Spring gave way to autumn, and sixty years passed quickly.
In a vast cerulean sea, the blazing sun shone overhead, and the waters were calm. A flock of cyan seagulls flew high above.
Suddenly, the sea violently churned, unleashing a towering wave, accompanied by a piercing shriek.
A golden whale, over a thousand zhang long, surfaced. Its tail had blue spiritual patterns, its body was covered in bloodstains, and its eyes were filled with terror.
Centered around the golden whale, a massive whirlpool, one hundred thousand zhang in diameter, appeared out of thin air. The giant whirlpool spun rapidly, and a colossal water tornado shot skyward, lifting the golden whale high into the air.
Before it could fall back down, a blue streak of light flew out from beneath the sea, heading straight for the golden whale.
The golden whale spat out a shimmering golden soundwave. Like flimsy paper, the blue streak of light instantly shattered the soundwave and pierced directly through the golden whale's body, staining the sky with blood.
With a flash of blue light, Wang Changsheng appeared, holding the Taihao Spirit-Slaying Blade, its surface stained with golden blood.
Wang Changsheng released his Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada, allowing it to devour the golden whale's soul. The golden whale's enormous corpse plummeted from the sky.
On a small island nearby, the Two-Eyed Rat burrowed out from underground. A burst of yellow light emanated from its body, and its size surged dramatically. It released a hazy yellow glow, enveloping the golden whale's corpse. The whale's body rapidly shrank, drawn into the Two-Eyed Rat's body and disappearing from sight.
The Two-Eyed Rat then lay on the ground, its body plump and round.
Wang Changsheng descended from the sky, landing in front of the Two-Eyed Rat.
"You fellow, your appetite is getting bigger and bigger," Wang Changsheng chuckled. The Two-Eyed Rat had a huge appetite, but it was still far less than that of the Qilin Turtle.
The Sky-Rending Beast was still in slumber, so Wang Changsheng had come out specifically to find food for them.
The Two-Eyed Rat climbed onto Wang Changsheng's shoulder, letting out excited chirps, as if saying, "Thank you, Master."
"Let's go! We've been out for quite some time. It's time to go back."
Wang Changsheng transformed into a blue streak of light and left the area.
Seven days later, he returned to the desolate island where Wang Ruyan was; the Sky-Rending Beast was undergoing its tribulation.
Wang Ruyan stood on a low earthen mound, gazing at the sky.
A mighty thunderous roar came from high above, and silver lightning bolts struck down. Once it passed this tribulation, the Sky-Rending Beast would advance to the sixth rank.
A little less than fifteen minutes later, the thundercloud, now only tens of zhang in size, churned violently, revealing blue, red, and green arcs of electricity.
"Tri-colored Divine Lightning! Thankfully, it's only one bolt."
Wang Changsheng's expression tightened. He wondered if the Illusory Dragon's breakthrough to the seventh rank would attract even more formidable lightning power.
The thundercloud churned fiercely, transforming into a hundred-zhang-large, tri-colored thunder hawk, enveloped in lightning.
The Tri-colored Thunder Hawk spread its wings and swooped down from the sky.
In a giant valley, the Sky-Rending Beast's body was covered in injuries. A brilliant silver light burst from its body, showing no fear of the Tri-colored Thunder Hawk.
As the Tri-colored Thunder Hawk approached, the Sky-Rending Beast shot out a silver light, piercing through the thunder hawk. The Tri-colored Thunder Hawk instantly exploded, and a dazzling tri-colored sun shot skyward, engulfing the entire valley.
After a moment, the tri-colored sun dissipated, and Wang Ruyan flew over.
The Sky-Rending Beast lay in a smoking crater, its body riddled with wounds.
Wang Ruyan sighed in relief and took out a pale silver pill, which she fed to the Sky-Rending Beast.
This was a Jade Beast Pill, a unique elixir of the Witch Tribe, used to heal spiritual beasts and accelerate their recovery.
After taking the Jade Beast Pill, the Sky-Rending Beast flew into a cave to recuperate. Once its injuries healed in a few days, they could head to the Demonic Abyss Heaven to seek the Water of the Netherworld.
"Void Refinement cultivators are approaching!"
Wang Changsheng frowned slightly, pondering for a moment before releasing the Illusory Dragon. The Illusory Dragon spewed a large expanse of golden mist, enveloping the entire island.
Before long, the golden mist dispersed, and the entire island also vanished.
Four streaks of light flew from the distance, moving incredibly fast.
A moment later, the four streaks of light appeared above where Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were hiding. They were indeed four Void Refinement cultivators, led by a corpulent old man in a black robe. Their eyes were filled with terror.
"Trying to escape? As if you can!" A cold male voice came from the horizon.
No sooner had the words fallen than dense golden light flew from the distant sky.
The black-robed old man and the other three all summoned their magic treasures to defend themselves. After a massive roar, they shattered the golden light. The golden light was, in fact, formed by dense golden beetles. They had a pair of sharp fangs protruding and numbered in the hundreds of thousands. Their insect king was a mid-grade sixth-rank creature.
"Vajra Bugs!" The black-robed old man turned pale with shock.
Before they could react, hundreds of thousands of Vajra Bugs swarmed them, engulfing the four figures. Even activating their Dharma Idols was useless; the Vajra Bugs gnawed at their Dharma Idols as well.
A deafening thunderous roar echoed, and a massive black lightning ball lit up, engulfing a large number of Vajra Bugs.
When the lightning dissipated, thousands of Vajra Bugs were gone. Most were stunned, but quickly returned to normal.
The black-robed old man transformed into a streak of black light and streaked through the air, his escape speed exceptionally fast.
A golden lightning bolt lit up in the sky, and a gigantic, entirely golden falcon appeared, its sharp talons striking at the black-robed old man.
Countless black mists surged from the old man's body, enveloping him completely. Faint sounds of wailing ghosts could be heard, and some ferocious ghost figures could be seen.
Countless golden electric arcs surged from the golden giant falcon, engulfing the black-robed old man. Hundreds of thousands of Vajra Bugs condensed into a giant golden sword, which plunged into the golden lightning, followed by a scream.
Two streaks of light flew from the distant sky. Before long, they stopped, revealing a somewhat hunched golden-robed old man and a beautiful young woman in a silver dress.
The golden-robed old man had a ruddy complexion and wore a golden spiritual beast bracelet on his left hand.
The young woman in the silver dress was tall and fair-skinned, wearing a silver bracelet on her left hand.
Both possessed the power of late-stage Void Refinement cultivators.
"The Golden Falcon Immortals!" Wang Changsheng recognized their identities. He had heard other Void Refinement cultivators mention the Golden Falcon Immortals more than once.
The golden-robed old man was Venerable Master of a Hundred Insects, who cultivated various spiritual insects, among which the Vajra Bugs were the most formidable.
The Vajra Bugs ranked fortieth on the Myriad Insect List. They liked to feed on precious metals and spiritual objects, were impervious to blades and spears, and unaffected by water or fire! They could even devour Profound Spirit Treasures.
Their insect king was already a mid-grade sixth-rank creature; it was unclear how much effort had been invested to cultivate it to this level.
The young woman in the silver dress was Madam Thunder Falcon, who cultivated various spiritual beasts, with the Golden Thunder Falcon being the most formidable, currently a mid-grade sixth-rank creature.
They were dual cultivation partners, possessing immense magical powers.
The fact that they could annihilate four Void Refinement cultivators by controlling their spiritual insects and spiritual birds showed how powerful they were.
Venerable Master of a Hundred Insects performed a hand seal, and hundreds of thousands of Vajra Bugs, carrying four storage rings, flew back.
He found a black beast hide from one of the storage rings, and his gaze swept over it, his joy overflowing.
"Excellent, it truly is a map of the Demonic Abyss Heaven. Heaven is helping us!" Venerable Master of a Hundred Insects said excitedly.
They retracted their spiritual insects and spiritual birds and left the area.
