Thus, an odd impasse ensued.
An Lin was a little confused. Was he really that terrifying?
Or could it be that the beast tribes had suddenly grown intelligent and refrained from charging into battles recklessly?
What he didn’t think of was how menacing he appeared to the groundhog, what with him holding a sword in one hand and a frying pan in the other…
Xu Xiaolan also rolled her eyes in exasperation upon seeing An Lin’s actions.
The groundhog before them did appear to be quite delicious, but it was a highly-intelligent life form. Wouldn’t it be far too cruel to eat something like this?
However, in reality, humans eating the flesh of the beast tribes and the beast tribes feasting on the flesh of humans was quite commonplace on the Tai Chu Continent. This was the reality of the food chain.
Everyone was at the top of the food chain.
If they didn’t want to be eaten, then they could only become stronger than others.
For example, if a Return to Void Stage beast was to die, its flesh could be eaten by a normal cultivator, upon which their cultivation base would receive a significant boost. Would they refuse to eat it just because the beast was a highly-intelligent life form? What a joke!
Even if you didn’t eat it, countless cultivators would fight for a chance to eat it!
Eating a beast to increase their cultivation base certainly wasn’t going to weigh on their conscience!
An Lin wondered just what sort of mentality would make people shy away from eating other highly-intelligent creatures.
There were also bizarre cultivators that refrained from eating creatures that looked like humans and found it much easier to eat other creatures in weird shapes and forms. At its core, this was just a strange concept that was somehow instilled in their minds.
However, there were even more extreme cultivators than that.
Some cultivators were completely disgusted by the very notion of eating highly-intelligent life forms.
There was a group of cultivators who refused to eat all living creatures regardless of whether they were highly-intelligent or not. Their justification for this was that all these creatures felt pain and emotions, so it would be cruel to eat them! All creatures should be born equal!
Thus, the Buddhist Kingdom of the West was born…
Everyone should become vegetarians!
The Buddhist mantra of benevolence and mercy should extend to all living creatures!
Apparently, there was even a group of cultivators in the Buddhist Kingdom that refused to even eat plants! Plants were life forms too!
If all life was born equal, then what right did they have to take away the plants’ right to live?
However, they couldn’t just eat nothing, right? That would just be a cult of mass starvation!
Thus, a Buddhist cultivating faction specializing in photosynthesis was born…
Just as Xu Xiaolan was being led completely astray by her train of thought, the groundhog jerked her back to reality.
The Peerless Saber Demon flared up with rage as it caught sight of the traveling frog standing beside An Lin. “Divine Poison Frog! Why are you standing together with a human? Are you trying to betray the Divine Bat Emperor?!”
The frog shuddered upon hearing this. What should it do? Both sides were far too powerful for it to mess with…
It had no choice but to devise an alternative ploy, which consisted of not saying anything and turning to the groundhog with a pitiful expression as tears streamed from its eyes.
These were speechless tears!
I have my difficulties, but I can’t tell anyone!
Sure enough, the groundhog’s imagination immediately went into hyperactivity as a series of possible scenarios welled up in its mind, upon which it switched targets from the frog to An Lin. “Human scum! Ahhhhhhh~~~!”
An Lin was a little dumbfounded. Why was it suddenly insulting him? Couldn’t they just have a cultured, sensible fight?
However, the groundhog’s roar really was quite intimidating as it whipped up gale-force winds and shattered the ground around it.
“Ahhhh~~~! Kill those two humans!”
The Peerless Saber Demon roared as the other five Soul Formation Stage soul beasts and Spirit Nurturing Stage spirit beasts unleashed mighty auras before charging toward An Lin!
An Lin was given a fright by this sudden turn of events as he slashed a massive black sword projection from his Evil-Slaying Sword toward the oncoming beast army.
However, an extremely powerful white saber projection also appeared at this moment before clashing with the black sword projection, upon which boundless light burst forth.
In the end, the sword projection and saber projection counteracted each other.
However, the Peerless Saber Demon had another saber, and a second saber projection instantly swept forth!
The saber projection pierced through space with unstoppable force before descending upon An Lin at extreme speed! The power imbued within the saber projection had already transcended beyond the realm of the Soul Formation Stage and reached a higher level!
An Lin’s expression shifted minutely. This groundhog really was quite powerful!
At the very least, it felt like he was being confronted by Dong Guo again.
Which meant that this Soul Formation Stage groundhog could probably fight on par with Dong Guo!
What a powerful groundhog!
Streams of white wind revolved around An Lin’s Evil-Slaying Sword as he blocked the groundhog’s second saber strike at a blinding speed.
In that instant, the remaining beasts had already converged toward them.
Xu Xiaolan’s aura soared, and the might of a paramount holy beast exploded forth, striking fear into all the beasts’ hearts.
The Dragon Sparrow Sword slashed through the air as Holy Vermilion Flames exploded into the sky and engulfed the entire group of beasts within.
Most of the beasts immediately hurtled back in retreat, but a few of them reacted too slowly and were incinerated to ashes.
Just one sword strike knocked back the entire army.
Only now did the Peerless Saber Demon realize that the other human cultivator was also extremely terrifying. There was a chance they would lose this battle!
“Retreat!” the groundhog roared.
All the beasts immediately fell back in retreat.
However, things were always extremely unpredictable in this bizarre world.
A pair of blue hands suddenly appeared above the galaxy of stars.
This was a flawlessly intricate, but infinitely massive pair of hands.
It was impossible to describe just how big this pair of hands were. In any case, there was nowhere one could look without seeing those hands. Even if one was to close their eyes, they would still be able to see the pair of blue hands in the darkness.
It existed within the starry night sky, as if it were the entire world.
However, at the same time, it didn’t seem to exist within the starry night sky, as if it were just an illusion.
The two hands positioned themselves, one high, one low, and the two sets of fingers slowly bent, as if something peculiar was going to appear between the two palms.
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and all the beasts’ expressions instantly shifted drastically upon seeing this.
This was the third phenomenon of the Vast Land of Blood, the Almighty Reversal!
This was a large scale attack that encompassed the entire world. When those unfathomable hands appeared, the entire world would be flipped upside down, upon which all living creatures were to fall into the starry sky!
Over ninety of the last group of a hundred beasts that had been deployed into the Vast Land of Blood died within the starry sky during an Almighty Reversal!
Suddenly, the hands began to slowly revolve around as the hand on the bottom switched positions with the hand on top.
Boom!
Heaven and earth began to drastically transform.
Immediately afterward, everyone felt an irresistible suction power from the starry sky.
The gravity on the ground began to disappear as heaven and earth began to reverse!
The inky-black earth became the dark, rocky sky.
The boundless starry sky began to condense to become the invisible earth!
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and all the beasts were all sucked toward the starry sky.
Heaven and earth really had reversed. They knew that they couldn’t resist the process, nor fly toward the black, rocky sky, or they would be oppressed by the sky!
