Chapter 822: Chapter 546: Ferocious Ancient Creature
The Blood Vine Demon Emperor revealed a look of madness.
She accidentally discovered this planet, and during her exploration, she saw this Bronze Giant Coffin at the core of the earth.
This was her exclusive secret.
She had checked the information and believed that the coffin contained some kind of unknown Great Wilderness ancient fierce beast. It emitted a strong Dragon Power, possibly of the Dragon Clan, but not from the two major True Spirit races of True Dragon Heavenly Phoenix. It might be from some other branch races.
No matter what Dragon Clan it belonged to.
Anyway, it was very strong. Fierce beasts, as long as they were related to dragons or phoenixes, would be "Dragons or Phoenixes among Beasts," and in the same Realm, their combat power would be among the upper-middle tier.
As for why this Dragon Clan appeared here.
She also did not know.
The Ancient Divine War affected the entire Universe, endless dimensions, large and small battlefields, like stars in the sky.
Even the Witch Master, as the commander-in-chief, couldn’t know all the battlefield information and could only control it from the big picture.
Yet the Blood Vine was basically certain.
This Dragon Clan was a fierce beast, orderly chaos, otherwise, it wouldn’t be imprisoned by the Great Wilderness’s Array in this Starry Sky.
So if it could be awakened.
She might die.
Lu Chenzhou wouldn’t survive either.
With a wave of her hand, countless prepared blood and flesh of humans, demons, and mutant beasts flew out from her storage space.
"Awaken!"
The Blood Sea immersed the ancient coffin and was instantly absorbed by the Heart, bones grew white flesh, and a giant beast with a tiger head, snake body, and Dragon Claws solidified its form, and it opened its violent yet bewildered golden eyes.
The giant beast stared at the Blood Vine Demon Emperor, its terrifying aura causing her mind to stall, leaving her stunned in place.
After a moment of bewilderment.
The giant beast climbed out of the Bronze Ancient Coffin, and the chains all over its body tightened instantly, making a harsh friction sound.
The giant beast extended a paw, furry and resembling both a dragon and a tiger, instinctively grabbing the Blood Vine Demon Emperor in its palm.
The Blood Vine clone was absorbed by it, turning into blood water.
The giant beast’s eyes reflected a white-robe figure.
Its nose twitched, sniffing.
"Such delicious blood and flesh, and there’s even a trace of Dragon Clan’s aura, it might help me recover a little strength."
The giant beast spoke in some ancient language.
Outside.
"You Tong, run!"
The Blood Vine Demon Emperor’s main body changed its expression drastically.
She flew into outer space in an instant.
"Damn, what’s your trump card?"
You Tong ran in the opposite direction, his body instinctively trembling, and the planet beneath him was harboring a great horror awakening.
Even Lu Chenzhou got goosebumps, a chilling sensation igniting like an oil pot in an instant.
Even when facing a Demon Venerable, he wasn’t panicked.
"What’s beneath the planet?"
With a thought, he intended to escape into the Void.
Whatever it was, he would leave the Xia Realm first.
However, a force locked onto him from afar. The planet cracked like an eggshell, the crust shattered and erupted, and a massive beast with a body length of hundreds of miles, tiger head and dragon body, emerged. It extended its claw, attacking Lu Chenzhou.
Buzz!
Buzz!
Buzz!
Three streams of light shot off.
They were Canglang Song, Shooting Willow Whip, and Shocking Heart Needle, three Spiritual Weapons simultaneously releasing their strongest power to protect the master.
The beast’s claw lightly swatted, flicking the Long Spear away, releasing the whip, and bouncing the needle off, causing Lu Chenzhou’s heart to tense up. This beast’s strength was definitely not something an ordinary Demon Venerable could compare to.
Senior brother was right.
There was indeed a secret within the Starry Sky.
However, he was not panicked either. The Spiritual Weapons broke the blockade for him, and he quickly flew out of the planet at nine hundred times the speed of sound, reaching a thousand miles away in a breath, transforming into lightning and escaping.
The giant beast opened its mouth wide, and a stream-like breath flowed smoothly, spanning across the Starry Sky, its end transforming into a large hand, quickly catching up to Lu Chenzhou.
"Sunrise!" The Great Sun rose in the Starry Sky, cracking the large hand and delaying it for a moment.
At the same time, Lu Chenzhou’s momentum surged to its peak, and he decisively self-exploded, scattering his fragments across a thousand-mile radius. Each fragment transformed into a Little Lu Chenzhou, scattering in all directions.
The large hand swept, catching most pieces but still missing some that slipped through the fingers, fleeing into the darkness. Simultaneously, a flash of Aurora lit up as a palace broke through endless meteors, disappearing at sub-light speed into deep space.
This set of maneuvers was like flowing water.
The flowing water hand opened, and those caught pieces of blood and flesh instantly lost their spirituality, turning into blood mist and merging into the void.
"An Undying Body?"
"Quite some skill." The giant beast showed a rather human-like mischievous expression, like a cat more interested when it got toyed with by a mouse.
It roamed the Great Wilderness, and although just awakened and unclear of the situation, its strength was far from its peak, but handling a Heavenly Realm was not a problem. Yet that human insect with a trace of Dragon Clan’s aura inside managed to evade its attack twice, and with three Protecting Dao Spiritual Weapons.
Ultimately, it failed.
Clatter—
Tens of thousands of chains at the planet’s core tightened, and no sooner had the giant beast flown ten thousand miles from the planet, it was dragged back.
The planet erupted with the ultimate light, a faint shadow of an Ancient Book flipped rapidly in an instant, and each turn released runes flying out.
In the Starry Sky, a silver-white-robed, white-haired elder of immense height had appeared at some point.
He held the Ancient Book expressionlessly.
Quickly, the shocking phenomenon faded.
The giant beast crashed hard onto the planet’s surface.
Its form constantly shrank, eventually becoming a mysterious-robed youth with a mark of a king on his forehead and dragon horns on his head.
The youth’s expression was cold.
"Heh, that old bastard Ten Thousand Ming Dharma Master, even dead, still traps me in this godforsaken Starry Sky World, saying I would regain freedom if I kill enough three hundred billion of the Demon Race, but I’ve reached the count, so then... You’ve gone to the Nine Springs, who else can undo this Great Array for me?"
...
In a part of the starry sky.
Blood Vine Demon Emperor and You Tong Demon Venerable gathered together.
At this moment, the two demons were still in shock.
You Tong Demon Venerable cursed.
"Damn it, almost got me killed."
Blood Vine Demon Emperor sneered coldly:
"Didn’t die, did you? If it weren’t for me, could you have escaped from Lu Chenzhou? His strength is progressing too quickly. Luckily I have a trump card, otherwise, we’d all be done for."
"Lu Chenzhou should be dead this time, right?"
"That fierce beast was probably at the Demon Saint Level when it was alive, possibly approaching a Demon God. Lu Chenzhou is doomed this time."
"Maybe... Under normal circumstances, most Demon Venerables in such situations are facing nine deaths and one life. But Lu Chenzhou is rumored to have an undying body."
You Tong Demon Venerable felt uncertain.
But Blood Vine Demon Emperor said:
"Where in the world is there a truly undying body? The Demon Race is full of talents, with Heavenly Realm as common as clouds, but most of them are merely [Pseudo Undying Bodies]. Only a part of the uniquely gifted Demon Venerables can truly be undying! The kind of flesh regeneration Lu Chenzhou has might allow him to escape from some Demon Venerables, but it’s useless in the face of that fierce beast.
You should be thankful that the fierce beast is not interested in our flesh, otherwise we’d have been turned into blood long ago."
Blood Vine contacted the Eye of Truth.
The projection of the Blood Ancient God appeared.
"Did you save You Tong?"
"Yes."
"What about Lu Chenzhou?"
"Most likely dead..."
Blood Vine showed a face eager for merit, revealing his plan to the Blood Ancient God, waiting for divine praise.
The Blood Ancient God frowned.
"Such a big matter, and you’re only telling me now?"
"My lord, it’s not too late now, is it?"
Blood Vine Demon Emperor’s heart sank.
In the end, the Blood Ancient God said indifferently: "Blood Vine, in the future, don’t act clever. You two quickly leave to prevent Lu Chenzhou from coming. Rest assured, if it’s confirmed that Lu Chenzhou is dead, your merit won’t be lacking."
Blood Vine Demon Emperor immediately knelt in gratitude.
The two demons turned into a rainbow and left.
...
The Eye of Truth.
The Witch Master’s eyes sparkled with grandeur.
"A suspected Eight Realms Fierce Beast? Hahaha, heaven indeed helps me. If it can be controlled, there’s no need for Red Lotus to take action, sweeping this world and how would the Eternal Immortal at the Outer Boundary feel? The starry sky of the Xia Realm is indeed filled with many hidden secrets, just too vast to develop."
Mother Forget Sorrow said:
"Now Lu Chenzhou should be dead, right?"
The Witch Master shook his head.
"Without seeing his soul scatter with my own eyes, don’t make hasty conclusions. Lord Toad, let You Tong probe through causality again. I suspect Lu Chenzhou might have cultivated [True Undying Body]. If that’s the case, before the Demigod awakens, there’s little hope of killing Lu Chenzhou."
Demigod, this is a huge hurdle.
Not just undying bodies, even ordinary undying bodies can be destroyed if the Demigod takes action. Demigods have already begun to control the rules of the Dao, overlooking the multitude like high-dimensional beings, a strike from a Demigod can decompose the body of a Demon Saint into dust particles, scattering the soul.
No possibility of rebirth.
...
"My lord, still need to probe causality?"
You Tong Demon Venerable looked troubled.
"Yes, the Witch suspects Lu Chenzhou is not dead."
Lord Toad stood with arms crossed.
Blood Vine Demon Emperor said: "Impossible, right? Even if Lu Chenzhou has the Aurora Palace, using the treasure itself requires time, that fierce beast can kill him with a single casual blow."
If the fierce beast can’t even kill Lu Chenzhou.
Who can kill him before All Gods appear?
"My lord, my current realm is unstable. Further probing of the strong’s causality, I worry about backlash that might lower my realm."
You Tong was a bit unwilling.
"The Witch said that if your realm drops, it will grant you treasures to help you ascend back, don’t worry."
"Alright then."
You Tong muttered incantations, looking toward causality.
Moments later, its pupils shook.
"Lu Chenzhou...is still alive."
Blood Vine’s heart was trembling.
"How can this be? Is there any justice in heaven?"
...
The Eye of Truth.
"I knew he wasn’t dead." The Witch wasn’t surprised at all, "It’s not important now, leave Lu Chenzhou alone for the time being. When Wangyue Demon Saint appears, then we can curse him. Next, we have to figure out how to manipulate that fierce beast. This way, even leaving the Xia Realm, we can surprise All Nations."
...
Running out for a million miles.
Inside the Aurora Palace, Lu Chenzhou sat cross-legged in meditation.
In the Inner Scenery Land, he was in communication with the Artifact Spirits.
The Fox Woman said:
[Master is indeed formidable. That fierce beast was a Tiger Jiao that gained the Dao, belonging to the Dragon Clan. Though the Dragon Clan is filled with strong individuals, not many can achieve the fierce beast’s strength. This one likely has quite a reputation in the Great Wilderness. How has it survived until now?]
Qiang Erniang said:
[Many alien species have talents that can extend life, like Mr. Turtle, who can age freeze through hibernation. Perhaps this fierce beast is the same, the Dragon Clan is too mysterious.]
Lu Chenzhou pondered.
"Tiger Jiao, huh? This creature seems very interested in me. Could it be that I’ve consumed Dragon Blood Treasure Fruit before, and possess a True Dragon aura within? Many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are formed by coincidences after ancient existences fall, it’s very possible."
