60: Supernatural powers? I have them too.

"Hmph!" He let out a cold snort, his eyes filled with soaring Battle Intent. "This old man admits that I indeed underestimated you! But, you beast who knows neither respect nor etiquette, today, you shall be taught a lesson!"

As the words fell, he slammed his hand against the spirit beast pouch at his waist!

"Screech—!" A piercing, resonant eagle cry that could shatter gold and split stone rang through the sky!

A "Golden-Eyed Sky-Rending Sculpture" with a wingspan exceeding one hundred meters, covered entirely in golden feathers, and radiating the terrifying aura of a Third Order Late Stage beast, suddenly appeared!

The moment its sharp, sword-like golden eyes saw Mysterious Ink, they erupted with an extreme disdain and suppression stemming from the depths of its Bloodline—the feeling of an overlord of the sky looking down upon a ground-crawling insect!

"Attack!" Following Immortal Master Jinyun's command, the man and the sculpture simultaneously transformed into two streams of light, one from the left and one from the right, fiercely charging at Mysterious Ink!

Boom! Boom! Boom! An earth-shattering battle suddenly erupted!

The sea of clouds churned, and the Void Realm trembled!

However, the battle did not unfold as a one-sided crushing victory as Immortal Master Jinyun had imagined!

Facing the joint pincer attack from the man and the sculpture, Mysterious Ink not only showed no signs of falling behind, but instead fought with increasing vigor!

Every time his massive python body lashed out with its tail, it carried a terrifying power capable of changing the color of mountains and rivers!

Every time his indestructible scales withstood a blow, brilliant sparks of metal clashing erupted!

The more they fought, the more shocked Immortal Master Jinyun became!

He couldn't figure it out!

Why was this black snake so ridiculously strong?!

Although its cultivation was a notch higher than his own and that of his battle beast, his "Golden-Eyed Sky-Rending Sculpture" was a natural predator of snakes.

In terms of Bloodline, it should inherently exert absolute suppression!

This was the very reason why he dared to attack fiercely even after knowing Mysterious Ink was at the Third Tier Peak!

But now... even with him and his battle beast joining forces, and even possessing the advantage of Bloodline suppression, they were actually... actually slightly falling behind?!

"We cannot drag this out any longer!"

Unable to secure a victory after a long assault, a flash of ruthlessness crossed Immortal Master Jinyun's eyes!

He seized an opportunity, fiercely activating his Magic Treasure to desperately pin down Mysterious Ink's figure, while simultaneously roaring at his battle beast!

"Beast! Use your Divine Ability! For this old man... cripple it!"

"Screech—!"

Upon receiving the command, the Golden-Eyed Sky-Rending Sculpture let out a long cry toward the sky, filled with an aura of violence and destruction!

Suddenly, two extremely brilliant, sun-like orbs of light ignited within its golden eyes!

In the next second, two incredibly thick beams of golden Divine Ability light, containing the terrifying power to pierce through all things, shot out from its eyes.

They arrived before the target could react, accurately blasting toward Mysterious Ink, who was temporarily pinned down by Immortal Master Jinyun and unable to break free!

"Oh no!"

Seeing this scene, a sinister smile of certain victory finally appeared on Immortal Master Jinyun's face!

This was his battle beast's Innate Divine Ability—Void Tempering Divine Light!

Once this move was unleashed, it was invincible!

It was enough to easily pierce through the defense of any Third Tier Peak Demonic Beast!

This beast was doomed!

However, facing this fatal strike capable of severely injuring him, there was not a trace of panic in Mysterious Ink's cold snake eyes.

"A Divine Ability?"

He sneered in his heart.

"Who doesn't have one?"

Innate Divine Ability—Absolute Defense!

Activate!

A layer of dark, faint light, almost invisible to the naked eye and filled with an aura of profound mystery and immortality, flashed across his massive python body and vanished!

Under the incredulous gaze of Immortal Master Jinyun, those two golden beams of Divine Ability, capable of easily piercing through mountains, slammed fiercely onto Mysterious Ink's body!

However... the scene of shattered scales and flying flesh that he had imagined did not appear at all!

The moment those two world-destroying Divine Ability attacks made contact with Mysterious Ink's scales, they were like clay oxen entering the sea, failing to stir up even a ripple!

Let alone causing severe injury!

They didn't even manage to break a single scale on Mysterious Ink!

"..."

Immortal Master Jinyun was completely dumbfounded.

He stared blankly at the unscathed black giant python, then looked at his own equally bewildered battle beast...

His mind was left completely blank.

Above the sea of clouds, the look of disbelief and horror on Immortal Master Jinyun's face completely froze.

A Divine Ability!

His battle beast's Innate Divine Ability, which was capable of severely injuring any existence of the same rank, had actually... failed?!

And just at the moment when his mind was violently shaken and his brain was blank, the Golden-Eyed Sky-Rending Sculpture, which had just finished releasing its Divine Ability and was in a brief period of weakness, met its death sentence!

"Now is the time!"

Seizing this once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity, Mysterious Ink's massive, sky-covering snake tail, like a whip of death swung from the depths of the Nine Serenities, carried terrifying power capable of crushing everything as it fiercely lashed onto the Golden-Eyed Sky-Rending Sculpture's spine!

"Crack—!"

A teeth-aching sound of bones shattering rang through the sky!

"Screech—!!!"

The Golden-Eyed Sky-Rending Sculpture let out a wail filled with endless pain and misery.

Its massive body, as if struck head-on by a mountain, instantly lost all ability to fly and, like a kite with a broken string, fell powerlessly toward the sea of clouds below!

"No! My sculpture!"

Seeing this scene, Immortal Master Jinyun's heart shattered instantly!

He could clearly feel that while his battle beast still had a breath left, its spine was completely shattered, its Yao Beast core was broken, and it had already suffered irreversible, severe injuries!

Without three to five years of arduous effort, it would be impossible to recover!

In other words, for the next three to five years, his comprehensive combat power as a dignified Late Golden Core Stage Cultivator would be greatly diminished!

"Beast! You... how dare you strike such a vicious blow?!"

A surge of extreme anger and resentment instantly devoured all his reason!

His eyes bloodshot, he pointed at Mysterious Ink and shrieked in a shrill voice.

However, the response he received was Mysterious Ink's even more violent attack, filled with endless coldness!

"Noisy!"

"Bang!"

Mysterious Ink's figure instantly appeared before him!

His head, heavier than a mountain, like a siege hammer, slammed fiercely into the Protective Aura that Immortal Master Jinyun had hastily gathered!

The Protective Aura shattered!

Immortal Master Jinyun was struck as if by lightning, and blood sprayed wildly from his mouth!

But before he could steady himself, a black whip-like shadow already tore through the sky, arriving before he could react, and accurately lashed across his face!

"Slap!"

An extremely crisp, explosive sound!

Immortal Master Jinyun only felt his vision go black, and half of his cheek instantly lost all sensation!

Immediately following, accompanied by a wave of intense pain, his well-maintained teeth, mixed with blood, all flew out from his mouth!

When Immortal Master Jinyun, covered in blood, disheveled, and looking like a dead dog, was whipped to the ground by Mysterious Ink, he finally felt fear.
