Myriad Realms Heaven.
Leaving home.
Everyone present watched as the supposedly dead elder "came back to life," his body suddenly exploding and blasting him to pieces, leaving not a trace. Then, a monster beyond their comprehension appeared.
roar--!
The terrifying roar echoed for miles around, snapping everyone out of their shock.
"What...what kind of monster is this?!"
"Run!"
"No! Don't eat me!"
After realizing what was happening, everyone turned and ran without looking back, but this seemed to provoke the newly awakened monster, which swung its huge head and devoured people one by one, the sound of chewing bones making everyone feel a sense of despair.
"Its appearance is like a sheep's body with a human face, its eyes are under its armpits, it has tiger teeth and human claws, and its voice is like an infant's. Could it be that..."
Lu Yuan frowned, a bad premonition rising in his heart.
Li Liuxin, who was standing next to Lu Yuan, was silent for a moment, and then spoke up as if to confirm Lu Yuan's guess: "This monster is very likely to be Taotie."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan frowned even more deeply.
"Things have become complicated..."
After learning about the deal between the Li family and Taotie from Li Liuxin, he guessed that the world-ending disaster mentioned by Bai Ze was likely related to Taotie. However, he did not expect that Taotie was actually hidden inside the Great Elder's body.
I should have spared that old guy's life; I should have kept the surveillance footage under my control.
However, it's too late to regret what has already happened, and besides, Lu Yuan isn't that kind of person. The most urgent thing is to figure out how to stop Taotie.
It is still hunting the Jiang family and those who have left home, but once everyone here is eaten, it will be their turn.
Most importantly, we cannot let them run rampant.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan turned to Li Liuxin and said, "Mom, you should go hide somewhere far away first."
Li Liuxin raised her hand and gently tugged at Lu Yuan's sleeve, looking at him with eyes full of worry.
"Do you intend to stop the Taotie? No way! It's an ancient ferocious beast with unfathomable strength, far beyond our ability to stop. Didn't you see that the Li and Jiang families are almost wiped out?"
In just half a minute, most of the Li family and the Jiang family had been swallowed by the Taotie.
It should be noted that most of these people are beast tamers at the Illusion God level or above, and there are even a few True God level beast tamers among them. Even if their strength is not as good as that of the Grand Elder and Jiang Chengping, who have already stepped into the True God level, they are still outstanding individuals with extraordinary strength in the entire Myriad Realms Heaven.
However, when faced with the legendary ferocious beasts, they were completely powerless to fight back, and even their escape was quite pathetic.
Lu Yuan had only recently entered the True God level. If he were to face Taotie with his current strength, he would have absolutely no chance of winning and would simply become another of Taotie's desserts.
Faced with such a clear disparity in strength, Lu Yuan simply smiled lightly at Li Liuxin.
"Don't worry, I've worked so hard to get to where I am today, how could I possibly be willing to go up and die so easily?"
Seeing Lu Yuan's reaction, Li Liuxin knew that he had made up his mind. Even though she was very worried, she could only nod in the end.
"No matter what, you must try your best to survive."
Don't worry!
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, then gave Ling Ye a look. The latter immediately understood and reluctantly left for a relatively safe location.
Lu Yuan carefully straightened his clothes, and after retreating to a relatively safe distance from Sulfur Heart, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he spoke to the already poised Chi Lin.
"Battle begins!"
...
The scalding hot blood was spilled all over the ground, gradually turning cold and sticky. The smell of blood permeated the air, and there were severed limbs everywhere.
At this moment, the once prosperous Lijia Village seems not to be in the human world, but in a terrifying hell.
All of this stems from the ancient ferocious beast, Taotie, which is still hunting humans not far away.
roar--!
The Taotie, which had just woken up, was excitedly enjoying the buffet when a powerful roar suddenly came from behind it, causing it to turn around.
A massive black and gold dragon, tens of meters long, stood opposite it, and behind the dragon stood a human.
Compared to its enormous size, the human appeared incredibly small, yet its aura was like a raging torrent, making it impossible for the human to ignore.
"Humans, excellent vessels."
Suddenly, the Taotie slowly opened its mouth and uttered human language, shocking the people around who had luckily survived.
Beasts can only awaken their intelligence after they reach a certain level of strength. Only beasts with exceptional talent can learn to speak by following their masters and being influenced by their surroundings. The conditions are extremely demanding, let alone for wild beasts that have never signed a contract with humans.
This clearly demonstrates just how terrifying the Taotie's power has become.
However, Lu Yuan was not surprised at all. After all, it was a legendary ancient ferocious beast, and the fact that Taotie could speak human language was not surprising to him. What he cared more about was what Taotie said.
container.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan looked up and stared directly at Taotie.
"So it was you who made that deal with those who left home back then, searching for a container... to destroy the world?"
After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Taotie's narrowed eyes revealed a ferocious and excited light, and its mouth smirked, its expression like that of a brutal madman.
"Destroy the world?"
"I simply enjoy killing!"
"I find pleasure in the desperate cries of humanity!"
"It gives me satisfaction to trample the gods who think they can protect humanity underfoot!"
The Taotie's cruel laughter, mixed with spiritual pressure, spread all around. Many beast tamers were forced to kneel on the ground under the power of the spiritual pressure, spitting out blood. Lu Yuan, however, stood upright in place, staring straight at it.
Indeed, the nature of ferocious beasts is to kill.
It was just pure killing.
Looking at the devastation scattered everywhere, a scene resembling hell on earth, Lu Yuan's eyes turned deep and unfathomable.
At this moment, compared to the corpses scattered on the ground and the others kneeling on the ground, Lu Yuan, who was standing still, stood out from the crowd, and Taotie's gaze towards him gradually became satisfied.
"You are the relatively strong being among all the weakest ants I have ever seen. Respectfully offer your body to become my vessel; this is your honor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Taotie gathered spiritual power in its mouth and then unleashed a powerful beam of light that seemed capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, striking Lu Yuan fiercely!
The intensely compressed spiritual energy surged with such force that it even ignited the air, forming a tongue of fire that seemed capable of piercing through the world!
Before Lu Yuan could even move, Chi Lin was already blocking his way.
With the power of a true god, Crimson Phosphorus unleashed its full potential, unleashing its most powerful flame breath to meet the tongue of fire. However, the once-powerful skill proved fragile in the face of the ancient beast's attack.
The two attacks had barely collided when Crimson Phosphorus's fiery breath was immediately shattered, leaving it helpless to watch the attack fall.
In an instant.
The whole world seemed to be forced to shake.
The mountains and rivers trembled and surged.
It was merely due to a single blow from the ancient ferocious beast Taotie.
"Hmm!"
Upon seeing this, Taotie let out a sigh.
"I haven't been out for too long, and I haven't been able to control my strength properly. I wonder if the superior vessel I finally found has turned to dust? Oh well! I'll just find another vessel when the time comes. The gods who protected humanity have fallen, and the whole world is mine!"
Just as the Taotie was immersed in excitement and joy, a sound slowly came from the dust raised by the attack.
"Let's save our daydreams for when it's light!"
Lu Yuan, who should have been dead, was standing perfectly fine in the same spot, with Red Phosphorus coiled around him, and a pale blue halo slowly swirling around them.
"A divine formation?!"
Taotie immediately recognized that this was the highest-level formation created by the gods, and was immediately shocked. Just then, a sharp cry rang out from behind it.
Before it could even react, a flame shot straight through its heart from behind!
"Flowing Flame!"
