I'll Surpass The MC

"You've become the Empyrean Tusk King!" The Boar King's announcement shocked the Mammoth Clan, causing the Clansmen to stare at each other in confusion, wondering what the Boar King actually meant.

At that moment, the 43rd Empyrean Tusk inhaled air from its trunk, pulling the 44 Settlement Leaders closer to each other. It then extended its trunk.

'It wants to communicate with us.' Grehha knew it by experience as he churned all his Prana to his head. Only this way would his head not explode from communicating with an Empyrean Tusk. Of course, all his Prana would be consumed to facilitate this, so it was the last time he could communicate.

He would need to rest for a month following this to recover his weary mind.

"All Settlement Leaders, please place a hand on this bubble," Grehha said and pointed to the Empyrean Incubator he had condensed. Upon seeing the Settlement Leaders stare at each other in confusion, he urged, "Please hurry! We're running out of time!"

As everyone touched the Empyrean Incubator, the 43rd Empyrean Tusk touched a part, causing a message to resound in the minds of all Settlement Leaders.

[Resha is our ultimate weapon against the Boar King! Protect him by sacrificing your lives!]

The command was short and it forced them to die fighting the Boar King. But there wasn't even a hesitation among the Settlement Leaders whose figures vanished from the mountain peak.

After giving its command, the 43rd Empyrean Tusk stared at Yuza and gently touched her stomach, seeping her essence into the baby growing in the womb, announcing to all Empyrean Tusks in the herd.

[She's the new Harrala!]

Harrala, that was the 43rd Empyrean Tusk's name. And now, the inheritance ceremony was completed.

Following that, the 43rd Empyrean Tusk walked towards the 44th Empyrean Tusk's corpse, observing that the space within her almost destabilised, on the verge of erupting. The explosion would destroy the region, enveloping the Mammoth Clan on the mountain too.

The 43rd Empyrean Tusk opened its mouth wide and unleashed a powerful suction force, causing a tornado to form in the area. The tornado enveloped Gannala's corpse and began to shred it apart, accurately doing so to ensure all internal organs remained in one piece.

Soon after, Gannala's body parts flew into Harrala's mouth, compressed and stored in her organs. But, this was dangerous as her body was now about to blow up too.

Seeing the 43rd Empyrean Tusk's actions, the rest of the herd hurriedly used their Prana to recover and got up for a second round against the Boar King.

"I don't know your name, but before you reach your peak, I'll kill you." The Boar King said and launched the Prana Shock, "There can only be one king in Sumatra."

Boom!

The Prana Shock resulted in a massive explosion, large enough to destroy a mountain. But right as the explosion began, shadows flew into its midst and appeared between Resha and the Boar King.

It was the Settlement Leaders. One after another, they transformed into Pranic Beasts and tanked the attack using their bodies, absorbing most of the damage.

Bora Tusk rushed at the back and transformed into a serpent as he coiled around Resha, protecting him from the explosion.

The Boar King glared as he stared at the corpses of the Settlement Leaders on the ground. He then noticed a serpent coiled around Resha, protecting him. By sacrificing their lives, the Settlement Leaders expended the Boar King's attack and ensured Resha remained alive.

"Well, you stopped one attack." The Boar King snorted and charged up a second Prana Shock.

One of the corpses in the back twitched as appearing next to it was Yahard Tusk. He didn't even glance at his corpse and leaped forward in his Pranic Beast form, condensing an energy sword that he slashed with.

The attack targeted the charging Prana Shock, interrupting the process to cause a premature explosion, sending the Boar King skidding back by a few metres.

The Boar King stared at Yahard Tusk's corpse that had intended to injure him during the explosion. His energy sword indeed managed to reach his target, but the mysterious scales growing on the Boar King stopped the attack.

And in response, he punched forth, causing Yahard Tusk's head to splatter, "That makes it two deaths for you."

The Boar King wasn't even in the least bothered by the interruption. His goal was to annihilate the Empyrean Tusk herd. And killing the leaders of the Mammoth Clan only brought him closer to the goal.

Yahard Tusk—7-Life Stage!

.

.

Yahard Tusk—5-Life Stage!

After dying twice, Yahard Tusk's cultivation dropped by two levels, turning him weaker. But he didn't mind it, for he still had five more lives. Only after he dies five more times would he truly be dead.

Besides, he could always cultivate from scratch after this and recover his lost levels. The priority was to protect Resha and survive this disaster.

Dozens of Natures were activated and targeted the Boar King, with the majority barely causing him to flinch. The Boar King systematically countered the attacks and killed the Settlement Leaders one after another, causing their levels to steadily drop, which in turn made their subsequent attacks weaker.

"You seem the strongest of the lot." The Boar King said as he tanked an attack with his face, feeling a sting as he observed the attacker, "You must be the Mammoth Clan Chief!"

The Mammoth Clan Chief was the Settlement Leader of the 1st Empyrean Tusk, the strongest in their Clan. He also boasted the highest cultivation at the 8-Life Stage. But that was an old story already.

Now that the Boar King's hand pierced through his chest and crushed his heart, he dropped a level.

Without any hesitation, the Mammoth Clan Chief appeared behind his corpse and punched forth, using his corpse as a cover to activate his Nature to the limit and unleash his strongest blow, sending the Boar King flying high in the air.

"Urgh!" The Boar King felt suffocated, unable to breathe as he felt his ribs cracking once again, 'Did I fail to fully recover from that hammer attack?'

'Something was different with his attack. He's an Empyrean Tusk King after all, though a fledgeling.' The Boar King thought, observing a foreign substance had seeped into his skeleton and was corroding it from the inside, turning him weaker with every passing second.

"This bastard…" He stared at the unconscious Resha for a moment before glaring at the Mammoth Clan Chief who had targeted the same spot, hence dealing significant damage.

"I'll leave the rest to you." Saying so, the Mammoth Clan Chief collapsed to the ground, fainting as he had used all his Prana.

A mysterious force carried the Boar King away from the battle station, right into the congregation of Empyrean Tusks that had been preparing for the attack. The image originally displayed their bodies sprawled on the ground. But once he approached them, the image vanished, replaced by the group of raging Empyrean Tusks, fully charged with their attacks.

'I didn't notice their preparation at all…' The Boar King thought in shock before glaring at a group of Settlement Leaders that coughed out blood, 'An illusion?'

"Impressive," He commented as he fell to the centre of the circle formed by 36 Empyrean Tusks. An instant later, ultrasonic sounds rattled him, this time rupturing his skeleton.
