Wind-Thunder Golden-Eyed Beast Revives?
Yinshuo was able to get out of the maze so quickly mainly because he had some information about the maze and a bit of luck.
He had just stepped out of the maze when he encountered Jing Wuming, who was secretly watching the battle.
With the idea of reaping the benefits without fighting, the two did not start a fight as soon as they met, but instead tacitly hid to the side.
After a brief conversation, the two learned that Jing Wuming's purpose for this trip was to obtain the Demon Soul Spirit-Breaking Pill, while Yinshuo's goal was the Wind-Thunder Golden-Eyed Beast.
So the two hit it off and decided to cooperate temporarily, each getting what they needed.
The two arrived above the Corpse Coffin and each unleashed a burst of Law Power.
Yinshuo wanted to take away the corpse of the Wind-Thunder Golden-Eyed Beast, Jing Wuming wanted to seize the Pill Furnace.
However, the two encountered the same situation as Xing Gaohan had faced previously.
The Sha Qi emanating from the pillar shattered the Law Power of the two.
The two were clearly not prepared for this situation, and were slightly taken aback, even wanting to activate their magic Law Power again.
The phoenix spread its wings and flew in.
The vines burst through the air.
A desiccated corpse suddenly appeared in front of Yinshuo.
The mummified corpse was decaying, its body tattered and mangled.
The bones exposed from the mangled body gleamed with a faint golden light.
The mummified corpse exuded Sha Qi and lunged straight at the vine.
Jing Wuming's rather old-looking body suddenly swelled up, instantly becoming ten feet tall, his muscles bulging all over.
His left hand was clenched into a fist, the muscles in his arm were tense, and the veins were wrapped around his skin like ancient tree roots.
A gigantic ape phantom, tens of meters tall, appeared behind him.
"Break!"
Jing Wuming roared.
The giant ape phantom behind him seemed to receive a command and threw a punch from a distance.
In an instant, the force of the punch howled, like a sudden hurricane, fierce and incomparably powerful.
A gigantic fist, several meters in size, appeared out of thin air and pounced straight at the fire phoenix with overwhelming force.
The fire phoenix was struck by the phantom of the giant fist and let out a mournful cry.
Its body swayed slightly, and the flames dimmed a bit.
Jing Wuming was about to throw another punch, he suddenly caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye that Yinshuo had silently retreated several feet.
Yinshuo used a golden corpse to temporarily block Xing Wenyao's attack, while he took the opportunity to cast a spell on the stone coffin.
Several streams of Law Power surged from his body and shot into the Corpse Coffin.
Jing Wuming said coldly, "Sneaking around and engaging in petty theft is not the behavior of a Devil Master."
Yinshuo's expression remained unchanged. "Fellow Daoist Jing, rest assured. You just need to hold off Xing Gaohan. After breaking through the Sha Qi inside the stone coffin, I will only take the corpse of the Wind-Thunder Golden-Eyed Beast. The pills are yours."
Jing Wuming said coldly, "That's for the best!"
After saying that, he stopped paying attention to Yinshuo and focused on fighting Xing Gaohan.
If Yinshuo dares to break his promise and keep the Demon Beast's corpse and pills for himself, Jing Wuming turn against him, and Yinshuo will face the siege of three Nascent Soul Cultivators at the same time, which is basically tantamount to courting death.
Jing Wuming believed that Yinshuo, with his wisdom and character, would not do such a foolish thing.
"Jing Wuming, you have actually betrayed the friendship between the Xing and Jing families that has lasted for many years, and colluded with that fiend Yinshuo!" Xing Gaohan shouted sternly.
He and Xing Wenyao suffered significant losses of Law Power during their battle with the two demons.
Moreover, both Jing Wuming and Yinshuo possessed Divine Sense defense Law Treasure, making it difficult for the <Soul-Concentrating Spike> to harm them.
Furthermore, Xing Wenyao only has Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivation level, while Jing Wuming and Yinshuo both have Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation level. In terms of cultivation, the two members of the Xing Family are at a disadvantage.
Unable to defeat him militarily, Xing Gaohan could only resort to reasoning with him.
Jing Wuming smiled indifferently, his tone full of disdain.
"Xing Gaohan, you and I have both cultivated for hundreds of years. Why utter such childish words? Friendship between our two races? What is that? Can it enhance our cultivation or extend our lifespan?"
Xing Gaohan stared at Yinshuo, who was casting a spell on the stone coffin, his teeth clenched with hatred, yet he was helpless.
"Jing Wuming, how dare you make a deal with that old monster Yinshuo? Don't end up not only failing to get the treasure, but also being poisoned by Yinshuo behind your back."
Jing Wuming ignored Xing Gaohan; all he needed to do was stall him.
He glanced at Yinshuo behind him and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Yinshuo, how much longer? Why are you still unable to dispel the Sha Qi on the stone pillar?"
Yinshuo said, "This Sha Qi energy is inexhaustible and quite troublesome. Give me a little more time."
"Hmph!" Jing Wuming snorted coldly in dissatisfaction.
The four Human Race Nascent Soul Cultivator were locked in fierce combat, but no one noticed the changes in the two demons.
The Profound Yin Heavy Water on the ground had disappeared; it was unknown how Yuan Hao had secretly absorbed it into his body.
The remaining fire poison in Yuan Hao's body was dispelled by the Profound Yin Heavy Water, and his injuries recovered considerably.
Just to avoid attracting the attention of the four Human Race, its exterior remained charred black.
The Wind Eagle, riddled with holes from the vines and wounded by a sword in the back, dragged its heavily injured body and quietly left the cave, disappearing without a trace.
Suddenly.
Blood-red lines spread across the stone pillar that reached the ceiling of the cave.
The entire stone pillar was quickly stained with a bewitching crimson color.
The intense Sha Qi within the stone pillar suddenly went out of control and burst forth.
Yinshuo was closest to the stone pillar, and without realizing it, he was the first to be struck by the Sha Qi.
Although the Sha Qi was immense, it was not directed at Yinshuo.
Yinshuo was only pushed back a few feet by the Sha Qi before regaining his footing.
The sudden change naturally attracted the attention of the other three.
"What happened?" Jing Wuming turned around and asked.
The stone pillar continued to spew forth Sha Qi, causing Yinshuo's clothes to flutter wildly.
"I don't know either. It seems that the formation on this stone pillar was broken, causing the Sha Qi sealed within to leak out."
Jing Wuming, "If it wasn't you? Could there be someone else here?"
Yinshuo shook his head and did not answer.
He took out a long whip, and with a flick of his wrist, it shot out like a serpent, probing into the stone coffin.
Just as the long whip was about to wrap around the head of the Wind-Thunder Golden-Eyed Beast, it was abruptly deflected by the violent Corpse-Baleful Qi.
Just as Yinshuo was about to make another move, the stone pillar suddenly trembled.
His eyes suddenly widened, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
Suddenly, one of the Wind-Thunder Golden-Eyed Beast's front hooves trembled slightly, even though it should have been dead for tens of thousands of years.
As the forelegs swayed, the thick chain deeply embedded in them also swayed, making a dull sound.
The Wind-Thunder Golden-Eyed Beast suddenly opened its eyes. They were blood-red pupils, devoid of any emotion, like flames in the abyss, staring into the endless darkness, revealing a chilling indifference and ruthlessness.
The sudden change caused Yinshuo to instinctively retreat, his eyes fixed on the stone coffin.
The other three also stopped fighting and focused their attention on the changes in the Wind-Thunder Golden-Eyed Beast.
"Splash..."
The four chains began to shake violently, making a continuous creaking sound as they rubbed against the ground.
The Wind-Thunder Golden-Eyed Beast moved all four hooves together, then planted itself on the ground, struggling to stand up.
As if it had been asleep for too long, or perhaps the stone pillar pressing down on it was too heavy, the Wind-Thunder Golden-Eyed Beast tried several times but was unable to get up.
The Wind-Thunder Golden-Eyed Beast shifted its eyes, as if it had thought of something.
A surge of immense soul power erupted from its body, filling the stone coffin.
The ancient stone coffin seemed to be activated by soul power, with silver runes appearing inside and outside the coffin. These runes gradually spread and extended to the entire platform.
Atop the high platform, a brilliant silver light shone.
