36: Beast King appears

Qiong Qi shook its head in the smoke and dust, its crimson eyes shrinking from the intense pain.

It licked the blood foam between its fangs, a low growl rolling from its throat.

That was not just pain, but a fury driven to a desperate dead end.

Seeing there was no way back, Qiong Qi suddenly raised its head, its beastly pupils crimson like blood, black mist churning around its body, and its Evil Qi surged!

It became completely mad and began to burn its Origin. Its Physical Body expanded, its scales cracked inch by inch, revealing white bones, yet its Aura became increasingly terrifying!

It spread its wings, whipping up a monstrous black wind as it lunged toward Qing Wu and the other!

Boom—!

Qing Wu's sword light was like a dragon as he struck Qiong Qi head-on. The airwaves exploded, and mountains for tens of millions of miles around collapsed!

Qiong Qi's body slammed into the ground, and the foul wind it spat out while roaring tore a ravine through the sea of clouds.

Before it could pause for a moment, Yuan Feng flapped her wings, and one hundred and eight thousand phoenix feathers shot out, turning into a waterfall of flowing fire that surged toward Qiong Qi.

Each plume fell to the ground and took deep root, connecting with one another to form a suppressive great array.

The Aura of the exploding Nanmingli Fire churned within the array, and series of explosions rang out around Qiong Qi.

Yuan Feng's gaze turned sharp, and all the phoenix feathers suddenly tightened.

Crimson-gold chains appeared in the array, wrapping around Qiong Qi's limbs like living things. The Nanmingli Fire scorched Qiong Qi's scales, making a "sizzling" sound.

Qiong Qi roared in pain, yet it used the pulling force of the chains to lunge upward, trying to escape the suppression.

Qing Wu swept his sword finger, and the Li Wu Sword split into thousands of Sword Qi, pouring down like a rainstorm.

Qiong Qi did not dodge or yield, allowing the sword blades to slice through its flesh.

Seeing Qiong Qi was about to escape the suppression, Qing Wu pointed his fingers like a sword, and the green light at his brow surged: "Heaven-Toppling Slash!"

The main body of the Li Wu Sword suspended in the air suddenly vanished, and when it reappeared, it had already pierced through Qiong Qi's chest!

The green Dao patterns attached to the sword blade moved like living snakes, frantically devouring the Vicious Beast's essence blood.

Qiong Qi's body froze. It looked down at the bloody hole in its chest and let out roars of disbelief.

How could Yuan Feng allow it to catch its breath?

Thousands of phoenix feathers suddenly merged into one. The divine phoenix plume transformed into a scarlet-flamed spear and pierced through Qiong Qi's body from the top of its head!

The Nanmingli Fire burned from the inside out. Fire spewed from Qiong Qi's seven orifices, yet it still struggled.

Its bone claws dug into the ground, dragging out a ten-thousand-zhang ravine, as it actually still tried to pounce on the two.

Qing Wu sighed and pressed his palm down: "Suppress!"

The main body of the Profundity Yellow Golden Bell crashed down, completely covering Qiong Qi.

Five tones chimed together inside the bell, and the series of sonic booms caused Qiong Qi's flesh to disintegrate inch by inch.

Finally, only an inner core covered in cracks remained, which shattered into powder with a "crack."

Thousands of units of Evil Qi were also slowly dissolved and guided by the Golden Bell, eventually settling into a pitch-black crystal core.

This crystal core was in an extremely unstable state, so it was suppressed within the Golden Bell by Qing Wu.

The wind stopped and the clouds dispersed, leaving only scorched earth.

Yuan Feng put away the divine phoenix plume and coughed lightly: "I underestimated it after all."

Qing Wu looked at the pile of black ash under the Golden Bell and shook his head: "A king of Vicious Beasts, ultimately driven mad by obsession."

The slaying of Qiong Qi was only the beginning, symbolizing that from then on, the high-level combat power of the Vicious Beast side was already a head lower than the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races.

The Vicious Beast army began to be unable to withstand the assault of the myriad races.

Tao Tie retreated repeatedly under the monstrous dragon pressure of Zu Long, its scales shattered and blood staining the sky.

It roared, its mouth that could devour all things now only able to pathetically swallow the fleeing remnants of the Vicious Beasts to replenish its own exhaustion.

However, how could Zu Long allow it to catch its breath?

A dragon roar shook the nine heavens. The Zu Long Pearl appeared and transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang water prison, trapping Tao Tie firmly.

Tao Tie struggled and roared, but eventually exhausted its strength and had to tear through the Void Realm to flee.

On another battlefield, the fight between Tao Wu and the First Qilin had reached a fever pitch.

Tao Wu's ferocious might was monstrous, each swing of its sharp claws able to tear the earth apart.

However, the First Qilin stepped on auspicious clouds, the Wutu Divine Light circulating around its body, with the Myriad Spirits Pilgrimage Great Array healing its wounds.

No matter how frantically Tao Wu attacked, it could never shake his defense.

Fighting to the end, Tao Wu was covered in blood, its Evil Qi dissipating. It finally let out an unwilling roar and turned to flee into the depths of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

The Vicious Beast army was completely defeated!

Hundreds of millions of Vicious Beasts wailed, retreating like a tide. They hissed and roared as if calling for something.

That sound converged into an invisible will, penetrating the Void Realm and reaching the deepest part of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains—the Beast God Palace!

Boom—!

In the depths of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, a pillar of light as black as ink shot into the sky, piercing the nine heavens!

The world suddenly darkened, the sun and moon lost their light, and all living spirits in the Primordial World held their breath at this moment.

The offensive of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races came to a screeching halt.

Zu Long circled in the sky, his dragon pupils suddenly shrinking.

The First Qilin stood on the ground, his expression solemn.

Yuan Feng slightly retracted her wings, the Nanmingli Fire burning silently.

Qing Wu gripped the sword in his hand. The sword blade hummed as if facing a great enemy.

The gazes of all living beings involuntarily turned toward the source of that light pillar—

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Heavy footsteps rang out. With every step, the earth trembled once, as if the entire Primordial World was bearing the pressure of some supreme existence.

Finally, a figure stepped through the Void Realm, walking slowly out of the darkness.

The moment he appeared, all the light in the world seemed to be swallowed by him.

He was clad in pitch-black battle armor, emblazoned with the phantom images of countless Vicious Beasts, as if carrying the will of the entire Vicious Beast race.

His face was blurred and unclear, with only a pair of crimson eyes, cold and heartless, looking down upon all living beings.

In his hand was a pitch-black long spear that could easily tear through all the Laws of the Primordial World.

Behind him, the World-Destroying Millstone ground away at time and space, bringing this world entirely under his control.

Beast Emperor Shen Ni has descended!

He looked down at the myriad spirits of the Primordial World, his eyes filled with nothing but disdain.

"My subjects have actually been slaughtered to this extent by you ants..."

In an instant, an indescribable pressure swept across the battlefield. Countless Cultivators of the myriad races with low cultivation exploded and died on the spot, blood mist filling the air!

Even the Grand Unity Golden Immortals felt as if they were carrying a divine mountain. Their bones creaked, and they almost knelt!

"Since you have come, then all of you shall stay."

Before his voice had even faded, he clenched his palm.

Rumble—!

The ground of the battlefield collapsed instantly. Countless Cultivators were crushed into bloody pulp before they could even let out a scream!

When the Beast Emperor is enraged, a million corpses lie prostrate!

As soon as Shen Ni appeared, he showed the living beings of the myriad races the terror of destruction.

Those eyes, pure to the point of ultimate slaughter, were impossible to look at directly.

The Alliance of Ten Thousand Races is in peril!

At this time, many Chaos Gods and Demons hidden among the living beings of the myriad races revealed themselves one after another, their Auras erupting.

Their purpose for coming here was Shen Ni. After waiting for so long, they had finally waited for the opponent to appear.

Yin and Yang Qi converged, the double-fish pattern rotating continuously. The Yin Yang Daoist appeared, carrying the supreme treasure, the taiji diagram.

Five-colored Qi circulated, the Five Elements divine light suddenly burst forth, and the Five Elements Daoist followed closely behind.

A willow branch swept past, green Daoist charm revealed itself, and ripples appeared in space. The figure of Yang Mei appeared from a spatial crack.

More figures appeared. Luo Hou, Qiong Tian, Qian Kun, and many other Gods and Demons appeared around Shen Ni.

Shen Ni scanned the many powerhouses, understanding that this battle was already unavoidable.

The Jade Butterfly of Creation hung down with the power of thousands of Laws, and the All Heavens Celebration Cloud revealed ten thousand zhang of magnificent light; Hongjun was the last to arrive.

"Fellow Daoists..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Shen Ni's ferocious eyes suddenly changed, and the God-Slaying Spear thrust out, attacking the last-arriving Hongjun.

The Evil Qi on the God-Slaying Spear was brought forth by the power of wind and thunder, its killing intent completely unconcealed.

Hongjun was startled to see himself become the target of Shen Ni's attack.

He immediately sacrificed the All Heavens Celebration Cloud to block.

The brilliance of the Celebration Cloud rippled out for hundreds of millions of miles, blocking most of the God-Slaying Spear's power.

But the tip of the spear still broke through the protection of the Celebration Cloud, knocking Hongjun back.
