Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 137 Battle Foundation Building

The blood of the falcon fell like raindrops, creating ripples on the lake's surface and attracting countless fish to scramble for the food.

Casually tossing down two pieces of corpse, Cang Lei Hu glared fiercely at Pei Xiao.

By activating the Thunder Entanglement to eliminate the opponent's greatest reliance, its chances of survival have increased by 30%.

"I want you dead." Pei Xiao's eyes were bloodshot as he detonated all the second-tier talismans in his hand in one breath.

Boom!

Thunder raged, flames roared, frost spread, and sandstorms raged like a prison.

Amidst the fierce battle between the two Foundation Establishment cultivators, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became chaotic, and a torrential rain began to fall from the long-gloomy sky.

'It's a rare thunderstorm, that Foundation Establishment cultivator's luck is really too bad!' Chen Beiwu thought to himself.

In the Lesser Five Elements theory, Qian and Dui belong to Metal, Zhen and Xun belong to Wood, Kan belong to Water, Li belong to Fire, and Kun and Gen belong to Earth.

Water and lightning are two completely different attributes, and there is a clear restraining relationship between lightning-attribute spirit beasts and water-attribute spirit beasts.

In the theory of the Five Elements, water generates wood, and wood generates thunder. To some extent, thunder, like ice, can evolve through the water element.

Therefore, during thunderstorms, the Azure Thunder Tiger's strength will not only not decrease, but will actually increase significantly.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Half an hour later, the torrential rain stopped, the thunder subsided, and the battle between Cang Lei Hu and Pei Xiao gradually came to an end.

'This is impossible!' Pei Xiao's face turned pale, and his eyes showed despair.

If it weren't for the suppression of the great formation, the sudden thunderstorm, and the loss of his long-cultivated spirit pet, he would have been absolutely certain of killing this damned Azure Thunder Tiger.

The Azure Thunder Tiger opened its merciless mouth and bit Pei Xiao's neck, severing his breath, before raising its head and letting out a roar that shook the mountains and forests.

Unlike its previous majestic appearance, it was now covered in crisscrossing wounds.

The longest cut on his body stretched from his neck to his shoulder blade, nearly severing his entire head.

Secondly, there was the penetrating wound in the abdomen. Through the exposed, broken ribs of the Azure Thunder Tiger, Chen Beiwu could see the internal organs deep inside the wound, almost charred black.

Finally, there was its missing left forepaw below the elbow, and its right hind leg with twisted joints and shattered bones.

'Is this the terrifying vitality of a second-realm lesser demon?' Chen Beiwu's eyes widened in shock.

If such injuries were inflicted on a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they would probably have died countless times already.

Yet, the Azure Thunder Tiger, despite its crippled body, managed to defeat numerous talismans and magical artifacts, ultimately achieving victory. Such willpower is truly astonishing.

'Gurgle?' The golden egg's eyes lit up slightly.

"Are you sure you want to go?" Chen Beiwu asked with interest. "Aren't you afraid it might have some hidden cards up its sleeve?"

One moment he was trembling with fear, the next he was full of confidence. Jin Dan finally understood what it meant to pick the softest persimmon.

'Gurgle.' The golden egg nodded.

Although the aura of the Azure Thunder Tiger still made the fish feel suffocated, it keenly sensed that the former was approaching its limit.

With just a slight intervention, it could become the final straw that breaks the camel's back.

……

The Azure Thunder Tiger lay prone in the scorched earth pit, tearing at the flesh of the Sand Falcon with all its might.

Although it won this battle, it was a Pyrrhic victory, and it will take at least several decades to recover.

If it weren't for its strong foundation, it might have already fallen back to a first-tier spirit.

"call out!"

Sensing the wind coming from above, the Azure Thunder Tiger's eyes flashed with mockery as it extended its slightly intact right forepaw.

Even though its physical body is on the verge of collapse, it is not something that a demon can covet.

Just as the Azure Thunder Tiger was about to smash the oncoming water-splitting blade with its claw and crush the ignorant monster, a strange sense of crisis suddenly arose in its mind. It shuddered and transformed into lightning, soaring into the air, but it was still a little too slow.

"Three powers lock the abyss, five layers lock fate, the formation begins."

As soon as Chen Beiwu finished speaking, twenty-four black water columns shot into the sky from where the Azure Thunder Tiger was.

"Explode!" With a thought, he detonated the five-layered water-locking array.

"boom!"

Before the Azure Thunder Tiger could even react, the five illusory Life-Locking Abyss Pythons shone brightly, transforming into boundless water-shaped essence that drew in the spiritual energy around the lake, triggering a deafening explosion.

Wherever the violent shockwave passed, the earth was reduced to dust.

Did it work?

Chen Beiwu stared intently at the smoke and dust, pushing his divine sense to its limit.

You have to give to receive!

The power of a single detonation of the Five-fold Water-Locking Array is almost comparable to the damage caused by a cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

However, because the power was not concentrated enough and the range was too wide, the destructive force of the array could at most severely injure cultivators at the Qi Refining stage, but could not harm Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Fortunately, this place is rich in water elemental energy, which can multiply the power of the great formation's explosion. This might further injure the already weakened Azure Thunder Tiger, or even kill it.

"tread!"

"tread!"

"tread!"

Heavy footsteps and panting could be heard from within the smoke and dust, then abruptly ceased.

Chen Beiwu's pupils contracted as a charred tiger claw appeared above his head, traversing space and slamming down with overwhelming force.

Although Lei Hu is crippled, his malevolent aura has not yet dissipated.

Feeling the domineering aura of the Azure Thunder Tiger up close, Golden Egg trembled slightly and subconsciously activated its Flowing Golden Scales, forming a golden light shield in front of it and Chen Beiwu to block the tiger's claw strike.

"boom!"

Having anticipated this, Chen Beiwu took two steps back and activated his Soaring Waves Stepping on the Void.

With the sound of sudden rain, Chen Beiwu instantly teleported ten zhang away, flicked his finger upwards, and the ten water blade talismans suddenly vanished.

Countless thin, hair-like lines of azure water rose into the air, completely surrounding the Azure Thunder Tiger.

"Shhhhhh!"

Ignoring the numerous water blades coming at him, the Azure Thunder Tiger opened its massive fangs, wanting to finish off the two ants quickly before its physical body collapsed.

'Golden Egg, hold it off for two breaths.'

"Gulu."

Upon hearing this, the golden egg instinctively stepped back, then quickly realized what was happening and activated its talent, transforming into a ten-zhang-long behemoth in an instant, attempting to intimidate the Azure Thunder Tiger.

'This idiot!' Chen Beiwu frowned slightly.

What's the difference between using the Ruyi Spiritual Technique in front of the Azure Thunder Tiger, which excels in speed, and becoming a sitting duck?
Fortunately, while the Golden Egg may not excel in other areas, its defense is formidable. Even by simply taking hits, it can hold off the Azure Thunder Tiger and buy two breaths of time.

"Roar!"

After several rounds of fighting, he found that even his thunderous attacks were no match for this strange fish, which was more resilient than a mountain, and he was instead forced to retreat.

A ruthless glint flashed in Cang Leihu's eyes. He burned all the essence and blood in his body and released the spiritual technique "Thunderous Entanglement" to fight to the death once again.

Rumble!
With the enhancement of the Thunder Demon, the raging lightning exploded, not only piercing through the monster fish's body but also completely evaporating the Taoist priest behind the monster fish who was casting the spell.

"Clap."

Seeing that he had won, Cang Lei Hu lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground, with layers of double images and a hazy mist appearing before his eyes.

It strained its front paws, trying to prop itself up to eat and recover, when a spirit sword, as black as ink, with a long, narrow blade and a cold, eerie blue light, suddenly slashed down from behind, severing its entire head.
