Chapter 976 Battle of the Flesh (I)

976 Battle of the Flesh (I)

Wang Wei arrived at his destination–the Star Beast World. As soon as he arrived at his destination, numerous shockwaves attacked him; these attacks were not directed at him but the residual force from many people battling it out.

He looked around and immediately noticed something different. This place was full of destroyed planets, galaxies, stardust, scattered black holes, and torn-apart nebulas. However, this was not the most noteworthy aspect. No matter how much things were destroyed, they would slowly recover.

Secondly, the terrifying power in the distance was contained in a certain limited area.

'Is this a Void Battlefield?' thought Wang Wei before using his Divine Sense. He was correct; they were now in a separate pocket dimension that was extremely sturdy, allowing even the best Eternal Supreme to go all out without affecting the Star Beast World.

Wang Wei noticed something and looked over. Something enormous was looking at him. For a moment, he thought it was the Eye of Heavenly Dao.

"You're finally here," said a grand and encompassing voice. As soon as this creature spoke, a potent soundwave echoed in the surroundings, instantly annihilating more than a dozen galaxies that still remained.

"You called, so I came," said Wang Wei.

"You're too small. Can you increase your size?"

Wang Wei wanted to tell him to reduce his size. However, considering he was in the midst of battle, he agreed. He controlled his flesh to grow billions of light years in size, reaching the same height and size as everyone fighting.

Wang Wei could not finally see the entire situation. 13 Immortal Sovereigns surrounded Mu Lei. Meanwhile, he only had seven people on his side. With one glance, Wang Wei could tell two of these allies were members of the Star Lord Mountain and the others were probably allies.

'The Myriad Emperor World is truly weak compared to the rest of the world,' thought Wang Wei after seeing so many Immortal Sovereigns. The Star Beast World had an advantage in the Immortal Path when compared to many other worlds.

Their cultivation systems involved tempering their bodies, and it's the kind that relies on massive body size. It's a normal fact that the stronger the body, the more energy it can contain. As such, when members of this world become Immortal Venerables, the starting point of their Immortal Venerables is extremely high, needing less time to accumulate enough Immortal Qi for the next tier.

So, it was not surprising that this world had 20 Immortal Sovereigns. Wang Wei believed this number would have been higher if not for the Balance Mechanism that secretly kills or seals these Tier 11 powerhouses.

Mu Lei's current situation was not ideal. He was fighting more than 5 Immortal Sovereigns and losing. His teammates did not fare any better, as they also had to battle more than one opponent at a time. If not for the terrifying resilience of the Star Beast Body, these people would have long been killed.

"So, are you ready to pay the price for asking me to act?" asked Wang Wei.

"Of course. Otherwise, I would not have contacted you," replied Mu Lei with a sigh. He had experienced many in such a short period and realized many things. Now, he was ready to end things.

"What do you want me to do? Kill them or seal them?" continued Wang Wei.

"You can kill him, but leave the others alive," replied Mu Lei, pointing to a towering figure that was red all over his body. His eyes contained ten ancient stars rotating around each other; he did not hide his killing intent.

"What did this guy do?" asked Wang Wei, wondering why the usual relaxed Mu Lei had such a terrifying killing intent. However, Mu Lei did not answer and said: "Let's talk later."

"Alright. Do you want the final blow?"

"If I could, I would have done it already," said Mu Lei with a helpless sight, so Wang Wei nodded. Everyone was confused about this strange conversation. However, no one dared to intervene and say anything.

As soon as this gray-haired man appeared on the battlefield, everyone had a strange feeling; it was like a heavy weight on their chest that could not be removed no matter what. These people have lived long enough and are powerful enough to know when to trust their instincts or gut feelings.

Wang Wei looked at these Immortal Sovereigns, and magical circles appeared above their heads. Immediately, countless immortal lights flashed from their colossal bodies, but it was useless. In an instant, twelve of these people turned into small crystals.

Wang Wei handed these seals to Mu Lei before focusing on the last remaining individual.

"I have wanted to test the strength of my flesh for a while, so let's use you as my punching bag."

The red-skin Immortal Sovereign's face became ugly; he saw how easily this new intruder dealt with his allies.

"Mu Lei, what about your oath?"

Mu Lei looked at him but did not say a single word. He looked at his companions and said: "Let's go." He disappeared from the Void Battlefield, leaving Wang Wei alone.

"Are you ready?" asked Wang Wei, who waited a few seconds before rushing toward his opponent.

Boom!

Their fists clashed, and the red-skin Immortal Sovereign, whose name is Jiang Behe, took a dozen steps backward. However, with his size, these few steps took him millions of light years from a normal human's perception.

"Hey, I have been looking forward to this battle. So, you better take it seriously, or your death will be very tragic," said Wang Wei, sending shivers down Jiang Behe's spine.

Wang Wei nodded in satisfaction before confronting the latter a second time; his tactic was simple and barbaric–fist to fist, flesh to flesh.

[Golden Armor]

As these two titans clashed, a golden energy armor appeared around Jiang Behe's fist, allowing him to protect his hand while also offsetting the force behind Wang Wei's attack.

'Yes, this is what I want, what I've been longing for since I proved the Dao,' he thought as he unleashed billions of fists in nanoseconds. He heard the sound of something cracking, and the golden light around his opponent's body disappeared.

He took this opportunity to punch Jiang Behe's head. The latter reacted in time as his eyes turned into what resembled Star Cores but much larger. A laser eye attack tried to stop Wang Wei's punch. Sadly, his defense was simply otherworldly, so a magical scene appeared.

Jiang Behe's head exploded, but he created a big bang explosion in the process. In a matter of seconds, a new universe appeared in this Void Battlefield, expanding beyond the observable universe on Earth.

'Interesting,' thought Wang Wei as he noticed a unique aspect of the Star Beast World system. Their regenerative ability did not originate from having endless vitality to regrow body parts, having absolute control over the body and being able to regrow any missing part with enough energy, or having control over concepts that prevented death.

The source of their regeneration was their body size. Every time a Star Beast Cultivator dies and regenerates, their body size will shrink until it returns to normal size. As such, the bigger their sizes, the more difficult to kill.

'The world of cultivation is truly wonderful,' thought Wang Wei as he continued his assault. His previous attack only took a few hundred thousand light years from his opponent's body, meaning it was barely counted as a serious injury.

[Big Bang Fist]

Wang Wei punched forward, condensing all the sheer strength his body contained from his 76 Infant Fiendgod Force into a singular point; this attack was extremely concentrated, appearing in the form of a collapsing black hole in front of his fist.

[Force Absorption Spell]

Jiang Behen would not take this loss or accept his death. So, he mobilized all the Immortal Qi inside his body to cast the perfect spell for this occasion.

Boom!

His body turned into space particles before reassembling itself. He had drastically shrunk, but now was no time to worry about such a thing.

'Different civilizations will develop differently even with the same ideas and concepts,'

thought Wang Wei. 'The way the Immortal Path battle is similar to mages, using the diversity brought by Immortal Qi and Spells.

'However, the main way of battle in the Star Beast World is closed-combat or the battle of the flesh. As such, even after becoming Immortal Venerables and Sovereigns, they only used spells to support their flesh.'

[Heaven Punishment]

Jiang Behe went on the offensive, summoning purple-black lightning to destroy his opponent. However, Wang Wei happily fought the thunder with his flesh despite knowing his opponent's true motive.

As expected, Jiang Behe took this opportunity to access foreign energy to help him heal his injury. In the end, his body regained a small portion of the size it had lost.

"You know this won't change anything, don't you?" said Wang Wei

"Your arrogance will be your downfall."

"Don't worry, I only act arrogant in front of the right person."
