However, everyone's expression changed very quickly.
The reason for that was because a Star Beast that was even larger than the Star Beast had suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The Star Beast did not move. It just stood there, which was why there was no sound.
However, it happened to be facing the direction of Ziyue and the rest. Hence, it saw their tracks immediately.
Hence!
"Roar!"
An earth-shattering roar could be heard.
Formless sound waves spread out like the rumbling of thunder.
Then, the Star Beast suddenly lowered its body and exerted force on its hind legs to dash out.
Boom!
A large part of the ground collapsed. However, the Star Beast still managed to dash high up in the air under eighty times the gravity. Like a flash of lightning, it dashed in front of Ziyue and the rest.
"Oh no, kill!"
The Nine Extremes Sword King was also a very decisive person. Seeing this, he was shocked and did not dare to hesitate. He stretched out his hand.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh …
The flying sword in his body shot out and instantly transformed into nine rays of sword light.
The nine rays of sword light were either unparalleled in attack or unstoppable in sharpness. Some could be used to defend and some could be used to trap the enemy … Every sword contained endless mystery as if it was the manifestation of all Sword Celestial techniques.
However, in the end, the rays of sword light merged into one in an instant and turned into a pitch-black longsword.
The longsword flashed and slashed the Star Beast at an extremely fast speed.
Dao Technique!
Nine Extremes Divine Sword!
Poof!
A wound that could almost split the Star Beast in half appeared.
However, this Star Beast was a Level Four Star Beast. It was even bigger than the previous one. Naturally, it was stronger as well. It had the fighting power of a King-Ranked Star Beast.
Moreover, the Star Beast was always under the influence of gravity. Hence, its physical defense was the strongest.
The tempering of his flesh and blood had already reached an extremely profound level.
Hence, although Zhang Dongsheng's sword had severely injured it, it did not completely lose its combat power.
Starlight flashed across its body. It stretched out its claws and a special ray of starlight gathered. Then, it slapped forward violently.
Boom boom boom!
The void shook. In an instant, it tore apart the Territory that many Golden Core Realm experts had cast on it. The starlight then quickly crushed the Golden Core Realm experts in front of it.
"Humph, you're courting death!"
Jiu Jue Sword King snorted coldly. His body turned and shot. While avoiding the crushing starlight, he quickly approached the star beast. Dao technique Jiu Jue Sword Technique was used again.
This time, the sword light slashed down and landed directly on its head, following the wound from before.
Puff!
The class 4 starbeast was instantly cut into two halves.
Bang!
Then, he fell to the ground with a loud thud.
Dead!
However, at the same time, the opponent's starlight crushed down. Since no one was blocking it, it went straight for True Lord Push Sword and True Lord Drizzle.
The two of them were well aware of how terrifying a grade-4 astral beast was. Even the weakest one was comparable to a peak Golden Core cultivator, while the strongest was comparable to a Regal cultivator or a half-step Essence Soul cultivator.
Therefore, when they sensed the starlight crushing towards them, they almost immediately fled to the sides.
However, the speed of the starlight was too fast. The two of them did not have enough time to completely avoid it. They could only see the starlight coming down on them.
He hurriedly exerted his full strength.
Among them, True Immortal Pushing Sword took out a mid-grade Golden Core defensive treasure.
The defensive power of a mid-grade Golden Core defensive treasure was already very strong.
However, under the crushing starlight, it only froze slightly and then dimmed. Then, it quickly shattered.
The power of the starlight was too strong. It had already reached the first level of the peak Golden Core cultivator and was actually only one step away from becoming a Regal cultivator.
However, during this period of time, Immortal Pushing Sword hurriedly performed the Soul Burning Technique and pushed it with the Elixir Essence of the Second-grade Gold Core in his body. His speed was amazing, and he barely escaped the impact of the nebula.
True Lord Drizzle was also decisive. While she took out a shield, she also pasted a fourth-grade defensive spiritual talisman and a fourth-grade speed spiritual talisman on her body. In addition, her Immortal Technique realm had already reached the Middle-stage Golden Core cultivator.
Her speed was actually a little faster than True Lord Push Sword.
However, he was too far away from the edge. Moreover, there was not enough time. Therefore, a ray of starlight still crushed his protective spiritual light and rolled up one of his feet.
After the starlight rolled up his foot, it turned into powder almost instantly.
At the same time …
There was also a strange and tyrannical power that extended from his feet upwards, continuously destroying his thighs. Almost in an instant, pieces of flesh and blood were turned into fine powder.
By the time he came to his senses, one of his legs had been ground into nothing.
The pain of constantly grinding flesh and blood made True Lord Drizzle, who had reached the Middle-stage Golden Core cultivator and had experienced all kinds of hardships, cry out in pain.
However, True Lord Drizzle was able to reach the Golden Core Realm because of his incredible willpower and endurance. He was also very decisive.
Enduring the pain, he waved his hand and directly cut off his thigh.
After the force crushed the remaining flesh and blood, it immediately dissipated in the void.
True Lord Drizzle also managed to keep his life after losing one of his legs.
"Huff, huff …"
After escaping, True Lord Drizzle could not help but heave a long sigh of relief. However, his expression was extremely unpleasant.
Whether a Golden Core cultivator's body was intact or not had a great impact on their combat strength.
This was because all kinds of Immortal Techniques and Grand Divine Abilities had to be activated by the ignited acupoints in various parts of the body.
Without the enhancement of the acupoints, the cultivator's strength would drop significantly.
His combat strength was not considered outstanding among the cultivators. Now that his strength had dropped significantly, the danger he faced in the third floor was a few times higher than before.
Most importantly, this time, he could have avoided it.
Because in his direction, there was the Nine Extinction Sword King, Zhang Dongsheng.
If Zhang Dongsheng had stepped in and blocked the Star Beast's attack for them, they would not have ended up in such a miserable state and suffered heavy injuries.
However, the Sword King immediately dodged the attack when they were in danger, allowing the Star Beast's attack to land on them.
So what if the Star Beast had killed the Star Beast in the first place?
His combat strength was already affected.
Therefore, he was holding a grudge in his heart.
Not only him, Perfected Cultivator Push Sword and the other cultivators who were watching the battle were having a strange feeling too.
As experts, they felt extremely uncomfortable when they did not protect the people around them and allowed their combat strength to be damaged.
It was as if they were dispensable in the eyes of the Star Beast.
"Be careful, let's continue."
Zhang Dongsheng frowned and glanced at True Lord Xi Yu. He waved his hand and kept the level-four Star Beast's corpse before continuing to rush forward.
"Let's go. Danger will descend at any time on the third floor.
The most important thing is to be careful.
It's better to rely on ourselves than on others. "
Perfected Lord Drunken Beard also glanced at Perfected Lord Drizzle and said as if he was implying something. Then, he followed.
Although the others were a little uncomfortable, they did not dare to say anything.
The rest of the formation was relatively smooth.
Although there would be level-four Star Beasts on the third floor because of the Star Origin Sacred Mountain's riot, most of them were level-three Star Beasts.
The level-three Star Beasts were relatively less of a threat to them.
Even if they occasionally encountered level-three Star Beasts that were comparable to late-stage Golden Core Realm cultivators, True Lord Sky Sword, True Lord Ju Jue, Daoist Drunken Beard, or two or three early-stage or mid-stage Golden Core Realm cultivators could easily deal with them.
Therefore, the group gradually went deeper.
Ziyue was in the middle of the group and his performance was inconspicuous.
Occasionally, he would make a move, but his combat strength was only comparable to a third-tier mid-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator.
At this moment, he was observing and also searching.
"I once obtained a map of the place where the King-Ranked expert, the King of Magnetism, died from Wang Weizhen.
According to the map, the place where the King-Ranked expert died was on the third floor.
However, it was actually in a hidden space on the third floor that would only open when the Star Origin Sacred Mountain was in a riot.
I have to find the entrance to the hidden space first before I can enter it and see if I can find the King-Ranked expert's corpse. Then, I can take the opportunity to obtain the Dao technique inheritance from him. "
Ziyue continued forward and compared the complete map of the third floor he obtained from the Nine Star Dao Palace. His eyes gradually became clearer.
Although the surrounding environment had changed to a certain extent due to the Astral Origin Sacred Mountain's riot, he had already determined where he was and roughly estimated the location of the spatial entrance where King Magneto had hidden himself when he died.
"About three hundred miles ahead is the entrance to the space tunnel.
A hundred miles to the west is the space tunnel to the fourth floor of the Star Origin Sacred Mountain. "
As he muttered to himself, Ziyue's gaze landed on the Nine Absolutes Sword King, Zhang Dongsheng.
Throughout the journey, he had a faint ominous feeling in his heart from the attitude of the other party, Perfected Lord Sky Sword, Perfected Lord Ju Jue, and the other Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples.
"They actually don't care about our life and death.
They seem to be very casual.
This is not a problem. Immortal Dao cultivators always put their own interests first.
However, since they still need us to help them search for the Sky Wielding Bottle left behind by the previous generation's eldest disciple, logically speaking, they should try their best to protect our safety.
However, in reality, when Perfected Lord Drizzle and Perfected Lord Push Sword were in danger, the other party seemed indifferent … "
Ziyue pondered, and a layer of vigilance instantly appeared in his heart.
The others were clearly aware of this. Unknowingly, they formed an invisible tacit understanding.
It was precisely under such circumstances that the group of people flew with extreme caution.
Half an hour later.
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
"Huff huff … We finally avoided it.
The two level-4 star beasts were only a thousand meters apart. If Perfected Lord Five-Kill had not discovered the second level-4 star beast in advance, we would have been unable to avoid a bloody battle. "
A Golden Core powerhouse could not help but look at Ziyue in front of him.
The group had originally discovered a level-4 star beast. As it was on the path that they had to pass, they naturally wanted to kill it directly.
After all, level-4 star beasts were not only powerful in battle, but their flesh and scales were also precious treasures.
This time, regardless of anything else, the many cultivators definitely gained a lot in this aspect.
A cultivator named Perfected Lord Clear Spring was even lucky enough to discover a Dao Flower. Then, he put it into his storage bag without hesitation.
The Dao Flower was a treasure that could help a cultivator open more than ten acupoints at the Golden Core realm. Its value was limitless.
Just this point alone made that cultivator's trip worthwhile.
Although many cultivators saw this, they did not say anything although they were envious.
Fortuitous opportunities depended on one's ability.
The group of people, including the powerhouses of the Celestialspirit Sect, did not dare to snatch it.
However, just as they were about to do so, Ziyue suddenly reminded them that there was another level-4 star beast in front of them.
After carefully inspecting the area, the cultivators gave up on attacking and took a detour to avoid them.
However, while this Golden Core cultivator was sighing, he did not notice that a half-meter long green snake-shaped star beast the size of a thumb was curled up on a leaf below him.
Its body color matched the leaf, and it deliberately concealed its aura. Under the situation where the cultivators were flying at high speed and did not use their Divine Consciousness, they could not detect it at all.
However, this green snake-shaped star beast's eyes were deep and there was a trace of red in the depths. It stared at the cultivator who flew over its head.
Whoosh!
In an instant.
Like lightning, it pierced through the sky.
The snake-shaped star beast directly shot towards that cultivator. It opened its mouth wide and instantly swelled up thousands of times, swallowing that cultivator in one gulp.
The power in its body surged and there was a special sealing power. That cultivator did not have time to react before he was directly torn to pieces by its teeth, pierced by its tongue, and corroded by its stomach juice …
"Oh no!"
"What a cunning star beast."
The group of people turned pale with fright. Then, they attacked one after another without hesitation.
In an instant, this level-3 star beast that was comparable to a middle-stage Golden Core realm cultivator was killed.
However, Ziyue sighed softly in his heart.
Because when they killed this star beast, he clearly sensed that there was a value of nearly ten million spirit energy flashing on his attribute panel.
Obviously, that cultivator in the early-stage Golden Core realm had died.
This was also the first cultivator in their group to die.
The group of people's faces immediately turned very ugly.
Even Ziyue was the same.
He was in front and did not pass by the snake-shaped star beast.
However, he was unable to discover any traces of the Star Beast even though it was several thousand meters away. This showed how powerful this Star Beast was.
There were definitely many such dangers in the Star Origin Sacred Mountain.
He had to be vigilant.
"Be careful.
Although these star beasts do not have intelligence, their hunting instincts are still there.
There are more than one or two star beasts that have shrunk their bodies and are hiding in the surroundings. We have to be careful and not be careless. "
Perfected Cultivator Zui Hu reminded with a serious face.
"It's indeed too sudden."
"We have to be careful."
"It's impossible to guard against it if it doesn't release its Divine Consciousness and Domain."
The group of cultivators naturally knew the severity of the situation, but their hearts were heavy.
