Chaos Beast
Inside the main hall of Liyuan, the atmosphere suddenly froze because of the burning communication talisman.
Fang Li channeled her immortal essence into the jade talisman from her fingertips, and the anxious yet exhausted phantom of True Person Qingxuan was instantly projected into mid-air.
His Taoist robe was stained with scorch marks and dust, his hair was slightly disheveled, his breathing was rapid, and his face was filled with urgency and worry: "Disciple! Something terrible has happened! Those bastards from the Soul Devouring Sect have gone mad and have joined forces with several major demonic sects such as the Yin Bone Sect and the Blood Fiend Sect to launch a fierce attack on the Holy Mountain without regard for the cost! Their offensive is extremely fierce! That old codger Ji Kuangshi is leading his men to fight desperately, but they are almost unable to hold on! If this continues, the Holy Mountain's barrier will surely break!"
The distant sounds of spells and shouts of battle could be faintly heard in the video, confirming the intensity of the battle.
Master Qingxuan gasped for breath, his face growing even paler, bordering on collapse: "There's worse! The ancient seal deep within the Holy Mountain... somehow, it suddenly broke on its own!"
The scene abruptly shifted, focusing on a spot not far to the side of Master Qingxuan.
He saw a small, strangely shaped, jet-black beast flying anxiously around him.
It's not very big, and its appearance is... hard to describe. You could call it ferocious, but it also seems a bit clumsy; you could call it mighty, but its slightly disproportionate limbs and droopy ears give it a kind of ugly-cute charm.
It was surrounded by a chaotic aura, and its large, wet eyes were filled with confusion and helplessness.
"Awoo... Awoo..." It let out a pitiful and miserable howl, as if a lost child was crying helplessly.
It kept trying to get closer to Master Qingxuan, rubbing its little head against his Taoist robe, its eyes looking pitiful, as if searching for something, or perhaps seeking protection.
Master Qingxuan complained to the communication talisman in a frantic voice, "It just keeps following me like this! I can't shake it off! It's so noisy! The worst part is that it eats like crazy! It will gnaw on anything that contains energy! It has almost eaten up the already meager reserves of the Holy Mountain!"
He paused, his tone softening slightly: "But...it doesn't seem to mean any harm? It's just...it howls so loudly! It's driving me crazy!"
Inside the main hall of Liyuan, everyone looked at the images reflected in the water mirror, their expressions varied.
Fang Qingyu's gaze sharpened as he stared intently at the small beast darting about, a look of surprise on his face: "This is... a juvenile 'Chaos Devouring Beast'?! Although it is a juvenile, its intelligence is not yet developed, and its form is not yet stable, its bloodline... is so pure and ancient! How could such an ancient species, which has long since disappeared from the Upper Realm, appear in the seal of the Holy Mountain in the Lower Realm?"
Fang Li suddenly stood up, her eyes wide, pointing at the small beast in the water mirror, her voice filled with disbelief: "This! Isn't this the... that big guy that crawled out of the coffin in the sealed land of the Holy Mountain?! How... how did it become like this? Is it... Little Tun?? No? How come it's getting worse and worse!" She looked at Shen Yunzhou, Ji Qianqiu and the others beside her, looking bewildered, seeking confirmation.
The system erupted in her mind with earth-shattering laughter: ["Hahahaha! Host! Case solved! Hahahaha! That ugly coffin monster you beat up back then was actually the juvenile form of your gluttonous mount, the Chaos Devouring Beast! Hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter! (pounds the ground) But it seems... it's gotten thinner? It looks a bit more pleasing to the eye than before."]
Fang Li: "..." She felt a little confused.
"Father! Mother!" Fang Li snapped back to reality, her face filled with urgency. "We must save them! Master Qingxuan, Uncle Ji, and the Holy Mountain Clan are all fighting a fierce battle! And Little Tun Tun... it can't fall into the hands of the Soul Devouring Cult!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Yun Zhiruo looked at Fang Qingyu and decisively said, "Husband! There's no time to lose! Activate the 'Universal Star Shifting Array'! Lock onto the aura of the core area of the Holy Mountain and guide Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, the Holy Mountain remnants, and that cub to the ancient battlefield ruins next to our Fang Clan's secret realm for temporary refuge!"
Fang Qingyu nodded emphatically: "That's exactly right!" He immediately turned around, his voice deep and resonant, echoing throughout the clan: "Elders, listen to my command! Follow me to activate the 'Universal Star Shifting Array'! Target: the core of the Sacred Mountain in the Lower Realm!"
At the command, several vast auras suddenly awakened deep within the Li Yuan clan's territory! Several Fang clan elders who had been in seclusion appeared simultaneously, each occupying a mysterious position, and poured their boundless chaotic immortal energy into a huge ancient array platform at the core of the clan's territory without reservation!
"Buzz—!!!"
The array platform erupted with dazzling light, and countless intricate runes soared into the sky, communicating with the mysterious laws of space! A gigantic light array phantom spanning the endless void suddenly condensed and appeared in the sky above the sacred mountain in the lower realm!
The light array descended, instantly covering Qingxuan Zhenren, the old priest, Ji Kuangshi, Ji Bailie, Chu Yunfan, Mo Yun, Ling Shuang, Tie Pan, and the Chaos Devouring Beast cub that was howling around Qingxuan Zhenren!
"What's going on?!"
"This is…?"
Everyone on the Holy Mountain was stunned by this sudden turn of events.
The light suddenly receded!
"Buzz—!"
Space violently distorted and fluctuated, and the light flashed and disappeared!
Along with the small patch of land in the core area of the Holy Mountain that was shrouded in mist, all the remnants of the Holy Mountain clan, as well as that bewildered, ugly-cute little beast, vanished without a trace in an instant!
The Soul Devouring Cult and the Demonic Path's fierce attacks all missed their mark, striking the empty rocks and leaving behind a scene of devastation. All the enemies stared dumbfounded at the deserted area ahead, completely bewildered as to what had happened.
Almost simultaneously, the space near the Li Yuan Secret Realm rippled like water. Qingxuan Zhenren, the old priest, Ji Kuangshi, and the little beast staggered back to their original positions, their faces filled with shock and bewilderment.
"Where...where is this?" Ji Kuangshi leaned on his battle axe, looking around at the unfamiliar environment, feeling the pure spiritual energy and ancient Daoist charm in the air that far surpassed the lower realms, his face full of shock.
Master Qingxuan immediately looked at the Chaos Devouring Beast cub in his arms. It seemed to have been frightened by the spatial teleportation just now, and was now trembling and curled up in his Taoist robe, with only a small head showing. It was still making soft "howling" sounds, but its eyes were curiously looking around.
"It's alright, little guy..." Master Qingxuan patted it subconsciously, his tone softening without him even realizing it.
However, the enormous spatial fluctuations and energy traces generated by the Li Yuan Fang Clan's earth-shattering cross-dimensional rescue operation could not be completely concealed.
In the upper realm, at the main hall of the Celestial Court's Heavenly Patrol Division.
A massive star instrument that monitors abnormal fluctuations across the myriad realms suddenly emitted a piercing alarm, its pointer spinning wildly!
A divine general clad in golden armor looked at the star chart, his expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly turned around, his voice filled with shock and anger, echoing throughout the hall:
"Reporting to the Immortal Emperor! It's the remnants of Chaos again! The Fang Clan of Liyuan! They dared to use the forbidden technique 'Universal Star Shift' to openly snatch their target from the hands of our Immortal Court's forces! They abducted the remnants of the Holy Mountain and that Chaos Beast that had just broken its seal!"
From the depths of the main hall, a powerful aura suddenly descended, and a cold, murderous voice echoed:
"Stubborn to the end! You're courting your own destruction! Activate the 'Heavenly Punishment Plan'! Mobilize the main force of the Sky Patrol Guards, join forces with the Garrison Immortal Army, and annihilate the Fang Clan of Liyuan! I will ensure that the Chaos Bloodline is completely eradicated from all the heavens and myriad realms!"
