On the other side, Dongfang Chacha and the others also felt that terrifying aura.
They could barely move, either.
An Yu was surprised, and even more horrified.
They really had missed something. This island wasn't simple; the Evil God might actually be here.
The terrifying pressure left her unable to muster even the slightest urge to fight back.
After hearing the other party's roar, An Yu desperately wanted to know who had made the first move.
But no matter how difficult it was, she was still trying to find a way to notify the people outside.
Dongfang Chacha couldn't move at all. The voice had startled her so badly that her mind had gone blank.
Hadn't they said there was only a great treasure here? How could there be such a terrifying presence?
Xiang Yu didn't think too much about it. She only wanted to protect Miss Cha Cha.
Just then, the power within erupted once more, as if the two sides had started fighting.
With a boom, they would have to endure even more terrifying shockwaves.
The slightest mistake could spell disaster.
Lu Shui stared at the center of the Giant Pit. The other party had awakened, but the moment it did, the Eight Laws Killing Array attacked once more.
They were already fighting. Who had time to waste words at a crucial moment?
After taking two attacks, the ferocious beast finally stopped talking. It gathered its terrifying power and tried to burst out of the Giant Pit, wanting to see who had attacked it.
But as soon as it reached the mouth of the pit, countless chains wrapped around it, binding it tightly. It struggled a few times, only to find it couldn't break free.
But it saw who had attacked it.
A human. An utterly ordinary human.
A weak human.
"Human, you have some nerve!" The ferocious beast glared at Lu Shui, its mighty voice echoing in every direction.
Lu Shui stood where he was and watched, then spoke:
"Just a beast."
"Roar!" The ferocious beast was enraged. After struggling a few times, it said coldly:
"Foolish human, dare to say that again?"
Lu Shui scoffed and didn't even bother to reply. That very scorn only enraged the other party further.
"Human, I'll kill you." Terrifying power began battering the Eight Directions Array.
Lu Shui looked at the other party, his gaze utterly devoid of emotion.
"Eight Directions Array. Kill."
As Lu Shui's voice fell, the arrays at the edges of the pillars of light lit up, and countless attacks surged toward the ferocious beast.
Explosions and roars rang out without end.
The dazzling light made it impossible for anyone to look directly at it.
"Damned human, how long do you think you can hold me here? Do you think this can kill me?"
"I'll make you pay. I'll make you pay dearly."
The attacks from the Eight Directions Array intensified. Lu Shui controlled the array, attacking without pause as he kept his eyes on the other party.
Boom!!
"Roar! Human, you forced me to do this."
At that moment, a blazing white light bloomed at the center of the Giant Pit.
Its power spread outward like a ring.
Lu Shui watched the light, his brow furrowing.
"What a nuisance."
The next moment, he used the Eight Directions Array to shield the area in front of him.
With a boom, the ring of light swept past.
Lu Shui stood there without moving, but the power whipped his clothes into a furious flutter.
Then the ring swept straight through the pillars of light. The pillars and the ring clashed, and soon the ring's force passed through them and reached the Barren Grassland.
At the very front, Le Feng activated his defensive treasure with everything he had.
This wasn't the time to worry about the cost. It was a matter of whether they would survive.
True Martial True Spirit also took a tremendous hit. Fortunately, they were behind Lu Shui, so the impact wasn't as severe.
Most of the ring's power had been weakened, but the others still struggled to withstand it.
An Yu, Xiang Yu, and the others had all activated their treasures, but the power kept surging toward them.
They began to suffer injuries.
Dongfang Chacha had a Protective Magic Treasure, but it was passive; she couldn't activate it herself.
And with Xiang Yu and the others protecting her, it was even harder to activate.
She was frantic, but couldn't move.
An Yu felt helpless. What level of combatants were fighting inside?
The disturbance on the Barren Grassland naturally alarmed many people.
Some people outside wanted to go in and take a look.
But no matter what method they tried, they all lost their way at the outermost edge.
"What a powerful Mystic Array. Is there a Formation Master here?"
"There are powerful beings fighting inside. Don't get too close. You'll die."
Though it was dangerous, many still wanted to go in.
The Lu Family Members wanted to enter even more. It wasn't a question of danger; there might be important clues inside.
But no matter how badly they wanted to get in, they couldn't make it to the inner area. Even Sword Flight was no help.
Boom!!!
A sudden, thunderous crash shook the earth.
Then, from the center of the Barren Grassland came a roar that shook heaven and earth:
"Human, what other tricks do you have? Use them all. In a moment, let's see what you'll use to keep me trapped.
"Today, I'll go on a killing spree. I'll use the lowly blood of humans to quench my rage.
"No one will escape."
The terrifying voice was enough to shake the heart.
Its voice carried an oppressive force that no one could ignore.
At that moment, the people outside the Barren Grassland began to consider retreating.
Still, some wanted to go in and investigate. The rest either decided to wait and see or quietly left.
The danger here was beyond imagination.
Lu Shui dispelled the defense in front of him.
He looked at the shattered killing array in the sky and said nothing.
Then he heard a cracking sound.
Crack. Countless fissures suddenly spread across the Eight Directions Array, and the pillars of light overhead wouldn't hold much longer.
The Eight Directions Array had been badly damaged.
But the ferocious beast was in no better shape.
Its entire body was covered in wounds, and it had grown incredibly weak.
Even so, it was still far beyond Lu Shui's ability to fight head-on.
Fortunately, the Eight Directions Trapping Array could still hold.
"Human, you can't kill me." The ferocious beast stared hard at Lu Shui.
Lu Shui watched it calmly, said nothing, and then raised his hand to activate the Eight Directions Array.
He needed to attack the other party and find its fatal weakness through those attacks.
The next moment, countless attacks surged toward the ferocious beast once more.
The attacks wounded it badly, but not one was fatal.
"Useless human. Once I break free, I'll tear you apart and devour you alive." The ferocious beast's words seethed with killing intent and hatred.
Lu Shui kept watching the other party and noticed its forelimbs were blocking the attacks from the Eight Directions Array. They were aimed at its chest.
Lu Shui frowned. The ferocious beast normally didn't defend itself.
The next moment, Lu Shui redirected every remaining array formation and sent them straight toward its chest.
In an instant, countless attacks howled toward a single spot.
The ferocious beast flew into a rage.
"Human, you dare!"
Boom!!!
Every attack struck the ferocious beast in the chest.
The barrage stopped before long.
The other party was still alive.
"Human, do you know what you've done? You've truly enraged me." The ferocious beast sounded on the verge of madness.
But Lu Shui smiled.
He'd finally found it.
He could see it now—the heart exposed in the ferocious beast's chest.
A pitch-black heart, beating strong and steady.
"Your heart really is black."
