438: Chapter 438 Junior Brother, You're Amazing!

"Gol、Golden Immortal Realm, Ninth Layer!!"

The Red Giant Wolf sensed Pei Yuening's cultivation realm, and instantly, all arrogance vanished from its eyes, replaced only by terror and fury. It immediately let out a roar: "Brothers, save me—"

As its voice fell.

Within the great mountains, four tyrannical and terrifying auras of the Golden Immortal Realm awakened simultaneously, shaking the heavens and the earth!

A black bear clad in iron armor, wielding a large white-bone club, saw its already burly figure instantly swell to a thousand feet tall. It stood towering and majestic, casting a massive shadow upon the ground.

A piercing cry that could split gold and crack stone rang out, and a black Night Owl flapped its wings and surged forth. Its head, however, was that of a human, appearing extremely bizarre and chilling.

Another Golden Immortal Realm aura spread continuously underground, reaching behind Pei Yuening in the blink of an eye. It remained hidden, waiting to strike, blocking her retreat.

The most terrifying of all was a Ghost-Bone Giant Python over several thousand feet long coiled atop the mountain peak. Its body was covered in pale white bone armor and barbs, accompanied by wisps of flickering, ghostly blue flames, giving it a hideous and terrifying appearance.

Not only that.

The surrounding mountains shook, and dense swarms of Yao Beasts surged out, letting out low, terrifying roars that rose and fell in succession, surrounding Pei Yuening from afar.

Facing such a terrifying army of Yao Beasts, even those with Half-step Immortal Monarch Realm cultivation would likely have to temporarily avoid their sharp edge.

Yet, Pei Yuening remained completely unafraid.

Her bright red long dress fluttered in the wind, and her cold, elegant face remained composed. The lightning around her grew increasingly turbulent and violent, causing the heavens and earth to resonate as vast black clouds gathered continuously!

Hiss!!

The Ghost-Bone Giant Python struck first, opening its mouth to spew a beam of ghostly blue flame breath toward Pei Yuening. Far from being hot, it emitted a chilling aura that made one shudder. It was incomparably cold and eerie, causing the temperature between heaven and earth to plummet!

Its cultivation was also at the Ninth Layer of the Golden Immortal Realm, no weaker than Pei Yuening's!

Pei Yuening raised her hand and summoned a lightning pagoda, directly calling down the Heavenly Tribulation lightning of the Nine Heavens. One after another, bucket-thick bolts of tribulation lightning crashed down, as if she were Undergoing Tribulation.

The magnificent Heavenly Might descended, causing all the surrounding Yao to feel a palpitation of the heart!

There are thousands of Immortal Dao Divine Ability techniques, but lightning is undoubtedly one of the most lethal methods. Being supremely Yang and rigid, it was perfectly suited to suppress the Ghost-Bone Giant Python's nether evil fire!

Accompanied by deafening rumbles of thunder echoing one after another, the flame breath spewed by the Ghost-Bone Giant Python was directly annihilated by the lightning. Some of the lightning even struck the Ghost-Bone Giant Python, causing its massive body to shudder.

But this only incited the Ghost-Bone Giant Python's ferocity. It leaped down directly from the mountain peak, its body surging with evil fire, bone spikes looking hideous, as it charged over while carrying monstrous Demonic Qi.

The four surrounding great Yao of the Golden Immortal Realm also attacked, assisting the Ghost-Bone Giant Python in pinning down Pei Yuening.

An incredibly intense Golden Immortal battle broke out right then and there.

"This round is secure."

Ji Taichang observed carefully for a while, the corners of his mouth slightly curling upward.

The battle situation appeared unfavorable for Pei Yuening; she was firmly pinned down by five great Yao and had fallen into a disadvantage.

Yet, Pei Yuening's strongest trump card remained hidden. It seemed she intended to activate the bronze ancient palace for a surprise attack at the critical moment, aiming to take down the strongest Ghost-Bone Giant Python in one fell swoop.

Hum—

Ji Taichang quietly activated his Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes with full force. The Ghost-Bone Giant Python's massive body became incomparably clear in Ji Taichang's eyes, gradually becoming transparent.

It was attacking with all its might, its demonic power surging and churning within, and its flow paths became clear.

"Revered Master, the Ghost-Bone Giant Python's weak point is in the gap between the third and fourth bone plates of its abdomen, and also ten feet below the single horn on its head..."

Ji Taichang immediately transmitted his voice to Pei Yuening, revealing the weak points of the Ghost-Bone Giant Python.

As long as they could defeat the Ghost-Bone Giant Python, the remaining few great Yao of the Golden Immortal Realm would be nothing to fear.

Swish!!

Just then, the Ghost-Bone Giant Python felt its body chill. In the dark, it felt as though a gaze was peeping at it, as if it had been probed inside and out.

It immediately followed that feeling and stared directly at the mountain peak where Ji Taichang was hiding!

"Awoo—"

It raised its head and let out a roar. The army of Yao Beasts that had been watching covetously from afar immediately went into a frenzy, and thousands upon thousands of Yao Beasts rushed from all directions toward the mountain peak where Ji Taichang was located!

"Oh no! We've been discovered!!"

Yun Zhi was startled, immediately jumping onto Ji Taichang's shoulder. She raised her hand and gripped a gilded thunder-patterned bronze mace, her pretty face extremely grave.

Even Yao Yao, who had previously declared that she would cover the two of them, now had a drop of cold sweat dripping down her forehead.

Because among these thousands upon thousands of Yao Beasts, there were over twenty in the Mystic Immortal Realm, three of which were above the Fifth Layer of the Mystic Immortal Realm. This was not something her current cultivation could contend with.

"Senior Sister, kill our way out in this direction!"

Ji Taichang quickly scanned the circle of Yao Beasts. Immortal light flashed in his eyes, and he instantly deduced the escape route with the least pressure!

"Alright!"

Yao Yao also reacted. Lightning flickered beneath her feet, and she grabbed Ji Taichang's hand, instantly turning into a streak of white light. Taking advantage of the moment before the encirclement was fully formed, she charged directly into the group of Yao Beasts.

She raised her hand and summoned a one-zhang-long battle halberd, swinging it with great force. White light intertwined with electric sparks, and the aura of slaughter was terrifying. Large swaths of surrounding Yao Beasts were hacked into pieces; even ordinary Mystic Immortal Realm experts were not a match for her in a single exchange.

But there were still too many Yao Beasts surrounding them.

A Yao Beast shaped like a tiger-leopard but covered in dark cyan scales charged over like the wind. It swiped a claw against the battle halberd, producing a thunderous explosion that shook Yao Yao, forcing her to retreat five or six steps, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

"Seventh Layer of the Mystic Immortal Realm!"

Yun Zhi's expression changed drastically, filled with nervousness and worry.

Yao Yao's combat power was very strong, but her cultivation was, after all, only at the Second Layer of the Mystic Immortal Realm. Being able to fight above her level against the Fourth or Fifth Layer of the Mystic Immortal Realm was already her limit; it was simply impossible for her to be a match for a Seventh Layer Mystic Immortal Realm Yao Beast!

Even more terrifying was this:

If Yao Yao were dragged down by this Yao Beast, the other Mystic Immortal Realm Yao Beasts would quickly surround them, and at that point, all three of them would be in mortal danger!

The Yao Beast let out a low roar, rolling with Evil Qi, and charged toward Yao Yao once again!

At this critical, hair-trigger moment, Ji Taichang let out a low shout. He activated his Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes with full force, and a mysterious and astonishing ripple spread out, actually briefly imprisoning that Yao Beast in place!

"Senior Sister, attack its glabella!"

Ji Taichang spoke quickly!

Yao Yao's reaction speed was fast. With a loud shout, she swung the battle halberd with both hands, her entire body transforming into a beam of white light. With surging, astonishing immortal power, she hacked fiercely at the glabella of that Yao Beast.

Although that Yao Beast was covered in scales all over its body, the scales on its glabella were the most fragile. They shattered at a single blow, and the tyrannical and terrifying power instantly pulverized its skull, shattering the Yao Beast's Sea of Consciousness into pieces. It let out a shrill scream, suffering heavy injuries!

Having succeeded in one blow, Yao Yao was extremely excited: "Junior Brother, your pupil technique is so amazing! With the two of us joining forces, we're guaranteed to slaughter everything!"

Yun Zhi also nodded: "The three of us are truly amazing!"
