Warrior’s Promise-Chapter 2685 - Kill The Star Beast

Chapter 2685 Kill The Star Beast

Not only was Zi Xiao thrilled, but all the geniuses from the various branches were excited as well.

That included Ba Shiyu, Murong Qi, and the other outstanding Supreme Beings. Even Di Yihun was tempted as well.

No one would turn down the offer to become a disciple to a Kismet Master. That would bring up their status and they would have a bright future.

Su Mo and Ling Chang looked at each other with a knowing look.

They did not have to become disciples of Tai Ying Sovereign but they could not let Di Yihun and Zi Xiao do so. If that were to happen, they would be doomed. That said, if Su Mo and Ling Chang performed well and Tai Ying Sovereign was willing to accept them as his disciples, they would gladly accept the offer. Tai Ying Sovereign stood in the air and looked around. When he saw the excited faces, he looked pleased. In fact, he was not interested in recruiting any disciple.

However, out of the 36 Sovereigns, he was the only one who had not accepted any disciple. Thus, after much consideration, he had decided to select one disciple out of the Selection.

“According to the previous rules, those of you who have obtained the 30 tokens will become disciples of the Headquarters.”

Tai Ying Sovereign said in his deep and husky voice. He continued and said, “However, we will not follow the past rules as I will be recruiting a disciple. We will be using the rules that I have set.”

“Tai Ying Sovereign, could you tell us about your rules?”

A young man in a golden robe asked respectfully.

“Shi Zixuan, you stand a high chance!” Tai Ying Sovereign looked at the youth in the golden robe and said with a smile, not answering his question.

The minute Tai Ying Sovereign made that statement, the face of the youth became red with excitement.

Tai Ying Sovereign knew the youth and he thought highly of him. He had made that statement as he believed that the youth stood a high chance of becoming his disciple.

Many disciples looked at the youth with envy. Tai Ying Sovereign seemed to have a few candidates in mind and Shi Zixuan was one of them.

Everybody knew that Shi Zixuan possessed great talent and combat strength and he was outstanding. It made sense for him to be one of Tai Ying Sovereign’s candidates. In the entire Ancient Cloud Star Alliance, only Ba Shiyu and Murong Qi had the ability to contend with Shi Zixuan.

Shi Zixuan, Ba Shiyu, and Murong Qi were invincible within the Supreme Being Realm and they stood a high chance.

“The rules are extremely simple!”

y.

Tai Ying Sovereign said loudly. He shot up and flew into the starry sky. He stretched his hands deep into the void and drew it apart.

Rumble!

The starry sky rumbled and the void collapsed. He pulled a huge creature out of the void.

The head of the creature was the first to make its appearance out of the void and it was gigantic.

The head was as black as ink, like the head of a tortoise, and it was tenfold bigger than the Suspended Holy Mountain.

Its gigantic body followed after as it was pulled out of the void.

That was a giant Star Beast which was about the size of a small star! The minute it appeared, it looked as though the sky was covered by the dark clouds.

“Star Beast!”

“It’s a Star Beast!”

“What a terrifying aura!”

The disciples were shocked when they saw the huge creature.

Although there were not many Star Beasts in Cloud Ridge World, every Beast possessed the strength of a Great Completion Supreme at the least.

If an ordinary disciple were to leave the territory of Ancient Cloud Star Alliance and meet a Star Beast in the universe, they would likely be killed.

Back then, Su Mo and Ling Chang had met a Star Beast but Su Mo had escaped from it as he had been alert. However, Ling Chang had almost lost her life and she had been saved by Reverend Jin Wu.

The size of the Star Beast that Tai Ying Sovereign had pulled out from the void was similar to the one that Su Mo had met. It was gigantic, half the size of the Firmament Palace in Star Guzhou.

“I have constrained its strength and it will not be able to harm any of you!” Tai Ying Sovereign said as he stood in front of the Star Beast in the starry sky and looked down at the people.

When all of them heard it, they heaved a sigh of relief. The Beast must have been captured by Tai Ying Sovereign. “The rules are simple. There are 30 martial artists in this Star Beast and they possess the Beginning Supreme Realm. Each of them has a token in his body, and anyone who gets the token will enter the Headquarters and become one of the disciples!” Tai Ying Sovereign said.

Eh…

Everyone was stunned by what Tai Ying Sovereign had said. The tokens were not only in the Star Beast’s body, they were also in the bodies of 30 martial artists who were at the Beginning Supreme Realm!

“Tai Ying Sovereign, if the disciples are to get hold of the tokens, they will have to use vicious means. That will put the 30 martial artists in danger.” One of the Branch Elders commented.

Although those who had reached the Beginning Supreme Realm possessed great strength, they would be no match for hundreds of millions of Supreme Beings. If they refused to hand the tokens over, they would lose their lives.

Moreover, many talented Advanced Supreme Beings possessed strength comparable to that of the Beginning Supreme Realm top powers.

“Yes. I want them to be killed!” Tai Ying Sovereign smiled and said, “These 30 people are wicked and some of them are the enemies of Ancient Cloud Star Alliance. I have spent one year on capturing them and they are now sealed inside the Star Beast’s body.”

So, that’s it!

The people were enlightened. Tai Ying Sovereign had it well planned and the 30 people were live targets. “I have to warn you. These 30 people possess great strength and a few of them have way surpassed their peers. You have to be careful. It will be a pity if you die inside the Star Beast!” Tai Ying Sovereign warned the disciples. He knew that there would be casualties after the Selection, but that was unavoidable.

In every Selection, someone was bound to lose their life.

However, the Headquarters would only accept the cream of the crop out of the geniuses. Even if they had to sacrifice 100,000 disciples to find one elite, they considered it worthwhile.

After the disciples had heard what Tai Ying Sovereign had said, they had different expressions on their faces. With such rules, those who had a higher cultivation level would have an edge over the rest of them.

However, they had accepted it as it was the norm for those who had a higher cultivation level to have an edge over those with a lower cultivation level.

That was not to accuse the Headquarters of taking sides with those who had higher cultivation levels. That was being fair. Strength determined everything.

For those who possessed great talent but were young in age and had low cultivation levels, they could participate in the next Selection if they failed this round.

Even if the disciples had low cultivation levels at that moment, their cultivation levels would advance at the next Selection or after even more rounds.

People like Ba Shiyu, Shi Zixuan, and Murong Qi were Advanced Supreme Beings and they possessed incredible combat strength. They had taken part in the previous Selection but they had failed to become disciples of the Headquarters as their cultivation levels had been low back then.

For those who had low cultivation levels at that moment, when they reached a high cultivation level in the future, they would have an edge over the rest of them when they participated again in the next Selection.

More than 300 years ago, Ba Shiyu had already been invincible among those in the Supreme Being Realm. He had taken part in the Selection many times but he had failed to become a disciple of the Headquarters because he was down on his luck.

“Tai Ying Sovereign, could you tell us your criteria in selecting your disciple?”

Someone asked loudly. It was Zi Xiao who had posed the question.

As long as he could become Tai Ying Sovereign’s disciple, it did not matter to him whether he ended up being a disciple of the Headquarters. That said, under normal circumstances, one would become a disciple of the Headquarters if they were accepted by Tai Ying Sovereign as his disciple.

The disciples fixed their gaze on Tai Ying Sovereign as they waited for an answer. Zi Xiao had voiced their concern.

“It is very simple. Anyone who manages to kill the Star Beast will become my disciple!” Tai Ying Sovereign replied.

When all of them heard the criteria, they were shocked. The strength of the Star Beast was equivalent to a Great Completion Supreme Realm top power. Even if they were able to capture the Star Beast and restrain its strength, it would be impossible for them to kill it.

“You can use any method and means. As long as you kill the Star Beast, I will accept you as my disciple even if you fail to obtain the token. You will also be given the exception to get into the Headquarters as a disciple.” Tai Ying Sovereign added.

Hoof!

The disciples were excited. As long as they could kill the Star Beast, they would have a great future.

“Star Beast, I shall kill you!”

Zi Xiao clenched his fists and he was determined to kill the Star Beast.

Di Yihun looked calm. He glanced at Zi Xiao, who was standing beside him, and sensed his great desire.

However, Di Yihun’s target was not to kill the Star Beast or get hold of the token. His aim was to kill Su Mo.

As long as Su Mo was killed, Di Yihun would have all the time in the world to do what he desired. Given his talent and strength, he would have no problem surviving in the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance.

“Kill the Star Beast!”

Not only Zi Xiao but Xiao Yushu, Quan Ruhai, Leng Canfeng, Ye Jin, and even Ge Li were looking forward to killing the Star Beast. Suddenly, Tai Ying Sovereign appeared on the Beast’s head and stamped his foot.

Roar!

The terrifying power inflicted great pain on the giant Star Beast and it opened its gigantic mouth and roared.

Tai Ying Sovereign repeated the action and when his power landed on the Star Beast, the Star Beast froze and it was unable to close its mouth.

“Those of you who are participating in the Selection are to get into the body of the Star Beast now!” Tai Ying Sovereign said, and his voice resounded in the area.
