C405 A Magical Beast of the Fifth Rank
C405 A Magical Beast of the Fifth Rank
"This is good, with the help of Soul Blood Pool, I believe you can go up to the next level and break through to the level of Half-step Sect Master."
Lei Baxian said to Lei Qing in satisfaction. If they didn't have the guidance compass this time, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to find a piece of Soul Blood Pool in such a vast secret realm.
"Thank you for your praise, uncle."
"You played a part in this as well. Otherwise, with so many powerful magical beasts, just the few of us alone would have found it hard to deal with them." Lei Qing knew that her uncle was incredibly talented. He was no weaker than her father, so her tone was polite.
"Enough, enough."
"We don't need to flatter each other anymore. It's more important to hurry up and enter the Soul Blood Pool." Lei Baxian waved his hand, signaling Lei Qing to follow.
But at this moment, the atmosphere suddenly changed.
The ground suddenly started to shake violently. A huge claw stretched out from the dense forest and smashed down towards Lei Qing's group.
The claw was completely silver-white and it was flickering with a metallic luster. The energy it emitted was extremely terrifying, and it was like a mountain was collapsing as it came suppressing down.
"Hmph, reckless."
"A mere Paragon magical beast of the fourth rank actually dares to come throw his life away." Lei Baxian's eyes suddenly turned cold and he subconsciously raised his palm. His attack came later and arrived first. Before the giant claw could land, a pillar of thick Qi shot out.
"Bam!"
The two completely different forces clashed violently with each other. The huge claw was slightly sluggish, and a silver-white light suddenly lit up from within it. It was as if there was a moon held within the claw, releasing an immortal mercury-like brilliance.
"What?"
Lei Baxian's expression changed. He could only feel a terrifying pressure coming from it. The palm force he sent out was almost instantly shattered, and his huge claw also landed with a loud bang.
"Quick, retreat!"
Lei Baxian retreated. Lei Qing and the rest hastily shot backwards. The place where they had originally been fighting strength was shattered with a single slap. Violent air waves caused crushed rocks and broken wood to fly in all directions.
"Fifth Level Devil Beast."
"What a cunning beast!"
Lei Baxian's face was ashen, and he even had some lingering fear. If they had been any slower, they would have been smashed into meat paste. It was like walking through the gates of hell.
"Little uncle, what do we do now?" Lei Qing's beautiful face paled slightly as she felt a strong aura of death from that giant claw. Soul Blood Pool was right in front of her, but she didn't expect that there would be a true Fifth Level Devil Beast lurking nearby.
"Don't worry, I'll deal with it."
"Protect yourselves."
Lei Baxian's gaze darkened as a small bell the size of a palm appeared in his hand. This small bell was completely golden in color. Strands of unusually vigorous energy flowed out from it in an unending stream.
"Golden Bell!"
Lei Baxian shouted and the small bell started spinning. It quickly enlarged in the air and turned into a seven to eight meter tall bell. The moment the huge claw was about to hit it again, the bell ruthlessly hit Lei Baxian.
"Aooo!"
The golden bell released a myriad of golden lightning bolts, forming a sea of lightning. In the instant that the giant claw came whistling over, it covered the entire bell, and those scorching lightning bolts seemed to turn into an all-conquering sharp sword, slicing open the giant claw that was indestructible and leaving visible scars.
"Roar!"
Like a terrifying storm, the hissing sound caused several towering trees to fly up and a huge monster that was dozens of meters tall walked out from the dense forest behind the Soul Blood Pool. The tiger beast's body was covered with scales that were suffused with a silver glow and its eyes were flickering with flames.
"It really is a Fifth Level Devil Beast!"
Feeling the oppression coming from this giant beast, even if it was Lu Chen who was hiding in secret, he could not help but shiver. He did not expect that there would be such a terrifying existence hibernating near the Soul Blood Pool.
"Human, you have successfully infuriated me!" Suddenly, its entire body released a piercing radiance, as if it was covered in a layer of hard and thick armor. Then, after a step, it appeared right in front of Lei Baxian, and with a claw carrying a destructive force, it flew forward.
Sensing the killing intent in the silver-white giant beast's eyes, Lei Baxian's expression tensed up, but his hands did not hesitate at all. The giant golden bell suddenly lit up and streaks of lightning interweaved, forming an incomparably huge Thunder Dragon that directly wrapped around the huge claw, and a terrifying and powerful collision occurred between the two.
Boom!
The Thunder Dragon shattered with a loud bang, but the huge claw was also struck heavily, causing the silvery-white giant beast to be forced back a few steps.
As the golden bell hung in the air, a strong backlash came from it, causing Lei Baxian to stagger back. A rare look of seriousness appeared in his eyes.
The power within it was enough to destroy mountains and rivers. Even though his cultivation level was not at the Grandmaster Realm, the explosive power after activating it was enough to compete with other Sect Master Level practitioners. However, that strike from earlier did not cause the slightest bit of damage to the silvery-white giant beast, which greatly surprised Lei Baxian.
"Not a bad magic tool."
The silver white giant beast stopped its retreat and looked at the golden bell with a rare look of greed. It knew that Lei Baxian's strength was not as good as his, but to be able to fight against it with just a single magic tool, the power of this magic tool was much stronger than what he had imagined, and it was definitely a rare treasure.
The strike missed, but the silver-white giant beast did not intend to stop its attack just like that. It opened its bloody mouth, and a terrifying wave of demon Qi congregated within, forming a highly condensed sphere, the energy that it released caused everyone's scalps to go numb.
"Tianmu!"
The golden bell released an endless radiance, forming a huge wall of light in front of Lei Family and the others. At the same time, he made a seal with his hands, soul power interweaving and forming an even more sturdy shield, blocking in front of him.
Just as he finished doing all of this, the silver-white giant beast finally spat out the ball formed from the energy in its mouth. Before the sonic boom could even be heard, a ripple appeared in the air, followed by a deafening explosion that was as terrifying as a tsunami.
When the smoke and dust dispersed, it revealed the miserable figures of the people from Lei Family. The surrounding area had been razed to the ground, and the eight to nine hundred meters below ground had been covered.
An enormous golden bell blocked in front of them, saving the lives of Lei Family and the others at the critical moment. However, it blocked the berserk attack just now, causing the originally resplendent golden bell to darken a little.
Fifth Level Devil Beast could originally live on par with other existences in the Sect Master Level. If it were any other low-grade magic tool, they would have already been destroyed by the violent attack just now.
The material of this golden bell was refined from outer space Dao gold, and it far exceeded the average mid-grade magic tool, thus, it was able to help Lei Baxian and the rest block this attack. Otherwise, if it wasn't for that, they would have already been burnt to ashes.
The battle strength of Fifth Level Devil Beast, could definitely be described as "terrifying".
