within the Spiritual Stone Vein_2 Chapter 962: Chapter 468 Demonic Beasts of Mortal Transcendence Realm within the Spiritual Stone Vein_2 A sensation of the earth trembling and mountains shaking suddenly emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful aura, not weaker than that of a cultivator at the Early-Phase Transcendent Realm, enveloped Luo Yao and the others abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner of this aura was not a human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed… to be some sort of mysterious, unknown Demonic Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yao along with Luo Ze, at the very moment this aura appeared, also came to understand something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within this vein of low-grade spirit stones, there must be some powerful entity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been that just after they had sealed this vein,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>such an aura emerged so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This aura… seems a bit off,” Luo Ze said with a frown to Luo Yao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mhm, I feel it too,” Luo Yao nodded, affirming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them were no ordinary people, naturally sensing that the owner of this aura was no simple being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be careful,” Luo Yao said to those nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this vein of low-grade spirit stones was only fifty meters in length, it had taken them about half an hour to seal it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should a battle truly break out, whether the formation could remain stable and suppress all the aura within a ten-mile radius was still an unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following a roar that felt almost tangible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive figure appeared suddenly before everyone’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a Demonic Beast of about ten meters in height,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>radiating an aura as sturdy as iron and stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, this was a beast equivalent to a human cultivator at the Initial Realm of Mortal Transcendence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This seems to be an Ironback Lizard…” Luo Ze said, his brow furrowed, to Luo Yao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ironback Lizard?” Luo Yao was slightly startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time he had heard this name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, judging by the aura of this Ironback Lizard, it didn’t seem like a particularly strong Demonic Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, this doesn’t seem to be a typical Ironback Lizard,” Luo Ze emphasized with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A common Ironback Lizard could at best be equivalent to a human cultivator in the Blood Refinement Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this Ironback Lizard exuded an aura equivalent to the human cultivators at the Initial Stage of Mortal Transcendence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was unnervingly strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, this is a mutated Ironback Lizard,” Luo Yao concurred with a frown, addressing the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be cautious, it appears to have awakened its spiritual intelligence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Luo Yao spoke these words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ironback Lizard seemed to have noticed the presence of Luo Yao and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its crimson eyes stared intently at them, and the corners of its mouth even revealed a sinister smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>its colossal body charged towards Luo Yao and the rest like a swift arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch out!” Luo Yao shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then with a wave of his hand, a half-man-tall Golden Shield materialized in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, this half-man-tall Golden Shield was the life-saving object Luo Yao had requested from Patriarch Changfeng before leaving the Luo Family Ancestral Land of Qingshi City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ironback Lizard slammed fiercely against the Golden Shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a terrifying force was transmitted from the shield to Luo Yao’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Luo Yao possessed the strength of the Intermediate Stage of Mortal Shedding Realm, the Ironback Lizard was after all on par with the strength of the Initial Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as a Demonic Beast, its strength was naturally extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, when this terrifying force was transmitted to Luo Yao,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he felt his body shudder before he was sent flying backwards heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master!” An exclamation suddenly sounded from a high ground not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a figure cloaked in black swiftly appeared by Luo Yao’s side and steadied him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner of this shadow was Zhen, one of the Three Great Commanders of the Shadow Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cultivation had already reached the Early-Phase Transcendent Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength of the Ironback Lizard present before him was comparable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if they really started to fight…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yao thought that the chances of victory would undoubtedly be much higher for the Zhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough, cough…” Although he was being supported by the Zhen beside him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the terrible power still made Luo Yao’s throat sweet, as if there was a hint of blood in his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mortal Transcendence Initial Stage demonic beasts… indeed are not simple,” Luo Yao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said lightly to the people beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huffing and puffing…” The massive Ironback Lizard, after slamming into the Golden Shield, also stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its blood-red eyes emanated a bit of a cruel glint, staring intently at Luo Yao and the others not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it opened its huge mouth again and charged towards Luo Yao and the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Insolent beast, don’t get cocky…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhen standing behind Luo Yao, one of the Shadow Guard Three Great Commanders, looked at the Ironback Lizard still eager to attack them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fearsome aura unique to an early-phase Mortal Transcendence Realm powerhouse burst forth from Zhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the atmosphere emanating from the Ironback Lizard and the aura exploding from Zhen’s body collided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the stalemate, it seemed to be a standoff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when it came to combat experience and inherent strength,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>whether it’s battle experience or strength,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Ironback Lizard was far inferior to the Zhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, when their auras were locked in the air,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Ironback Lizard finally could not withstand the pressure of the aura exploding from Zhen and was forcefully repelled dozens of meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huff…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the Ironback Lizard being pushed dozens of meters back, Zhen also exhaled deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not that he felt his strength was less than that of the beast,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but rather, he was afraid that due to his own negligence, something unexpected might happen to Luo Yao, the Young Family Head at his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, a quick battle was naturally Zhen’s first thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the gap in strength between him and the Ironback Lizard was significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to suppress it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This demonic beast seems to be not simple, I advise that you order a retreat,” Zhen said quietly after a moment, and then spoke to Luo Yao beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Ironback Lizard before them was not considered a very powerful demonic beast,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>no one could ensure that there were no other demonic beasts inside this spiritual stone vein.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Retreat?” Luo Yao was slightly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their goal for this expedition was the low-grade spiritual stone vein.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they retreated now, their purpose for this trip would be in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Do you still plan to advance further?” Zhen looked at Luo Yao and said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of strength, of course, he was not inferior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Ironback Lizard, equivalent to an early-phase Mortal Transcendence Realm, was indeed a bit too troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, since we’re here, let’s be at ease,” Luo Yao shook his head and said to Zhen: “I’ll ensure my own safety, you deal with that Ironback Lizard first…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Zhen nodded and responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a wave of his hand, a blood-red broadsword suddenly appeared in Zhen’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Luo Yao’s Golden Shield was only meant for protection,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then this blood-red broadsword was specifically designed for combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it was a Spiritual Artifact that only Rebirth Realm Cultivators could use!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhen’s palm trembled, the blood-red broadsword immediately emitted a buzzing resonance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhen’s figure, like a bolt of lightning, suddenly appeared in front of the Ironback Lizard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Zhen’s sudden appearance in front of the Ironback Lizard,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the blood-red broadsword in his hand instantly transformed into a streak of bloody lightning, fiercely cleaving down on the massive head of the Ironback Lizard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with Zhen’s fierce attack, the Ironback Lizard let out an angry roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, its blood-red eyes also revealed a trace of cruel light.\u003C\u002Fp>",1330,"2026-06-03T12:44:29.302Z","2026-06-03T12:44:34.465Z",1,"novelbin.me","ac5887e3a22e54d58f12d04b9a5c862219f82ff9a26dbd3ae95ba67c65e721bd","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-965","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-963",2094,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--cover.jpg"]
