Originally, Monster Loach was the only astral beast in the Primal Zone whose power level surpassed 300,000, and there were almost ten other Enlighter realm astral beasts there as well. Together, they formed the main force that assaulted Ironblood Weave. As soon as the reinforcements from the Celestial Beast Empire arrived, multiple powerful beasts appeared that held a similar status to the Enlighter Amethyst Beast and the Void Thunderbeast that was protecting the hole in the energy stream. All of these beasts were from the Celestial Beast Empire, and at this moment, yet another terrifying beast with a power level over 350,000 appeared: a Three-Tailed Greedbeast.

When it appeared, all of the beasts in the immediate region demonstrated their subservience, and even Monster Loach felt a bit nervous when facing the Greedbeast.

The Three-Tailed Greedbeast was a strange creature that had a white skeletal framework wrapped around it with three tails swaying through space that emanated multiple layers of ripples.

In the Celestial Beast Empire, legend had it that this beast was extremely bloodthirsty. Now that the empire had sent it to join the attack, it showed the empire’s determination to conquer the Outerverse.

Aside from the Three-Tailed Greedbeast, Cursewind from Skymender’s List had also arrived, as well as Tian Hou, who was Skymender’s disciple, and five other Enlighter realm astral beasts.

It was an unstoppable force.

Cursewind was a blue lion who had a bizarre pair of eyes. It had wind in its left eye and fire in its right. Its body radiated an extreme temperature, and every step it took caused the void to warp and fracture.

The reinforcements did not stay in the Primal Zone for too long, and the Three-Tailed Greedbeast soon took all the others into Ironblood Weave with it.

Only Cursewind looked over at the planet where Lu Yin was attempting his breakthrough with any interest, and he even felt somewhat astonished. That tree was a phenomena, though it was being suppressed. There was no hurry, and they could come back and deal with that human after conquering Ironblood Weave. That human was clearly very talented since he could produce a phenomenon during his breakthrough.

From the Three-Tailed Greedbeast’s perspective, no matter how gifted Lu Yin may be, he was still only breaking to the Explorer realm, so he would not present much of a threat even then. The beast was not bothered at all. As for the corpse, there was no rush. At the moment, their most pressing issue was to conquer the humans’ Outerverse. The Greedbeast was acting on the Imperial Teacher’s orders, so it was determined to complete its mission quickly.

Monster Loach left a few Hunters behind to keep watch on Lu Yin. Regardless if he succeeded in his breakthrough, they would not let him off. The most crucial part was still the corpse, which was just too strange. They could only wait for the Three-Tailed Greedbeast to deal with it.

As for the hole in the energy stream, it remained protected by the Void Thunderbeast, and no one could destroy it.

At Seasons Fort, the space around the stronghold shuddered, and an enormous white skeletal tail swept through the holes of the sourceboxes’ danger zones. The beast then shot through the void and almost instantly crushed the stronghold’s pass.

Liu Qiuyu looked overwhelmed, as this was a terrifying powerhouse with a power level that exceeded 300,000.

Bang bang bang!

The transparent coffin tumbled down from the pass as Wang Wen screamed for help from inside it.

But right now, no one could move to save him. Elder Viletree and Wen Qichen had been killed in action, and Liu Qiuyu and Topmist were Seasons Fort’s only remaining Enlighters.

Since the Three-Tailed Greedbeast had acted, Seasons Fort was destined to be destroyed, and Liu Qiuyu had already predicted the end result.

Countless beasts invaded Seasons Fort, and the humans started a frantic counterattack.

Charon wielded the Unveiled Sword and howled loudly before charging into the sky.

Void Wanderers filled the air, and countless spatial cracks tore open as the creatures ferried in numerous beasts.

In outer space, above the fort, the Three-Tailed Greedbeast roared, and the violent noise caused the entirety of Seasons Fort to tremble.

A giant crack shot out from the pass and tore the ground apart, and it even caused several planets to splinter, nearly splitting Seasons Fort in two.

From the corner of his eye, Liu Qiuyu glanced around and knew that there was nobody who could take on the old freak aside from Elder Lohar. However, Elder Lohar had been obstructed by other beasts, so it seemed that Seasons Fort was doomed to fall on this day.

Liu Qiuyu hurriedly charged towards Wang Wen, as he wanted to throw Wang Wen away from Seasons Fort. Even if everyone else died, Wang Wen could not.

Suddenly, a shockwave swept out, and Liu Qiuyu hurriedly took a step back. The void in front of him was distorted by an extremely high temperature, and it soon started boiling.

A blue lion emerged from the void and stepped into outer space to face Liu Qiuyu. “Cursewind of Skymender’s List is seeking experience.”

Liu Qiuyu squinted. “Junior, do you really think that you can compare to the Ten Arbiters and challenge an Enlighter?”

Cursewind raised his lion’s head. “What of the Ten Arbiters? Once we break through the barrier separating the Outerverse from the Innerverse, even the Ten Arbiters will be slaughtered!” Then, the hurricane in his left eye morphed into a violent shockwave that tore apart the void as it swept towards Liu Qiuyu.

Liu Qiuyu slashed out with his sword, and the sword qi ripped the hurricane to shreds and continued on towards Cursewind.

Next, the inferno in Cursewind’s right eye filled the sky, and an intense heat wave swept out that caused even Liu Qiuyu to grow fearful. This was Cursewind’s innate gift, which allowed the winds to assist the flames. The hurricane around the fire flared up and caused the entire region to collapse.

Liu Qiuyu’s eyes trembled, as the momentum of the battle had shifted greatly. An unstoppable power converged in front of him to form a sword that pierced through the void.

Cursewind hurriedly dodged it even as the beast’s own attack was sliced through by the sword. If he had not moved aside quickly enough, then the sword definitely would have stabbed through his body as well.

He looked at Liu Qiuyu in shock, as this human was actually incredibly powerful.

At this moment, high in the sky, a white skeletal tail crashed down and sent Liu Qiuyu hurtling towards the surface of the stronghold. The tail continued sweeping through the stronghold until it emerged in outer space, on the other side.

The Three-Tailed Greedbeast’s cold eyes swept across Cursewind as its two other tails lashed out at Seasons Fort.

With a boom, Aden was sent flying. Despite his thunder shield being supplemented by his nine-lined battle force, it had still been shattered into multiple pieces. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his status was left unknown.

Nobody could stop the Three-Tailed Greedbeast.

On another side of the fort, on a mainland, a youth faced off against Tian Hou. He was Linley, and he had formerly been a senior disciple of the Innerverse’s Myriad Swords Peak, and he was even Wendy Yushan’s senior. At present, he was a Cruiser with a power level of 80,000.

Facing an Explorer as a Cruiser should be an effortless fight, but he was facing Tian Hou at this time. No matter how he attacked, he could not seem to harm Tian Hou in any manner.

Tian Hou merged with the void, which rendered all of Linley’s attacks ineffective.

This was the first time that Linley had faced such an opponent, and Tian Hou’s methods made him tremble in fear.

“You must be terrified,” Tian Hou spoke in a strange voice.

Linley’s eyes changed and turned sluggish. He suddenly seemed bewildered, and he dropped the longsword from his hands.

Tian Hou stepped towards Linley and raised a hand that he placed upon the Cruiser’s body. “Be devoured.”

Right after uttering those words, sword qi streaked by, passing through Tian Hou and tearing the ground apart. Liu Zhan stepped out with a solemn face.

Tian Hou calmly turned to look at Liu Zhan. “Another one from the Liu family.”

Liu Zhan’s eyes were ice-cold. “So you’re Tian Hou.”

Tian Hou was hidden within his black clothes, so most people would not recognize him. However, the Liu family was an exception. This was because a sect elder who had mastered the Thirteen Swords had once been swallowed by a Cosmic Hou in the past. The Liu family carried an unforgettable hatred towards all Cosmic Hous.

“So your Liu family can still survive with just the Thirteen Swords,” Tian Hou said indifferently.

By this point, Linley had recovered, and he was panting heavily. He picked his sword and looked at Tian Hou in humiliation.

As a swordsman, he had actually dropped his blade, which was an extraordinary disgrace.

“Even if Seasons Fort is lost today, I must kill you. Killing one Cosmic Hou will be a big blow to the Celestial Beast Empire,” Liu Zhan spoke coldly.

Tian Hou was apathetic. “It’s useless. Teacher has divined that I will not die during this battle.”

“Is that so?” Liu Zhan stabbed out.

However, his sword tip passed straight through Tian Hou, as Tian Hou could not be harmed. His figure gradually grew fainter until it could no longer be seen.

Liu Zhan was unwilling. Since ancient times, the legends of the Cosmic Hou had been a humiliation to the Sword Sect. He had heard many rumors about Cosmic Hous, and the most recent had been from the recent Tournament of the Strongest, where Tian Hou had lost to Lu Yin, a student of the Astral Combat Academy. Liu Zhan had thought that since Lu Yin was able to defeat Tian Hou, he himself should have no problem given his strength as a peak Hunter. However, he had wrongly underestimated the abilities of a Cosmic Hou.

Seasons Fort was collapsing from the Three-Tailed Greedbeast’s frantic attacks on the stronghold, and countless defenders perished.

Topmist gritted his teeth, as he did not want to die. As he watched another tail lash out, he cursed under his breath. He then carefully retrieved a very ancient box and opened it. “Ancestors, I am sorry, but I have no choice.”

He then reached inside the box where there was a very thin film: the Bloodied Handprint.

In front of him, Enlighter beasts shattered space and charged towards Topmist. He suddenly lifted his head and revealed a pale face, as if he was enduring extreme agony. Then, he let out a loud roar. His right hand rose from the box, and in the middle of his palm, there was boiling blood. The Bloodied Handprint had completely merged with his hand.

At that moment, everything froze. Every single creature, no matter if they were human or astral beast, no matter if they were Scouts, Melders, or powerhouses with a power level that had reached 300,000, paused. At this time, everyone felt an overbearing pressure, and everyone hesitated.

The sky had fallen. This was what every being present perceived.

It was not just at Seasons Fort; this fluctuation enveloped the entirety of Ironblood Weave, and it even extended into parts of Eastly and Northcastle Weaves.

Topmist howled in anguish, as his palm was burning. It had been ignited by that film of blood. The unendurable pain caused him to unhesitatingly slam his hand against the Three-Tailed Greedbeast.

It did not move or resist, and it just allowed Topmist’s palm to land on its body. Its gigantic form directly shattered, and Topmist’s attack did not lose any power as it continued on into outer space and even traveled through the danger zones of the sourceboxes.

Countless eyes looked at Topmist in shock, and then at the blood that now covered the sky. This person had just smacked an almighty powerhouse with a power level of over 300,000 to death in just one strike.

Liu Qiuyu stared up from beneath the ground, and there was an indescribable astonishment in his eyes.

Wang Wen’s mouth gaped open. There was actually another thing that he had not predicted.

Topmist kept howling in anguish. His hand had disappeared. It had burnt away to nothingness.

The ancient box that had held the film of blood was also split open, and there was nothing left within it since the Bloodied Handprint had disappeared after being used.

The Three-Tailed Greedbeast had died, and it caused the other astral beasts to quickly retreat.

Cursewind nervously dashed out of Seasons Fort. The humans had too many hidden tricks, and who knew what other power vessels they might still have in reserve. That palm had been too frightening, and the blue lion had never felt such an overwhelming strength like that. It was as if the strength was from the heavens themselves.

Everyone in the fort relaxed. They had been lucky enough to survive, despite all of them assuming that they would absolutely die in this battle.

Liu Qiuyu soared in the air and looked at Topmist.

Everyone else also looked at him, as he had been the biggest contributor to their survival during this battle.

Wang Wen stepped out of his coffin and moved in front of Topmist to heap praise upon the Enlighter.

Topmist was agonized, as that power vessel had been Mafioso Planet’s inherited Bloodied Handprint. It was already nothing more than a film since it had been used once before in the past. He had not thought that it would disappear with just one more use, as he had been saving it as his personal trump card as well.

Still, Topmist did not reveal his thoughts, and he remained very stoic as he stored the box away. Aside from Wu Shen himself, nobody else knew that the Bloodied Handprint was permanently gone now, and keeping that as a secret could be used to intimidate others.

The humans thought that killing the Three-Tailed Greedbeast would intimidate the astral beasts into granting them a few days respite, but nobody guessed that the beasts would attack again the very next day.

Still, the subsequent assault did not have any experts whose power levels exceeded 300,000. Instead, there were an additional two Enlighter realm astral beasts. It had been absolutely worthwhile to use the Bloodied Handprint to kill a powerhouse whose power level exceeded 300,000, but it would not be worth it cost to use it on an Enlighter beast. The Astral Beast Domain was indeed not foolish.

The battle that would conclude the astral beasts’ invasion into the Outerverse was too intense, and the astral beasts seemed very pressured to succeed. Despite the absurd battle power that Topmist had revealed, the astral beasts’ determination did not waver in the slightest.

Seasons Fort was on the verge of collapse.
