Chapter 8: The First Battle With Fierce Beasts: Endless Destruction!

The sea was calm and the waves were placid.

Across the sea, a boat made of leaf hundreds of feet long, soared through the sky. A white-robed Taoist sat cross-legged upon it.

This was a means of transportation that Yuan Lian made from the leaves of Huang Zhongli.

Although it was only an acquired spirit artifact, its simple functions allowed it to focus entirely on speed.

This simplicity made it extremely fast; its speed was not much slower than personal flight.

“Why haven’t I reached the shore yet!!!”

Yuan Lian had flown for over 1000 years yet he had still not reached the Great Desolate Continent.

“Could it be possible to fly a few more yuan hui?” Yuan Lian fell mused silently.

“This world is really too big, too big.”

“I am afraid that only the Saints can transverse the Great Desolation with a single thought.”

Yuan Lian recalled the legend that Pangu created the world, finding it impossible to imagine such a scene with his limited comprehension.

‘Only now, through personal experience can I truly grasp its immensity.’

‘How formidable was the Pangu of legend? Could such power truly be controlled?’

“This is just a sea area in the primordial world, so how vast is the entire primordial world?”

“But that’s right, only such a vast and boundless stage can be worthy of the legendary primordial era when Eternal Immortals walked all over the world and Golden Immortals were not as good as dogs.”

Shaking off his reverie, Yuan Lian immersed himself in his cultivation again and let the flying boat go all the way west.

The sun and the moon circulate, cycled eternally.

Yuan Lian’s flying boat was still speeding, like a shooting star, shining brightly, skimming across the sea at an extremely fast speed.

But suddenly, a terrifying aura disrupted his calm.

Roar!!!

An extremely violent roar resounded through the sky.

Following the roar, extremely chaotic spiritual energy spread across the sea and sky.

Click!!

It felt like the sky was falling, time and space were collapsing, and everything was being destroyed.

This was the ultimate, deadly divine ability. Who had shattered many spaces, and his ultimate goal was Yuan Lian in the sky.

The violent spirit energy in sky warned Yuan Lian, awakening him, who was immersed in his practice, forcing him to open his eyes.

“Looking for death!”

Yuan Lian stood up suddenly, a snort escaped his eyes, indifference chilling his eyes, as he released spiritual energy full of Dao of Purification.

The spirit energy shines, along with the power of mid-stage Golden Immortal infused the spirit energy, which was more than ten thousand times stronger before, when Yuan Lian was in early stage.

Boom!!

The sound waves caused by the aura colliding shattered the space inch by inch in a radius of thousand miles from the collision point.

The aura was shattered, and the sound wave was crushed.

The terrifying fluctuations stirred up the thousands of miles of raging waves, and Yuan Lian stepped forward to put away the ancient leaf flying boat that made a creaking sound.

Then the whole person disappeared between Heaven and Earth.

Void escape method.

Since Yuan Lian refined the island’s innate protection formation, he comprehended various mysteries of pocket dimension while studying it.

It allowed him to break through layers of space in an instant and enter the pocket dimension instantly. It was an essential divine ability for travel and self-defense.

After entering the pocket dimension, Yuan Lian, who was angry but also clear-headed, didn’t made move immediately, instead chose to check the enemy with his spiritual sense.

There he saw a giant beast in the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm.

“Damn it, damn it!”

“I will kill that bastard.”

Yuan Lian emerged from the pocket dimension, bringing out twelve Sea Calming Pearls he had refined, and slammed down on the giant beast fiercely.

Twelve Sea Calming Pearls had been fully refined; their energy and mechanism now integrated as one, giving them a power level not much less than that of a Middle-Grade Spirit Treasure.

In an instant, the attack was like a meteor falling to the ground, or as if the sky itself was collapsing, the space buckled, and the spiritual energy was violently compressed.

Roar!

Facing the mighty, abyssal force that sought to imprison it, the giant beast covered in black and treacherous energy, but it didn’t care about it, after roaring it charged straight up.

Boom!!

The shock that resounded through the sky followed the collision. The impact broke and spread incompatible laws, radiating outward.

The violent and terrifying spiritual energy turned into waves, sweeping through the void for hundreds of millions of miles, and the space was collapsing.

Behind the collapsing void, the endless violent wind raged, instantly swallowing and drowning the beasts.

“It didn’t die? Its vitality is so tenacious?”

Yuan Lian, who stood in the sky, stared at the battlefield. He clearly felt that the life signature of the giant beast, though swallowed by void had not dissipated.

Sure enough, in the next moment, the giant beast directly tore through the space and walked out.

The strange mist covering the giant beast’s body had dispersed, allowing Yuan Lian to clearly see its true form.

It was several miles in size, looking like a cow covered in scales. Two fangs protruded from its lower jaw upward, giving it a truly ferocious face.

However, at this moment, scales were broken, strange black blood flowed like a spring, and its eyes were filled with endless resentment and hatred.

There was no doubt that it was a powerful and terrifying creature, but it seemed a bit miserable at the moment.

Yuan Lian’s furious and violent blow was not so easily resisted; the suppressive law of Heaven and Earth from the Sea Calming Pearls shrouded its wounds, preventing them from regenerating.

“No sanity? How can you have no sanity after becoming a Golden Immortal?”

Only then did Yuan Lian realize that the fierce beast had no intelligence. Yet, even the monsters who had just embarked on cultivation and possessed a nascent primordial spirit had intelligence from birth.

“Could it be…”

Suddenly, Yuan Lian faintly thought of something, and his gaze instantly sharpened.

“Down!”

Without hesitation, he manipulated the Sea Calming pearls again, and vast spiritual energy poured out to subdue the beast.

Roar!!

The ferocious beast roared wildly after experiencing the terrifying power just now. Although it had no intelligence, its physical instinct made it subconsciously avoid the attack and charge towards Yuan Lian itself.

Its roar sounded, and every piece of scale armor on its body burst into a strange black light; extremely weird, alien laws coalesced, forming a power utterly antithetical to the Primordial World’s Dao.

The laws collided, and the fierce beast was hit hard again. Yet, amplified by the strange law, the fierce beast only became more and more ferocious.

Roar!!

It roared angrily, and broke through the suppression of the Sea Calming Pearl with the help of strange laws, and a strange and terrifying black light condensed and spread out.

The black light streaked across the space, destroying everything in its path- the space corroded, the spiritual energy corrupted, and everything returned to ruins.

No, it is not so much destruction as the transformation from the essence of all things, turning all tangible things into chaos.

“The Law of Corruption!”

Sensing this alien and terrifying supernatural power, Yuan Lian did not dare to be careless.

He knew he could not allow such an attack to take root. The World Purifying White Lotus, immediately appeared beneath his feet, and Yuan Lian unleashed the ‘Law of Purification’ once again.

‘The spiritual light of World Purification is perfect way to restrain this evil and strange supernatural power.’

Hisss~~

Like a red-hot iron plunged into a cold spring, the two powers fought, creating a thick smoke from evaporating and an ear-piercing sound.

In the next moment, the bright light shines, and the vast and boundless law of the world-purifying spiritual energy completely purifies the strange black energy.

“Like Heaven and Earth- Cut!” Yuan Lian stepped forward and arrived directly in front of the ferocious beast.

Yuan Lian appeared like an eternal lotus blooming in the vast chaos.

Displaying a powerful technique, a stalwart body burst forth with immeasurable light, manifesting a vast and boundless aura that swept hundreds of millions of miles.

Yuan Lian used his hand as a blade, condensed the light of the purity, and slashed down.

The scale armor, which had been strong enough to resist the Sea Calming Pearls, now seemed extremely fragile. As the light flashed, the beast was instantly divided into two.

“Wait! Wait!!”

The ferocious beast roared mournfully, but it hadn’t died yet.

‘It can still fight! Its instinct is relentlessly driving it to continue!’
