254: What are you barking at?
Although he didn't use his sharp claws, the immense power contained within Lin Tianwei’s tiger paw alone was enough to shatter the Cosmic Beast.
The power of both sides was no longer on the same level; only utter defeat awaited the Cosmic Beast.
The Cosmic Beast’s expression instantly changed.
It never imagined Lin Tianwei’s strength was so formidable.
So formidable that even its modified body was no match.
Even with a slight consumption of its essence, it couldn't evade Lin Tianwei’s attack.
Lin Tianwei already held a massive advantage by fighting a smaller opponent.
Now, it had nowhere to hide.
Bang!
With another loud crash, the Cosmic Beast’s body was sent flying by Lin Tianwei, like a ball.
The immense force caused the Cosmic Beast’s body to begin tearing apart even while it was still in the air.
How could Lin Tianwei’s tiger paw be so easily withstood?
In his peak condition, a single strike from Lin Tianwei’s paw could shatter the ground, unleashing battle damage akin to the sky collapsing and the earth rending.
Golden light.
Dazzling golden light began to flash; the Cosmic Beast was using its essence to repair its body.
However, before its body could even land, Lin Tianwei’s next attack had already arrived.
Lin Tianwei would never let this Cosmic Beast, which was wantonly causing havoc on his territory, go unpunished.
Lin Tianwei didn't care if the opponent was a dragon or a snake; as long as it was on his territory, any creature could only cower.
Thus, the people of Blue Star witnessed an incredibly bizarre scene.
The once arrogant Cosmic Beast was being mercilessly battered by Lin Tianwei like a mere plaything.
Relentless, merciless blows, striking the Cosmic Beast’s face until it was unrecognizable, completely unable to attend to the Death Ripple it had just released.
This situation infuriated the Cosmic Beast, and it roared, “Ant, you have succeeded, you have succeeded in enraging me.”
“I will make sure you die a terrible death!”
If the Cosmic Beast’s first threat had made everyone tremble, this time, it evoked a strange sense of amusement.
One must know that the Cosmic Beast was still being brutalized by Lin Tianwei at this moment; how could its threats possibly carry any deterrent power?
Not only did they lack any deterrent power, but they made everyone burst into laughter.
Even the fear of the Death Ripple was significantly diminished.
Such a useless creature couldn't possibly defeat the mighty and majestic Tiger King.
If that was the case, how could it even talk about devouring the entire Blue Star?
Boasting is one thing, but the most important thing is to have the strength to back it up.
It was like an incompetent ultimate champion who could do nothing but talk tough.
The roaring Cosmic Beast never imagined that it had already become a clown in everyone’s eyes.
A laughable clown.
The Cosmic Beast’s threats were disregarded even by humans, let alone by Lin Tianwei, who was currently brutalizing it?
Looking at the stubborn Cosmic Beast, Lin Tianwei found it utterly amusing and roared:
“What are you barking about, you mongrel eunuch dog?”
The phrases “mongrel eunuch dog” and “what are you barking about” directly hit the Cosmic Beast’s sore spot, making it incredibly furious.
Throughout its long existence, it had encountered countless opponents and tasted defeat, but never before had anything made it so angry.
Burning with rage, the Cosmic Beast fell silent; it knew it was no match for Lin Tianwei in terms of rhetoric.
It would use its strength to prove that it possessed the power to destroy this arrogant tiger.
Essence!
As long as the Cosmic Beast still possessed essence, it was an invincible existence.
Looking at its essence, which had recovered to 5%, a fierce glint flashed in the Cosmic Beast’s eyes.
Although doing this would consume a large amount of its essence, this trip to Blue Star could even be considered a losing venture.
But as long as it could eliminate this hateful tiger, the Cosmic Beast felt that falling back into slumber was a worthwhile price.
Anger had made the Cosmic Beast lose its reason; the only thought in its mind was to utterly destroy Lin Tianwei.
The golden light representing essence flashed once more.
A solid protective shield appeared around the Cosmic Beast, blocking Lin Tianwei’s attack.
Not only that, but it also used the recoil to swiftly retreat to a relatively safe location.
Specks of golden light began to shimmer within the Cosmic Beast’s body; this time, it intended to consume its essence without regard for cost to Reinforce its current temporary body.
As the essence continuously poured in, the Cosmic Beast’s body also began to undergo terrifying changes.
As if evolving, its body continuously elongated within the golden light, quickly growing into a massive upright monster.
Its height of 1,200 meters made it no weaker when facing Lin Tianwei, who was over a thousand meters long.
It even seemed to have a slight edge in aura.
Although the Cosmic Beast’s size was only slightly larger than Lin Tianwei’s.
The pressure exerted by a standing posture and a four-limbed stance was completely different.
From the front, the Cosmic Beast looked like a terrifying behemoth piercing the clouds.
Just standing there made people feel awe and unable to harbor any thoughts of resistance.
Pressure.
Immense pressure began to spread.
From the screen to beyond the screen.
MacArthur’s heart was like a roller coaster, rising and falling, filled with unease.
He never imagined that Lin Tianwei had just displayed his strongest form, crushing the Cosmic Beast with terrifying strength.
Now, the Cosmic Beast had revealed an even more powerful form, counter-suppressing Lin Tianwei.
MacArthur frowned, feeling that the future of Blue Star’s creatures might not be optimistic.
Could they truly defeat this terrifying Cosmic Beast?
He couldn't help but ask himself.
A deep sense of powerlessness swept over him.
MacArthur suddenly felt a profound hatred, hating his own incompetence and uselessness.
They seemed powerful, yet they couldn't help Lin Tianwei in the slightest.
They could only watch as Lin Tianwei fought the Cosmic Beast for the future of the entire Blue Star.
Even when at a disadvantage, Lin Tianwei showed no sign of retreating.
A sense of awe naturally arose.
MacArthur suddenly felt incredibly grateful, grateful that he could receive Lin Tianwei’s protection.
Even if this war ultimately ended in human failure, at least they had once seen hope and wouldn't be so desperate... Antarctica.
On the ice plain.
Lin Tianwei didn't know MacArthur had thought so much.
If he had, he would certainly have scoffed.
Fighting for them? Were they perhaps overestimating themselves a little?
Their importance in Lin Tianwei’s heart wouldn't be much higher than that of food.
However, even if they were just food, they were still Lin Tianwei’s food.
Lin Tianwei would never allow any random cat or dog to suddenly appear and snatch his food.
Moreover, the stronger the Cosmic Beast, the more excited Lin Tianwei became.
That meant the Cosmic Beast might drop an extremely powerful Talent for Lin Tianwei.
It was under the impetus of this thought that Lin Tianwei and the Cosmic Beast clashed to the death.
Looking at the Cosmic Beast, which was glowing with golden light, Lin Tianwei unhesitatingly launched an attack.
He was not one of those foolish villains who would watch an enemy evolve without intervention.
Striking a fatal blow while the enemy was immobilized was his tiger’s creed.
However, Lin Tianwei’s attack was destined to be in vain.
Because to stop Lin Tianwei’s attack, the Cosmic Beast had truly gone all out, using its essence as if it were limitless.
A seemingly fragile but indestructible Mental Power shield appeared around the Cosmic Beast, firmly protecting it.
Despite Lin Tianwei’s full effort, he still couldn't budge it an inch.
He could only continuously attack to weaken the Cosmic Beast’s essence.
Conservation of energy is the most fundamental law of the universe.
Every one of Lin Tianwei’s attacks could not be futile.
That was his step towards ultimate victory!
Under Lin Tianwei’s attack, the golden light on the Cosmic Beast intensified, and its body continuously elongated.
When the golden light representing its essence receded, the Cosmic Beast finally revealed its true form.
This was an upright beast, 1,200 meters tall.
Its thick hind limbs possessed immense strength, enough to support its massive body.
Its entire body was covered in large golden scales, shimmering with golden light under the sunlight.
A single horn was incredibly sharp, clearly possessing terrifying lethality.
Its tail, however, seemed to have atrophied, disappearing completely, relying entirely on its powerful hind limbs for support.
The most terrifying aspects were the Cosmic Beast’s hands, thick and powerful.
Its claws also gleamed with an unignorable cold light.
Its sharp teeth were incredibly chaotic and misaligned, making the Cosmic Beast appear even more ferocious.
These teeth, though lacking symmetrical beauty, were even more lethal.
A single bite would undoubtedly send a chill through one’s heart and cause blood to gush out.
Feeling the immense power contained within its newly evolved body, the Cosmic Beast was very satisfied.
This time, it would use its powerful physical strength to deal with this jumping clown before it.
As for Mental Power?
That, of course, was to continue pushing the Death Ripple to harvest lives on Blue Star.
Essence, only essence was what the Cosmic Beast craved.
If Lin Tianwei hadn't been so noisy, already affecting its progress in collecting essence.
It wouldn't even bother with Lin Tianwei’s attacks.
Thump, thump, thump… Every step of the Cosmic Beast left a deep crater in the ice plain.
Clearly, the ice plain was struggling to bear the Cosmic Beast’s weight.
Of course, the same situation applied to Lin Tianwei’s side.
The land was precarious, always at risk of falling apart due to the struggle of the two behemoths.
This was also why he didn't unleash his full power from the start.
Once he unleashed his full power, this land would be destroyed.
Although Lin Tianwei didn't care if this would damage Blue Star’s ecosystem.
He didn't particularly like water, so he naturally didn't want the ice plain to shatter and fall into the water for a Water Combat Ability.
However, the Cosmic Beast had no such qualms.
Despite its aggressive posture, it was actually just stalling for time.
Falling into the water?
As long as it could stall this tiger, its objective would be met.
It cared even less about Blue Star’s fate.
Soon, the two behemoths clashed once again.
However, this time, Lin Tianwei’s proud strength gained no advantage, even subtly showing signs of being at a disadvantage.
With each collision, Lin Tianwei retreated further and further.
In less than two minutes, he had already been forced to the shore by the Cosmic Beast.
Not only that, but in Lin Tianwei’s perception, the Death Ripple was activated again.
It was advancing towards the North Pole, under the terrified gazes of countless creatures.
Crossing the ocean, it was about to reach the Southern Hemisphere.
The vast number of creatures inhabiting this area were about to become sacrifices to the Death Ripple.
Furthermore, the essence frantically pouring into the Cosmic Beast could also enhance its strength.
Regardless of the reason, Lin Tianwei could no longer allow the Cosmic Beast to continue being so arrogant.
Thinking this, Lin Tianwei’s eyes hardened, and he made a difficult decision.
Mental Power Burst!
Terrifying Mental Power instantly erupted, like a scythe, unleashing an unstoppable strike towards the Cosmic Beast.
Lin Tianwei, taking advantage of the Cosmic Beast’s struggle to defend, slammed his paws into the ground, fiercely attacking the earth beneath him.
Suicide?
Of course not!
Lin Tianwei’s seemingly perplexing maneuver was his trump card.
The Cosmic Beast was, after all, a land creature, or rather, its current evolved state was that of a land creature.
Once the land shattered and was completely swallowed by the ocean, he, possessing the Talent: Water Combat Ability (Extraordinary), would gain the advantage.
This advantage could even allow him to turn the tables and gain a greater advantage in this battle.
Lin Tianwei’s actions were observed by the Cosmic Beast, but it showed no intention of stopping him.
As stated earlier, as long as it could buy time, it didn't care whether the battlefield was on the ocean or on land.
Being enveloped by the cold seawater would only prolong the battle, which suited its intentions perfectly.
However, the Cosmic Beast never imagined that its fearlessness would actually lead it into danger.
The seawater was a restraint for it, but not necessarily for Lin Tianwei.
Crack… That was the sound of the earth breaking.
The land beneath Lin Tianwei’s feet finally failed to withstand his attacks and began to shatter.
Several terrifying ravines, with Lin Tianwei at their center, spread outwards as Lin Tianwei’s tiger paws continuously struck the ground.
However, Lin Tianwei did not choose to fall into the water immediately.
Instead, he once again used his Speed Burst Talent, attacking the Cosmic Beast’s location at an extremely fast speed.
The Cosmic Beast was not a fool; how could it enter the water without reason?
If Lin Tianwei had entered the water first and the opponent chose to flee, that would truly be a net loss.
Facing Lin Tianwei’s proactive attack, the Cosmic Beast remained unhurried.
It not only withstood Lin Tianwei’s Mental Power shock but also launched its claws, carrying immense force, towards Lin Tianwei.
It clearly held the advantage now and had no fear of a head-on clash with Lin Tianwei.
As expected, even with the advantage of initiating, Lin Tianwei was no match for the Cosmic Beast.
When their claws clashed, Lin Tianwei was at a disadvantage.
He was not only directly sent flying, but his tiger claws were also numb, clearly having suffered internal injuries.
This terrifying behemoth from the cosmos, even not in its peak state, was still not an entity that Blue Star’s creatures could easily defeat.
However, despite the setback, a gleam flashed in Lin Tianwei’s eyes. (End of Chapter)
