Chapter 809: The Four Great Ferocious Beasts of the Tai Chu Continent

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An Lin’s expression immediately became more grave upon hearing the names of the two monsters.

Gluttony? Wasn’t that one of the Four Great Ferocious Beasts of the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool, which would even eat itself when it was in one of its crazed frenzies?

Lust was even more of a twisted freak. As one of the Four Great Ferocious Beasts, it was extremely fond of bustling and lively places. It would go wherever a battle was taking place, and it loved to land killing blows, as well as specializing in siding with the antagonists.

For example, a cultivator with a blood vendetta against an evil beast would slay said evil beast, and Lust would immediately pounce on them to swallow them into its stomach.

Countless prodigies had fallen victim to Lust’s sick, twisted endeavors.

Not only that, but it was a creature that applauded evil deeds and ate everyone it encountered that was doing good deeds. It was a creature seemingly with a personal vendetta against all do-gooders in this world.

“The Four Great Ferocious Beasts all pledged their allegiance to the Demonic Blood Kirin. Who would have thought that two of them would appear here?” An Lin’s expression finally shifted.

“Aren’t they all dead? Apparently, they were all terrifying beings at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage, but their auras are clearly not right. Could these be impostors?” Xu Xiaolan spoke with incredulity, but she didn’t let down her guard.

Even the auras they were displaying now were extremely fearsome!

An Lin’s storage ring flashed as he spoke, and a silver figure suddenly appeared before flying quickly toward Gluttony.

“Gundam Three, go!”

Boom!

A circular, purple gravitational field enshrouded Gluttony while unleashing an extremely fearsome force that stopped Gluttony’s forward momentum and sent it plummeting toward the ground.

Ao Niu and the frog were in complete despair. They were trembling uncontrollably from fear and were so touched by An Lin’s gesture that tears were flowing down their faces.

“Hmph! A mere puppet dares to block my way! Watch me eat you!” Gluttony roared with rage as the cloud of flames underfoot surged. Even under the gravitational force, it was able to pounce toward Gundam Three at high speed.

Gundam Three maintained the gravitational force field with one hand while a particle sword materialized in its other hand before slashing out an arc of blue energy.

Gluttony reacted extremely quickly, and the cloud of flames underfoot abruptly surged again, thereby allowing it to evade Gundam Three’s sword strike as it continued to approach Gundam Three with its mouth wide open.

Its face was originally the size of a normal human face, but after opening its mouth, its mouth was even bigger than its entire head. It was like a black hole lined with sharp white fangs.

“I’m digging in!”

Gluttony chomped down on Gundam Three’s head!

Crack, bam!

A crisp crack sounded.

“Howl…!” Gluttony let loose a wail of anguish as its teeth chattered. “What the hell is this puppet made of? How could it be so hard?!”

Gundam Three wasn’t going to give a reply. It played the role of a powerful man of few words perfectly as it unleashed all types of light waves from one hand while it waved its particle sword with the other, sending attacks raining down like a torrential storm.

Gluttony let loose a warcry as flaming saber projections materialized on its claws, and it engaged in battle with Gundam Three.

Gundam Three’s power level was at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Initial Stage. But even so, Gluttony was able to fight on par with it. The space around their battle, which covered a radius of over a kilometer, was transformed into a no man’s land as destructive energy exploded forth.

“Ribbit! This is way too terrifying! Is this really a place only accessible to Soul Formation Stage cultivators? A battle of this level is definitely on par with a battle between Return to Void Stage mighty figures!” the Divine Poison Frog exclaimed with shock.

“Moo… Have you forgotten about those immortal beasts that had gone insane?” Ao Niu questioned.

The Divine Poison Frog had no response to that.

Ao Niu continued, “What’s most shocking to me is that An Lin still had such a terrifying trump card up his sleeve. With his strength in conjunction with that mechanical puppet, he could sweep through all of the beasts here with ease. The only worthy adversaries he has from the moment he entered this place are the creatures here!”

Gundam Three and Lust were caught in a heated battle where neither was able to gain the upper hand.

Lust finally withdrew its lighthearted expression as a solemn expression took its place.

That’s right, the two humans were powerful enough for it to take caution against.

“Roar! So you’re not going to surrender?” Lust glared at An Lin as a twisted reddish-brown energy erupted from its body.

An Lin’s brows furrowed slightly. He had detected an extremely terrifying power with his divine sense earlier, and it did not belong to either of these two ferocious beasts.

At this moment, three figures were already charging toward the huge mushroom building at extreme speed as An Lin and the others fought.

The golden groundhog was accompanied by a blue flame skeletal bird and an eight-arm lion king, both of which were also soul beasts at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage with excitement and anxiety on their faces.

They were taking advantage of this opportunity to sneak in and take the treasure. This was such a satisfying feeling!

However, Lust’s expression did not shift in the slightest upon seeing this.

An Lin’s nerves were also settled upon seeing Lust’s reaction. The groundhog could test the waters for them then…

Lust shot a glance at Gluttony, which was still engaged in battle, and it knew that it probably wasn’t going to be able to swoop in and land a killing blow anytime soon. Hence it decided to focus on capturing these two humans first.

It stared at An Lin and Xu Xiaolan with a cautious expression. It didn’t attack, but the aura erupting from its body was growing more and more intimidating.

Glug, glug…

The blood on the ground below began to bubble and boil.

Lust was only about thirty to forty feet in length, but its wingspan was disproportionately large in comparison, at over a hundred feet. There was a dense bunch of skulls hanging from its wings, and an unsettling crimson light glowed from the eyeholes of these skulls.

Ethereal, sinister cackles sounded from within the skulls, creating a sound wave that swept toward the two of them.

This was both to create momentum before the battle, as well as a mind game to unsettle its opponent.

However, An Lin had endured countless battles before, and he was naturally not going to be affected by tricks like this.

“Are you sure you want to resist? I want to capture you two alive, so you do have a chance at survival. But it won’t be very good if you resist and I end up accidentally killing you in battle…” Lust stalked its prey as it tried to talk them into surrender.

An Lin looked up at the huge mushroom building behind Lust. “There are already three soul beasts pursuing the Kirin Blood Jade, are you not going to take care of them first?”

“Hehe, let them go. They’re just bringing food to our doorstep anyway.” Lust was not worried in the slightest. Instead, it seemed to be quite elated.

An Lin nodded upon hearing this. So the Kirin Blood Jade really was in there.

However, there appeared to be a terrifyingly powerful creature guarding the Kirin Blood Jade, which was something to be cautious of. He should just eliminate the obstacle here first…

Lust was still slowly approaching An Lin, and it raised its inky-black tail into the air, at the tip of which a frosty light shone. The skulls on its wings were still clattering together as cackles and percussive music combined in an unsettling package.

An Lin’s eyes turned snowy white, and he stepped forward as heaven and earth fell completely dark.

Lust’s fur instantly stood on end as its senses were deprived, and a powerful divine sense and killing intent engulfed its body.

Heavenly Demon Bone Barrier!

It unleashed its protection divine ability without hesitation as the projection of a heavenly demon head instantly materialized to encapsulate its body like an impregnable fortress.

A sharp screeching sound erupted at this moment.

Lust’s body was knocked flying, but it managed to block that terrifying attack.

However, it suddenly experienced a sense of loss.

“Oh? What an interesting ability you have. Let me have some fun with this.” An Lin chuckled lightly.

Light returned to heaven and earth.

Lust, which had been knocked flying by An Lin’s sword strike, recovered its senses.

However, it didn’t even have a moment to breathe before a woman with lightning revolving around her body swept toward it at startling speed.

The bright blue lightning and scorching holy flames of the Dragon Sparrow Sword combined to exude a perfected sword intent, which was even more powerful than the power that some Return to Void Stage mighty figures were capable of unleashing. The high-rank immortal tool and Xu Xiaolan’s bloodline also formed a perfect combination, thereby unleashing the fearsome power.

Lust was only able to use its two front paws to try and defend its head before the Dragon Sparrow Sword fell!
