After spending several years in the chaos beyond the realm, Qingqiu Li and Red Cloud successfully severed their evil corpses and entered the mid stage of the corpse-severing realm—the mid stage of the Quasi-Saint realm.
Without counting the boosts from spiritual treasures and supreme treasures, this level of cultivation was already considered the pinnacle of combat power beneath the Saints in the Primordial World.
Even the Thunder Beast mother and son no longer held any advantage against them at the mid stage of the Quasi-Saint realm. Once these Chaos Behemoths reached adulthood, their cultivation could rapidly attain the early stage of the Quasi-Saint realm. But after that, their cultivation would stagnate.
During the early days of the Primordial World, this advantage had been extremely obvious.
But by the middle period of the Primordial World—the current era—as Quasi-Saint experts gradually became more numerous, their weakness had begun to show.
Sensing Qingqiu Li and Red Cloud's explosive increase in cultivation and realizing she could no longer suppress them, the mother Thunder Beast swept Wu Chu with her fluffy giant tail, nearly as long as her body, and sent him a divine-sense message in a muffled voice. "Didn't you say you would help us grow stronger?"
"..."
Wu Chu recalled that when he had been sweet-talking this mother Thunder Beast, he did seem to have said quite a few things like that. He had not expected her to remember them all this time.
He could only give a light cough and secretly reply, "Don't worry. Once I become a Saint, you'll be a guardian divine beast of a Saint. Who would dare touch you?"
"..."
This time, it was the mother Thunder Beast's turn to stare dumbfounded.
After a long while, she unhappily swept him with her giant tail. Liar! Big liar!
