Chapter 26: Seeking Mount 3
Immediately after Wei Shiyan uttered those words, a powerful shift occurred in the battlefield.
A chilling, suffocating killing intent suddenly locked onto him. This time, the beast wasted no breath, no roaring announcement of its wrath. Instead, it struck directly.
A monstrous soundwave attack erupted from its gaping maw, shattering the air as though thousands of bells had been struck at once, each vibration carrying destructive power. Almost simultaneously, its massive, reverberating scaly tail swept across the void.
The motion alone caused the surrounding sky to wail with crackling noises, tearing invisible scars into the atmosphere.
The already hellish zone—still bearing remnants of the earlier destruction caused by the lingering laws of the Heavenly Dao—grew even more chaotic. Shattered fragments of law energy twisted like broken glass in the void, threatening to slice apart anything reckless enough to approach.
Wei Shiyan felt the unrivaled force coming toward him and couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.
"As expected of a Beast God…" he said calmly, though his gaze sharpened like a blade.
Without hesitation, his Law Path Battle Form tightened, the manifestation of his comprehension fusing perfectly with his body. An unparalleled might seeped outward from him, radiating the aura of a Paragon, shaking heaven and earth.
He punched out.
This fist, simple in appearance, contained the profundity of endless comprehension. His strike effortlessly shattered the incoming soundwave attack, the ripples of destruction dissolving into nothingness before they could touch him. The punch then collided head-on with the incoming mountainous tail.
BOOM! BOOM!
For a split second, silence descended upon the battlefield.
A man's lone fist stood firmly embedded against the colossal, mountain-sized tail of the beast. The scene looked almost fictional, even comical—yet behind it was the unimaginable weight of two supreme forces clashing.
Then—
BOOOOOM!
The entire void convulsed. Wei Shiyan and the beast were both launched backward, blown apart by the sheer aftershock. The strong gale that followed tore apart the nearby sea of fire, flattening everything in its path, while the sky quivered with endless thunderous echoes.
Wei Shiyan skidded back, but his expression was calm, his breathing steady. He lifted his hand and muttered, almost to himself,
"Good… worthy of being a mount."
But his words only further enraged the beast. Already furious, it went completely violent.
With a roar that shook the firmament, the beast bolted forward. From the vault of the heavens, its unleashed a frightening technique, a massive paw descended, carrying frightening might. Sharp severing intent radiated from the claw tips, each talon gleaming like forged divine metal, capable of splitting rivers and sundering mountains. The destructive energy fused into the claw was not ordinary—it was a Beast God Technique, primal yet refined.
Wei Shiyan's eyes flashed. "So… the beast is truly using a technique."
He responded without hesitation. His right hand formed into a seal, his index and middle finger pressed together, transforming into a Sword Finger Seal. With one swift motion, he slashed out.
From his fingertips, a radiant, fierce sword light erupted—a dazzling strike imbued with the essence of countless laws. The void itself quivered under its sharpness.
Sword Art: Heaven-Cleaving Dao Slash!
The sword light rang out, reverberating and shaking the entire zone as though the heavens themselves were being split. Empowered by his path, the sword light met the colossal descending paw.
RUMBLE!
Like tofu meeting a divine blade, the beast's massive claw was cleaved apart into fragments of particles. The sword intent, carrying unstoppable sharpness, did not pause. It surged onward, unchallenged, cutting its way directly toward the beast's forehead.
BOOM!
The scales upon the beast's forehead shattered with an explosive crack, blood spraying forth in a crimson mist. Yet before even a single drop could fall into the void, the wound reacted.
Wei Shiyan's eyes widened slightly. He watched as the injured spot pulsed and twisted, rapidly forming new flesh. Young, tender scales emerged to cover the wound, though faintly translucent and clearly less sturdy than the original.
"What a truly astonishing and frightening recovery…" Wei Shiyan muttered, his astonishment evident.
But the beast showed no intention of relenting. Its body trembled with boundless fury, its bloodline boiling. Its roar this time was not just sound—it was words.
With a thunderous voice that shook the universe, the beast bellowed:
"SEEKING DEAD!"
At that moment, the entire battlefield transformed. The space itself trembled violently, shattering under the weight of its declaration. From the surrounding void, small illusionary tears began to appear, like cracks in reality. Every tear revealed a glimpse of incomprehensible darkness, a place where time and laws no longer existed.
Wei Shiyan's brow furrowed slightly, but his calm never wavered. He muttered under his breath,
"This beast… it is definitely a step away from true Immortality. A single hair's breadth separates it from transcending. To think I encountered such an existence in this place…"
The beast's aura continued to rise, shaking the very foundation of the world. The air was filled with destruction, its mere presence pressing against the soul of all beings in the area. If weaker cultivators were present, their bodies would have collapsed into dust before even perceiving the battle.
Wei Shiyan straightened, his eyes flashing with determination. The fight had escalated beyond the ordinary. Now, he wasn't just facing a beast—he was facing a being on the verge of becoming an Immortal.
He raised his hand once more, preparing his next strike. His aura surged, countless strands of law energy swirling around him like divine dragons. His body exuded the intent of a sovereign, as though no heaven or earth could restrain him.
The beast roared again, its massive body glowing with divine radiance. The scales upon its form lit up, each one like a star, each one radiating divine essence. A technique beyond anything it had used before was forming, the laws of heaven and earth themselves being summoned to fuel its power.
The void trembled.. The remnants of heavenly destruction merged into the growing storm.
Both sides, man and beast, prepared to unleash techniques that could shatter worlds.
But wei shiyan knows that the strength that the beast is showing now is far from it peak, so also he .
Wei Shiyan's lips curled into a faint smile. "So be it… let's see which one of us will stand at the peak."
The beast's eyes burned with golden light, its voice thunderous:
"YOU… ARE… Dead"
And with that—two overwhelming forces surged forward, colliding once again.
Giving the illusion as if The heavens cracked. The void screamed. The earth shoo
k.
The world itself seemed too fragile to contain the clash.
