The Fire Lin Beast stood atop the peak, gazing down at the Ice-Bound Profound Python in the valley, its body enveloped in swirling flames, looking just like a giant fireball blazing on the mountain.
The scorching heat wafted through the air, and the temperature around quickly rose.
Xiao Yang felt a wave of heat wash over him, leaving him parched and dry.
In the valley, the Ice-Bound Profound Python also lifted its head, fixating on the Fire Lin Beast on the peak, exuding an intense chill. Frost had already begun to form on the ground where the Python rested.
Chills radiated from the Ice-Bound Profound Python, dispersing the heat waves.
Xiao Yang then felt the cold creeping into his bones.
The two Ninth Level Spiritual Beasts faced off, separated by distance.
Two terrifying auras echoed through the mountains.
Heat and cold clashed in the valley.
Xiao Yang felt like he was caught in a world of ice and fire, sometimes seared by heat, and at other times freezing as if trapped in an ice cave.
A bit hard to handle!
At this moment, Chu Xiao, who was lying dead on the ground, stealthily crawled away.
Xiao Yang noticed the guy but didn’t intervene.
Another disciple of the Guiyuan Martial Sect also slipped away discreetly.
Chu Guiyuan didn’t care about their fates, prioritizing his own escape.
These two were probably seething with hatred for Chu Guiyuan.
Nearby cultivators quickly fled the area.
After all, they were dealing with a Ninth Level Spiritual Beast, a powerhouse rivaling the pinnacle of the Divine Martial Realm.
If those two engaged in a full-blown battle, the aftermath would surely be catastrophic.
Getting caught in it would mean certain death or serious injury!
At this moment, a low rumble echoed from the peak.
The Fire Lin Beast was growling.
Xiao Yang focused on the Fire Lin Beast on the peak.
He saw the creature adorned with bright red scales, sharp horns protruding from its head, flames blazing around it, warping the air. Occasional bursts of fire popped off, adding to the chaotic atmosphere.
A tremendous aura radiated from the Fire Lin Beast.
The surviving birds and beasts in the mountains scattered in a panic.
In the valley, the Ice-Bound Profound Python flicked its tongue towards the Fire Lin Beast on the peak, releasing a powerful chill, causing the ground around it to freeze.
Feeling the oppressive cold, Xiao Yang quickly retreated to a safer distance.
He had the Taiyin Dragon Pearl, which made this giant Python wary of him.
Even without the Taiyin Dragon Pearl, Xiao Yang wouldn’t fear the Python.
With his current entry-level cultivation in the Divine Martial Realm and his formidable twelfth-level Sword Intent, he could hold his own against this Ninth Level Spiritual Beast.
He had just engaged in a brief skirmish with the Ice-Bound Profound Python in the cave earlier.
Xiao Yang didn’t manage to bring the Python down, and the Ice-Bound Profound Python couldn’t do anything to him either.
Moreover, Xiao Yang had noticed that the Ice-Bound Profound Python seemed very afraid of the Taiyin Dragon Pearl’s aura.
The moment he released its aura, the creature would flee far away.
At this point, Xiao Yang had already activated the Futu Cangjian Technique, concealing all of his aura.
Even a Martial Saint in the Sacred Martial Realm would probably struggle to detect his presence.
“Roar!”
With a deafening roar, the Fire Lin Beast crouched down and suddenly leapt off the peak.
“Boom!”
The entire mountaintop exploded, dust rising into the sky, rocks flying everywhere.
The Fire Lin Beast initiated the attack, diving straight toward the Ice-Bound Profound Python in the valley.
Xiao Yang looked up to see it shrouded in flames, like a blazing meteor plunging from the sky towards the Ice-Bound Profound Python.
The terrifying heat wave mingled with the chill in the valley, immediately wrapping the place in mist.
Just then, an ice-blue beam of light pierced through the fog, slamming into the descending Fire Lin Beast.
“Boom!”
With a massive explosion, the Fire Lin Beast shattered the ice-blue beam, crashing into the valley.
“Rumbling…”
The entire valley shook violently.
It was the great clash of ice and fire.
Xiao Yang observed the scene, feeling the burst of chaotic energy. He calmly retreated to the valley’s edge, then soared into the air, landing atop a small rocky hill.
Arms crossed, he watched the fierce battle ahead.
These two spiritual beasts were birthed from the premium earth veins of this region.
The Fire Spiritual Veins gave rise to the Fire Lin Beast.
The Cold Ice Spiritual Veins yielded the Ice-Bound Profound Python.
However, in the previous life, both Ninth Level Spiritual Beasts faced misfortune when Qin Fei’s men triggered an explosion of the earth veins’ spiritual energy.
Even mighty Ninth Level Spiritual Beasts couldn’t withstand that destructive force.
Thus, in that previous life, both the Fire Lin Beast and the Ice-Bound Profound Python disappeared with the earth veins.
But in this life, the Taiyin Dragon Pearl Xiao Yang brought along devoured the earth veins that were destined to explode.
In this way, the Fire Lin Beast and the Ice-Bound Profound Python had miraculously survived.
Xiao Yang hadn’t expected these two Ninth Level Spiritual Beasts to make it.
After all, the earth veins’ spiritual energy had already been triggered.
Now, both spiritual beasts were alive, lurking in the abandoned earth veins while occasionally springing out to ambush unsuspecting cultivators looking to scavenge.
Chu Guiyuan aimed to subdue these two Ninth Level Spiritual Beasts, but it ended up backfiring badly.
At this moment, in the valley, the two Ninth Level Spiritual Beasts fought fiercely.
These two had long been mortal enemies.
As the chaos unfolded, a figure suddenly emerged from the misty valley, crashing against the valley wall.
It was a flame-wreathed figure.
The Fire Lin Beast had been knocked back by the Ice-Bound Profound Python?
In the next instant, a series of sharp ice blades shot out from the fog, cleaving towards the Fire Lin Beast.
Roaring angrily, the Fire Lin Beast erupted in flames, sweeping outward.
It swung its sharp horns, effortlessly shattering those ice blades.
Simultaneously, the Ice-Bound Profound Python lunged at the Fire Lin Beast, unleashing an ice-blue beam.
Seeing this, the Fire Lin Beast dashed upward, dodging the incoming ice-blue beam.
“Boom!”
The mountain wall behind the Fire Lin Beast was smashed, creating a huge hole.
Now, the Fire Lin Beast ferociously dove down towards the Ice-Bound Profound Python, claws aimed straight for its head.
The beast’s claws cut through the air like lightning, leaving trails of fire.
The Ice-Bound Profound Python tilted its head to evade the Fire Lin Beast’s attack, instantly wrapping around it, initiating a deadly squeeze.
The two Ninth Level Spiritual Beasts rolled around, obliterating everything in their path, turning them to dust.
“Boom!”
The two creatures crashed against the rocky hill by the valley.
The entire rock formation shattered in an instant, with countless stones flying and dust filling the air.
Nearby cultivators were stunned by this spectacle.
Only Xiao Yang dared to watch closely from afar.
All the other cultivators had fled to safety.
Remember, prior to this, many cultivators had been ambushed by these two elusive creatures, dragged into caves, and devoured.
These two Ninth Level Spiritual Beasts were no benevolent creatures—they were ferocious beasts, and fiercely so.
The sharp horns of the Fire Lin Beast relentlessly struck the Ice-Bound Profound Python.
The Python’s impenetrable scales were torn by the Fire Lin Beast’s horns, blood splattering everywhere.
The Fire Lin Beast, too, was caught in the Python’s grip, feeling its bones close to breaking, coughing blood continuously.
The battle between these two spiritual beasts was utterly brutal.
A scent of blood began to fill the valley.
Both Ninth Level Spiritual Beasts unleashed their true power, fighting relentlessly.
It was a collision of fire and ice, a contest of strength and skill.
Fantastic!
Xiao Yang stood on the small hill next to the valley, arms crossed, watching with great amusement as the two spiritual beasts clashed.
The Ice-Bound Profound Python unleashed frost breath, freezing everything.
Meanwhile, the Fire Lin Beast spat scorching flames, burning through the air.
The entire valley was left in ruins.
“Go on, fight till the end! Otherwise, how am I going to get my hands on some loot?”
Xiao Yang smirked slightly, a hint of amusement on his face.
These were two Ninth Level Spiritual Beasts! If he could subdue them, it would be a major boon.
In his past life, he had fought solo, with no brothers, no friends, and no spiritual beasts. Even the closest ones betrayed him.
In the end, Qin Fei pierced his heart with a sword, and no one was there to claim his body.
In this life, it would be different.
