The Master of Beasts-Chapter 573 - 144:

"Boom Rumble"

The dark yellow fur occasionally appeared and disappeared under the assault of the sandstorm, and the towering figure of a hundred feet exerted intense pressure.

The exposed fangs reflected a chilling light under the sun, and the thick arms each held a hundred-foot Big Axe.

The unique sense of oppression belonging to a Heavenly Immortal caused cold sweat to trickle down the faces of the two Thunder God Temple disciples in front of him.

"Damn it, why does a low rank Spiritual Beast like the Sand Ape reach the Heavenly Immortal level?" Xu Chong shouted in despair.

The Big Axe, like a Giant Divine Weapon, swept across, and the other Thunder God Temple disciple, Gan Yuan, gathered a layer of Thunderbolt armor all over his body, forcibly using his body to block the Big Axe, retreating continuously.

The powerful friction instantly evaporated the sand on the ground. Gan Yuan shouted: "Stop complaining and think of something! This beast’s axe is actually a Seventh Revolutions Immortal Weapon!"

Gan Yuan’s face was full of ferocity and envy, a Seventh Revolutions Immortal Weapon; as an elite disciple of the Thunder God Temple, he only had a Thunder God Pearl of the Sixth Revolutions Immortal Weapon level, yet this beast had two Seventh Revolutions Immortal Weapons, utterly damnable!

The Sand Ape King retracted the Big Axe, letting out a loud snort from its nose, and eight sand ape figures began to appear around, each only about fifty feet tall, but their cultivation level surprisingly reached One Flower Heavenly Immortal!

"Children, kill!"

At the order of the Sand Ape King, the remaining eight Heavenly Immortal-level sand apes charged grimly with their One and Second Revolutions low-rank Immortal Weapons.

In a short while, only two battered corpses remained on the sandy ground, their faces marked with unwillingness and despair.

"Great King, Great King," a rather clever sand ape presented a Thunder God Pearl of the Sixth Revolutions Immortal Weapon level as if offering treasure.

The Sand Ape King glanced dismissively and swung the Big Axe mightily: "This is what I call a weapon, that little thing, I’ll give it to you!"

"Thank you, Great King, thank you! Great King, what should we do next?" The sand ape kowtowed in thanks.

"What to do? Of course, kill those reckless fools!" The Sand Ape King’s large eyes glared murderously.

The Sand Ape King was one of the Spiritual Beasts bred by Chen Jiuge; its bloodline wasn’t high, initially only having a True Immortal cultivation, the lowest rank after breeding.

However, it had great luck, once accidentally entering a piece of space fragment, and reappearing as a Heavenly Immortal, with the cultivation of a Two Flowers Celestial Immortal, and with a group of powerful sand apes under its command, becoming one of the most powerful Spiritual Beasts under Chen Jiuge.

.....

On another side, the Sandstorm Scorpion King also encountered the disciples of the Thunder God Temple.

"Crash Boom"

With the fall of a violent thunderbolt, tens of thousands of Storm Scorpions perished, yet in the blink of an eye, the scorpion horde mended the breach.

Yun Ze showed impatience on his face; as a well-connected elite disciple of the Thunder God Temple, not only was his cultivation at the level of a Two Flowers Heavenly Immortal, but his Immortal Weapons were all at the level of Seventh Revolutions Immortal Weapons. Dealing with these scorpion Spiritual Beasts, of which even True Immortals were few, was as simple as chopping down melons.

"Why are there so many of these beasts?"

After wiping out a large scorpion swarm again, Yun Ze rose into the air, intending to cleave through these creatures, as dealing with Spiritual Beasts wasn’t his task.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, a pitch-black brilliance attacked Yun Ze’s back, and a purple shield flickered on the surface of Yun Ze’s body, his Protective Immortal Weapon at a Seventh Revolutions level.

In cold sweat from the fright, Yun Ze, his face ashen, produced a Big Spear: "Spiritual Beast territory, it truly is ruled by Spiritual Beasts!"

Yun Ze’s family’s strength was impressive, and this mission was meant for garnering merit, yet he almost met with an accident just now.

The Storm Scorpions, being named after storms, naturally could also fly.

Only hovering in the air for a moment, Yun Ze once again found himself embarrassingly surrounded by the scorpion horde.

The Sandstorm Scorpion King, hidden in the void, grumbled regretfully: "Just a bit more, if I had the Sand Ape King’s Immortal Weapon, that attack would’ve at least seriously injured him, if not killed him."

After a brief complaint, the Sandstorm Scorpion King once again concealed itself in the void, waiting for the next opportunity.

....

One Heavenly Immortal-level Spiritual Beast after another launched attacks against the scattered Thunder God Temple disciples. Most of these Spiritual Beasts belonged to tribes, and with the assistance of several low-intelligence Heavenly Immortal Spiritual Beasts, it plunged the disciples of the Thunder God Temple into dire straits.

Ye Cheng, who had been motionless on the edge of the defense zone, looked at the list of names of disciples on the mission floating in front of him, and slowly, the smile on his face disappeared.

"Interesting, interesting, eighty Heavenly Immortals, and in just one day, half of them are dead."

"Let me personally witness this person’s methods."

"Crash"

Dark red thunderbolts formed a pair of blood-red wings behind Ye Cheng. With a slight move, Ye Cheng swiftly vanished into the sandstorm.

"Hiss Hiss"

Two three-tailed sand cats, resembling enlarged macaques, continually interwove, leaving one wound after another on the besieged Thunder God Temple disciples.

"Hiss Hiss"

After licking the blood on their claws, the vertical pupils of the two three-tailed sand cats grew more murderous. High-cultivation cultivators’ flesh and blood were prized supplements for Spiritual Beasts, especially for body refinement cultivators.

"I am doomed," the Thunder God Temple disciple wailed internally, giving up on resistance.

The armor Immortal Weapon on his body was broken, a third of his blood had drained, and eighty percent of his immortal power was spent. He couldn’t even touch the two Spiritual Beasts in front of him, not to mention killing them, feeling utterly hopeless!
