Chapter 117: Ch 117- Beast Tide (11) [Bonus]
Half an hour later.
The wilderness in front of Lin Jian Base looked completely different from before.
The battlefield was covered with countless beast corpses. Large and small bodies were scattered across the ground and the smell of blood filled the entire area.
The soldiers and cultivators of Lin Jian Base were busy collecting the corpses.
Beast blood was extremely valuable and although most of the blood from the beasts killed by Mo Yuan had already been absorbed by his Blood Saber Intent, some blood still remained inside their bodies.
Moreover, the corpses of powerful beasts were valuable in themselves. Their bones, hides, claws, teeth and other parts could all be used to make weapons, armour, pills and various other resources.
Five Origin Lord Realm cultivators were standing near the entrance of the base.
They were waiting for Mo Yuan to return.
Lu Yang looked toward the wilderness and finally could not hold back his curiosity.
"Who could that Sovereign Realm cultivator be? I have never seen such a young Sovereign Realm cultivator before."
His voice was filled with confusion.
Li Qiang nodded.
"I have never seen him either."
He paused for a moment before continuing.
"Could he be a genius from a Holy Base?"
Hearing this, the other three Origin Lord Realm cultivators looked at each other.
One of them nodded.
"Only the Holy Bases should be capable of nurturing such a young Sovereign Realm cultivator."
"That’s right."
"If he really comes from a Holy Base, then his talent must be extremely terrifying."
The five cultivators continued discussing Mo Yuan.
None of them had any idea who he actually was.
As far as they knew, Mo Yuan had suddenly appeared in the middle of the battlefield, killed a Peak Realm beast with one attack and then slaughtered the remaining beasts.
In their eyes, only a Sovereign Realm cultivator could accomplish something like that.
One of the Origin Lord Realm cultivators suddenly sighed.
"It’s a pity Hong Shan died."
"If only that Sovereign Realm cultivator had appeared a little earlier, Hong Shan might have been saved."
The others fell silent.
Hong Shan had been an Origin Lord Realm cultivator from Cang Lan Base, he was killed by the Tyrant Ape.
Lu Yang shook his head.
"At least Lin Bao survived."
Lin Bao was the Origin Lord Realm cultivator who had been smashed into the wall by the Tyrant Ape.
He was unconscious right now but after checking his condition, they found that he had not suffered any major injuries.
"Compared to Hong Shan, Lin Bao is extremely lucky," Li Qiang said.
He looked toward the wilderness, then let out a long breath.
"At least we survived. That alone is enough."
His expression became serious.
"I wonder how the other bases are holding up."
The atmosphere immediately became heavy.
The beast tide had not only attacked Lin Jian Base.
There were many bases spread across the wilderness and many of them were facing the same disaster.
One of the cultivators spoke.
"You’re right. We were extremely lucky to encounter that young Sovereign Realm cultivator."
"If he hadn’t appeared, none of us would have survived today."
Another Origin Lord Realm cultivator shook his head.
"Not just us."
"Everyone in Lin Jian Base would have died."
The others nodded.
Just then, Li Qiang seemed to remember something.
"Quickly, inform Cang Lan Base."
His voice became urgent.
"Tell them that Lin Jian Base has been saved by a Sovereign Realm cultivator from a Holy Base."
A cultivator immediately understood.
"Understood!"
Soon, a Primordial Qi vehicle left Lin Jian Base at full speed.
Its destination was Cang Lan Base.
The news that a young Sovereign Realm cultivator from a Holy Base had appeared and single-handedly saved Lin Jian Base was about to spread.
At the same time, Mo Yuan appeared in front of Lin Jian Base.
His hair had already returned to its normal blonde colour and his eyes had returned to normal as well.
After killing the three Devouring Serpents, Mo Yuan had also killed the four remaining bull-like beasts. Unfortunately, none of them had any special talents that interested him.
However, the giant ant that had been riding on one of the bulls had caught his attention.
It was called a Blood Eater Ant and it possessed an Ultimate Grade Defense Talent.
Mo Yuan naturally could not let such a talent go.
He carefully killed the Blood Eater Ant without causing too much damage to its body before storing the entire corpse inside his storage space.
That was not all.
His storage space was already filled with thousands of High Grade beast corpses.
As for the beasts below that level, Mo Yuan had not bothered collecting them.
There were simply too many.
Collecting those weaker corpses would only waste his time and fill his storage space with things he did not really need.
’There are still four days before the cooldown of Copy and Paste Talent is over.’
Mo Yuan thought for a moment.
’I’ll copy the Defense Talent first.’
Having an Ultimate Grade Defensive Talent would greatly increase his survivability, especially if he encountered another powerful enemy.
As for the Absorption Talent of the Devouring Serpent, he could copy it later.
After making his decision, Mo Yuan walked toward the base.
The moment he appeared, the surrounding Origin Lord Realm cultivators immediately became respectful.
Even the nearby soldiers and cultivators stopped what they were doing and looked toward him.
Some of them even lowered their heads slightly.
After all, in their eyes, the person standing in front of them was a terrifying Sovereign Realm cultivator who had slaughtered several Peak Realm beasts.
Lu Yang quickly stepped forward with a smile on his face.
"Thank you for saving us."
Mo Yuan smiled and waved his hand.
"It’s fine. You don’t need to thank me."
He paused for a moment before asking, "Can you give me a map showing all the bases under the jurisdiction of Cang Lan Base?"
Lu Yang was slightly stunned.
"A map?"
He could not understand why this mysterious genius from the Holy Base would suddenly ask for a map.
Before Lu Yang could answer, someone beside him suddenly froze.
Li Qiang felt as if his mind had stopped working.
He stared at Mo Yuan’s face.
That blonde hair...
An unbelievable thought appeared in his mind.
’Could it be...’
His breathing became slightly faster.
Back then, Mo Yuan had activated Blood Saber Intent, causing his hair and eyes to turn red because of that, Li Qiang had never connected the mysterious Sovereign Realm cultivator with the young man from his team but now, Mo Yuan’s hair had returned to its normal blonde color.
There were not many cultivators with naturally blonde hair.
More importantly in his team, there was only one person with blonde hair.
Mo Yuan.
Li Qiang immediately took out a file from his storage ring, he quickly opened it and looked at the information inside.
His hands trembled slightly.
He took a deep breath before looking at Mo Yuan with an expression of disbelief.
"You... you are Mo Yuan?"
His voice was filled with shock.
Mo Yuan looked at him and immediately understood.
He was not surprised.
He had already known that revealing so much strength would eventually expose his identity.
Since he had decided to make a move, he had never expected to keep his identity hidden forever.
Mo Yuan scratched his head and smiled.
"Yes, I am."
Li Qiang’s eyes widened.
"You... you are only an Origin Soul Realm cultivator. How did you..."
He could not even finish his sentence.
Lu Yang, who was standing beside him, was also stunned.
"Wait."
He immediately released his Origin Sense and swept it toward Mo Yuan.
His expression changed.
"You’re an Origin Soul Realm cultivator?"
The other Origin Lord Realm cultivators also used their Origin Sense.
After confirming Mo Yuan’s cultivation, their expressions became shocked.
Origin Soul Realm.
The terrifying Sovereign Realm cultivator they had just been praising was actually only an Origin Soul Realm cultivator and this person had just killed a Peak Realm beast with a single attack.
For a moment, nobody knew what to say.
Mo Yuan could not help scratching his head and giving an awkward laugh.
"Well... I guess I’m a genius."
Silence.
Black lines seemed to appear on the foreheads of the Origin Lord Realm cultivators.
’Genius?’
’You call this genius?’
’An Origin Soul Realm cultivator killing Peak Realm beasts...’
’Who should we call monster, you or the Beasts?’
Even Lu Yang did not know how to respond. A normal genius could cross one or two minor realms but Mo Yuan had crossed major realm and directly killed Peak Realm beasts.
This was no longer something that could be described with the word genius.
Mo Yuan looked at their stunned expressions and decided not to waste any more time.
"We can talk about this later. I need to leave now, can you give me the map?"
Lu Yang finally recovered from his shock.
"Yes, yes!"
He quickly nodded and took out a map from his storage space.
However, as he handed it to Mo Yuan, he could not help looking at him like he was looking at a monster.
Mo Yuan took the map and glanced over it.
’Now I can finally find out where the other bases are.’
