Chapter 584: Words Speak, Laws Follow

Deep within the core zone.

A pair of massive eyes slowly opened a slit.

In an instant, two bizarre, demonic crimson pupils were exposed to the void, their depths seeming to contain an endless sea of blood, flashing a hint of displeasure at being disturbed and a chilling, piercing murderous radiance.

The Boundary Abyss Beast Lord slowly rose to his feet.

What seemed merely a simple act of standing up, however, appeared to tug at the very laws of heaven and earth within the core zone.

A muffled thunderous roar echoed from deep underground, and the ground of the entire core zone began to tremble slightly, with shards of stone rattling down as if collapse could occur at any moment.

Buzz—

An invisible pressure wave, like ripples caused by a stone thrown into a calm lake, radiated outward from the Boundary Abyss Beast Lord in concentric circles, and wherever it passed, the space shimmered with visible ripples.

When this pressure tide reached the front ranks of the Heavenly Pride troops, Yuan Yao and her companions' expressions shifted slightly, and they instantly gathered their strength to resist.

"Stop!" Yuan Yao suddenly raised her hand.

The Heavenly Pride troops halted.

Soon, they sensed a terrifying aura rapidly closing in on this spot.

"Scatter quickly—"

The Heavenly Pride troops scattered swiftly, and in that very instant, the ground where they had just stood exploded open, immediately forming a massive deep pit.

Many Heavenly Pride members, seeing this, paled in shock, their hearts still trembling.

A vast shadow then descended from above their heads.

Looking up, they saw the Boundary Abyss Beast Lord already before them, its claw slashing toward them.

That extreme pressure aura rendered dozens of Heavenly Pride unable to resist, utterly powerless!

Their hearts raced wildly, and their skin seemed as if it would be torn by the pressure, causing intense pain!

At the critical moment—

Yuan Yao and her companions attacked the Boundary Abyss Beast Lord, diverting its attention.

Soon, hundreds of Three-Clan Heavenly Pride unleashed divine abilities, treasure light soaring, spell sigils filling the sky, all converging to assault the massive creature.

However, their attacks on the Boundary Abyss Beast Lord were like a mud ox entering the sea; aside from stirring waves of energy and producing muffled 'bang bang clank' sounds, none of the techniques could truly wound the Beast Lord even a fraction!

Its seemingly rough skin was, in fact, tougher than refined steel, with defense reaching terrifying extremes.

"Phantom Spirit Converge, Break!"

Yuan Yao, seeing this, narrowed her gaze; the Phantom Spirit Sword in her hand hummed, its blade streaming with dreamlike seven‑colored radiance.

She poured all her spiritual energy into it without reservation and swung a sword!

A colossal, unmatched seven‑colored sword‑shadow, bearing a space‑tearing, fierce aura, boldly slashed toward the Boundary Abyss Beast Lord's head!

"Clang!"

A deafening sound rang out as the sword‑shadow struck the faint black energy shield that had materialized before the Beast Lord's head, only to be violently rebounded, unable to advance; the shield merely quivered briefly before restoring itself.

The Boundary Abyss Beast Lord precisely recognized Yuan Yao as the leader.

Its crimson pupils suddenly narrowed, two ferocious beams locking onto Yuan Yao, and a terrifying pressure many times stronger than before erupted instantly, bearing suffocating murderous intent straight at Yuan Yao!

Yuan Yao's gaze shifted slightly, sensing danger; she swiftly crossed the Phantom Spirit Sword before her chest, mustering all her spiritual power to block.

Boom!

The invisible pressure collided with Yuan Yao's sword in midair; she felt as if struck by an ancient ferocious beast, her qi and blood roiling, her arm tingling, and the Phantom Spirit Sword nearly slipping from her grasp!

She was violently blasted away!

Just as Yuan Yao was about to crash helplessly to the ground—

A white figure flashed in; Xie Yan's eyes were urgent as he steadily grasped her back, injecting a gentle yet pure spiritual force that absorbed the impact.

A thin line of crimson blood welled at Yuan Yao's mouth corner; she turned her head to meet Xie Yan's gaze.

Both swords emerged together, their auras intertwining and stacking, forming a piercing sword qi that spanned heaven and earth, seemingly capable of tearing the heavens and cutting the Milky Way, surging forward to slash the Boundary Abyss Beast Lord's massive body!

"Roar—!"

The Boundary Abyss Beast Lord let out a deafening roar.

The roar contained its terrifying spiritual power and a lethal sound‑wave attack!

The sound wave, like a tangible shockwave, spread instantly, easily shattering Yuan Yao and Xie Yan's unstoppable sword technique!

Its roar reverberated throughout the core zone, like ten thousand thunderclaps exploding simultaneously.

Many weaker Heavenly Pride felt their eardrums tear in an instant, their minds filled with roaring, severe tinnitus and headache nearly causing them to faint, blood uncontrollably seeping from their ears, staining their earlobes red.

They endured the excruciating pain, mustering remaining strength to barely keep their bodies upright, avoiding collapse.

"Yuan Wind, Heavenly Snow!" Yuan Yao wiped the blood from her mouth corner, her gaze sharp as a blade, and immediately summoned her contract beast.

"Aaa—"

A majestic dragon roar rang through heaven and earth as a colossal Golden Dragon materialized out of thin air, its body coiling for dozens of zhang, its whole form covered in shimmering metallic gold scales, exuding the powerful aura of an eighth‑stage mid‑level Divine Beast.

At the same time, a small Snow Beast appeared beside Yuan Yao, looking cute yet emanating a formidable eighth‑stage early‑stage piercing cold aura.

The pink‑haired youth standing in the void, sword in hand, uttered two words.

"Nine‑Infant."

The ferocious Nine‑Infant was summoned instantly.

Quan Xiu also summoned the Chaotic Beast.

All beasts faced the enemy head‑on!

On the right, the Demon‑Clan Heavenly Pride instantly revealed their true shadow forms, charging the Boundary Abyss Beast Lord with beastly ferocity!

On the left, the dense black demonic aura was as solid as matter; the Demon‑Clan Heavenly Pride's blood‑thirsty veins seemed ignited, surging upward!

Directly ahead, the Chu Yuan squad unleashed their spell techniques!

At the rear, the Heavenly Pride troops swiftly attacked the Boundary Abyss Beast Lord's occiput.

At this moment, above the void not far away, Qian Yunzhou blew a jade flute.

The flute sound frenziedly stimulated the Abyssal Beast Lord's nerves.

Sikong Banxue stood in midair, her words becoming law: "Stabilize!"

As she finished speaking, the Abyssal Beast Lord's body stalled for a moment, and at that instant the Three-Clan Heavenly Pride unleashed a full-force strike!

Boom—

Explosive sounds continued!

Sikong Banxue suffered a backlash, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood, her face deathly pale, her body swaying, about to fall straight to the ground—

A figure flashed in and caught her.

It was Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao quickly fed her a pill, "You go first."

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Yao sent Sikong Banxue away with a formation.

Yuan Yao looked up at the Abyssal Beast Lord.

The Abyssal Beast Lord was wounded, and badly!

At the same time, it flew into a rage.

"Retreat!"

Yuan Yao shouted loudly.

Just as the heavenly pride wanted to retreat, they found their bodies locked by a terrifying beastly force, unable to move, an indescribable fear spreading through their hearts!

At this moment, only Yuan Yao, Xie Yan, Quan Li, and the Golden Dragon, Snow Beast, and Three Chaos Beasts could break free of the Bind.

They rushed toward the Abyssal Beast Lord at top speed!
