Chapter 150

In the following time, the three women took turns, and the four of them were completely immersed in this unprecedented joy. No one noticed that Sleeping Beauty, who had been completely still, suddenly twitched her fingers and seemed to furrow her brows slightly.

More than an hour later, the aircraft, which was flying automatically, suddenly shook violently, followed by a loud bang that reached the ears of Wang Yue and his companions, and the aircraft stopped.

“What’s going on?” The four were startled, wondering if some kind of blind beast was attacking the aircraft.

Only a powerful ferocious beast at the Transcendent Realm could force an aircraft to stop with a single blow.

Forget about continuing the revelry, Wang Yue straightened his clothes, opened the door of the aircraft, and went out.

There were no ferocious beasts in front of the aircraft, but there was a group of creatures even more terrifying than the beasts.

There were five human experts, four of whom stood on the ground below, while the other, a tall, burly bald man, floated in mid-air.

A transcendent being!

“Who are you, and why are you attacking my aircraft?” Wang Yue did not attack directly, because a Transcendent Realm expert could easily shatter an aircraft with a single blow. This person only forced it to stop, clearly holding back.

“Hand over the Holy Maiden!” The bald, burly man didn’t answer Wang Yue’s question, but glared at him fiercely, his threat evident in his words.

Wang Yue was taken aback: “What saintess?”

“Still pretending to be confused? You’re asking for death!” the bald, burly man roared, and suddenly threw a punch.

As the punch was thrown, a dazzling golden light surged from the bald man’s fist, striking Wang Yue’s chest directly.

Seeing that his opponent would use a deadly move without warning, Wang Yue was also enraged. He snorted coldly and struck out with his own palm.

boom!

The palm wind and the fist force collided in mid-air, producing a loud bang. The golden light was dispersed by Wang Yue’s palm wind, but Wang Yue’s palm force was also completely exhausted and disappeared without a trace.

After the attack, both of them frowned slightly, secretly shocked by the other’s strength.

This bald, burly man was actually much stronger than Yang Guang, and was very likely a powerful being in the late stage of the Transcendent Realm.

Wang Yue never expected that he would encounter such a powerful guy just by going home.

The bald, burly man was utterly astonished. This young man, not even twenty years old, had actually managed to withstand a punch from him without being at a disadvantage. Looking at the ten supreme powers, there seemed to be no one like him.

Who exactly is he? Could he be a prodigy secretly cultivated by some supreme power?

Upon realizing this, the bald, burly man not only did not stop out of fear, but his killing intent intensified. With another loud shout, he charged forward.

Wang Yue was worried that the aftershocks of their battle would affect the aircraft and injure Su Nuanyue, her daughter, and Sleeping Beauty inside. So he immediately gave a soft shout and went out to meet them, intercepting the bald man halfway and fighting him.

At this moment, Yu Suxin and her daughter Su Nuanyue also came out of the aircraft. Seeing Wang Yue fighting with the bald man, Yu Suxin shouted and prepared to rush up to help.

“Master, the next four are yours.” Wang Yue said to Su Xin while exchanging blows with the bald, burly man, adding at the end, “Leave one alive.”

These guys attacked right away, and even talked about a saintess. Although Wang Yue already had some guesses, it would be better to leave one alive to find out the truth.

The bald, burly man was no weaker than himself. Even if he could win, he could only kill him at most. It was impossible to capture him alive. He could only try to take advantage of the four people below.

As for Yu Suxin fighting four people alone, Wang Yue was not worried at all. He could tell from the fact that the four people were standing on the ground instead of flying in the air like the bald giant that they were at most at the Transcendent Realm.

There is a huge gap between the Mortal Transformation Realm and the Transcendent Realm. Even if those four people were all at the peak of the Mortal Transformation Realm, they would not be a match for Yu Suxin, who was only at the late stage of the first level of the Transcendent Realm. After all, not everyone in this world is as monstrous as Wang Yue, who had the combat power of the Transcendent Realm when he was in the Mortal Transformation Realm.

Even if there were any, they couldn’t possibly be among those four. After all, although the bald, burly man’s cultivation was high, his combat strength was only average. How strong could the people who followed him be?

Apart from Wang Yue and his group of five, there was no other trace of human beings within a ten-kilometer radius, so there was no possibility of any other ambush.

This made Wang Yue put aside all his worries and focus all his attention on fighting the bald, burly man.

This is a clash between quality and quantity.

The bald giant was five minor realms higher than Wang Yue. Don’t underestimate these minor realms; once you reach the Transcendent Realm, the gap between each minor realm is much greater than that in the Mortal Transformation Realm, and it’s incomparable to the Return to Truth Realm.

Even the Returning to Truth Realm has its own level of difficulty, so the difference between the minor realms of the Transcendence Realm is unimaginable.

The bald, burly man’s internal energy must be at least ten times that of Wang Yue.

Wang Yue, however, had the advantage of having sufficiently pure internal energy, more than fifty times that of the bald man. Therefore, the power of each move he made was no weaker than that of the bald man.

For a time, the two were evenly matched, neither able to gain the upper hand.

While Wang Yue and his companion were locked in a stalemate, the situation on the other battlefield was quite different.

Just as Wang Yue had expected, the four people following the bald giant were all at the Transcendent Realm, and only one of them was at the peak of the Transcendent Realm. The other three were not even at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, and their combat strength was also mediocre.

These four people would be no match for ordinary late-stage Transcendent Realm cultivators, let alone Yu Suxin, whose true energy has been greatly purified after cultivating with Wang Yue. Dealing with these four people would be a piece of cake for her.

After only a few moves, the weakest of the four, the sixth level of the Transcendent Realm, was knocked down by Yu Suxin with a single palm strike and could not rise again.

Yu Suxin’s palm strike didn’t kill him, not because she couldn’t, but because she deliberately held back.

Since Wang Yue said he wanted to capture them alive, he meant he wanted to get something out of them, and Yu Suxin naturally fully supported Wang Yue’s decision.

Moreover, she had enough strength to completely suppress these four people, so it would be better to keep all four alive. After all, if only one was left alive, and they encountered a tough nut to crack, they wouldn’t be able to get any confessions.

After several more moves, a guy at the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm also fell down, leaving only a guy at the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm and a guy at the peak of the Transcendent Realm struggling to hold on.

In mid-air, Wang Yue and the bald giant fought with lightning speed, exchanging over a hundred blows in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the benefits of pure true qi became apparent. Wang Yue fought with increasing ferocity, while the bald, burly man gradually began to show signs of fatigue.

This is like colliding an iron ball with a stone ball ten times its size. At first, they are evenly matched, and the stone ball may even knock the iron ball back due to its greater weight.

However, as the number of impacts increased, the iron ball remained unharmed, but the stone ball inevitably broke. Moreover, if this continued, there was only one fate for the stone ball: to be smashed and shattered.

The bald, burly man clearly realized this as well. He glanced at his four subordinates below, who were in even worse shape than him, and with a fierce determination, he roared, “Transform!”

Wang Yue couldn’t help but wonder: What the hell? Could these guys be Saiyans from Planet Vegeta who are above their level?

Despite his doubts, Wang Yue understood that this transformation was definitely the opponent’s trump card, and he couldn’t let them complete it.

He immediately intensified his attack, unleashing a series of palm strikes, combining the Wang Family Jade-Breaking Palm with the characteristics of an eighth-level gale. At the same time, he also kicked out with both legs, displaying the Heaven-rank martial skill Wind God Leg.

Bang bang bang bang bang~

The bald, burly man was hit one after another, and in the blink of an eye, his internal organs were injured, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.

However, his aura did not weaken with his injury; on the contrary, it became even stronger.

A moment later, the bald, burly man suddenly roared, his voice not like a human’s, but more like the roar of a lion.

His already imposing physique instantly grew another third larger, and as if by magic, more than a foot of yellow hair and a beard grew on his bald head, standing upright like the mane of a lion.

“The Golden Lion King?!”

Wang Yue exclaimed inwardly, but his attacks with his hands and feet showed no sign of slowing down; he continued to assault his opponent like a storm.

However, after the transformation, the bald giant’s strength and speed increased by about 30%, and the injuries he sustained from being hit by Wang Yue during the transformation seemed to have healed instantly.

The two were evenly matched to begin with, and Wang Yue only gained a slight advantage after more than a hundred moves. Now that the bald giant had become so much stronger, the situation was reversed, and the bald giant was now dominating Wang Yue.

At this moment, several wolf howls came from the ground. Yu Suxin’s four opponents had also completed their transformations, and the changes were even greater than those of the bald giant. Their bodies were still human, but their heads had changed drastically. Their mouths protruded forward, their ears became much larger, and short gray hairs grew all over their heads, making them look like four wolf-headed monsters.

Orcs? Monsters?

Whether it was Wang Yue, Yu Suxin, or Su Nuanyue and her daughter standing on the aircraft, they were all startled.

This change was beyond their comprehension; they had never heard of such a species existing in the world.

Although the four of them had also completed their transformations, and even the two who had been defeated had regained their fighting power, they were still no match for Yu Suxin, and it was impossible for them to defeat her.

However, Yu Suxin’s desire to quickly subdue them and bring them up to help Wang Yue was not something that could be done in a short time, unless she left them alone.

However, although those in the Transcendent Realm cannot fly, their jumping ability is extremely strong, and it is not difficult for them to jump to the height of the aircraft. Once Yu Suxin is no longer suppressing them, Su Nuanyue and her daughter will be in danger.

Left with no other choice, Yu Suxin had to suppress her worries, grit her teeth, and use her most powerful moves to quickly subdue the four werewolves and go up to help Wang Yue.

Although Wang Yue was already at a disadvantage in mid-air, it was not something the bald giant could defeat him in a short time.

Compared to Yu Suxin’s ease and control, the battle between the two in the sky was much more brutal. Wang Yue and the bald giant abandoned their ranged attacks and engaged in close combat, with every punch landing and every kick aimed at the other’s vital points.

In just a moment, both of them coughed up blood, but Wang Yue’s injuries were much more severe than his opponent’s.

It wasn’t that Wang Yue didn’t want to use his speed advantage with the Wind God Leg to fight his opponent. If he could, he wouldn’t want to fight head-on like this. After all, this transformation technique was clearly a secret technique that couldn’t last indefinitely. In fact, he might even enter a weakened state after the transformation ended. Fighting his opponent was much more advantageous for Wang Yue.

However, although this bald, burly man was physically imposing and resembled a berserker, he was actually quite cunning and had already set his sights on the aircraft. If Wang Yue distanced himself from him, he would definitely abandon Wang Yue and rush straight for Su Nuanyue and her daughter.

Seeing that if things continued like this, he would probably be the first to die before the other party finished transforming, and that the bald man was still looking at the aircraft with ill intent, Wang Yue couldn’t help but feel ruthless. When the other party threw another punch, he suddenly gave up and let the punch hit his chest.

boom!

Pfft~

A heavy thud rang out, and Wang Yue spat out blood, but took the opportunity to tightly wrap his left arm around the bald man’s right arm, while simultaneously urging his true energy to circulate wildly through his meridians.

Gale-force winds of level 8, full power operation!

Alarm bells rang in the bald, burly man’s mind, and he instinctively wanted to dodge.

However, his right arm was tightly locked by Wang Yue, and he couldn’t break free even after struggling.

In the blink of an eye, with just that brief delay, Wang Yue’s true energy had already completed nine rotations, unleashing his most powerful punch, which struck the bald man’s left cheek heavily.

Seeing that he couldn’t dodge, the bald, burly man hardened his heart and struck Wang Yue’s chest with his free left hand.

boom!

With a deafening roar, the two who had been entangled were instantly separated. Wang Yue was sent flying backward, spitting out blood several feet away, which even contained fragments of his internal organs.

The bald, burly man fared even worse. He was sent flying, spinning like a windmill. His face was completely distorted by Wang Yue’s punch, and all his teeth were knocked out.

The bald, burly man felt a strong wave of dizziness that almost made him faint. He also felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. He knew that he had been hit by the punch and suffered a severe concussion, and his thoughts were starting to become confused.

His last shred of consciousness told him that if he continued fighting, he would definitely die at the hands of the enemy.

Driven by his survival instinct, the bald man made a decision instantly. Using the force of the backward flight, he turned and ran, completely disregarding his four henchmen.

Wang Yue suffered two heavy blows from his opponent, and his internal injuries were also extremely severe. However, he knew very well that if he let this bald, burly man escape, the trouble in the future would definitely be even greater.

Ignoring his injuries, he used his Wind God Leg technique to its fullest extent and caught up with the bald giant in the blink of an eye. With a flash of cold light, the long sword that he had been keeping in his spatial ring appeared in his hand.

Because he lacks good swordsmanship, using a knife during close combat would limit Wang Yue’s performance, but for decapitation, it would be better to hold a sharp weapon.

“die!”

Wang Yue let out a soft shout and unleashed another full-power level eight gale. With a single slash, he created a hurricane far exceeding level twelve, which also vertically cleaved the bald giant’s over two-and-a-half-meter-tall body in two.

Pfft~

Despite being severely injured, he exerted all his energy, even beyond his capacity, which aggravated Wang Yue’s injuries. He spat out another mouthful of blood and fell from mid-air like a kite with a broken string.

Before he even landed, Wang Yue was caught in a soft embrace. It was Yu Suxin, who had just dealt with the four werewolves and arrived just in time.

“Wang Yue, how are you?” Sensing Wang Yue’s faint breath, Yu Suxin became extremely anxious and asked repeatedly.

“Master, don’t worry, I’m fine.” Wang Yue forced a smile: “Did you leave any survivors?”

“I spared them.” Yu Suxin nodded. Originally, she wanted to keep all four of them alive, but she was in a hurry to help Wang Yue, so she had to be ruthless and kill two of them, leaving only two alive.

“Okay, let’s go and interrogate them quickly to find out who these people are.” Wang Yue said, forcing himself to stay calm. He couldn’t feel at ease until he found out who these people were and whether there were any hidden dangers.

Yu Suxin understood Wang Yue’s feelings and agreed. She carried him to the battlefield where they had been before, only to find that two werewolves were already dead, and the other two had deactivated their transformations and were lying limp on the ground, unable to move.

“Answer my questions honestly, or I will make you wish you were dead,” Wang Yue said calmly, looking at the two men.

Although Wang Yue was in bad shape, the two men had witnessed him cleaving the bald man in two with a single stroke, and they were terrified. Moreover, Yu Suxin, who had personally injured them severely, was also present, so they naturally dared not show any disrespect.

“If we cooperate, can you spare our lives?” one of them asked tentatively.

“No.” Wang Yue shook his head: “But I can give you a quick death, so that you won’t have to suffer all kinds of torture before you die.”

Knowing they were doomed no matter what, a look of sorrow flashed in their eyes as they resignedly said, “Fine, ask away.”

“Wait a minute!” Just as Wang Yue was about to ask a question, Yu Suxin interrupted, “Ask them one by one. If their answers don’t match, then prepare to face the most cruel torture in the world.”

After saying that, she gently waved her hand, knocking one of them unconscious from a distance.

“Master is truly experienced!” Wang Yue gave Yu Suxin a thumbs up, then asked the one who was still conscious, “Who are you people?”

The two of them did indeed intend to use false information to trick Wang Yue and provoke the forces behind him to take revenge on them, but after Yu Suxin’s actions, they no longer dared to have any other thoughts.

After all, he didn’t want to suffer inhuman torture before his death, so he honestly replied, “We are disciples of the Beast God Temple.”

With just one sentence, both Wang Yue and Yu Suxin were somewhat frightened.

Damn it, how did we suddenly get involved with the Temple of the Beast God?

This is one of the top ten supreme powers at the holy land level, and it seems to be the strongest one.

Even with all his confidence, Wang Yue didn’t believe he had the strength to confront the Beast God Temple.

Taking a deep breath to suppress his shock, Wang Yue asked again, “And who is that bald man?”

“He is Elder Mad Lion of the temple,” the man replied honestly.

“And what about the Holy Maiden?” Wang Yue continued to ask. He had no grudge against the Beast God Temple, so he was being targeted by them for no reason. It was because of the Holy Maiden that he naturally wanted to find out.

“The Saintess Project began fifty years ago, aiming to extract the best genes from humans, ferocious beasts, and sea monsters and fuse them together to create a perfect warrior who could transcend levels. This research lasted for many years, and it wasn’t until sixteen years ago that a perfect Saintess was finally created. However, not long after the transformation was completed, the Saintess disappeared. For the past ten years, the temple has sent dozens of elders to search for the Saintess’s whereabouts in various places. Elder Mad Lion just now sensed the Saintess’s aura, which is why he intercepted you.” The Beast God Temple disciple didn’t know what Wang Yue was asking, so he simply told him everything he knew about the Saintess.

Sixteen years ago, the timing was perfect!

Wang Yue’s suspicions were confirmed: the so-called saintess was none other than Sleeping Beauty.

But what he couldn’t understand was, since this saintess was a perfect warrior painstakingly created by the Beast God Temple, she should be showered with love and affection, so why did she run away alone and fall unconscious in that secret realm?

There might be something else going on that is best left unsaid, but this disciple of the Beast God Temple is obviously of too low a status to possibly know.

Moreover, Wang Yue wasn’t particularly interested in the secrets involved. He just wanted to know if he would get into big trouble because of this, so he asked, “How did you determine the location of the Holy Maiden?”

“Only the elders know how to distinguish the Holy Maiden’s aura, and it must be within a range of one hundred kilometers.”

Wang Yue’s heart skipped a beat, and he asked, “Have you been to Kaifeng before?”

“Of course I’ve been there, but I didn’t find the Saintess’s aura there.” The disciple had completely resigned himself to his fate and was completely open to answering.

Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Beast God Temple was looking for the Holy Maiden because of her alluring charm. If he hadn’t released his true energy suppression, he wouldn’t have attracted this Mad Lion Elder.

In that case, he doesn’t need to give up this Sleeping Beauty who can bring him and his women endless benefits; he just needs to be careful not to let her aura leak out.

“Besides the five of you, does anyone else know about your interception of me? Are there any other elders of the Beast God Temple nearby?” Wang Yue asked again.

The disciple shook his head and said, “Elder Mad Lion wanted to take all the credit for himself and did not inform anyone else. The various elders of the temple are scattered all over the place searching for the Holy Maiden. This area of ​​several thousand miles is Elder Mad Lion’s search range. There are no other elders here.”

Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief again. It seemed that as long as he didn’t do anything reckless and let Sleeping Beauty’s aura leak out, the Beast God Temple wouldn’t be able to find him for a while.

Given enough time, even just a year, he was confident he could break through to the Sky Soaring Realm. At that point, the Beast God Palace and the Beast Ghost Palace would be no problem at all.

Now that he had already considered the Beast God Temple as a hypothetical enemy, Wang Yue naturally wanted to understand them, so he asked, “How many elders does the Beast God Temple have, and what are their cultivation levels? How many of them are in the Transcendent Realm?”

“In the temple, anyone whose cultivation reaches the late stage of the Transcendent Realm will become an elder, there are more than fifty of them. There are more than three hundred people in the early and middle stages of the Transcendent Realm.”

Damn it!

Upon hearing this number, both Wang Yue and Yu Suxin couldn’t help but secretly marvel.

The Beast God Temple alone has nearly four hundred people at the Transcendent Realm or above, which is more than the entire population of Yangjia Village.

They’re both sacred places of martial arts, so why is there such a big difference?

However, Wang Yue’s horizons had broadened, and the Transcendent Realm was no longer a potential enemy for him. He immediately asked, “What about the Sky Soaring Realm? How many are there in the Beast God Palace?”

“Besides the Palace Master, everyone in the Sky Realm is a Supreme Elder. They are in seclusion year-round, and I don’t know how many there are,” the disciple said, shaking his head.

“And what’s with your transformations?” Yu Suxin asked from the side.

“The ability to transform is a byproduct of the Saintess Project. Everyone in the temple now has the genes of ferocious beasts or sea monsters integrated into their bodies. When activated at crucial moments, it can increase combat power. However, after the transformation ends, there will be a period of weakness. Moreover, the transformation can easily prevent one from further improving their cultivation level, so it cannot be used lightly.” The disciple answered in great detail, though it was unclear what his motivation was.

It has to be said that the Beast God Temple is really something else; it can actually create genetic warriors without much side effect, and the effects are top-notch.

Wang Yue had just experienced it firsthand; even a powerful expert in the late Transcendent Realm could experience a 30% increase in combat power.

Now Wang Yue really wants to find that guy who researched the Saintess Project, point at him and say: You’re a fucking genius!

Yu Suxin then asked, “Does the Beast God Temple have any other Holy Maidens? Since they succeeded once sixteen years ago, it shouldn’t be difficult to train another one, right?”

The disciple shook his head and said, “If that’s the case, then we don’t need to go through the trouble of searching for the Holy Maiden. In fact, since the accidental success sixteen years ago, we haven’t succeeded again. It’s said that in the past ten years or so, tens of thousands of failed test subjects have been destroyed.”

“Experimental subjects?” Wang Yue frowned. “Do you use living people for experiments?”

“Yes, the Holy Maiden herself was created by selecting suitable human girls, injecting them with various genes, and then modifying them,” the disciple said matter-of-factly.

“Damn it!” Wang Yue couldn’t help but be furious. He didn’t consider himself a saint, but hearing such news still made him extremely angry. In just over ten years, tens of thousands of saintesses had failed in their transformations alone. What about the other experiments? How many people must have died!

Yu Suxin was also filled with righteous indignation and asked in a deep voice, “Where is the Beast God Temple?”

“I don’t know. All I know is that it’s a huge island with a diameter of no less than a thousand miles, surrounded by the vast ocean. Every time we travel, we stay in a sealed aircraft or submarine, and we are only released after we arrive at the destination. We have no way of knowing the location.”

Wang Yue and Yu Suxin exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat helpless.

An island with a diameter of a thousand miles would have been unique before the cataclysmic changes in the world, but now, such large islands are everywhere in the sea, making it impossible to find the location of the Beast God Temple by virtue of this.

However, there’s no need to worry about this now. After all, the difference in strength is too great. Even if they knew where the Beast God Temple was, they wouldn’t have the ability to eradicate this cancer on humanity.

Having learned more about the situation, Yu Suxin immediately knocked the disciple unconscious. Although it seemed he was telling the truth, it was always better to be cautious.

After waking up the other disciple of the Beast God Temple, Wang Yue and his companion asked the same question again, and received the exact same answer.

Subsequently, Yu Suxin kept her promise and gave the two a quick death.

As for letting them go, Wang Yue never even considered it; he didn’t want to gamble his own life and the lives of those around him on the other party’s character.

After dealing with the two, Yu Suxin picked up the still weak Wang Yue, flew onto the aircraft, and handed him over to Su Nuanyue and her daughter to take care of. She then returned to the ground and began cleaning up the battlefield.

Over the years, she had been evading the Xuan Su Sect’s pursuit, and she was an expert among experts when it came to erasing traces, so Wang Yue was very at ease.

Su Nuanyue and Yang Cancan helped Wang Yue into the cabin and laid him down.

Seeing him so badly injured, Su Nuanyue felt heartbroken and burst into tears, while Yang Cancan looked sullen and unhappy.

“Don’t be like that, you should be happy for me,” Wang Yue said with a smile. “After all, I just defeated a late-stage Transcendent Realm expert with only the cultivation of the second level of the Transcendent Realm. Isn’t that something to be happy about?”

Not wanting Wang Yue to worry about her instead, Su Nuanyue immediately forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.

Yang Cancan, however, remained sullen and said, “I’m angry at myself for not being able to help in any way.”

“No, you’ve already helped a lot,” Wang Yue said earnestly.

What he hates most is this kind of scenario: someone who can’t help at all insists on sharing life and death with others, and as a result, their involvement distracts their friends, causing them to lose a battle they could have won, and preventing them from escaping.

If Su Nuanyue and Yang Cancan were also like that, insisting on helping beyond their capabilities and causing Wang Yue to be distracted, then he would never be able to defeat Elder Mad Lion.

Therefore, the mother and daughter’s choice to stay far away from the battlefield greatly helped Wang Yue.
