The Ferocious Beast Qiongqi, Mistakenly Enters the Great Formation

Donghua's thoughts flickered, and the Stream of Time, which had been winding along docilely and reflecting the mists of the past, suddenly boiled.

The clear water of the stream surged into waves ten thousand feet high, transforming into an invisible barrier of time that stretched out before him.

The strand of lethal killing intent, capable of piercing metal and stone, plunged into the stream only to vanish like a clay ox entering the sea; its fierce velocity was infinitely delayed, dismantled, and finally dissipated within the flowing passage of time.

At the same time, Donghua flicked his sleeve, and the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler was summoned!

The body of the ruler flowed with the Primordial Dao rhymes from the dawn of creation, transforming into a purple-gold divine light that seemed to carry the weight of an entire world as it smashed down fiercely toward the source of the killing intent.

"BOOM!"

Beneath the ruler, it was not brute force, but the crushing weight of the Laws.

The layers of thick, ink-like chaotic Sha Qi were torn apart like shredded silk, rolling back and dispersing to both sides.

Wherever the edge of the ruler passed, space let out a groan of unbearable strain, revealing fine, jagged cracks.

The thunderous roar echoed through the shattered void, but before it could subside, it was interrupted by an even more violent bellow.

"ROAR!"

This roar not only shook the heavens and the earth, but it also contained a fierce power capable of tearing apart one's Divine Soul.

The sound waves expanded like a physical force, causing the surrounding trembling void to ripple with distorted waves.

With the power of this strike from the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler, the Sha Qi within a hundred-foot radius was completely swept away, and the scene in that area became clear.

A gargantuan beast was revealed in the center of the forced-out Sha mist, exposing its hideous and terrifying true form.

It resembled a giant tiger, its body covered in jet-black fur like steel needles, while a pair of ferocious, fleshy wings sprouted from its back. Its four claws were dug deep into the earth, holding a terrifying power capable of tearing everything apart.

Most heart-stopping of all were its golden, slit pupils, which burned with tyranny and malice as they stared fixedly at Donghua.

"A Fierce Beast!"

Looking at the creature with its soaring Sha Qi, Donghua identified its origins at a single glance.

"I never expected that after so many countless epochs, you Primordial Wilderness ants would still remember us!" The Qiongqi lowered its hideous head, its voice low and hoarse, carrying a playful tone like a cat toying with a mouse.

It did not rush to strike, its scarlet, giant eyes filled with mockery, as if savoring the fear about to appear on Donghua's face.

However, Donghua remained expressionless, and this calmness caused the Qiongqi's mockery to turn into a flicker of displeasure at being slighted.

The Qiongqi immediately let out a low growl, the sound waves carrying Sha Qi as they boomed outward:

"That's right, This Seat is one of the Four Fiends of the Fierce Beast Dynasty, Qiongqi!"

Hearing the words of the beast before him, Donghua chuckled, "You aren't afraid of being a laughingstock? The Four Fiends—do you even qualify?"

One must know that the first generation of the Four Fiends were the four great beast kings, second only to the Beast Emperor Shenni, and each beast king possessed strength comparable to a Golden Immortal of the Origin.

Yet this beast before him was at most at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm; how could it be worthy of the title of the Four Fiends? It was likely nothing more than a descendant of the original Four Fiends.

"Presumptuous!" Hearing Donghua's words, the Qiongqi's expression turned savage, its roar shaking the air:

"This Seat is Qiongqi! How dare an ant insult me so!"

Enraged, the Qiongqi extended a claw and swiped at Donghua.

Donghua raised his hand and flicked his wrist; the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler flared with brilliant light, colliding with the beast's sharp claws.

Metal clashed against metal, the void trembled, and the violent shockwaves swept in all directions.

"The Great Tribulation of the Fierce Beasts ended long ago. You are abandoned by Heaven and loathed by the Earth; you should be hiding in the shadows like rats in the street, yet you dare to spout such nonsense here!"

"Since you do not recognize the mandate of Heaven, then perish."

Before Donghua's voice had even faded, the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler in his hand had already struck out.

The body of the ruler flowed with mysterious yellow Dao rhymes, ignoring the layers of spatial barriers as it suddenly smashed toward the Qiongqi!

The reacting Qiongqi hurriedly channeled its right claw, condensing a monstrous amount of Sha Qi to meet the blow head-on.

"BOOM!"

The mysterious yellow divine light collided violently with the pitch-black Sha Qi, causing space to tremble.

The next instant, a shrill, pained roar echoed out; the Qiongqi's indestructible claw had been smashed clean off, and the ruler's edge, its momentum undiminished, tore a deep, bone-exposing wound across its chest and abdomen!

The massive beast body was sent flying like a meteor, crashing heavily into the earth, kicking up clouds of dust and debris, and carving deep ravines into the mountain range of Sha Qi.

"ROAR!"

Before the dust had settled, the Qiongqi let out a roar filled with terror and, without a moment's hesitation, transformed into a streak of blood-red light, fleeing desperately into the depths of the Sha Qi!

The previous strike had made it clear that a head-on confrontation would only lead to death.

"Don't you dare run!"

How could Donghua and Taizhen allow it to escape? They transformed into streaks of light and pursued relentlessly, a brutal chase unfolding across this land saturated with Sha Qi.

The Qiongqi had lost its will to fight and sought only to escape, utilizing its familiarity with the terrain to weave frantically through jagged rocks and whirlpools of Sha Qi.

However, Donghua and Taizhen had already locked onto it firmly; the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler shone with majestic power, while Taizhen held the Kunlun Mirror, coordinating constantly as their attacks followed like shadows.

"SHING!"

The Mysterious Light of the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler swept past, adding another wound to the Qiongqi's back, its scales and flesh torn open.

"Boom!"

The Pure Yin Immortal Light arrived first despite being launched later, striking precisely at the previously injured right limb and tearing it apart completely.

Qiongqi let out a series of miserable howls, its aura wilting at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its fleeing figure becoming increasingly unsteady.

There was no intact spot left on its body; the wounds were deep enough to expose bone, and its dark golden beast blood had almost run dry, leaving a ghastly blood-red mark in the void with every step it took.

It was relying solely on a fierce instinct and the desire to survive to flee frantically.

Taizhen cast the Kunlun Mirror to freeze Qiongqi in place, and Donghua instantly activated the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler.

The ruler grew in the wind, transforming into a Mysterious Yellow Giant Ruler that spanned the heavens and earth, carrying the supreme power to judge all things and measure the universe as it smashed down violently!

"Bang!!"

This time, Qiongqi was no longer able to resist, being struck solidly on its spine.

It let out a cry of utter despair, its massive body falling from the sky like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a seemingly ordinary valley below.

However, the moment its body touched the ground!

"Hum!!!"

The entire valley shook violently! Countless complex, brilliant patterns interwoven with Innate Dao Charm lit up in an instant!

Without any hesitation, Donghua and Taizhen transformed into two streaks of light, chasing into the formation instantly!

As the two stepped into the barrier, Innate Spiritual Qi as thick as mist rushed toward them.

Towering Ancient Trees blotted out the sky and sun, and spiritual springs flowed with a gurgle, forming a sharp contrast with the surging Sha Qi outside the barrier, as if a Lapis Lazuli Pure Lotus had bloomed in a hellish abyss.

Taizhen looked around this pure land, unable to hide her astonishment: "Who would have thought such a Grotto-Heaven was hidden deep within the Sha Qi?"

Before her voice had even faded, the wind and clouds above the great formation changed drastically! Thick Innate Clear Spiritual Qi gathered frantically, condensing into a purple thundercloud that blotted out the sky.

"Boom!"

A Purple Mansion Divine Thunder as thick as a water barrel tore through the sky, carrying the power of destruction and purification as it struck precisely at Qiongqi, which was struggling to rise.

The thunder light exploded, completely swallowing its massive body.

Seeing this scene, Donghua's eyes narrowed, and the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler in his hand flew out in response.

As the Mysterious Yellow Dao Charm swirled, the ruler grew in the wind, carrying supreme power as it smashed down upon the head of Qiongqi, which had been left staggering by the thunder strike!
