The Most Terrifying Exotic Beast

The instant Liu Chengfeng charged into the stone stele, four figures flashed forward, rushing for the portal as well.

Besides the three giant beasts, the four figures included the Dragon Armor Woman.

She was the Dragon Armor Woman. After being defeated by the Giant Ape, she had not fled Little Meng Mountain but had instead gone into hiding.

Just as the four figures charged into the portal, a small boat and a corpse appeared inside it.

The corpse standing on the boat raised its bamboo pole and brought it crashing down on the four figures.

Its divine might surged like a mountain range crashing down, its power piercing heaven and earth.

The force was far too strong. It sent all four figures flying, blood spraying from their mouths.

"Good heavens—"

The vast divine might scared countless exotic beasts out of their wits. Ah Yuan turned and fled without a second thought.

What sacrifice? What God Tomb? What lord? None of that had anything to do with him. Staying alive was what mattered.

The other exotic beasts were no different. In an instant, they scattered in every direction, their courage scared clean out of them.

"Ah—"

Liu Chengfeng's scream tore through the darkness. After he charged into the portal, his foot landed on nothing, and he plummeted straight down.

Terrified, Liu Chengfeng screamed as he watched himself fall like a shooting star.

Liu Chengfeng plummeted, the wind howling in his ears.

He had no idea how long he fell. With a thud, he finally hit the ground.

He had not been smashed to pieces. Instead, he had landed on something furry.

But that was no good thing.

In an instant, a wild, supreme beastly aura rushed toward him, as if a god or devil had possessed him.

Liu Chengfeng had felt this godlike, demonic beastly aura before—when the invincible figure had battled the One-Legged Exotic Beast.

Liu Chengfeng had landed on the body of a colossal beast. It was the One-Legged Exotic Beast, godlike and demonic, terrifying beyond compare, capable of crushing all beneath heaven.

Only, the One-Legged Exotic Beast was bound by thick chains of golden law and could not move.

No one knew how long it had been trapped here. The power suppressing it had worn away its vital blood.

Even it, once as mighty as a god or devil, was now dispirited.

The One-Legged Exotic Beast lay as if dead.

When Liu Chengfeng landed on it, its single eye snapped open, a terrifying, boundless eye like that of a god or devil.

A tidal wave of godlike, demonic beastly aura invaded Liu Chengfeng's body, and a stream of true blood instantly burrowed into his Blood Sea Divine Treasury.

"Possess him and escape!"

The One-Legged Exotic Beast roared. Its soul appeared in Liu Chengfeng's mind, trying to devour his soul and take over his body.

His Celestial Body lit up, blocking the One-Legged Exotic Beast's attempt at possession.

The One-Legged Exotic Beast could not invade him. Instead, it was suppressed by the Celestial Body and could not control Liu Chengfeng's body.

"Die!"

With life and death hanging on a single thought, Liu Chengfeng did not hesitate. The Golden Incense Stick in his hand blazed with scorching light as he plunged it viciously into the beast's single eye.

His other hand had already gripped the Short Spear Ye Huijian had given him. He drove it viciously into the One-Legged Exotic Beast's body.

"Anan—"

The cry burst from Liu Chengfeng's lips, though he did not understand what it meant.

A shrill scream rang across the dark world. Blood sprayed as the beast's single eye was pierced.

The One-Legged Exotic Beast's hide and flesh had once been impenetrable, yet now the Short Spear pierced straight through it.

This was partly because the beast had been suppressed for countless years and partly because the Short Spear was indestructible. More importantly, its true blood had left its body, and its soul was suppressed by the Celestial Body.

Without its true blood and with its soul suppressed, even its mighty body was like rotten silk.

With the true blood inside his Blood Sea Divine Treasury, Liu Chengfeng felt as if his body were about to explode.

His Blood Sea churned, and Liu Chengfeng could not help crying out in pain.

The One-Legged Exotic Beast's screams were even more tortured. Its attempt at possession had failed, it had lost its true blood, and the Golden Incense Stick had pierced its single eye.

At Liu Chengfeng's call, divine light erupted from the Short Spear embedded in its body.

Thousands upon thousands of rays shot from inside it like sharp swords, leaving it riddled with holes.

In the end, countless beams of divine light ground the One-Legged Exotic Beast's huge body to pieces. The Golden Law Divine Chains wrapped around it contracted and withdrew.

The One-Legged Exotic Beast died with resentment in its heart. Even the gods could not suppress its soul or stop it from possessing another body, yet it had failed at the hands of a nobody.

Liu Chengfeng turned inward and frantically circulated the Mad Kui Heart Method, steadying his Blood Sea and calming his surging vital energy.

Only after one cycle after another did Liu Chengfeng finally steady his Blood Sea.

Within the Blood Sea Divine Treasury, the One-Legged Exotic Beast's true blood swam about. It looked weak, like a sickly, pale dragon.

Even so, this true blood was extraordinarily sacred, radiating a divine aura.

The Blood Sea Divine Treasury reached perfection in its fourth stage, and the sea of blood within it expanded to twenty li.

At that moment, Liu Chengfeng felt his vital energy surging like a mighty river. He had strength to spare and could have swallowed nine bulls in one gulp.

After finally getting to his feet, Liu Chengfeng saw that the One-Legged Exotic Beast had been shredded into pieces. A section of lotus root grew from the ground.

The lotus root was golden all over, covered in fine hairs like the Golden Law Divine Chains.

"What is this? Could it be the Source of the Origin God the old man mentioned?"

Liu Chengfeng dug the Golden Lotus Root out of the ground. Before he had time to examine it, it flashed and burrowed into his Blood Sea Divine Treasury.

The Golden Lotus Root burrowed into his Blood Sea Divine Treasury as if it meant to take root there. Liu Chengfeng could do nothing about it.

Outside the God Tomb, everything was in disarray. All the exotic beasts had fled.

Only the three great exotic beasts and the Dragon Armor Woman remained.

The Dragon Armor Woman could not leave because she was being suppressed.

She was too close to the corpse on the small boat. The divine might radiating from it had suppressed her directly, leaving her unable to move.

The three great exotic beasts were suppressed too. They were farther from the corpse and had not been pinned down, but they still had no intention of leaving.

They wanted to devour the Dragon Armor Woman, and they also coveted the God Tomb. They were unwilling to give up just like that.

The corpse on the small boat lay motionless, radiating a terrifying divine might.

At that moment, the Dragon Armor Woman was close to despair.

Her strength was suppressed, and three giant beasts watched her hungrily below the mountain. She could be swallowed at any moment.

Light flashed from the stone stele, and Liu Chengfeng stepped out of it. Seeing the scene before him, he could not help feeling surprised.

When he saw the corpse on the small boat, he understood what had happened.

"Still want to live?"

Liu Chengfeng raised the Golden Incense Stick in his hand.

The three giant beasts caught a whiff of the smoke curling from the Golden Incense Stick and panicked, turning to flee.

The aura of the Golden Incense Stick that had killed the One-Legged Exotic Beast still lingered. How could it not scare them half to death?

The Dragon Armor Woman watched Liu Chengfeng in bewilderment. None of this had been what she expected.

"Little beauty, want me to carry you back?"

Seeing the Dragon Armor Woman pinned down, Liu Chengfeng looked her over.

The Dragon Armor Woman shot him a murderous glare, her gaze carrying the authority of an empress.

"Giving me the evil eye? Believe it or not, I'll carry you off and make you my bandit queen."

Liu Chengfeng did not care who she was. He removed the Phoenix Feather Helmet.

With the Phoenix Feather Helmet off, she was a dazzling sight.

The woman before him was peerlessly beautiful, with willow-leaf brows, phoenix eyes, and vermilion lips. Her bearing radiated a fearsome, lofty authority.

"What a pretty little wife."

The more the Dragon Armor Woman glared at him, the more Liu Chengfeng wanted to tease her. He reached out and pinched her cheek. It was smooth to the touch, soft enough to break beneath a breath.

The Dragon Armor Woman's gaze was murderous, her dignity inviolable, but Liu Chengfeng paid it no mind.

After teasing her for a while, Liu Chengfeng left her be and climbed onto the small boat.

He took out Water Caltrop Zongzi, Yellow Rice Wine, and Sandalwood Incense, then lit the incense and offered them in sacrifice.

The corpse stood up, ate the Water Caltrop Zongzi, drank the Yellow Rice Wine, and inhaled the Sandalwood Incense.

"It worked. It really worked."

The corpse needed no questions to sense the true blood on Liu Chengfeng.

"Thank you for seeing me through, senior."

Liu Chengfeng bowed deeply to the corpse again and again.

"Good, good, good. My mission is complete. When you see His Majesty, pass on a message for me."

Without turning around, the corpse entered the God Tomb. A rumble followed, and the tomb sank underground and vanished.

Liu Chengfeng bowed once, then turned to leave.

The Dragon Armor Woman was left staring blankly after him. It took her a long while to recover.

"The nerve on that lecher."

From a mountain peak, Ye Huijian had watched the whole time. She then turned and left, catching up with the three giant beasts and killing them with a single attack.

"I can't let you live. Some secrets must not get back to them."

The three giant beasts never learned who had killed them.

Liu Chengfeng left Little Meng Mountain and hurried back to the Wu Dao Sect.

As soon as he entered Ten Mile Village, he saw the Cloud Rising Sect and Ascending Wu Clan facing off. The Grandmaster Mansion was there too.

It turned out that the Ascending Wu Clan had suffered a great loss on Little Meng Mountain, so they had come to Ten Mile Village to settle accounts with Liu Chengfeng and eliminate a future threat for Zhao Jinnian.

They had not expected Liu Chengfeng to be away. Instead, they ran into the Cloud Rising Sect, and then the Grandmaster Mansion arrived too.

Because of Liu Chengfeng, the feud between the Cloud Rising Sect and the Ascending Wu Clan had grown severe. Both sides stood with swords drawn.

"Today's the perfect day to kill you—"

Seeing Zhao Jinnian there too, Liu Chengfeng's killing intent rose.

"You brat, don't get cocky!"

The people of the Ascending Wu Clan were furious.

"What's there to be afraid of? I'm going to take that evil servant's life."

Liu Chengfeng laughed and shouted for them to attack.

A massive black shadow pounced forward. With a thunderous crash, the Ascending Wu Clan's flying boat, hovering in midair, was smashed to pieces.

It was Ah Yuan who had attacked.

Having learned his lesson last time, Liu Chengfeng had destroyed the flying boat first, giving Zhao Jinnian no chance to escape.

"Brat, you're dead!"

Ascending Wu Rong's expression changed. With a cold snort, a gloomy force rushed toward Liu Chengfeng like a dark blade piercing his body.

"Clan Head Wu Rong, don't bully someone weaker than you."

Nangong Renshe naturally would not let Ascending Wu Rong attack. He thrust out a palm amid rolling thunder, and a thunderclap burst as he struck toward Ascending Wu Rong.

"The Ascending Wu Clan, don't push people around so far!"

The three elders of the Cloud Rising Sect had all benefited from Liu Chengfeng. How could they not stand up for him?

Fourth Elder and the others roared and blocked the Ascending Wu Clan's experts.

"Die!"

With the Ascending Wu Clan no longer in his way, Liu Chengfeng charged in front of Zhao Jinnian and struck with the Three Husbands Mountain-Blocking Tiger.

His vital energy roared. He moved like a fierce tiger, his sword force ferocious as it slashed toward Zhao Jinnian.

Without anyone backing him, Zhao Jinnian could only roar and raise his hammer to fight. His hammer came crashing down like a meteor.

With a bang, the Red Iron Sword shattered the hammer.

The sword's momentum remained like a fierce tiger charging down the mountain as it slashed toward Zhao Jinnian.

Zhao Jinnian roared, planted his feet on the earth, and shone with a precious light. With a flip of his hand, a shield appeared to protect him. He stood like a pillar, his body like a mountain.

A thunderous crash rang out as Zhao Jinnian blocked Liu Chengfeng's sword.

"I cultivate the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury. You think I'm afraid of you?"

After blocking one strike, Zhao Jinnian immediately found his courage. He flipped his other hand, a short sword gleaming coldly as he thrust it toward Liu Chengfeng.

Zhao Jinnian had apprenticed himself to the Wu Clan's Second Elder and received many benefits. He had finally broken through the Blood Sea Divine Treasury and begun cultivating the first stage of the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury.

"Wild Mountain Fierce Tiger Slash—"

This slash was an innate strike formed by merging the Three Husbands Sword Technique and the Wild Ox Hammer Technique!

Even if Zhao Jinnian had the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury, Liu Chengfeng was determined to kill him.

With a single roar, his Blood Sea churned and his true blood surged. His muscles swelled across his body, making him like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus.

The Red Iron Sword rang out as it came down, its force like a mountain, its tiger's roar long and clear.

Zhao Jinnian was full of confidence. With the first stage of the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury, he could withstand twenty thousand jin of force, and the Colored Bronze Shield in his hand was a weapon on the level of the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury.

How could a weapon on the level of the Blood Sea Divine Treasury in Liu Chengfeng's hand hurt him?

Zhao Jinnian had no idea that Liu Chengfeng cultivated an Innate Heart Method and practiced innate swordsmanship.

When Wild Mountain Fierce Tiger Slash came down, it carried thirty thousand jin of force.

The sword struck the Colored Bronze Shield. With a bang, the shield was knocked flying, and Zhao Jinnian was sent crashing backward too.

The Red Iron Sword could not withstand such force. It shattered instantly, leaving only half of the blade.

Zhao Jinnian spat out a mouthful of blood. Before he could get back up, Liu Chengfeng rushed over in a single stride.

Liu Chengfeng planted a foot on Zhao Jinnian's chest. His breastbone shattered, and blood gushed out.
