"Strike first, strike hard!"
Yuanrong’s handsome face twisted with savage killing intent.
"No matter how numerous, they’re just a pack of beasts! Slaughter them all to secure the teleportation array."
As soon as he spoke, nine flying swords materialized around Yuanrong.
The swords shot through the air in nine different directions, each targeting a seventh-tier demonic beast.
"Fellow Daoist, your words resonate with my own intentions!"
Daoist Monarch Yongcheng roared with laughter, and a ten-zhang-tall banner suddenly appeared above his head.
As the banner billowed, it unleashed several tornadoes that swept down upon the demon beasts and Vermilion Monstrous Flowers below.
Where the flying swords passed, the nine seventh-tier demonic beasts instantly perished, offering no resistance whatsoever.
Where the tornadoes raged, earth and soil surged skyward, Vermilion Monstrous Flowers were uprooted, and countless demon beasts were ground into bloody pulp, creating a scene of apocalyptic devastation.
This massive horde of demon beasts, confronted by the sudden intrusion of human cultivators, proved as fragile as clay chickens and earthenware dogs, seemingly on the verge of complete annihilation.
"What are you juniors standing around for? Get moving!" Daoist Monarch Yongcheng snorted coldly.
His command was directed at Song Wen and the others, ordering them to join the slaughter of the demon beasts and Vermilion Monstrous Flowers.
Hearing this, the group immediately sprang into action.
Song Wen summoned a high-grade spirit treasure flying sword.
This sword had been obtained from a kill.
Having never cultivated any sword techniques or arts, Song Wen couldn’t fully unleash the power of the high-grade spirit treasure flying sword. Still, it was sufficient for putting on a show.
Watching the demon beasts and Vermilion Monstrous Flowers shatter into pieces, Song Wen couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret.
These were all excellent spiritual materials for cultivation, now being wasted.
If he could devour the souls of these demon beasts, his divine sense realm might break through to the Great Ascension Stage—assuming he bypassed any cultivation bottlenecks, of course.
Moreover, if the Divine Blood Emperor Seal could absorb the blood essence of these demon beasts, its power would undoubtedly increase significantly.
After refining the Blood Sea Seal into the Undying Blood Sea Yama Emperor Seal, there were two ways to enhance its power: improving its "quality" and increasing its "quantity."
The former involved finding compatible heavenly materials and earthly treasures to fuse with the Blood Sea Emperor Seal, thereby enhancing its inherent power.
The latter focused on increasing the amount of blood essence within the Blood Sea Emperor Seal.
Having advanced to the Body Integration Stage, Song Wen’s divine sense now covered a radius of five thousand li. In other words, the blood sea’s maximum diameter and depth could reach ten thousand li.
Such a vast ocean of blood required an immense quantity of blood essence to fill.
Unfortunately, with Yuanrong present, Song Wen dared not summon the Blood Sea Seal. Otherwise, he could have used it to cleanse the battlefield, secretly devouring the blood essence and souls of the demon beasts.
Forty high-tier cultivators unleashed their full might, sword light raining down like a storm and mystic treasures arcing like rainbows, swiftly clearing the demon beasts and Vermilion Monstrous Flowers within a thousand-mile radius.
Just as they were about to expand their encirclement, a colossal Demon Beast suddenly emerged from the distant mountains.
The creature stood three thousand meters tall, formed from countless spider-bodied, human-headed demon beasts fused together.
Moreover, it possessed two arms and two legs, standing upright in a distinctly humanoid posture!
"This..."
Daoist Monarch Yongcheng’s brow furrowed, a flicker of astonishment in his eyes.
"Are these fiends truly this intelligent?"
Earlier, in the underground cave and during the surface clearing, the demon beasts had repeatedly coalesced into a single entity, greatly enhancing their offensive and defensive capabilities.
However, those formations had always been spherical masses of flesh or quadrupedal beast forms. This was the first time they had manifested a humanoid shape.
Without a doubt, the demon beasts had observed the cultivators and mimicked their form.
The fact that they could so quickly grasp the immense advantages of a humanoid structure from such brief exposure demonstrated their remarkable intelligence.
"That’s not quite right!"
Yuanrong gazed at the thousand-zhang Demon Beast in the distance, his expression growing serious.
"Based on my observations, low-tier demon beasts possess little intelligence. They likely only develop sentience at the fifth-tier or higher. Truly intelligent ones must be at least seventh-tier demonic beasts. Moreover, the size of these Demon Beasts formed from coalesced demon beasts isn’t arbitrary; it’s closely tied to the strength of the core, dominant demon beast. This Demon Beast stands a thousand zhang tall, meaning the dominant demon beast within it must be at least seventh-tier, if not higher."
As Yuanrong spoke, his hands continued to weave the Sword Incantation.
Nine flying swords aligned into a single line, hurtling toward the colossal Demon Beast in the distance.
"Are you saying there’s an eighth-tier demonic beast among them?" Daoist Monarch Yongcheng asked, his expression a mix of shock and doubt.
"That seems likely," Yuanrong replied with a slight nod.
Meanwhile, the colossal Demon Beast, having fully coalesced, didn’t remain rooted in place. Instead, it took massive strides, charging toward the group.
Clearly, these demon beasts weren’t merely seeking self-preservation; they intended to slaughter the intruders who had invaded their territory.
Each step of the colossal Demon Beast spanned several mountain peaks, its speed astonishing.
As the nine flying swords drew closer, the Demon Beast raised its massive hands high and slammed them down with earth-shattering force.
The nine flying swords were instantly swatted away, shattering several mountains.
A green blood mist erupted from the giant Demon Beast’s hands, and countless spider-bodied, human-headed demon beasts rained down, already dead.
The Demon Beast’s hands visibly shrank.
Yet from the ground, endless spider-bodied, human-headed demon beasts swarmed up its body, rapidly restoring its mangled hands to their original state.
"Not bad for a beast! But a beast is still a beast. How can flesh and blood withstand the might of my sword?" Yuanrong declared.
His hands flashed through a series of seals, and the nine flying swords regrouped, surging toward the giant Demon Beast once more.
"Fellow Daoist Yuanrong, I’ll assist you," Daoist Monarch Yongcheng suddenly announced. The banner above his head billowed, unleashing countless azure blades in a torrent that crashed against the Demon Beast’s legs. His intent was clear: to cripple the creature’s mobility, trapping it in place.
"You juniors, quickly clear the demon beasts from the ground!" Daoist Monarch Yongcheng barked, never forgetting to issue orders.
The colossal demon beast was composed of spider-bodied, human-headed demon beasts. If the ground-based demon beasts weren’t eliminated, the colossal demon beast could rapidly regenerate, no matter how severely damaged.
The combined assault of Daoist Monarch Yongcheng and Yuanrong achieved remarkable results.
First, the azure torrent successfully crushed the colossal demon beast’s legs.
The colossal demon beast crashed to the ground with a thunderous roar.
Next, nine flying swords pierced through the air, targeting the demon beast’s abdomen.
The abdomen, the central part of its body, was the most likely location of the core demon beast controlling the entire entity.
However, the demon beasts covering the colossal demon beast suddenly surged, thickening the abdomen into a formidable protective shield.
The nine flying swords slaughtered hundreds of demon beasts, blasting a deep crater into the colossal demon beast’s abdomen, but still failed to reveal the core demon beast.
Yuanrong and Daoist Monarch Yongcheng were about to press their advantage and completely eliminate the colossal demon beast when—
"Roar! Roar! Roar..."
Several bestial roars echoed from different directions.
The group turned to follow the sounds, only to discover three more colossal demon beasts, each thousands of feet tall, converging from separate directions!
