Chapter 109: The Battle of the Fifth-Order Spirit Beasts

  "Roar!" Wrapped in two terrifying auras, the Horned Wolf Beast's unease grew stronger. Its crimson eyes glared fiercely at the two figures, roaring incessantly.

  "Damn beast," Gu Mo's face was pale as a sheet. Forced to activate the Golden Dragon Seal, his vitality was nearly depleted, and his body swayed unsteadily.

  "Die!" Gu Mo suddenly shouted, clenching his fist. The golden dragon within the golden river seemed to awaken, its eyelids snapping open.

  Blinding golden light erupted, unleashing an overwhelmingly fearsome power. A brilliant golden beam shot from the dragon's eyes, scorching and terrifying, hurtling toward the Horned Wolf Beast.

  Boom! The divine light shattered the black aura surrounding the Horned Wolf Beast, piercing its abdomen. The immense force crushed the beast to the ground, leaving a gruesome wound that spurted blood.

  "Roar!" The searing pain reached its very soul, driving the Horned Wolf Beast into a frenzy. Its crimson eyes burned with malice as it charged toward Gu Mo.

  "Gu Qing, attack now!" Collapsed on the ground, Gu Mo panicked as he sensed the beast's violent aura closing in. He screamed in desperation.

  "Ha!" Gu Qing's closed eyes snapped open, and with a sharp cry, the green river surged violently, hanging in the air like an inverted torrent, cutting off the Horned Wolf Beast's path.

  The green river roared, its power climbing to the heavens. A dazzling green light shot forth, accompanied by a deafening roar, slamming into the Horned Wolf Beast.

  "Roar!" The Horned Wolf Beast bellowed, raising its massive arm to strike, tearing through the air.

  Bang! Faced with such a ferocious attack, the beast's arm was pierced, bones cracking as half its body was nearly obliterated.

  "Roar!" The Horned Wolf Beast's venomous gaze locked onto Gu Qing. Without hesitation, it fled, its third-tier beast body still formidable even with half its body destroyed.

  "Beast, stay!" Gu Qing sneered, his figure flashing to block the Horned Wolf Beast's path. His fists clenched, raining down a barrage of punches.

  "Haha, my turn." In the distance, Yang Tian stood up, watching Gu Qing's frenzy with a cold glint in his eyes. He dashed toward Gu Mo.

  The sound of rushing wind exploded, startling Gu Mo, who was recovering from his injuries. His eyes snapped open.

  "You... you..." The familiar face before him brought no joy, only fear.

  A fiery furnace appeared. Yang Tian grinned darkly, saying nothing. The Golden Crow Divine Furnace expanded to dozens of meters in an instant.

  "Time for you to suffer inside." Yang Tian grabbed Gu Mo and tossed him into the furnace.

  An endless sea of flames, scorching and overwhelming, engulfed Gu Mo at the bottom. Sweat poured down his face.

  "Yang Tian, I'll kill you!" Gu Mo roared in fury, trapped in the inferno that threatened to burn him alive.

  "Stay put. If you try anything, the flames above will rain down on you." Yang Tian observed the scene with a cold smile.

  Ignoring him, Gu Mo pounded on the furnace lid, trying to break free.

  "So, you're Yang Tian." A cold voice came from behind. Gu Qing had finally pieced together why they had encountered a third-tier beast—it was Yang Tian's doing.

  "Congratulations, you're right. But no prize." Yang Tian turned, his cold gaze settling on Gu Qing. He shrugged and smiled faintly.

  "I admire your courage. You're bold." Gu Qing smirked, rubbing his nose. "Mind telling me how you broke the energy seal?"

  "Idiot, stop playing games. Trying to buy time?" Yang Tian glanced at Gu Qing, walking toward him. His vibrant energy surged, crimson aura swirling around him, pressing down on Gu Qing.

  "Bastard!" Gu Qing growled, unleashing his stored energy. Each strand of energy gathered in the air, forming two massive arms that radiated fierce power.

  "Ancient Sky-Shattering Arms!" As the two giant arms surged, Gu Mo's vitality was nearly depleted. He lunged at Yang Tian.

  "Haha, I've seen this move before. A dying man shouldn't be so arrogant. Just lie down." Yang Tian chuckled as the figure charged at him.

  Boom! A river of energy surged above Yang Tian, erupting without restraint. The vibrant energy shook the heavens, the deafening drumming causing Gu Qing's newly formed arms to waver.

  The raging wind howled, shaking the arms in the air, creating a startling scene.

  "Scram!" Yang Tian roared, throwing a punch. A blazing sun rotated in the air, the piercing sound of explosions shattering the two illusory arms.

  "Impossible!" Gu Qing's face paled as the blazing sun rushed toward him. A protective robe appeared on his body, enveloping him in green light.

  "Don't think your turtle shell can save you." Yang Tian sneered, the blazing sun crashing into the robe.

  Boom! Scorching flames erupted, the air boiling like water. The surrounding area turned into a sea of fire, the red light overwhelming. The green barrier around Gu Qing trembled violently.

  "Cough... cough..." Blood trickled from Gu Qing's mouth as he coughed, dazed and disoriented.

  "Yang Tian, if you attack again, you'll trigger my soul mark. Think about the consequences." He warned, unwilling to give up.

  "Haha, I won't kill you. Don't worry, you're still useful." Yang Tian smiled. The Golden Crow Divine Furnace appeared, expanding to dozens of meters, swallowing Gu Qing in an instant.

  Two figures were now trapped in the furnace, surrounded by a sea of flames. Gu Mo was drenched in sweat, suffering immensely in the unbearable heat.

  "Haha." Yang Tian stored the furnace. Inside, they would only endure torment, not death.

  Just as Yang Tian was about to leave, the ground shook violently, cracks spreading across the surface.

  "What's happening?" Yang Tian scanned the surroundings. The area for miles around was trembling, and the nearby beasts cowered in fear.

  Roar! Suddenly, an enraged roar echoed, long and clear, like a dragon's cry, filled with boundless fury.

  The sound waves pierced Yang Tian's ears, causing pain.

  "Is that a spirit beast?" As the sound grew closer, Yang Tian's eyes darted around. In the distance, the sky changed color, a dazzling golden light rising into the air.

  "Awoo..." Xiao Bai leaped out, his big eyes fixed on the golden light, shimmering with excitement, as if eager to move.

  As Yang Tian watched in shock, the golden light was torn apart, and a massive figure emerged. A hundred meters tall, its body shimmered with silver light, two enormous wings flapping, stirring up spatial storms.

  "A Flying Silver Tiger! A fifth-order spirit beast!" Yang Tian's eyes widened. This was a beast equivalent to a War King, its power terrifying. Ordinary War Kings were no match for it.

  As Yang Tian stood stunned, a golden-scaled body rolled within the golden light. Its mountain-like body crushed the void, four golden claws slashing through the air.

  "That's a dragon!" Yang Tian gasped, staring at the golden dragon in awe.

  The dragon had two small crossed horns on its head, with intricate patterns and a hint of crimson at the tips. Its nose resembled a bull's, exhaling mist, and its golden eyes radiated light.

  "Why are these two fifth-order spirit beasts here?" Yang Tian hid in the grass, his gaze flicking between the two massive figures, muttering to himself.

  Screech! The golden dragon suddenly roared, shattering the void. Its energy surged, and its body swung, crushing mountains as it slammed into the Flying Silver Tiger.

  Roar! The Flying Silver Tiger's divine light flared, its massive wings flapping, creating powerful gusts like spatial storms, crashing into the dragon's tail.

  Boom! The two colossal figures clashed, shattering the void. The surrounding mountains were toppled, and hundred-meter-deep ravines were carved into the ground.

  "So strong." Yang Tian couldn't help but grin. Though ten miles away, the shockwaves from the battle reached him, tearing apart ancient trees and mountains.

  The commotion drew the attention of many, but upon seeing the massive figures in the sky, they shuddered. Even a fraction of that power would obliterate them, and they fled toward the Demon-Suppressing City.

  The golden dragon was formidable. The spatial storms unleashed by the Flying Silver Tiger couldn't harm it; its scales were too strong.

  "Why are these two beasts fighting?" Yang Tian watched from the grass. The Flying Silver Tiger was clearly at a disadvantage.

  Screech! The golden dragon let out a long cry, golden gas spewing from its mouth, crushing the void. The energy within was immense.

  Whoosh! Dozens of golden gas streams shot out, their terrifying power piercing the void, hurtling toward the Flying Silver Tiger.

  Roar! Faced with the ferocious attack, the Flying Silver Tiger let out a cry. The "king" character on its forehead glowed silver, its power surging. The character shot out, intercepting the golden energy.

  Boom! The void collapsed, the dazzling silver light dispersing the dragon's energy. The "king" character radiated immense power, blocking all the dragon's attacks.

  Screech! The golden dragon's eyes narrowed, its claws tearing through the void, colliding with the "king" character in a spectacular clash.

  Boom! The void cracked for thousands of meters, the scene horrifying. The space was nearly obliterated, dazzling light erupting everywhere.

  The two massive figures battled in the void. The Flying Silver Tiger slashed with its claws, tearing off scales. Both had terrifying bodies, but their only weapons were their physical forms.

  Compared to the golden dragon, the Flying Silver Tiger was more brutal. The dragon opened its mouth, biting chunks of flesh from the tiger, accompanied by agonized howls.

  Roar! The Flying Silver Tiger roared, its body now riddled with wounds. Blood rained from the sky as the tiger, realizing the situation was dire, tried to escape.

  Whoosh! Flapping its wings, the Flying Silver Tiger moved swiftly, covering a mile in an instant. But the golden dragon was faster, riding a wave of golden light in pursuit.

  "Damn it, why are they coming this way?" The overwhelming pressure made Yang Tian break out in a cold sweat. Watching the approaching figures, he couldn't help but grimace.
