Back when he’d approached Chaos, he had sensed something strange from the Battle Spirit Stele. He never expected this Human Race Sacred Artifact could actually control Chaos.

However, the Battle Spirit Stele didn’t have any Summoning Skills.

Fortunately, Chaos happened to be nearby, which was undoubtedly good news.

Jiang Zuo then used another Jin Person to block an attack, but this time, he rode the momentum of being blasted away to fly directly toward Chaos.

Meanwhile, Jingyue had also killed several Demon Cultivators.

Zi Feng and Lan Yue both had minor injuries.

Zi Feng and Lan Yue were now emitting identical auras. All seven members of their sect grew stronger the more of them fought together.

When the two of them joined forces, fighting opponents of a higher tier was not an issue.

Zi Feng asked Jingyue, "Are you guys okay?"

Jingyue shook her head. "Jiu Xi has passed out, but it has nothing to do with these people. It was for her own reasons."

Su Qi’s calamitous luck had flared up too intensely. She would only be a liability if she were awake.

So, Jingyue had knocked her out cold. She had to get this little ball of misfortune back home; then the problem should mostly be solved.

Her husband’s luck must be unbelievably good.

"The situation in the sky has changed," Zi Feng said abruptly.

Indeed, Jian Shisan’s aura had vanished. All that remained was the snow-filled sky and the four Jin People that had suddenly appeared.

"Jin People? They look a lot like the ones from the Holy Land," Jingyue remarked, glancing up.

They were similar, yet completely different.

Just then, Jingyue exclaimed in surprise, "A Jin Person is headed this way!"

Zi Feng immediately shouted, "Fall back!"

No one was a fool. The opponent was on a level far beyond their own. If they clashed, there wouldn’t be the slightest chance of survival.

Jingyue spoke directly to Chaos, "Get us out of here."

However, Chaos, which should have obeyed, simply stood there, stunned.

It faced the direction of the Jin Person, its expression one of terror.

Yes, Jingyue could sense it—true, genuine fear.

This shocked Jingyue even more. ’Chaos is actually... afraid?’

One had to remember that Chaos was an Ancient Fierce Beast of absurdly high power. Why would it be so terrified of a single Jin Person?

It didn’t even have the slightest thought of resisting.

Without hesitation, Zi Feng took out a Protective Treasure and crushed it, instantly enveloping everyone in its light.

"This won’t last long," Zi Feng said. "The rest is up to luck."

By then, the Jin Person had already arrived. It was too late to even think about escaping.

The moment the Jin Person arrived, Chaos prostrated itself before it.

Jiang Zuo was actually a bit surprised to see Chaos submit. The Battle Spirit Stele was even more special than he had anticipated.

By this time, the old man had also arrived on the scene.

Jiang Zuo leaped out and had the Jin Person self-destruct to block the old man.

BOOM! The immense explosion obliterated everything in the vicinity. Had the old man not absorbed most of the force, it was hard to say if anything would have been left.

The Jin Person’s self-destruction also tore a hole in the Immortal Slaying Array.

Jingyue and her group, however, were unharmed. When they looked up, they saw the colossal form of Chaos shielding them.

An indistinct figure looked down upon them from a high vantage point.

Jingyue wondered if she was imagining it, but she somehow knew the figure was looking at Su Qi.

Su Qi was still unconscious.

She looked peaceful.

For a moment, Jingyue felt a tremor run through her mind. She blurted out instinctively, "My junior sister is just asleep. She’s not seriously hurt."

The figure had no reaction, showed no sign of anything unusual, and simply turned away casually.

Seeing this, Jingyue couldn’t believe the thought that had just crossed her mind.

That’s right. The thought she’d just had was, ’Could this person be my sister’s husband?’

But thinking about it now, it seemed too absurd. Even she couldn’t believe it.

’I was genuinely worried at first,’ Jiang Zuo thought. ’Covered in wounds and unconscious—how could I not be?’

’If Demon Cultivators had been the ones to injure her this badly, it would have set me off.’

’But why did Sister Jingyue feel the need to explain it to me?’

’Has she figured something out?’

Jiang Zuo didn’t dwell on it. He stepped onto Chaos and had it ascend into the sky.

Watching Chaos fly away, Jingyue was utterly baffled.

At first, Chaos had been terrified. But after this person’s arrival, although the beast was still afraid, it also showed a sliver of excitement.

Just then, Jingyue heard an ice-cold voice descend from the sky: "Crush them."

Jingyue was speechless.

Up above, the old man was furious. He glared at Jiang Zuo. "So, you’re the one who obtained Chaos. Must people from the Holy Land also hide their faces?"

Jiang Zuo asked curiously, "Since when has the Holy Land ever been noble and righteous?"

The old man was speechless.

"In my eyes, there’s no difference between a Daoist Cultivator and a Demon Cultivator. You’re allowed to steal things, but we aren’t? Besides, when did Chaos ever belong to you?"

"I seem to recall you saying you wouldn’t ask about items obtained inside the grotto-heaven, correct?"

"You..."

Jiang Zuo cut him off. "Enough nonsense. If you can defeat me, then Chaos will naturally be yours."

With that said, Jiang Zuo wasted no more words. Chaos erupted with its full might, and a boundless power enveloped everyone present.

The aura slowly grew tyrannical, then chaotic.

The old man’s eyes narrowed. The might of Chaos was more terrifying than he had anticipated.

Meanwhile, Jiang Zuo stood steadily atop Chaos, looking down on everyone with contempt.

"Crush them."

Instantly, Chaos moved.

An aura of chaos surged toward everyone.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

It was as if the entire Celestial Cloud Mountain Range was exploding.

The Immortal Slaying Array shattered instantly.

After the chaotic aura subsided, the figures of the old man, Leng Qi, and the others reappeared. All of them bore minor injuries.

Jiang Zuo, however, still stood firm atop Chaos, which was now radiating with a fierce battle lust.

The battle lust it radiated seemed capable of tearing the world asunder.

This was what a Fierce Beast should be. This was the savagery a Fierce Beast ought to possess.

Madness, chaos, brutality, bloodlust.

ROAR!

The roar of Chaos shook the heavens and the earth.

The next moment, it took the initiative and charged toward the old man and his companions.

BOOM!

The two sides clashed once more. Everyone was injured, and Chaos was no exception. But the beast didn’t seem to care in the slightest. As long as it wasn’t dead, its ferocity would not wane.

What gave it such courage?

It was the man standing on its head.

This human could make it incredibly excited, could make it defy death without fear, could drive it into an endless frenzy.

It would willingly offer up its very being.

At this moment, Chaos strode forward once more. It would crush them all.

"If you kill us, do you really think you can walk out of the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range alive?" Leng Qi said coldly.

Without a shred of hesitation, Jiang Zuo said one word: "Kill."

Chaos’s aura surged once again. But before it could reach them, a powerful, oppressive pressure began to descend upon it.

Then, a voice echoed from the sky, "Fellow Daoist, how about we let this matter rest?"

Hearing this voice, Leng Qi, the old man, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

But Jiang Zuo, taking advantage of the moment before the pressure fully descended, commanded Chaos to evade its area of effect. He then appeared beside Leng Qi and the old man and, without the slightest hesitation, had Chaos ram them with its full might.

The unexpected move stunned them for a fraction of a second, but they had no time to react.

BOOM!!!

Leng Qi and the old man were sent flying, gravely wounded. Whether they would live or die was uncertain.

Only then did Jiang Zuo reply, "Alright."
