Chapter 547 - 547: Powerful Molten Beast

It stared at Chu Qingyun.

The largest Molten Beast let out a dull, low roar.

Then, as if on command, the two smaller Molten Beasts sprang into action. They opened their ferocious, teeth-lined maws and roared furiously as they pounced on Chu Qingyun.

'Thunder Sword!'

'Iron Wire Ten-Star Vine!'

'Flame Martial Soul!'

Chu Qingyun commanded inwardly. With a swing of his blade, he unleashed the Thunder Sword, sending a ball of lightning blasting toward one of the Molten Beasts.

At the same time, a Martial Soul Illusion wreathed in flames materialized behind him.

Ten Flame Vines instantly sprouted and lashed out. In the blink of an eye, they had the other Molten Beast tightly bound in layer after layer.

A Molten Beast at the Earth Spirit Realm could not possibly withstand the blast from the Thunder Sword.

Under the relentless assault of thunder and lightning, the Molten Rock Armor on its body soon shattered.

The beast's body itself was even less able to resist. Its flesh was torn open by the blast, and it was sent flying backward, collapsing to the ground, barely breathing.

The other Molten Beast tore at the Flame Vines relentlessly with its sharp fangs and claws.

However, the vines from the Tier Four Iron Wire Ten-Star Vine Martial Soul were not something it could snap so easily. Moreover, the vines had incredible regenerative powers; even when bitten through, they would rapidly grow back.

The Martial Soul Fire from the Flame Martial Soul, however, had little to no effect on the Molten Beast.

Having lived in lands of magma their whole lives, their resistance to Flame Power was incredibly strong.

The ten vines pulled in unison, quickly dragging the Molten Beast before him.

The Molten Beast still refused to give up, opening its mouth to spew a jet of magma at Chu Qingyun.

Chu Qingyun sidestepped the attack. Then, a surge of Devouring Power erupted from his palm, instantly transforming into fine black threads that enveloped the Molten Beast's entire body.

The Devouring Power flared.

Under the Devouring Power, the dark Molten Rock Armor on the beast's body was rapidly reduced to a grayish-white powder that flaked away.

At the same time, streams of pure Rock Energy were absorbed into his body.

If Chu Qingyun were still cultivating the Earth Pattern of the Profound Celestial Divine Pattern, this level of pure energy might have been useful, perhaps even as a substitute for a Tier Four Spiritual Medicine.

As it was, however, the energy was useless to him. He could only expel it from his body and let it dissipate.

Under the Devouring Power, the Molten Beast's Molten Rock Armor soon gave way. With a CRACK, it shattered into dozens of pieces and fell from its body.

"AWOOOO!"

With its Molten Rock Armor gone, the Molten Beast let out a terrified howl.

But the Devouring Power immediately closed in, enmeshing its entire body like a great black net and began to madly consume its flesh and Primordial Power.

Without the protection of its Molten Rock Armor, the Molten Beast's defenses became incredibly weak.

In less than half a minute, the Devouring Power had consumed it completely, leaving behind nothing but a pile of dust and bones.

A little more Primordial Liquid collected in Chu Qingyun's Qi Sea, and another Blood Pill appeared in his hand.

After discovering the vital importance of Blood Pills to the cultivation of the Inner Chapter of the Ten Thousand Spirits Sacred Form, Chu Qingyun no longer treated their creation so casually, making them only when his mood suited him.

Whenever he had the chance, Chu Qingyun would create more Blood Pills.

The other Molten Beast was already mostly blown apart. Chu Qingyun simply unleashed his Devouring Power on it, reducing it to dust and bones as well.

Just then, the largest Molten Beast snapped back to its senses.

The initial use of the Devouring Power had filled the Molten Beast with a profound, instinctual fear.

But now, in the blink of an eye after it had recovered, the Molten Beast was stunned to discover that both its underlings had been wiped out.

Both of them reduced to dust and bones!

"ROAR!"

The largest Molten Beast let out a sharp, ear-piercing roar at Chu Qingyun, its form blurring into a black shadow as it shot straight toward him.

'So fast!'

Alarmed, Chu Qingyun immediately directed his ten Flame Vines to rapidly entangle the massive black shadow.

SLICE! SLICE! SLICE! SLICE...

The giant Molten Beast's claws on its forelimbs were like sharp blades. With a few swift slashes, it instantly severed all the vines.

The vines barely slowed its advance, failing to bind it in the slightest!

'Thunder Sword!'

Seizing the opportunity, Chu Qingyun swung his Thunder Shock Sword, unleashing an aerial slash at the Molten Beast.

The vines from the Iron Wire Ten-Star Vine Martial Soul kept regenerating, but after holding out for only a moment against the giant Molten Beast's claws, they finally shattered with a loud SNAP.

Behind Chu Qingyun, only the furiously burning Flame Martial Soul remained.

At almost the same instant, the lightning from the Thunder Sword crashed into the Molten Beast.

The relentless bolts of lightning struck the Molten Beast, making it howl in a frenzy.

However, after more than ten seconds of the assault, all it had managed to do was create a few fine cracks in its Molten Rock Armor. The beast itself was completely unharmed!

Both of his attacks had been useless.

The Molten Beast roared again and lunged at Chu Qingyun once more.

Chu Qingyun's expression darkened. 'Damn you. Let's see just how strong you really are!'

'Thunder Light Sword Qi!'

Chu Qingyun gripped his Thunder Shock Sword tightly, unleashing a blade of Thunder Light Sword Qi over seven meters long and bringing it down on the Molten Beast's head.

But the Molten Beast merely tilted its head to evade the strike, then swung its arm, slapping it heavily against the Sword Qi.

CLANG!

A deafening clang resounded.

The Thunder Light Sword Qi trembled violently from the blow, nearly shattering.

One of Chu Qingyun's arms went completely numb, while waves of paralysis spread through his other arm and down half his body.

The Molten Beast, however, had only taken half a step back. A gash was torn into the Molten Rock Armor on its arm.

And that was all!

'It's not a Level Eight... This thing definitely has strength comparable to a Level Nine Martial Spirit!'

'Even an ordinary Level Nine Martial Spirit might not be a match for a Level Nine Martial Spirit-class Demon Beast!'

Chu Qingyun was horrified.

He had previously guessed that this creature was likely a Molten Beast at the Eighth Level of the Martial Spirit realm.

He never expected that after actually fighting it, he would discover its strength was this immense!

Two of his moves in a row had been blocked with ease.

That little bit of fear the Molten Beast had felt toward the Devouring Power vanished in an instant. It let out an excited roar, once again becoming a black shadow as it lunged at Chu Qingyun.

Chu Qingyun circulated the Primordial Power and Iron Wire Ten-Star Vine Soul Power within his body.

Once feeling returned to his numb arm and the side of his body, he once again mustered his Thunder Light Sword Qi and charged to meet the Molten Beast.
