Back to Chapter List
As the massive body of the Celestial Venom Scorpion Dragon Beast crashed down with thunderous force, the entire land seemed to tremble violently, as if undergoing an earthquake, with thick, arm-spanning cracks continuously spreading out from the point of impact. The beast's body had gouged a colossal crater into the earth, and the intense pain radiating from its eyes caused it to emit continuous, agonized shrieks—blood flowed like a steady stream from the ruptured orbits, a true blow from the Earth Spirit Puppet. "You pests! I shall crush you to atoms!" The Celestial Venom Scorpion Dragon Beast roared skyward, its voice filled with unmatched fury and determination. Since transforming into human form, this was undoubtedly the most humiliating moment it had ever faced. The roar settled, and the massive, fierce maw of the Sky-Toxin Scorpion Dragon Beast snapped open wide, rapidly coalescing into a thick, crimson energy surge. In mere moments, it solidified into a luminous crimson beam, half a cun in width. The immense power contained within the beam caused violent ripples to ripple through the surrounding space. Faced with the fluid, sinewy movements of Xiao Yan and his companions, though the crimson light column possessed an extremely formidable destructive power, it still felt somewhat like a cannon firing at a fly—inefficient and overwhelming in scale. Moreover, due to intense pain, the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast struggled to maintain precise control. As a result, the crimson light column sliced through the space and shot straight toward the distant horizon, eventually vanishing from sight. Master Tian's face grew serious, and a vast surge of spiritual power erupted from within him, pouring forth without reservation. As his hand seals shifted, this power coalesced into an invisible, colossal web stretching over a hundred zhang in width. "Go!" With a sweeping motion of his robe, the web roared downward and instantly enveloped the massive body of the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast. Xiao Yan nodded slightly, and with a finger gesture, the Earth Spirit Automaton hovering in midair leapt down from the sky, crashing onto the massive body of the Sky-Toxin Scorpion Dragon Beast like a cannonball. The tremendous impact caused the latter's body to collapse instantly. "Roar!" The intense force transmitted through its body sent the Sky-Toxin Scorpion Dragon Beast into a frenzy of rage. It violently swung its massive scorpion tail, sending a streak of black shadow and cold brilliance slashing toward the Earth Spirit Automaton on its back. Under the dual pressure of the Soul Web and the Fire Wolf, even though the Heavenly Venom Scorpion Dragon Beast was massive, it could barely move, only struggling wildly, causing the earth to tremble continuously and fissures to spread rapidly. Crack! A streak of silver light flashed over the Heavenly Venom Scorpion Dragon Beast's head, and a brilliant silver fist landed squarely upon its crown with unwavering force. The Earth Spirit Puppet's combat power largely stemmed from its body—this body, refined through countless trials—was already exceptionally powerful even without the use of any Qi. Now, with this single blow, despite the Heavenly Venom Scorpion Dragon Beast possessing the strength of an Eight-Star Battle Sect master, it emitted a sharp cry of pain and its frantic struggles intensified dramatically. And amidst his frantic struggles, thick, corrosive plumes of blood surged forth from within him. Under the eerie blood mist, the soul net of the Heavenly Fire Sovereign began to emit hissing sounds... Thud! Thud! Thud! Witnessing this, Xiao Yan's expression grew serious. His mind stirred, and he tightened the grip of the Earth Spirit Puppet's fist once again, then delivered one powerful blow after another, like a pile driver, relentlessly hammering the same spot on the head of the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast. The strange blood mist also emitted hissing sounds when it came into contact with the Earth Spirit Puppet's body. Remarkably, even on the dry, solid surface of the Puppet, cracks began to appear under the intense corrosion. Noticing this change in the Earth Spirit Puppet, Xiao Yan's face slightly tightened. He hadn't expected the poison within the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast to be so potent—it even overwhelmed the sturdy physique of the Earth Spirit Puppet. His gaze flickered slightly, and then a cold determination flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes—truly, he didn't believe that with their阵容,this Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast could possibly turn the tide! A command surged from within his mind, and the Earth Immortal Puppet instantly erupted with a brilliant silver glow, barely holding off the blood mist. Yet its fists rained down upon the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast's head like a deluge, each solid thud resonating like strikes on a drum, sending a tightening sensation through the hearts of the onlookers. Now, the physical strength of the Earth Spirit Puppet is such that a single punch would force a typical Douzong powerhouse to cough up blood. Yet this Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast, relying on its thick hide, has endured dozens of such blows—though even so, the armor atop its head has completely shattered, spewing out torrents of blood, and faintly, the white, intricate objects within its brain can be seen. With this intense pain, the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast also realizes, in growing horror, that a sense of helplessness is slowly spreading from its core, as vitality seems to be rapidly fleeing it. At this point, it finally begins to feel fear—should this continue, it truly might not survive today! "Stop! What do you want from me? I am a member of the Scorpion Dragon Clan. If you kill me, they will never forgive you!" The beast, with its blood-red single eye blazing, roared—this time, its voice carried a note of genuine fear. "We want your magical core." Xiao Yan smiled faintly, yet offered the creature no chance to recover. He knew well that, facing a beast of such strength as the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon, even the slightest misstep would mean their entire effort would be wasted. After all, they had invested so much effort to capture this creature—what would be the point if it simply escaped at the end? Even as Xiao Yan spoke, the Earth Spirit Puppet continued to strike like an unyielding machine of destruction, each punch landing with force that sent ripples through the space itself. With every strike, an invisible wave of energy radiated outward, nearly shattering the outer layers of the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon’s body. Sustaining such relentless blows, even the formidable Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon found it difficult to withstand. A sense of impending death settled over its core. Under this sense of impending death, the gaze in Tian-Toxic Scorpion Dragon Beast's eyes toward Xiao Yan flickered with growing resentment. After a pause, it finally spoke with cold determination, "By the bloodline of the Scorpion Dragon Clan, I swear—you shall flee for the rest of your life, hunted down by my Scorpion Dragon Clan!" As soon as the words fell, the other blood-red eye of the beast detached itself automatically, bursting open. A slender streak of blood surged through space at an astonishing speed, then lightning-fast pierced into Xiao Yan's body. The speed of this blood streak was terrifying—Xiao Yan could only watch helplessly, unable to move or evade. "The Scorpion Dragon Clan will never let you go. You will never escape," the Tian-Toxic Scorpion Dragon Beast sneered, with venom in its deep, vast eyes, two streams of blood gushing forth like springs. Xiao Yan's face grew cold. With a movement of his hand seal, a brilliant silver glow erupted from the body of the Earth Spirit Puppet, gathering all its strength. Then, he delivered a powerful punch! With this punch delivered, the space around instantly shattered, forming a half-foot-wide black void! Boom! The terrifying punch, infused with overwhelming power, struck dead upon the top of the Sky-Toxin Scorpion Dragon Beast's head. Under such devastating force, the creature's massive head burst with a loud pop, transforming into countless splinters of blood and flesh, violently rupturing.
