CHAPTER 304: CHAPTER 289: RETREAT!

After Wang Xu’s life level suddenly leaped to the Celestial God Realm, the speed of the life index’s increase abruptly slowed down.

"3658"

"3664"

"3672"

"..."

The master’s life index finally fixed at 3708.

Four exotic beasts made Wang Xu’s life index jump from "3163" directly to "3708," and the life level had a huge leap, directly breaking from the Mixed Universe Realm to the Celestial God Realm.

The current Wang Xu has quietly advanced to a higher level; although the life index does not enhance strength, as the life level leaps, the physical body, spiritual consciousness, law insights, and attack aspects, all change and become more formidable.

With a powerful punch, the void in front of Wang Xu shattered crisply and neatly. At the same time, Wang Xu became more adept at mastering the void, stepping out in an instant, arriving 300,000 kilometers away.

300,000 kilometers, and this is without using the Endless Sword. If the sword’s speed bonus was applied, Wang Xu’s speed would reach twice the speed of light!

"Formless Sacred Image, the Four Endless, and many secret techniques I couldn’t comprehend before, now all have become clear!" The change wasn’t just physical; in his mind, Wang Xu found that the once blurred endless information became vividly clear.

This information could only be understood when Wang Xu reached the corresponding level, such as after breaking through to the Mixed Universe Realm, as his strength soared, allowing him to gradually see clearer. After all, cultivation secret scriptures are a gradual process; without enough strength, they would cause significant damage to the cosmic martial artist.

However, as his life level suddenly jumped from the Mixed Cosmos life level to the Celestial God Realm, there was no more obstruction and concealment of the previously vague information.

This is when strength is acknowledged, information is unlocked, and all is apparent to Wang Xu.

Looking at the Sacred Image’s life index, its speed of enhancement was much slower than the master’s, and finally stopped at "3010."

This increase in the life index brought earth-shattering changes for the master, the life index rose by nearly 500, and the Sacred Image’s life index increased by 300.

"Four exotic beasts, just four!" Wang Xu’s eyes flashed. The four exotic beasts brought him tremendous benefits. As long as there are enough exotic beasts, Wang Xu can eventually reach the life index limit that Brother Lu Chen once mentioned.

When Wang Xu asked Brother Lu Chen about the life index limit, Lu Chen himself didn’t know either; he only understood that if the life index reached the limit, then when advancing to the Mixed Universe Realm, the benefits would be unprecedented.

"Go back... or continue hunting exotic beasts?" Wang Xu pondered. He urgently needs strength now, only with enough strength can he rid himself of the status of a street rat, without constantly being on guard, fearing discovery.

After a moment of deliberation.

"Kill!" A sharp light burst from Wang Xu’s eyes, "Increase the life index to its limit, make my strength even stronger. Only then can I find Kaina, find Kaina’s clan leader, and avenge my grievance!"

A flash of hatred crossed Wang Xu’s eyes. Because of Kaina, he almost died under the sword of a Celestial God Realm figure, and also because of Kaina, he was wanted throughout the Wu Meng Sacred Cosmos, having to flee to the Desolate Land of the alien race.

Anyone threatening his life, Wang Xu will never let go!

This vendetta, Wang Xu must repay!

"Let’s go!" With a wave of his hand, the Space-Time Whale appeared, and he sat down cross-legged, entering a cultivation state—he didn’t return to the war camp to buy intelligence, first because it was too troublesome, taking a month just for the journey, second although his life index increased, he still needed time to enhance his strength.

Wandering freely on the exotic beast battlefield, killing any exotic beast he comes across! After killing an exotic beast, he devours it directly, causing the life index to skyrocket, allowing Wang Xu to continue hunting more exotic beasts!

With this idea in mind, Wang Xu started riding the Space-Time Whale, deviating from the original path back to the war camp, flying towards other regions of the exotic beast battlefield.

......

"Intensify the assault!"

"Follow with the space treasure!"

"Attack in turns, keep an eye on these two exotic beasts at all times!"

Each command echoed from the leader’s mouth, and the members of the five freedom squads wore a murderous look, none dared to show the least bit of negligence.

Time had already passed a full day and night.

During this day and night, every single squad of the six freedom squads had members swallowed by the two exotic beasts, becoming their bloody food, even a leader fell victim... The remaining members had to regroup, reducing the original six freedom squads by one.

The disappearance of one freedom squad significantly lowered the overall comprehensive strength, yet despite this, the leader still refused to give up, utilizing the space treasure’s space lag skill to repeatedly control the exotic beasts’ forms, exposing them to everyone’s bombardment, intensifying the assault.

However, despairingly, the fierce bombardment by the five freedom squads left only shallow scars on the two exotic beasts because after devouring one freedom squad’s alien warriors, the two exotic beasts’ bodies recovered and grew increasingly ferocious, hungry and heated, wanting to continue tasting the blood and flesh of alien warriors.

"Retreat quickly, one exotic beast has left the space lag region!" suddenly a cry sounded, startling all members, making them immediately retract all attacks, retreating swiftly.

Although the Exotic Beast was confined by the Space Lag, it could still move. Once it escaped from the Space Lag area, it could instantly vanish into the void, and then, before you could even react, appear behind you and swallow you whole!

The team members who were devoured by the Exotic Beast were ambushed like this, one after another, and ultimately died with unwillingness and despair.

"Where’s the Space Treasure? Quickly move the Space Lag area so the Exotic Beast cannot escape!" the captain shouted.

"I can’t hold on any longer, Captain Luo," Kelin Luo, who was holding the Space Treasure, said wearily, her energy drastically waning, "the usage time of the Space Treasure has been too long, and the Cosmic Energy in my body can no longer keep up."

The Space Treasure extremely depleted Cosmic Energy. Even though Kelin Luo prepared a large number of energy recovery potions, it was still to no avail. The entire day’s consumption left her physically and mentally exhausted.

The captain’s face turned pale. The Space Treasure was their only reliance to kill the Exotic Beast. Now that the Space Treasure was restricted, once the Space Lag area completely failed, what awaited them was the frenzied counterattack of the Exotic Beast!

"Retreat! Retreat! All team members heed my command, no matter who you are, you must abandon everything now and retreat onto the Space-Time Whale! Quickly!" The captain no longer hesitated and directly ordered all the free squads to retreat.

This was the only way out now.

If they couldn’t control the Exotic Beast, they couldn’t avoid its terrifying void assault, then everyone would be buried here!

The members of the five free squads looked grim, clenching their teeth, with anger in their eyes almost bursting into flames.

Among the six free squads, more or less all had their comrades swallowed by the Exotic Beast. Everyone had fought side by side on the same battle line, forming deep bonds, yet now they didn’t even have the chance to avenge their comrades, leaving them with a deep sorrow.

But they knew that staying here was futile. The more the Exotic Beast devoured, the stronger it would become, and by then, none of them would escape its pursuit!

Retreat, all team members retreated, the Space-Time Whale appeared, and the team members quickly landed on the back of the Space-Time Whale.

"Quick! Quick! Quick! There’s no time!" the captain urged repeatedly.

Kelin Luo gritted her teeth, exerting the little remaining Cosmic Energy in her body to buy time for the team’s escape.

"Kelin Luo, everyone is already up, you come back quickly!" the captain shouted.

Kelin Luo controlled the Space Lag area while retreating, quickly moving towards the Space-Time Whale.

Roar!

Suddenly, an Exotic Beast burst out of the Space Lag area, shocking everyone, with horror on their faces—it wasn’t the Exotic Beast they were constantly worrying about that broke through the Space Lag area, but another one!

This Exotic Beast took advantage of everyone’s unawareness, suddenly erupted, and broke through the Space Lag area in one go, its massive body vanishing into the void.

"Quick! Move fast! Let the Space-Time Whale move fast!" the captain shouted, and panic flashed in the eyes of all the team members.

The Exotic Beast’s void assault ability left an indelible psychological shadow on each team member. In the face of such terrifying power, they had almost no resistance!

Gurgling~

The Space-Time Whale moved, the War King level Space-Time Whale’s massive body swam forward, reaching millions of miles away in the blink of an eye.

"Ugh!" However, the speed of the Space-Time Whale suddenly slowed, with a large splatter of blood floating in the void.

"Damn it!" The captain clenched his hand tightly, with blood seeping from his palm. It was the Exotic Beast. At the moment the Space-Time Whale moved, the Exotic Beast that vanished into the void tore apart the belly of the Space-Time Whale with its claws, the gruesome wound was shocking, and large amounts of blood spilled down. This was when the Space-Time Whale moved fast, if it were a bit slower, it might have been shredded into two halves by these claws!

The Space-Time Whale was injured, unable to boost its speed. The team members urged frantically, but it was to no avail.

Roar~ Roar~ At this time, both Exotic Beasts were out of the control of the Space Lag, and their greedy and cruel eyes fixed on the massive Space-Time Whale, whipping their tails, and chasing straight after.

"Medical Practitioner, quickly mend the Space-Time Whale’s wounds. Controller, don’t stop, keep the Space-Time Whale moving, even injured, its speed is much faster than that of the Exotic Beasts!" the captain said calmly.

At this moment, everyone lost their core support, and their panic made them rely heavily on the captain. With his words, the team members immediately began to execute them.

The Space-Time Whale continued forward, gradually accelerating. As the captain said, even though it was injured, its current speed could reach seven times the speed of light, far faster than the Exotic Beasts’ five times the speed of light.

The Exotic Beasts chased desperately behind the Space-Time Whale, roaring repeatedly, but clearly, their speed was insufficient to catch up to the Space-Time Whale.

Seeing this scene, the team members felt a great weight lifted from their hearts; managing to escape was a fortune amidst misfortune.

Roar!!!!

Suddenly, a roar came from behind all the team members, a blast of icy coldness instantly swept across all the Alien Race Warriors present. They widened their eyes, with a look of fear, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

They slowly turned their heads, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Two Exotic Beasts were roaring wildly, brandishing their bloodthirsty claws, blocking their way from the front! (To be continued.
