This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Bai Susu was thrown a great distance by that powerful force and fell directly into the water.

Fortunately, she is quite capable and reacts quickly.

I held my breath the moment I fell into the water to avoid choking.

Just as she was about to float up, a golden light suddenly floated out of the small pouch at her waist where she kept her personal belongings.

Bai Susu was stunned for a moment, and when she looked closely, she realized that it was a purple strip of paper covered with messy lines.

"This is..."

Bai Susu suddenly remembered that this note was given to her by the young friend who called himself a poor Taoist priest half a month ago.

He had said at the time that this thing might save her life in a critical moment.

Bai Susu didn't believe it at the time, thinking it was a parting gift from a friend that she shouldn't just throw away, so she carefully kept it in her waist pouch.

However, the fact that she put the talisman in her waist pouch instead of her storage bag shows that Bai Susu did not take the talisman seriously.

She never expected that this thing would actually save her life.

Even in the water, the talisman continued to burn out at an extremely fast speed.

Bai Susu suddenly realized that Master Li was no ordinary person; he was clearly a true hermit master.

I actually thought he was just a mortal who had wandered into the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range...

Bai Susu quickly surfaced, circulated her inner energy, and stood on the water's surface, turning her head to look towards the island.

Those from various sects and factions who had initially come to the island to see if they could gain any benefits were now all dead or wounded.

The water next to the island has been stained blood red.

Just then, two streaks of light suddenly flew out from within the island. Bai Susu recognized one of them as an inner elder of her Beast Taming Sect, a great master at the Ninth Heaven Realm.

The other one is naturally an elder of the Thunder God Temple, who is also a master of the Ninth Heaven.

However, at this moment, the faces of these two great masters from the Ninth Heaven were filled with extreme fear.

The elder of the Beast Taming Sect roared:

"The intelligence is incorrect. This is not an ancient beast cub, but a living ancient beast called 'Tianwu'! Beast Taming Sect disciples, run!"

But where are the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect?

Apart from Bai Susu, all the disciples who entered the island had already been wiped out.

Not only the Beast Taming Sect, but also the disciples of the Thunder God Palace were all gone, except for that elder.

Two top experts from the Ninth Heaven took to the air and fled for their lives.

But the awakened beast on the island clearly didn't want to let them go.

A terrifying beast's claw emerged from the island, seemingly blotting out the sky.

The elder of the Thunder God Temple, who was half a step behind, was terrified at the sight.

We can only do our best to resist.

Lightning flashed across the sky, and the qi transformed into thunderbolts, crashing towards the beast's claws.

But when this lightning, capable of easily leveling a mountain, struck the beast's claws, it was as if a gentle breeze had passed by, failing to cause it the slightest harm.

The beast's claws fell without any resistance, striking the elder of the Thunder God Temple.

With just one claw, this expert from the Ninth Heaven was smashed to pieces, beyond any hope of survival.

The elders of the Beast Taming Sect didn't dare to look and could only flee for their lives.

However, as soon as he flew off the island, a huge wall of water suddenly rose up in front of him and rushed towards him with overwhelming force.

In desperation, the Beast Taming Sect elder threw out his spirit beast pouch, and a lizard-like beast emerged, blocking his way, only to be knocked down by the waves.

The lizard-like beast, whose strength was comparable to the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm, was as weak as a lamb to the slaughter in the face of this terrifying wave. It was directly knocked back to the island, fell to the ground and howled in pain, and was even unable to stand up.

The aftershocks of the giant wave also knocked the Beast Taming Sect elder back onto the island. Although the companion spirit beast's protection reduced the damage, he was still struggling to breathe and couldn't muster any energy for a while.

Just then, the ground shook violently, as if a colossal creature was coming, uprooting mountains and felling trees.

The elder of the Beast Taming Sect turned his head slowly, his face ashen.

A huge shadow stood behind him.

Under the gloomy sky stood a towering figure, surrounded by a layer of mist that slowly rose up, turning into cumulus clouds on the horizon, from which rain fell.

It turned out that the heavy rain was actually coming from the breath of this strange beast.

With eight heads, a tiger's body, eight legs and eight tails, and a greenish-yellow body, it can exhale clouds and mist to turn into rain. It is none other than the ancient mythical beast Tianwu recorded in ancient books.

It is also known as the water-controlling divine beast.

The elder of the Beast Taming Sect looked up at the ancient beast, letting the rain fall on his face, his mind no longer harboring any thoughts of resistance.

The adult Tianwu Beast is comparable to a martial arts immortal, and even among immortals, it is considered a powerful being due to its innate ability to control water.

He was just a mortal from the Ninth Heaven, how could he possibly contend against such a naturally born extraordinary being?

None of the eight heads of the Tianwu Beast were looking at him; instead, they were gazing into the distance, watching Bai Susu on the water's surface.

However, its claws fell with perfect accuracy, crushing the Beast Taming Sect elder, who was at the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm, and his companion spirit beast to death with a single stomp.

In the distance, Bai Susu witnessed this horrific scene.

She was already pale with fright.

Seeing the strange beast Tianwu staring at her, Bai Susu finally snapped out of her fear, raised her hand, and a portal of ethereal light appeared.

The white crane revealed its form.

Bai Susu jumped directly onto the white crane's back.

"Little White, run!"

The white crane had long been intimidated by Tianwu's terrifying aura, and without Bai Susu's prompting, it flapped its wings and took off.

On the island, a violent aura simultaneously appeared in Tianwu's eight heads and sixteen eyes. After gathering his strength slightly, his body suddenly soared into the air, transforming into a streak of light. In the blink of an eye, he caught up with Baihe and stood in front of him.

The white crane hurriedly stopped and turned to run away.

But then the terrifying beast stomped its claw in the air, and the raindrops instantly contracted, forming a huge water sphere that sealed Bai He and Bai Susu inside.

No matter how much the man and the beast struggled, they could not break free from the water sphere's blockade.

Bai Susu looked ashen-faced, her heart filled with despair.

In the face of life and death, she put away her spirit beast, the white crane, not wanting her companion to suffer the same pain as her.

The water pressure inside the water sphere grew stronger and stronger, and the terrifying force squeezed Bai Susu's body. The physique of an eighth-level martial artist could not be damaged by ordinary divine weapons, but under this water pressure, she felt as if she was about to be crushed.

The strange beast Tianwu slowly approached, and eight heads that looked like human faces came closer, staring intently at Bai Susu.

With a gentle wave of a beast's paw, a speck of ash slowly drifted out of Bai Susu's pouch.

It was the ashes left behind when the talisman burned earlier.

So the reason this strange beast kept chasing her was because of this talisman?

Bai Susu's consciousness slowly blurred, her feelings were extremely complicated, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether the talisman had saved her or harmed her.

"If I could see him again, I would definitely thank him, but unfortunately... I'll never see him again..."

Bai Susu could no longer hold on; her body was on the verge of collapse.

His spirit dimmed, and he finally lost consciousness completely.

Standing beside the water sphere, Tianwu suddenly turned around and looked towards the horizon, where a golden rainbow light, like a shooting star, was rapidly approaching...
