King of Creation-Chapter 644 - 636: Single Beast Tide

"Damn it, who did I provoke to deserve such an immense hunt against me?" As he looked at the beast tide stretching for dozens to hundreds of miles behind him, Ye Zhen felt a strong urge to curse.

Is it necessary to chase me relentlessly?

Moreover, this isn’t logical!

Previously, Ye Zhen had encountered several waves of Demon Beasts, including Heavenly Level Middle Grade and Heavenly Level High Grade Demon Beasts, but they would give up once he shook them off and put dozens of miles between them.

However, this wave was entirely different.

For instance, the groups of Heavenly Level Lower Grade Demon Beasts, which were the slowest, Ye Zhen had already left them hundreds of miles behind, yet they still pursued him tirelessly. If it were daytime, it might not be so noticeable, but at night, the Spirit Light emitted around their bodies while flying was extremely conspicuous.

The relentless pursuit of these Heavenly Level Lower Grade Demon Beasts wasn’t much, for with the speed of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, he could still escape them, but those Heavenly Level High Grade and Middle Grade Demon Beasts that were only a few to several tens of miles away from Ye Zhen were truly terrifying.

The closest were only seven or eight miles away from Ye Zhen, with most between ten to thirty miles. Ye Zhen was certain that if his speed decreased even a little, the more than twenty Heavenly Level High Grade and Middle Grade Demon Beasts behind him would encircle him.

Most daunting of all, as the army of the beast tide chasing Ye Zhen passed through more and more areas, more Demon Beasts joined in, and their ranks grew increasingly formidable!

"Damn it, Lio Kechu also fled, why don’t they chase after him?"

Ye Zhen was puzzled by this bizarre situation.

However, Ye Zhen no longer had time to ponder all this, because the two flying class Heavenly Level High Grade Demon Beasts pursuing him the closest had now closed the gap to just four miles, a distance from which they could initiate an attack.

Out of necessity, Ye Zhen resorted to old tricks again.

Riding backwards on the Cloud Winged Tiger King, he continuously bombarded the two swift flying Heavenly Level High Grade Demon Beasts with "Heavenly Thunder of Fright."

If "Heavenly Thunder of Fright" hit, it could stagnate their flight for one or two breaths, creating a gap of dozens of miles between them.

But soon enough, they caught up again.

If he missed, the force of the Heavenly Thunder of Fright could still startle them and slightly increase the distance.

Of course, this was under the presumption that Cloud Winged Tiger King was at its limit speed, enhanced by a War Soul Blood Banner Blessing and supported by Ye Zhen using the Geomagnetic Field combined with Heavenly Thunder of Fright, which could barely keep them from catching up.

But the problem was, this extreme speed was too much for Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten to maintain for long. Even if Ye Zhen continuously fed it Spiritual Medicine, Spirit Crystals, and Spirit Pills like water, at most it could last for just over one hour.

Most crucially, Ye Zhen had been severely injured earlier when breaking through a group of beasts, his breastbone completely shattered. Riding on the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten now, he could barely manage by supporting himself with Spiritual Power, but vigorous combat was absolutely out of the question.

A single sharp pain in his chest could disrupt Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul actions.

The kitten could only hold on for just over one hour, and Ye Zhen was unable to fight in the short term. That meant that after just over one hour, his death was certain, assuming nothing unexpected happened en route.

If they encountered one or two Heavenly Level High Grade Demon Beasts along the way, then Ye Zhen’s death would come even sooner.

At that instant, Ye Zhen realized he was nearly in a deadly predicament. Given the relentless nature of this beast tide pursuing him, even if he used his ultimate treasure, the Demon Cloud Fruit, solely for survival, it would be futile.

As for the art of creating Spirit Shadows, Ye Zhen had considered it. He could create several Spirit Shadows, but they move slowly and would be destroyed almost instantly, being of no help at all.

Beyond that, the only methods Ye Zhen had left for survival were two. The first was Illusion!

Setting up an Illusion Array with the Essence Spirit Pearl of the Phantom Soul Beast King might allow him to escape, but it was extremely difficult!

Given such high speeds, setting up an Illusion Array that could affect Heavenly Level High Grade Demon Beasts was highly improbable.

The other method for survival was entering the Demon Soul Hall, which Ye Zhen had not used in a long time. There, he could potentially hide inside the Demon Soul Hall, which could result in two outcomes. The first and most desired outcome by Ye Zhen was that the beast tide chasing him would disperse.

However, it was also possible that the Demon Beasts pursuing Ye Zhen would not disperse and would begin besieging the Demon Soul Hall. What followed would be up to fate; when the Spirit Crystals were depleted, it would be Ye Zhen’s end.

Ye Zhen was not willing to leave his fate to chance until the very last moment.

"Alas, if only I were uninjured, and could increase the distance a bit further, perhaps..." With this thought, Ye Zhen suddenly remembered a treasure.

The next moment, the Longevity Holy Water that he had acquired not long ago from Cui Zhixun, a Martial Artist of the Longevity Sect, appeared in Ye Zhen’s hand.

"Longevity Sect, I hope your Longevity Holy Water isn’t just some trick..." With a tilt of his head, Ye Zhen gulped down half a bottle of the blue Longevity Holy Water, leaving not a drop behind.

The coolness of the blue Longevity Holy Water spread through his body the moment it entered his stomach, and a sudden surge of unprecedented vital force spread from his chest to his limbs. Just a breath’s time later, his shattered ribs and injured organs became the primary focus of this surging vitality.

Within just a few breaths, an itchy, tingling sensation emanated from Ye Zhen’s entire chest, as if countless ants were crawling over it.

This feeling, all too familiar to a Martial Artist accustomed to injuries, signaled the growth of new tissue on bones and the healing of wounds.

"Oh..."

A few breaths later, Ye Zhen couldn’t help but let out a stretching roar, the itchiness was simply too overwhelming.

But amid the itchiness, Ye Zhen’s eyes were filled with surprise.

Now, he understood that Cui Zhixun had not deceived him—the life-saving gift that the Longevity Sect Master, Yin Changsheng, bestowed upon the Martial Artists of the sect was indeed priceless.

Ye Zhen estimated that its value was absolutely no less than a Demon Cloud Fruit.

Even the wounds that Ye Zhen’s Purple Jade Battle Body needed an entire day to recover from had now healed more than 70% in just a few minutes, and the healing was still rapidly progressing.

This effect was like that of unimaginable Spiritual Medicine, "Longevity Holy Water" was definitely a fitting name.

In an instant, Ye Zhen felt an urge to slay the disciples of the Longevity Sect and seize this Longevity Holy Water.

Simply in terms of preserving life, the value of this Longevity Holy Water was even more precious than Ye Zhen’s Demon Cloud Fruit.

Suddenly, Ye Zhen became curious—where had the Longevity Sect Master, Yin Changsheng, obtained such a terrifying healing Longevity Holy Water?

As his injuries quickly healed, Ye Zhen’s confidence surged, and his options increased significantly.

Demon Beasts were a terrifying existence, but when a Martial Artist had sufficient room to maneuver, the Demon Beasts were not so scary in the face of a Martial Artist’s wisdom.

At that moment, Ye Zhen realized that the previously terrifying Demon Beasts had become not so formidable.

In this high-speed chase, most of the Demon Beasts, especially the Heavenly Level Lower Grade and Heavenly Level Middle Grade ones not adept at speed, were left far behind, mostly out of Ye Zhen’s sight.

Ye Zhen estimated that the furthest had been left behind by about 300 miles.

For Demon Beasts not adept at speed, even the fastest would need between 200 to 300 breaths, and the slower ones might even need 600 to 700 breaths, over one half of a quarter-hour, to catch up with Ye Zhen.

At this time, within the extreme range of Ye Zhen’s vision, there were still about fifteen or sixteen Demon Beasts, among them, four were Heavenly Level High Grade, and the rest were Heavenly Level Middle Grade Demon Beasts.

And with the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten running nearly 20,000 miles under Ye Zhen’s enhancement at extreme speed, those Heavenly Level Middle Grade Demon Beasts and the other two slower Heavenly Level High Grade Demon Beasts were getting further and further away from Ye Zhen.

Watching this scene, Ye Zhen suddenly had an extremely bold and crazy idea—he wanted to challenge the Beast Tide alone!

"Kitten, how much longer can you keep going?"

"Master, at most 15 minutes, my Spiritual Power will be drained to depletion, and I’m afraid I’ll fall into a dormant state...." communicated the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten with Divine Soul Power to Ye Zhen.

"Once you fall into dormancy, you might not even be able to maintain the Universe Wishful Secret Technique, and I won’t be able to take you away! Just hold on for another half a quarter-hour, take to the skies and hide while I attack!"

"Master, what about you...."

"My injuries have healed, and I have my own ways to preserve my life, and also, you need to quickly recover your strength."

The Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten responded with Divine Soul Power, only a deep roar in return to Ye Zhen, knowing that at the critical moment, its master might still rely on its speed.

Ye Zhen wasted no time and quickly swallowed another Three Treasures Returning Spirit Pill, wanting to return to peak condition before the battle began!

Suddenly, Ye Zhen felt the speed of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten slow down, Ye Zhen knew the kitten’s earlier response had already been somewhat desperate.

At this moment, Ye Zhen’s injuries had fully recovered, the Spiritual Power in his Dantian had returned to 90%, and the Demon Beasts following behind had been thrown a few hundred miles further back, even the dozen or so Heavenly Level Middle Grade Demon Beasts that had been closely pursuing him had vanished from Ye Zhen’s line of sight.

"Phew... this sort of fuel-adding tactic in a general Beast Tide isn’t that scary!"

"Kitten, get ready!"

Ye Zhen suddenly took a deep breath, his eyes bulging out, staring deadly at a Flying Sky Demon Lizard only five or six miles away from him, a Heavenly Level High Grade Demon Beast.

In his eyes, even in his Divine Sense, was full of disdainful provocation and contempt!

The Heavenly Level High Grade Demon Beast was extremely intelligent and instantly understood Ye Zhen’s intentions.

Roar!

The Flying Sky Demon Lizard let out an angry roar. Its head bulged out with eyes as large as a bull’s, staring fiercely at Ye Zhen, its pitch-black, horn-like wings flashing with Spirit Light, its speed suddenly surged!

At the very moment the bull-sized eyes of the Flying Sky Demon Lizard focused on Ye Zhen, Ye Zhen’s eyes suddenly blazed with a purgatorial brilliance.

Phantom Soul Divine Eye!

Instantly, the gaze of the Flying Sky Demon Lizard was trapped, filled with fear!

Almost simultaneously, Ye Zhen’s figure slightly floated, and the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, like a bolt of lightning, shot out from beneath Ye Zhen, straight into the sky, while Ye Zhen’s speed sharply dropped!

Screech!

Almost at the same time, a Wind-Splitting Xuan-Tailed Vulture let out a piercing cry and surpassed the Flying Sky Demon Lizard, attacking Ye Zhen. Its giant wings swept up, a dark green giant Wind Spirit Blade, carrying a piercing sound of tearing the air, roared towards Ye Zhen!(To be continued.
