In the valley, a violent red wave swept in like a vast ocean, engulfing the entire valley in the blink of an eye. Then came a roar that could shatter rocks and cause boulders to collapse and waves of earth to surge into the sky.
Amidst this crimson wave, two young women looked horrified. The powerful shockwave caused them to stagger, their faces changing drastically.
Amidst the violent tremors of the valley, a colossal, ferocious beast roared to the sky, its scarlet eyes fixed intently on the two figures. Its body was engulfed in raging flames, like the inferno of hell, sending chills down one's spine.
One of the young women, who appeared to be around twenty years old, shoved her companion aside, and a burst of blue light suddenly erupted from the longsword in her hand. "Junior sister, be careful!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman leaped into the air, her long sword flashing with Sword Qi, and charged towards the ferocious beast.
" Senior Sister Ning!" the junior sister exclaimed, and also leaped towards the ferocious beast. As she staggered, she was swept by the beast's tail and fell to the ground.
The ferocious beast was like a wolf or a tiger, with a terrifying body that was ten zhang long. It exuded the cultivation level of the Golden Core Realm, and its violent energy waves scorched the surrounding rocks into ashes.
"Holy crap!" Yang Zhen, who was lying on the hillside, was also startled, staring in astonishment at the terrifying scene before him. "How can there be a ferocious beast here?"
roar!
The ferocious beast roared and spat a wave of fire at the two women, smashing a huge crater into the ground where they were.
The two women hurriedly leaped to the side. The woman surnamed Ning gritted her teeth, a look of despair flashing in her eyes.
A ferocious beast at the Golden Core Realm is far more powerful than a human cultivator at the same Golden Core Realm stage.
Ferocious beasts possess inherent physical advantages, and coupled with the difficulty of cultivation, they often overwhelm human cultivators of the same level.
The woman surnamed Ning clearly intended for her junior sister to escape alone, but the difference in their strength was too great. Now, let alone the two of them leaving at the same time, even one of them leaving alone would not be a simple matter.
Just as the woman surnamed Ning was filled with despair, she suddenly saw Yang Zhen lying on the hillside and immediately cried out, "Young Master..."
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen turned and ran. What a joke! This is a ferocious beast at the Golden Core Realm! You two tough girls are courting death by provoking this guy, and you want to drag me down with you?
Run, you have to run, and you have to turn around and run!
Yang Zhen vanished in a flash, leaving the woman surnamed Ning dumbfounded.
The junior sister who had been lying on the ground for a while before finally getting up opened her mouth, then stomped her feet angrily. "What's wrong with this person? It's one thing to leave someone to die, but did he have to run so fast?"
The woman surnamed Ning gave a bitter smile, hurriedly dodging a wave of fire from the ferocious beast, and said dejectedly, "Forget it, that young master was only at the Lesser Vehicle Realm of cultivation. Even if we joined forces, we wouldn't be a match for that beast. It's understandable that he fled for his life."
"What kind of young master is he? He's a complete coward! We two women are risking our lives here, and he just stands by and watches us die! Ugh, let's not talk about this coward anymore. Senior Sister Ning, what do we do? How can there be a ferocious beast at the Golden Core Realm here?!"
roar!
Seeing that it couldn't subdue the two women, the ferocious beast became extremely agitated. With a loud boom, a terrifying wave of fire erupted from its body, sweeping through the air. As it roared to the sky, layers of fire waves rushed towards the two women.
"Not good!"
The woman surnamed Ning's expression shifted rapidly. Her face paled, but she gritted her teeth, sheathed her sword, turned to her junior sister with a bright smile, and said, "Junior sister, leave alive!"
"No!" The junior sister's expression changed drastically, and she rushed towards the woman surnamed Ning: "Senior sister, don't!"
"Run!"
The woman surnamed Ning straightened her expression, and her body slowly floated up, with waves of violent energy surging out from her body. A resolute smile appeared on her lips.
"To die by the sect's ultimate technique, I Ning Yiling, will have no regrets even in death!"
Buzz!
Suddenly, a dazzling blue light burst forth between heaven and earth. Ning Yiling glanced back at her junior sister, a hint of lingering affection flashing in her eyes. As she turned away, her bright eyes were filled with unwavering determination.
Behind Ning Yiling, a dazzling blue light suddenly emitted a cry that pierced through gold and shattered stone. A phantom of a Azure Luan phoenix slowly took shape, and with a cry to the sky, it charged towards the ferocious beast.
Ning Yiling seemed to have exhausted all her strength and fell from mid-air. Her junior sister cried out in alarm and, instead of running away, rushed to protect Ning Yiling.
"Senior sister, don't die!"
Ning Yiling gave a bitter smile, glanced at her junior sister with difficulty, and murmured to herself, "Junior sister, how could you be so foolish?"
"My master is gone, and my senior sister is about to die too. What use am I if I keep living?"
Boom--!
A deafening roar resounded, and a terrifying shockwave shattered the surrounding rocks into fragments. Amidst the countless shattered rocks, the roars and howls of ferocious beasts echoed. Waves of violent energy, capable of changing the color of the heavens and earth, tore the junior sister's clothes to shreds, revealing her blood-soaked back.
roar!
The ferocious beast roared to the sky, and terrifying waves of fire swept across the heavens and earth. Ning Yiling and her two junior sisters' expressions changed drastically.
Yang Zhen ran faster than a rabbit, he was really fast!
What a joke! A ferocious beast at the Golden Core Realm? Let alone him, even those two guys, Yuan Kong or Luo Kun, who always look down on people, would run away if they saw it. If they didn't, they would die.
Yang Zhen wasn't some idiot who couldn't resist a woman's charm, although the woman surnamed Ning was indeed very beautiful, even more so than Hua Youyue, giving off a lively feeling.
But even if someone is beautiful, they still need to be alive to see them. No matter how beautiful they are, if they are killed by that ferocious beast, they will be eaten piece by piece.
Yang Zhen clicked her tongue and sighed, "What a tragic fate for a beautiful woman."
As Yang Zhen ran, he suddenly felt something was amiss. How could there be ferocious beasts in this place?
Let alone ferocious beasts, Yang Zhen hadn't even seen a single rabbit hair along the way. Although there were some birds singing and flowers blooming, they were all spiritual creatures, not living beings at all.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen suddenly realized that the ferocious beast might not be a real ferocious beast at all.
Born as a spirit, it condenses its essence into a beast, Hundred Breaks Meridian Unblocking —this is the Profound Beast!
This is a Profound Beast, a Profound Beast that has passed the stage of Hundred Breaks Meridian Unblocking.
Yang Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly turned around and ran back.
This is incredible! Profound Beast has actually appeared in this second-level world. If Yang Zhen is not mistaken, this Profound Beast should be Realm Treasure of the second-level world.
Legend has it that the Hundred Breaks Crystal Core of Profound Beast can form a barrier within a cultivator's Dantian. During tribulation, it can not only save the cultivator's life, but also has a certain chance of allowing the Bandit Cultivator to break through and rebuild, condensing into an even more powerful Dantian Spirit Root.
It can even condense those legendary special Spirit Root, making it something even more precious than the Fortune Fruit.
How could Yang Zhen possibly let something like this slip away right under his nose? He had to try and get it, even if it meant risking his life.
When Yang Zhen returned to the valley, the two female disciples were lying on the ground, staring in horror at the ferocious beast that had descended from the sky.
A violent shockwave erupted from the ferocious beast, burning fiercely and distorting the surrounding air as it evaporated.
The two sisters looked horrified. Yang Zhen clicked his tongue in amazement. Even in despair, the woman surnamed Ning exuded a poignant beauty, ethereal and breathtaking. It was just that she was lying there rather awkwardly, spread out like a starfish.
However, none of this mattered much; Yang Zhen didn't care about these details at all. Seeing that the ferocious beast was about to pounce, he shouted with all his might, "Beast, let go of that girl!"
Upon hearing this voice, the two women, who were in a state of despair and panic, suddenly looked up at Yang Zhen.
Bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, Yang Zhen leaped forward, stepping on auspicious seven-colored clouds and basking in the blazing sunlight, looking incredibly handsome!
"It's him!" Ning Yiling's expression changed drastically. "He's back!"
