Chapter 434: Chapter 300 The outside world is indeed too dangerous (4K)_2
If it weren't for the Queen's command, he wouldn't even give this foreigner the slightest bit of face, let alone reveal this information.
Tianyuan Territory.
Mu Yuan received real-time information shared by General Duo Lai and began to ponder.
"As expected."
"Behind these large tribes stand even more powerful monster forces—the Jackal Man Overlord, the Overlord of the Snake Man. Within these Overlord powers, there must be Legendary Realm beings. It's just unclear how many legends they possess."
From this, it can be inferred that the Featherman Kingdom, a small country that seems to be of modest scale, also possesses beings of the Legendary Realm.
This is logical.
To say the Featherman Kingdom is small is only relative to 'national' level powers. Compared to Tianyuan Territory, the Featherman Kingdom is already quite vast. There, buildings are densely packed, and Third-order and Fourth-order strongmen are common sights.
According to Duo Lai's senses, the dozen or so Feathermen initially encountered, stationed by the Vitality Spirit Spring, were all at least of the Third-order.
Along the way, the number of Fourth-order Feathermen that Duo Lai encountered also exceeded a handful.
Yet, it is apparent that the quite formidable Featherman Kingdom cannot directly contend with the Monster Overlords and must survive in a reclusive manner.
The depths of the wilderness are indeed too dangerous.
"So, you understand how dangerous the outside is now, don't you? I can understand what you young folks think, but it's just too naive!"
The Featherman elder said.
The young Featherman warriors all bowed their heads. They weren't all convinced; it was just that in front of this old general, their throats moved, but they still couldn't think of any words to argue with.
The silence was suddenly broken.
Several young Feathermen flew down from the sky, with the leading Featherman youth sporting luxurious white wings and a diamond-shaped mark on his forehead.
He took over the conversation coldly, "But if our Featherman Kingdom does not venture out, we will only grow weaker until we perish like other surviving civilizations. Only by venturing out can we seek a glimmer of hope for survival!"
He clashed head-on with the Featherman elder, erupting into a fierce quarrel.
Such quarrels seemed to have occurred between them not just once or twice.
"This one is 'Yu Baisheng.' Baisheng is the strongest among the younger generation of our Featherman Kingdom. And it's not just the younger generation—he is the match of few veterans nowadays.
"Many people say that Baisheng could become the second most powerful being in our Featherman Kingdom after Her Majesty the Queen before he turns fifty."
Yu Rongyue introduced.
It was clear that he was a naïve Featherman. Just from this one sentence, Mu Yuan could tell that there was only one Legendary being in the Featherman Kingdom.
Duo Lai didn't think so much; it only thought that it was still a baby, not even a year old.
What is the concept of fifty years?
Scary!
"Not only that, Baisheng is also the leading figure of our Attack Faction."
The Attack Faction advocates for venturing outside the Featherman Kingdom to explore the outside world.
Apparently, there were two factions within the Featherman Kingdom: the Lockdown Faction, led by the Queen and the older generation, and the Attack Faction, led by the young strongmen.
General Yu Rongyue was also a core figure of the Attack Faction.
However, he was more conservative, being a conservative within the Attack Faction. Yu Baisheng, on the other hand, was one of the radicals of the Attack Faction and seemed to be about to come to blows with the old Featherman general.
Duo Lai was so entertained it almost wanted to crack open some seeds.
Unexpectedly, Yu Baisheng, the leading figure of the Radical Faction, suddenly turned around, his gaze sharp as he looked toward it, "If a human strongman can survive in the outside world, then, as long as I can defeat her, it will prove that we Featherman warriors also have the strength to explore the outside!"
"Human, I challenge you."
Duo Lai hadn't even started on any seeds, and the spotlight had already fallen on itself.
It widened its eyes.
Yu Rongyue stepped in, "This is a distinguished guest of our Featherman Kingdom."
Yu Baisheng produced an item emanating a faint blue glow and said, "Fight me with all your strength, win or lose, this treasure will be yours."
It was a Superior Grade material.
Even just as a material, it was of considerable value.
So, if you'd said this earlier, wouldn't it all have been settled?
"Of course~"
Duo Lai wiped away the nonexistent drool and responded seriously.
...
Half an hour later, on the training field east of the Featherman Kingdom.
Innumerable Feathermen flapped their wings, suspended mid-air, looking forward with great anticipation.
"Back off, back off, don't cross the marked line."
"This is the battle of a Fourth-order Leading Realm."
In the vast arena, the strongest warrior within the Featherman Kingdom, 'Yu Baisheng,' stood on the left side.
Duo Lai stood on the right side.
The Slime steed retreated to the edge of the field and pulled out two small flags from its belly, waving them one to the left and one to the right.
"I have to give it my all to earn the treasure reward..."
It thought earnestly.
But there are many kinds of 'all-out' effort.
The highest tier of full force is 'Hyper-limit Swallowing: Extreme Stance,' where a single Super-large Fireball could affect ten thousand meters. This definitely cannot be used casually.
The next level of full force is 'Hyper-limit Swallowing: Normal Stance.'
The level after that it's 'Normal State: Domain.'
And the level after that it's 'Normal State: Full Firepower.' It's decided then, you're the one.
Yu Baisheng took to the air slowly, holding a treasured bow in his hand.
The treasured bow shimmered with an extreme blue glow, looking even more formidable than the Whispering Bow used by Seventeen.
He drew the bowstring, and Arrows shot out like piercing light.
Fast! Extremely fast!
Concentric pale ripples pierced through the air in front of him.
Duo Lai brought his hands together without chanting, "Gravity: Dustless Land."
This was a technique naturally learned after its last evolution, an upgrade of its Gravity Gift Version.
An invisible Dust-Free Barrier expanded around Duo Lai, with a radius of 10.8 meters. Each supremely sharp Arrow halted just before the boundary and burst explosively.
However, Yu Baisheng quickly continued to draw the bowstring, unleashing a series of luminous Arrows that bombarded Duo Lai's Dust-Free Barrier, causing visible ripples to spread.
"They're both so powerful."
"But our Lord Baisheng is still a notch above."
Around the young Featherman strongman, winds and clouds surged, and his Arrow's intent, having reached a state of perfection, seemed to be taking half a step toward an even higher place.
Vaguely, the shadow of a massive pair of white wings emerged behind him.
Half-Imagery Level!
General Spot showed a relieved expression, "It looks like Baisheng has the potential to take that step; it's just that this child is impatient. Now that he has defeated this outsider..."
However, above the blue-haired girl, a strange scene was also vaguely outlined, filled with flashing thunder and skies covered in red clouds.
She too was a Half-Imagery Level Strongman.
"I'm going to go all out now," she said.
As soon as her words fell, a lifelike Thunder Dragon appeared out of nowhere, its teeth and claws sprawling over the world before her.
It struck first even though it was released later, and even such skills that could be deemed ultimate moves seemed to be executed without chanting or Charging.
How could this be possible?
Yu Baisheng shot out several Arrows, powerful enough to penetrate heaven and earth.
The Arrows tore through space like pillars of light that could tear apart anything.
The light pillars collided with the Thunder Dragon.
A buzzing sound filled the space between heaven and earth, and an energy storm exploded, sending turbulence billowing; the terrible tidal wave of energy obscured the world in front of them.
As the Feathermen panicked and retreated, while wondering who would win this clash, several Thunder Dragons, every bit as formidable as the previous ones, emerged from the tidal waves and smoke.
They surrounded the young Featherman, their eyes as large as car headlights.
Facing these sets of eyes, Yu Baisheng felt as if he was engulfed in destruction; a chilling sensation rushed up his spine to the crown of his head.
His wings drooped, and he slid powerlessly from midair to the ground, still standing in a daze, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses; his mind was filled with those pairs of eyes, brimming with devastation and great terror.
After a while,
The Thunder Dragons in the sky slowly dispersed.
The energy tide also vanished without a trace, as if absorbed by something.
Behind the clearing dust, the blue-haired girl still stood in her original spot, untouched by dirt.
The Coercion emanating from her had dissipated, and she appeared completely harmless.
But no one would think so.
Especially Yu Baisheng, who had faced down the authority of the prison god himself.
He had lost.
Utterly so.
"The elders were right; the outside world is still too dangerous," he murmured.
