Chapter 2040: 845. Reunion with the Water Goblin, Han Muye’s Path to Overlord_2
 

Moreover, he had already left his marks on those beyond first-rate Heavenly Demonic Beasts, so he could simply wait for them to stop before taking action.

Han Muye’s gaze followed the sound that was gradually fading away, his eyes emitting a dazzling divine light.

Every word spoken by the Defiant Dragon revealed some information from ancient times.

Behind the Heavenly Demonic Beasts, there was a powerful force.

The Heavenly Demonic Beasts captured the Defiant Dragon in order to suppress something called the Heaven-Opening Sword Gate.

The only force Han Muye knew of from ancient times capable of defeating a major power of the Galaxy Universe was the Canaan Tribe.

Was the clan behind those Heavenly Demonic Beasts the Canaan Tribe?

But could the power of the Canaan Universe truly control the Heavenly Demonic Beasts?

The combat strength of beyond first-rate Heavenly Demonic Beasts had already reached such a level.

Most importantly, every opening of this Arena of Strife could potentially produce beyond first-rate Heavenly Demonic Beasts.

Over the years, just how many beyond first-rate Heavenly Demonic Beasts have been created?

Han Muye did not linger in the void but moved swiftly, bursting out of the void and landing on a continent.

“Upper Third Rank Continent?”

Looking around, he plunged into a mountain forest.

“Hum—”

Han Muye crushed the Beyond First-Rate Heavenly Bead in his hand.

Streams of Origin Force wrapped around his body.

Behind him, the God-Slaying Puppet Fighters and Water Goblin landed, ready to protect him.

In the previous battle, neither the God-Slaying Puppet Fighters nor Water Goblin had the strength to participate.

Only now could they protect Han Muye.

“Ah, this is cultivation, the higher you go, the more powerless you feel,” Water Goblin whispered, his gaze drifting into the distance.

He was once among the top divine beasts within the Desolate Wilderness.

Later, although he was refined into a formation spirit by a powerful being in the Galaxy Universe, he was a rare powerful force in the world.

Yet now, following Han Muye through continuous battles, he didn’t even have the qualifications to take action.

Most in the world of cultivation only pursue comfort, fleeing into places like the Heavenly Cycle Battlefield, shrinking away and ignoring what happens outside.

Only people like Han Muye would continuously transcend, pursuing the most extreme power in the world.

“He is right,” said the God-Slaying Puppet Fighters, gazing into the distance as Flowing Light shone from his eyes.

“He needs to end the Quantum Tribulation, and only by having the strongest power can he face everything.”

Quantum Tribulation.

Han Muye had already initiated the Quantum Tribulation at several locations, and its arrival was only a matter of time.

His aim to become a top contender in the shortest time was to possess his own power when the Quantum Tribulation fully commenced.

“Roar—”

The Origin Force swirling around Han Muye filled the space around him.

This scene stirred the power of heaven and earth nearby, and from a distance, figures of Heavenly Demonic Beasts moved freely towards him.

“Hum—”

The God-Slaying Puppet Fighters raised a long saber in his hand and slashed downward.

The blade’s light tore through a hundred miles, creating a grayish-blue fissure that shred the space in front of it.

The Heavenly Demonic Beasts that were swiftly approaching were all slain, turning into Heavenly Beads.

Third-grade, Level four.

The Heavenly Beads hovered in mid-air, shining brightly.

In the sky, several figures rushed toward those Heavenly Beads.

“Haha, good things are there for those who find them.”

“Not bad, a fourth-grade Heavenly Pearl, this Great Saint shall gladly accept.”

“How rare, someone is hunting Heavenly Demonic Beasts here, the old rule applies, split the loot upon encounter.”

Several voices chuckling echoed through, revealing various forms in mid-air.

These forms were diverse, some human-shaped, others with beastly faces.

All emitted a strong presence, revealing a bloody aura typical of demons.

This place was actually demon territory.

A grayish-blue jade ruler emerged in Water Goblin’s hands, his eyes gleaming.

“Forget about it,” God-Slaying Puppet Fighters suddenly spoke.

Water Goblin paused, turned his head to look forward, and with a flash of divine sense, shook his head and chuckled lightly.

A figure stepped out of the void ahead and landed in front of Water Goblin and God-Slaying Puppet Fighters.

He was clad in golden armor, holding a long staff.

That staff was glimmering with golden light, intricate spiritual patterns intersecting, signifying it as an extremely valuable treasure.

“Long time no see,” the figure looked at God-Slaying Puppet Fighters and then at Water Goblin, with a flash of golden light in his eyes.

“Water Goblin, it’s rare for you to still be alive,” he said.

Hearing this, Water Goblin grinned, “Monkey, do you know why you were suppressed under the Five Elements Furnace back in the day?”

“Because you have the foulest mouth.”

The figure stood still, while the demons sprinted towards them from behind.

A long saber slashed straight at Water Goblin’s head.

“How dare you disrespect my big brother!”

“Seeking death, not even considering your own capabilities!”

The saber gleamed, and the combat strength emanating from it clearly reached the Immortal Sovereign realm.

If an ordinary elite encountered such a blow, they would undoubtedly have their strength suppressed and collapse instantly.

But standing before him was a Chaos Level Battle Puppet body, specially refined for him by Han Muye.

With the soul power of chaos and such a battle puppet body, let alone the great demon of the Immortal Venerable realm before him, even if it was a top Immortal Venerable, he would not be the slightest bit afraid.

“Scram,” Han Muye growled lowly and threw a punch with his hand.

This punch directly shattered the incoming long sabers, with the scattered blade fragments flying around.

The leading demon raised his hand, imprisoning the power of heaven and earth around him.

“Water Goblin, why are you mingling with these little demons?” Han Muye said with disdain, looking at the figure standing before him.

Water Goblin.

The original entity of the God-Slaying Puppet Fighters.

The God-Slaying Puppet Fighters were originally just a remnant soul left by the Water Goblin.

Of course, the God-Slaying Puppet Fighters now possessed cosmic level combat power, brandishing combat weapons, a battle puppet core, and outer armor, all of a cosmic level.

Called little demons by Han Muye, all the demons showed furious expressions on their faces.

But Water Goblin waved his hand, turning his gaze to the God-Slaying Puppet Fighters.

“I really didn’t expect, after all these years, you have grown to this extent,” he said with a trace of emotion on his lean face.

The God-Slaying Puppet Fighters nodded and took a step forward.

“Boom—”

Burgeoning battle intent surged, stirring up spiritual light for tens of thousands of feet.

With a bloody gust of wind, the sky was dyed blood-red.

“Bang—”

The God-Slaying Puppet Fighters, without any hesitation, threw another punch.

Water Goblin raised his hand, pressing his palm against the punch that was coming.

“Boom—”

Water Goblin’s body was sent flying.

The power of this punch was countless times stronger than all of Water Goblin’s power combined.

If the God-Slaying Puppet Fighters wanted to kill Water Goblin, this one punch would have been enough.

Spitting blood from thousands of feet away, Water Goblin’s face flashed with a hint of desolation.

“Big brother!”

“Let’s fight him together!”

“Big brother, we’ll protect you and get you out of here!”

All the great demons roared. Some flew to the side of Water Goblin, while others charged toward the God-Slaying Puppet Fighters.

The God-Slaying Puppet Fighters had a calm expression on their face.

With a flicker, Water Goblin positioned himself in front of the great demons.

“Go back,” Water Goblin whispered, taking a deep breath before looking at the God-Slaying Puppet Fighters.

“I admit that I am no longer your match now,” he said.

“However—”

Before he could finish speaking, the God-Slaying Puppet Fighters had already stepped out and threw another punch.

The punch turned into a dragon, wrapping around Water Goblin’s body, its claws pressing against his shoulders, as if it would tear his body apart.

“Can’t you break through my boxing technique?”

“What happened to Water Goblin, who once aimed to be the final Primordial Overlord of the demon race?”

“Is he dead?”

“I am just a remnant soul of yours; can’t you even defeat me?” raged the God-Slaying Puppet Fighters, punching out once more.

Water Goblin’s body was hit and retreated thousands of feet once again.

Coughing blood, he walked back again.

The God-Slaying Puppet Fighters launched another attack.

This time, his fist was caught by Water Goblin’s raised hand.

“This punch, I will return it to you,” Water Goblin whispered and turned to leave.

The great demons swiftly followed him and departed.

The God-Slaying Puppet Fighters stood in place, with a complex look on their face.

“If you cannot become the Primordial Overlord, then I will replace you…” the God-Slaying Puppet Fighters murmured, slowly clenching their fist.

Meanwhile, Han Muye opened his mouth as if to speak, then stopped, turning his head towards where Han Muye was, his eyes narrowing slightly.

“This aura, it’s too strong,” he said.

“He’s going to become a true Primordial Overlord class.”

…

Within a mass of Origin, the aura around Han Muye underwent rapid changes.

The blood essence and all the power within his body were tumultuously rising.

In his eyes, endless divine light shone.

With the power of the Beyond First Rank Heavenly Bead infusing and bolstering him, his cultivation realm finally began to break through.

But now, he faced the choice that all top-tier powerhouses must face.

“To give up the constraints of the physical body and directly become an overlord, or settle and achieve the status of overlord with the physical body?”

“Should I take the route of the Dragon Crocodile or follow in the footsteps of Yu Ying?”

“Or perhaps, shall I adopt the methods of the Puppet Fighter avatars within the Galaxy Universe?”
