You're just a single demon beast? I have a whole army of beast tamers!

Not only Lingcan Peak, but also disciples from other peaks, after seeing their opponents and the distribution of the arena,

There are undercurrents at play.

The monks with similar numbers sized each other up.

His eyes were filled with scrutiny and wariness.

Among the disciples who had old grudges or belonged to competing peaks, sparks flew.

On the high platform, Master Lingxiao's voice rang out once more:

"All participating disciples, according to the last digit of their tokens..."

Head to the corresponding arena area immediately!

The competition begins now!

As soon as the words were spoken, thousands of figures appeared, some riding magical artifacts.

Whether through physical techniques or carried by a spirit beast,

They quickly flew to the designated waiting areas below their respective arenas.

The previously crowded central area suddenly became much more spacious.

The ten arenas were instantly surrounded by a dense crowd.

At the edge of each arena stood a steward with at least the late Foundation Establishment cultivation level, his expression solemn.

Each of them held a battle flag in their hand.

Responsible for activating and maintaining the massive protective light shield that covers the entire arena.

The light shield was semi-transparent, with runes faintly visible on it, all of which were second-tier high-grade or even top-grade defensive formations!

The true disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect are incredibly powerful.

Ordinary formations simply cannot withstand the full power of their combined strength and that of their natal spirit beasts.

Only formations of this caliber can ensure safety and isolate the aftershocks of the battle.

The competition reached a small climax right from the start!

On the second arena, the two cultivators who took the stage in the first round were actually true disciples!

Moreover, they belong to the Spirit Ape Peak and the Spirit Insect Peak, which are branches of the Beast Peak with deep-seated grudges!

The man on the left is as agile as an ape, with a fierce-looking face.

It was Sun Lie, a true disciple of Lingyuan Peak.

He did not bring any extra spirit beasts with him.

He simply stroked a small, muscular ape crouching on his shoulder.

This ape's aura was deep and concentrated, clearly indicating that it had already reached the early stage of the second rank!

It was Sun Lie's natal spirit beast.

The Golden-backed Long-armed Ape, which inherited the bloodline of a certain ape king from Lingyuan Peak!

The person on the right is Mo Chen, a true disciple of the Spirit Insect Peak.

He remained calm, but hovering in front of him was the ferocious golden-armored flying scorpion, which also exuded the fierce aura of the early stage of the second tier.

Several insect sacs on his waist bulged slightly, indicating that he had other preparations.

Both of these disciples' natal spirit beasts broke through to the second tier during the Qi Refining stage!

This is extremely rare even among three thousand disciples.

It immediately attracted the attention of most of the spectators.

Even the initial battles in the other arenas paled in comparison.

The crowd, especially the large number of disciples who had not yet had their turn to compete,

They surged towards the area around the second arena in a flash.

Qin Shou also focused his gaze, quickly analyzing the situation in his mind:

"The true teachings of Spirit Ape Peak follow a close-combat approach that emphasizes strengthening oneself and coordinating with spirit beasts."

That golden-backed gibbon possessed immense strength and extraordinary agility.

Furthermore, he possesses the innate supernatural abilities of a long-arm combo and a body of metal and stone.

It combines offense and defense, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

The true teachings of Lingchong Peak center on the natal scorpion, supplemented by insect swarm tactics.

The Golden-Armored Flying Scorpion possesses potent venom, a hard exoskeleton, and agile flight.

Even more troublesome are those support spirit insects, whose harassment, crowd control, and attrition attacks are impossible to defend against.

This battle is a clash between the ultimate point and the unpredictable surface.

With a command from the arena steward, the competition began!

Sun Lie let out a low roar and leaped out at the same time as the golden-backed gibbon on his shoulder!

There is an invisible bond connecting humans and apes, allowing them to move in perfect unison.

It moved so fast that it only left a blur in place.

The golden-backed gibbon launched the first attack.

Its body swelled to about ten feet in the air.

The dark golden fist, accompanied by a deafening roar as it tore through the air, slammed straight into Mo Chen's face!

Sun Lie himself moved to the side like a ghost, his hands forming claws.

He lunged straight at Mo Chen's waist and abdomen, blocking his escape route.

Mo Chen seemed to have expected this, showing no sign of panic.

With a thought, the Golden Armored Flying Scorpion transformed into a beam of golden light.

Without dodging or avoiding, it actually used its hard back armor to directly confront the Golden-backed Long-armed Ape's fist!

"clang!"

The sound of metal clashing against metal rang out, and shockwaves surged.

At the same time, Mo Chen flicked his sleeve, and two dark figures shot out.

In mid-air, they transformed into hundreds of black ants with sharp mouthparts, capable of devouring bones.

It split into two streams, one of which descended upon Sun Lie like a dark cloud.

The other group attempted to bypass the battlefield and harass the rear.

Sun Lie's offensive was thwarted, and he faced the approaching swarm of ants.

With a cold snort, a burst of blood-red smoke suddenly rose from his body.

This is a manifestation of the Spirit Ape Overlord Body Technique being cultivated to a high level.

The fiery aura of blood and qi was scorching and fierce, as bone-eating black ants crashed into it.

They immediately hissed and fell off, charred black.

However, the sheer number of ants, coming one after another, still caused considerable trouble for him.

The Golden-backed Long-armed Ape and the Golden-armored Flying Scorpion were already locked in combat.

The Ape King unleashes powerful attacks, combining fists, claws, and knee strikes with a frenzied onslaught.

The Flying Scorpion, with its flight advantage and hard carapace, skillfully dodges and parries.

It occasionally launches cunning counterattacks with its tail hook and venomous stinger.

The venom splattered onto the arena's protective shield, making a sizzling, corrosive sound.

Mo Chen did not stop, his fingers flicking repeatedly.

Then dozens of bewitching bees with transparent wings were released, emitting a disturbing buzzing sound.

Interfering with the mental connection between Sun Lie and the golden-backed ape.

At the same time, the ground beneath his feet slightly arched.

Several centipedes, each as thick as a finger, emerged from the ground.

It silently wrapped around Sun Lie's legs.

Sun Lie was caught in a swarm of insects and felt the pressure.

He roared and erupted simultaneously with the golden-backed gibbon!

The golden-backed ape's eyes turned bloodshot, its size increased, and its arms created afterimages as it swung them.

The Tongbi Combo was activated, unleashing dozens of punches in an instant.

The golden-armored flying scorpion was forced to retreat repeatedly.

Tiny cracks also appeared on the shell.

Sun Lie himself forcefully shook off the bone-eating ants.

Ignoring the centipede's coils, he endured several venomous stings.

Approaching Mo Chen, the Ape King's Mountain-Splitting Palm, imbued with the full force of his body, was unleashed with a thunderous roar!

Mo Chen frowned slightly and quickly retreated.

Meanwhile, the Golden Armored Flying Scorpion abandoned its fight with the Golden-Backed Ape.

It transformed into golden light and returned to aid, its hooked venomous barb piercing Sun Lie's back, a siege of Wei to rescue Zhao.

In a flash, Sun Lie neither dodged nor avoided.

Relying on its own strength and blood to withstand the poisonous thorns,

The palm strike landed solidly on the bone shield that Mo Chen had hastily conjured.

"Snap!"

The bone shield shattered, and Mo Chen was sent flying backward, coughing up blood, his aura weakened.

The Golden Armored Flying Scorpion's venomous stinger pierced Sun Lie's back.

However, the violent churning of its qi and blood temporarily suppressed most of the toxicity.

The outcome hinges on the smallest of margins!

Sun Lie was seriously injured, but Mo Chen seemed to have lost the ability to fight again.

Just as the deacon was about to announce the results,

Mo Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a cold smile appearing on his face, and said softly:

"burst."

Those wire centipedes that had burrowed under Sun Lie's flesh

And a few remaining bone-eating black ants, their bodies suddenly swelled up, and then...

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

A muffled explosion resounded inside and on the surface of Sun Lie's body!

Sun Lie let out a miserable scream, and the aura of blood and qi around him instantly dissipated.

He fell to the ground like a tattered sack.

The golden-backed gibbon also let out a mournful cry.

His body shrank, and his breath rapidly declined.

Insect Explosion Secret Technique!

Mo Chen actually refined these auxiliary spirit insects into controllable self-destructing Gu insects!

The steward of the second arena immediately intervened, casting a beam of spiritual light around Sun Lie.

Suppressing his injuries and the rampant insect poison and explosive power within his body, he loudly announced:

"Lingchong Peak, Mo Chen, victorious!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

Brilliant, tragic, and bizarre!

The battle of true masters was indeed extraordinary!
