Boom! Roar!
Within the Soul Nurturing Temple's secret realm, thunderous blasts rang out one after another, mixed with the savage roars of strange beasts.
"Roar!"
The entire secret realm's main peak began to tremble beneath its ferocious assaults. A terrifying aura spread outward as streams of attacking spiritual light struck back from the mountain's restrictions.
Buzz!
This was a scaleless white snake, yet two water buffalo horns grew from its head, containing immense strength.
Its scarlet eyes stared fixedly at the huge boulder on the main peak. Upon that boulder sat a bowl of fresh crimson blood and several red crystals dug from the bodies of strange beasts.
These things held an enormous allure for the Horned White Snake. Though the restrictions on the mountain were exceedingly dangerous, it paid them no heed. Fearless of death, it continued its relentless attacks.
The Horned White Snake's body was already covered in savage, terrifying wounds. Just now, a blast of spiritual power had nearly cut through it into two pieces.
"Hisss!"
Having suffered a fatal wound, the white snake became utterly frenzied and violent. Gathering every last bit of strength, it slammed its head into the boulder.
Thud!
The restricted boulder shattered into pieces in an instant. Vast amounts of spiritual light shot outward, as if a rain of light had fallen.
At the foot of the mountain, Li Qing, who had remained hidden all this time, stepped out with an excited expression.
"It took the lives of five strange beasts, but I finally blasted open a fatal gap in the restrictions here."
As the words fell, Li Qing climbed the mountain methodically, first putting away the white snake's body.
After absorbing spiritual qi, these strange beasts had undergone transformations. Some of the materials on their bodies had unexpectedly become spiritual materials
