233: Unkillable, the Primal Beast

The monster came to life.

The splattering black blood and broken flesh seemed to have an independent life, wriggling frantically and then restructuring.

In the blink of an eye, that hideous, misshapen body was once again intact.

It shook its newly formed head, spat out its scarlet bifurcated long tongue, and made a terrifying sound.

“Hiss—!”

The long tongue was like a venomous python emerging from its hole, suddenly shooting out and weirdly splitting in mid-air, constantly multiplying!

One became two, two became four... in an instant, thousands of slimy scarlet tongues, like blood-colored vines growing wildly, swept towards the Prodigies, blotting out the sky!

“Roar! Not a single one shall escape!”

The monster's mental roar exploded in everyone's mind.

“Get lost!”

A God King Realm Prodigy shouted, manifesting a Blazing Divine Wheel. It spun and sliced, cutting off dozens of tongues attacking him.

The severed tongue segments fell to the ground but did not die; instead, they wriggled violently like earthworms, suddenly sprang up, and shot toward other nearby Cultivators at an even faster speed!

“Ah—!”

A Heavenly God Realm Cultivator failed to dodge and was entangled by several severed tongues around his ankles, instantly dragged down.

More tongues swarmed over, wrapping him into a blood cocoon.

“Ahhh!”

A shrill scream rang out, the blood cocoon shriveled up, and only a pile of black ash remained in its place.

That Cultivator's flesh and blood, along with his Divine Soul, had been swallowed whole in an instant!

Qin Wushang's brow furrowed.

His eyes turned cold, the faint light in his Double Pupils flowed, the Intent of Destruction condensed, and a beam of light shot out from his pupils.

“Heaven-Opening Giant Axe.”

A condensed axe-shaped pupil light swept out, splitting the tide of tongues surging from his direction in two, as severed tongues fell like rain.

But even more tongues continued to charge forward.

“Troublesome,”

Qin Wushang whispered, his figure disappearing.

In the next instant, he appeared directly in front of the restructured monster, his right fist pulled back, his blood and Qi roaring.

“Two-hundred-fold Kaioken!”

“Boom!”

Fist light surged violently as the massive fist print smashed into the monster's newly formed head.

Terrifying power erupted, and the hideous head exploded again like a watermelon, with black blood and bone fragments flying everywhere.

But almost at the same moment the head shattered, the monster's sharp front claws tore through space and clawed fiercely at Qin Wushang's chest, its speed absurdly fast.

“Screech!”

The sharp claws swept across, leaving three wounds on Qin Wushang's solid chest with edges emitting a strange black Qi.

What shocked him even more was a strong suction force coming from the wounds.

More than half of his blood and Qi vanished in an instant!

“Get off!”

Qin Wushang shouted, his blood and Qi vibrating violently to shake off the claws while simultaneously pulling back dozens of feet from the monster.

He looked down at the blackening wounds on his chest, his expression grave.

“Devouring blood and Qi... what on earth is this thing?”

“Hiss~ Little man...”

At the monster's shattered head, black blood churned, and half of the charming face belonging to the previous woman actually condensed again.

“Be good and merge with me... I will take you to witness eternal immortality...”

Qin Wushang's Double Pupils locked onto the monster.

To his surprise, he discovered that within the monster's repeatedly exploded body, he couldn't perceive any fluctuations of a Primordial Spirit or Divine Soul!

At the core of its head, there was only a mass of wriggling pitch-black energy, like a living shadow.

It seemed that was the source driving this bizarre body.

At this moment, the monster was in no hurry to attack; those thousands of scarlet tongues continued to grow frantically, spreading out like a blood-colored forest, attempting to turn this area completely into its hunting ground.

Wherever the tongues passed, even the rocks were corroded into pits, and the Spiritual Qi was quickly drained.

“Ahhh! Big brother! Save me!!”

A young Cultivator whose thigh was entangled by several tongues screamed in terror; his crotch instantly became wet, and foul-smelling urine mixed with black mucus flowed all over the ground.

In the distance, his companion's face turned green with fear. While frantically swinging his sword to cut the incoming tongues, he roared.

“Save you? Fat chance! Every man for himself!”

“Weren't you looking for excitement?”

“Let it lick you all it wants, I guarantee you'll be comfortable to death!”

“I'm out of here!!”

After saying that, he activated a precious Divine Evasion Talisman, turning into a stream of light and rushing toward the outskirts of the ruins without looking back.

Qin Wushang struck again.

The crimson blood blade was unsheathed, its blade light like a blood moon across the sky.

“Thunder Half-Moon Slash!”

“ Boom！”

The monster, along with the vast tide of its spreading tongues, was shattered into pieces by a single strike.

But in just a breath, it was reborn.

“Roar!”

It let out an excited roar, its aura seemingly a bit stronger than before.

Qin Wushang's blade light did not stop, repeatedly slashing it to pieces, splitting it open, and grinding it into mincemeat.

But every destruction meant an even faster Rebirth next time.

That core mass of pitch-black energy seemed immortal; ordinary attacks had very little effect on it.

Too bizarre!

This completely defied common sense.

“Boom!”

Just as the monster condensed once more and roared as it lunged forward, a sudden change occurred!

A brilliant and blazing terrifying thunderbolt, like the Nine Heavens' Milky Way pouring down, tore through the sky and struck down violently, centered on Qin Wushang and the monster!

Following closely behind was a sea of thunderstorms that connected heaven and earth!

“Rumble!”

With Qin Wushang's position as the center, the surrounding hundreds of miles were instantly transformed into a devastating lightning hell!

Endless purple-gold heavenly thunder, like rampaging Dragons, raged frantically, destroying everything!

A cold and peerless figure in plain white robes pierced through the sea of lightning and landed lightly beside Qin Wushang.

It was Mu Bingyun, who was Undergoing Tribulation.

Her aura was now majestic, with faint lightning flashing in her icy eyes, making her appear even more sacred and awe-inspiring.

The terrifying tribulation lightning also washed over Qin Wushang, bringing waves of numbness.

Mu Bingyun didn't even look at the wound on Qin Wushang's chest; her ice-blue eyes were locked onto the figure struggling in the sea of lightning.

“Roar!”

It let out a roar, as if in fear.

Mu Bingyun raised her hand and struck with her sword, channeling the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation to pierce through its pitch-black body.

“This is an Origin Beast.”

“Ordinary Divine Power is merely nourishment to it. Your attacks are actually helping it grow stronger.”

“Only the lightning punishment of the Heavenly Tribulation, or the power of the Origin containing the Dao, can truly obliterate it and destroy the Origin Core.”

Before she could finish, the pitch-black Origin Beast had disappeared.

Mu Bingyun raised her hand to sheathe her sword and turned to look at Qin Wushang, her gaze falling on the three wounds on his chest, her icy brows furrowing slightly.

“You... have been infected!”
