"You're the mooncake!"
Ziyue the Great, a legendary creature, naturally became enraged at such contempt.
However, upon hearing the opponent's chuunibyo moniker, it froze.
"Invincible Big Cat God?"
Its mind trembled, and fragmented memories surged, as if recalling the other's identity.
"You're the cat by that old ghost's side?!"
"Rude!"
The little cat pouted, its body once again emitting a yellow aura.
A terrifying gravity swept forth, and Ziyue the Great instinctively let out a mournful cry.
Its massive body was forcibly compressed, as if subjected to an unstoppable, terrifying force.
"You're still alive..."
Ziyue the Great roared, the intense pain compelling it to counterattack. It instantly spat out a brilliant purple beam of light, shooting towards the little cat.
But the moment it appeared, the beam was affected by the gravity field, plummeted downwards, and shattered into pieces.
"Still dare to resist?"
The little cat licked its paw, its internal power surging once more.
For an instant, it was as if an invisible giant hand was relentlessly kneading Ziyue's body.
At the same time, specks of blue light appeared within the little cat, followed by the emergence of a soul contract spirit resembling an elderly human!
"Another legendary contract spirit?!"
Ziyue the Great's mind trembled, sensing the threat of death.
The opponent had come specifically to kill it!
"Die!"
At this moment, a terrifying soul storm instantly appeared, forcibly pulling at Ziyue the Great's soul.
"The fierce beast is defeated?!"
Ziyue the Great's mind throbbed with pain, its consciousness becoming slightly chaotic again.
It could not fathom that humans had infiltrated the fierce beasts' rear!
At this time, the old man's legendary contract spirit, with a cold expression, continuously unleashed various killing moves, eroding Ziyue the Great's vitality.
One targeted the body, the other the soul, complementing each other.
Let alone the enfeebled Ziyue the Great, even in its peak state, it might not have been able to withstand this.
In just an hour,
Ziyue the Great was on the verge of death, spitting out venomously:
"You want my corpse, don't you?"
The next second, the purple light emanating from its body dimmed and even began to dissipate, clearly preparing for self-destruction.
However, the legendary soul spirit's mind stirred, directly invading the opponent's mind and thwarting its action.
Ziyue the Great's intention of self-destruction was completely extinguished.
With a roar of unwillingness, Ziyue the Great's life force completely vanished, its demise sealed.
The reason for dispatching the legendary soul spirit, besides aiding in combat, was primarily to preserve Ziyue the Great's corpse.
"It took quite some time."
The little cat pouted, looking at the still purple light below, which was Ziyue's corpse.
It opened its mouth and swallowed the purple light before it.
"Done!"
The little cat merged with the legendary soul spirit beside it and silently left the demon's lair.
The demon's lair was now eerily deserted.
Not only was the Dragon Lizard absent, but all other high-level fierce beasts had evacuated, leaving only the old and infirm.
Even if they learned of Ziyue's demise, it would take time to relay the message to the Dragon Lizard.
And in that time, humanity had gained a significant advantage!
No one could have imagined that at such a critical juncture, the old man would dispatch two legendary contract spirits to directly raid their stronghold!
Meanwhile, the ten Beast Emperors near the battlefield were still on high alert...
...
In China's central command center,
The old man was leisurely sipping his tea, murmuring:
"It seems that thing's injuries haven't recovered, and time is moving faster than I anticipated..."
At this moment, his mind stirred, and a subtle anomaly seemed to appear in the heavens and earth, with faint phantoms about to materialize.
"Disperse!"
His eyes narrowed, forcefully ending the world announcement of a legendary creature's demise.
If word got out, the Beast Emperors would learn of his actions. With both contract spirits yet to return, it was best to remain cautious.
"Kid, now, it's up to you..."
At this moment, the old man smiled faintly, looking towards the distant southern sea battlefield.
His previous act of suppressing the quasi-legendary Pope from thousands of miles away had made the various Beast Emperors wary of his terrifying strength. To counter his sudden involvement, the Dragon Lizard and other Beast Emperors were forced to engage.
Unbeknownst to them, this was another ploy by the old man, enabling him to successfully assassinate Ziyue the Great.
What was even more outrageous was that the various Beast Emperors had no inkling of this, even believing they had successfully defended against him...
In fact, not only the fierce beasts, but even humanity could not fathom the old man's intentions.
"Is it ready?"
Chen Shu, far away on the battlefield, also received a message from the old man and couldn't help but look back.
Boom boom boom!
At this moment, Erha unleashed its full firepower, throwing out another [Elemental Annihilation], eliminating three Star Rank 1 Lords.
Chen Shu took out a teleportation potion and, without anyone noticing, left the battlefield, leaving behind only his four contract spirits.
"Rabbit, protect them!"
Chen Shu conveyed the message to Space Rabbit, feeling no particular worry.
With [Battle Instinct (Dragon)] and space divine skills, coupled with the teleportation potions in his exclusive space, the rabbit could ensure Erha and the others' safety.
"Old man."
Chen Shu arrived at the command center and looked at the old man before him, asking, "Was it successful?"
"Mm, they're on their way back."
The old man nodded and said, "You come with me first!"
The two left the command center and entered Dragon Abyss.
Dragon Abyss was also deserted at this time, with not a single fierce beast in sight, as if they had arrived in a dead land.
Chen Shu followed the old man to a multi-story building in the city, heading straight for the second floor.
"Can I finally go to the second floor?"
Chen Shu's expression stirred, showing a hint of excitement.
In his view, the second floor of the old man's residence held countless resources and treasures...
The old man glanced back at him, a strange smile playing on his lips.
The moment Chen Shu stepped onto the second floor, his vision abruptly shifted, as if he had entered another space.
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu's expression stiffened. The surroundings were filled with deep darkness, a stark contrast to the treasure-laden scene he had envisioned...
"Old man?"
The unknown instilled fear, and Chen Shu instinctively felt a trace of unease.
In such a dark place, wouldn't he be...
At that moment, streaks of radiant light appeared, dispelling the darkness within a radius of ten meters, bringing a sense of calm to the heart.
However, the surroundings of the space remained shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to discern.
"Hmm?"
The old man's figure appeared, looking back at Chen Shu and laughing:
"Are you perhaps scared, kid?"
"Am I? Sorry, I don't know what fear is!"
Upon seeing the light, Chen Shu's heart relaxed, and his mouth became defiant...
"Then what are you clutching in your hand?"
The old man's gaze shifted, and he saw that the young man's hands were indeed holding a pile of teleportation potions...
