Lu Zheng had a complex expression as he gazed at the river. He could sense the distinct aura of time path.
There was no doubt in his heart. The river was a tributary of the River of Time.
The beasts in the tributary of the River of Time were all large and had rank eight aura. Lu Zheng knew they were day beasts.
The River of Time was the largest Secluded Domain of Heaven and Earth and it was also the strongest. It had been flowing since the very beginning of time itself.
Inside the River of Time were many beasts. Martial practitioners grouped them into three; day beasts, month beasts and year beasts.
The day beasts were the weakest. The weakest day beast was rank five and the strongest was rank nine. The month beasts were rank ten and above and the year beasts were rank twelve, rank thirteen and rank fourteen.
A rank fifteen beast would be equivalent to a Reverend. There were no existences in the world that could compare to a Reverend.
Although they were the weakest, no martial practitioner dared to ever look down on day beasts. They grew in the River of Time and had many time path dao imprints. Their battle strength was mind boggling.
Not even five Sky realm experts working together could kill a rank five day beast without suffering casualties.
Moreover, as beasts, their sheer physical strength was absurdly high. Only the Four Regal Bloodlines could compare to them.
The river beneath them was a tributary of the River of Time and was many times larger than the brook Lu Zheng saw at Red Claw Meadow.
The day beasts seemed to be enraged and began attacking the wall before them. Despite the fact that Lu Zheng had enhanced the earth path formation, the walls still trembled and produced jaw shattering sounds.
"Are we supposed to fight them?" Zheng Lie's face turned pale as the thought of attacking the day beasts crossed his mind.
"Hmph!" Lu Zheng snorted and used his wind path methods. A large blade of wind shuttled at astonishing speed from Lu Zheng's palm before extending to its full length.
"Swoosh!"
The Pulse Cutting Wave drew a deadly arc in the air before slashing towards a day beast ape.
The arc was incredibly fast but just as it was about to strike the day beast ape, its size reduced and it became slower. When it was only tens of metres from the day beast ape, it had become less than one tenth of its original length.
The day beast sensed the Pulse Cutting Wave and a look of disdain appeared on its face. It raised its burly arm that was as thick as the waists of ten grown adults to catch the Pulse Cutting Wave before directly crushing it.
When it opened its palm, only a small cut formed on its fingers. The day beast ape was relatively unharmed.
~Oh no! The suppression of the River of Time is affecting my wind path methods and creating a time path environment~
The River of Time was a time path Secluded Domain of Heaven and Earth. It suppressed the dao imprints of other paths.
Even with his immense strength, Lu Zheng was unable to even cut the fingers of a rank eight day beast ape.
Yet, Lu Zheng did not give up. He had the fragmented Qi fruit and could never lose a battle of attrition.
Techniques spiralled from his body like fireworks that rained down to the tributary of the River of Time. Fire Dragons formed with Vermillion Birds as thunder crackled and exploded. Wind path aura surged like a tsunami.
Lu Zheng used offensive methods time after time without losing momentum. His might sent everyone into awe.
The rest of the martial warriors were slapped into reality by Lu Zheng's ferocity. Why aren't we attacking?
The true might of Acquisition realm experts and Original realm experts was put on display as different techniques were hurled at the day beast ape. After a while, the day beast ape eventually succumbed to death.
Before they could rejoice, the rest of the day beasts roared in anger. The death of a comrade had incensed them.
The day beast roosters took to the skies and the day beast bull slammed itself into the fortress walls. Another day beast ape began to climb the walls and day beast rats attempted to chew through the formation.
The bestial ferocity of beasts was shown to all.
Everyone: "…"
Just as they killed one day beast, a myriad more began to attack. They were beginning to taste what despair was.
Lu Zheng shook his head and calmed his thoughts: "Immortal Star, Yiren Ning and Situ Pao, attack the day beasts rats. An Yin, Zheng Lie and Yu Er Dan should deal with the day beast roosters. Yong Bai Shun, go down and reinforce the walls and earth, make sure no day beast forces its way in. I and the rest will kill the remaining day beasts"
Lu Zheng's words were like a cold bucket of water on a sunny day. The martial warriors were immediately revitalised. Although panicky, the martial warriors took Lu Zheng's instructions to heart and began carrying them out.
An Yin who was the true leader wanted to refute Lu Zheng but he could not find any error in his judgement so he shut his mouth.
It was only a small motion but Lu Zheng noticed it and only snorted. This wasn't the time to aggravate little conflicts.
As Yu Er Dan flew to the sky in the space protected by the dome, she turned to face Lu Zheng who was already attacking a day beast bull and for some reason, she felt this man was quite handsome.
Lu Zheng did not know what she was thinking but he felt like he was being watched and turned to check. Sadly, Yu Er Dan had already begun to engage the day beast roosters.
