Qian Fan and Lao Qi quickly gathered their thoughts and braced themselves for battle.
The rumbling drew closer and closer. A massive Demon Beast radiating an evil aura smashed through the castle's outer wall and appeared before them.
The Demon Beast was an evil creation born from the distortion of the power of cause and effect, and its very existence defied the natural laws of causality. Qian Fan circulated the power of cause and effect, trying to locate the causal nexus of its birth so he could unravel it. Lao Qi held his Magic Treasure, ready to attack at any moment.
The Demon Beast resembled a qilin, but it had three thick tails. Each was like an enormous iron rod, covered in sharp barbs that glinted with a chilling light. Its eyes resembled two blazing, blood-red flames, filled with brutality and madness. Serrated fangs lined its gaping, blood-drenched maw, constantly dripping foul-smelling green slime.
Qian Fan kept his gaze fixed on the Demon Beast, focusing all his attention on the flow of cause and effect around him. He discovered that its birth seemed connected to a dark power once sealed within the castle.
Many years ago, a powerful cultivator had sealed this dark power deep beneath the castle to prevent it from ravaging Ancient Ruins City.
However, as time passed, subtle changes within the castle had upset the seal's balance. The dark power had leaked out, becoming entangled with and distorting the surrounding power of cause and effect, ultimately giving birth to this evil Demon Beast.
"Lao Qi, this Demon Beast was born from the distortion of dark power and the power of cause and effect. We need to find a way to sever its connection to the dark power!" Qian Fan called out as he observed it.
