“Beast!”

Wang Chong swung his sword at the Dragonbeast down below. Plush! The sword stabbed straight into the Dragonbeast’s head.

Awoooo!

This sudden wound caused the Dragonbeast to howl and shrink backward, and it quickly vanished back into the earth.

Wang Chong couldn’t help but grimace at this sight. The Origin Immortal Sword was four feet long and had struck the head. But the Dragonbeast had still been able to escape! Such vitality was simply terrifying.

But the one most shocked was the Origin Immortal Chief. The Dragonbeasts were divine beasts raised by the Origin Immortal lineage, and they should have only listened to their orders. They were also not inclined to leave their dens.

For the Dragonbeast to chase them down and attack all the martial artists without warning was not normal at all.

“How could it be like this?”

The Origin Immortal Chief’s eyes flew open in shock. She could clearly sense that something had changed with the Dragonbeast.

Roooar!

Not long after the Dragonbeast retreated, another savage roar could be heard. It was apparent that it was not just one Dragonbeast hunting down the group, but the most astonishing thing was still to come…

“Brat, you think you can escape? The more the Origin Immortal Lord wants to protect you, the more this lord wants to kill you! In front of this lord, the Child of Destiny is just a plaything!” A thunderous voice came from beneath the earth, one that was brimming with hostility and darkness. More importantly, Wang Chong recognized this tone.

But how was it possible?!

Boom!

Before Wang Chong and the Origin Immortal Chief could react, the ground down below crumbled, and a terrifying energy exploded outward. A cold and sinister wind howled as a massive Dragonbeast slowly emerged from the darkness.

Wang Chong and the Origin Immortal looked over and immediately saw two dark green eyes slowly approaching them.

Buzz!

The Origin Immortal Chief had only doubts at first, but when the Dragonbeast opened its mouth and spoke in human tongue, everything was confirmed. Even Song Yuanyi in the back was stunned.

“Origin used a formation buried under here for more than one thousand years to scheme against this lord and hold down my fleshly body. This lord will take your life to vent my anger! I’d like to see what Origin can do about that!”

The Dragonbeast slowly approached, its words chilling to the bone.

True Lord Yellow Dragon!

A name appeared in everyone’s minds, and their faces paled while their bodies shuddered.

Even though True Lord Yellow Dragon was being held beneath the earth by the Origin Immortal Lord, his mind had managed to attach itself to the Dragonbeast, which was now pursuing the group. No one had expected something so bizarre and terrifying to take place.

“Hmph, it’s just a few beasts. You really think that’s enough to deal with me?!”

To everyone else’s surprise, Wang Chong coldly snorted and raised his sword, showing no signs of backing down.

“What a pity! To think that even the mighty True Lord Yellow Dragon would have to attach himself to the body of a beast!”

“Brat, wagging your tongue! Seeking death!”

True Lord Yellow Dragon was infuriated by Wang Chong’s jeers, and then the other two Dragonbeasts emerged, their mouths opening at the same time and speaking the same words, their crimson eyes turning dark green. Rumble! In the blink of an eye, the three Dragonbeasts lunged at Wang Chong.

Boom!

At this moment, Wang Chong sent a stream of Psychic Energy hurtling into the minds of the three Dragonbeasts.

Upon confirming that True Lord Yellow Dragon really had attached his mind to the three Dragonbeasts, Wang Chong had developed a plan. The best way to deal with this kind of beast was not weapons or Stellar Energy, but through the mind. As long as he could shatter the consciousness that True Lord Yellow Dragon had attached to the Dragonbeasts, he could free them from his control.

With a thunderous boom, Wang Chong’s tangible Psychic Energy slammed into the three Dragonbeasts.

Awooo!

The Dragonbeasts came to a sudden halt, like they had run into an invisible barrier, but a moment later, the familiar energy of True Lord Yellow Dragon came roaring back.

“Useless! Brat! This isn’t the mental body you think it is, but an ancient mental possession art beyond the imagination of ants like you! My mind has already fused together with the three Dragonbeasts. This isn’t something that a single mental strike from you can shatter.

“Did you think this lord would repeat the error of the Earth Devil?!”

True Lord Yellow Dragon’s mocking voice resounded through the passage, and then the three Dragonbeasts lunged at Wang Chong once more.

Creee!

As the three Dragonbeasts charged, a sharp whistle pierced through the air. A moment later, as the Dragonbeasts roared, the Stellar-Piercing Beetles began to rush at them.

These beetles used their mandibles that could bite through the steel to madly attack the Dragonbeasts. One beetle had insignificant strength, but hundreds to thousands of them instantly drowned the three Dragonbeasts under a great wave, attacking every inch of their bodies.

Even the Dragonbeasts couldn’t help but fall back as they angrily roared.

“Damn it! You lowly slave! This lord will kill you!”

True Lord Yellow Dragon’s shocked and infuriated voice came from the three Dragonbeasts.

The powerful bodies of the Dragonbeasts countered all Stellar Energy attacks from martial artists and made them a nightmare to deal with, but this ability was practically useless against the beetles. These two vicious species had never fought each other in the thousand years they had been under the control of the Origin Immortal Villagers, but now, they were each facing a formidable foe.

A gout of lava-like flame struck a group of several dozen beetles, cooking them alive. Their smoking bodies dropped to the ground, but their fellows continued to attack with the same ferocity.

Awoooo! One of the Dragonbeasts had been gnawed into a bleeding mess by the countless Stellar-Piercing Beetles, and some of the beetles were even trying to enter its body through the wounds.

Boom!

On the other side, another Dragonbeast erupted with strength and slammed into a wall. Pop! Pop! Pop! Several beetles exploded under the impact, golden liquid painting the walls. The Dragonbeast had relied purely on physical force, so the beetles were powerless to resist.

But the beetles differed greatly between individuals, and quite a few of them had tough carapaces and tenacious vitalities. Thus, even though the Dragonbeasts breathed fire, rammed against walls, and swung with their claws, many of the beetles managed to survive.

These beetles also had a hive mind. The death of one beetle would incur the rage of all the others, and their ferocity would only increase the more that were killed.

“!!!”

Wang Chong was left dumbstruck by this sight. He had never expected things to turn out this way.

“Young Patriarch, hurry and go!”

The sound of the flute faded away and the Origin Immortal Chief began to speak.

“More than half of the beetles have died, and they’ve gone into a frenzy. Even without the flute, they will continue to attack the Dragonbeasts. Most importantly, now that the beetles have frenzied, they will attack without distinction. We must leave this place!”

The Origin Immortal Chief pulled on Wang Chong and rushed away.

Song Yuanyi also began to flee.

“Damn woman! Damn bugs! This lord will tear your bodies to pieces!”

The battle between the beetles and Dragonbeasts intensified, and the roars of True Lord Yellow Dragon resounded through the underground passage. But the three of them didn’t even turn their heads, focusing completely on fleeing.

Boom! Wang Chong thrust out a palm, instantly knocking down a large pile of rocks to block the passage. Although this wasn’t enough to stop the Dragonbeasts, it would be enough to delay them if the beetles couldn’t hold them down.

Several thousand meters went by in the blink of an eye, and they could no longer hear the battling of the Dragonbeasts. As the three of them fled, the passage slowly began to get brighter and brighter. It was still dark, but it wasn’t completely devoid of light.

“We’re almost at the surface. Focus! It’s just another two or three thousand meters until we’re finally out!” Wang Chong excitedly said.

The group picked up the pace.

“I will send you off here!” A voice suddenly came from behind Wang Chong, causing him to come to a trembling stop.

“Chief?”

Turning around in surprise, Wang Chong saw that the Origin Immortal Chief had stopped some eighty feet away. The Origin Immortal Chief had a relieved smile on her face, a smile that Wang Chong found extremely strange. For a moment, Wang Chong couldn’t understand what was going on.

“Young Patriarch, from here, you’re safe. By sending you up to here, I have fulfilled the last of my desires. I no longer have any regrets.”

The Origin Immortal Chief smiled at Wang Chong.

“Chief, what nonsense are you saying? We’re almost out of here! Get over here!”

Wang Chong’s eyebrows twitched as an ill foreboding entered his mind. It was like some accident had taken place that he knew nothing about, or like he had lost some important object.
