Chapter 1206: The Wild Beast

They followed the two warriors and checked with psychic power. The new immortals witnessed something horrifying. Lu Li cast one glance, and his mind and soul were equally shocked.
In the distance in the mountains entrenched a huge beast. When the beast was not moving, people could not tell it apart from the mountain. In the nine universes, the largest beast had a length of thousands of feet. Even the Dragon Demon was about two thousand feet long. But this beast was longer than five thousand feet and higher than hundreds of feet. It was practically a mountain.
The size was not the most important factor. What was more terrifying was the beast’s energy and appearance. The huge beast had two eyes like the blood moon. When someone checked its two eyes with psychic power, they would feel a tingling in their souls, and someone cried out due to the pain...
Once they became immortals, their souls were transformed. Right now, just because they scanned the eyes of a beast, their souls were hurt. How strong was the beast?
This beast had two horns like a saw blade. Looking from the distance, the horns were just like two weapons. There were such saw blade-like spikes on the back of the beast as well. The saw blades let out a chilly energy. The new immortals had a feeling that even a Relic armor could be pierced through by those spikes.
A couple of days ago, under the Ascending Cliff, that beast only showed its head. At that time, the new immortals did not have such a strong feeling. Now, this wild beast was displaying every bit in front of them, and its energy was at the prime stage. Everyone was frightened. The thrill and joy that belonged to a new immortal were shattered.
What Lu Li felt now was just like when he first met a Beast King in the Northern Desert. He felt so puny and vulnerable. Bu Qianye said that this was an average beast. Then how powerful were the strong ones? Lu Li could not imagine.
“Whoosh~”
The two blue-armored warriors flew over. Compared with that huge wild beast, it was as if the two warriors were two flies. Their sizes differed and constituted a strong visual intrusion. Still, the two warriors dashed toward the beast fearlessly. They were going to kill the two beasts.
Their blue armors were evidently Relic armors. They held two blue spears—identical ones. It seemed that the Relic armors and weapons were crafted and distributed by the Vicissitude House. This should be one of the benefits enjoyed by warriors in the prefecture army.
The two dashed toward the beast from two sides. Lu Li and the others watched closely. This was too good a chance to let go of.
“Swish~”
One of them dashed away in a blur and vanished. He had become a blue spear and pierced into the left side of the huge beast. The other person was distracting the beast in the front. He wiggled his spear. Several blue flood dragons whooshed out toward the beast.
“Wait?”
Lu Li was surprised because the blue-armored warriors’ actions did not cause any turbulence in space. Their moves were not magnificent or breathtaking. If anything, they were common.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
On the other hand, the wild beast’s strikes were spectacular. Several spikes left its body and flew out quickly. Everywhere the spike touched, the space would tremble, and the ripples would spread out. When the beast wagged its tail, it would cause trembles in space as well.
“Well... the space in the Divinity is stable. Still, the beast can cause trembling in space. Impressive! I heard that only mighty warriors and above can create cracks in space in the Divinity.”
Someone next to Lu Li exclaimed. Lu Li understood better now. It was not the two warriors that were weak. It was just that the space in the Divinity was too stable.
It was not surprising. In the mortal world, the larger the world was, the more stable the space would be. It was said that the Divinity was boundless. In such a vast place, it was hard to imagine how stable the space was.
“So fast!”
That person said in surprise again. Lu Li checked with psychic power. The blue-armored warrior that was in front of the beast was dodging and moving about in the air at a horrifying speed, avoiding being hit by the spikes.
Those spikes did not disappear. They would fly back at an equally fast speed as they chased after the prefecture warrior. However, the blue-armored warrior’s ability to speed up in an instant was also shocking. He could always move away from being struck at a critical moment.
“Bang~”
The other warrior had been successful in his actions. He dashed out from the other side of the beast, leaving a hole through the beast’s body.
“Roar, roar~”
The beast was boiling with anger. More spikes flew out, and the beast swung its tail like crazy. The beast was still aiming at the warrior before it. The other warrior was turning around and once again pierced into the beast.
“This wild beast has low intelligence, like the Dragon Beast, or even... more ignorant.”
Lu Li nodded. He had known the tactics of the two warriors. One of them was distracting the beast in the front while the other warrior attacked from the sides. The wild beast was not intelligent, and it was huge. To move about was difficult. Gradually, the beast would be tortured to death.
The prefecture warrior that was distracting the beast was alarmingly fast. The one attacking from the side was fierce. Their cooperation was perfect, and they were calm so they must have fought against wild beasts often.
While they observed, Lu Li and the others wondered what they should do if they ran into wild beasts.
Soon, they realized that they did not know. Their strength could not harm the defense of the wild beast, and their speed was not fast enough to get them away from the spikes.
To make it worse...
When they were near a wild beast, they would probably be overwhelmed by the energy and momentum of the beast. They would lose their abilities and eventually their lives.
With more and more holes on its body, the beast was losing blood which had formed into a stream in the valley. In a fit of rage, the beast flattened many peaks with its tail. The battleground turned messy.
“Boom~”
An hour later, the huge beast fell to the ground. The beast had been tortured to death. The two blue-armored warriors took out a blue saber and began to cut open the beast. They collected many materials and returned to the Beast of the Void.
“Buzzing!”
The Beast of the Void glowed in blue and flew into the distance. Bu Qianye opened his mouth all of a sudden, “Wild beasts are categorized as ground-level, celestial-level, and holy-level. This wild beast here is of the lowest level. Only mighty warriors and above can kill celestial-level wild beasts and only super-mighty warriors and above can kill holy-level wild beasts. Well... there is another level, the king-level. Such wild beasts can be as powerful as supreme warriors. But almost all such wild beasts have been killed. Those wild beasts can only be found in the historical sites, secret regions, and perilous places.”
Bu Qianye explained but said nothing more. Lu Li remembered that the Slayer died in a perilous place. He felt a rush of thrill within him. How many historical sites, secret regions, and perilous places were here in this ancient land? How many secrets and treasures were hidden here? How dangerous the Divinity would be?
“I wonder if the Mountain of Vicissitudes is safe.”
Lu Li thought of the mountain they were headed toward in the distance. He did not worry about serving there. What he was concerned about was if there was a guarantee of safety. Lu Li was not afraid of the hidden dangers in the mountain, but he was wary of Yan Tiangang.
Yan Tiangang must have been monitoring his ascending. There could be surviving members of the Yan Family that had notified Yan Tiangang about Lu Li ascending through a special channel.
Yan Tiangang must have started to search for Lu Li’s ascending place. Perhaps, Yan Tiangang had dispatched spies to the Mountain of Vicissitudes.
Yan Tiangang would try hard to have Lu Li killed in the following year to take revenge...
