Chapter 128 Empyrean Boar King’s Ravaged Tribe
"Oh, Fuck!" Undrakha and Renduldu exclaimed in unison as their bodies vanished, transported into the Transcendent World hovering far away in the sky.
Brangara's abilities evolved once he became the Empyrean Boar King. He finally entered the Body Stage which didn't seem possible until then. And since he already had his Pranic Beast form, that became his body.
Since his body had already attained maturity, Brangara reached the peak of the Body Stage.
The Mammoth Clansmen atop the 1st Empyrean Tusk rushed at him, intending to put an end to his life. In response, he bellowed, "Not so fast, fuckers. You tortured me until now. From today, the roles have been reversed!"
Since he was currently being reinforced by over a hundred Primary Natures of Voracious Nature, Brangara was at his strongest. He raised his hand and slammed forth, destroying the settlement, and sending everyone flying.
Swathes of bone forming the 1st Empyrean Tusk's exoskeleton began to flow like the sea as it was entering its battle form.
He knew better than to challenge it, for even in his current state, one hit from it, and he would die. Instead, Brangara used the Sandy-Grey Void to his advantage and leaped off from the 1st Empyrean Tusk, disappearing in the darkness.
He circled around them, making a calculation based on their travel route as he rushed to the herd's back and targeted the 100th Empyrean Tusk, injuring it since it was still in its energy-saving form.

The 1st Empyrean Tusk's roar alerted all 100 Empyrean Tusks into action as they searched around while fighting against Brangara's sneak attacks. In the chaos, they veered off from the designated route, causing the legs of the Empyrean Tusks to begin sinking.
The battle raged for eight long years, resulting in the deaths of six Empyrean Tusks. As Brangara never fought them directly but instead harassed them with sneak attacks, they took significant losses.
Moreover, whenever he wished to rest, he transformed into a human and actually took refuge in a Settlement. Once he had rested and recovered, he silently escaped, transformed into the Empyrean Boar King, and returned to attack them, making it seem as if he was tracking them through the Sandy-Grey Void.
By the time the Empyrean Tusks figured out his plan, six of them were already dead, consumed by him. Moreover, the energy he obtained from swallowing six Empyrean Tusks allowed him to keep fighting without rest.
Only after he stops using his abilities will the activated Primary Natures disappear from his body. Since he had enough Prana to supply for their activation, thanks to the Empyrean Boar corpses, he continued to harass them.
But after a while, he hit his limit when the Sandy-Grey Void became increasingly treacherous. In the end, he had to stop the hunt and return to Sumatra Continent. Even though only six Empyrean Tusks had been killed, that day signalled the rise of a predator that targeted even Empyrean Tusks alone.
Soon, the name of Boar King resounded throughout Sumatra Continent, feared by all, a terrifying Pranic Beast with an insatiable appetite that hunted even Empyrean Tusks.
Since there were still 88 Empyrean Tusks left behind on Sumatra Continent, the Boar King intended to wipe them out first. After that, he would follow the first herd into the new continent and slaughter them all there.
…
Staring at the Rooster Tribe, the Boar King muttered, "Seeing the Sandy-Grey Void here made me recall my horrifying past."
He sighed and thought about the Mammoth Clan, "Through the Mammoth Clansmen, the Empyrean Tusks increase their numbers. Before the arrival of the Mammoth Clan Ancestor, they were merely a Ravaged Tribe that were slaves to the Empyrean Tusks."
"No, they weren't even Empyrean Tusks back then." He nodded and calmly observed the Rooster Tribesmen flailing about in fluster to notify the Rockatrice about the broken wall, "I'm alone. My race has been annihilated. But,"
His eyes glinted in excitement, "If I create a Ravaged Tribe of my own and make them evolve into Clansmen, as long as I take the same route as the Empyrean Tusks, I should be able to create my brethren through them."
"Hahaha!" He roared in laughter, "You fucker that lured me into the trap. You just enlightened me with hope."
"I'll raise my brethren and casually erase your kind." He was confident, especially with the information he had accumulated, "In three generations, I'll create my Clansmen."
The Boar King's figure flashed through the region, observing all five Tribesmen. He spent a month obtaining enough data. Once satisfied, he left the region, making a beeline towards the Varahan Enclave. 'There's a Kingdom of Free Humans five thousand kilometres away from my home. I'll turn them all into my Ravaged Tribe.'
He jumped through the kilometre-wide Sandy-Grey Void, noting down the Mudropper's position along the way, 'It seems to be preparing to lay down more of its kind. That's better. I'll return when there's a bunch of them and swallow the Primary Natures of half of them.'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOriginally, the Boar King that should have faced the Empyrean Tusk herd and Mammoth Clan alone has now veered in a completely different direction.
Inala's plan intended to make the Boar King fall prey to the trap and hence think of all future cries from baby Gannala as traps too. That indeed worked spectacularly.
From Inala's perspective, that was a resounding success. Now, he didn't have to worry about the Boar King chasing after him until baby Gannala matured. Even if he did, Inala could simply law down another such trap, fooling the Boar King once again.
Fool him enough times and in the future, even if he hears the cries of a baby Empyrean Tusk, the Boar King would shy away from making the journey. Until here, things had gone as planned.
But the result was a blunder. Originally, the entity that was strong enough to not need anyone now desired to repopulate his race.
And if he succeeds, under the Boar King would be an army of intelligent Empyrean Boars that had full control over their abilities.
The army of Empyrean Boars would face the Empyrean Tusks. And whatever Clan Brangara creates would end up facing the Mammoth Clan.
The endgame changed from a single, overpowered enemy to an overpowered enemy with an army. It was unknown who would face the brunt of this blunder. But as part of the Mammoth Clan, all reincarnates were in the same situation.
From now on, no matter where in the world they hid themselves, the Boar King wouldn't bother with them. Instead, the Clan serving him would scour throughout Sumatra Continent to weed out any hiding Mammoth Clansmen.
The birth of baby Gannala already changed the plot once, causing the Boar King and the Empyrean Tusk herd to clash prematurely. And now, Inala's blunder changed the plot further, resulting in the birth of an opposing force.
