Cloud Swallowing Beast

"Master, there's a group of trial participants fighting Ocean Demonic Beast in the eastern sea area, and it's going to be a really tough battle!"

As soon as the Lightning Thunder Roc arrived, before it even had a sip of water, it reported everything it had discovered along the way to Hua Qiang and the other man.

This includes the multi-ethnic alliance that was crossing the sea to reach Peach Blossom Island.

"Oh, really? This is going to be interesting."

It seems there are quite a few people who have entered this Ancient Secret Realm!

We're quite close to that sea area now, so why don't we go to Peach Blossom Island first and see what we can find?

"After that, we'll go to Jade Gate Peak to see the legacy of that Immortal Sovereign."

"Okay, old man."

Nalan Yan obeyed Hua Qiang's every word; wherever Hua Qiang pointed, she would do it.

"Little Thunder, as you enter the Small World, your master has prepared a surprise for you!" Hua Qiang said to the Lightning Thunder Roc.

"Ah? What surprise is it, Master?" the Lightning Thunder Roc Wen Dao impatiently.

Hua Qiang smiled without saying a word, seemingly determined to keep the suspense going. Lightning Thunder Roc rolled its eyes at Hua Qiang.

Then a thought struck him: since his master said so, there must be something good waiting for him.

He immediately thanked him and then entered Hua Qiang's Small World.

Hua Qiang thought for a moment, then simply put the White Dragon Horse and the Rat King into the Small World as well, and then picked up Nalan Yan.

"Ah--"

Nalan Yan exclaimed in surprise, then gently punched Hua Qiang's chest.

"Old man, you're being inappropriate. Why are you in such a hurry in broad daylight?"

Hua Qiang was taken aback, and then realized that Nalan Yan had misunderstood him.

But since this girl has already misunderstood, let her continue to misunderstand, otherwise he'll be at a loss.

Two hours later, Nalan Yan, who had been tidied up, was picked up by Hua Qiang again.

"Old man, weren't you satisfied just now? Want more?"

Hua Qiang flicked Nalan Yan's nose and said with a smile, "Wife, do you think I'm such a lustful person?"

"I'm not doing this to save time; I'm using spatial magic to travel directly to Peach Blossom Island."

Nalan Yan opened her cherry-like lips, then blushed. What was she thinking?

I messed up!

Oh my god, I'm so embarrassed!

Then, amidst her exclamation, Hua Qiang used his Space Folding Technique, took a step, and the next second he was directly above Peach Blossom Island.

As Hua Qiang and Nalan Yan stepped onto the flowing clouds, they had just arrived above Peach Blossom Island and had not yet seen the entire island when the air around them suddenly became as still as lead.

A powerful pressure, carrying a foul wind, descended from the sky, as if thousands of mountains were falling at once. Nalan Yan's face turned pale instantly, and the Spiritual Power within her body began to surge uncontrollably.

Amidst the roar, the dark clouds seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand, revealing a beastly claw that blotted out the sky.

The dark purple scales were covered with grooves, from which flowed a viscous, dark green liquid, and wherever it dripped, ripples spread through the void.

The sharp barbs hanging between the knuckles gleamed with a cold, eerie blue light; each one was several feet long, as if they could easily pierce through the stars.

The Gale Force whipped up by the beast's claws shredded the surrounding clouds into fragments, which then slammed down on the two of them.

Hua Qiang's pupils contracted sharply, his arms gripping Nalan Yan's slender waist like iron clamps, and his figure flashed out like lightning.

The beast's claws grazed the hem of their clothes, carving a deep, bottomless crack in the void, distorting and deforming the space in their wake.

Before the two could catch their breath, the beast's claws suddenly and strangely reversed direction, sweeping across the island at an illogical speed, the resulting shockwave blowing away all the peach trees on the island below.

"Hmph! How dare you launch a sneak attack! I'll chop off those claws of yours!"

Hua Qiang let out a cold shout, and lightning surged in his palm, revealing a Thunderclap Blade engraved with ancient runes.

The lightning power wrapped around the blade crackled and popped as it struck the surrounding space.

He swung his sword, the blade's edge carrying World-destroying force that clashed violently with the beast's claws.

In an instant, a dazzling light burst forth, the void trembled, and countless tiny Space Rift spread like a spider web.

"Hmm? Interesting. This trash at the mere Immortal King Realm actually managed to break through my claw attack. Looks like I'm in for some fun this time!"

A voice, filled with both pressure and mockery, came from deep within the clouds. The sound waves made Hua Qiang's eardrums ache, and his Spiritual Power became disordered.

"You cowardly, charlatan, show yourself and let me see what the hell you are!"

Hua Qiang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, raised his knife, and roared angrily.

"Holy crap!"

A furious roar came from the clouds, "Damn it, you dare to trespass on my territory and then insult me?"

"If I don't skin you alive and tear your tendons apart, I'm not called the Cloud Swallowing Beast!"

Before the words were finished, the clouds churned violently, and a giant beast slowly revealed itself.

Its enormous body, a hundred feet tall, resembled a moving mountain. Its dark purple scales were covered with hideous wounds, yet they gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen.

The three enormous heads each emanated a different aura:

The left side of the skull is covered with sharp fangs, and Black Flame are spewing from its mouth.

The head in the middle had blood-red eyes, and its pupils gleamed with a terrifyingly fierce light.

The right side of his head was covered with malignant tumors, and foul-smelling venom would rain down from his open mouth.

Twelve thick, powerful beast hooves trod upon the clouds, each step causing the space to groan under their strain.

The Cloud Swallowing Beast opened its blood-red maw, revealing a barrage of sharp teeth, and saliva dripped down like a waterfall. The terrifying pressure made Hua Qiang and Nalan Yan feel very uncomfortable.

Hua Qiang's expression was solemn. He caught a glimpse of Nalan Yan's swaying figure out of the corner of his eye, and with a thought, he sent her into the Small World.

"Wife, go and rest first. Watch me kill this beast."

As soon as he finished speaking, his aura surged, making him appear like a war god standing in the void.

With a roar, Hua Qiang flipped the Thunderclap Blade in his palm, and the blade burst forth with dazzling light.

[Kunpeng Sky-Splitting Strike]!

In an instant, the void twisted, and a huge Kun Peng Phantom emerged from the blade. Its wings, which blotted out the sky, carried World-destroying force and roared towards the Cloud Swallowing Beast.

The pupils of the middle head of the Cloud Swallowing Beast suddenly contracted, and Black Flame spewed from its mouth in an attempt to block the Kun Peng Phantom, but the flames vanished instantly beneath the Kunpeng's giant wings.

Before the Cloud Swallowing Beast could react, Hua Qiang had already assumed a sword-drawing stance, sheathing the blade before drawing it out with lightning speed.

[Heaven-Slaying Draw Sword Technique]!

A dazzling blade of light ripped through the sky, as if to cleave the heavens in two.

The Cloud Swallowing Beast opened its fangs on its left side and spewed out a black mist, attempting to deflect the blade's edge. However, the blade's edge pierced through the mist and struck straight at its head.

Before the Cloud Swallowing Beast could fully recover from its first two moves, Hua Qiang's figure had already vanished from the spot. The next second, he appeared behind the Cloud -Cloud Swallowing Beast, slashing down with his Thunderclap Blade.

[The Blade Principle: Escape Slaughter]!

The blade flashed like a ghost, aimed straight at the Cloud Swallowing Beast's vitals.

The Cloud Swallowing Beast's twelve legs moved simultaneously, stirring up a fierce Gale Force, while its right head sprayed out foul-smelling venom in an attempt to stop it.

The three major moves collided with the Cloud Swallowing Beast's attack, causing the sky and earth to change color.

Amidst the deafening explosion, space shattered into countless vortexes.

Purple scale fragments mingled with blade light, flames, and venom, blowing away all the clouds within a thousand miles.

The aftershocks also shook Peach Blossom Island below.

The Cloud Swallowing Beast roared, its massive body being jolted backward. Chi Hua Qiang's face also turned pale, and his hand holding the knife trembled slightly.
