Taotie screamed, immense pain tearing at his fragile soul.
It instantly drained all the magical power he was so proud of.
Seeing this, all the orcs surrounding the Beast King's Palace finally believed what Shi Linyuan had just said.
The tribulation of lightning was brought about because of Taotie; Heaven is here to punish Taotie!
"Look, that really is a Taotie! Human face, dog fur, tiger body! It's him, there's no mistake!"
"Yes, yes, yes, ancient legends say that Taotie was sealed away because he offended the Thunder God, and this tribulation is clearly aimed at him!"
"It was the Taotie that ruined us, and we even misunderstood the Beast King!"
"Beast King, you must kill Taotie! Show no mercy!!"
As the orcs' shouts grew louder and louder, the power of the heavenly thunder intensified.
The intense white light illuminated the dark night sky, highlighting Shi Linyuan's handsome and sharp features.
For a moment, everyone forgot that he was a ferocious beast.
Like a deity, bringing blessings to the world.
Amidst agonizing screams, the Taotie's soul was torn apart.
The massive body crashed to the ground, creating a crater five meters deep.
With a loud "BOOM!"
The thunder gradually dissipated, and dust rose all around.
Immediately afterwards, the orcs' excited cheers rang out loudly.
Every word and every sentence praised Shi Linyuan's achievements.
"Qiongqi is so powerful, it should be the Beast King!"
"That's right, Qiongqi is the true king of beasts!"
"Qiongqi should be with the nature gods, protecting this place together. We will forever believe in the gods and forever support the Beast King!!"
Once the dust and smoke from the Taotie's corpse had settled, the beastmen immediately found a thick rope made of tree vines, tied the corpse up, and together bound it to a towering boulder in the stone-paved plaza outside the Beast King's Palace.
They planned to tear the culprit who caused their loved ones to explode and kill them to pieces, and then burn him as a sacrifice to the heavens.
The excited beastmen couldn't wait until dawn. That very night, they took various sharp weapons and began to slice off pieces of flesh from the Taotie's body.
Primitive, bloody, and brutal.
But halfway through the execution, the Taotie's corpse suddenly opened its eyes and moved.
The next moment, she burst into tears and screamed in agony.
The orcs were startled and quickly scattered, trembling as they fled into the distance.
Because Si Jin altered the nature of the heavenly lightning, when the heavenly lightning struck Taotie, it only tore apart his soul.
But they kept Yun Jingying's soul.
After a period of integration, Yun Jingying's soul had completely adapted to Taotie's body.
Back then, Yun Jingying's soul was knocked unconscious by the Heavenly Thunder Formation.
Now, I am awakened by the pain of my flesh being torn apart. I am instantly overwhelmed by the pain and tears are streaming down my face.
At this moment, Si Jincai and Shi Linyuan arrived leisurely.
Seeing the nature god and the beast king approaching, the beastmen felt a little more confident.
He quickly stepped forward and asked, "God, what's going on?"
"Isn't Taotie dead?"
“Yes, Taotie is dead.” Si Jin looked at the “Taotie” howling in pain in the square and explained, “The one who is awake now is Yun Jingying, the one who captured and slaughtered the orcs.”
“I killed her when I rescued the orcs.”
"However, she knew some ancient spells and possessed a sika deer. Later, in order to summon Taotie, her soul went into Taotie's body."
After saying that, Si Jinwei raised her hand.
A divine power emanated, and within the Taotie's body, Yun Jingying's soul appeared and disappeared.
She immediately revealed her true form to the beastmen, beyond her outward appearance.
The crowd's emotions gradually shifted from fear to anger.
