The Beast Taming Ring is a spiritual artifact used by beast tamers to capture demon beasts, preventing tamed beasts from rebelling against their masters.

Once activated with mana, it can quickly shrink, eventually embedding into the flesh.

Demon beasts have powerful physiques and abundant life force, thus they can endure the torment of the Beast Taming Ring, yet it makes them even more pained.

"No, I can't just rely on Song Ya's mother, I must interrupt Wu Yuan, otherwise on my own, I will only face death!"

Chen Nan thought secretly, as his mind moved, the Void Breaking Sword suddenly shot out, merging into the darkness, silently targeting Wu Yuan's heart.

The small sword emitted no aura or light, only the purest Sword Qi.

Even Wu Yuan didn't notice it at first; only when the Void Breaking Sword reached in front of him did he suddenly feel alarmed, hurriedly dodging while simultaneously striking a palm forward.

The enormous mana concentrated, making his palm jade-like, heavily impacting the Void Breaking Sword, causing its trajectory to shift considerably.

Even so, the Void Breaking Sword grazed Wu Yuan's arm, leaving a deep wound that instantly gushed blood.

"Little bastard, you're courting death!"

Wu Yuan was furious beyond measure; a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator had wounded him, something he couldn't tolerate. He spread his five fingers and suddenly clenched, as dense mana gathered above him, forming dozens of blood-colored meteors.

Meanwhile, Li Nushuang got a brief respite, agonizingly collapsing onto the ground.

One must know that the Beast Taming Ring not only inflicts physical pain but also causes the soul unbearable agony.

Once fitted with a Beast Taming Ring, a demon beast can only become a cultivator's slave!

"Starlight Fall!"

After a furious roar, all the blood-colored meteors came crashing down, instantly enveloping Chen Nan.

When the Blood Meteors hit the ground, they triggered violent explosions, firelight soaring and smoke and dust rising!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Chen Nan was completely submerged in the explosions.

At this moment, Song Ya had run to Li Nushuang's side, tears streaming down: "Mother!"

Seeing Chen Nan engulfed by the explosion, she helplessly reached out.

"Jue Mingzi!"

Wu Yuan didn't even glance at where Chen Nan was; such a powerful attack was something Chen Nan couldn't withstand.

He now grinned maliciously at Li Nushuang, then looked at Song Ya, his eyes playful.

"Li Nushuang, if you cooperate nicely, we might give you a decent way to die, but you dared resist, I must punish you properly!"

"Since you love your daughter so much, then kill her with your own hands!"

He performed a sealing technique with one hand, with bizarre red light pouring from the Beast Taming Ring, like crimson blood, quickly drilling into Li Nushuang's body.

Li Nushuang's previously clear eyes quickly turned scarlet, her body began to tremble violently.

The Beast Taming Ring had been set with an array that could drive one insane, rendering Li Nushuang powerless to resist.

Sure enough, in just a moment, Li Nushuang slowly stood up, her gaze towards Song Ya devoid of emotion, only madness remained.

Raising her claws, even the moon was obscured, her claw tips like sharp sabers, striking fiercely towards Song Ya.

Song Ya's heart was filled with despair; her mother was controlled, Chen Nan's fate was uncertain, she had lost all hope.

The anticipated pain was delayed as the gust hit her face, making Song Ya look up in confusion, only to see her mother's sharp claw tips were just an inch from her head, eerily halted.

Continuing to observe, she saw atop Li Nushuang's head a relic emitting golden light, with bursts of Buddhist chants resonating in the air.

Affected by the relic and the Beast Taming Ring, a struggle appeared on Li Nushuang's face, half sober, half mad.

Song Ya joyfully turned to look, the relic was activated, indicating Chen Nan wasn't dead!

Indeed, as the dust cleared, on the battered ground, Chen Nan reappeared before everyone, though he looked quite battered, with several wounds from Blood Meteors piercing his body, bleeding profusely.

At his feet lay a shattered Turtle Shield, devoid of any spiritual essence.

At the moment the Blood Meteors fell, Chen Nan had cast the Turtle Shield, barely surviving under its protection, but the Turtle Shield was completely ruined.

Chen Nan chuckled bitterly, the movement caused him to cough violently, drawing elixir pills from his storage bag and swallowing them like they cost nothing.

A typical cultivator consuming elixir pills this way would accumulate pill toxins that render them helpless, but Chen Nan possessed the King of Ten Thousand Gu and had cultivated the Mountain and Sea Spirit Casting Record; his physique was robust.

Thus, no matter how many elixir pills, he could perfectly absorb them without any adverse effects.

"Huh? Actually still alive?"

The most surprised to see Chen Nan alive was Wu Yuan; the power of his previous attack he knew best, even a Golden Core stage cultivator couldn't withstand it.

This sent a trace of greed into his eyes; surviving his attack meant Chen Nan surely held great fortune.

"To think a lowly ant like you could survive my attack, but I won't give you any more chances, today all of you will die!"

Wu Yuan lightly tapped his storage bag, a blood-colored saber roared out, emitting a chilling wail.

The Blood Saber soared into the air, radiating an eerie red light, blood light surging, condensing into blood-colored meteors, instantly filling the sky, immediately the Blood Saber plummeted down, followed by a dense shower of blood-colored meteors!

It was as if the sky was collapsing, stars falling, anyone within the range of the Blood Meteors felt despair and insignificance.

The Blood Saber had transformed into a blood-red rainbow, tearing through the void and crashing down.

Even Li Nushuang was completely controlled, her eyes returned to their scarlet hue, directly lunging towards Chen Nan.

Just as Chen Nan performed the Heaven-Burning Transformation, Li Nushuang brushed past him, the sharp claws slicing him into three pieces.

Luckily, he was in his flame body form at the time, barely surviving.

"Wake up!"

Chen Nan shouted anxiously, yet even the intensified golden light from the relic couldn't awaken Li Nushuang.

In desperation, he wielded the relic, pounding it on Li Nushuang's head repeatedly, each strike resounding like the large bells in a temple.

Golden light rippled, a golden "卍" symbol condensed again, crashing down like a mountain.

Li Nushuang was subdued on the ground, yet she continued struggling, during which the Beast Taming Ring on her neck was exposed, washed by Buddhist Golden Light.

Crack, crack...

The Beast Taming Ring emitted clear sounds of shattering.

Li Nushuang ceased her struggle, the madness in her eyes gradually replaced by clarity.
