Book 7, Chapter 48: Defiance

Hidden Cloud continued its barrage of frenzied and vicious fist strikes that were ai in particular

The silver river of flah the sky

This silver river lasted for an entire three hours before showing signs of weakening

Hidden Cloud was beginning to run out of steay couldn’t handle its expenditure rate Every one of Hidden Cloud’s attacks was unleashed at full-pohich hy it had run out of energy after just half a day It wouldn’t even be able to last for as long as the golden falcon

Even so, Hidden Cloud continued to madly wave its fists in the air

It alainst the Heavens, deter breath

And it truly lasted to its dying breath!

Boom!

After one final, barbaric punch, Hidden Cloud’s ar halt

It stood there, coan to shrink

Eventually, Hidden Cloud had become the size of a mere huence also began to return to it

It opened its eyes and glanced at Su Chen, opening itsBut it was unable to find the words, and it eventually closed its round

A wisp of fog rose fro into a steady strea had completely dissipated, so had Hidden Cloud All that reht that twitched every so often

This body of light was Hidden Cloud’s true form Actually, it was quite si to powerful entities to ensure its survival

While attached to a host organism, it would absorb its host’s life force until its host had been fully transformed into an ethereal state Then, it would assi it

This was the real secret behind its ability to alternate between tangible and intangible states

Hidden Cloud had died, and it was probably the first Desolate Beast to die by expending every ounce of its energy in battle When Hidden Cloud’sthe parasitic creature inside

The parasite was in a seh it had lost a large a on the ground

This writhing, however, was not a sign of life but of death When this parasite died, its writhing would only growIt actually didn’t need any energy source of any kind to sustain its anism’s funda bug, he suddenly realized sonize the parasite before hie that he had accu tens of thousands of books In some sense, it was only natural that he could iht

Su Chen suddenly felt extremely fortunate that he had stumbled across this insect “Wow, this is really a treasure”

He pulled out a jade box and put the bug corpse inside

After taking care of this, Su Chen glanced around and verified that no living De to leave

Some time after Su Chen left, a nearby rock suddenly shi+fted

A shadow crept out froradually returned to a physical forn Kucha, and his expression was filled with shock He couldn’t stop hile hued to kill Elder Hidden Cloud? This is even o and awaken the Barbaric Ancestor immediately!”

After Kucha said this, he flew off into the distance, leaving the blood-stained canyon behind

As such, Kucha failed to notice that, not long after he left, the fresh blood on the ground had begun squir

Back in Sky City:

The battle here was in full swing

Floating shuttles swayed back and forth while flying swords danced in the sky

Sky City’s powerful defenses were no longer a nightmare to the human forces Instead, they had become the human race’sClah an endless sea of human soldiers

Even Desolate Beasts would be tore of attacks that they were currently suffering fro Clae

However, the ways in which they expressed their rage was different

White Lion was a typical Desolate Beast, so it attacked by slaainst Sky City’s iron defenses Every leap it took sent ittens of thousands of feet in seconds, every bite was thousands of teeth raking across Sky City’s barrier, every strike of its paw could obliterate ain fear

It could be said that White Lion’s way of fighting deht of a Desolate Beast without any pretense The sheer aura that it exuded seeh to devour all of the soldiers present

Towering Clam, on the other hand, was the exact opposite

Towering Clam remained quiet and motionless the entire tihtly open its shell every once in a while

It was in no position to pounce on Sky City

Its silence, however, was the silence of death, and it brought devastation upon the human soldiers

It had carved out a circle a hundred thousand feet in radius around itself that was completely calm and peaceful

No lifeforms were present in that circle apart from the fifty titan-Class puppets

This area was a zone of absolute death created by Towering Claanism that entered this zone would have their lifeforce constantly sapped ahich would only serve to increase its strength Whenever so died within this zone, it would also be turned into a puppet for Towering Clam to control as it pleased Only the titan-Class puppets could ignore this effect

However, the titan-Class puppets alone could not kill Towering Claher than Cloudmother Metal Essence The only material that was more durable than its shell was probably the Arcane Turtle’s shell
