"Who is it?"
"Chen Fan?"
"That's right."
The Yueyang City Lord gave a nod. "He's the only one who'd rush to our aid in this moment. And earlier, inside the city, recall that paralysis gripping your bodies? If I'm correct, his hand was behind that too."
No one could utter a word amid the shock.
They were aware of Chen Fan's strength.
Yet they hadn't dreamed he'd possess such overwhelming might.
Not even they grasped how he'd struck.
...
Awakened Association Headquarters.
The Thunder Emperor and War Emperor stared at the wall map.
"Word from Yueyang City: the Beast Tide assaulting them has been driven back."
A grin spread across War Emperor's features.
"The Beast Tide got pushed away, but they're still reeling in disbelief. They've asked me over and over if Chen Fan showed up and why they never spotted him."
Thunder Emperor's face lit up with a smile at the news.
However, as his eyes drifted to the upcoming key cities, worry clouded his expression.
"These Fierce Beasts aren't idiots. After failing at Yueyang City, they'll know Yan Country deployed its top fighter. Those Beast Emperors have bided their time for this; they're bound to strike the next major cities, lying in wait for Chen Fan to show."
"True, though they never saw that help coming from us."
Following Yueyang City, Chen Fan hurried to three more major cities in turn, scattering the Beast Tides surrounding each.
But once he'd cleared the Fierce Beasts from the final one, he held his ground instead of departing, detecting four powerful presences drawing near.
"At last, they've shown up."
A flicker of approval gleamed in Chen Fan's gaze.
He understood these Beast Emperors had been locked in a test of endurance against figures like the Thunder Emperor.
To determine who'd blink first.
The moment one side struck, the other could counter precisely.
By acting so boldly, he was certain to draw the Beast Emperors' focus, maybe even luring them all at once.
Exactly as anticipated.
All four Beast Emperors had arrived.
"What's that?"
"B-Beast Emperors?"
Yunyang City's residents lingered in the thrill of their narrow escape.
That elation shattered as four enormous forms advanced from east, south, west, and north; joy fled their faces, plunging hearts into frozen dread.
From the east came the Five-headed Serpent Emperor, stretching nearly 150 meters high. Once boasting six heads until the Thunder Emperor claimed one, its five now lent it an even fiercer menace.
Southward lumbered the Flaming Giant Elephant, topping a hundred meters, massive as a minor peak. Flames erupted in its wake wherever it trod. This Beast Emperor had clashed with the War Emperor, withdrawing only after the Six-headed Serpent Emperor suffered its loss.
Westward soared the Iron-winged Flying Dragon, a lizard-born Fierce Beast. Among the trio of Beast Emperors, its striking force lagged a bit, yet it proved the thorniest due to its flight.
From the north emerged an unknown Fierce Beast, lion-like with a golden coat; its stature exceeding a hundred meters marked it unmistakably as Beast Emperor tier.
"Fo-Four Beast Emperors."
Yunyang City's Lord stood speechless.
Whispers held that this Beast Tide revival stemmed from a fourth Beast Emperor rising among the Fierce Beasts.
Now it rang true—the golden lion was that fresh powerhouse.
Yet for one grand city, did they need to unleash all four?
Wouldn't a single one do?
The city's folk froze in terror, minds wiped blank.
The four Beast Emperors scanned the area before their eyes locked onto Chen Fan as one.
His presence radiated immense power to them.
Confusion mingled in their thoughts too.
Shouldn't it be the Thunder Emperor, War Emperor, or Ice Emperor—one or maybe two—here?
Even all three wouldn't daunt them; victory was assured in crushing them on this spot.
But scanning around revealed none of the trio—merely an unfamiliar face.
"Human, who might you be? You're a stranger to us."
The Flaming Giant Elephant rumbled, its thunderous tone making the wall defenders' ears ring.
"Seeing me now isn't too late."
Chen Fan replied with steady calm.
The Beast Emperors shared looks.
This human displayed excessive poise.
With their united front, even the three wouldn't stay this unruffled.
"Why bother chatting with him? Tomorrow marks his doom—and the whole city's."
A head of the Five-headed Serpent Emperor hissed with venomous cold.
"I figured we'd hook a real prize this round, but it's just one. Still, this youth packs some punch. Ending him hits the Human Race hard."
The Iron-winged Flying Dragon remarked, voice tinged with mild regret.
"I'll handle it."
The Golden Giant Lion urged, brimming with zeal.
As the newest Beast Emperor, it itched to showcase its prowess.
And this human stood as the ideal target.
The other three Beast Emperors traded glances, holding off on consent.
Admittedly, it offered the Golden Giant Lion a prime chance, but delays could summon Human Race aid, spelling hassle.
For caution's sake, uniting to slay this youth before them seemed wiser.
"Better if you all charge at me at once."
Chen Fan's words cut through then.
Not loud, yet the taunt scorched like fire.
Humans and Beast Emperors alike froze in stunned silence.
The people brimmed with awe for Chen Fan.
Still, four Beast Emperor Fierce Beasts loomed ahead!
Even Thunder Emperor's arrival might not guarantee triumph.
No matter his skill, could he truly face four alone?
The four Beast Emperors blinked in shock, then fury ignited.
"Brat, you're short in stature but huge in arrogance."
The Flaming Giant Elephant thundered.
"Is that so?"
Chen Fan's lips curved faintly.
In the instant after, a Dharma Aspect surged skyward, surpassing a thousand meters.
This towering form mirrored him strikingly.
Plainly, it was his own.
"!!!"
Yunyang City's Lord and companions gaped upward at the Dharma Aspect, words failing their awe.
They'd deemed the Beast Emperor's size immense; city walls barely reached half.
But this heaven-spanning Dharma Aspect dwarfed the Beast Emperors several fold, rendering the once-mighty foes mere specks below.
"H-how can this be!"
The four Beast Emperors gawked, equally floored.
They even stumbled back instinctively.
The Golden Giant Lion especially quivered outright.
"Stay calm. This could be a trick illusion to frighten us."
The Five-headed Serpent Emperor urged.
"Think so?"
Chen Fan's voice echoed as the Dharma Aspect whipped its colossal arm, shattering air with sonic blasts.
The Five-headed Serpent Emperor jolted, scrambling to evade.
Soon it realized its pace couldn't rival the plummeting hand. As capture loomed, its five heads unleashed gales and lightning blasts.
The strikes landed like mere scratches, inflicting no damage.
The very next beat.
The massive hand clamped down tight.
Sensing mortal peril, the Five-headed Serpent Emperor begged desperately.
"N-no, mercy, please!"
"Spare us!"
"We'll yield!"
Chen Fan acted deaf, squeezing just a touch.
Boom—the Five-headed Serpent Emperor's form exploded utterly.
The Five-headed Serpent Emperor met its end.
All unfolded in a flash.
The fearsome Beast Emperor fell slain on the spot.
Onlookers and the remaining three Beast Emperors alike turned to stone, rooted in horrified disbelief.
