Chapter 4183: Forbidden Immortal Stone (Out of Stock Today)

A wide and narrow canyon, barren of vegetation, revealed a humanoid skeleton with a storage bracelet on its right bony hand.

A red streak of light flew from a distance. As it passed over the canyon, the figure within lost control and plummeted towards the valley floor. The light receded, revealing a shapely young woman in a golden dress, a late-stage Golden Immortal.

The young woman's face flushed crimson. Her body felt impossibly heavy, as if weighing billions of pounds, making even a single step arduous.

The ground trembled faintly. A seven-colored Chaos Beast, in a bestial humanoid form, strode forward with cold eyes.

"Run! Weren't you so fast before? Why aren't you running now?" the seven-colored Chaos Beast sneered, striding towards the young woman.

The powerful physique of the seven-colored Chaos Beast rendered the gravity restriction completely ineffective against it.

In moments, it stood before the young woman.

The young woman's expression turned grim. A crimson glow emanated from her body, but it was futile; the gravity restriction held her firmly in place. Had she not cultivated into an ordinary True Spirit, her body would have been crushed by the restriction long ago.

"Don't kill me..."

Before the young woman could finish her plea, the seven-colored Chaos Beast delivered a crushing punch to her head, pulverizing it.

A miniature Nascent Soul flew from her body, likewise restrained by the gravity field, and was promptly consumed by the seven-colored Chaos Beast.

"My luck seems to be holding," the Chaos Beast mused.

The seven-colored Chaos Beast collected the young woman's possessions and devoured her corpse. It then approached the humanoid skeleton and retrieved the storage bracelet.

Chaos Beasts are unable to access the contents of storage bracelets themselves, but they can hand them over to False Immortals who can retrieve items and equip them.

The seven-colored Chaos Beast then strode away into the distance.

Half an hour later, it emerged into a lush green bamboo forest.

The ground suddenly ruptured, and several sharp red saber energies surged forth, striking the seven-colored Chaos Beast precisely. A dull clang of metal on metal resounded, yet not a single cut mark was left on its hide.

A mass of crimson light flared behind it, revealing a massive ape-like puppet beast. It possessed six thick arms, each clutching a gleaming red long saber, and a pair of red iron wings on its back.

The ape puppet beast swung its six arms, striking the seven-colored Chaos Beast with its red long sabers. A series of dull thuds echoed, leaving no visible marks, though the Chaos Beast's body visibly shuddered.

"A soul immortal artifact, damn it!"

The seven-colored Chaos Beast cursed under its breath. Soul-type immortal artifacts were its most detested foes; while ordinary mid-grade immortal artifacts struggled to inflict serious harm on Golden Immortal-level Chaos Beasts, soul-damaging ones proved notably effective.

It swung its right fist, smashing it towards the ape puppet beast.

The ape puppet beast was sent flying backward but quickly righted itself. It opened its gaping maw, from which points of silver light emerged, coalescing into a thick beam of silver lightning that instantly struck the seven-colored Chaos Beast.

The seven-colored Chaos Beast crossed its arms, blocking the attack. The silver lightning struck its forearms, grazing its skin and leaving faint trails of blood.

With a flash of golden light, a glowing spherical orb appeared without warning directly above the seven-colored Chaos Beast.

Before the seven-colored Chaos Beast could react, the golden orb detonated, releasing a pungent golden powder that settled onto its body.

Immortalbane Dust!

This was a peculiar poison developed by the Wang family's Alchemy Hall. Besides containing the eight-million-year-old Soul-severing Flower, it also incorporated the crystal core of a Golden Immortal-stage six-colored Chaos Beast, specifically designed to target the soul. While typical exotic poisons had limited effect on Chaos Beasts, those that attacked the soul proved more potent. The golden powder landed on the Chaos Beast's wounds and quickly absorbed into its bloodstream.

Another thick bolt of silver lightning shot forth, striking the seven-colored Chaos Beast and adding more blood trails to its surface.

The seven-colored Chaos Beast charged towards the ape puppet beast. Points of silver light surged from the puppet beast's mouth, and another thick beam of silver lightning shot out, striking the seven-colored Chaos Beast.

After enduring three blasts of silver lightning, the seven-colored Chaos Beast finally reached the ape puppet beast. With a gentle flutter of its red iron wings, the puppet beast vanished from its position.

In the next instant, it reappeared a hundred miles distant.

The ape puppet beast continuously spewed bolts of silver lightning. While the seven-colored Chaos Beast initially managed to evade them, it soon realized with horror that its own soul was dissolving. Sensing danger, the seven-colored Chaos Beast turned and began to flee into the distance.

A crimson glow flared, and the ape puppet beast materialized, blocking the seven-colored Chaos Beast's escape.

The ape puppet beast blasted another thick silver lightning bolt from its mouth while its six arms swung their long sabers at the seven-colored Chaos Beast. A series of metallic clangs erupted, making the Chaos Beast's body tremor. It retaliated with a mighty right punch to the ape puppet beast's chest, causing it to dent inward and sending the puppet flying backward.

The ape puppet beast quickly righted itself, its chest already restored to normal. While Chaos Beasts possessed astonishing destructive power, some refining materials in the Immortal Realm had self-healing properties, allowing for gradual repair unless severely damaged.

The ape puppet beast's chest had been reinforced with Soul-Shaping Divine Clay, an exceptional material for crafting defensive mid-grade immortal artifacts, which Wang Qingfeng had acquired with considerable effort.

The seven-colored Chaos Beast found itself entangled by the ape puppet beast, unable to escape.

After approximately fifteen minutes, the seven-colored Chaos Beast's reactions grew increasingly sluggish, its soul clearly suffering severe damage. The ape puppet beast's six arms swung their red long sabers, finally managing to sever the seven-colored Chaos Beast's head.

A golden light flared on the ape puppet beast's chest, revealing a ten-foot-wide opening from which Wang Qingfeng emerged.

With a single gesture, two storage bracelets flew into his hand. A gentle shake of his wrist, and after two streaks of light, a large pile of items appeared on the ground.

Among the bounty were Immortal Elemental Stones, Primordial Stones, Chaos Beast crystal cores, and immortal medicines. Wang Qingfeng also discovered an exquisite green jade box adorned with a golden, shimmering talisman.

He peeled off the talisman and opened the lid. A dazzling golden light erupted, revealing a pale golden jade stone inside. The stone had small, delicate perforations on its surface and felt substantial in his hand.

"A Binding Immortal Stone!"

Wang Qingfeng exclaimed in surprise. A Binding Immortal Stone, when refined into an immortal artifact, could imprison a specific area, with the scope of confinement determined by the artifact's grade. A Binding Immortal Stone could even be crafted into a high-grade immortal artifact, given sufficient refining expertise.

There were also nine mid-grade immortal artifacts, all offensive in nature.

Wang Qingfeng gathered all the items from the ground, retrieved the Chaos Beast's corpse, and departed from the area.

Beyond, a towering, steep peak rose into view, its summit constantly illuminated by countless thick, multicolored lightning bolts.
