Slaying a World Lord-Level Ferocious Beast

Zhou Yuan swung the Zhenkong Blade for the third time and met the attack head-on. His Zhenkong Slash had become increasingly refined, each strike containing the power of two Laws and possessing immense might. Even a third-stage World Lord ferocious beast could not withstand it easily.

However, this third-stage World Lord ferocious beast was far stronger than Zhou Yuan had imagined. Both its attack speed and power had reached the extreme. No matter how formidable Zhou Yuan's Zhenkong Slash was, he could not completely suppress its attacks.

"Whoosh!" The ferocious beast's tail suddenly whipped out, carrying a howling gust as it shot straight for Zhou Yuan's back. The strike was incredibly fast and terrifyingly powerful. Even if Zhou Yuan wanted to evade, it was already too late.

"Pfft!" The ferocious beast's tail lashed viciously across Zhou Yuan's back. He felt an enormous force crash into him from behind, making him spit out a mouthful of blood as his body flew forward uncontrollably. Fortunately, his fifth-tier origin force battle suit absorbed most of the damage. Otherwise, Zhou Yuan would never have been able to endure the blow.

What tremendous strength! What a fast tail. Zhou Yuan's eyes flashed with surprise. He could clearly sense that this ferocious beast was far stronger than he had expected. Even his Zhenkong Slash could not defeat it easily.

"Roar!" The ferocious beast let out an enraged roar and shot toward Zhou Yuan like lightning. Rather than continuing to evade, it intended to settle the battle in close combat.

Its limbs were thick and powerful, and every step distorted the surrounding space, clearly containing terrifying strength. At the same time, its tail continued to whip through the air with howling winds, targeting Zhou Yuan's vital points.

Zhou Yuan's gaze sharpened. He knew this was a battle of life and death, and he had to go all out. Instead of dodging, he directly swung the Zhenkong Blade and charged forward.

His Zhenkong Slash drew upon the heaviness and suppressive intent of the Earth Origin Law, as well as the sealing intent within the Space Origin Law. Once unleashed, the strike made it difficult for an opponent to evade. Layered with the heaviness of earth, it was even more suited to a direct clash.

"Zhenkong Slash!" Zhou Yuan roared, pouring all the origin force in his body and both Laws into the Zhenkong Blade. The earth-type and spatial secret runes on the blade instantly shone to their utmost brilliance. A terrifying power surged from the blade, and the surrounding space began to tremble violently.

He stood in place like an immovable mountain, the Zhenkong Blade in his hand swinging without pause. The blade formed an enormous Law domain, and endless gravity and spatial power suppressed the surrounding space.

The ferocious beast clearly had not expected Zhou Yuan to suddenly unleash such terrifying power. It was already too late to defend. It found its body firmly suppressed by an invisible force, making movement extraordinarily difficult, as though it had fallen into a mire.

"Roar!" The ferocious beast let out an enraged roar and fully activated the Wind Origin Law within its body, trying to break free from Zhou Yuan's seal. Its tail whipped out again with a howling gale, striking directly at Zhou Yuan's back. The blow was incredibly fast and terrifyingly powerful, clearly one of its killing moves.

Zhou Yuan's Zhenkong Blade swept out with a howling gust. The strike was incredibly fast and terrifyingly powerful, warping the surrounding space as it chopped directly into the ferocious beast's tail. The tail's defenses were not as tough as its horn, and Zhou Yuan's strike shattered the scales on its tail.

The injury to its tail made the ferocious beast even more savage. Its origin force erupted, and with the reinforcement of the Wind Origin Law, it broke through the suppression of Zhou Yuan's Zhenkong Slash. The horn atop its head stabbed toward Zhou Yuan's chest again.

This attack was even faster and more terrifyingly powerful. The surrounding space was faintly distorted by the thrust, clearly marking it as its ultimate move.

"Zhenkong Slash!" Zhou Yuan roared, and the Zhenkong Blade howled through the air as it released a blade aura containing the ultimate power of two Laws, aimed directly at the ferocious beast's head.

"Boom!" The blade aura collided with the ferocious beast's horn once more, producing an earth-shaking explosion. Zhou Yuan felt an enormous force travel through the blade, forcing him back tens of thousands of meters. The ferocious beast, meanwhile, remained completely still, clearly far stronger than him in raw power.

What tremendous strength! Zhou Yuan began adjusting his tactics. He knew he was no match in a direct clash. He had to make use of his movement technique and the advantages of his Laws to find the ferocious beast's weakness.

Zhou Yuan flashed and appeared behind the ferocious beast once more, slashing the Zhenkong Blade at its hind leg. The strike was incredibly fast and powerful, but when it struck the hind leg, it left only a shallow mark on the scales without even cutting through them.

What tough defenses! Zhou Yuan was even more astonished. He could clearly sense that the surface of the ferocious beast's scales was covered by a powerful defensive layer of the Wind Origin Law. Ordinary attacks could not break through it at all. Only Zhenkong Slash could shatter the scales' formidable defenses.

It looks like I can only keep using Zhenkong Slash to wear it down. Zhou Yuan swung the Zhenkong Blade again, releasing blade auras infused with the power of two Laws one after another, each aimed at the ferocious beast's vital points.

Sensing Zhou Yuan's attacks, the ferocious beast suddenly let out an enraged roar and fully activated the Wind Origin Law within its body. Terrifying cyan wind Law fluctuations erupted from its body, and the surrounding space began to shake violently. It was clearly making its final struggle.

It suddenly raised a front hoof and stomped toward Zhou Yuan's chest. Its enormous body descended like a small mountain, carrying terrifying force. At the same time, its tail continued to whip through the air with howling winds, its tip stabbing straight at Zhou Yuan's vital points.

Its head and tail support each other. I should sever its tail first. Zhou Yuan looked at the spot on the ferocious beast's tail where his Zhenkong Slash had just stripped away its scales.

"Now!" Zhou Yuan roared. The instant the ferocious beast's tail attacked before him, he used Zhenkong Slash again and chopped at the wound on its tail. The ferocious beast's tail was severed in a single strike, and victory was already assured.

"Roar!" The injured ferocious beast let out a furious roar. The horn atop its head shot toward Zhou Yuan's chest with a howling gale, while the secret runes across all its scales erupted. The strike was incredibly fast and terrifyingly powerful, clearly one of its killing moves.

Zhou Yuan's gaze hardened. He knew this was the decisive move, and he had to give it everything he had. The secret runes on the Zhenkong Blade were activated to the utmost limit.

"Zhenkong Slash!" With the first strike, Zhou Yuan did not clash head-on. Instead, he used the suppressive effect of Zhenkong Slash to slow the ferocious beast and trap it within the suppression domain.

"Zhenkong Slash!" With the second strike, Zhou Yuan used the control from the first slash to sidestep the ferocious beast's horn and chop at its neck, splitting apart the scales there.

"Zhenkong Slash!" With the third strike, Zhou Yuan once again used the control from the second Zhenkong Slash to catch up to the ferocious beast and chop at the exact same spot.

"Crack!" A crisp sound of breaking bones rang out. The ferocious beast's head was sent flying, while its enormous body crashed down and continued twitching in space.

The ferocious beast controlled its head with its consciousness, trying to fly it back and reconnect it to its body. Zhou Yuan caught up to the head and thrust his blade into the severed opening, shattering the life core inside.

Zhou Yuan panted heavily, his body covered in wounds. Clearly, he had paid no small price in this battle as well.

If even this ferocious beast was so hard to kill, wouldn't intelligent life like the Demon Race, which knows how to relocate its life core, be even harder to kill? Zhou Yuan panted as he looked at the dead ferocious beast before him. His body was covered in wounds, and he had clearly paid no small price in this battle as well.
