all living beings were annihilated.

"Clang~"

The response he received was a sword slash, like a strike that could cleave the heavens, sweeping across.

"Boom!"

The two clashed. The sword slash shattered the sound waves, and the Berserk energy engulfed the sword slash. Like an apocalypse, a terrifying energy shockwave erupted, spreading in all directions and destroying entire divine peaks!

"Roar!"

Thump-thump-thump!

The Berserk Behemoth ignored the shockwave and strode towards Xu Yuan. A ferocious Aura swept through the Nine Heavens. When he was ten thousand li from Xu Yuan, he extended a massive claw, covering the sky and earth as it grabbed towards him.

"Instantaneous Sword!"

One sword strike, in an instant, could sever everything, unstoppable by anyone.

"Clang!"

The giant claw and the Instantaneous Sword collided in the Void Realm. The sky seemed to be torn open, black mist for millions of miles dissipated, and various sword lights and black lights burst forth, engulfing heaven and earth.

"Human Race brat, you have some strength!"

After one strike, the Berserk Behemoth did not continue to attack. His eerie green beast eyes stared at Xu Yuan and said.

"I'll give you a chance, submit to me, and I'll spare your life!"

He had already seen that Xu Yuan's strength was extremely formidable, and such a Prodigy was perfect to be his pawn. He wanted the other party to seize destiny, and then he would use his means to snatch the destiny, thus achieving the status of a Great Emperor.

At that time, he could escape from this cage.

Then, he would plunge the Human Race into terrible disaster.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan lazily said, "What kind of creature is a mere beast? How dare you demand this young master's submission? If you submit to me, perhaps I might spare you!"

"Sharp-tongued Human Race brat, let me show you my methods!"

The Berserk Behemoth wasn't angry. Prodigies, after all! They always have some arrogance! Over the long years, he had long learned to think with his brain.

He roared loudly, clapped his hands together, and chanted under his breath.

"Boom~~~"

Strands of terrifying Dao rhyme surged out, and countless living beings trembled upon feeling this Aura!

"Rumble!"

As the terrifying Dao rhyme surged into the sky, it transformed into a sky-obscuring giant claw, like the hand of a Great Emperor, reaching out to seize Xu Yuan.

Clearly, although this Berserk Behemoth's cultivation had not achieved a Breakthrough, he had already comprehended the Great Dao, comparable to a Great Emperor.

"Good timing!"

"Open!!!"

Xu Yuan laughed loudly. Strands of terrifying Dao rhyme fell like a celestial river, then intertwined like divine chains, forming a supreme light curtain. Immediately after, a majestic, sky-supporting ethereal figure stepped out from within it.

The sky-supporting ethereal figure took a step, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the heavens, sitting equally with all Emperors, looking down upon heaven and earth!

Seeing the Berserk Behemoth's giant claw, he extended a hand, in a sky-propping stance, to resist the grabbing giant claw!

"Boom!!!"

As the two collided, heaven and earth collapsed, stars fell, and an invincible Aura, spanning millions of miles, swept across the land, causing everything to shatter. Under this single strike, no living being could escape, instantly torn into a bloody mist.

After one strike, both the Great Emperor's claw and the sky-supporting ethereal figure vanished.

Seeing this, the Berserk Behemoth's expression changed. Xu Yuan's power exceeded his imagination.

"Impossible! How can the Human Race have such a strong Prodigy as you?"

The Berserk Behemoth found it hard to imagine and questioned aloud.

"You are weak, so you find it unbelievable!"

"Unless you see the Nine Heavens above, how can you know this young master's strength!"

Xu Yuan's gaze was cold, his posture tall and straight, his divine might unparalleled. Behind him, a vast Sword Dao hung across the sky, its sword light brilliant and pervasive, illuminating the heavens. At this moment, he was like a peerless divine devil, looking down on all directions.

"You're courting death!!!"

Upon hearing this, a bone-chilling coldness appeared in the Berserk Behemoth's eyes, and he instantly flew into a towering rage.

He had thought highly of Xu Yuan, wanting to use him as a pawn, but the other party's arrogance and mockery were just like the Great Emperor who had captured him back then—lofty and disdainful!

This instantly shattered his already limited patience with fury!

"Die! Taste my wrath!"
