Chapter 46

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming did not dare delay. He immediately took out a medicinal pill and swallowed it, then waited quietly.

Within that forest, mountain ranges shrouded in black mist swayed continuously. Hidden within the mist were enormous skulls, each emanating a chilling, bone-deep cold beneath the sunlight.

This was Death Valley. Deep within Death Valley, Yun Ling was engaged in a fierce battle with some unknown Magical Beast. Although his strength had reached the peak of the nine-star Dou Spirit realm, he appeared far too weak before that Magical Beast and could only passively endure its attacks.

Roar!

Suddenly, an enormous roar rang out from afar. Then, an incomparably massive Magical Beast came striding through the air. Its entire body was pitch-black, like a war chariot forged from black iron. Dense black spikes covered its body, making it look exceptionally savage.

Awooo!

Upon seeing the Magical Beast, Yun Ling's face filled with gravity. But he soon gritted his teeth, and the Azure Edge Sword in his hand instantly expanded to around thirty meters long as he fiercely slashed at the black Magical Beast.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

At once, a series of metallic clashes rang out. Powerful gusts of force spread continuously, snapping the surrounding trees beneath their violent impact.

Awooo!

Beneath the soaring golden light, the Magical Beast also threw back its head and roared. Then it swung its black claws, striking toward Yun Ling.

Bang!

The two collided, and Yun Ling was sent flying hundreds of meters away. Yet the Magical Beast showed no sign of slowing its assault. After unleashing that palm strike, it continued pursuing him relentlessly.

Damn it, how could this thing possess such strength? Has it already broken through to the Dou Emperor realm? Yun Ling stared at the Magical Beast closing in on him, his heart filled with shock.

A Dou Emperor!

Even across the entire Jia Ma Empire, there were probably only a handful of Dou Kings capable of achieving that, right? After all, Dou Emperors differed from ordinary martial cultivators. Under normal circumstances, Dou Kings needed a long time to break through the Magical Beast Mountain Range—perhaps several years or even longer—whereas a Dou Emperor only needed a few days. This showed just how formidable a Dou Emperor was.

Damn it, no matter what, I must kill this thing today. Otherwise, there will be endless trouble in the future!

With that thought, Yun Ling no longer held back. He unleashed all his strength and charged fiercely at the black Magical Beast.

Boom!

Another earth-shaking collision erupted, and Yun Ling's body was once again flung backward.

Roar!

The black Magical Beast threw back its head and roared before charging at Yun Ling once more. It clearly intended to use this chance to kill him.

Damn it!

Seeing the black Magical Beast's relentless manner, Yun Ling could not help roaring in fury. His eyes turned bloodshot as he glared at the beast. "Since you refuse to show mercy, don't blame me for showing none!"

As his words fell, a vast surge of elemental energy suddenly erupted from Yun Ling's body. Amid those waves of energy, his body slowly rose into the air, and streams of azure light shot explosively from within him.

Rumble! Rumble!

The azure light swept through the air, transforming into two enormous azure swords over three hundred meters tall. Coiling around each giant sword was a dragon pattern glowing with azure radiance.

The azure glow surged, eventually forming two azure dragons coiled around the two giant swords.

Roar!

Seeing this, the black Magical Beast also roared toward the sky. It then raised its arm and fiercely chopped forward.

Crack!

When that enormous palm imprint crashed into the two azure dragons, both dragons were instantly cleaved in half and vanished immediately afterward.

"This... this... how is that possible?!"

Yun Ling was dumbfounded at the sight. Those two azure dragons were his ultimate trump card, usually used to guard Death Valley. Yet they had been forcibly split apart by this black Magical Beast. It was simply too unbelievable!

"Haha! Beast, you're dead!"

Seeing the two azure dragons forcibly destroyed by his opponent, a cruel curve lifted at Yun Ling's lips. He burst into laughter, and his body rapidly retreated again.

Roar!

However, before Yun Ling could stabilize himself, the black Magical Beast charged at him again. Its bloody maw snapped fiercely toward him.

"Hmph, you want to eat me? I won't let you!" Yun Ling sneered coldly. Then his body vanished strangely from where he stood, and the black Magical Beast's gaping jaws bit down on empty air.

"This... this..." Seeing this, the black Magical Beast's pupils contracted sharply. It clearly had not expected its attack to have no effect whatsoever.

"Hmph, you stupid pig, do you really think this old man fears you?"

Seeing the black Magical Beast's reaction, Yun Ling revealed a disdainful expression. Without hesitation, he lightly stepped on the air, turning into a streak of light as he shot forward.

Seeing this, the black Magical Beast narrowed its eyes. Its body suddenly swelled, growing to nearly ten meters tall before it charged to meet Yun Ling.

Rumble!

The giant palms collided, and the deafening sound echoed out. The tremendous impact destroyed all the surrounding grass, while thick cracks spread across the ground.

Pfft!

After exchanging that blow head-on with the black Magical Beast, Yun Ling was sent flying back. While still in midair, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Hmph, let's see how you escape this time!"

Yun Ling clutched his chest, his gaze icy as he looked at the enormous Magical Beast. Yet the beast appeared uninjured and even seemed eager for more. That previous strike had clearly done it no harm at all.

"You bastard, you're courting death!"

Yun Ling was thoroughly enraged. He was already covered in wounds, yet this creature still wanted to injure him. It was simply courting death. At a time like this, how could he possibly not kill it?

Roar!

Yet the black Magical Beast seemed not to understand. It merely roared toward the sky before charging at Yun Ling once more.

"You bastard, I'll send you on your way first!" Yun Ling stared darkly at the approaching black Magical Beast, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes. He clenched his hand into a fist and fiercely swung it at the black Magical Beast.

Bang! Bang!

As his giant palm swept out, streams of azure Dou Qi poured down upon the black Magical Beast like a violent storm.
