Chapter 4542: Enemy Encountered, Eyes Burning Red (No More Today)

The Immortal-Slaying Valley was a desolate grassland under a gloomy, gray sky. Fine cracks were visible in the sky, creating an oppressive atmosphere.

Wang Qingshan, Wang Qingling, Wang Mengbin, and Wang Qingxiao walked slowly forward, their faces filled with caution. They were following the route map of the Reclusive Primal Chaos Immortal, searching for Immortal Monarch Jade Talisman's secluded cave dwelling, but had not yet reached their destination.

The Immortal-Slaying Valley was a notoriously dangerous place in the Immortal Realm. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had visited before, but this was the first time for the four of them, so they dared not be careless.

Wang Qingling frowned slightly. She pointed her right index finger at a spot in the void, and a powerful gust of wind shot out.

A ghostly shadow appeared, radiating immense spiritual qi of the underworld. It possessed the cultivation level of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. A black halo flew straight towards the ghostly shadow. The shadow exhaled a gust of yin wind, meeting it head-on.

A silver light glowed above its head, revealing a shimmering silver ring that settled onto the ghost's body. Wang Mengbin cast a spell, and the silver ring erupted in dazzling silver light, releasing countless silver electric arcs that engulfed the ghost's body. The ghost let out a series of shrill wails, and blue smoke rose from its body, making it appear ethereal.

The powerful gust of wind and the yin wind collided, annihilating each other.

Wang Qingling flickered and appeared before the ghostly shadow. A black halo emerged from her right hand – the Law of Divine Soul – enveloping the ghost. The ghost let out a desperate shriek, its body trembling incessantly. She employed a secret divine soul technique to search the ghost's soul.

"It came from somewhere else. It was also a cultivator in its life," Wang Qingling stated. The black halo erupted in dazzling black light. The ghostly entity shrieked and transformed into a yin pearl.

She collected the yin pearl, and the four continued their journey.

After crossing the desolate plain, a steep peak appeared before them.

"According to the map, we'll find the ancient cultivator's cave dwelling by crossing this mountain and heading to a small valley," Wang Qingxiao said, holding a green beast skin map showing mountains, water, and some marked locations.

"Let's speed up! Let's break the restrictions and retrieve the items as soon as possible, to avoid any complications if we delay," Wang Qingshan said.

They walked towards the peak, not moving very fast.

Before long, they had crossed the peak. Ahead lay a dense black forest. According to the map, passing through this black forest would lead them to the ancient cultivator's cave dwelling.

The four of them walked towards the black forest, still not moving very fast.

After walking about a hundred paces, Wang Qingshan frowned and said, "Be careful of the ground below." As he spoke, a brilliant green light erupted from Wang Qingshan's right hand. He slashed towards the ground, and a sharp green sword qi swept out, striking the earth. The ground tore open, revealing a wide, long crack.

Wang Qingxiao stomped his right foot heavily on the ground, and a white halo swept out, causing the ground to rapidly freeze.

A bipedal, beast-shaped nine-colored Chaos Beast burrowed out from underground. The white halo swept over its body, instantly freezing it. However, the nine-colored Chaos Beast quickly emitted a dazzling nine-colored spiritual light from its surface, melting the ice. It held a black spear in its right hand and charged straight at Wang Qingshan.

At the same time, a nine-colored Chaos Beast resembling a falcon flew in from a distance, while a wolf-headed, human-bodied nine-colored Chaos Beast and a nine-colored Chaos Beast resembling a porcupine charged from another direction.

"Kill them all, leave no one," the wolf-headed Chaos Beast commanded coldly. When enemies meet, their eyes blaze with fury. Since they encountered Grand Unity Golden Immortals of the Wang family here, there was naturally nothing more to be said.

The porcupine-like Chaos Beast's body swayed slightly, and dozens of sharp black quills shot out from its body, flying straight towards the four Wang family members. Each quill was comparable to a high-grade immortal artifact.

The four Wang family members naturally knew the formidable power of this porcupine-like Chaos Beast and dared not confront it head-on.

"Let's finish this quickly; deal with them as soon as possible," Wang Qingshan said. He cast a sword spell, and seven immortal-light-shimmering flying swords shot out, transforming into a sky full of sword shadows to meet the approaching foes.

Wang Mengbin cast a spell, and a heaven-shaking thunderous roar erupted from high in the sky. Massive silver lightning pillars streaked across the sky, striking down at the four nine-colored Chaos Beasts.

Wang Qingling released Wang Meng, Wang Que, and Wang Xing, who merged with her. A pair of red bird wings grew from her back, her hands transformed into dragon claws, and her body became translucent, like a soul entity.

A dazzling white light erupted from Wang Qingxiao's right fist. He threw a punch, and a piercing sonic boom echoed through the void, which twisted and deformed, creating numerous cracks. A giant white fist flashed out, heading straight for the four Chaos Beasts.

A series of deafening explosions rang out. Various immortal lights illuminated the sky with immense power. Powerful shockwaves tore through the void, where many cracks became visible.

A golden halo radiated from Wang Qingling's body, flying straight towards the four nine-colored Chaos Beasts. At the same time, she said, "You must be very tired after traveling all this way to the Immortal-Slaying Valley. Go ahead and rest!"

Upon hearing this, two of the nine-colored Chaos Beasts immediately felt an intense wave of drowsiness. They quickly recovered, but three streaks of light shot over, instantly appearing before them.

"Oh no, it's a physical body divine ability! Dodge quickly," the wolf-headed Chaos Beast commanded. It had evolved three times, and the falcon-like Chaos Beast had also evolved three times. The other two nine-colored Chaos Beasts had only evolved twice. If the Wang family's Grand Unity Golden Immortals had cultivated their immortal bodies, the twice-evolved Chaos Beasts simply couldn't withstand them.

The falcon-like Chaos Beast quickly activated its Chaos Battle Armor, intending to go and provide support. A silver lightning bolt flashed, and Wang Mengbin appeared, wielding a lightning-wreathed halberd, charging straight at it. The nine-colored Chaos Beast opened its mouth and spat out a blue sonic wave, heading directly for Wang Mengbin. The halberd easily shattered the blue sonic wave and struck the nine-colored Chaos Beast's body. Its body was immediately sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.

The wolf-headed Chaos Beast attempted to intervene, but a seven-colored giant sword, shimmering with immortal light, shot towards it. Wherever it passed, the sky collapsed, the earth sank, and tsunamis and gales raged, creating a tremendous display of power. With no other option, the wolf-headed Chaos Beast could only wield its black saber and meet the attack.

The black saber clashed with the seven-colored giant sword, emitting a dull clang of metal on metal. The seven-colored giant sword was sent flying back dozens of feet.

At this moment, three streaks of spiritual light also pierced the heads of the two other nine-colored Chaos Beasts, and they collapsed.

"You've all cultivated immortal bodies!" the wolf-headed Chaos Beast exclaimed, its voice filled with surprise.

"Hmph, so what if they have immortal bodies? We haven't only evolved twice," the wolf-headed Chaos Beast scoffed, its tone full of disdain. It strode towards Wang Qingshan. Its Chaos Battle Armor's defense was extremely strong; even a high-grade immortal artifact refined with a Primordial Spirit Treasure wouldn't easily break through it.

"Seventh Brother, Qingxiao and I will handle it. You and Mengbin deal with the other nine-colored Chaos Beast!" Wang Qingling said.

Wang Qingshan nodded and controlled his flying swords to attack the other nine-colored Chaos Beast.

"The Law of Divine Soul! You actually control the Law of Divine Soul too!" the wolf-headed Chaos Beast exclaimed, sensing the divine soul fluctuations emanating from the black halo.
