Chapter 3793: Destroying the Chaos Beast

"Or, Fellow Daoist Wang, are you a Spirit Body user? Or a True Spirit?" Meng Tianlei asked, puzzled.

Even Meng Tianmei, using a low-grade immortal artifact, struggled to injure the two-colored Chaos Beast. Wang Qingshan, however, severed several of its sharp thorns with a single strike. This disparity was inherently problematic. Considering how long the Wang family had existed, acquiring a high-grade aperture-opening secret technique wouldn't be easy. Gathering the necessary materials could take an incredibly long time, and success in opening an aperture wasn't guaranteed. Opening an aperture also had a success rate; simply collecting the materials didn't guarantee success. If one failed, they would have to find the materials again.

"I only recently opened my fourth aperture. In fact, I owe it to the auction held by the Nine Immortals Sect, the Snow Crystal Tribe, and Hundred Refinements Island," Wang Qingshan offered as an excuse. He acknowledged that having opened four apertures was not a bad thing. In a place like the Chaos Continent, only sufficient strength commanded respect. Besides, he wasn't the only one who had opened four apertures; Wang Mengbin, Ye Haitang, and Wang Yingjie had all done so. If anyone truly intended to harm them, they had no fear.

Meng Yilong suddenly understood. That auction had been massive, attracting many Immortals. It wasn't surprising that the Wang family could have acquired a high-grade aperture-opening secret technique and materials there.

"If Fellow Daoist Wang were a True Spirit, he could physically contend with a four-colored Chaos Beast at the True Immortal mid-stage. This two-colored Chaos Beast would have been eliminated long ago," Gao Bin said with a laugh. The more colors a Chaos Beast possessed, the stronger its ability to weaken spells and divine abilities, the tougher its physical body, and the more formidable it became. The physical body of a four-colored Chaos Beast was comparable to that of an ordinary True Spirit. However, against True Spirits renowned for their physical prowess, such as Mountain Ape Giants or True Dragons, a four-colored Chaos Beast would still be a step below.

This time, twenty-eight True Immortal cultivators had been dispatched, but only Meng Yilong was at the late True Immortal stage. Gao Bin had initially felt a bit disheartened, but learning that Wang Qingshan had opened four apertures significantly improved his mood. Meng Tianmei, Meng Tianlei, and other cultivators from the Meng family were filled with shock. Even within the Meng family, True Immortal cultivators who had opened four apertures could be counted on one's fingers. Chen Yueying and others looked on with envy; they had opened at most three apertures, and Ci Lei had only opened two. Meng Yilong, as the Meng family's patriarch, had naturally also opened four apertures. But Wang Qingshan was not the Wang family's patriarch.

"Could the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple have opened five apertures?!" A bold conjecture surfaced in Meng Yilong's mind, but he shook his head, dismissing it. Even within the Nine Immortals Sect, True Immortal cultivators who had opened five apertures were rare; only core disciples of the Nine Immortals Sect had a chance to open a fifth aperture. The Wang family had only been established for how many years? Opening a fourth aperture was already extremely fortunate. The Wang family probably didn't even possess the secret technique to open a fifth aperture, and even if they did, gathering the materials for a fifth aperture wouldn't be easy.

"Since Fellow Daoist Wang has opened his fourth aperture, let's proceed to eliminate this two-colored Chaos Beast! How dare a mere two-colored Chaos Beast act so brazenly near Haoyang City!" Gao Bin said with a deep voice, his face full of killing intent. Haoyang City had recently been breached by a horde of Chaos Beasts, resulting in the deaths of many True Immortal cultivators and a significant drop in morale. Encountering a lone two-colored Chaos Beast now presented an opportune moment to establish their power and boost morale.

"Excellent, I was just thinking the same thing," Meng Yilong chuckled. With a flick of his right hand, a crimson orb flew out. He cast a spell, and the orb surged with a large expanse of crimson flames, transforming into an enormous crimson fire python that sped towards the two-colored Chaos Beast. Wang Qingshan and the others promptly launched their attacks against the two-colored Chaos Beast. The beast seemed to sense danger, immediately turned around, and began to flee into the distance.

With thunderous roars, various spells—sword gleams, blade qi, lightning, and flames—struck its body, yet they were like mud entering the sea, having no effect on the two-colored Chaos Beast's escape. Gao Bin manifested a dazzling golden book, into which he injected several incantations. The golden book unfolded in mid-air, and numerous golden characters flew out. With a swift rotation, they transformed into a resplendent golden spear, shooting straight towards the two-colored Chaos Beast.

Despite its massive size, the Chaos Beast was remarkably agile. It shifted its body, allowing the golden spear to narrowly miss, then swept its tail abruptly as more than a dozen glowing immortal artifacts flew towards it. With a series of dull clangs, the more than a dozen immortal artifacts were sent flying back. Gao Bin clasped his hands in a spell, and the golden spear disintegrated into countless golden characters. They suddenly coalesced, forming nine thick golden chains that bound the two-colored Chaos Beast's body.

The two-colored Chaos Beast struggled violently, tugging at the golden chains. A clap of thunder sounded, and a silver lightning pillar a thousand zhang in diameter descended from the sky, striking the two-colored Chaos Beast, which let out a wretched shriek. The two-colored Chaos Beast tore fiercely, breaking four of the golden chains. The remaining five wouldn't hold it for long. A silver light flashed, and a small silver hammer appeared. It surged with countless silver electric arcs, rapidly expanded in size, and then slammed down.

The gigantic silver hammer struck the two-colored Chaos Beast, burying its body into the ground as countless silver electric arcs engulfed it. An agonizing shriek echoed. The ground tore open, revealing an enormous crack, and the gigantic silver hammer flew backward. A crimson fire python lunged forward, crashing into the two-colored Chaos Beast. With a thunderous roar, surging flames engulfed the two-colored Chaos Beast's body, but the flames dissipated at a visible rate.

The two-colored Chaos Beast tore fiercely, breaking all five golden chains, which dissolved into countless golden characters. It then swept its tail, striking the crimson fire python and sending it flying backward. Nine streaks of azure light shot forth—nine glistening azure flying swords—encircling the two-colored Chaos Beast. A sharp, piercing sword hum resounded, and countless fierce azure sword energies shot out, striking the two-colored Chaos Beast. After a series of dull clangs, a large number of golden-red scales fell from its body, leaving it covered in blood.

Even two fists cannot contend with four hands. Facing the attacks of thirty True Immortal cultivators, the Chaos Beast had no power to resist, and its resistance grew weaker and weaker. A swathe of white mist swept over, striking the two-colored Chaos Beast, and its body rapidly froze, turning into a massive ice sculpture. Law of Ice! The area within a radius of ten thousand li froze, and large quantities of white hail plummeted from the sky.

Wang Qingshan clasped his hands in a spell, and the nine Azure Glaze Swords each burst forth with dazzling azure light, transforming into nine azure rainbows that soared skyward, heading straight for the gigantic ice sculpture. The colossal ice sculpture shattered into pieces, and a miniature two-colored Chaos Beast flew out of its body. Gao Bin manifested a white jade bottle and collected the miniature Chaos Beast.

"It's finally resolved," Gao Bin said, his face alight with joy.

Meng Yilong manifested a giant red pagoda, collected the two-colored Chaos Beast's corpse, and flew back to Haoyang City. He cast a spell, and the red pagoda spewed a stream of red mist, causing the two-colored Chaos Beast's corpse to appear on the ground.
