Cultivation Begins From The Desert

After Zhouyang made the decision for the final battle, the first to make a move was not him or Jiang Yuyan, but rather Xu Song, who was entangling the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf.

Upon receiving the order for the decisive battle, Xu Song immediately unleashed a demonic secret technique, stimulating the potential of the Giant Python Demon Corpse.

Then, the once heavily wounded Giant Python Demon Corpse, had corpse qi surging all over, instantly repairing its damaged wounds, roared and pounced near the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf, directly wrapping around it.

Previously, it had used this move to entangle the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf, but it quickly broke free and cut its body into several segments.

If it weren't for transforming into a demon corpse, with its body being able to be refined and repaired at any time, it would have been slaughtered right then.

Therefore, seeing it recklessly wrapping around again, the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf was also ready to repeat the same trick, teaching it another lesson in dismemberment.

However, what the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf didn't expect was that the Giant Python Demon Corpse, after its potential was triggered by the demonic secret technique, became stronger than before.

With its repeated trick, not only did it fail to break free from the Giant Python Demon Corpse's entanglement, but it also wasted the best chance to escape.

When it was struggling to break free from the python's hold, Xu Song's Bone Clone flew above it, opened its mouth, and directly spat out a mass of white demon flame, which fell onto its body.

Boom!

The white demon flame, originally only the size of a human fist, when it fell on the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf, burned into a raging white demon flame, akin to sparks landing in a barrel of gasoline.

The difference was, the fuel for burning the white demon flame wasn't gasoline, but rather the corpse qi from the Giant Python Demon Corpse wrapped around the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf, and the life force of the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf itself.

Xu Song intended to use a mutually destructive tactic, sacrificing the Giant Python Demon Corpse to severely damage the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf.

For years, he couldn't promote the Giant Python Demon Corpse to Tier Five, realizing the potential of this demon corpse was limited, thus sacrificing this demon corpse seemed not regrettable.

Good steel should be used on the blade; sacrificing a Tier Four Giant Python Demon Corpse to kill a Tier Five demon beast, this transaction undoubtedly reaps great profit.

However, the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf was undoubtedly unwilling to sit and wait for death.

The burning white demon flame posed a threat of death, if it couldn't extinguish the white demon flame, its life force would be gradually burned away.

Awoo~

The Cyan-haired Giant Wolf let out an angry roar, and all of its cyan wolf fur suddenly fell off and transformed into wolf hair steel needles shooting out, instantly piercing the Giant Python Demon Corpse entangled around itself into holes.

Although this wasn't enough to make the Giant Python Demon Corpse, which lacked a sense of pain, loosen its grip, the wolf hair bursting out dissipated a lot of the Giant Python Demon Corpse's force, reducing the power of the entanglement significantly.

And the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf seized this opportunity and forcibly struggled, tearing half of its body free.

Then, the freed wolf claw grabbed at the body of the Giant Python Demon Corpse, its sharp claw easily tore the python's body, shredding the Giant Python Demon Corpse apart.

But at that moment, Xu Song's Bone Clone pounced down again, directly perched on its head, extending its bone claw towards one of its wolf eyes.

Swish!

The bone claw, like a hook, pierced into the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf's eye socket, forcibly plucking out a sea-bowl-sized wolf eye.

Awoooo—

Having its wolf eye plucked, the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf let out a painful howl and immediately raised its wolf claw to swipe fiercely at the Bone Clone above its head.

But unfortunately, the Bone Clone was incredibly agile, quickly flew away while clutching its eyeball.

Finally, the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf knew the urgent task was to extinguish the white demon flame burning on itself, did not chase the Bone Clone but instead released a large amount of magical power from its demon pill, forcibly extinguishing the white demon flame.

Then it raised its sole eye to glance at the Bone Clone with resentful venom flashing in its gaze, quickly transforming into a beam of cyan light, dashed outward, intending to escape the battlefield first.

However, although it managed to restrain its internal anger and made the correct choice, it had no idea that the enemies today never intended to let it escape alive.

As it just rushed out of the ghost curtain, a golden giant mace suddenly fell with thousands of mace shadows, smashing down on its back.

In an instant, the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf felt its back as if struck by a Tier Five Bear Demon's palm, half its body lost sensation from the pain.

Before it could recover from this intense pain, a golden sword shadow surged upwards from beneath it, pierced through its desperately intercepting wolf claw and stabbed into its abdomen.

In a split second, sharp sword qi exploded from its body, slicing its intestines, liver, and other internal organs into countless wounds, even its heart was slashed open with numerous scars.

It was only because of its powerful life force as a Tier Five demon beast that it didn't die instantly.

Had it been a human cultivator, even a Golden Core Stage cultivator struck by two well-prepared Tier Five artifacts would be absolutely fatal.

Blood Therapy!

Blood light surged on the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf, activating the extreme healing divine technique, unique to the "Heart-devouring Demon Wolf" clan.

At the same time, the power of the Demon Pill within it surged out, forcibly pushing the Flying Sword and Sword Qi that had pierced its body outward.

Remarkably, even while healing, its body did not stop at all and continued desperately trying to break through and escape.

"Stop right there!"

Zhouyang let out a low shout, and a flame dragon, condensed from golden flames, roared as it blocked the path of the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf.

Rumble!

A blaze shot up to the sky, and the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf, engulfed in flames, burst out of the center of the fire once again.

However, this time, it was covered in blood blisters scorched by the high-temperature flames, resembling a giant mangy dog, ugly and ferocious.

Seeing the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf break through again, Zhouyang's expression remained unchanged.

His attack wasn't limited to this one move.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning appeared, and before the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf, which had just rushed out of the fire, could catch its breath, a thick silver-white lightning bolt struck it, blasting it back into the flames.

Next, a gigantic crimson sword descended from the sky, slashing viciously onto the back of the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf, tearing open a gash several feet long.

Ever since Zhouyang advanced to become a Tier Four Middle-grade Refiner, he had added some materials and reforged the twelve "Great Derivation Divine Light Swords" that were previously damaged, not only repairing the sword bodies but also upgrading them to Tier Four Middle Grade.

Now, after the twelve "Great Derivation Divine Light Swords" combined as one, their power closely rivaled a Tier Five Flying Sword.

The back of the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf had just been heavily struck by Jiang Yuyan's Golden Mace and additionally burned by the "Qianyang True Flame," leaving it covered with many blisters, its defense greatly weakened.

Under these conditions, the injury inflicted by Zhouyang's sword seemed even more severe than Jiang Yuyan's attack with a Tier Five Magical Artifact.

Howl~

With a miserably cry from its mouth, the remaining single eye of the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf was filled with fear and panic.

It had never been so severely wounded as today, even when it had faced a pursuit by multiple Tier Five Demon Beasts, it had managed to retreat calmly.

Today's battle was the most frustrating since it had ascended to a Tier Five Demon Beast; from start to finish, it had not even touched its enemy, always on the receiving end of attacks.

Now, having continuously suffered injuries, it felt the threat of death. It knew if it did not counterattack and break through now, it might really die at the hands of these hateful humans today.

So, for the sake of escape, it spat out its painstakingly cultivated Demon Pill for the second time.

The difference was that this time, the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf did not hurl it like a Magical Artifact but drew upon the vast power contained within to unleash a powerful Wind Magic technique.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Sounds of breaking the air resounded as Wind Blades filled the sky.

Thousands of cyan Wind Blades erupted from the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf, shooting out in all directions, leaving no space for dodging, compelling one to withstand them.

These cyan Wind Blades, individually, had a power equivalent to a Tier Three High-grade Technique, but there were far too many.

Facing the all-encompassing Wind Blade attack, Xu Song and Jiang Yuyan, with their higher cultivation, managed to sustain their defenses using the powerful magical powers of the Golden Core Stage to hold up their Protective Shield Artifacts.

Zhouyang, whose cultivation was significantly weaker, faced a dire situation.

He summoned his Spirit Turtle Shield, refined from part of the "Gen Mountain Turtle" shell, in front of him. However, after blocking forty or fifty Wind Blades, this extremely hard Tier Four Middle Grade artifact was shattered apart.

Caught off guard, he had only enough time to activate "Qianyang Golden Light" and the Tier Four High-grade Spiritual Artifact "Celestial Silkworm Treasure Robe," inherited from a Great Brightness Immortal Palace Cultivator, for protection, before he was subsequently slashed by the following Wind Blades, falling towards the ground, his life status unknown.

A Tier Five Demon Beast is, after all, a Tier Five Demon Beast. Even though Zhouyang's strength left him without peers in the Purple Mansion Stage, facing a Tier Five Demon Beast's attack without any Tier Five Artifacts to defend himself, he could not withstand even a single blow.

His magical combat prowess had far surpassed many Ninth-Layer Purple Mansion Cultivators, but ultimately, his magical power was not as great as that of a Ninth-Layer Purple Mansion Cultivator, hence he was unable to perform arts with Tier Five Artifacts for protection.

Otherwise, with the many Tier Five Artifacts on him, any one used for self-defense wouldn't have resulted in such a miserable state like now.

Luckily, the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf's counterattack at this moment was only to better facilitate its escape, and seeing him fall towards the ground, it did not attempt to finish him off, but directly made a breakthrough in the gap that appeared after his fall.

"Alas! It seems I have to use this thing after all!"

Watching the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf about to break through, Jiang Yuyan sighed lightly, then raised her hand to retrieve the Tier Five Lower-grade Spirit Talisman, "Celestial Fire Meteor Talisman," given by Zhouyang, injecting magical power to activate it.

This was also her first time using such a high-level Spirit Talisman. As a Talisman Maker, she felt delighted, almost achieving a sense of fulfillment, to use a high-grade Spirit Talisman herself before passing.

As soon as the Talisman was activated, it turned into a massive crimson fireball, as large as a house, shooting towards the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf.

The fireball was incredibly fast, like a meteor, offering the Cyan-haired Giant Wolf no time to react before it crashed onto it and exploded with a boom.
