A colossal fierce beast appeared before them, embodying the head of a dragon, the antlers of a deer, the eyes of a lion, the back of a tiger, the waist of a bear, the scales of a snake, the hooves of a horse, and the tail of an ox.
Its blood-red fur stood several meters tall, radiating an aura of menacing ferocity. Its eyes blazed with crimson light, and the bloodthirstiness emanating from it chilled one to the bone, as if it had stepped right out of Jiuyou Hell.
A pair of blood-colored lion eyes, larger than bronze bells, stared down at Di Sha and his companions, causing their complexions to turn pale, their bodies trembling.
"What... what is this thing?"
Mo Fang’s eyes were fixed on the fierce beast, filled with shock.
"Such a terrifying presence; this is definitely not an ordinary fierce beast!"
Di Sha’s expression was exceptionally grave as he spoke.
Suddenly, the immense beast, filled with a vicious aura, glared at Di Sha and the others with blood-filled eyes and let out a thunderous roar, the shockwave making their blood boil.
Following that, as the fierce beast moved, the sound of clanking chains resounded. Its massive limbs were tightly bound by black iron chains.
Nevertheless, the movement of the fierce beast still frightened Di Sha and the others, who took several steps back, their eyes filled with wariness.
"What kind of fierce beast is this?"
At that moment, Xiao Yifeng, observing from outside through x-ray vision, eyes also twinkled; the source of the fierce beast’s aura he had detected earlier was indeed coming from this creature, though its presence was overwhelmingly terrifying.
"Look, there’s a ring over there!"
At that moment, a Strong One from the Fiery Flame Sect noticed, beside the fierce beast on a stone platform, a blood-colored ring.
Seeing the ring, both Di Sha and the three Half-Step Heavenly Man Realm experts from the Fiery Flame Sect had gleaned eyes.
"Storage Ring, what is that?"
Xiao Yifeng’s eyes flashed with curiosity, having never heard of this Storage Ring, but when he tried to inspect it with x-ray vision, he found a barrier preventing him from probing, evidently, it was no simple object.
Immediately, Di Sha and the three Half-Step Heavenly Man Realm experts from the Fiery Flame Sect all rushed forward.
Just then, the fierce beast let out an enraged roar and its colossal body charged at Di Sha and the others, its chained limbs hammering toward Di Sha, who was at the forefront.
The terrifying force descended, annihilating the air currents in the void; Di Sha felt the breath of death and hurriedly mobilized all his strength to defend himself.
After the impact, Di Sha was sent flying back, kneeling on the ground, spitting blood, his face as pale as death, seriously injured by the blow.
The fierce beast, emanating a terrifying murderous aura, attacked with its chained limbs, instantly sending the three elders from the Fiery Flame Sect flying, heavily wounded, blood spewing from their mouths.
An earth-shattering roar erupted from the fierce beast, its blood-red fur quivering, its limbs wildly flailing but unable to break free from the chains. Clearly, those chains were no ordinary objects; else they wouldn’t contain this horrifying beast.
"This fierce beast is terrifying!"
Zuo Qing, standing to one side, watched the fierce beast with an expression full of shock.
"This must be an ancient fierce beast, not a trivial matter! This Asura Cave was most likely made to imprison this beast, no wonder our ancestor left a legacy prohibiting the opening of Asura Cave, it must have been to prevent this beast from escaping!"
Tiangang’s expression was solemn as he spoke.
The elder from the Fiery Flame Sect first consumed an elixir to heal the injuries within his body, then stood up, waved his hand, and a blazing red hammer appeared in his grasp.
True Qi surged into it, and instantly the hammer released an intense energy, as if a ball of flame was burning on the hammer, evidently a Superior Grade Spiritual Artifact.
"The three of us will join hands to stop him, you go get the ring!"
The elder said to a fellow Fiery Flame Sect master at the Middle Stage of Entering Saint Realm beside him.
Immediately, the other two Half-Step Heavenly Man Realm masters from the Fiery Flame Sect each took out an elixir and consumed it, quickly healing their injuries, and then both produced a Superior Grade Spiritual Artifact.
Three Half-Step Heavenly Man Realm strong ones, coupled with their Superior Grade Spiritual Artifacts, erupted with an unimaginable momentum, their strength surged in an instant to many times what it had been before.
The leading elder from the Fiery Flame Sect, holding the hammer, smashed it fiercely towards the fierce beast. The hammer was enveloped in flames, and as he hammered down, it was like a huge fireball smashing towards the beast.
At the same time, the other two Half-Step Heavenly Man Realm strong ones from the Fiery Flame Sect also launched their attacks at the fierce beast, each wielding a Spiritual Artifact and releasing their most powerful strike, the terrifying power seemed to be about to shatter the void.
At that moment, the Fiery Flame Sect master at the Middle Stage of Entering Saint Realm rushed towards the ring.
But before the Fiery Flame Sect master at the Middle Stage of Entering Saint Realm could get close to the ring, a dreadful attack descended upon him out of nowhere, instantly shattering his internal organs, a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out.
The entire man fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, dying with his eyes unseeing, probably clueless about who had suddenly struck him down until his death, and the figure standing behind him was none other than Di Sha, who had just made the move.
The elder from the Fiery Flame Sect saw this scene and his face changed color, he called out angrily.
"Thank you for creating this opportunity for me!"
Di Sha’s mouth curled into a cold smile, and his body charged towards the ring.
"Di Sha, this is an object from Asura Cave, do not think you can have it!"
Shi Tiangang’s voice suddenly rang out, his badly injured body blocking Di Sha’s path.
Di Sha glared at Tiangang and coldly shouted, thrusting out a palm heavily, and Tiangang, already seriously injured, couldn’t withstand it at all. He was sent flying by the terrifying force.
His body heavily collided with the wall, then slid to the ground, spewing blood mixed with fragments of flesh from his mouth, his complexion deathly pale, his life clearly soon to end.
Xiu Haojie and Zuo Qing’s faces changed, calling out as they looked at Tiangang.
Suddenly, a sky-piercing roar resounded, a colossal aura of fierce malevolence quickly filled the entire cavern.
The fierce beast opened its gaping maw, its eyes filled with a blood-red light, endless blood light spreading from its body, a dense scent of blood emanating forth.
Then the beast’s gaping maw generated a terrifying devouring power, and all the Superior Grade Spiritual Artifacts in the hands of the three Fiery Flame Sect strong ones were devoured by it.
Next, two terrible beams of blood light carrying fierce malevolence burst forth from the bloody eyes of the beast.
