Annihilation! Fourth-Order Fierce Beast!

Compared to First-Order and Second-Order Fierce Beasts, Third-Order Fierce Beasts were far more durable. They could also use certain Innate Treasure Techniques, gathering the Power of Heaven and Earth to launch attacks—flames, wind blades, lightning, and the like—all of which contained a rudimentary aura of Dao Laws.

Innate Treasure Techniques were naturally conceived by Fierce Beasts, so their power was naturally not to be underestimated. Unlike Innate Divine Techniques, which came from inheritances and were offensive arts that had already reached their peak, Innate Treasure Techniques were more like seedlings of Innate Divine Techniques. Only through constant tempering could they grow into towering trees and become true Innate Divine Techniques.

Once an Innate Treasure Technique became an Innate Divine Technique, it would inevitably contain a Dao that had reached its pinnacle, possessing either extremely terrifying killing power or immensely formidable might.

Boom!

"Sky Swallowing Fist!"

Taishu Yun's fists glowed with a dim gray light. A huge vortex formed before his fists, exuding an aura that devoured everything. Vaguely, the phantom of a Sky Swallowing Howl could be seen rising and sinking within it.

His fists were icy as the gray vortex swept forth, like a Sky Swallowing Howl howling at the moon, swallowing heaven and devouring earth. In an instant, it consumed all hundred-plus Third-Order Fierce Beasts, leaving not even bones behind.

"This power isn't bad."

A myriad of arrows filled the sky, falling like a dense rain of arrows and nailing Fierce Beasts to the ground one after another. After calmly dealing with some of the Fierce Beasts charging at him, Taishu Jing turned back to glance at Taishu Yun's Sky Swallowing Fist, surprise flickering across his face.

From that Sky Swallowing Fist, Taishu Jing sensed a powerful devouring force. It could devour not only spiritual energy and vital essence, but living beings and all things as well.

"Eh!"

After the brothers Taishu Yun and Taishu Jing had swept through more than half the Third-Order Fierce Beasts with overwhelming force, the remaining Third-Order Fierce Beasts joined forces and gathered together. Vast spiritual energy condensed as the radiance of various treasure techniques bloomed from their bodies in a dazzling riot of colors.

"Brother, let me take this attack."

Taishu Jing looked at Taishu Yun. Black and white appeared in his eyes as spiritual power surged through his body. His platinum spiritual power was dyed black and white. He stepped in front of Taishu Yun and extended one hand. Spiritual power churned in his palm as ten thousand black and ten thousand white Dao Law Runes—nearly twenty thousand in total—emerged amid the light, releasing the aura of yin and yang, life and death.

The Yin Yang Life Death Diagram slowly expanded in his hand and spun outward, blocking the brothers like a shield. Within it, the black and white fish connected head to tail, endlessly chasing one another.

"Jing, I'll leave it to you." Taishu Yun casually shook the Beast Blood from his hand and chuckled.

Whoosh!

Countless Innate Treasure Techniques shot toward the two brothers. Lightning, storms, flames, moonlight... innumerable forces of nature containing spiritual power gathered into a torrent and charged straight at them. Wherever it passed, the ground cracked apart, leaving behind a great ravine.

Sizzle!

The thirty-foot Yin Yang Life Death Diagram collided with the massive torrent of attacks. There was no thunderous explosion—only the sound of that enormous torrent of spiritual power being gradually worn away by the Yin Yang Life Death Diagram, turning into spiritual energy and dispersing between heaven and earth.

"What a powerful force of dissolution. It can even dissolve spiritual power, and it can neutralize Dao Laws as well. An incredibly powerful defensive divine ability."

Standing behind Taishu Jing, Taishu Yun gazed at the Yin Yang Life Death Diagram and could not help but praise it. Although Taishu Jing had comprehended this Yin Yang Life Death Diagram on his own and it was still far from Greater Accomplishment, even in its embryonic form, it had displayed extraordinary divine might.

Dissolving spiritual power and neutralizing Dao Laws—the Yin Yang Life Death Diagram might become one of the strongest defensive divine abilities in the world.

"Annihilate!"

His confident voice rang out, crisp and clear. The Yin Yang Life Death Diagram burst with dazzling black-and-white radiance, dissolving every treasure technique attack into nothing.

It was not over yet!

Taishu Jing stepped forward and pushed the Yin Yang Life Death Diagram in his palm outward. The massive black-and-white disk resembled a millstone as it crushed toward those Fierce Beasts, unstoppable and immovable.

Boom!

Blood and bones flew as the Fierce Beasts cried out in anguish. Great swathes of Fierce Beasts were stripped of life beneath the Yin Yang Life Death Diagram. At the same time, immense vitality and death qi continuously flowed into the diagram, making it increasingly condensed.

It was as though the ground had been plowed over, completely overturned. A multitude of Fierce Beast corpses lay across the earth. With that single move, the remaining Fierce Beast horde was nearly wiped out, leaving only two or three stragglers.

Whimper! Whimper!

The remaining few Third-Order Fierce Beasts whimpered in fear, crawling on the ground and slowly backing away. Like terrified puppies, they had been scared out of their wits. Then they fled without looking back, wishing they had grown a few more legs.

Roar!

Shriek!

Little White and Little Fire descended from the sky. Clearly, they had already dealt with all the Fierce Beasts in the air. They had been preparing to come down and help, only to see Taishu Yun and Taishu Jing unleash two ultimate moves and directly finish off the remaining Fierce Beasts.

"Little Fire, Little White, you're done too." Taishu Yun smiled at them.

"Brother, that Fourth-Order Fierce Beast is strange. It watched without making a move. Is it confident in its own strength, or does it simply not care about the lives of its underlings?"

Divine light bloomed in Taishu Jing's eyes as he saw that dinosaur-like Fourth-Order Fierce Beast still lingering in the rear. Its gaze remained indifferent as it watched its fellow Fierce Beasts being slaughtered, with no intention of intervening.

"With that kind of gaze, it can only be confidence. Since it hasn't retreated, we'll leave it here."

Taishu Yun narrowed his eyes and flexed his fingers. It seemed the battle just now had not satisfied him, and he wanted to continue fighting.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Brother. I know you haven't fought enough yet, but let me test it with one move first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Taishu Jing raised the Starfall Bow. An arrow condensed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth instantly took shape. No Dao Laws were infused into it, and not even his own spiritual power had been added. The arrow gave a soft cry as its tip pointed directly at the Fourth-Order Fierce Beast five hundred zhang away. Sharp Arrow Momentum radiated from it, tearing apart even the air.

Whoosh!

The long arrow tore through the air. The ordinary arrow of spiritual energy ripped through space and shot toward the Fourth-Order Fierce Beast. In the blink of an eye, it crossed five hundred zhang and was about to strike the dinosaur-like creature between the brows.

Roar!

An enraged dragon roar rang out. Scarlet light flared from the Fourth-Order Fierce Beast's eyes as it opened its bloodthirsty maw. A soundwave roared from the depths of its throat, freezing the spiritual energy arrow in midair. The rolling waves of sound shattered that ordinary arrow.

Twang!

The cry of an arrow lingered as a thread of terrifying Arrow Momentum emerged, accompanied by a spray of bright-red blood. A slender wound appeared on the face of the dinosaur-like Fourth-Order Fierce Beast, as though it had been slashed by a blade.

The arrow's cry had lasted only an instant, and the awakening of its Arrow Momentum had taken just as long. It had merely been a faint trace of Arrow Momentum added by Taishu Jing, and it vanished after erupting once. Even so, it had left a gash on the Fourth-Order Fierce Beast.

Roar!

The Fourth-Order Fierce Beast roared wildly. The scarlet in its eyes deepened as a violent aura spread from its body. All the trees in the forest behind it rustled violently, leaves scattering through the air.

Thud!

As if it had been provoked, it moved for the first time. Its thick legs began to stride forward, each step landing upon the air. It slowly rose into the sky and walked toward Taishu Yun and Taishu Jing as spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged toward it.

"Brother, it looks like I angered it. Still, from what I can see, its strength is only average."

With that arrow, Taishu Jing had used only one-tenth of his Arrow Momentum and had already pierced the Fourth-Order Fierce Beast's defenses. Had he used a full tenth, it would not have been merely a wound—its entire head would have been split open. In Taishu Jing's view, the power of momentum possessed incredibly strong armor-piercing ability. Or rather, its offensive power was unmatched.

However, to wield the power of momentum, one needed a will strong enough to bear the Power of Heaven and Earth, as well as a powerful physique. Otherwise, it would recoil upon the user. After all, the power of momentum contained the mighty force of heaven and earth and could even grievously wound one's will.

"Leave it to me, Jing."

Taishu Yun nodded, his expression calm as he watched the Fourth-Order Fierce Beast walking toward them through the sky. He had seen Taishu Jing's arrow clearly. Overall, that arrow had not possessed much power. Only the trace of Arrow Momentum concealed within it had been the true killing move.

In Taishu Yun's view, using the power of momentum against this Fourth-Order Fierce Beast was making a mountain out of a molehill. It had not even grasped the power of Artistic Conception—how could it possibly contend against the power of momentum?

"Then I'll wait off to the side. Have fun." Taishu Jing put away the Starfall Bow, clasped his hands behind his head, and retreated to one side, returning to his usual lazy appearance.
