Chapter 1629: Chapter 1625: Dark Beast King

Shen Luo was acutely aware of the toll time divine ability took on Nie Caizhu, and in urgency, disregarded the drain of his own mana to push the capabilities of the Golden Sword Array to their utmost limit.

The ten groups of sword wheels shone even more brilliantly, suddenly bursting into multicolored flames – these were the Heavenly Fire contained within the Pure Yang Sword.

The ten groups of sword wheels instantly turned into ten small suns, and each sword of light that flew down was imbued with Spirit Fire, greatly enhancing their power by several times.

The dark beasts that were struggling to hold on could no longer withstand the assault, pierced one by one by the flaming swords of light, their bodies igniting in multicolored flames, and in mere moments, all turned into ashes, leaving only three True Immortal dark beasts within the sword formation.

The Black Qi on the surfaces of these three dark beasts began to collapse at a rate several times faster than before, leaving only a thin layer after just a few breaths, looking as if it would dissolve completely at any moment.

The three beasts showed signs of panic, exchanged glances, and then pounced in the same direction.

Seeing this, Shen Luo’s eyebrows raised slightly; although he didn’t know what these three dark beasts were planning, they were clearly making a desperate last stand, and he could not let them have their way.

The sword technique he was performing changed, and burning swords of light quickly converged, forming a sword Qi light curtain in the blink of an eye, blocking in front of the three dark beasts, isolating the Two-Headed Black Tiger Dark Beast to one side.

This beast slammed into the sword qi light curtain with a “bang,” its massive body being knocked back.

Shen Luo was about to form another sword Qi light curtain to separate the Black Giant Lizard and the Black Giant Spider but was a step too late; the two dark beasts had already leapt together, their bodies merging like liquid, causing the Black Qi on their surfaces to swell dramatically.

“The dark beasts have such a merging ability?” A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, yet he didn’t concern himself with it, pointing a finger towards the isolated Two-Headed Black Tiger.

The direction of the falling burning swords shifted instantly, all striking towards the Two-Headed Black Tiger, forming a mighty sword Qi river that engulfed its figure.

The body of the Two-Headed Black Tiger burst with a “puff,” and then was completely shattered by the sword Qi river, with none of its body parts, infused with Witchcraft Power, left behind.

Shen Luo led with a sword technique, and the direction of the sword Qi river shifted, slashing entirely onto the merged dark beast, overwhelming it.

The Black Giant Lizard and the Black Giant Spider, having merged, were much more powerful, but still far inferior compared to the Pure Yang Golden Light Sword Array. The dense Black Qi that had just risen started to collapse and scatter rapidly again.

“Roar!” “Squeak!”

Two shrill screams came from within the Black Qi. The beasts performed some divine ability, and the Black Qi suddenly expanded and spun like a vortex. Although it still couldn’t withstand the sword Qi river, the speed at which the Black Qi weakened was significantly reduced.

Impatience flashed in Shen Luo’s eyes. With a flip of his hand, he took out an object – it was the Five-Flame Seven-Birds Fan. He aimed it at the merged dark beast and fanned it vigorously.

The situation on Nie Caizhu’s side was urgent, and he did not want to waste a moment’s time.

A “boom” resounded!

Five streams of Heavenly Fire burst forth, forming a massive five-colored flame pillar, ferociously striking against the merged dark beast, burning away all the Black Qi on its surface with an overwhelming force, revealing a merged body halfway between a lizard and a spider, utterly grotesque in appearance.

A sea of five-colored flames enveloped the merged dark beast, the sword Qi river roared in, slicing into the flames.

Heart-wrenching screams rang out, followed by rapid weakening and disappearance.

Under the combined assault of the Five-Flame Seven-Birds Fan and the Golden Sword Array, the merged dark beast was utterly destroyed, not leaving a trace behind.

Mowing down the dark beasts on the Square as if they were mere vegetables, Shen Luo had also expended over half of his mana, his complexion turning slightly pale.

However, he simply took out an Immortal Crystal and held it in his hand, absorbing the pure Spiritual Power within to recover his mana, and immediately rushed toward Nie Caizhu’s location.

Accompanying his flight, the Pure Yang Golden Light Sword Array rumbled in that direction as well, like a golden giant maw biting towards the Tomb Building.

Nie Caizhu strained to resist the dark tendrils with her Time Divine Ability, clearly struggling, but her eyes brightened at the sight of how quickly Shen Luo had dispatched the Dark Beasts in the Square.

“Fire Rain Slash!” Shen Luo shouted lowly, drawing his hands through the air.

Countless flaming Sword Qi rained down, covering the sky and land, aiming to completely destroy the Tomb Building with unmatched power.

Within the Tomb Building, a pair of blood-red massive eyes flashed with a hint of shock and fury. The dark tendrils attacking Nie Caizhu drew back and whipped out like giant whips towards the descending sword rain, creating numerous afterimages and sweeping away the entire sky full of Sword Light.

At this moment, Shen Luo could clearly see the true form of the creature within the Tomb Building. It was a monstrous entity towering over a dozen feet tall, half-human and half-lion, its neck covered with pitch-black thick manes that looked both eerie and majestic.

Apart from its blood-red eyes, the lion’s head also boasted two additional pairs of eyes, located one pair above and one below the first, though all were tightly closed.

The space inside the Tomb Building was not small. It was a gigantic stone great hall that spanned two to three hundred feet. Next to the half-human, half-lion monster sat an ancient altar, very similar to one Shen Luo had seen in the Netherworld before.

The entire altar was covered in black lines, appearing to be some sort of prohibition from the Witch Clan. At the top was a square stone platform.

An old black mirror stood on the stone platform, its surface also faintly adorned with black patterns, connected and integral with the stone platform.

Thick black light emanated from the Black Ancient Mirror. The eight dark tendrils outside were actually shooting out from this old mirror, and the half-human monster had one palm pressed on the mirror’s surface, half of the hand seemingly absorbed into it, as if it was swallowed by the mirror.

This half-human monster possessed an immense aura that had already reached the Taiyi Level, far surpassing the three True Immortal Dark Beasts outside.

This creature was none other than the Dark Beast King that dominated this area and commanded an array of Dark Beasts. It had a significant connection with the ancient mirror, which allowed it to barely harness the divine might of this treasure.

For this reason, the Dark Beast King’s body was also integrated with the Black Ancient Mirror, unable to leave the great hall to confront the enemy, and could only helplessly watch as Shen Luo slaughtered all its subordinates.

Shen Luo, witnessing this scene, was momentarily stunned.

He had launched the Sword Array attack on the Tomb Building, merely trying to break open the roof to glimpse the interior situation. He did not expect the Dark Beast inside to go to great lengths to protect this great hall, which was beyond his expectations.

Since the opponent cared so much about this great hall, dealing with it just got a lot easier.

He formed a diagram with his hands to activate the Sword Array, and an even greater torrent of sword rain once again assaulted the Tomb Building.

Sure enough, the eight tendrils waved repeatedly, bringing up gusts of wind, forming a giant black net that blocked the torrent of sword rain thoroughly.

“So it’s true, this great hall really is important to the Dark Beast,” Shen Luo realized as his strategy proved successful, continuing to drive the Sword Array down while a yellow shadow flickered behind him, and then disappeared from sight.

The Dark Beast King, while using the dark tendrils to block the sword light, was seething with rage inside.

This Tomb Building was replete with prohibitions, closely connected with the altar and the ancient mirror, forming a Witch Clan Array that allowed the activation of this ancient mirror.

If the building collapsed or the prohibitions were damaged, the ancient mirror would lose its effectiveness, leaving it no choice but to strive to defend against the onslaught.

Just then, lightning flashed at the entrance of the great hall. A bolt of purple thunder flew in, revealing Shen Luo’s figure.

Without the slightest delay in his movements, Shen Luo flipped his hand and summoned the Profound Yellow Staff, exerting his full strength to launch the Splashy Chaotic Stick technique.

A mountain of stick shadows hit the Dark Beast King. Before they even landed, an overwhelming heavy force that could squeeze the skies was already pressing down upon it.

Outside the great hall, the Pure Yang Golden Light Sword Array was still running at full force, with countless sword rain striking the great hall, and Nie Caizhu also activated Hou Yi’s Power, shooting numerous light arrows at the Tomb Building.

The eight dark tendrils could only fully resist, unable to retract back into the hall to fend off the enemy.
