Chapter 357: Withdraw!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wang Baole was confident about the prowess of his Eternal Fortress. That was also where he pinned his hopes on for this assessment. He felt that the other strongholds that the others had made were weak, while his was the only formidable one.

It was this thought that spurred him to participate and persevere until now, despite knowing that he didn’t have the support of any faction. Now, to a certain extent, he was no longer someone who was empty-handed and falling behind others. As a result of individual wins and losses, he had already swiftly closed the gap between him and the others.

This is known as using a battle to feed the next! Wang Baole thought arrogantly as his confidence in eventually emerging victorious and becoming the mayor of the New Mars Region grew. He felt that he had a good chance, and he looked at the other zones with greed in his eyes. The factions supporting the two candidates Kong Dao and Li Yi had provided each of them with an exaggerated amount of resources.

The resources were so abundant that Wang Baole felt that they must have been loaded. As for the other candidates, they were visibly less well off. There were even two candidates who had suffered significant losses and were now struggling to make ends meet.

However, Wang Baole had his own difficulties as well. He faced a problem in never having enough resources. He made a rough estimation and concluded that in order to perfectly create his Eternal Fortress, he needed to own two or three families worth of resources by himself. That, however, didn’t seem very practical or possible, as once someone was eliminated, people would definitely jump in to get a share of their resources.

Forget it. I’ll go according to the original plan to fight. Even if I can’t possess everything by myself, whatever they take away would still belong to me eventually. Wang Baole was in good spirits as he looked at the thousands of puppets who were busy at work, thinking about how he wouldn’t have to fight so hard for the next Beast Tide. His stronghold was imperfect now, but it would definitely be ready for combat by the time the next Beast Tide arrived.

I feel good. Wang Baole patted his stomach and was about to snack when suddenly, in the Divine Armament Catacombs outside, a loud boom emerged.

The noise was louder than what was heard before. That surprised all the candidates, including Wang Baole. After all, according to the previous intervals, at least an hour would be given for everyone to recuperate from the previous Beast Tide. However, right now, it was barely half an hour since the fourth Beast Tide had passed, yet the fifth wave was beginning!

Was the tempo increased, or was it because we spent too much time during the fourth wave? Wang Baole took a deep breath and leaped up immediately onto the city walls. He hurriedly took a look, and what he saw frightened him.

In reality, not only Wang Baole was taken aback. The other candidates also responded similarly; they breathed rapidly, a torrent of emotions crashing in their hearts.

Not only had the present Beast Tide arrived sooner, but there were also ten Death Beasts with cultivations on the level of early-stage Core Formation realm in the crowd. They were in various sizes, and all looked distinct from each other. However, what was common was that a black flame was present in their eyes that seemed to be capable of burning anything and everything. The black flame caused the area around them to warp.

The ripples produced by the Core Formation realm beasts were very distinct as they spread in all directions. Behind them were more than a hundred giant corpses similar to the ones Wang Baole had slain previously. The smell of rotting flesh emanated in all directions, inducing one to puke while freezing them in fear. There were also numerous combat vehicles and birds that were flying in the sky, screaming shrilly.

That scene made Wang Baole, the other candidates, and even the live stream viewers form the Federation freeze with fear, and noisy discussions erupted.

“What a huge leap in difficulty! How are they supposed to resist it?”

“Gosh, there are actually such frightening ferocious beasts on Mars! What level of cultivation do they have?”

As the people from the Federation erupted in commotion, Wang Baole and the rest of the people in the New Mars Region looked extremely solemn. Without hesitation, Li Yi and Kong Dao gave up on trying to tidy up. They disregarded the consequences and turned their efforts to build the best defenses instead, as they knew clearly that this current Beast Tide would very likely lead to the elimination of several candidates!

Right now, there were only seven candidates remaining!

Just as everyone was locked in a state of seriousness, and Wang Baole was breathing rapidly, a ferocious beast in the form of a giant winged bear—that seemed to be rotting on the exterior, yet equipped with the combat power of a Core Formation realm cultivator—suddenly flew into the sky at high speed. Even before anyone could react, it crashed into the zone belonging to one of the candidates like a shooting star.

Everything happened very quickly. That candidate and his servants were still in the midst of tidying up. They had just managed to activate the array formation in their zone, but were a step too late. As the ferocious beast with Core Formation realm combat powers charged into the grounds, loud booms and painful screams instantly erupted. The candidate was shocked and dismayed at the crisis that struck. He immediately crushed his jade slip and escaped, but his servants were too slow, as even though they also chose to run away, they didn’t have the teleportation jade slip, and therefore suffered severe injuries and deaths.

All of it happened in the blink of an eye. The fifth Beast Tide had just arrived but had already eliminated one candidate. That gripped all the remaining candidates with fear, and even Wang Baole grew nervous.

He saw how scary the current Beast Tide was, and knew clearly that he had underestimated the Beast Tide this time around. If he had half an hour more, his stronghold would be equipped with greater levels of power, but it was a fact that the current wave had come earlier than expected, and that made Wang Baole extremely troubled.

The stronghold still isn’t ready. It would likely fail in resisting the beasts even if I were to use it to go against them now. Furthermore, if it suffers any damage, that would mean that I would be handed an early ticket to elimination... A glow flashed across Wang Baole’s eyes as he looked at the catacombs outside. There was an uncountable number of beasts in the Beast Tide, charging towards him under the lead of a rotting corpse with Core Formation realm cultivation that looked like a giant monitor lizard. They created an imposing bluster, and it could easily be imagined, that upon impact, the incomplete stronghold of his would definitely be destroyed.

Darn it! This is forcing me to use my trump card! Wang Baole was furious. After handing some matters over to the little donkey, he leaped into the air and went outside. His Dharmic Armament appeared instantly, and he grabbed it tightly in his hands. Just like he had resisted the previous Beast Tide, he leaped over the walls and charged out!

The difference was that in the last wave, his opponents had a cultivation similar to someone who had a perfect Foundation Establishment realm cultivation. Right now, however, his opponents had the combat powers of a Core Formation cultivator. The difference between the two groups was too significant.

Everything that was happening instantly made the crowd from the Federation, the people from Mars, and even the various factions, freeze in shock. As they looked at the extremely brave Wang Baole, they were flabbergasted.

“This Wang Baole isn’t out of his mind, is he? I thought that he was smart...”

“Isn’t this courting death?”

“Is he trying to throw his life away?”

Even Li Yi, Kong Dao, and the others had noticed Wang Baole, who seemed to be fearless of death. They were all dumbfounded, but also instinctively felt that something was amiss.

However, they didn’t have the time to care about Wang Baole’s survival. The ferocious beasts in the fifth wave were much more ferocious than before, and as they advanced in their attacks, they were going head-on against the various zones. Instantly, a loud boom reverberated in all directions, and every single zone suffered significant damages.

As they put in all their effort in their resistance, the army of beasts charging towards Wang Baole, who were under the lead of the giant rotting monitor lizard, neared. The ground was shaking, and they were now less than ten thousand feet away from the walls of Wang Baole’s zone. At the same time, Wang Baole also neared them at high speed.

Looking from a distance, Wang Baole was a lone ranger against a sea-like Beast Tide. The forces involved were frightening, and the two sides appeared as if they were about to collide with each other. Numerous live stream viewers from the Federation couldn’t bear to watch Wang Baole die before their own eyes... No matter how powerful Wang Baole had been previously, he was, after all, merely a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator!

However, just as the Beast Tide neared and the rotting giant monitor lizard arrived head-on, Wang Baole suddenly stopped in his advance, standing there and raising his Dharmic Armament. He roared with a low voice, “Withdraw!”

The moment he spoke, the heaven and earth transformed, and the clouds circled in reverse. An indescribable aura arrived imposingly, forming a frightening force. It was difficult to describe the range of the aura’s effects. However, at that moment, the beasts in the Beast Tide in front of Wang Baole all let out painful cries and retreated, as if they had met with a frightening existence. They were moving at high speeds previously, and now, as they retreated, they collided with each other, forming a mess.

That was especially so for the arrogantly approaching rotting giant monitor lizard. Instinctively, it felt a sense of danger it had never experienced before. However, everything happened so fast that it wasn’t only unable to retreat, but its body was also twisted as it rapidly leaped over to the other side. It chose to fall to the ground with a loud thud instead of further approaching Wang Baole. Even after landing heavily on the ground, it still scrambled to retreat with fear...

This ridiculous and unimaginable scene made the live stream viewers from the Federation hold their breath; they fell silent...
