Six-Eared Macaque stood before the Flame Demon Bird, its fur standing on end, and its eyes glowing with a scarlet light like burning flames.
At this moment, his aura became violent and fierce, like a ferocious beast that had been provoked and was ready to pounce on the enemy at any time.
The Flame Demon Bird looked down at Six-Eared Macaque from its high perch.
With each flap of its enormous wings, it stirred up a scorching storm that distorted the surrounding air.
Its voice was deep and hoarse, filled with endless mockery. "An ant dares to defy the heavens? How laughable... You think you can shake the rules of the Abyss of Chaos with your meager power? What wishful thinking!"
Six-Eared Macaque did not respond, but simply gripped the Immortal Slaying Halberd tightly in his hand, with Chaos Stardust flowing around him, forming a dazzling halo.
The colorful lotus on his forehead shimmered slightly, emitting a soft and profound light, as if providing him with a continuous source of power.
"You're courting death!" Six-Eared Macaque roared, his figure suddenly leaping up, the Immortal Slaying Halberd slicing through the sky, carrying a sharp halberd light, straight piercing the chest of the Flame Demon Bird.
The Flame Demon Bird let out a sharp cry and suddenly flapped its wings.
The blazing flames swept in like ocean waves, completely engulfing Six-Eared Macaque's attack.
However, Six-Eared Macaque did not back down. His figure weaved through the flames, and the Chaos Stardust transformed into countless sharp blades, cutting the flames into fragments.
"A trivial skill!"
The Flame Demon Bird sneered, and its huge claws slammed down with earth-shattering power, heading straight for Six-Eared Macaque's head.
A ruthless glint flashed in Six-Eared Macaque's eyes. He swung the Immortal Slaying Halberd violently, and the halberd's light collided with the claws of the Flame Demon Bird, unleashing a deafening roar.
The immense impact forced Six-Eared Macaque back several steps, but his body remained as steady as a mountain, without the slightest tremor.
"Your power... is nothing special!"
Six-Eared Macaque sneered, and the colorful lotus on his forehead suddenly bloomed. Chaos Stardust flowed around him, gradually condensing into a crystal star.
"With the power of Hundun, draw upon the light of the stars!" Six-Eared Macaque shouted, and the stars burst forth with dazzling light, shooting straight into the chest of the Flame Demon Bird.
The Flame Demon Bird let out a painful roar, and the light on its chest was struck by the stars, instantly dimming.
Its form began to twist and gradually dissipate into the Hundun.
Six-Eared Macaque a sigh of relief, but soon, a sense of unease rose in his heart again.
Standing deep within the Abyss of Chaos, the surrounding Hundun energy surged like a tide, as if it would completely engulf him.
The colorful lotus on his forehead shimmered slightly, emitting a soft and profound light that provided him with a continuous source of power.
However, he was not at ease because of this.
He knew that the trials of the Abyss of Chaos were far from over, and the challenges to come would be even more perilous.
"Clang--!"
Just then, a bell rang out from the depths of the Abyss of Chaos.
Profound, timeless...
It's as if it came from the end of the river of time, traversing through time and space.
As the bell tolled, the surrounding Hundun energy suddenly surged violently, and an ancient stone gate slowly emerged from it.
The door was covered with strange runes, emitting a cold, eerie light.
Six-Eared Macaque cautiously approached the stone gate, taking each step with utmost care.
As he approached the door, the stone door opened automatically, and a powerful suction force shot out from inside, pulling him directly into it.
After Six-Eared Macaque entered the door, he found himself in a strange space.
Here, the sky hangs upside down, and the ground is a flowing Lava River.
Before he could even get his footing, a colossal beast made of rock roared and charged toward him.
This behemoth exuded an ancient and weathered aura, and every step it took caused the space to tremble.
Six-Eared Macaque took a deep breath, gripped the Immortal Slaying Halberd tightly once more, and the colorful lotus on his forehead shone brightly. He decided to take the initiative and charged towards the giant beast.
Just as the two were about to collide, Six-Eared Macaque's figure flashed and disappeared, and the next moment he appeared behind the giant beast, stabbing the giant beast's body with his halberd.
However, the attack failed to even scratch the beast's hide. The beast roared angrily and charged towards Six-Eared Macaque.
"I never expected this beast to have such formidable defensive capabilities. What exactly is this thing?"
Six-Eared Macaque pondered to himself, but his body retreated rapidly.
"Awooo—!"
The giant beast roared to the sky, its sound waves piercing through space, instantly causing Six-Eared Macaque to ache terribly.
Six-Eared Macaque endured the excruciating pain, knowing that if he continued to passively endure the beating, he would have no chance of survival.
He glanced around and saw several towering peaks in the distance.
Six-Eared Macaque devised a plan and deliberately flew at high speed towards the peak.
The giant beast was in hot pursuit, and every stride it took shook the earth.
As it approached the peak, Six-Eared Macaque suddenly changed direction and began to circle around it.
Because of its enormous size, the behemoth couldn't turn around in time and crashed hard into the peak.
A loud rumble was heard, and the spike was smashed, sending rocks flying everywhere.
But the giant beast was also temporarily trapped in the pile of stones.
Six-Eared Macaque seized the opportunity, gripped the Immortal Slaying Halberd with both hands, channeled all his power into it, and chanted incantations.
Suddenly, the light on the Immortal Slaying Halberd surged, and the originally black halberd body turned into a dazzling golden light.
With a roar, Six-Eared Macaque charged toward the trapped giant beast. This time, the Immortal Slaying Halberd easily pierced the beast's body.
However, the scenario Six-Eared Macaque had imagined did not occur; the giant beast merely roared once and then broke free.
Although the halberd pierced deeply into the beast's body, it did not cause any substantial damage.
Six-Eared Macaque was greatly alarmed, realizing that ordinary attacks would be insufficient to harm the giant beast.
He quickly retreated to create distance, the colorful lotus on his forehead flashing incessantly.
"Looks like we have no choice but to use that trick." Six-Eared Macaque gritted his teeth.
He quickly formed hand seals and chanted ancient and obscure incantations.
The Chaos Stardust on his body continued to gather, gradually forming a huge energy ball in front of him.
After breaking free of its restraints, the giant beast charged at Six-Eared Macaque again, each step causing the ground to crack.
Six-Eared Macaque glared and pushed the energy ball toward the giant beast.
The moment the energy ball touched the behemoth, it burst forth with intense light.
The giant beast was enveloped inside, letting out painful roars.
When the light faded, the giant beast, though badly injured, still stood unsteadily.
Taking advantage of the situation, Six-Eared Macaque raised the Immortal Slaying Halberd again, this time with wisps of destructive aura swirling around its blade.
