Roaring Beast

"Kill..." Yuanzi said leisurely, watching, and with a wave of his hand, he gave a low command.

"Yes..." Dozens of green wood humanoids replied softly, wielding their weapons and pouncing towards the Toad Faced Toad.

How could Xiao Hua have ever witnessed such methods from Yuanzi? It was truly a case of "every blade of grass and tree can be turned into a soldier"!

"Excellent, these are the true methods of an Immortal!" Xiao Hua watched with great satisfaction, his heart filled with awe. He couldn't help but praise inwardly, "Look at Yuanzi, facing such a formidable Toad Faced Toad, he doesn't even use any Immortal Artifacts, and with just a wave of his hand, he forces the Toad Faced Toad into a corner. Unlike Chu Yu, that Mortal Immortal, whose every move is from the mortal realm, practically throwing out all his Immortal Artifacts. As for myself, although I have now entered the Immortal Realm, my methods are no different from Chu Yu's. How can I still claim to be an Immortal? I should just watch how the old monster performs and learn from it..."

Poor Xiao Hua, having just entered the Immortal Realm in his Nascent Soul Body, how could he know that Yuanzi's techniques were merely introductory? Which of the truly accomplished Immortals couldn't command millions of soldiers with a wave of their hand, manipulating all sorts of wondrous techniques at will!

The green wood humanoids were far more powerful than the soldier puppets and general puppets Xiao Hua had seen in the mortal realm. The Toad Faced Toad's croaks and flames continued unabated, and its claws still swiped out from time to time. Although a few green wood humanoids were struck down, the Toad Faced Toad was already injured!

Yuanzi merely watched with his arms crossed, enjoying the spectacle.

Seeing the Toad Faced Toad's eyes turn as red as blood, Xiao Hua thought, "Brother Toad is about to use his final move!"

"Giggle..." Suddenly, from the Toad Faced Toad's lower jaw, the mark resembling a woman's face floated out of thin air. As it trembled, it emitted laughter similar to that of a woman. This laughter was no trivial matter; the Soul Suppressing Bell around Xiao Hua's neck rang out "dinglingling," while Jing Sheng's Soul Suppressing Bell shattered with a "bang," turning into powder.

Looking at the once majestic green wood humanoids, a series of "puff puff puff" sounds erupted as they all turned into dust. Within that dust, dozens of faint, ethereal humanoids appeared, looking dazed and lost!

"Spirit Bodies??" Xiao Hua's gaze swept over them, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He instantly understood the origin of Yuanzi's peculiar Immortal technique. If nothing unexpected happened, Yuanzi must have captured these Spirit Bodies and refined them, thus achieving the wondrous method of turning beans into soldiers!

"Not good!" The Toad Faced Toad's counterattack was too sudden, and Yuanzi was caught off guard. Seeing the true forms of the Spirit Bodies revealed, he cursed inwardly and casually threw out the peachwood sword in his hand!

As the peachwood sword left his hand, "swish," countless peach blossoms bloomed around the Toad Faced Toad, covering a thousand-zhang radius. "Wuwuwu..." Although the peach blossoms were like brocade, the Toad Faced Toad seemed to sense danger and quickly spewed out flames. The mark resembling a woman's face also cackled madly, "Giggle." Xiao Hua didn't feel anything, but Jing Sheng suddenly fell from mid-air with a "plop"!

Just as Xiao Hua was about to fly over to assist, "buzz..." the thousand-zhang space trembled, and countless peach blossoms condensed into a hundred-zhang sword light that strangely pierced through the Toad Faced Toad's body!

"What... what kind of flying sword technique is this?" Seeing the sword light suddenly appear, as if he hadn't seen the process of the sword light piercing the Toad Faced Toad, Xiao Hua exclaimed in disbelief again.

"Fortunately..." Yuanzi smiled slightly, raised a finger, and the flying peachwood sword returned. The peach blossom sword light that had pierced the Toad Faced Toad also vanished abruptly. He said, "It didn't injure the Toad Face Mark, so my trip was not in vain."

As he spoke, Yuanzi raised his hand again, and a gray-white Immortal Talisman flew out, landing precisely on the Toad Faced Toad's head. The talisman flashed with light, and the massive corpse of the Toad Faced Toad rapidly shrank, eventually becoming fist-sized and falling into Yuanzi's hand.

After collecting the talisman, Yuanzi looked somewhat regretfully at the dozens of listless Spirit Bodies around him. With a sweep of his large hand, these Spirit Bodies shrunk into bean-sized specks and disappeared.

"Useless things!" Yuanzi looked down at Jing Sheng, who had fallen to the ground, and blew a gentle breath. Jing Sheng's body flew up like paper. When he landed before Yuanzi, Yuanzi raised a finger and pointed it precisely at Jing Sheng's forehead. Jing Sheng opened his eyes as if waking from a dream, looked around, and quickly bowed, "Thank you, Senior!"

Yuanzi did not pay attention to Jing Sheng. He merely looked up towards the east, where the sky was cast in gold. A golden Guijing Sun had just peeked its head out.

"The Guijing Sun has actually appeared. I've wasted a lot of time!" Yuanzi whispered somewhat forlornly as he faced the Guijing Sun. Then, he looked at Xiao Hua and Jing Sheng and said, "Let's go and see what treasures the Toad Faced Toad was guarding!"

To the surprise of Xiao Hua and the others, there were no treasures in the Toad Faced Toad's lair, only three beast eggs, each about a zhang in size. Two of the beast eggs were crystal clear and golden in color, instantly pleasing to the eye. The remaining one was covered in purple stripes, with some distorted cracks between the stripes.

"Huh?" Yuanzi raised a finger, and the purple-striped beast egg floated before him. He examined it carefully and asked curiously, "Why does this beast egg look similar to a Roaring Beast's egg?"

"Roaring Beast?" Xiao Hua was confused but didn't ask.

"Reporting to Senior..." Jing Sheng smiled and said, "Junior remembers that a Roaring Beast's egg is elongated. This beast egg is clearly oval."

"I'm talking about the patterns on this beast egg!" Yuanzi glared at Jing Sheng impatiently and said, "The surface of a Roaring Beast is covered in these patterns. The deeper the patterns, the more powerful the spatial roar it can induce."

"Then this beast egg?" Jing Sheng's eyes lit up, and he looked at the beast egg with some longing, tentatively asking.

"You want it?" Yuanzi smiled slightly and handed the beast egg to Jing Sheng. He said, "There are three beast eggs, and the three of us will each take one. I was having trouble deciding who to give this dead egg to..."

"No, no..." Jing Sheng was stunned. After realizing what was happening, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Junior was just curious. Junior had discussed this with Senior Hu before, and he had promised Junior that if there were any extra beast eggs in the Toad Faced Toad's lair, he would let Junior pick one."

"Fellow Immortal Jing..." Xiao Hua couldn't help but argue, "When Chu Yu brought the Mie Die Blood in earlier, you promised..."

Before Xiao Hua could finish, Jing Sheng interrupted him, "The question is, did you bring it at that time?"

"I..." Xiao Hua was momentarily speechless. At that time, he was desperately fleeing, how could he have slipped back into the cave?

"Besides!" Jing Sheng exposed Xiao Hua's identity and said, "This Immortal friend, all the arrangements here were agreed upon by Jing and Fellow Immortal Chu. You've taken Fellow Immortal Chu's place and benefited from it, so let it be. Jing and Fellow Immortal Chu are not friends who would risk their lives for each other. Whatever happened between you two, Jing and Senior Yuanzi will not concern themselves with it."

"Oh?" Yuanzi responded with interest and looked at Xiao Hua again, but said nothing more.

"Alright!" Xiao Hua thought for a moment and said, "I want this dead egg!"

Yuanzi and Jing Sheng were naturally overjoyed. Xiao Hua, holding the dead egg, was somewhat displeased and flew out of the cave first without a word. Yuanzi paid no attention to Xiao Hua, as they would be parting ways after leaving the cave. However, as Yuanzi flew out of the cave, he said somewhat curiously to Jing Sheng, who was following closely behind him, "I feel something is not right. The Toad Faced Toad doesn't stay without a reason. If it was here, there must be some treasure nearby!"

"This..." Jing Sheng also smiled and said, "Indeed, but this cave only has one path..."

Before Jing Sheng could finish, Yuanzi suddenly turned his head and exclaimed at a section of the stone wall, "I... I know!"

Xiao Hua and Jing Sheng were both startled and stopped. At this moment, from the stone wall Yuanzi was looking at, a strange beast about a hundred zhang in size slowly stepped out! This beast was covered in purple stripes and had a pair of fleshy wings. On its nearly triangular head, a pair of golden eyes stared fixedly at the three of them, and an aura of near destruction instantly enveloped the entire cave.

"Roaring Beast?" Jing Sheng exclaimed and turned to flee.

Unfortunately, as soon as the Roaring Beast stepped out, the space within the entire cave began to churn and roar like boiling water. Countless purple circles of various sizes emerged.

Just as Jing Sheng exclaimed, "Boom boom boom..." the entire cave flashed with purple light, and all the purple circles exploded.

"Space power??" Xiao Hua truly felt like dying. The space power that could only be mastered by a Mahayana cultivator crossing tribulation in the mortal realm could be used by an Immortal Beast in the Immortal Realm.

"Vermin..." Yuanzi slapped his forehead, and silver light erupted around him. The powerful spatial explosions of the purple circles only caused the silver light around Yuanzi to flicker violently.

As for Yuanzi, Jing Sheng fared even worse. As he tried to propel himself forward, spatial explosions erupted in front of him, startling him into dodging. After he had flown a few zhang, with a few "boom boom" explosions, several purple flashes beneath his feet blew off Jing Sheng's legs.

Seeing his flesh and blood splattered, Jing Sheng gritted his teeth and reached out, intending to retrieve a protective treasure from his Hundred-Gathering Bag.

"Boom boom boom..." A series of explosions, to the left and right, and even several erupting within his body, instantly blew Jing Sheng's physical body to smithereens.

"Jiji..." A solidified Nascent Soul flew out from Jing Sheng's shattered body, and as it was about to flee, "boom boom," several purple lights flashed nearby, and the Nascent Soul turned into dust.

Jing Sheng's Nascent Soul was naturally no match for Xiao Hua's. Xiao Hua had flown earlier and reacted faster, sensing the danger and immediately fleeing. The Roaring Beast was far from Xiao Hua, and the spatial bubble sealing him was sparse. If Xiao Hua still had his physical body, he might not have feared this spatial explosion. Unfortunately, Xiao Hua was not what he used to be. Not only was his Nascent Soul Body somewhat delicate, but his escape techniques were also clumsy. Although he tried his best to flee, the spatial explosions still injured him. Not only was his infant body wounded, but even his black robes that covered him were torn.

At this moment, Xiao Hua couldn't care about these things. He fled for his life, but just as he flew out of the cave entrance, a terrifying aura suddenly emerged again...
