Chapter 2687 Alarmed And At The Same Time, Elated
The huge Star Beast lay horizontally in the starry sky with Tai Ying Sovereign standing on its head, his hands placed behind his back.
Although all the disciples who were participating in the Selection had entered the Star Beast, it could not shut its mouth and it remained open.
That was to enable the disciples who were in its body to come out at any time. They could be severely injured or they might have obtained a token.
However, the 30 martial artists who were at the Supreme Realm remained trapped inside the Beast’s body and they were unable to escape.
The Branch Elders and the disciples who were unable to take part in the Selection were already up in the starry sky and they were crowding around the Star Beast.
“Tai Ying Sovereign, the one who kills the Star Beast may not be the most outstanding person. Will you still accept him as your disciple?” Someone who knew Tai Ying Sovereign asked respectfully.
One could not depend solely on strength to kill the Star Beast. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for the Supreme Beings to do so.
One had to depend on luck or get a few people to attack the Beast Soul and kill it. If a few people joined forces to kill the Star Beast, how would they determine the one who had done so? It would be difficult to make a judgment.
“The one who manages to kill the Star Beast may not be the most outstanding person but he will be the most suitable person to become my disciple,” Tai Ying Sovereign replied with a smile.
“Oh? Why is that so?” The people were baffled. Has Tai Ying Sovereign used some special means on the Star Beast?
“The Beast Soul has been severely injured by me and it is trapped in its sea of consciousness. One has to possess special skills to kill the Beast Soul!” Tai Ying Sovereign explained.
The people were enlightened. Tai Ying Sovereign had a set of criteria for the disciple that he desired to recruit. He had used some special means which only that disciple would understand to kill the Beast Soul.
“Tai Ying Sovereign, are there any mighty martial artists among the 30 Supremes? If there are, there will be many casualties,” someone asked, looking disturbed. “Only one of them is mighty. The rest of the 29 people are ordinary Supremes. Although they are powerful, they will not be able to create much havoc!” Tai Ying Sovereign replied flatly. There were many gifted geniuses from the various branches and they possessed the strength comparable to that of a Beginning Supreme. Thus, it would not be too much of a concern. Casualties were unavoidable, but the numbers would fall within the acceptable range. “Who is he?” Someone asked. “Fu Qian!” Tai Ying Sovereign replied. “What?”
“Fu Qian is from Sky Ridge Star Alliance!”
“I’m surprised it’s him!”
Everybody was surprised to hear Fu Qian’s name being mentioned. He was from Sky Ridge Star Alliance and was a disciple of a Sovereign.
No one had expected Tai Ying Sovereign to capture Fu Qian. Although Sky Ridge Star Alliance and Ancient Cloud Star Alliance had been having conflicts with each other, there had been no major clashes for the past few thousands of years. If Sky Ridge Star Alliance were to find out that Fu Qian had been captured by Tai Ying Sovereign, they would not let the matter rest.
Most importantly, Fu Qian possessed mighty strength and he was known as the Young Master of Death. The ordinary Beginning Supremes were no match for him, let alone the Supreme Beings. “Tai Ying Sovereign, if Sky Ridge Star Alliance finds out that you have captured Fu Qian, things will get out of hand!” Reverend Tian Hua commented with a grave look. “Might as well. The men from Sky Ridge Star Alliance have been attacking our geniuses and I am doing this to teach them a lesson!” Tai Ying Sovereign was not the least bit worried. His intention was to make Sky Ridge Star Alliance feel pain.
For the past thousands of years, many of their disciples from the Headquarters had been killed by Sky Ridge Star Alliance and he had had to avenge them.
For example, Young Master Liu Yun had been attacked by the men from Sky Ridge Star Alliance twice before. Fortunately, Young Master Liu Yun had managed to escape as his father had saved him.
“However, Fu Qian possesses great strength. Not many of his peers who have cultivated the Death Rule were matched for him. It seems impossible for the disciples to kill him!” Someone commented with a worried look on his face.

“Not to worry. Fu Qian has been severely injured by me. He poses no threat at all as he can only display 50 percent of his strength!” Tai Ying Sovereign shook his head and continued, saying, “Casualties are unavoidable. Other than possessing great talent and luck, one has to be prepared to lose their life if they desire to become a disciple of the Headquarters!”
Everyone was silent upon hearing what Tai Ying Sovereign had said. He was right. The Headquarters would only accept the outstanding elites and they were not concerned about the ordinary disciples.
However, it would be a pity if too many of the disciples were to lose their lives.
Fu Qian had mighty strength and even if he could use only half of it, the ordinary Advanced Supreme Beings would not be able to contend with him. Even Ba Shiyu and Murong Qi would have problems contending with him.
Fortunately, many disciples were participating in the Selection. If they were to besiege Fu Qian, he would not be able to survive.
“Will he catch up with us?”
Lin Ya asked as they flew in the blood vessel. They had flown for 15 minutes and they had not seen Di Yihun around. Apparently, he had given up on pursuing them or he had lost them.
Although they were in the Star Beast’s blood vessel, it was spacious. As there was no way for Di Yihun to use his Holy Senses, it was possible that he had lost them.
“I believe he did not catch up with us!” Ling Chang nodded. They were safe.
“We have to think of a way to look for the 30 Supremes,” Su Mo said with a sigh. That was tricky as the Star Beast had a huge body.

“Frankly speaking, even if we manage to find one, it will be impossible for us to defeat him,” Lin Ya commented. Although they possessed great strength, they did not have the ability to defeat a Supreme.
Not only were they expected to defeat the Supremes, but they had to capture or kill them in order to obtain the tokens that were in their bodies.
According to Tai Ying Sovereign, the 30 Supremes were wicked people and it was apparent that the disciples were expected to kill them.
They had to do so as the Supremes would not hand the tokens over to them.
However, the three of them did not have the ability to kill the Supremes.
“We must not use brute force to get hold of the tokens. Let’s wait while the rest of the disciples do the job!” Su Mo said thoughtfully. Although they did not have the ability to kill the Supremes, the rest of the people would be able to do so.
If the Supremes were besieged by a group of people, the three of them could try to take advantage of the situation. “I think it is better for the three of us to go our separate ways!” Lin Ya said. “Although we stand a higher chance of getting hold of the token if we stay together, it will be impossible for us to get hold of three tokens. If we go separate ways, we can depend on our own ability to get hold of the token!”
“What do you think?” Su Mo asked Ling Chang. In fact, he wanted the three of them to stay together as it would be safer for them.
However, he agreed that it would be impossible for them to get hold of three tokens if they were to stay together.
If they ended up with only one token, how could they split it amongst themselves?
“Let’s go separate ways!” Ling Chang replied after pondering for a while. “I’ll be worried about you.” Su Mo was hesitant. He was not worried about Lin Ya as Di Yihun and Zi Xiao would not attack Lin Ya.
However, it was different for Ling Chang. She would be in danger if she were to bump into Di Yihun and Zi Xiao.
Ling Chang was touched when she saw the tender look in Su Mo’s eyes. However, she shook her head and was insistent.
“Don’t worry. I have been comprehending the Rules of Space all these years. I still have the ability to protect myself,” Ling Chang said with a smile.
She was not consoling Su Mo but her Rules of Space had reached Rank 2 Beginning Realm during the past few days.
Although Rank 2 was low, the Rules of Space was one of the more powerful Rules among the 3,000 Rules. That was enough for Ling Chang to twist and change the surrounding space and better protect herself.
“Alright. In this case, let’s split!” Su Mo nodded.
“Hmm!” Lin Ya and Ling Chang nodded simultaneously.
Suddenly, there was a vigorous movement in front of the stream of blood and an oppressive force came surging towards them.
“Someone is here!”
Su Mo shouted. The stream of blood parted to the sides as a huge Fist Force that contained terrifying power moved toward the three of them to attack them.
The Fist Force was black and it contained Yin Qi. Its aura was awe-inspiring and it belonged to the mighty power of a Supreme.
Fortunately, the three of them were in the blood vessel. The vast Blood Qi could help to fend off part of the fist might.
“Destroy!”
Immense power burst out from Su Mo’s body instantaneously, releasing purple light. Su Mo had fully activated the power of the Vastness Purple Qi Primordial Spirit and the various Primordial Spirits.
He threw out a blow with his sword, and a huge Sword Shadow went head-on toward the fist might like an Optimus Divine Sword.
Swoosh!
Ling Chang was quick to react as well. She immediately threw out a blow with her sword and a dazzling green Sword Qi shot out toward the Fist Force.
Lin Ya went into action and her mighty Palm Print broke through the Qi and blood and shot toward the Fist Force.
The three of them joined forces to attack the Fist Force and they did not hold back. They knew that a Supreme was hiding around the area.
Supreme? All the disciples who were participating in the Selection were Supreme Beings and none of them were Supremes. Only the 30 people with the tokens were Supremes.
Thus, the three of them were alarmed and elated.
They were alarmed as the blow that the Supreme had thrown out was mighty. They were elated as they felt that they were fortunate to have found one token within such a short period of time.
