Chapter 1332 Unlucky Encounter with a Void Divine Beast
"Ahhh, I'm going to kill you!"
The Golden Core elder of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect was going crazy. With a loud roar, he stretched out a large claw and grabbed at Chen Yang.
To be precise, they snatched the Void Beast skin from Chen Yang's body.
Whether he can obtain this Void Beast Hide is crucial to his survival.
He frantically activated the power of the Golden Core.
"Go to hell! You dare to covet my Void Beast Hide? Get your dog paws off me!" Chen Yang roared, raising his sword to strike.
Without this Void Beast Hide, he wouldn't be able to survive.
Click!
The divine weapon was incredibly sharp, cutting through rotten wood with ease, instantly severing the Golden Core elder's hand at the wrist, causing blood to spurt out.
"Ah ah ah..."
The Golden Core elder of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect let out a shrill scream, filled with unbearable pain and a profound sense of helplessness.
At this moment, Chen Yang did not let him go, and once again drew his sword to strike, preparing to resolve this trouble once and for all.
The old man with the Golden Core cultivation was not about to sit and wait for death. Even if his body was rotten and incomplete, it was still a life.
If he manages to escape, it won't be difficult for him to regain his physical body.
After all, cultivators at the late Golden Core stage like him are all considered divine healers, capable of bringing the dead back to life and healing even the most grievous wounds. Moreover, their Nascent Soul ancestor from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect possesses even more heaven-defying abilities.
Whoosh!
Spotting a spatial rift in the boundary wall, the Golden Core elder plunged inside and shouted back at Chen Yang, "You little brat, come on over if you dare! The space inside this passage is too small, you can't move around freely. Come outside, and this Golden Core cultivator will fight you three hundred rounds."
His voice was icy, and his expression was fierce, clearly a provocation.
It is said that the old man who had reached the Golden Core stage had given up all hope. Since his chances of escaping were slim, he might as well take Chen Yang down with him.
Beyond the spatial rift lies utter darkness. No one knows where it leads or what kind of world it connects to. Being here is no different from being banished to the void.
It's easy to leave, but difficult to come back.
"Do you think I'm stupid enough to follow you out? Since it's so nice outside, you might as well stay out there and not come back," Chen Yang sneered.
In an instant, he arrived at the spatial rift, but instead of rushing out, he stood guard like a gatekeeper, preventing the Golden Core elder from returning.
Inside the spatial passage, everything was dazzling and radiant, but outside the passage, there was only eternal silence, almost entirely darkness, where even a glimmer of starlight was a luxury.
Moreover, temperatures below -200 degrees Celsius can freeze a person instantly.
"Fuck you, you spineless coward! You don't even have the guts to fight. I'm in this state and you still don't dare to fight me. You must be a coward."
Upon seeing that Chen Yang was unwilling to come out, the Golden Core elder from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect cursed on the spot.
But Chen Yang remained unmoved.
Therefore, the Golden Core elder had no choice but to return to the spatial passage.
Because if he were really banished to outer space, he would truly be doomed.
Bang bang bang!
But just as he was about to return to the spatial passage through the spatial rift, Chen Yang, who was lying in wait, unleashed several punches at him.
Seeing the spatial rift shrinking and his impending exile, the Golden Core elder of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect finally panicked.
"You little brat, let me in right now! There's something strange outside, like something's rushing towards us. If you let me in and save me, my Shushan Sword Sect will forgive and forget everything and give you endless benefits. Let me tell you the truth, the other end of this spatial passage is right there in my Shushan Sword Sect, guarded by countless powerful figures. Once you're teleported there, you'll be trapped like a turtle in a jar. Only I can save you," the Golden Core elder of the Shushan Sword Sect shouted.
His words were like a wake-up call.
At the other end of the spatial passage, on the teleportation platform behind the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, there are currently four Nascent Soul experts and dozens of Golden Core experts guarding the area.
Even if Chen Yang were at his peak, it would be difficult for him to escape alive once he entered the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.
Moreover, after being teleported there, his body will definitely be extremely weak, making him a sitting duck.
Seeing that Chen Yang didn't reply, the elders of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect assumed he believed them and, eyeing the disappearing spatial rift, prepared to rush in.
His eyes were filled with fear, as if he had seen something terrifying.
boom!
However, just as the Golden Core elder of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect poked his head in, Chen Yang swung his fist and smashed it.
Click!
The power of this punch was immense. Even without any magical output, the sheer physical force was equivalent to millions of tons, and the Golden Core elder's skull was directly smashed open.
"what……"
The Golden Core elder of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect let out a miserable scream.
Luckily, he was a powerful figure in the late Golden Core stage, with strong bones; otherwise, he would most likely have had his head blown off.
Even so, the severe skull injury is enough to cause him serious trouble, and he's likely doomed.
"Ah ah ah..."
The piercing screams continued, but the spatial rift was getting smaller and smaller; the old man was truly about to be banished.
Ouch!
Suddenly, Chen Yang heard a wild beast roar, and even a deafening sound, like thousands of horses galloping.
But clearly, outside the spatial passage is a void, a cosmic vacuum, where there is no sound, much less life.
"No! You bastard, let me in..."
Pfft!
Along with the heart-wrenching screams of the old Golden Core cultivator from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, there was also the sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh, much like the sharp teeth of a wild beast biting a bloody hole in its prey.
puff puff!
A spray of blood spurted in from the disappearing spatial rift, covering Chen Yang completely; it was extremely gruesome.
In a fleeting glance, Chen Yang saw a pair of bright green eyes, like those of a wolf, but much larger, about the size of a copper bell, radiating a ghostly light like luminous pearls.
Beneath those green eyes was a massive body, entirely black, almost blending into the darkness. Its exact appearance was unclear, but a pair of sharp, white teeth were tearing at the Golden Core elder of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.
Whether it was his imagination or not, Chen Yang felt that the green eyes were looking at him, filled with hatred and bloodlust, as if they wanted to swallow him whole.
"What the hell is this?"
Chen Yang was so frightened that he gasped.
The outside world is a vacuum, with no air and no light, so how could any wild animals possibly survive?
"Aaaaaah, damn it, I'll fight you to the death! My Golden Core self-destructs!"
As the last words of the Golden Core elder from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect were uttered, the spatial rift disappeared.
However, the boundary of the spatial passage suddenly shook violently, indicating that the Golden Core elder had indeed self-destructed.
The power of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator's self-destruction is absolutely extraordinary, comparable to a nuclear weapon with a yield of tens of millions of tons. It is unstoppable, killing gods and Buddhas alike.
In other words, if golden elixir were to be found everywhere in a world, it would be as dangerous as nuclear bombs.
Of course, a golden core will not self-destruct unless absolutely necessary.
Whoohoo!
Seeing the cracks in the spatial passage disappear, and knowing that the Golden Core elder of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect had self-destructed his Golden Core, likely perishing along with the unknown creature, Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had survived a calamity.
Of course, this was an illusion. His situation was far from safe. The broken spatial passage was as dangerous as ever, and the exit was at the Shushan Sword Sect of the Immortal Gate, where a group of powerful figures were eyeing him covetously.
But he was reluctant to turn back, since he had already come all this way.
Moreover, Qiao Qiumeng is still at the Kunlun Immortal Sect, waiting for him to rescue her.
His only chance to survive is to break through the barrier of the spatial passage when he is about to reach the exit, or to find a spatial rift in the spatial passage, and this spatial rift happens to be in the Kunlun Immortal Gate.
In this way, he can reach the Kunlun Immortal Sect through the crack in the spatial passage without being trapped by the Shushan Sword Sect.
Whoosh whoosh!
Time waits for no one. The spatial rift was becoming increasingly distorted and deformed, and it could shatter completely at any moment, or even be annihilated and disappear. Chen Yang didn't have much time left, so he quickly mustered all his strength and rushed forward.
Click!
But just then, another crack appeared on the space passage that had just closed.
Chen Yang didn't pay much attention at first, because spatial rifts were constantly appearing and disappearing in the spatial passage. But in a fleeting glance, through this spatial rift, Chen Yang saw a pair of eerie green eyes.
This made Chen Yang's heart jump out of his throat.
It was none other than the same wild beast from before.
"Could it be that the Golden Core elder of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect didn't kill it when he self-destructed?"
Chen Yang was horrified.
That's the destructive power of a nuclear weapon with a yield of tens of millions of tons, yet it didn't kill this ferocious beast. Its tenacious vitality is evident.
Just as Chen Yang was surprised, the spatial rift grew larger and larger.
Click!Click!
quack!quack!
You can even hear the chewing sound.
Moreover, the spatial cracks are not linear, but circular.
This beast is so bizarre; it actually used its sharp teeth to bite through the boundary of the spatial passage, creating a circular hole.
At that moment, Chen Yang's mind went blank, as if he had thought of something.
Then, when the beast's head poked its head in, Chen Yang was even more certain of his guess: it was a Void Beast, of the same kind as the Void Beast skin he was wearing.
"Holy crap!" Chen Yang was startled.
As expected, misfortune never comes singly, and a leaky boat is hit by a headwind. My current situation is already extremely dangerous, no different from being in a mountain of knives and a sea of fire. But I never expected to encounter a species that I least wanted to encounter when teleporting through space: a Void Beast.
Void Beasts are most fond of spatial turbulence, and can even sense its existence through the laws of the void, across endless distances.
If you encounter a Void Beast during spatial teleportation, especially interstellar teleportation, the consequences could be dire, as the Void Beast could potentially disrupt the spatial channel, causing the teleportation to fail.
Chen Yang finally understood why the Void Beast looked at him with such bloodlust and hatred, as if they had some deep-seated grudge.
Because he was wearing a Void Beast skin!
This void beast clearly sees him as the executioner who killed its own kind, and wants him to pay for his crimes in blood.
Void Beasts are a species that holds grudges and possesses extremely high intelligence.
Chen Yang knew that this battle was inevitable. Either he would kill or defeat the Void Beast, or the Void Beast would devour him until not even bones remained.
Clang!
Having figured out the key point, Chen Yang didn't hesitate. He picked up the Purple Ying Sword and slashed it at the head of the Void Divine Beast.
At this moment, the Void Beast's head had just entered the spatial rift, while its body below the neck was still outside the spatial passage. This presented Chen Yang with a golden opportunity to kill it.
Moreover, the self-destruction of the Golden Core elder from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect must have caused some damage to this Void Divine Beast, as its head was covered in soot, as if it had been scorched by smoke and fire. There were even visible bloodstains.
However, this thing is also incredibly resilient. A Golden Core expert who has reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm can self-destruct with a power comparable to a nuclear weapon with a yield of tens of millions of tons. Other spirit beasts would have died long ago, but this one is still alive and kicking.
Therefore, Chen Yang dared not underestimate this sword strike. He gripped the hilt tightly with both hands and slashed down with all his might, using almost every ounce of strength he had. He was confident that even if the Void Beast's head was made of divine metal, he could still split it in two.
Unexpectedly, even with only its head sticking in, the Void Beast was able to retaliate effectively. It opened its huge mouth and forcefully spat out a spatial turbulence like a void storm at Chen Yang.
If Chen Yang hadn't been wearing the Void Beast skin, this sudden spatial turbulence, even if it couldn't tear his body apart, would have given him a lot of trouble.
Caught off guard by this turbulent current, Chen Yang's body swayed violently, like a small boat on a stormy sea, on the verge of capsizing. As a result, his sword strike went astray.
Click!
Even though the sword strike missed and landed on the spatial passage, it still managed to cleave a long, thin crack in it, demonstrating just how powerful the strike was.
Seemingly aware of the sharpness of the greatsword in Chen Yang's hand, after Chen Yang's sword strike, the Void Beast's neck suddenly shrank, and its entire body shrank outside the spatial passage.
Chen Yang felt relieved and hurried on his way.
Unexpectedly, they encountered the Void Beast again not far ahead.
The Void Beast entered through a large spatial rift in the spatial passage, standing firmly and imposingly in front, like a lone warrior holding off ten thousand.
Only then did Chen Yang see the true appearance of the Void Beast. It was about three zhang long, with a lithe and streamlined body. Its whole body was covered with a layer of black scales. Its head was an inverted triangle, and its eyes flashed with a cold and evil light. Its four iron legs were extremely thick, and its claws were as sharp as daggers.
His gaping maw was filled with two rows of sharp teeth, and there were even two fangs sticking out crookedly.
