The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast

Chapter 856: Chapter 549: Pioneer_2

Thump thump!

Thump thump!

Accompanied by the heartbeat sound that seemed to stir the earth’s veins, the virtual shadow of a giant beast covered in huge silver armor appeared behind him.

Its body was as solid as the earth, yet so tall it could touch the heavens, brimming with divinity.

"Roar!!"

The man stood on the giant beast’s head, raising his hand towards the terrifying meteor.

The barrier array immediately gleamed with an indestructible brilliance.

A few seconds later, the gigantic meteor crashed against this layer of shining barrier.

The meteor, several kilometers in diameter, exploded in an instant with terrifying demonic qi, sending a storm expanding tens of kilometers at a speed exceeding ten kilometers per second, transforming into demonic qi waves that submerged everything in sight.

Yet, such an end-of-the-world-like terrifying presence didn’t stir any ripple within the earth-like Mystical Technique’s protection.

Then—

The giant Demon King started to struggle violently, only to be shattered inch by inch by the heartbeat pulsating like earth’s veins.

The demonic qi soared high from the shattered body, symbolizing its complete death.

A Tier Six Demon King was killed in one strike, while the barrier remained intact.

Silence persisted for a full ten seconds before the extremely excited cheers erupted.

"Hua Bo!"

"It’s Lord Hua Bo!!"

"Is this the legendary [Earth Guardian]?!"

"Has he become even stronger?"

The cheers rang out continuously.

The majority present were people from Zhen Sheng City and surrounding cities.

Hua Bo.

This legend emerging from the commoners was indeed the spiritual faith in the hearts of countless people.

Even though now another dazzling and stunning unmatched talent, Lin Guang, emerged from the commoners of Zhen Sheng City, making them all proud, Hua Bo remained the most important memory in many people’s hearts.

After all...

Over ten years ago, he truly saved Zhen Sheng City!

—————————

The emerging generation of Great Xia talents born with Dao Marks have already begun to make their mark in this Golden Era.

The truly astonishing talents even take this increasingly chaotic time as a stage to shine brightly.

Those with Innate Golden Talent, who preemptively condense True Intent, and even young Holy Beasts...

They began to unleash their influence in various ways, as if announcing their arrival to the world.

And on the other side of the ocean.

The elites of those nations also have dazzling talents akin to blazing suns shocking the world.

Time sped by rapidly amid daily construction filled with creation and hope.

In the blink of an eye, it’s been over a year since the Secret Realm battle at Great Yue Country’s border.

Another year for the province competition.

......

Yue Shui Province.

Coastal City.

Sky Arena, the one-thousandth floor.

After two years, Yue Shui Province’s provincial competition is once again held here. But now it is no longer the previous lost continent, but in the overlapping of cyber space and real space.

Both reality and data.

In the system’s mighty power, everything can be customized.

The scene in this place switches continuously through rounds of competition.

The final battleground was crafted into a vast canyon and towering mountains.

And now...

With the attention of countless people, the decisive battle has settled.

An unusually rare struggle lasting tens of minutes.

The mountains and canyons now are already full of scars, enormous pits, mountains cut in half, and scorched earth still burning with remnants of various attribute ether, silently speaking of the intensity of the recent finals.

In the center of this devastated battlefield, a young man covered in blood stood in the void, unable to maintain his spiritual power for flying, relying on his partner to lift him. The combat suit representing "Coastal Mechanical Combat School" was already tattered, and he was gasping heavily.

On his brow were three triangle-like marks stitched together, with a fourth faintly visible, symbolizing him as a talent with over three Dao Marks!

Zhou Yi.

Young Sect Leader of the Pivot Sect.

The final victor of this Yue Shui Province provincial competition.

Supporting him with its palm was a similarly scarred Spirit Beast, an ebony humanoid golem composed entirely of metallic gleaming rocks.

[Silver Heart Golem].

Floating behind it were two other smaller but equally powerful mechanical Spirit Beasts, one constructed purely of lightning and Spirit Patterns, the [Arcane Construct], and another appearing constantly unstable, changing form like liquid metal, the [Perpetual Core].

These three Spirit Beasts full of technological and power aesthetics were his partners that won him victory.

"...The ultimate victor of this Yue Shui Province provincial competition is—"

"From Coastal Mechanical Combat School, contestant Zhou Yi!!!"

The commentator’s voice filled with passion and emotion echoed throughout the virtual space.

Zhou Yi raised his head, closed his eyes, and slowly lifted his arms.

He listened to the mountain-and-sea-like cheers in his ears, watching the victory rain fall from the sky for him alone.

His handsome face, somewhat pale from exhaustion, finally showed a radiant expression.

At that moment.

Dozens of rainbow pillars of light descended violently from higher in the sky.

The light pillars enveloped Zhou Yi and all contestants in the resting area, instantly restoring them to peak status with a warm and life-filled breath.

The other light pillars disappeared upon contact, leaving only the one enveloping Zhou Yi as a testament to his honor.
