Chương 169: War God — Chapter 169 - Beast of Finality — Star-Devourer Calamity Lord

Command Room. Xiong Kuohai's body trembled. The Battle Soul Field connects directly to a martial artist's consciousness. It doesn't make mistakes. As long as a martial artist has truly encountered a Z-rank Beast, it will simulate it. But! The higher the beast's rank, the less intelligence data exists. Relying solely on a martial artist's consciousness, it can't be simulated one-to-one perfectly. At most, it might only capture a fraction of its essence.

Yet that tiny bit of essence was already enough for him to sense it! This is absolutely a Z-rank Beast! And the Battle Soul Field alarm going off also proves that this beast's aura exceeds the data limits of this Battle Soul Field. It's just... How could a mere Third Realm Martial Artist possibly have encountered a Z-rank Beast? Looking at the faintly discernible outline of the colossal beast, even with his Sixth Realm strength, Xiong Kuohai felt a wave of pressure wash over him!

"Commander, what do we do now?"

"Stop it?"

"A Third Realm Martial Artist can't possibly survive a Z-rank Beast's materialization trial. A single wisp of its aura will likely cause mental derangement." The adjutant beside him spoke in a low voice. The situation had exceeded their expectations. If the trial continued and something happened to this Old Martial Arts prodigy's mind, who would bear the responsibility? Xiong Kuohai frowned. He had thought the final trial would be a simple matter for this youth, yet it had become the greatest test of all.

"Wait a while." Xiong Kuohai frowned.

"Have the medical department ready for rescue at any moment. This kid is no ordinary person. Since he's encountered a Z-rank Beast, he should at least be given a chance to try."

"Have the control room personnel monitor it constantly. If anything unexpected happens, shut down the Battle Soul Field immediately." The adjutant nodded.

"Also, Commander, can you tell what Z-rank Beast this outline belongs to?" Xiong Kuohai remained silent. Z-rank Beasts were not something just anyone could have encountered. In his decades-long military career, he had truly encountered only one. He had seen perhaps two or three. And the Dragon Nation's beast database didn't have many recorded Z-rank Beasts. They could be counted on one's fingers.

"I don't recognize it. It's so blurry, and the Battle Soul Field can't simulate it either. Most likely a Z-rank Beast never recorded in Dragon Nation." Thinking of this, Xiong Kuohai felt even more astonished inside. This kid... what exactly is going on with him? —"Quick!"

"Someone get them to shut down the Battle Soul Field!" In the observation room, the terrifying aura of the Z-rank Beast, even through the screen, made everyone tremble all over. Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon. Big Sister was the first to react. She rushed to the side and shouted loudly at a staff member who was also frozen in a daze, "Go now!" That person snapped out of it and hurriedly replied:"The command room is watching it constantly."

"Don't worry, we saw it, they saw it too. There's no need for me to report it."

"It should be shutting down any moment now." This was a Z-rank Beast materialization simulation. Forget about a Third Realm Martial Artist. Even Fourth or Fifth Realm Martial Artists would be completely incapable of withstanding the willpower trial against a beast of this level. And most likely, they would suffer mental derangement, possibly even go insane. That would not be a good thing at all. Big Sister furrowed her brows, her eyes filled with nothing but worry.

She didn't think about why Wang Xian had encountered a Z-rank Beast. At this moment, her mind was completely occupied with one thought: the Battle Soul Field had to be shut down immediately. Otherwise, her little brother's life could be in danger! As for passing? It was simply impossible. She hadn't even considered that possibility. And she wasn't the only one. Basically every martial artist present thought the same way.

"Went straight from the easiest trial to the hardest one."

"Wait, how could a Third Realm Martial Artist have encountered a Z-rank Beast?"

"Maybe he encountered ruins formed by a Z-rank Beast, or remains, something like that?"

"That alone shouldn't be enough, right? Generally speaking, the beasts simulated in the Battle Soul Field are formed from the deepest, clearest, most feared impressions within a martial artist's consciousness."

"Without actually encountering a beast of this level, you can't understand much about it at all. The Battle Soul Field can't simulate much of its essence."

"The aura of this Z-rank Beast is so terrifying. We're who knows how far away, and just one glance makes my whole body tremble!"

"Hurry up and shut down the Battle Soul Field, or else he might..." The martial artists present were all talking at once.

"It seems Dragon Nation has no intention of shutting down the Battle Soul Field." The blond man Kailun's blue eyes flickered with a strange light.

"Could it be they want to continue?"

"After all, he's already passed the first two trials." Chiba Ryuzaki shook his head.

"It's completely unnecessary. This youth may have no talent, but his physical fitness, adaptability, and combat intuition are all exceptionally outstanding."

"If he passes the preliminary test, in the mid-term test and final test a few years from now, there might well be a place for him."

"They have a medical department here, so there shouldn't be any life-threatening danger."

"Still, isn't their military being a bit too overconfident?" How could a Third Realm Martial Artist possibly pass?

"His expression seems to have changed." The white-haired girl beside them extended a finger, pointing at the screen, at the youth whose figure was somewhat hazy within the giant eagle.

"How strange, look."

"It seems there's no fear on his face."

"But rather a kind of..." The two hurriedly looked over, as if seeing something utterly bizarre. And immediately froze. In the screen... — Wang Xian smiled.

"Old friend, long time no see." Wang Xian waved at the colossal beast, his face full of reminiscence. ROAR! The colossal beast let out a roar, and the surrounding scene instantly changed.

"No need to be so worked up." Wang Xian sighed.

"Right now, you should still be curled up inside the mother nest on the Alien Star Battlefield, not yet born, right? Just from this tiny bit of consciousness simulation of mine, you can already sense it?"

"No matter how fiercely you roar, the main body in the mother nest won't be able to recognize me."

"Wouldn't you agree, Beast of Finality, Star-Devourer Calamity Lord." The colossal beast was very blurry. But within its body, it seemed as though it held one planet after another. That's right. This colossal beast was the most powerful beast Wang Xian had ever encountered in his past life. Z-rank peak beast, Star-Devourer Calamity Lord. On the Alien Star Battlefield, one of the beast overlords that fed on planetary civilizations. Even among Z-rank Beasts, there were differences.

And peak-level Z-rank Beasts already possessed the terrifying strength to reign supreme on the Alien Star Battlefield! In the final battle of his previous life, it was this fellow who led the charge. As for why this creature would lead an assault on a small group of humans, judging from his current reborn circumstances, it must have been that Chen Yuting at the time possessed a divine object as alluring to beasts as opium. Deeply, irresistibly drawing this gargantuan entity.

To the point where it was even willing to tear through the space of the Alien Star Battlefield and descend upon a tiny corner of Blue Star. In the end, then, Wang Xian remembered it quite clearly. He had suffered a fatal wound with no chance of survival, but he had also pierced through this creature's star core region, severely damaging its strength. At the same time, the batch of high-rank beasts it had brought along were either dead or wounded.

In the end, only it and two or three other Z-rank Beasts fled back to the Alien Star Battlefield. That battle was the most tragic battle of his entire life. By detonating his divine meridians as the price, he temporarily forced his realm all the way up to the Ninth Realm, but even then, he only barely managed to drive this beast back to the Alien Star Battlefield. But most likely, after his death, it probably came back in full force soon after, right?

After all, at that time, Blue Star, swept up in the Wailing Cataclysm, was already teetering on the brink. The surrounding scene began to slowly manifest.
