Chapter 238: Strange Beast Chaos

Still not enough!

Seeing that his sword strike hadn't injured anyone, merely shattering the strange bone in their hands, Qi Shaoyu raised his hand again!

Behind him, terrifying energy surged from all directions, quickly coalescing into a giant sword crackling with lightning! Before the sword could even strike, its dreadful aura already made the Great Expansion Sect cultivators on Cloud Immortal Island tremble with fear!

Looking at such a terrifying sword strike, not to mention them, even the whole Cloud Immortal Island probably couldn't withstand it! 'Elder, we can't block this strike!'

At this moment, several Dharma Appearance Realm experts opposite finally lost their composure.

The bones in their hands could block Qi Shaoyu's previous strike, but now they are severely damaged and absolutely cannot withstand this blow.

The burly Dharma Appearance Realm expert leading them, seeing this, looked grimly behind.

"Hold on a little longer; once the Immortal Lord appears, they'll all die!"

Hearing this, the several Dharma Appearance Realm experts, though unwilling, dared not resist; they could only channel all their strength into the bones in their hands, hoping to hold out for a moment.

The cracked bones, under the infusion of the Dharma Appearance Realm experts' entire blood qi, gradually emitted a dark glow! Moreover.

Under the pull of this dark glow, the bodies of several Dharma Appearance Realm experts began to uncontrollably draw toward each other.

Seeing this, they were instantly horrified.

"Elder, this is……"

The nameless bones were brought by that burly elder from the Great Expansion Dao Sect.

The burly elder merely told them that holding the bones could fend off attacks from Divine Connection Realm experts.

They still thought the bones were some precious treasure, never noticing anything odd.

Now, after infusing their own Blood Qi Power into them, they suddenly discovered their bodies had been taken over.

They were involuntarily drawn toward each other.

Although this phenomenon didn't harm them, several still sensed something was off.

Seeing this, the burly elder said coldly, 'Rest easy; in the future I will erect a longevity tablet for you in the Immortal Realm.'

As his words fell, several Dharma Appearance Realm experts were already being pulled by the dark glow and slammed together.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Damn it, what the hell is this?!"

"My hand!"

Several people's bodies were brutally squeezed together, wailing and screaming.

But the power of the dark glow continued.

Gradually, the flesh of those tightly pressed together began to merge—one person's body fused with another's, then a third person's head was sucked into the stomach.

The fourth person's back gradually absorbed the fifth person's legs!

Within the dark glow, several people were undergoing a bizarre transformation that made the scalp tingle.

All this happened so fast that even Qi Shaoyu, preparing to launch an attack, froze for a moment.

But she soon realized this bizarre change was definitely not good; they had to be dealt with before they fully merged.

Sword follows heart!

The giant sword behind him, wreathed in thunder, directly slashed at the several people rapidly merging!

Clang! The thunderous giant sword fiercely struck the area emitting the dark glow! The terrifying scene imagined did not appear.

A giant sword capable of cleaving Cloud Immortal Island in two was actually blocked by that dark glow!

Moreover.

Qi Shaoyu also discovered that the energy contained in his sword was being rapidly absorbed! It seemed his strike hadn't destroyed their fusion but instead infused it with energy, speeding up the merger! Unconvinced, he casually swung out several sword qi.

But when these sword qi struck the dark glow's sphere, not even a ripple appeared.

A terrifying energy was being born within the sphere formed by the dark glow.

From time to time, strange, low-pitched beast roars echoed from within.

Qi Shaoyu's expression turned grave.

She knew she had encountered a tough opponent this time.

Because the aura emanating from the unknown monster within the dark-glow sphere had already surpassed the Dharma Appearance Realm.

In other words, that monster is at least a Divine Connection Realm entity!

Within the sphere, the voices of several Dharma Appearance Realm experts grew weaker and weaker until they finally vanished completely.

The entire dark-glow sphere now resembled a giant heart, beating regularly.

As the aura grew stronger, Qi Shaoyu suddenly felt a bad premonition!

"Everyone, retreat!"

A thunderous shout rang in the ears of all Dark God Temple disciples!

After the Dark God Temple disciples fighting the Great Expansion Sect members momentarily staggered, they ignored everything else and hastily flew outward from the island!

Boom! A terrifying explosion sounded! The dark-glow sphere suddenly burst open! The terrifying ripples from the blast twisted the surrounding space.

The shockwave spread outward from the blast point in all directions! In an instant, the Dark God Temple disciples and Great Expansion Sect cultivators on the island hit by the terrifying energy ripples were shattered into blood mist! Of the ten thousand Dark God Temple disciples plus seven or eight thousand Great Expansion Sect martial artists, fewer than two thousand remained alive after the explosion.

These two thousand were the Dark God Temple disciples who, upon hearing Qi Shaoyu's retreat order, had no hesitation and immediately took flight.

As the smoke cleared, Qi Shaoyu gazed solemnly at the spot where the dark-glow sphere had been.

The sphere had vanished, replaced by a strange ferocious beast exuding a brutal aura all over.

It resembled a dog, fur-covered, four foots without claws, having a head but no seven orifices.

"What kind of monster is this?!" Beside Qi Shaoyu, Chu Ren Di frowned, gazing at the enormous ferocious beast that had appeared and asked.

Qi Shaoyu shook his head; having lived so long, he had never seen such a strange ferocious beast.

But his intuition told him that this ferocious beast before him was related to the bones previously held by several Dharma Appearance Realm experts.

Perhaps, that skeleton is this ferocious beast's.

It only absorbed the flesh and blood of a few people, plus the energy from its own sword strike, revealing its true form.

"Chaos, eat them."

Seeing the huge ferocious beast successfully appear, the burly elder of the Great Expansion Dao Sect shouted excitedly.

Whoosh! Chaos's head, lacking seven apertures, suddenly turned toward him.

Although it had no eyes, that elder of the Great Expansion Dao Sect could still feel Chaos's ferocious 'gaze'! "I'm the one who released you, you..."

The burly elder said while carefully stepping back a few steps, always ready to flee.

But Chaos seemed very dissatisfied with him.

Suddenly, a huge crack split open on the head lacking seven apertures!

A terrifying suction force quickly locked onto him! The burly elder struggled desperately, even drawing his weapon to slash at Chaos.

But faced with that deep vortex like the Gate of Nine Darknesses, all his attacks were directly devoured, even his body was sucked in! Chaos, having devoured the burly elder, seemed not satisfied.

It glanced at the blood mist drifting over Cloud Immortal Island and the corpses of some martial artists, then without a word increased its suction! In an instant, all the blood mist, martial artist corpses, including shattered mountain rocks, the martial artists' weapons, and the houses on the island, etc., were torn by a terrifying force and surged toward its 'mouth'! A large amount of stuff was sucked into the vortex, but Chaos's body showed no change.

Qi Shaoyu saw this, and a hint of shock appeared on Qi Shaoyu's face.

"Withdraw quickly!"

She waved a hand and unleashed a terrifying sword qi, directly cutting off that suction, and hurriedly had the surviving disciples of the Divine Palace retreat.

The monster named Chaos before them is too terrifying.

Actually, without her order, the surviving disciples of the Dark Divine Palace had already retreated dozens of li. This monster is clearly a bottomless pit; if their two thousand people charged forward, they wouldn't even be enough to fill the gap between someone's teeth.

"Now that it's not yet strong, we must kill it."

"Once it leaves Cloud Immortal Island, the entire Three Mountains Island will likely be completely devoured."

Eyes fixed on Chaos, Qi Shaoyu spoke.

Chu Renzi nodded.

This Chaos obviously has only the instincts of a ferocious beast, with little intelligence.

If we let it reach Three Mountains Island, the entire island's hundreds of millions of humans would likely be completely devoured.

"This beast can devour all energy; we cannot use long-range attacks."

Chu Ren Di spoke, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and a dark red dagger materialized.

He follows the path of slaughter; this dagger is a divine weapon he nurtured with his own killing intent.

Qi Shaoyu also took out their own golden greatsword.

After drawing their weapons, the two immediately flashed toward Chaos to attack.

After approaching Chaos, the two had been guarding against its attack, but suddenly discovered that this guy seemed inept at moving.

Its four legs, extremely uncoordinated, shifted direction, preparing to lock onto Chu Ren Di with that terrifying suction.

But Chu Ren Di's speed was great; before Chaos could lock onto his body, he had already moved to the other side.

Seeing Chaos's clumsy appearance, Qi Shaoyu was overjoyed, quickly flashing to its back to attack! Pfft! The sharp sword pierced Chaos's body directly! But strangely, no blood flowed from the wound.

After being stabbed by a sword, Chaos immediately jerked its head around, preparing to counterattack.

But its extremely ungainly body collapsed to the ground when it jerked its head.

By the time it struggled to its feet, Qi Shaoyu had already retreated to a distance.

Chaos grew somewhat angry; its faceless, orifice-less visage suddenly split open, and a vortex appeared.

Regardless of whether it could suck in its target, it unleashed a fierce inhalation toward its surroundings.

For a moment, large amounts of debris and the trees on the island were sucked into its belly.

Seeing this, Chu Ren Di quickly flashed to its rear; the scarlet dagger in his hand tore through space and viciously stabbed into its nape.

His strike, as one who follows the slaughter path, was not that simple.

As the dagger pierced Chaos's body, a stream of extremely pure killing intent was also injected into it.

Under normal circumstances, this killing intent would be enough to swiftly destroy the target's internal organs, churning everything inside into mincemeat.

But against Chaos, this move seemed to have failed.

Its nape stabbed, Chaos twisted its body frenziedly.

At this moment, it was like a high-powered vacuum cleaner, wobbling its body and sucking indiscriminately all around.

Although Qi Shaoyu and Chu Ren Di, relying on their speed advantage, could frequently inflict damage on it, they could not kill it in a short time.

"Lao Qi, this beast should be able to swiftly recover its wounds by utilizing the energy it has absorbed!"

After a period of fighting, Qi Shaoyu spoke.

Chu Ren Di frowned, feeling helpless as he looked at Chaos, still vigorous and lively.

This is just like the health-regeneration mechanism of a boss in an online game.

The two of them painstakingly chipped away a hundred HP, only for the boss to gulp it all back in one go.

If they kept fighting like that, they'd just wear themselves out; as long as the opponent could absorb energy, it would be completely fine.

"What should we do now?"

Chu Ren Di asked.

Qi Shaoyu pondered for a moment and murmured, "Right now there are only two options."

"First, find a way to prevent it from absorbing energy."

"Second, find a stronger means of attack, strike beyond its tolerance limit, and it should be possible to kill it!"

Hearing Qi Shaoyu's ideas, Chu Ren Di couldn't help but wryly smile.

These two methods could actually work.

But the key is that, whether it's the first or the second method, they are unable to carry it out.

Chaos can devour everything; to stop it from devouring energy, you must directly trap it in another space.

He and Qi Shaoyu are both God-Penetrating Realm powerhouses; a full-force strike can break open space.

But Chaos isn't an idiot; would it really just dive in on its own?

As for the second method, it seems even less possible.

In the earlier probe, they had already used their killing moves.

But they could do nothing to Chaos.

"Exactly!"

"We can have someone invite Senior Bone!"

Qi Shaoyu was thinking of a way to deal with Chaos when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck his mind.

Gu Yuxi is a True God Realm powerhouse; he might have a way to deal with this beast.

"Yes yes!"

Chu Ren Di, seeing this, immediately flashed out of the battle circle, then found a Divine Temple disciple at the Dharma Appearance Realm and ordered him to rush back for help.

After that disciple left, he returned to Qi Shaoyu's side.

Although the two could not inflict any lethal damage on Chaos, they could still drain its energy.

Thus, Chaos was continually tormented by the two.

Each time it reached a certain point, it would indiscriminately devour everything around it.

In the end, almost the entire Cloud Immortal Island was flattened by it, and a huge altar appeared in the middle of Cloud Immortal Island.

"What is that!!"

Qi Shaoyu looked at the altar in astonishment and said.

What appeared at the center of Cloud Immortal Island, though called an altar, was actually more like some kind of formation.

The complex and mysterious patterns emanated a power that could suppress everything; the two could feel that stepping on it would instantly turn them into mortals.

But at that moment, the four huge pools surrounding the altar were continuously pouring foul-smelling liquid onto the altar; under the corrosion of these nauseating liquids, the suppressive patterns on the altar were gradually weakening.

At this moment, the two finally understood the plan of the Great Expansion Sect.

They had infiltrated Three Mountains Island; their true purpose was neither to preach nor to secretly continue attacking the Dark Divine Temple.

They had come straight for Cloud Immortal Island.

Whatever is sealed beneath that altar must be a tremendous killing weapon.

Otherwise, the Great Expansion Dao Sect would not care so much.

"Old Seven, hold that beast; I'll find a way to destroy those four pools—under no circumstances can what's below be released."

The Great Expansion Dao Sect would not hesitate to use such a troublesome beast as Chaos to release whatever lies beneath the altar.

This is enough to prove that what lies beneath the altar is very important to the Great Expansion Dao Sect! If what's inside really came out, for the Dark Divine Temple it would be like gaining a powerful enemy out of nowhere! (End of chapter)
