Chapter 3805: Four-Colored Chaotic Beast

If it were a four-colored Chaos Beast, it would be even harder to eliminate.

By this point, most of the Chaos Beasts had been killed or injured: over twenty one-colored Chaos Beasts were eliminated, five two-colored Chaos Beasts died, and only one three-colored Chaos Beast was killed. Meng Yilong conjured a red cloth bag and collected the corpse of the three-colored Chaos Beast. Gao Bin's face showed joy. The True Immortal cultivators dispatched this time were quite strong, especially Meng Yilong, Wang Qingshan, and Wang Mengbin. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to eliminate a three-colored Chaos Beast so quickly.

"Push harder; eliminate them," Gao Bin shouted.

Just then, a massive golden mushroom cloud appeared on the distant horizon, clearly visible to Gao Bin and the others standing on the city gate. "What is that?" Chen Yueying paused slightly. Sun Ya quickly took out a glittering golden orb, infused it with a spell, and the orb emitted a dazzling golden light. "Oh no, it's Junior Brother Liang," Sun Ya exclaimed in surprise.

No sooner had she spoken than a tall young man in golden robes flew out from the golden mushroom cloud. His right leg was gone, his vital energy was weak, and his face was pale. The young man transformed into a golden streak, heading straight for Haoyang City. At this moment, the Chaos Beasts also spotted the young man in golden robes. A flying two-colored Chaos Beast flapped its wings lightly and pounced on the young man in golden robes. A clap of thunder echoed, and a thick silver lightning bolt streaked across the sky, striking the two-colored Chaos Beast precisely. The beast let out a sharp, piercing shriek. A gleaming golden giant fist descended from the sky, smashing into the two-colored Chaos Beast. The beast plummeted rapidly towards the ground, creating a large crater upon impact.

Other Chaos Beasts attacked the young man in golden robes, and Chen Yueying and the others quickly intervened to block them. A long black river surged and churned, forming a tall black wall that blocked the Chaos Beasts. Just as the young man in golden robes was about to fly into Haoyang City, a phantom image flashed past. The young man cried out, plummeting from high in the sky with a large bloody hole in his chest and a look of terror in his eyes. A miniature Nascent Soul flew out of his body, and a four-colored Chaos Beast with a rat's head, bird's wings, snake's body, and tiger's claws descended from the sky, opening its mouth and swallowing the miniature Nascent Soul.

"A four-colored Chaos Beast!" Gao Bin exclaimed in shock.

A hundred dark figures appeared in the distance, flying rapidly towards them. "Dozens of three-colored Chaos Beasts, and two flying four-colored Chaos Beasts! This is bad, retreat quickly!" Sun Ya cried out. If it had just been three-colored Chaos Beasts, they could have held out for a while with the Level 1 Immortal Formation. But against four-colored Chaos Beasts, they couldn't possibly defend; the young man in golden robes was proof of that.

"Retreat immediately!" Gao Bin shouted, and with a hand seal, all the golden characters flew back into the book. Meng Yilong took out a shimmering three-colored plantain fan, fiercely fanning it towards the void. A large expanse of three-colored flames surged out, heading straight for the Chaos Beasts. At the same time, Wang Qingshan and the others cast spells to attack the Chaos Beasts, buying them some time.

Many cultivators below the True Immortal realm in Haoyang City had entered spatial Xuantian treasures when the Chaos Beast horde appeared, which Gao Bin carried with him. Of course, due to the suddenness of the incident, many cultivation resources could not be taken, resulting in significant waste. Hundreds of Chaos Beasts successively crashed into the blue water curtain. The curtain dented, twisted, and its spiritual light grew dimmer. The massive body of a four-colored Chaos Beast crashed into the city wall, causing the wall to shake violently and a fine crack to appear on its surface.

Before long, the southern city wall was breached, and the blue water curtain dissipated. By then, Wang Qingshan and the others had already put away their immortal artifacts and flown into Haoyang Hall. A faint golden light barrier then appeared, enveloping the entire Haoyang Hall. Four-colored Chaos Beasts descended from the sky, crashing into the golden light barrier, which immediately dented. Other Chaos Beasts swarmed forward, and before long, the golden light barrier shattered. Wang Qingshan and the others had already teleported away, so the four-colored Chaos Beasts found nothing.

In Nine Immortal City, a magnificent golden hall housed multiple teleportation arrays. One of the teleportation arrays glowed with dazzling spiritual light. As the light faded, Gao Bin and over thirty other figures appeared. They all exhaled in unison; teleporting back to Nine Immortal City meant safety.

"Junior Sister Sun, please take Fellow Daoist Meng and Fellow Daoist Wang to rest. I will report to Senior Uncle Du," Gao Bin instructed. Sun Ya assented and led Wang Qingshan and the others out of the hall. Gao Bin approached the entrance of Nine Immortal Hall and respectfully said, "Disciple Gao Bin requests an audience with Senior Uncle Du."

"Nephew Gao, come in," Du Tianhe's gentle voice came from within Nine Immortal Hall. Gao Bin assented and strode inside. Du Tianhe sat on the main seat, his brows deeply furrowed. Qi Shuting and Bai Yishan sat on either side, their expressions grim.

"Senior Uncle Du, two four-colored Chaos Beasts led an attack on Haoyang City. We couldn't hold out and retreated. Junior Brother Liang fled towards Haoyang City, so his city might have been breached," Gao Bin reported.

"I understand. You may leave," Du Tianhe instructed. "Keep your True Immortal cultivators from Haoyang City in order; don't let them wander off. The Chaos Beast horde is quite large, and we'll need their strength later." Gao Bin assented, bowed, and withdrew.

"This is truly strange," Qi Shuting said, frowning with a puzzled expression. "Chaos Beast hordes do attack cities inhabited by immortals, but this frequency is too high! It's rare in a million years." In the past, Chaos Beast hordes often attacked immortal cities. Small beast tides occurred once every forty or fifty thousand years, and large ones every few hundred thousand years. Three small beast tides erupting within one hundred thousand years is indeed abnormal.

"Could it be something caused by Heavenly Venerate Xuanling?" Bai Yishan asked with a frown.

"Probably not," Du Tianhe explained. "There's no evidence pointing to Heavenly Venerate Xuanling. I've asked Fellow Daoist Cao, and he said he would send people to investigate deep into the Chaos Beasts' territory. It hasn't been clarified yet."

"This beast tide is larger than the previous two," Bai Yishan said with some worry. "Even True Immortal-stage five-colored Chaos Beasts have appeared. It's possible that Golden Immortal-stage six-colored Chaos Beasts will emerge later." Haoyang City was relatively lucky. Some cities attacked by five-colored Chaos Beasts didn't even give their cultivators time to escape, and everyone was killed.

"Don't worry, I've already requested aid from the Cao family, Hundred Refinements Island, and the Snow Crystal Clan. I've also sent a message to Senior Sister Jin, who will dispatch another group of Immortals and personally travel to the Chaos Continent. We just need to hold out until reinforcements arrive," Du Tianhe said. If Nine Immortal Sect were to lose several Golden Immortal cultivators again this time, it would lose at least one "Xuan" city, and potentially two. Jin Yulan planned to personally lead a team of experts to the Chaos Continent. Nine Immortal Sect could no longer afford significant losses; otherwise, they would have to return to the North Sea Immortal Realm in disgrace.

Hearing this, Qi Shuting and Bai Yishan breathed a sigh of relief. This was more like it. "That's good. Once Immortal Jin arrives, we should be able to repel the Chaos Beast horde. Before that, we should consolidate our forces and strengthen the defenses of Nine Immortal City and Jiuyang City," Bai Yishan suggested. Qi Shuting strongly agreed. Since this beast tide was larger than the previous two, it made little sense for True Immortal cultivators to stubbornly defend the "Yellow" cities. The losses from the previous two were too great; otherwise, they could have held out for longer. Du Tianhe nodded, agreeing with the suggestion.
