Chapter 1097 Completely Different (1)
In the report that he had read, it had been stated that the Mu Stellar Kingdom was currently being besieged by one of the smaller Beast Race tribes that had snuck away from the main army. It seemed that this Beast Race tribe wouldn't be able to gain anything if they were to attack the main Lin Astral Empire forces, so they wanted to attack the smaller Mu Stellar Kingdom to maximize their benefits.
This was a smaller tribe, so they didn't have any Ruler Experts.
This allowed the Mu Stellar Kingdom to fight back against this smaller Beast Race tribe.
The Mu Stellar Kingdom had been favoured because of how close they, or rather their Stellar King was to Lin Fan. So they had received quite a few benefits from not just the Lin Astral Empire, but also the surrounding Stellar Kingdoms.
This had allowed them to grow their power over the years, so they didn't lose out to Beast Race when they had invaded.
They were able to hold back the Beast Race at first, keeping them on the edge of their territory.
But when the Beast Race started gaining the strange power, the tribe that was attacking the Mu Stellar Kingdom wasn't an exception.
With this strange power, they were able to push back to the forces of the Mu Stellar Kingdom.
In just a few short months, the Mu Stellar Kingdom had already lost 20% of their territory and the trend made it seem like it was very likely that they would lose even more.
So he couldn't help being worried about the people that he had left behind in the Mu Stellar Kingdom.
Especially Xin'er who he treated as a daughter.
Her real father was the Mu Stellar King, so there was no doubt that she was currently suffering in the Mu Stellar Kingdom.
Both Lin Fan and Angela were thinking the same thing as they were both in a rush to reach the Mu Stellar Kingdom.
But when they arrived, they found…the forces of the Mu Stellar Kingdom currently facing off against the forces of the Beast Race.
This was the edge of the Mu Stellar Kingdom's territory that they had just arrived in and they had picked up energy signals on the sensors of the ship.
When they followed these energy signals, they had found a planet where these energy signals were coming from.
From a scan of the planet, they found that it was some beasts that were currently fighting with some humans.
As soon as they saw this, Lin Fan didn't hesitate to order his group to set down on the planet.
The guards looked like they were thinking otherwise, but since it was Lin Fan's order, they had no choice.
These guards and Angela's troops had already experienced fighting these demon beasts before, so they knew what kind of abilities that they had. But they had never been able to figure out a way to counter these abilities…so they had suffered quite a bit at the hands of these beasts.
Even now, they didn't have any confidence in facing these beasts that were fighting the Mu Stellar Kingdom army.
After they landed, Lin Fan was the first one to get out of the ship and charge at the Beast Race troops.
When the guards and soldiers were still hesitating, Lin Fan was already on his way.
Following closely behind him were Angela, Yuki, and Momonga who had already expected him to do this.
However, all of them had worried looks as well.
Since they had helped the Lin Astral Empire's army, they had all experienced the strange power that the Beast Race troops had gained.
Even at their level of cultivation, they hadn't been able to figure out a way to deal with these Beast Race troops.
So they were worried that even Lin Fan would suffer.
When the Beast Race troops saw them charging over, they were caught off guard.
However, not a single one of the Beast Race troops seemed worried.
Instead, they all had smiles on their faces as if they were staring at an idiot who was charging to his death.
They didn't hesitate at all to spread out so that they surrounded Lin Fan's group.
When the guards and soldiers saw this, they all thought that it was over for Lin Fan.
They wanted to rush forward to help, but Lin Fan's group had been too fast for them to catch up with. Even if they ran at their full speed, they still wouldn't be able to catch up to them in time to help them fight the demon beasts that currently surrounded them.
The demon beasts were about to release their attacks on Lin Fan, but Lin Fan just casually raised his hand and punched out.
The shockwave from this punch alone was enough to push back all of the demon beasts that surrounded him. At the same time, all of the demon beasts suddenly spat out blood as they suffered injuries of varying degrees.
At this, the demon beasts realized that they had completely underestimated Lin Fan.
When Lin Fan showed his power, they realized…that he wasn't a fool that had rushed to his death. He was an expert that far surpassed them when it came to power.
They realized that he was a Ruler Realm Expert!
But even then, the demon beasts didn't back down.
Instead, they spread out all around Lin Fan in a certain pattern.
It seemed like they were taking a formation to deal with Lin Fan.
This formation locked out the guards and soldiers that wanted to help since the demon beasts released a power that they were familiar with. This was the strange power that they had gained in just the past few months that they weren't able to break through.
However, when they were in formation like this, they found that this strange power became even stronger.
It seemed that they had already prepared for the chance that Ruler Realm Experts would join the battle one day.
When Lin Fan's group saw this, they all had different expressions.
Angela and the rest revealed ugly expressions since they had already experienced this power before.
Even with their level of cultivation, they had never been able to figure out just what this power did.
As far as they could tell, it was a power that was able to defend and attack at the same time, but they had no idea just how it worked. They knew that it wasn't a type of power that was native to their world, so they just couldn't understand how it worked.
But Lin Fan had a calm look on his face as he watched the demon beast get in formation like this.
It was as if he wasn't worried at all about the power that they were about to use.
The demon beast took some time, but they were able to gather their power in the end.
Then, they suddenly released it at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan didn't see anything strange about the space around him, but he could feel as if there was something there. There was this strange flow to the space around him, almost as if it was warping in on itself and was about to crush him.
He could see that it wasn't just him that felt this way since he could see the strained looks on the faces of Angela and the others.
But even if he was able to sense that it had something to do with the space around him, he wasn't able to tell just what kind of law it was.
This was similar to spatial laws, but it was also something different…
Still, he didn't have that much time to analyze it since it was getting dangerous.
As the space around them warped more and more, he was even starting to feel some kind of pressure from it. It seemed that if it became strong enough, this warping space might even be able to hurt him.
So he had to take care of it before then.
Angela and the others didn't make a move since they had wanted Lin Fan to experience this strange power that the demon beast had, but since it was getting stronger, they had no choice but to interfere. After all, they couldn't just let themselves be hurt by this strange power.
But before they could do anything, Lin Fan suddenly raised his hand.
When he did, there was this strange black net that appeared from the palm of his hand.
This strange black net spread all around them and when it did, they felt the pressure from the warping space around them disappear.
It was as if the black net had suddenly made whatever was warping the space around him disappear.
But it didn't stop there.
When the black net appeared, the demon beasts suddenly revealed strange looks.
It didn't take long before these strange looks had turned into looks of shock and horror.
That was because they could feel the power that they were using being sucked into that strange black net that had come out of Lin Fan's hand.
They had tried to pull back their powers, but they found that they weren't able to do that. No matter how hard they tried resisting, they weren't able to break free of the suction force that came from the black net.
It didn't take long for the first demon beast to fall down…and then the rest of them fell with that first demon beast.
The look on their faces showed that they were completely drained of all their power by that black net.
