"Roar!!!"

From the pitch-black depths came a terrifying roar.

The immense volume directly cracked the ground, opening countless deep fissures, causing the entire space to shake violently.

What sound?!

All four other people present, except Qin Chuan, showed panicked expressions, startled by the sudden, massive roar.

Shen Qinghan, naturally timid, turned pale and sweated in her palms from the fright.

Lin Zichen clenched her hand tightly, giving her a sense of security while staring intently in the direction of the roar, ready to escape.

Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua, ahead of them, wore vigilant expressions, adjusting their Qi-Blood and Essence Blood to their peak.

The energy contained within the roar was too strong.

The creature itself must start at least at High Legendary Level.

High Legendary Level, a realm approaching that of Mythical Level beings.

Even as the City Lord of City No. 1, Qin Chuan's Biological Level couldn't reach this level.

Only Earth's powerhouses like Vice Governor Ye Yongsheng could touch upon the High Legendary Level.

As for the Mythical Level above, the entire Earth's forces could be counted on one's fingers.

"Roar!!!"

As the roar grew more deafening.

The next second, an elementalized ferocious beast leapt out from the depths and slammed into the spot directly beneath the pond, entering the line of sight of everyone present.

The moment the beast appeared, all the living beings in the pond above rapidly swam upwards, seemingly fleeing.

Lin Zichen tightly grasped Shen Qinghan's hand, fixating on the beast before him without blinking.

The beast bore a resemblance to a qilin.

Its size was immense, more than ten times that of an adult elephant on Earth.

Its body composition was very peculiar.

Entirely gaseous.

It looked like a cluster of blue flames.

But it didn't give off scorching high temperatures.

All there was, was the oppressive Origin Force.

Pressurizing enough to make breathing difficult.

"Buzz!"

A rapid sound of tearing through the air echoed.

The ferocious beast ignored Lin Zichen, Shen Qinghan, and Qin Chuan, targeting Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua with clear intent, rushing at them.

As fast as lightning.

So quick that even Legendary Level eyes could hardly see it.

Facing the sudden attack of the ferocious beast, Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua reacted swiftly, instantly activating a variety of Exotic Beast Genes within their bodies.

Then, they vigorously burst their Blood Qi, releasing vast and boundless Blood Qi Power, ready to meet the incoming beast head-on.

The next instant—

"Boom!"

A horrifying collision sounded from the bottom of the pond, turning the entire pond bed into a wasteland.

The shock wave from the blast sent Lin Zichen flying from the corner, swiftly thrown backward.

Lin Zichen tried to stabilize himself, but the power of the shock wave was simply too strong to be steadied.

Having no other choice, he could only hold Shen Qinghan tightly, protecting her body, and braced for the terrifying impact to come.

"Boom!"

With that crashing sound.

Lin Zichen slammed hard against a solid stone wall, leaving behind a large and shocking web of cracks.

Under the strong recoil, he was shaken to the point of spitting blood, his face pale.

Shen Qinghan, cushioned by his body, experienced a much lighter rebound force. However, due to her relatively weak physical strength, her injuries were not much lighter than his.

Elsewhere.

Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua, who directly confronted the ferocious beast, were battered by the terrifying force of the Origin Force, their faces a complete mess and in a sorry state.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

In the following few seconds.

The sounds of collision continued non-stop.

The beast was attacked hundreds of times but remained unscathed in its gaseous form, even seeming to grow stronger.

While Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua, having only been attacked a few times by the beast, were seriously injured, heavily depleted of Qi-Blood and spirit, their strength significantly decreased.

"Bai Wubian!"

"Quick, take out the Source Crystals you put into the Storage Space earlier and put them back where they were!"

"This beast is only attacking us and not the other three, surely it has something to do with the Source Crystals we stored in the Storage Space!"

Shangguan Yuehua shouted while taking the Source Crystals out of her Storage Space.

Upon hearing this, Bai Wubian immediately took out the Source Crystals from his Storage Space and put them back in their original place, relying on his memory.

As soon as they took out the Source Crystals,

The ferocious beast that had been furiously attacking them suddenly stopped and went to check on the Source Crystals that had been put back.

Seeing this, Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua both breathed a sigh of relief, never expecting that it was these Source Crystals that had provoked the attack from the beast.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, a figure rushed towards Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua at high speed.

Stay tuned for updates on empire

So fast it rubbed against the air, producing a piercing whizzing sound.

Causing one's eardrums to buzz.

It was Qin Chuan!

He had recovered most of his strength after resting for a moment on the side.

Seeing that Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua were both heavily injured, he decisively sacrificed his Essence Blood to overly activate the Exotic Beast Gene within him, aggressively attacking them.

He was taking advantage of their weakness to take their lives.

Although Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua were severely injured, Qin Chuan was not in much better condition.

Therefore, when faced with Qin Chuan's sudden attack, Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua were not the least bit panicked, but calmly joined forces to fight back with full strength.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sound of their collision kept exploding.

The entirety of the pond bed was filled with the aftermath of their confrontation, shaking the surrounding stones into the air and even wearing away the air itself.
