Chapter 2790: Ancient Giant

After all, it was a seventh-tier high-grade demonic beast, and a mutated one at that, so its strength could not be underestimated. It had not yet transformed into human form, remaining a beast. Its strength was considerably inferior to that of a transformed late-stage Integration-form great demon. With Wang Changsheng and his four companions working together, subduing this beast was only a matter of time.

Niu Pan's right palm glowed with dazzling golden light, and a thick golden lightning bolt shot out, heading towards the silver sound wave. The golden lightning bolt collided with the silver sound wave. It was like an egg hitting a rock; it instantly disintegrated, vanishing into scattered points of spiritual light.

A fierce cold wind raged, and countless white snowflakes drifted down from high altitude. They were swept together by the cold wind, condensing into a white iceberg hundreds of zhang tall, which slammed towards the silver sound wave. With a muffled "bang," cracks appeared on the surface of the white iceberg. It ultimately shattered into countless white ice shards, but the silver sound wave continued straight towards them.

"Be careful," Liu Qingfeng warned, "this is a mutated demonic beast; do not underestimate it." Wielding his azure long saber in a vertical slash, a vast azure saber aura swept out, striking the silver sound wave and shattering it to pieces.

Seizing this opportunity, the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros transformed into a streak of yellow escape light and flew away, showing no intention of continuing the fight. The seventh-tier high-grade mutated Silver-Horned Rhinoceros had not yet transformed into human form, but its intelligence was not low. It seemed to know it was no match and fled immediately.

The void rippled as countless blue water vapors emerged, forming a vast azure hand that slapped towards the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros. Before the colossal hand could descend, a powerful spiritual pressure enveloped them. The nearby void tightened and warped.

After advancing to the Integration stage, Wang Changsheng's strength had significantly improved. Even without using his great divine ability, the Qilin Immortal-Slaying Hand, the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros would have a tough time if it took a direct blow from him.

The Silver-Horned Rhinoceros's single horn emitted a dazzling silver light. When the colossal hand touched the silver light, it disintegrated and vanished as if it had never existed. A dazzling golden light shot forth; it collided with the silver light and also vanished.

A man's loud roar, echoing through the heavens and earth, rang out, spreading across tens of thousands of miles. Song Yunlong's brows furrowed, and his eyes were filled with apprehension.

The Silver-Horned Rhinoceros was completely unaffected, its rank evident. It let out a strange roar, and a colossal phantom rhinoceros appeared high in the sky, exuding an aura that looked down upon all directions. The phantom rhinoceros's right hoof stomped towards the void, causing it to ripple. A colossal yellow hoof shadow appeared above Wang Changsheng and his four companions. Even before it descended, the nearby void twisted and warped, seeming on the verge of collapse.

Dazzling golden light emanated from Song Yunlong's body; it was the Pure Yang Divine Light. The Pure Yang Divine Light collided with the yellow hoof shadow, and a puff of smoke rose as the yellow hoof shadow slowly disintegrated and vanished.

As the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros attempted to unleash other attacks, a white light flashed in the void above its head. A small, glowing white brick materialized out of thin air. Its spiritual energy was astonishing; it was clearly a low-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure. The small white brick emitted dazzling white light and rapidly expanded in size. A wave of intense cold energy surged out, slamming towards the phantom rhinoceros. Before the colossal white brick could descend, an astonishing chill enveloped the area, and a large amount of white ice shards appeared in the void.

The phantom rhinoceros's eyes each shot out a yellow light, hitting the colossal white brick. The white brick rapidly petrified, transforming into a massive yellow stone brick. It then spewed a silver sound wave, which struck the yellow stone brick. The yellow stone brick developed tiny cracks, ultimately shattering into countless particles of dust.

A low-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure was destroyed just like that. From this, it could be seen that the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros also possessed a petrification divine ability, making it not to be underestimated. Xue Ji's willow-like brows furrowed. Fortunately, she had kept a contingency in mind, using a low-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure for the test. Had she used a mid-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, while it might not have been destroyed, its spiritual essence would have been severely damaged. A seventh-tier high-grade Silver-Horned Rhinoceros could easily destroy a low-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, but it would not be so easy to destroy a mid-grade one.

A golden light flashed, and a thick golden lightning bolt materialized out of thin air, striking the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros precisely. It was like a mere tickle. A loud thunderclap echoed from high in the sky, and the golden thundercloud rolled violently. Tens of thousands of golden lightning orbs successively rained down. However, upon touching the silver light released by the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros, all the golden lightning orbs disintegrated. Its single horn possessed a spell-breaking divine ability. If refined into a heavy treasure, it would undoubtedly be a formidable weapon. If attacked with spells, the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros's horn could break them. If attacked with treasures, its petrification divine ability would likely destroy them.

This was truly troublesome, as expected of a mutated demonic beast.

Just then, a two-zhang-long azure long saber shot forth without warning, striking the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros's body — it was the Soul-Slaying Blade! The Soul-Suppressing Roar couldn't affect the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros, but the Soul-Slaying Blade was different; it directly attacked the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros's sea of consciousness. The Silver-Horned Rhinoceros's body trembled slightly, letting out a pained roar. The silver light from its horn dispersed, and a vast azure saber aura swept over, striking its body.

With a muffled thud, a long bloody gash appeared on the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros's body, so faint that it would be imperceptible without close inspection. The phantom rhinoceros opened its maw, spewing a cloud of yellowish mist that swept directly towards them. A rumbling thunder echoed from high above, and thousands of golden lightning bolts descended from the sky, piercing into the yellow mist. When the yellow mist dispersed, the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros was already a thousand miles away.

"Chase it, don't let it escape!"

Liu Qingfeng put away the Dingchuan Nail and led the pursuit, with Wang Changsheng and the other four following closely behind. After fleeing fifty thousand miles, the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros flew towards the ground. If it could burrow underground, it would escape.

"Stop it!" Liu Qingfeng roared, wielding his azure long saber. After an ear-piercing saber hum resonated, tens of thousands of vast azure saber auras swept out like an endlessly surging azure river, heading straight for the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros.

The ground began to freeze, and the ice layer spread rapidly, freezing hundreds of miles in all directions. Dazzling silver light surged from the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros's single horn, and a thick layer of yellow earth armor appeared on its body, protecting it completely. The dense azure saber auras touched the silver light and once again vanished without a trace. A portion of the azure saber auras struck the ground, causing hundreds of mountaintops to explode.

Niu Pan was about to unleash a divine ability to attack the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros when the ground began to shake violently, as if something was about to emerge. Wang Changsheng and his five companions were greatly startled, their faces filled with wariness.

More than a dozen mountaintops began to move, slowly ascending into the sky. A colossal figure, three to four hundred zhang tall, appeared before them. Its body was covered in mysterious yellow spiritual patterns, and its features were extremely ugly. On its head was a colossal yellow eyeball, within which some yellow spiritual patterns could be discerned.

"An Ancient Giant!"

Liu Qingfeng was greatly startled. He had not expected to encounter an Ancient Giant here. The moment the Ancient Giant appeared, its rough yellow hand slammed towards the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros. Simultaneously, an unbearable gravitational force surged from the ground, warping and distorting the void.
