The strange creature's clone relaxed for a moment, then retrieved its magical artifact and slowly approached Xie Zhou, who lay on the ground pretending to be dead.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, just as the strange creature from the Upper Realm was approaching Xie Zhou.
She remained unmoved, and Xie Zhou planned to use this moment to awaken Lei Ye.
Just as the palm was about to strike, Xie Zhou quickly began to connect with the source he had encountered earlier. Soon, a sound came, and the image of a small child entered Xie Zhou's spiritual sea of consciousness.
Xie Zhou looked at her and said, "Your name is Lei Ye, right? I was upset that my sister mistook you for someone else. I thought the divine liquid was called Lei Ye. I'm sure I won't forget your name next time."
The child just smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Sister, these things are nothing special, just a title."
"Then let's join forces to defeat this ancient monster's clone!"
"Yes! I can fight alongside my sister again!"
Soon Xie Zhou and Lei Ye joined forces. Just as the palm was about to fall, Xie Zhou stood up. Although Lei Ye did not appear, her spiritual power seemed to have merged with Lei Ye's.
Lightning crackled between Xie Zhou's hands, its power intensifying with each surge. Xie Zhou felt her entire body brimming with power, knowing that Lei Ye was behind her, silently supporting her.
Soon, a ball of lightning condensed in front of Xie Zhou. This ball of lightning was many times larger than her body, and the hand that the strange creature clone was about to attach itself to was also frightened away by this aura.
It quickly withdrew its palm, but Xie Zhou had no mercy. After all, even if the strange monster wasn't destroyed, he would suffer the consequences. Without hesitation, Xie Zhou raised the Chaos Divine Lightning high above his head and threw it at the chest of the strange monster's clone.
A series of crackling sounds were heard, accompanied by the smell of roasting meat, perhaps even a hint of burning. It seemed that the ancient monster's clone was now being struck by the chaotic divine lightning released by the lightning orb, leaving it smoking all over.
Soon, a puff of smoke dissipated, and the clone created by that strange creature was quickly destroyed.
Xie Zhou withdrew his Chaos Divine Lightning, waved his hand to dispel the unknown smell in the air, and then the strange creature above suffered even more severe injuries. Its spiritual power was completely lost, and its strength was greatly reduced.
It is now completely powerless to resist Xie Zhou, because the power of the ancient monster is constantly weakening. It doesn't know what the seal is, but the true form of the ancient monster has awakened.
Perhaps the seal sensed an existence even more powerful than the ancient monster, or perhaps it was afraid, or perhaps it was shocked by the aftershocks of Xie Zhou's attacks, and thus it automatically released the seal.
The ancient monster that had been unsealed was initially very happy, after all, it could regain its freedom. However, when it saw that incredibly powerful monster standing in front of it, that was Xie Zhou.
It has absolutely no strength to match her now, and she looked terrified.
All the chains were loosened, and the light from the runes on the sealing pillars had faded. However, the ancient monster never expected to encounter such a frustrating situation. Its opponent was simply too powerful, so it remained seated there, pretending that its seal had not been broken.
But its trembling arms gave it away.
Xie Zhou turned around and saw the situation, and he was both amused and exasperated. He was terrified of himself.
Xie Zhou approached the strange creature step by step. The strange creature was extremely nervous and hurriedly begged Xie Zhou for mercy.
It didn't kneel down immediately, but its posture was very humble, pleading with Xie Zhou, "My lord... please spare me, it's all my fault, please spare me, please spare me. If you can spare me, I will sign a pet contract with you, so I won't hurt you again. Please, my lord, spare me..."
Faced with absolute power, no one will refrain from bowing their head and begging for mercy.
Xie Zhou decided to tease this strange creature from another world and said, "Are you sure you want to sign a pet contract with me? But you don't seem very sincere. You can sit down, I'm standing..."
At this moment, the strange creature immediately stood up and revealed its true form.
As soon as a bright light flashed, it turned out to be a descendant of Taotie, one of the four ancient ferocious beasts.
At first glance, Taotie's offspring looked remarkably like Chaos, but they were much cuter and more docile than when they grew up. Once they shrank and revealed their original appearance, Xie Zhou lost interest in playing with them.
Faced with the adorable Taotie, Xie Zhou lost all the fierce fighting spirit he had shown against the strange creature. The Taotie, on the other hand, was no longer as imposing as before and was desperately resisting the intruder. Little did it know that it would encounter such a powerful opponent.
It was powerless to fight back, and now it hung its head in dejection, not daring to look at Xie Zhou. It was terrified of Xie Zhou; the poor Taotie was so frightened by the beating.
Xie Zhou wanted to squat down and take a good look at the little guy, but he saw that the little guy kept his tail between his legs and avoided her as if he had seen a plague god. Even though Xie Zhou wanted to relax and change his fierce appearance, it was still to no avail.
The Taotie hid far away as if it were a plague god, lying behind its own statue and only daring to show its head. Seeing the cowardly appearance of the Taotie, Xie Zhou couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He teased, "Hahaha...you little rascal, weren't you just showing off? Why are you so scared of me now? You promised to sign a pet contract, where did that go? Do you want to try the power of the Chaos Divine Lightning again?"
The Taotie scrutinized its master, who was now threatening and enticing it. It was extremely unwilling, but she was too powerful. It couldn't afford to offend her. If it were to lose its life by accident, it would be in grave danger.
Taotie, an ancient mythical beast, is already rare, and it is the only offspring of its kind. It's impossible that it was killed by someone just like that.
Looking at that smiling, seemingly kind face, Taotie's heart was still trembling uncontrollably. It felt that her smile was particularly eerie, and fear took over its entire body. Xie Zhou, seeing that it was still afraid of him, didn't bother to communicate with Taotie any further.
A cowardly fellow.
The system then said, "Host, sometimes it's important to humble yourself. It seems the Taotie is afraid of you..."
The two sides were deadlocked. Xie Zhou was surprised by Taotie's cowardice and showed no intention of taking a few more steps forward. Taotie, for some reason, was probably doing some mental preparation.
