CHAPTER 714: CHAPTER 714: BEASTMAN ARMY, HU HENG’S CHOICE!

"Everyone, this is a potion that can quickly enhance your strength. If successful, you’ll be at least at the quasi-Martial God Realm."

"Here, I must advise all of you: the more you resist, the higher the chance of failure. And if you fail, you’ll die. Understand?"

After bringing out the potion, the higher-ups of the Zhang Family loudly indicated, threatening them.

"What? We can become stronger quickly? At least at the quasi-Martial God Realm?"

"So that’s how it is! Indeed, with our current strength, we are of no use to the Zhang Family. That’s why they use this method to enhance our abilities."

"Haha! Can I also become a quasi-Martial God powerhouse soon? This is freaking awesome."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall became extremely excited, automatically allowing members of the Celestial Punishment Association to inject them with the potion.

The injection process was quick, and so far, there hadn’t been any cases of failure after the injection, reassuring these people even more.

After more than an hour, thousands had been injected, waiting for the effects of the potion to take place.

"Ah!"

"Ahhh!"

At this moment, those who had been injected earlier began to cry out in pain.

However, with their cries, they felt their aura rapidly strengthening.

Half-step Martial God!

Quasi-Martial God!

In just half an hour, even the weakest among them attained the strength of a quasi-Martial God.

Among them, the strongest one reached the peak of the quasi-Martial God level.

"Haha! Have I become a powerhouse? I’m finally a quasi-Martial God."

"Haha! I’m a quasi-Martial God, damn, that’s incredible."

Feeling their aura become exceptionally strong, these people laughed excitedly, visibly very thrilled.

As for the remaining people, they looked on enviously, awaiting the potion’s effects on them.

Very soon, the strength of everyone in the hall started to increase rapidly.

Eventually, nearly three thousand people were at the weakest quasi-Martial God level.

A bit stronger were the veteran quasi-Martial Gods, numbering over a thousand.

Even stronger, at the peak of quasi-Martial God, were more than five hundred people.

The strongest among them reached the Martial God level, and there were over fifty such individuals.

Seeing these results, the Zhang Family and Celestial Punishment Association’s people nodded in satisfaction.

With such a powerful Beastman Army, their plan against the Dragon Country’s cultivation realm would undoubtedly proceed more smoothly.

"Ah! It hurts."

"What’s happening? Why do I feel my bones changing, my appearance altering?"

"Phew! My face, my body, what’s going on?"

At this moment, another wave of screams echoed throughout the hall as everyone who used the potion started mutating.

Initially, their faces began morphing towards a beast-like appearance.

After their faces changed sufficiently, next came their bodies and arms.

Their lower bodies only became stronger and sturdier, without other changes.

Half-beast, half-human: this was the effect of the potion.

Once in this form, they could be called the Beastman Army, with terrifying defense and strength.

The weakest quasi-Martial Gods could now leverage their powerful bodies to contend with ordinary veteran quasi-Martial Gods.

The stronger ones were even more terrifying, capable of battling an entire realm above their level.

Seeing such a Beastman Army, the Zhang Family members were filled with confidence for the upcoming war.

Meanwhile, they had people continue torturing the uncompliant individuals, hoping to turn them into beastmen as well before the big battle.

....

At the same time, outside the Zhang Family, Hu Heng had arrived to request an audience with the Zhang Family’s higher-ups.

A member of the Zhang Family received him, and upon hearing he was there to help the Zhang Family against the Ye Family, they promptly introduced him to an elder.

Seeing that Hu Heng seemed to have decent talent and passable strength, a Zhang Family elder brought him before Patriarch Zhang.

"Are you sure you want to help my Zhang Family against the Ye Family?" Looking at Hu Heng, Patriarch Zhang nodded, asking uncertainly.

"Yes, I have a deep-seated vendetta against Patriarch Ye, Ye Feng. I will do whatever it takes to kill Ye Feng." Hu Heng nodded grimly, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

Upon mentioning Ye Feng, a look of hatred burst forth in his eyes, making it clear he wasn’t lying.

"Good! Since you are mortal enemies with the Ye Family, my Zhang Family can help you. Would you like to seek your revenge on that Ye Feng scoundrel yourself?" Patriarch Zhang nodded and asked with a smile.

"I would! As long as I can have my revenge, I’m willing to die." Hu Heng nodded without hesitation.

"Good!" With Patriarch Zhang’s approval, a representative from the Celestial Punishment Association, wearing a mask, appeared before Patriarch Zhang.

"This is the perfect potion, ideal for him to use. If successful, he will attain power beyond the peak Martial God level." The representative of the Celestial Punishment Association nodded approvingly at Hu Heng, taking out a bottle of potion as a gesture.

This particular potion was extremely rare within the Celestial Punishment Association. From the start of its research till now, only about five bottles had been produced, all but the very last one already used. They hadn’t found a suitable candidate until now.

To their surprise, they really encountered one.

Considering Hu Heng’s decent cultivation talent, along with his experiences which forged extreme resilience, allowing him to bear the potion’s pain.

Additionally, the cultivation technique Hu Heng practiced seemed very suitable for this particular potion.

"Are you willing?" Patriarch Zhang asked Hu Heng expectantly.

Originally, Patriarch Zhang planned to let Hu Heng use an advanced Martial God potion to see if he could accomplish miracles.

But to his surprise, the Celestial Punishment Association offered an even better potion to turn Hu Heng into a peak Martial God.

It was like a pie from heaven, giving him an enormous surprise.

In his view, since Hu Heng approached the Zhang Family, naturally, he’d be willing to become part of the Zhang Family. The stronger Hu Heng became, the more beneficial it would be for the Zhang Family.

"I am willing!" Hu Heng agreed without a second thought.

Thus, the Celestial Punishment Association representative handed the potion to Hu Heng, instructing him to use it.

"Ah! Ahhh!" As soon as Hu Heng drank the potion, he began to scream in agony.

Seeing Hu Heng in such pain, the Celestial Punishment Association representative furrowed their brows, fearing Hu Heng might fail.

If Hu Heng failed, he would die, and the potion would be wasted.

Such a potion was extremely costly, and even with money, the materials were hard to come by, making it incredibly precious.

If wasted, the loss for the Celestial Punishment Association would be immense.

In an instant, all eyes were on Hu Heng, each fearing for his potential failure.

Success or failure, it all hinges on a moment’s decision....
