Under the Extreme Abyss, in a place whose depth is unknown.
Crimson light gradually enlarges in the darkness, eventually resembling two red mountains illuminated in the night.
This is not a mountain, but a pair of eyes!
Dark red patterns light up, winding like a dragon, outlining the body of this colossal creature—
A thousand meters long, two legs and four arms, like a demon god of Hell awakening from slumber!
This is an extension layer where only its existence is recognized; no Exotic Beasts dare to stay here.
Buzz—
Space oscillates, and a sharp grinding sound emanates from the oscillation.
Humans have researched Exotic Beasts for thousands of years, and long ago reached a conclusion—
The higher the grade of the Exotic Beast, the higher its intelligence.
The intelligence of top Third Grade Exotic Beasts is no different from adult humans!
The sound coming through the spatial oscillation at this moment is the 'whisper' of a Ninth Grade Beast:
"Gui Yan, have you sensed it too?"
The four-armed 'Demon' with a thousand-meter body silently responds:
"Sheng Lu, do you want to compete with me?"
Primordial and murderous intent is transmitted back through the sound from another extension layer tens of thousands of meters away.
"Gui Yan, this is a great opportunity!"
"Not only I will compete with you, but other old geezers will act as soon as they sense it!"
"Then let them all die!!"
"Gui Yan, after all these years, you still refuse to use your intelligence."
"Sheng Lu, intelligence did not help you defeat me."
"Gui Yan, let's ally; only together can we ensure the item falls into our hands."
"There is only one item, how do we divide it?"
"No one can swallow it alone, share it together."
"..."
"Anyone who tries to swallow it alone will be torn apart by the others joining forces. Only by allying can we protect it."
"Alright, I agree, Sheng Lu."
The four-armed Gui Yan reveals a bloodthirsty gleam in its crimson eyes.
It looks up and prepares to move.
"Good, now we just need to wait."
Sheng Lu's voice comes again.
Gui Yan: "Wait? While the others haven't fully awakened yet, can't we just take it first?"
Sheng Lu: "No, can't you feel it? There's a human presence, swiftly slaughtering those weak creatures; I suspect it's a trap."
"A mere human, just eat him."
Gui Yan says dismissively.
Sheng Lu: "Have you forgotten how Jiao Ming died over five hundred years ago?"
"..."
Gui Yan falls silent.
Proud as it is, it must reluctantly acknowledge that the human who ventured into the Extreme Abyss over five hundred years ago was indeed powerful!
Even it felt a trace of fear!
Jiao Ming provoked him, and then unavoidably died at his hands.
Fortunately, after killing Jiao Ming, that human did not continue deeper, but left the Extreme Abyss.
"Human..."
Gui Yan murmurs deeply.
Thousands of years ago, Exotic Beasts ruled this continent.
But as humans cultivated Martial Arts and Magic Dao, growing stronger, Exotic Beasts gradually became cultivation resources.
When humans' Peak Strong Persons began to appear, even Ninth Grade Beasts had to give way.
"Let the other old geezers probe first; we'll seize the opportunity before acting."
Sheng Lu's voice echoes.
Thus, the two Ninth Grade Beasts reach a consensus.
...
The darkness is as thick as coagulated ink, devouring all light.
In this suffocating chaos, a brilliant Sword Light suddenly tears through the darkness like the first dawn that splits the heavens and the earth!
The target of the Sword Light is a terrifying presence covering nearly half of the sky—
A giant bird-like Exotic Beast, over a hundred meters long.
Its body is covered with heavy bone armor as dark as Mystic Iron, with lava-like dark red patterns flowing between the seams.
It screeches, the sound is not a shrill cry, but like millions of grieving souls wailing in the Abyss.
Yet the Sword Light ignores its might, its roar, and even its terrifying Divine Skills trying to distort space and annihilate energy.
The Sword Light simply, purely, with indifference, flashes by.
Chii—la—
The huge beast, a hundred meters long, along with its proud bone armor, flowing lava patterns, and body containing destructive energy, is precisely split into two by this Sword Light at the midline!
This is a Seventh Grade Beast with three Divine Skills!
Li Fei's figure stands firm in the midst of the blood rain and falling massive corpse fragments.
From the moment he activated the Soul Attraction Pearl, this Dark Plain has become a meat grinder.
Over a hundred fierce Exotic Beasts, all at least Sixth Grade, flock like moths to a flame, turning into corpses amidst this invisible death sword net.
The ground beneath is already covered with layers of Exotic Beast corpses and viscous blood, forming a ghastly crimson swamp, with the air dense enough to suffocate any living being!
This bird-shaped Exotic Beast is the eighth Seventh Grade Beast Li Fei has slain!
The ground beneath suddenly shakes violently without warning.
Li Fei looks down at the soil, without any hesitation or extra motion, his right fist suddenly clenches tightly.
Boom—roo—m—!!!
An extremely pure and extremely domineering dazzling golden light explodes from his clenched fist.
This light is so fierce, so pure, instantly dispelling the surrounding hundreds of meters of darkness, as if a miniature sun is born under his fist!
The golden light transforms into a raptor-like golden dragon splitting the sky, or like a divine thunder of Nine Heavens that judges all, crashing fiercely, frenzied towards the trembling darkened earth beneath!
