Chaos erupted within the defensive formation. Someone shouted, "How far is the Great Flame Spirit Beast?"
The cultivator who delivered the message exclaimed, "It flew over from the Lake of Fire and will be here soon!"
Someone else shouted, "Quickly, send someone to distract it! Otherwise, this place will be lost!"
Meng Yaying shook her head repeatedly and said, "Overestimating yourself! Gu Lin, you should quickly take your friends and leave. It will be too late to run when that beast comes."
Li Qiang asked, "Aren't the cultivators here organized? Is there no one in charge?"
He was utterly astonished. When the Great Flame Spirit Beast was born on Heavenly Court Star, the cultivators of Sealed Fate Planet and Qianjie Star were so well-organized, and even with the help of three Loose Immortal, they were helpless against it and could only drive it away in the end. But the cultivators here were like a pile of loose sand, yet they dared to provoke the Great Flame Spirit Beast. It was truly unbelievable.
Geng Feng shook his messy hair and said, "We just arrived recently, and it seems there's no one in charge here."
Little White suddenly became excited and kept circling around Li Qiang's legs.
Mei'er squatted down and talked to Little White: " Little White, why are you so happy? The Great Flame Spirit Beast is very powerful. Be a good girl and let Mei'er hold you in a little while, okay? Don't run around, or the big monster will eat you up!"
She reached out to hug Little White, but Little White shook its head like a rattle-drum, refusing to let her hug it. Mei'er couldn't help but throw a coquettish tantrum.
Li Qiang laughed and said, " Little White, you're protecting Mei'er, understand?"
Little White looked helpless, barked twice, and reluctantly flew into Mei'er's arms.
Mei'er immediately perked up. " Little White, do you never eat? If I knew what you liked to eat, Mei'er would go find it for you." She genuinely loved this Heavenly Lion Divine Beast.
Looking at the carnage around them, Tianhong said, "Brother, let's lure the Great Flame Spirit Beast away, otherwise we won't be able to withstand its attack here."
Li Qiang nodded and said, "Hehe, when I first saw the Great Flame Spirit Beast, I was almost scared to death by it. It's really powerful. Okay, let's lure it away."
Meng Yaying called out, "Who else here is Spirit Severing Realm or Body Integration Realm expert? Please come out and speak!"
A person flew out from the crowd in response. Meng Yaying exclaimed in surprise, "How is it you? Didn't you leave?"
It was a tall young man, dressed in black armor with silver spots, his dark skin giving him a very imposing appearance. He said, "Sister Meng, one of my disciples died here. Do you think I can leave? I want to see that beast die!"
Meng Yaying said, "This is Ba Kalang from Lingyuan Star. He's a friend I met during my travels. Kalang, this is Brother Li."
Li Qiang bowed and said, "I am Li Qiang, Brother Ba, let's go together to lure away the Great Flame Spirit Beast..."
A rumbling sound suddenly came from outside the defensive formation, and someone exclaimed, "My God, look!"
Through the azure light of the defensive array, the slender and beautiful body of the Great Flame Spirit Beast, enveloped in earth fire magma, surged forward like a tsunami. The crimson magma, like a giant red mountain, pressed down from afar. The cultivators inside the defensive array were all dumbfounded. With the magma pressing down like this, there were very few people here who could withstand it.
Li Qiang's experience is vastly different now. After all, he has been through so much and seen so many storms. He has even fought divine beasts, so he is no longer so afraid of the Great Flame Spirit Beast.
He smiled and said to the book, "Let's go play with it." His relaxed tone revealed a strong sense of confidence.
Geng Feng laughed loudly, "Alright, I want to see just how powerful this Little Madman is now." He teleported away first.
With a casual wave of his hand, Li Qiang sent Tianhong, Mei'er, Meng Yaying, and Ba Kalang flying away. The group hovered in the air, now able to clearly see the Great Flame Spirit Beast.
Meng Yaying said with a wry smile, "It's gone berserk again..."
Li Qiang squinted and carefully examined the Great Flame Spirit Beast. He noticed that the Great Flame Spirit Beast was very different from when it was first born from the Heavenly Court Star. It had shrunk considerably, now only seven or eight meters long, and its body shimmered with colorful light.
Li Qiang sighed, "It can even cultivate! If it could shrink another size, it would become a divine beast."
The Great Flame Spirit Beast flew very slowly, and the surrounding magma gathered beneath it as it moved forward, creating an astonishing spectacle. Mars flew everywhere, and the magma below was surged up by an invisible force, rising like a colossal wave over thirty meters high. It seemed as if it would annihilate the entire Green Stone Rock.
Tianhong knew that Li Qiang was now extremely formidable, so he asked, "Brother, how do we defend ourselves?"
Li Qiang laughed, "You all just need to protect this area of Green Stone Rock and prevent the magma from surging up. I'll deal with the Great Flame Spirit Beast. Hehe, this guy is quite arrogant. Last time, he was messed with by Qian Shanyong Luo Heaven High Immortal Shanyong and suffered a bit, but he escaped. This time, it's my turn to play with him."
Geng Feng looked at him with a strange expression. Every time he saw Li Qiang, he felt stimulated. He originally thought that he was already a master of the Spirit Severing Realm and should be more powerful than Li Qiang. Who knew that Li Qiang was even more abnormal and actually wanted to play with the Great Flame Spirit Beast all by himself.
Geng Feng thought to himself, "Let's see how this guy performs; maybe he's learned some amazing new techniques." This time, he didn't say anything, but simply watched how Li Qiang made his move.
Li Qiang smiled slightly, and the Heavenly Mirror Treasure Aspect Wheel appeared. Countless starlight emanated from his body, and the immense pressure pushed everyone around him away.
Li Qiang turned his head and said, "Brother Tianhong, please look after Mei'er for me." Before he finished speaking, the War Soul Saber shot forward with a seven-colored light.
Geng Feng stared in disbelief, then couldn't help but exclaim, "What kind of treasure is this? Wow... ya!"
Tianhong glanced at it calmly. "If I'm not mistaken, this is a celestial artifact."
Mei'er giggled, " Fengzi brother, my brother is using a divine artifact."
Everyone present was stunned. Geng Feng stammered, "He... he... how could that Little Madman... Cultivators can't use divine artifacts..."
Mei'er said Tianzhen, "Brother can no longer be considered a cultivator. He's even fought immortals, and the Crimson Devil Venerable Chiming of the Black Devil Realm is no match for him..."
The little girl idolized her brother the most, and when she casually praised Li Qiang, the experts present broke out in a cold sweat. They were joking; fighting immortals and battling the Devil Venerable Chiming Lord—which cultivator could do that?
Geng Feng was completely disheartened. It seemed he would never be able to outdo Li Qiang in his lifetime.
Li Qiang let out a long roar and charged towards the Great Flame Spirit Beast. His War Soul Saber transformed into a seven-colored rainbow light, crashing into the Great Flame Spirit Beast. The rainbow light was crystal clear, almost tangible, and it pierced straight through the surging waves of magma.
The Great Flame Spirit Beast seemed to sense that something was wrong. It spewed out a dazzling golden light, and the Wrath of the Heavenly God reappeared before Li Qiang's eyes.
Tianhong knew the danger, and he shouted a warning, "Brother! Be careful!"
Mei'er hugged Little White tightly, her body trembling with nervousness. She murmured to herself, "Brother will be alright, brother will be alright."
Little White licked Mei'er's cheek with its pink tongue and barked twice. Mei'er looked at Little White in disbelief and said, "Really? You're not lying to Mei'er, are you?"
Little White nodded its head repeatedly, even grinning as if it were about to laugh.
Mei'er chuckled, amused. She let go of her hand, and the Little White vanished in a flash.
Li Qiang watched as the Wrath of the Heavenly God burst forth. He knew it was incredibly powerful, but he was still unwilling to Qi Ingestion because his War Soul Saber was also a divine weapon. He couldn't help but charge straight at it.
The two divine artifacts collided, and two shockwaves rippled outwards, shaking the entire Fiery Rock Zone. Tianhong, Meng Yaying, Ba Kalang, Geng Feng, and Mei'er acted almost simultaneously to block the enormous impact.
Geng Feng trembled with excitement. The fact that Li Qiang could go head-to-head with the Wrath of the Heavenly God was truly thrilling. He knew that Mei'er was right; Li Qiang must possess a divine artifact, and only a divine artifact could clash head-on with another divine artifact.
The magma, which surged up like a mountain, was shattered in one blow, sending sparks flying everywhere. The cultivators hiding in the defensive array were stunned by the huge roar, and many of the cultivators who were already injured could not withstand the sound and were knocked unconscious.
The Green Stone Rock was trembling violently, as if it were about to shatter. The people inside the formation were horrified, and those with some ability flew out of the formation to watch.
Li Qiang and the Great Flame Spirit Beast flew backwards simultaneously, and the War Soul Saber and the Wrath of the Heavenly God actually fought to a draw.
Li Qiang understood that the Wrath of the Heavenly God was actually more powerful than the War Soul Saber, because he controlled the War Soul Saber based on his Divine Yi Power. Therefore, in reality, it was more powerful than the Great Flame Spirit Beast controlling the Wrath of the Heavenly God.
The Great Flame Spirit Beast Beast's beautiful red eyes flashed with anger. It hadn't expected anyone to withstand the Wrath of the Heavenly God. As it tried to unleash more lava to attack, Little White appeared in a small figure not far above its head.
Little White barked twice at the Great Flame Spirit Beast. The Great Flame Spirit Beast, like a rabbit seeing a lion, suddenly retreated, its red eyes flashing with extreme fear. After a brief pause, it turned and flew towards the Fire Lake.
Geng Feng, utterly bewildered, exclaimed, "Strange! The Great Flame Spirit Beast is afraid of this little thing? Am I really going crazy?"
Apart from Li Qiang, who knew that Little White was the Heavenly Lion Divine Beast, no one else present knew that this little guy was the king of beasts.
Li Qiang found the War Soul Saber very easy to use. As long as his mind and will were focused, the War Soul Saber would definitely be there. It felt very useful, especially since it didn't require special training, making it very suitable for someone like him who was constantly on the go.
After clashing head-on with the Wrath of the Heavenly God, Li Qiang's confidence in the War Soul Saber greatly increased. He believed that with this War Soul Saber, he should be able to hold his own against an immortal.
Overjoyed, he let out a long roar and sped off in the direction the Great Flame Spirit Beast had fled.
Geng Feng shouted, "Let's chase them too!"
Ba Kalang and Meng Yaying flew together, and he asked in a low voice, "Sister Meng, who exactly is Brother Li? He doesn't seem to be using cultivation methods; he's too powerful. Is he an immortal?"
Meng Yaying said, "He should be a senior. I asked him if he was an immortal, but he denied it."
Tianhong was filled with emotion. Fu Shan had already transcended his tribulation, while he was still training outside. As for Li Qiang, he didn't know what he had cultivated. When they met in Heavenly Melody City, Li Qiang was just a Leaving the Body Realm Soul cultivator. In just a hundred years, he had completely changed. His strength was comparable to that of an immortal. It was simply incomprehensible how he had cultivated.
The Great Flame Spirit Beast fled to the sky above the Fire Lake, Little White chased after it at a leisurely pace. It seemed to find this amusing and was in no hurry to reveal its strength. It simply circled around the Great Flame Spirit Beast Great Flame Spirit Beast, scaring it into running around in all directions.
Li Qiang sighed inwardly, "It's true that everything has its counter Great Flame Spirit Beast, with its formidable strength, is actually afraid of a divine beast that looks like a small dog. It's unbelievable."
The Great Flame Spirit Beast fled to the Fire Lake and plunged headfirst into the lava. Li Qiang followed without hesitation. The War Soul Saber lived up to its reputation as a celestial weapon, as it forced away the lava within a ten-meter radius around his body.
Even if lava were to surge onto his body, Li Qiang wouldn't be afraid. He was now immune to both water and fire, and he didn't even care about Heavenly Fire, let alone earthly fire and lava.
Although the Heavenly Lion Divine Beast Little White is powerful, it doesn't dare to enter the Fire Lake yet. It just flies back and forth in the sky above the Fire Lake, waiting for the Great Flame Spirit Beast to be forced out by Li Qiang.
Meng Yaying went back to direct the cultivators at Green Stone Rock to move to another location, with Ba Kalang assisting. Only Tianhong, Geng Feng, and Mei'er arrived above the Fire Lake.
Although Mei'er knew Li Qiang Divine Ability powerful, she was still very worried. She kept saying, " Little White, Little White, why didn't you chase after him? Little White, come to Mei'er..."
Little White suddenly hovered in the air, its form abruptly changing.
Mei'er exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Little White... Little White has grown bigger!"
The Celestial Lion revealed its true form. It was a big guy with brilliant silver light. On his big furry head, there was a pair of big sea-blue eyes. There were two small golden horns behind the ears. The silver fur on his body was condensed into patches. It has armor-like plates and its tail is turned upward, like a blooming silver chrysanthemum. Its stubby limbs are also wrapped in silver armor. It is very different from the original appearance of Xiaobai. It is more than three meters long, shaking its big head, and looks very silly.
Mei'er exclaimed sweetly, " Little White is so cute! I love it!"
Tianhong and Geng Feng felt a chill run down their spines; they both sensed the immense power emanating from the Heavenly Lion Divine Beast.
Little White yawned lazily, then suddenly roared to the sky. The roar revealed the aura of the king of divine beasts, and the magma in the entire fire lake trembled and jumped. The sound was terrifying. Even a master like Tianhong trembled, and Geng Feng could not bear it. He was so shocked by the roar that he retreated straight back.
Mei'er pouted and said coquettishly, " Little White, are you trying to kill me? Why are you yelling so loudly!"
After the Heavenly Lion Divine Beast roared towards the sky, three phantom images suddenly appeared above the Fire Lake, which quickly solidified into a real form.
Geng Feng exclaimed, "My God, three Great Flame Spirit Beast!"
Tianhong also tensed up. He said, " Mei'er, Fengzi, come here!" He raised his hand and released his protective shield, covering the two of them, while retreating backward.
Geng Feng asked in confusion, "How did so Great Flame Spirit Beast suddenly appear? Where did they come from...?"
Mei'er knew in her heart that this must be the monster in Suppressing Tranquility Intent Origin. Li Qiang had told her about it; it was a treasure obtained from the secret chamber of the Old Immortal Tianshi.
Tianhong noticed something amiss and said, "It seems to have been summoned by that Little White."
The three Great Flame Spirit Beast seemed quite excited when they saw the fiery lake below, and they all circled around it.
Little White roared again, and three Great Flame Spirit Beast charged into the fire lake. A series of "plop" sounds rang out, and the splashing lava flew everywhere like a rain of flowers.
Li Qiang continued to descend. The immense pressure from the magma had compressed the space to only about seven or eight meters. The starlight from the Heavenly Mirror Treasure Aspect Wheel formed a thin silver membrane around him. He had lost all trace of the Great Flame Spirit Beast.
In this place, the Great Flame Spirit Beast was as agile as a fish in water, and Li Qiang's Divine Ability abilities were no match for its innate instincts; after hesitating for a moment, Li Qiang teleported away.
Li Qiang suddenly appeared above the lake of fire, Mei'er couldn't help but cheer.
Upon seeing the Heavenly Lion Divine Beast, Li Qiang exclaimed in surprise, " Little White?"
The Heavenly Lion Divine Beast, wobbled and flew to Li Qiang's side, then nestled its large, furry head into Li Qiang's arms in a fawning manner.
Mei'er flashed to Li Qiang's side and complained, "Brother, Little White is ignoring Mei'er."
Li Qiang laughed and said, " Mei'er, do you want to ride on Little White's back?"
Mei'er clapped her hands and giggled, "Yes! Mei'er wants to ride a divine beast!"
Little White called out softly, looking reluctant.
Li Qiang picked up Mei'er, placed her on Little White's back, and laughed, "Don't bully Mei'er, understand?"
Little White blinked, then let out a helpless growl, indicating its agreement.
Tianhong and Geng Feng flew over, and Li Qiang said, " Old Madman, haha, the Great Flame Spirit Beast is quite troublesome; it escaped again."
Geng Feng smiled wryly, "You're the real Fengzi. You dare to confront the Wrath of the Heavenly God? Sigh, you're too amazing. By the way, what is this Little White thing? It actually summoned three Great Flame Spirit Beast..."
Li Qiang exclaimed in surprise, "What? Little White summoned three Great Flame Spirit Beast? Haha, it finally couldn't wait any longer, good!"
He grinned from ear to ear, knowing that only the various monsters summoned by Little White could unleash their full power. Relying on immortal techniques was forced and much less effective. He had never asked Little White to take action; everything was done voluntarily.
Tianhong asked, "What kind of monster is Little White that can transform?"
Li Qiang laughed and said, "It's the Heavenly Lion Divine Beast, the king of divine beasts. This is the first time I've seen it transform. I didn't expect it to be so good. It's quite a beautiful divine beast. Hehe, I've seen some other divine beasts, and those were truly ugly."
Geng Feng said incredulously, "You're kidding me, how could there possibly be divine beasts in this realm..."
Li Qiang chuckled and retorted, "What's that Little White? It's not a mythical beast, so tell me what it is? You Old Madman, just because you haven't seen something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Being ignorant is fine, as long as you're willing to learn. But being ignorant and pretending to know what you don't... well, you Old Madman, that's not admirable."
Tianhong laughed loudly, "Brother, your mouth is getting sharper and sharper. Geng Feng, did you hear that? Don't be so self-important."
Geng Feng was speechless, choked by Li Qiang's words. After a long while, he finally yelled, "You Little Madman, are you trying to piss me off? Ugh, whatever, you're really a monster. You can get your hands on all sorts of weird and Old Madman things. I'm impressed, I'm impressed."
Li Qiang laughed and said, "Actually, there's some truth to your guess. However, Little White is indeed the Heavenly Lion Divine Beast, but it's refined from the Primordial Spirit of a divine beast, not a true divine beast in the traditional sense."
Tianhong suddenly realized, his knowledge was also quite extensive. "No wonder it was able to summon three Great Flame Spirit Beast just now, it turns out it was refined from Primordial Spirit. Strange, I didn't see Law Treasure it possessed?"
Li Qiang couldn't help but admire him secretly. Tianhong had truly gotten to the point. He smiled and said, "I gave that immortal artifact to Little White."
Geng Feng couldn't take it anymore and shouted, " Little Madman, you have some immortal artifacts... give me one! Where did you get so many immortal artifacts?"
Li Qiang joked, "Why not just steal, kidnap, rob, or cheat? If all else fails, you can cultivate it yourself. But I don't have good materials, Old Madman. If you can find these materials, I'll help you cultivate a celestial sword." He casually rattled off a list of material names.
Geng Feng was almost overjoyed, but after hearing the names of the materials Li Qiang mentioned, he deflated, shaking his head with a wry smile. He had never heard of most of the materials Li Qiang mentioned. He was very bad at weapon crafting; not to mention crafting weapons himself, he didn't know much about the materials needed for crafting either.
Tianhong shook his head and said, "So what if he has a magic sword? How come you'll never understand magic books? Even the best Law Treasure isn't the key. Brother, don't let him cultivate the magic sword."
Geng Feng was most afraid of Tianhong. He didn't dare to reply to a word, and just kept grinning foolishly.
Li Qiang couldn't help but laugh and said, " Old Madman, come back to Sealed Fate Planet with me this time. Is Brother Tianhong going back too?"
Geng Feng said, "I came out to find you in the first place. Now that I've found you, of course I'm going back. Hehe, those little brats from the Ancient Sword Academy wanted to come with me too, but after I beat them up, they all behaved themselves. They're all waiting for you to come back."
Tianhong suddenly said, "Everyone be careful, the Fire Lake is moving."
Huge bubbles rose and fell on the surface of the lake formed by magma, and the surface that had just calmed down began to churn violently again. Little White carried Mei'er and circled in the air, looking very excited.
A few moments later, several muffled tremors were heard, followed by a deafening explosion. A huge hole was torn open in the center of the fire lake, and crimson magma shot into the sky. In an instant, Little White and Mei'er moved to the side.
The Great Flame Spirit Beast angrily charged out of the lake of fire, followed closely by three illusory figures enveloped in thick flames. It was chased relentlessly by the three Great Flame Spirit Beast from the Suppressing Tranquility Intent Origin, leaving it with no choice but to rush out of the lake of fire again.
Little White roared loudly, and with its roar, a strange blue bird materialized in the air; no one recognized what kind of monster it was.
The Great Flame Spirit Beast was terrified. This was its natural nemesis— the Golden Ou. It recklessly unleashed the Wrath of the Heavenly God once more.
This time, Li Qiang was well prepared. He shouted loudly, and a huge wheel shadow flew out from the Heavenly Mirror Treasure Aspect Wheel on his body. At the same time, the War Soul Saber transformed into a giant seven-colored ring, rapidly encircling the Wrath of the Heavenly God.
The Wrath of the Heavenly God struck the Golden Ou first, with a deafening roar. The Golden Ou, which had just solidified and had not yet moved, was torn to shreds by the power of the Wrath of the Heavenly God.
Little White roared angrily, and in the blink of an eye, two phantoms appeared in the sky. The phantoms solidified into two Golden Ou. You should know that any monster summoned from Suppressing Tranquility Intent Origin is indestructible unless Suppressing Tranquility Intent Origin is destroyed.
Taking advantage of the outbreak of the Wrath of the Heavenly God, before the Great Flame Spirit Beast could retract its Wrath of the Heavenly God, Li Qiang severed the connection between the two with the Heavenly Mirror Treasure Aspect Wheel, and the colorful circle formed by the divine artifact War Soul Saber quickly enveloped it.
The Great Flame Spirit Beast went berserk. It knew that the Wrath of the Heavenly God was the foundation of its cultivation, and once it was taken away, it would be impossible for it to continue cultivating.
The two Golden Ou flew towards the Great Flame Spirit Beast from the left and right, while the other three summoned Great Flame Spirit Beast turned into green smoke and disappeared without a trace.
Having lost the Wrath of the Heavenly God, the Great Flame Spirit Beast madly crashed into the Heavenly Mirror Treasure Aspect Wheel. In an instant, the illusory image of the Heavenly Mirror Treasure Aspect Wheel emitted a bright light, and countless starlight swirled out. With a roar, the Great Flame Spirit Beast was repelled.
The Heavenly Mirror Treasure Aspect Wheel was, after all, a celestial artifact left behind by the Gu Xing. Seeing that it could not avenge the Wrath of the Heavenly God, the Great Flame Spirit Beast let out a mournful cry and turned to rush towards the lake of fire; it was trying to escape.
The Golden Ou flapped its radiant wings, sending countless blue rays of light towards the fiery lake. A series of "hissing... crackling! crackling! crackling!" sounds rang out, and a massive amount of white mist rose from the fiery lake, causing the magma on its surface to solidify.
The Great Flame Spirit Beast crashed headfirst into the surface of the solidified lake of fire, letting out a miserable cry as its head was smashed open and blood flowed freely.
Before it could take flight again, each of the two Golden Ou emitted a shimmering blue ball of light, and silently, the Great Flame Spirit Beast was frozen inside a huge block of ice.
Little White seemed quite satisfied. It roared, and the two Golden Ou instantly turned into wisps of green smoke and disappeared.
Geng Feng and Tianhong watched in awe. The spirit beast that had escaped despite the efforts of countless cultivators on Heavenly Court Star was easily dealt with by Little White. They found it unbelievable.
Li Qiang commanded the War Soul Saber, stubbornly sealing off the Wrath of the Heavenly God.
The Wrath of the Heavenly God was like a rampaging wild horse, which Li Qiang found difficult to tame. He exhausted all his Divine Yi Power, made hand gestures, and used the Seal Character Instruction spell to strike, combined with the power of the War Soul Saber, finally stabilizing the raging Wrath of the Heavenly God.
He laughed happily, "Now let's see how you escape!"
