"What is a Meta Beast?"
Yang Tian frowned and asked calmly.
Zhi Mi said, "The Meta Beast is a ferocious beast that was sealed in this land many years ago before the Everlasting Temple existed.
Other than some old people, only the Temple Masters of the three temples know about this. "
As soon as Zhi Mi finished speaking, the red-robed old man called Elder Yan quickly walked forward. He said as he walked, "There's no time to talk nonsense here. If the Meta Beast awakens, we'll all die together!"
After Elder Flame finished speaking, he turned into a red light and disappeared from Yang Tian's sight.
"The Meta Beast has the ability to devour everything and reproduce infinitely. Back then, more than half of the cultivators in this world died before it fell into a deep slumber …"
Yang Tian was about to go after Elder Flame when Zhi Mi's voice came from behind him.
What Zhi Mi said was something that Yang Tian was extremely interested in. Yang Tian couldn't help but stop.
But halfway through Zhi Mi's words, a green light suddenly shot out from Zhi Mi's sleeve and attacked Yang Tian's back.
Although Zhi Mi had turned into a woman and was injured, Yang Tian did not let his guard down when he saw her lying on the ground looking weak and delicate.
"Clang ~"
Yang Tian swung his blade and slapped the green light away.
The green light stabbed into the cave wall. It turned out to be a three-inch-long green nail that looked like a hairpin.
Seeing Yang Tian knock her nail away, Zhi Mi jumped up from the ground and pounced at Yang Tian with a short blade.
"Pfft ~"
However, Zhi Mi took the initiative to collide with the blue saber in Yang Tian's hand and was pierced through.
The blue blade carried Yang Tian's Force and instantly entered Zhi Mi's body through the blade, wantonly destroying her cells.
Zhi Mi didn't circulate the energy in her body to stop the Force from destroying her body.
Zhi Mi fell into Yang Tian's arms and was embraced by Yang Tian. He smiled bitterly and said, "Why are you doing this?
I don't have to kill you. "
Zhi Mi leaned on Yang Tian's shoulder and chuckled beside Yang Tian. Finally, she said, "I don't have my brother anymore, I … don't want to live anymore … I don't feel humiliated to die in your hands …"
With that said, Zhi Mi closed her eyes. Her dead body could no longer protect her spirit body.
When her spirit body left her body, it dissipated in an instant.
Yang Tian sighed and pulled out the knife from Zhi Mi's body that was beginning to 'melt'. He turned around resolutely and went to look for Yu Gui.
Yang Tian could let Zhi Mi go, but he would never let Yu Gui go!
…
The large cave was filled with stinking green mucus. It was unknown what kind of creature had secreted it, but the deeper they went, the more mucus there was and the more disgusting it looked. This made Yang Tian and the Little Blue Dragon have the urge to burn this place down.
In a corner of the cave, there was a green ball several meters in diameter that was squirming continuously. The green mucus was secreted by it.
Actually, if one used a microscope to observe the green mucus, they would find that it was actually made up of a transparent mucus and countless small green plants.
At this moment, Yu Gui was standing three meters away from this ball of flesh.
Yu Gui took out a short blade as he looked at the wriggling green meatball. Immediately, he rubbed his left hand and stuck some Blood Qi onto the short blade.
After the smell of blood spread out, the green ball of flesh squirmed even faster, like a nervous heart beating faster.
A series of thumping sounds rang out.
Yu Gui raised the dagger stained with blood and was about to stab at the ball of flesh.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out.
Elder Yan appeared.
Yu Gui turned around and looked at Elder Yan coldly.
Yu Gui thought that the one who appeared here would be Yang Tian. He did not expect it to be Elder Yan.
"Yu Gui, you should not do this." Elder Yan looked at Yu Gui and frowned. "If you let the Meta Beast out, you know the consequences."
However, Yu Gui sneered. "I have already thought of the consequences. Hehe!
Even if I die, I will not let you have it easy!
All of you, die with me! "
After he finished speaking, Yu Gui turned around and used all his strength to slash at the green ball of flesh.
Outside the green ball of flesh, there was a layer of rune energy. Originally, the entire cave was covered by rune energy. Even a Soul Travel Realm expert would have a hard time breaking in.
Time would wear everything away. After a long time, the rune array in the cave was not maintained by anyone. With the corrosion of the green mucus, the rune array's energy was very weak.
Along with the rune array's energy, the Meta Beast was also weakened.
If no one came to interfere, it wouldn't take long before the Origin Beast died in its slumber.
But at the last moment, Yu Gui came …
"Pfff!"
There was a muffled sound.
Elder Yan did not expect Yu Gui to suddenly make a move. He could not stop him in time. He saw Yu Gui's short blade break through the rune array and pierce into the green ball of flesh.
When Elder Yan saw this, his eyes widened. His face was filled with shock and despair.
Although he did not see the terror of the Meta Beast with his own eyes, Elder Yan had seen the murals that depicted the real situation.
At this time, the scene depicted on the murals became a real scene in his mind.
This world … was finished!
At this time, Yang Tian arrived!
Without thinking, Yang Tian raised his saber and slashed at the green sphere. An invisible saber energy enveloped Yu Guidu.
Yu Gui looked at Yang Tian. He maintained a cold and mocking smile on his face. Facing Yang Tian's blade, he did not even dodge.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound. Yu Gui was slashed by Yang Tian's Blade Qi and slammed into the stone wall. His body actually sank into the green mucus.
Under Yang Tian's attack, the green ball of flesh also exploded with a "bang".
A purple creature in the shape of a turtle shell appeared in front of Yang Tian.
As soon as this mutated beast appeared, it let out a roar.
When Elder Yan heard the roar, he was shocked. He raised his hand and a scorching flame shot out from between his hands. Instantly, it enveloped the mutated beast that was only a few meters in diameter and did not seem to be a threat.
This was Elder Yan's instinctive reaction. But when he saw the Meta Beast that was enveloped by the red flames, he regretted it.
Because this mutated beast's uniqueness was that it could absorb all kinds of energy. The more energy it absorbed, the faster it would grow, and the more threatening it would be.
Creatures like Meta Beasts shouldn't exist in this world at all. They were created to destroy this world.
Just as Elder Yan expected, the red flames quickly disappeared from the Meta Beast's body.
The flames that could kill a Hundred Transformations Realm cultivator had become the Meta Beast's "nourishment." After the flames disappeared, its body began to grow rapidly. In just a few breaths, its body had reached a diameter of 10 meters.
Not only did it grow in size, hundreds of purple tentacles as thick as an adult's arm grew out from its body. At the tip of the tentacles was a ball of flesh the size of a soccer ball.
As soon as these balls of flesh grew out, they began to absorb the energy in the air.
"Hahaha …"
At this time, Yu Gui broke free from the green mucus and laughed like a madman.
"Whoosh ~"
His laughter did not last for long as the Meta Beast that was very close to him extended a tentacle. The ball at the tip of the tentacle clasped onto his head and stopped his laughter.
Logically speaking, even if Yu Gui was injured by Yang Tian, it should be easy for him to dodge the Meta Beast's attack!
But Yu Gui did not dodge and allowed the Meta Beast to attack him.
That was the truth. Yu Gui, who knew that he was going to die, hated Yang Tian to the core. In order for the Meta Beast to grow faster, he planned to become the Meta Beast's sacrifice!
After the ball of flesh at the tip of the Meta Beast's tentacle covered Kuang Xing's head, there were countless purple lines that went into Yu Gui's body. It looked like Yu Gui's blood vessels were bursting out.
The energy in Yu Gui's body was quickly being absorbed by the Meta Beast.
Not only the energy in his body, even the energy in Yu Gui's energy world was being absorbed by the Meta Beast using a special method.
After receiving Yu Gui's energy, the Meta Beast's body began to grow rapidly.
Seeing this, Yang Tian became even more disgusted with Yu Gui.
How sick was this guy's mind to be able to do such a crazy and disgusting thing?
If it were Yang Tian, even if he hated his opponent, he would have died a clean death instead of being eaten by such an ugly beast.
In just a few breaths, all the energy in Yu Gui's body was sucked dry. There was nothing left of him.
Slash ~
Yang Tian knew that he could not wait any longer. He raised his hand and slashed at the Meta Beast again.
The invisible Sword Qi instantly touched the Meta Beast's body.
Something that surprised Yang Tian happened.
When the powerful Sword Qi touched the Meta Beast's body, it was like water hitting a piece of cloth. The Meta Beast's body that was hit caved in. Then, it bounced back.
How tough did the Meta Beast have to be to be able to dissolve and even absorb the power of the slash?
"Roar ~"
Although it was not hurt by Yang Tian's slash, the Meta Beast was still angry. It let out a roar that sounded like it was coming from a drum. Then, several tentacles came out from its body and attacked Yang Tian.
At this moment, Yang Tian finally knew how terrifying the Meta Beast was.
The tentacles did not look fast, but they made him feel like he could not dodge them. He wanted to dodge them, but he felt powerless. It was as if he could not exert any energy in his body.
Yang Tian did not have the time to think about why this happened. He opened his eyes wide and let out a furious roar as a powerful mental power burst out.
Finally, before the flesh tentacles could reach him, Yang Tian dodged to the side and slashed furiously with his saber, severing the five flesh tentacles that were attacking him.
"You can't cut it …"
At this moment, Yang Tian finally heard Elder Yan's reminder.
'Why can't I cut it?'
Just as Yang Tian was wondering, the Meta Beast's tentacles shrunk back. The parts that were cut off instantly recovered.
The five tentacles that fell on the ground started to wriggle. Soon, they turned into five small Meta Beasts.
The Little Blue Dragon, which had been coiled on Yang Tian's shoulder, could not stand it anymore. It left Yang Tian's shoulder, opened its mouth and spat out a dragon flame at the five small Meta Beasts.
The golden dragon flame engulfed the five Meta Beasts that were less than a meter in diameter.
The temperature of the dragon flame was much higher than Elder Yan's flames. However, just like Elder Yan's red flames, the golden dragon flame was quickly absorbed by the five small Meta Beasts.
After absorbing the energy of the dragon flame, the five small Meta Beasts' bodies instantly grew bigger.
The Little Blue Dragon did not give up. It shot out an electric current and hit one of the small Meta Beasts.
However, the electric current was still absorbed when it landed on the Meta Beast. Not only did it not hurt it, but it also sped up its growth.
What was this thing made of?
It was so powerful. It was simply unkillable!
Yang Tian kept retreating and distanced himself from the five small Meta Beasts.
"Sigh ~"
Just then, Elder Yan sighed helplessly.
Yang Tian turned to look at Elder Yan and asked, "How did you seal this Meta Beast back then?"
Although they were enemies before, Elder Yan was no longer hostile towards Yang Tian now that they had a common enemy in the form of the Meta Beasts. He looked at Yang Tian and said, "Meta Beasts cannot be killed.
Back then, there were countless Meta Beasts. There was a Beast King, which was the one that Yu Gui had just released.
This Beast King controlled countless small Meta Beasts and rampaged through the sea of stars. Wherever it went, it would turn into a dead zone. There would not be any life left.
Until one day, it appeared at the outskirts of this piece of land.
Billions of cultivators engaged in an extremely long battle with the Meta Beasts.
Back then, when the seniors were fighting with the Meta Beasts, they realized that the Meta Beasts could not be killed. This was because they did not have a spiritual body. Their bodies were extremely resistant to energy. No matter what kind of energy it was, even space energy, it could not hurt them. Instead, it could be absorbed by them.
However many pieces of their bodies were cut into, there would be many new small Meta Beasts.
After that … "
At this point, Elder Yan stopped. That was because the Meta Beast's body had doubled in size. The spacious cave was unable to hold it anymore, and it was trying to crawl out.
A series of rumbling noises could be heard.
"What happened after that?"
Yang Tian asked as he retreated.
It would be great if the Force could kill this Meta Beast. However, the Force in the Blade Qi did not seem to have any effect on the Meta Beast.
"After that, I don't know." Elder Yan said, "Too much time has passed. The murals that depicted the battle are missing.
I think it must have been those Gods from the God Realm who made the move … "
"Hahaha …"
Before Elder Yan could finish, a loud laugh was heard.
Yang Tian was very familiar with this laugh. This was because the one who laughed was the Talisman Master.
The Talisman Master, who had disappeared, had actually appeared at this moment!
At the same time as the Talisman Master's voice, powerful and chaotic runic energy waves appeared. This caused the strange program to be unable to calculate the Talisman Master's exact location in a short period of time.
After the laughter, the Talisman Master said, "Meta Beasts are not naturally born. They are man-made.
The person who created them is a genius, a genius like me.
He eliminated all the flaws of the Meta Beasts … The only thing that can control Meta Beasts is a spiritual body, a powerful spiritual body! "
