The Prodigies War-Chapter 2173 A Disaster Caused by BBQ?

Lin Xun’s fort looked completely different three days later.

Every inch of the bull-like cosmic beast’s humongous corpse had been fully utilized by him.

Its bones and skin were refined into a set of 4,900 formation flags and deployed around the fort. While cultivating, they could serve as a large aeth gathering formation.

In battle, they could be rearranged into the Killing Array of Perishment.

The array’s power source was the chaos qi extracted from the cosmos, which allowed the Killing Array of Perishment to be operated at full capacity for fifteen minutes.

Regretfully, the law power of the Great Wall of Thousand Daos was too supreme and cryptic to be utilized. Otherwise, the Killing Array of Perishment’s power would be multiplied many fold.

The cosmic beast’s blood and internal organs were extracted and refined into ninety-nine blood essence pills. The pills were comparable to dao essence crystals and could rapidly replenish one’s energy.

Lin Xun refined the teeth and horn into a set of bone swords, engraving each of them with intricate rune patterns.

It was a pity that no external objects and forces could be used on the great wall.

As a result, Lin Xun couldn’t retrieve his vast collection of divine materials and was greatly limited when crafting the set of bone swords.

In other words, the bone swords could only be considered an incomplete product.

Lin Xun planned to hunt more cosmic beasts in the future to continue refining the set of bone swords.

As for the bull-like cosmic beast’s meat...it was used as food.

In short, a cosmic beast comparable to the second realm Emperor Stage was akin to a giant treasure trove. After some casual processing, one would obtain a tremendous amount of Emperor-grade divine materials.

An enticing aroma of barbecue wafted through the air. A row of skewers were lined atop a bonfire blazing in front of the fort. As they were roasted by the flames of the All-Wonder Dao Fire, the tender meat gradually became brown and oily. Some air-dried scale powder was sprinkled on them for seasoning, causing a mouth-watering aroma to fill the air.

Lin Xun squatted in front of the fire, fully focused on grilling meat.

Although the cosmic beast meat was incredibly delicious, it was also extremely tough. Hence, only an extremely domineering flame like the All-Wonder Dao Fire could slowly bring out its natural essence bit by bit.

Lin Xun’s appetite stirred due to the fragrant aroma. It had been many years since he invested such focus into grilling meat...

Soon, Lin Xun skillfully retrieved one of the meat skewers. As he bit into it, the taste buds on the tip of his tongue seemed to loosen as the delicious taste of the grilled meat steamed in his mouth, making Lin Xun squint in pleasure.

He never imagined that the cosmic beast meat could be so delicious. His only regret was that there wasn’t enough seasoning or the meat would taste even better.

"If only there was alcohol as well..." Lin Xun sighed. He had a wine gourd, but the problem was that he couldn’t retrieve it in the Nirvana of Transcendence.

"Kid...gasp, that meat looks pretty good..."

Battle Emperor Fengling's voice sounded from the adjacent fort, his eyes nearly popping from their sockets as he swallowed deeply. His divine spirit sense could smell the tempting fragrance of the grilled meat far better than his own physical senses.

He exclaimed, "Such an ingredient has to be the best any world can offer. If we add some heavenly red pepper powder, brush on a layer of five flavor oil refined from a quasi-Emperor Stage Bashe Snake’s inner core, and finally sprinkle a dash of star frost purple salt from Dongxuan World, the taste will definitely be even better."

He was practically drooling as he spoke.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but be surprised. The old man was definitely a top-tier foodie. After all, no ordinary person could possibly be so particular and knowledgeable about ingredients and condiments.

Battle Emperor Fengling quickly said, "My dear friend, please leave some of the meat for me. When the Nirvana of Transcendence is over, I will give you treasures in exchange for them.

"Save a few of the bones as well. I bet that they’ll make a very nourishing soup.

"Hmm, where’s the kidney? I hope you didn’t throw it away, heh heh, that thing is very precious and should be left to me as well..."

Lin Xun: "??"

He almost suspected that Battle Emperor Fengling was from the Taotie Clan[1] and was cultivating his dao through the art of cooking...

Lin Xun casually asked while eating a skewer, "Dao friend, are you trying to get food from me?"

Battle Emperor Fengling made a strange noise and said, "That's not it. I was just bored and wanted to chat."

Lin Xun continued chewing the meat, "Sure then, go on."

Battle Emperor Fengling swallowed again as he watched Lin Xun enjoy his food.

He took a deep breath, swallowed, and said in a slightly peeved voice, "Can you stop eating first? Are you deliberately trying to tempt me?"

Lin Xun swiftly consumed everything like a whirlwind. He comfortably picked his teeth with a thin bone and said, "Okay, I’m done. What do you want to talk about?"

Battle Emperor Fengling tried to begin again but couldn’t bring himself to speak. In the end, angrily muttered, "What the point, I'm not interested anymore. Let's talk next time."

Lin Xun chuckled. Old man Fengling was rather cute.

At this moment, a giant pack of shadows suddenly emerged from the depths of the cosmos, covering the twinkling stars.

Battle Emperor Fengling’s voice sounded in surprise, "Eh! The small-scale beast wave was just three days ago, why is another one happening now?"

Lin Xun asked, "Is that unusual?"

"In the past seven years, a beast wave would occur at most once every seven days. Sometimes, not a single beast would be spotted in half a month."

At this point, Battle Emperor Fengling suddenly yelped in a strange manner, "Wait, why are there so many cosmic beasts this time?"

Deep in the cosmos, numerous black shadows spread outwards like thick black ink. As they approached, the bodies of the black shadows grew larger and larger...

They flooded the cosmos like the tide, blotting out the stars wherever they passed.

Lin Xun's pupils contracted. There were at least several hundred of them! This was already considered a rare large-scale beast wave!

"Damn it, another tough battle is about to occur!"

"A beast wave of this magnitude always results in casualties..."

"Crap, get ready for battle!"

Every Emperor expert on the great wall was alerted by the disturbance and their expressions rapidly turned grave.

A beast wave of such scale had only occurred a handful of times over the past seven years. Every one of these large-scale waves had been accompanied by death!

The atmosphere became rather stifling.

Soon, waves of law power began to rise from the great wall that stretched across the cosmos like a long defensive line.

"Young friend, you need to be extra careful this time." Battle Emperor Fengling’s expression was graver than ever.

He could already see several cosmic beasts rushing in their direction. Each of them gave off ferocious and cold auras which would make anyone’s scalp tingle in fear.

Lin Xun nodded and stood up. He walked in front of the fort, his clothes fluttering wildly around his upright figure.

"Crap! Why are these brutes heading towards us?"

Battle Emperor Fengling soon realized something was off. His pupils contracted in alarm, unable to believe what he was witnessing.

Lin Xun also sensed that something was wrong. The horde of cosmic beasts was swarming towards him like sharks that had smelled blood.

It was a scene that would make anyone despair!

The experts distributed across the Great Wall of Thousand Daos also noticed the strange scene, which left them bewildered and confused.

What was going on?

After seven years of dealing with cosmic beasts, every Emperor expert knew that while these ferocious creatures were extremely powerful, they didn’t have any semblance of intelligence and seemed to be directed only by instinct.

However, they were now charging at the same place together. It was something that had never happened before.

Rumble!

On the Great Wall of Thousand Daos, law power gathered into a raging torrent and blasted toward the cosmos. In an instant, it scattered the several-hundred-strong group of cosmic beasts.

Evidently, the great wall’s law power had also sensed the danger and launched a defensive counterattack.

Many Emperors secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the brutes who tried to gather together and assault the defensive line would be targeted by the great wall’s defenses.

However, everyone was stupefied soon after. The scattered cosmic beasts did not retreat nor move to other areas. Instead, they stabilized themselves and charged in the same direction again.

An old monster inwardly shivered as he analyzed, "These evil brutes must be under someone's control, otherwise they wouldn't be so crazy!"

"It could also be possible that a dao friend is drawing their attention..."

Numerous people were bewildered by the turn of events.

It was the first time in seven years that such a horrifying and bizarre event was occurring.

"We’re finished..."

Meanwhile, Battle Emperor Fengling revealed an ugly expression as his heart sank. Although the cosmic beast horde had been scattered by the great wall’s Law Power, almost all of them were still murderously approaching.

Their enormous bodies and cold, sinister auras had already enveloped the entire sector.

Battle Emperor Fengling was a fourth realm Emperor. He had fought countless battles in his life, experienced innumerable dangers, and was accustomed to stormy situations.

However, even someone like him couldn’t help but shiver at this moment!

To make things worse, he had spotted a terrifying existence comparable to a fifth realm Emperor amongst the dreadful cosmic beast horde.

How can we fight this...

"It seems that these old bones of mine will be buried here today..."

Battle Emperor Fengling felt a strong sense of bitterness. This was the Great Wall of Thousand Daos, the Nirvana path belonging to the Emperor Stage that no one could leave within ten years.

In other words, he had no choice but to defend this place with his life!

"You pieces of shit, I’ll drag as many as you down with me as I can!" Battle Emperor Fengling ruthlessly resolved himself.

To his surprise, however, the approaching cosmic beasts simply ignored him and continued rushing in another direction.

Battle Emperor Fengling, who had been ready to fight to the death, was stunned for a moment, before his expression rapidly changed and he yelled, "Young friend, be careful—!"

He realized that the cosmic beast horde was heading straight for Lin Xun’s fort.

He couldn't believe it, how could a mere quasi-Emperor attract the attention of so many cosmic beasts?

Could it be due to the...barbecue?

Battle Emperor Fengling knew full-well that it was an absurd explanation. However, he genuinely couldn't figure out what Lin Xun had done to attract such a horrifying calamity.
