What appeared so suddenly was a dragon-shaped Desolate Beast.
The Desolate Beast stood seven to eight ters tall and was fifteen to sixteen ters long. Its hind legs were like two giant iron pillars, their every step threatening to make the very ground tremble and shake.
On its chest, it had a pair of slightly smaller, sharp claws.
The gleaming, hook-like claws were half a ter long and as sharp as a Primordial Weapon. They glinted with a cold light, and a single swipe could tear a fully armored Martial Artist in two.
This Desolate Beast was none other than Elder Luo's mount: the Tier Three Wild Beast, the Iron Armor Tyrannosaurus!
The Iron Armor Tyrannosaurus also possessed a trace of the Dragon Race's bloodline, though it was far more diluted than that of the Red Jade Tyrannosaurus, classifying it as one of the lesser Sub-dragon species. However, in terms of rarity and power, the Iron Armor Tyrannosaurus was by no ans weaker than the Red Jade Tyrannosaurus—in fact, it was even slightly superior.
This was due to the Iron Armor Tyrannosaurus's formidable defensive power.
For instance, Elder Luo's Iron Armor Tyrannosaurus was only at the Tier Three Early Stage, comparable to a human Martial Artist at the Early-stage Celestial Soul Realm. Yet, its defense was so strong that even a powerhouse at the Late-stage Celestial Soul Realm would struggle to break it with a Primordial Weapon!
"Ram him to death!"
A sinister and venomous glint flickered in Elder Luo's eyes.
Ever since becoming an Elder of the Cyan Nether Sword Sect, he had forgotten the last ti he'd suffered a setback; he couldn't stand the slightest offense. Yet, since eting Hong Yu, he had been thwarted ti and ti again. No matter what he did, anything involving Hong Yu resulted in repeated failure.
This had provoked Elder Luo to his very core.
Coupled with his successive defeats at Hong Yu's hands—even his proud Netherworld Gate had been shattered by him—Elder Luo was descending into a hysterical madness.
"ROAR!"
The Iron Armor Tyrannosaurus let out a low growl and charged wildly at Hong Yu, crashing forward like a veritable mountain.
It ran with incredible speed, and with its incomparably hard body, even soone with Hong Yu's tough physique would surely be injured if hit.
'Dragon-slaying?'
Hong Yu narrowed his eyes, a flicker of excitent in them.
Every young man dreams of being a dragon-slaying hero. Dragons themselves are a symbol of imnse power!
'I've never had the chance before. Now this Iron Armor Tyrannosaurus has the gall to help Elder Luo against . How could I possibly let it go?'
At this thought, a sharp light entered Hong Yu's eyes. He gripped the Godslaying Spear with both hands and roared, "Break!"
A flash of golden light erupted. The Godslaying Spear streaked through the air like a golden rainbow, appearing before the Iron Armor Tyrannosaurus in the blink of an eye.
"ROAR!"
The Iron Armor Tyrannosaurus glanced at the "toothpick" before it with utter disdain. With a low growl, it ramd forward with its powerful body.
In its mory, any Martial Artist who dared to provoke it had been sent flying, ending up a ss of shattered bone and splattered flesh. It even seed to be thinking, 'After I send this little brat who dared to anger my master flying, should I rush over and stomp on him a few tis?'
But...
It could never have imagined that this would be the final, fleeting mont of its existence.
"CLANG!"
The sharp tip of the Godslaying Spear, pulsing with a fierce Spear Aura, slamd against the Iron Armor Tyrannosaurus's forehead. A shower of sparks erupted, and their first clash seed to end in a draw.
"ROAR!"
The Iron Armor Tyrannosaurus flew into a rage.
'I actually failed to break this toothpick in one go? I couldn't even send this runt flying?' This made it furious!
Its two steel-like hind legs pushed with all their might, intending to charge forward and send Hong Yu flying.
However!
The instant it pushed off, it suddenly felt a jolt run through its entire body.
Hong Yu, who was gripping the Godslaying Spear with his right hand, suddenly yanked it back, causing the Iron Armor Tyrannosaurus to lurch forward. Then, his left hand joined his right on the spear. The muscles in his arms bulged as a surge of Haoran Power was channeled into the Godslaying Spear.
This peculiar Primordial Weapon—Refined by the Legendary Powerhouse Luoo Kun and unsealed with the blood of that strange Giant Beast—was finally, for the first ti, revealing its true, formidable nature.
"BOOM!"
The tip of the Godslaying Spear suddenly erupted with a light as brilliant as the blazing sun.
Enveloped in this light, the hard Scale Armor and bones on the Iron Armor Tyrannosaurus's head suddenly shattered, sending blood flying.
The Godslaying Spear in Hong Yu's hands pierced straight through the hardest part of its skull. The weapon sank into the Iron Armor Tyrannosaurus's body, from tip to shaft, and scalding blood gushed from its head like a crimson fountain.
The Iron Armor Tyrannosaurus's entire body shuddered, its eyes went dull, and with a wretched "ROAR," it began to struggle violently.
But Hong Yu gave it no chance to break free!
"Get lost!"
Hong Yu gripped the end of the spear, bent his knees, and suddenly leaped into the air, channeling power from his legs, through his waist, and into his arms.
"HAAH!"
Hong Yu's expression beca savage. He spun around, his arms swinging the Godslaying Spear in a great arc. The Iron Armor Tyrannosaurus let out a pained shriek as, with a "WHOOSH" and a spray of blood, it was lifted high into the air. The eight-ter-tall, fifteen-ter-long beast, weighing tens of thousands of pounds, was brutally swung over Hong Yu's head.
Then, with a sudden downward press of his arms, he smashed the Iron Armor Tyrannosaurus onto the ground.
"BANG!"
The Iron Armor Tyrannosaurus's body slamd heavily onto the ground, completely flattening what was left of two side rooms and kicking up a rolling cloud of dust!
"SWISH!"
Hong Yu retracted the Godslaying Spear. A bloody light on its tip converged and then vanished. Unbeknownst to anyone, on the spear's tip, the first of seven empty Hexagram symbols had quietly turned blood-red.
"Holy... holy shit! Spearing a giant dragon? That's so fucking badass!"
"The Iron Armor Tyrannosaurus is known to have the best defense among all Tier Three Wild Beasts, yet Hong Yu killed it in a single blow?"
"Ma Le Gobi, from now on, Hong Yu is my idol!"
Feng Xue Xin and Luoo Xiaoguai exchanged a look, seeing the sa shock and bitterness in each other's eyes. "This kid's progress is just terrifying."
Luoo Xiaoguai nodded. "Right now, we might not have to fear him. But give him a little more ti, and I reckon even the two of us together won't be his match."
The two shared a bitter smile, filled with an indescribable mix of emotions.
...
"He... he killed the Iron Armor Tyrannosaurus in a single blow?" A muscle in Elder Luo's eye twitched violently.
When he saw Hong Yu's gaze sweep toward him, he couldn't help but gulp.
In a flash, he was gone, a trail of afterimages marking his mad dash into the earth below.
'Dammit, this kid is too unnatural! I can't keep fighting him. I have to run, get to the laboratory. Once I have his sister as a human shield, maybe I can hold him off...' As Elder Luo fled in disgrace, he continuously attacked the path behind him, collapsing the tunnel in his wake.
He was trying to use this thod to block Hong Yu's pursuit.
Above ground...
Hong Yu took a deep breath.
His expression turned grim. Just monts ago, he had learned from Little One that Elder Zhu was about to throw Yun ngyao into the Pill Cauldron. According to Little One's estimate, there were only about five minutes left, and the Pill Cauldron was several hundred ters away from here.
Separating them were layers upon layers of hard-packed earth!
Even with his power, it wouldn't be easy for Hong Yu to blast through hundreds of ters of soil. But with Xingtian here, things were different.
Hong Yu snorted, suppressing the rage in his chest. "Xingtian, blast it open!"
"ROAR!"
Xingtian sensed Hong Yu's suppressed fury, and a chilling light surfaced in his emotionless, gray-white eyes.
Xingtian twisted his neck with a loud "CRACK." He brought his fingers together, forming a Palm Blade.
Aiming at the sealed tunnel entrance, he unleashed a terrifying barrage with his hands.
"RUMBLE!"
With every palm strike, over a ter of earth exploded and scattered. The power of an Execution Corpse was imnse to begin with, and Xingtian had already passed the first Execution Corpse Tribulation, becoming a true First-Tribulation Execution Corpse. With his strength, splitting tal and shattering stone was a simple matter.
So what was breaking through re layers of soil?
But this speed was still too slow...
Two minutes later, they had only advanced thirty or forty ters.
Hong Yu grew increasingly anxious. In a low voice, he commanded, "Xingtian, stop holding back! Break through with all your speed!"
"ROAR!"
Xingtian nodded fiercely.
A black aura emanated from his body—the Unjust Death Black Lotus. Countless black tendrils covered his palms. He pressed his hands against the soil, and the tendrils seeped inside, infusing the earth with the vast power of the Unjust Death Black Lotus.
Any powerhouse who witnessed what happened next would never forget it for the rest of their lives...
"GURGLE... GURGLE... GURGLE!"
Across a massive area stretching over a hundred ters long and two hundred ters wide, cracks began to appear on the ground, regardless of any buildings standing above. It was as if the earth itself was splitting apart. Each fissure constantly widened as streaks of black light seeped out from within.
The effect spread like a plague.
The entire ground began to tremble.
"Wh-what's going on?"
"An earthquake?"
"It's not an earthquake! Y-you guys, look!"
The tens of thousands of onlookers felt the ground shake, making it difficult to stay balanced. Suddenly, soone pointed toward Elder Zhu's Mansion.
Streaks of black light suddenly shot up from beneath the ground.
One, two, three...
In the blink of an eye, innurable beams of black light had pierced the earth, leaving it looking like a sieve. Elder Zhu's entire mansion was devastated, pockmarked with craters, and the massive fissures continued to widen and spread.
"Explode! Explode to your heart's content!"
Hong Yu stood behind Xingtian, a vicious glint flickering in his eyes.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
The ground closest to Xingtian suddenly exploded. Dozens of cubic ters of earth erupted, spewing jets of mud like a volcanic eruption. This was followed by another explosion, and another, a continuous chain of detonations whose Heaven- and Earth-penetrating roar shook the world.
EXPLODE! EXPLODE! EXPLODE!!
The earth trembled and the sky shook. Black light shot to the heavens as one explosion after another ripped through the ground.
A festival of explosions raged across the land. Huge chunks of heavy earth were thrown aside like blankets, revealing the dark structures hidden beneath the ground.
The explosions lasted a full minute. Beneath Elder Zhu's Mansion, the dark prison that had held countless powerhouses with special constitutions was finally exposed to the sun for the first ti. As the last chunk of earth was blown away, Elder Zhu—who was holding Yun ngyao with one hand, ready to throw her into the Pill Cauldron—was also revealed in the light of day.
The color instantly drained from her face.
Above ground...
Hong Yu stared at the frail girl held in Elder Zhu's grasp, watching her struggle weakly. A bitter pang and an endless rage surged through him. Flas seed to erupt from his eyes, and the Godslaying Spear in his hand, sensing its master's fury, pulsed with a sharp Spear Aura.
A roar of fury that seed to eclipse the sun and moon, like rolling Thunder Sound, shook Elder Zhu and Elder Luo to their core. A look of terror crept onto their faces...
"You son of a bitch, I'll kill you!"
