Heaven-Eye Demon-Slaying Light, Wild Prison Heaven-King Force, Sword Qi, Thunder Seal!

A magical beast already extinct on the Dou Qi Continent.

Such beasts are generally terrifying, both in terms of raw strength and bloodline.

"However, this beast shouldn't be a remnant from the ancient era; otherwise, it wouldn't only possess the strength of an eighth-rank," Heaven Eye Pupil Elder said with a grave expression.

Yet, even so, facing an eighth-rank magical beast was by no means something they could easily resolve, especially since this beast was of an extinct species.

Compared to an ordinary eighth-rank magical beast, its strength was absolutely formidable.

"Then I shall leave it to you three seniors."

Shen Shihuang took a slight step back.

Leaving the battlefield to the three peak nine-star Dou Zongs, Shen Shihuang was not foolish enough to intervene against a beast comparable to a Dou Zun. What if this eighth-rank beast was actually comparable to a peak Dou Zun?

What difference would it make if he went up there, other than throwing his life away?

Therefore.

If the three peak nine-star Dou Zong seniors couldn't handle it, he would have no choice but to... run for it.

A pair of bone wings sprang from Shen Shihuang's back. Infused with the power of lightning, his Taisui Bone Wings faintly crackled with electrical energy.

Seeing Shen Shihuang's actions and the pair of wings on his back, Heaven Eye Pupil Elder, though unfamiliar with the wings themselves, understood perfectly well that Shen Shihuang was preparing to flee.

Heaven Eye Pupil Elder suppressed the twitching of her eyelids, sighing inwardly, Young people these days lack any sense of vigor.

Back in their own era.

The youth were all quite daring.

Unlike now.

Upon encountering danger, they retreated first, leaving the peril to their seniors.

Sigh!

As Heaven Eye Pupil Elder thought this, she suddenly felt depressed. The era when the youth fought desperately was their own era; now that the youth left danger to their seniors, it seemed that was also their own generation.

Heaven Eye Pupil Elder: "...!"

Suddenly.

The Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python let out a low growl at Heaven Eye Pupil Elder and the other two. The black mist surrounding its body grew even denser, and a beam of black light erupted from its maw.

The target was none other than Heaven Eye Pupil Elder and her companions.

Clearly, the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python also knew who posed the greatest threat.

"Gai Shentong, Chu Shanwang, move!"

Heaven Eye Pupil Elder shouted, light flashing in her eyes. A terrifying force rippled through the air, sweeping toward the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python's attack.

Gai Shentong's gray robes billowed as his hands moved in a rapid seal, and a massive golden sword quickly manifested in the air.

"Sword Qi!"

Whoosh!

The giant golden sword seemed to tear through space itself as it flew toward the head of the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python.

"Hmph!"

Chu Shanwang let out a muffled grunt, leaping into the air and arriving above the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python in an instant. "An exotic species from the ancient era—you won't be making any waves in this day and age!"

Unlike the attack methods of Heaven Eye Pupil Elder and Gai Shentong.

Chu Shanwang delivered a direct kick to the head of the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python.

"Wild Prison Heaven-King Force!"

BOOM!!

In Shen Shihuang's view, he saw the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python kicked into the ground by Chu Shanwang. Its massive head slammed into the earth, causing the entire plaza to tremble.

At this moment.

Gai Shentong's golden sword also reached the head of the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python.

"Sword Qi Split!"

Whoosh! Whoosh!!

As Gai Shentong formed a seal with his hands, the massive golden sword rapidly split apart above the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python, transforming into seven standard-sized golden swords.

Swish!

Swish!!

The seven golden swords descended upon the head of the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python. Each strike shattered its scales, and clouds of blood mist erupted from its head.

At this time.

Heaven Eye Pupil Elder blocked the black light beam from the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python and leaped up, light blazing between her hands.

"This beast's strength is roughly at the early eighth-rank."

"With the three of us working together, we can definitely handle it!"

The previous attack had allowed Heaven Eye Pupil Elder to gauge the strength of the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python; had it possessed power comparable to a five-star Dou Zun or higher, they might truly have been unable to handle it.

But now, he was completely confident.

"Heavenly Eye Open!"

"Heaven-Eye Demon-Slaying Light!"

Heaven Eye Pupil Elder closed his eyes, and a blood-red fissure slowly opened upon his forehead, resembling a deep abyss of blood or perhaps a demonic eye.

Whoosh!!

A blood-colored radiance erupted from the forehead of Heaven Eye Pupil Elder. The crimson light was like a beam of destruction, and wherever it passed, even space itself developed tiny cracks.

To unleash such a terrifying Dou Technique with the strength of a Dou Zong was enough to prove the terrifying nature of Heaven Eye Pupil Elder's power.

"As expected of Heaven Eye Pupil Elder!"

"This Dou Technique is simply terrifying!"

Shen Shihuang sighed in admiration, for this Dou Technique of Heaven Eye Pupil Elder not only possessed offensive power but also held the ability to pierce the soul; in other words, this Heavenly Eye technique possessed a dual-attack capability.

"One truly cannot underestimate the experts of the older generation." Shen Shihuang finally understood that none of these reclusive fellows were simple characters.

But thinking about it, it made sense; being able to live in quiet seclusion was proof enough of their strength. Who in the Black-Corner Region didn't have rivals? If you wanted to live in quiet seclusion, those rivals either had to cease being rivals, or you had to eliminate them all.

The blood-colored light struck the neck of the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python. In an instant, blood bloomed; the scales, which appeared extremely tough, offered no resistance at all.

"ROAR~~~~~~~~~~!"

Stung by the pain, the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python let out a roar toward the sky. Its massive body began to roll, and its python tail swept toward Heaven Eye Pupil Elder like a divine weapon.

Seeing this, Heaven Eye Pupil Elder quickly dodged.

However.

The body of the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python was too massive. Shen Shihuang estimated its length to be around fifteen zhang. The python tail missed its mark but did not stop; carrying immense power, it arrived right in front of Shen Shihuang and his companions.

"Holy crap!!"

Shen Shihuang saw this.

His expression changed.

The power carried by the python tail alone made him feel a stinging pain, let alone taking a direct hit.

He shoved Zi Yan away.

The Earth-Suppressing Heaven-Supporting Staff appeared in Shen Shihuang's hands, and Taisui Flame surged upward. Watching the python tail arrive before him, Shen Shihuang unceremoniously gripped the Earth-Suppressing Heaven-Supporting Staff and smashed it down fiercely.

"Get lost!!"

Shen Shihuang let out a low roar.

The power on the Earth-Suppressing Heaven-Supporting Staff increased instantly. At the point of impact with the python tail, the scales of the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python burst apart, and blood splattered all over Shen Shihuang, leaving him standing there as if bathed in blood.

BOOM!!

With this one strike from Shen Shihuang, he actually knocked the entire body of the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python over. As it flipped across the plaza, the gaze of the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python locked onto Shen Shihuang.

ROAR~~~~~~~~~~

The Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python let out a roar, its power erupting completely. After forcing Heaven Eye Pupil Elder and the others back, its massive body arrived before Shen Shihuang in an instant.

Shen Shihuang saw this.

His expression changed drastically.

He was absolutely no match for a magical beast of this caliber.

"Heavenly Dipper Thunder Seal!"

Seeing the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python arrive before him, lightning flickered between Shen Shihuang's hands, and the Thunder Seal appeared above his head.

"Blow you to bits!!"

Shen Shihuang raised the Thunder Seal with both hands and smashed it toward the mouth of the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python.
