Chapter 171: Cripple and Subdue All the Five Species

He decided to do so just as these thoughts appeared in his mind.

He recovered his divine powers while waiting.

If he had to name a flaw in his Third Realm combat powers, it would have to be the issue of not being able to sustain long periods of assault.

The three Extreme Dao Special Abilities exhausted large amounts of divine power.

In less than 10 minutes just now, after killing more than 40 Third Realms, his divine power was already exhausted by more than 20%.

Hence, it was possible that he may die from prolonged periods of fighting if there were enough Divine Body Realms.

However, if there were really that many Divine Body Realms, he would not be fighting through a straightforward massacre.

It was the fastest and most shocking way of killing opponents, but it also consumed the most divine powers since the duration that the three Extreme Dao Special Abilities were activated was too long.

In that case, attacking using hit-and-run tactics would allow him to save much more divine power and kill more enemies.

Of course, that was provided that the number of Third Realms that Wang Hu came across was large. The number and power of Tian Li Third Realms had not reached that extent yet.

Not long after, the Tian Li Patriarch returned with 10 space bags. He handed it over to Wang Hu reverently.

Wang Hu took the space bags from him and checked their contents. There were about 5,000 kilograms of spirit stones, one inferior-grade Dharma treasure, 16 Dharma artifacts, and the rest were some treasures and gems.

These were the treasures and resources that the Tian Li species accumulated over many years.

It was the same as what Wang Hu saw from the Patriarch’s memories. It was also because he checked the memories that he asked the Patriarch to retrieve it.

He accepted these items. These would be the spoils he gained from this fight. As for the Third Realm bodies, since Tian Li species already submitted to him, Wang Hu decided not to take them away.

After all, he had to save them some dignity.

His voice was cold when he spoke, “You, bring along 10 Divine Body Realms and follow me.”

“Yes,” the Tian Li Patriarch hesitated for a while before complying. He realized that he was in no position to refuse at all.

Wang Hu walked towards the north, and You Ming and the other three quickly followed after him.

The Tian Li Patriarch gave a few instructions, selected 10 Third Realms, and quickly followed as well.

The remaining 20-odd Tian Li Divine Body Realms immediately breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the menacing figure had left with their Patriarch.

Even though they were not badly injured and did not exhaust much power, all of them felt drained.

Mental fatigue was sometimes a worse feeling than physical exhaustion.

They were in no mood to speak, and they pulled themselves together to clean up the wreckage.

After they collected all the bodies of Tian Li members who perished and comforted the emotions of species members, the strongest beings remained gathered.

“What should we do? We don’t know where the Patriarch went with that Tiger King. Do we just wait?” A Tian Li Divine Body Realm said.

“We can’t just wait like this without doing anything. So many of our Tian Li members died, and he stole 70% of our wealth! We can’t just let it go!” Another Divine Body Realm said furiously.

“If not, what can we do? That Tiger King is so incredibly strong. No one on the Lichi Continent is as strong as him.

“What else can we do? Ask for help from the other four major species?” A Divine Body Realm sighed and said. Fear was audible in his tone.

“No way, we can’t ask for help from the other four major species,” one of them said firmly, “If we asked for help from them, they might take advantage of our predicament and try to take over us.”

“That may not be entirely true. That Tiger King is so strong, I suspect that he may not be from our Lichi Continent, perhaps we should gather all the powerful beings from all over the continent to fight him together,” a Divine Body Realm said.

Immediately, realization dawned upon the others.

“The alternate world…”

“That’s right.”

“But our Tian Li species has suffered a tremendous loss. If we crusade against that Tiger King, our Patriarch and the other members would most likely be in a perilous situation as well. If that happens, will our Tian Li species continue to exist?” One of the Divine Body Realms took a look at all the members present and sighed.

Immediately, none of them spoke.

They didn’t dare.

After a long period of silence, all of them walked away with their faces looking grave.

…

On the other side, Wang Hu was unaware of the conversation that the remaining Tian Li Divine Body Realms had. Even if he knew, he would not be bothered either.

He killed so many powerful Tian Lis. It was normal that the remaining members had some thoughts, and no one could stop them.

Not even Wang Hu could stop them.

Hence, he had never thought about stopping them… as long as they didn’t express their dissatisfaction and hatred openly in front of him or try to defy him with actions.

If they just thought without doing anything, they were free to do whatever they wanted.

He also did not need these Divine Body Realms to submit to him genuinely.

It was enough for him that they were afraid of him and would not dare to defy him.

Wang Hu flew for more than an hour together with the 10-odd Divine Body Realms, and he started feeling annoyed at how slow they were.

As he used spirit stones to recover his divine powers, he waved his hand, blanketed them in his divine powers, and flew together to the north.

The entire journey was quiet. Very soon, the Tian Li Patriarch exchanged looks with the other members, and they looked at each other in shock and bewilderment.

This direction… could they be going to…?

Shock surged within them, but they were too afraid to say anything.

After more than nine hours, Wang Hu—together with You Ming, the Tian Li Patriarch, and the other 13 people—arrived at another range of mountains.

The Ming Bird Mountains…

Ming Bird species was one of the five major species of the Lichi Continent.

The Tian Li Patriarch was certain now that this incredibly powerful Tiger King wanted to subdue the Ming Bird species like he did to the Tian Li species.

They felt astonished and, at the same time, realized that it was normal.

They couldn’t help but guess what did this Tiger King intend to do?

As they wondered, they stopped in the sky above the highest mountain in the region.

Similar to what happened in the Tian Li ancestral land, Wang Hu’s vast and domineering aura descended over the land.

It instantly rudely woke up the entire Ming Bird species.

One after another, Divine Body Realms flew towards them and surrounded them.

“Who are you? How dare you be disrespectful on the land of Ming Bird?!

“Lan Li, what are you doing? Are you provoking our Ming Bird species? With just the few of you?!”

The Ming Bird Patriarch bellowed furiously.

As he spoke, a mysterious light flashed before his eyes.

Lan Li, the Tian Li Patriarch, grew resigned, but he did not dare to say anything and could only lower his head.

Wang Hu’s gaze swept over them. He did not want to waste any time, and the same words that he said before were blasted in the mountains.

“I shall give you a chance. Those who submit to me will live, and those who defy shall see their entire species killed.”

Although the scene in front of them was very strange and bizarre, the sentence still evoked outrage among the powerful beings of the Ming Bird species.

Wang Hu did not wait for them to speak. He turned to Lan Li and the rest and said with an unassailable tone, “Before I end my fight, if you don’t kill seven Ming Bird Divine Body Realms…

“Then, all of you shall die.”

As he finished, his tiger form appeared again. The earth-shattering tiger roar broke out into crashing sound waves and swept into the surroundings.

His murderous intent that had not fully subsided became palpable, and he lunged at the powerful beings of the Ming Bird species.

A golden flash danced in the sky, and it collected the lives of the Divine Body Realms like the God of Death.

Another massacre fell upon them rapidly before the powerful Ming Birds could fully react.

Images of the massacre that made them seethe with rage and stare with bulging eyes appeared before them.

“Bastards!”

“Damn it!”

“Stop! How dare you!”

…

A series of enraged voices sounded, and the powerful Ming Birds quickly joined the attack. More and more Divine Body Realms flew over from all parts of the mountainous range.

At the same time, Lan Li, You Ming, and the rest felt as cold as ice.

They were dumbfounded and petrified.

This Godfiend Tiger King wanted them to kill seven Divine Body Realms of the Ming Bird species!

If they didn’t do it, they would have to die!

They did not think that he was just joking with them.

If they could not do it, he would really kill them.

Looking at the familiar massacre that was taking place not far away, Lan Li and the rest felt their breathing become rugged.

Apart from killing the powerful Ming Birds, they had another option—which was to assist the Ming Birds in fighting this Tiger King.

However, as Lan Li—who was badly injured himself—looked at the massacre, he could only bring himself to say, “Work together and kill.”

As he finished, he dashed towards the few Ming Bird Divine Body Realms who were in the periphery.

The others, including You Ming, gritted their teeth and followed suit.

The Ming Birds were enraged, and they kept cursing furiously.

However, they no longer had the energy and mood to do so very soon.

The same thing that happened in the land of the Tian Li species took place again.

When five… ten Tian Li Divine Body Realms died, it enraged the entire Ming Bird species.

When 20 died, they felt even more furious.

When 30 died, they became terrified.

When 40 died…

The Ming Bird Patriarch along with the remaining 40-odd Divine Body Realms held in their hatred, anger, and grief and knelt down towards Wang Hu.

When faced with the threat of their entire species being killed, they eventually chose to submit.

When the survival of the entire species was on the line, no matter how much hatred they felt, they had to keep it to themselves.

As usual, Wang Hu walked to the Ming Bird Patriarch and checked his memories with the soul-searching technique.

Afterward, he instructed the Patriarch to retrieve 70% of Ming Bird’s spirit stones and treasures.

As he waited for the Patriarch to return, he looked into the west.

He already subdued two out of the five most powerful species in this alternate world.

It was still early before the duration of five days ended. By the time he brought Silly Girl and the two little fellows into this world, they would be faced with all the prowess of the Lichi Continent.

How about destroying one more major species out of the five, so there would only be two left?

These two species would be unable to pose as a threat to Silly Girl or the two little fellows even if they gathered all the remaining power of the Lichi Continent; they would be perfectly safe.

As the thoughts flashed across his mind, he finally decided to go ahead with it.

Just then, the Ming Bird Patriarch returned, and he handed over the space bag to Wang Hu. Wang Hu verified its contents and checked that it was the same as what he saw in his memories.

It was about the same as the Tian Li species’.

“Bring along 10 Divine Body Realms and follow me.”

Wang Hu put away the space bags, turned around, and headed to the west.

The Ming Bird Patriarch quickly instructed a few things, selected 10 Ming Bird Divine Body Realms, and quickly followed after Wang Hu.

In the process, he looked hatefully at Lan Li and the others.

He did not forget that they killed seven of his Ming Bird members.

He did not dare to express hatred for that Tiger King, so Lan Li and the rest became his target of hatred.

The other 10 Ming Bird Divine Body Realms were also the same.

Lan Li and the group were unmoved, and they pretended not to see it.

They had no other choice. It was either they kill or they die.

The choice was simple.

After a while, Wang Hu personally carried along these 20-odd Divine Body Realms again as he flew.

While he flew, he exhausted a large amount of spirit stones to recover his divine power.

More than ten hours later…

They arrived at a region that was filled with volcanoes.

This was the compound of Huo Yun, one of the five major species.

Lan Li and the Ming Bird Patriarch couldn’t help but look at each other. Although they were feuding now, both of them felt that they were in the same boat.

Immediately after, in the exchange of gazes, they made a decision.

Not long later, the same thing happened again.

Wang Hu threatened the Huo Yun species with the same thing, and then said mercilessly to Lan Li and Ming Feng, “If both of your sides do not kill five Huo Yun Divine Body Realms before I end, then you shall perish.”

After he finished, his third massacre since coming to this world began.

More than 10 minutes later…

The remaining 40-odd Huo Yun Third Realms all knelt before Wang Hu.

Wang Hu used the same technique, and while he waited for the Huo Yun Patriarch to retrieve the spoils, he couldn’t help but look to the south.

That’s the compound of You Shuo, one of the five major species.

Out of the five major species, three were down, and two remained.

Somehow, he felt a little uncomfortable.

It was as though he was looking at a plate of dish that was almost finished, and what remained was just a couple mouthfuls lying on the plate. He felt uncomfortable looking at it.

Out of five, two remained… how about I fight another one?

If only one remained, Silly Girl and the two little fellows would be even safer.

Silly Girl wanted to fight on the battlefield. The Lichi Continent is far from fully submitting yet.

It should be enough for her if I leave her with one major species out of the five and the other remaining species that have not yet submitted to me.

Yes, I’ll do just that.

I’ll just leave one.

Once he made up his mind, he instructed the Patriarch of the Huo Yun species to select 10 Divine Body Realms and to leave with him.

A day later…

Wang Hu brought everyone to the compound of the You Shuo species.

About 20 minutes later, all the remaining You Shuo Divine Body Realms knelt down and expressed their submission without any mishaps.

After accepting the spoils from You Shuo, Wang Hu became conflicted.

The uncomfortable feeling became intensified.

Only the last mouthful was left on the plate.

He wanted to eat everything.

He blinked and made up his mind.?Never mind, even if I destroy and subdue these five major species, there are still many species on the Lichi Continent that haven’t submitted to me yet.

That should be enough for Silly Girl to have fun with.

I’ll take care of Big Treasure and Little Treasure and take it that we’re on a holiday.

That way, it will be safer.

He made up his mind.

A day later, in the Man Wu compound, a series of blasts and cries were sounded.

The Man Wu species also submitted to Wang Hu. The remaining Divine Body Realms all knelt before him.

He took a look at the other four major species and felt content in his heart.

He smirked, and he put a restrictive spell on all of them.

He inserted his power into the hearts of these Divine Body Realms.

The power was rather idle, but it would explode if he instructed it with his mind.

Depending on how much power he inserted, the magnitude of the explosion differed.

Even if it might not be able to fully kill all these Divine Body Realms, it was also enough to kill most of them and cripple the remaining.

It was a form of control, similar to poisoning subordinates to control them.

The 90-odd Divine Body Realms submissively accepted the control, and they even felt a lingering fear.

They suddenly understood that the Tiger King did not control them with such methods right from the start because he wanted to test if they had any intention of fighting him.

If they did, what they’d face would be death.
