332: Chapter 332 Ugly but with lofty ambitions!
...
Inside the Secret Realm.
After venting its emotions, the four-armed monster lowered its head.
Two scarlet eyes, like blood moons, locked directly onto the tiny Cao Kun and Yan Feiyue below.
However, its gaze lingered on Cao Kun for only half a breath before falling upon Yan Feiyue beside him.
The monster stuck out a scarlet tongue covered in barbs and licked the black drool flowing from the corners of its mouth.
"Hehehe, what a pure Soul!"
"Although it's a bit weak, it's just right as an appetizer for this Venerable One's rebirth!"
It stared greedily at Yan Feiyue's translucent, graceful remnant Soul.
Its four massive arms waved excitedly, stirring up gusts of foul wind.
Locked by that Mahayana Peak pressure, Yan Feiyue felt as if her Soul had fallen into an ice cellar; even her thoughts became sluggish.
She was merely a remnant Soul; facing such an ancient, ferocious beast, she had absolutely no power to resist.
However, just as she fell into despair.
A warm, powerful hand gently pressed onto her shoulder.
Cao Kun pulled Yan Feiyue behind him and looked up at the drooling, ugly monster.
He snorted coldly in annoyance.
"Hey, are you blind?"
"A living person as big as this Young Master is standing right here; do you think I don't exist?"
Yan Feiyue stared blankly at Cao Kun's broad, upright back.
Even when facing an ancient monster with strength at the Mahayana Peak and a size like a mountain.
He remained so calm and composed.
The Young Master is truly completely different from that coward Xiao Chen!
If it were that trash, upon encountering such danger, he would have likely pushed her out as a meat shield long ago to trade for a chance to save his own life, right?
Yet, the Young Master stepped forward for the sake of her, a mere remnant Soul.
I truly haven't followed the wrong person this time!
Such a sense of security!
Even if I were to die in battle here with the Young Master today, Feiyue would be willing!
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Just then, light flickered at the entrance of the Secret Realm.
Palace Master Luo Qingyi rushed into the Secret Realm with the Grand Elder and dozens of other high-level members of Taiqing Palace.
However, when they saw the hundreds-of-zhang-tall monster exuding monstrous Devilish Qi.
Deep despair flashed in everyone's eyes.
Although that monster had just been unsealed and its strength had not fully recovered.
The aura it was emitting at this moment had already reached the Mahayana Peak!
Although their Taiqing Palace was a top-tier Daoist tradition in the Central Plains.
Before an ancient, ferocious beast of this level, they were as weak as children.
The monster's two blood-moon-like eyes rolled, looking at the group that had just arrived.
Its four arms waved simultaneously, even more excited.
"Hahahaha!"
"What pure primordial yin! It is truly Heaven helping me!"
"Having been suppressed by that broken sword for so long, this Venerable One hasn't tasted tender flesh in ages!"
"Today, all of you shall become blood food for this Venerable One to recast my Devilish body!"
Palace Master Luo Qingyi knew that escape was impossible and that the destruction of the Sect was a foregone conclusion.
If it were allowed to leave the Secret Realm, the entire Central Plains would be plunged into misery.
She looked down at Cao Kun with a tragic gaze.
Cao Kun is the Son of the Plane, bearing the great Luck of the Lower Realm, and possesses endless means.
Perhaps he could take the Disciples of the palace and escape!
"Young Master Cao!"
Palace Master Luo Qingyi shouted with all her spiritual power.
"This monster's strength is too terrifying; it cannot be defeated by human power!"
"As Elders of Taiqing Palace, today we can only fight to the death for the Sect!"
"I am willing to fight to the death to delay it for three breaths for you. I beg you, based on the favor of today, to take some of our Sect's elite Disciples and escape this place, preserving the last spark of Taiqing Palace!"
After speaking, spiritual power boiled around Palace Master Luo Qingyi; she was actually planning to burn her Mahayana Early Stage Origin to perish together with the monster.
The Grand Elder and others also had reddened eyes, raising their long swords, preparing to meet their deaths.
"Run?"
Amidst the tear-jerking atmosphere of life and death separation.
A voice with a hint of playfulness sounded abruptly.
"There is no need for that."
Cao Kun sneered and held the seven-foot-long chaos divine sword in his hand level in front of him.
The sword tip pointed directly at the mountain-like monster.
"I happen to feel an itch in my hands and want to test just how sharp this sword is now that it's been repaired."
"It's just a lump of expired, rotten meat that's been sitting for ten thousand years; how dare you yell in front of this Young Master?"
The monster's footsteps paused.
It used its not-so-developed brain capacity to struggle to digest Cao Kun's words.
Subsequently, it was thoroughly enraged by Cao Kun's continuous mockery.
"Ant! You are courting death!!!"
It roared, no longer paying attention to Palace Master Luo Qingyi and the others.
It directly swung one of its massive arms, which was entwined with Death Qi and corrosive Law.
Just like swatting a fly, it smashed down fiercely toward the top of Cao Kun's head!
"Young Master, be careful!" Yan Feiyue was so frightened that her face paled.
Palace Master Luo Qingyi also closed her eyes in despair.
She could not bear to see the tragic sight of Cao Kun being smashed into meat paste.
"One Sword Determines Life and Death!"
Cao Kun flicked his wrist.
He casually flicked upward.
"Swish!"
A faint black line flashed and vanished in mid-air.
Immediately after.
"Puchi!"
A large amount of black devilish blood gushed out from mid-air!
That incomparably huge arm was actually sliced off cleanly at the wrist!
The severed arm crashed to the ground, shaking the entire Secret Realm violently.
"Aoooo!"
After being stunned for half a second, the monster let out a miserable howl.
It clutched its severed arm, stumbling backward; for the first time, a look of terror appeared in those scarlet eyes.
It attempted to mobilize the Origin power within its body to regrow its arm.
But it was all too late.
At the wound, a layer of gray Law power that could not be expelled lingered!
It was too familiar with that power.
Not only did it prevent its Physical Body from healing, but it was also constantly devouring and obliterating its vitality!
"This damned Law... this is..."
The monster looked at the seven-foot-long sword in Cao Kun's hand that was emitting a dark, ghostly light.
"It is... it is the sword of that supreme existence!"
It finally remembered!
Back then at the edge of the Boundary Sea, it was just an insignificant little nobody passing by to watch the excitement.
Just because it had glanced from afar at the peerless demeanor of that supreme Emperor.
It had been suppressed in this godforsaken place for ten thousand epochs by a tiny fragment of the sword blade that had flown off!
That was a nightmare engraved deep within its Divine Soul, one that could never be erased for all eternity!
"Good!"
The monster's Devilish Qi surged, and its remaining three arms clenched into fists simultaneously.
"Since you are related to that old fellow and hold this vicious sword in your hand..."
"Then today, new feuds and old grudges, this Venerable One will settle with you..."
Everyone, including Palace Master Luo Qingyi and Yan Feiyue.
All thought that this ancient, ferocious beast was about to launch a desperate counterattack.
However.
Halfway through its roar, it actually used its remaining three hands to tear open a spatial rift behind it.
It scrambled to crawl inside.
At the same time, it smoothly finished the second half of the sentence:
"...will be written off! Enjoy yourself, Great Master! Sorry to bother you, farewell!!!"
