Atop Heavenly Secret Peak, the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

  “This is… the aura of a peerless beast?”

  Overlord, Tang Yimo, and the others spoke up. How could they be unfamiliar with this aura? Back then, in the battle against the beast Liu Ying, they had nearly perished.

  Thus, they had a profound impression of the beasts’ power and presence.

  Mo Tianyu pinched his fingers to divine, frowning.

  “Dantai Mo Jie is cunning—he actually possesses a method to subdue beasts for his own use!”

  “Back when Young Master Lu battled the Upper Realm sacred clans, many imperial weapons fell into Five Phoenixes. Though Young Master Lu collected the weapons themselves, the ancient emperor auras within activated the beast nests laid out by those ancient emperors.”

  “However, even with ancient emperor auras, these beasts shouldn’t have formed so quickly… Thus, Dantai Mo Jie used human fortune as the foundation, merging it with ferocious and killing intent to nurture peerless beasts…”

  Mo Tianyu divined it all with one calculation.

  Overlord, Tang Yimo, and the others changed expressions slightly.

  “He’s insane!”

  Tang Yimo couldn’t help saying.

  How terrifying and oppressive was the calamity brought by the beast Liu Ying back then?

  A single beast’s emergence—not just destructive power, but the demonic beasts spawned from its aura’s influence!

  Feeding beasts with fortune—what folly!

  “Tyrant, despot… utterly stupid!”

  Overlord’s face cold—couldn’t help cursing.

  Lu Mudui shook his head—he hadn’t expected things to develop like this.

  “The Demon Clan King’s Court army and rebel alliance—facing such beasts, no resistance… directly routed.”

  Lu Mudui said.

  “Dantai Mo Jie’s cultivation isn’t weak now. He clearly calculated that we support the rebels behind the scenes—thus won’t surrender quietly.”

  The gathered crowd grew stern.

  Overlord shook his head: “This fellow… more tyrannical and ruthless than the ancient Yuwen Xiu.”

  “But does he think relying on beasts can change his fate?”

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  Then, everyone moved—streaking skyward as beams of light.

  Previously, intervening was tricky.

  But with Dantai Mo Jie summoning beasts as allies—they could no longer watch. Now justified to join.

  …

  Xitong Pass—the first pass from the western domain to the capital.

  A centuries-old fortress—tall and majestic, walls towering with the breath of ages.

  Now, before the pass.

  A peerless beast seven to eight zhang in size hovered.

  A creature with countless chaotic tentacles—an enormous eyeball rolling with eerie malice.

  Atop the pass tower.

  The golden-armored personal guard ordered to hold stood hands behind back.

  Beside him—a small cauldron.

  This peerless beast released from it.

  The golden-armored guard fanatical—he nurtured by Dantai Mo Jie’s golden blood, similar to the beasts in some way.

  Watching Demon Clan King’s Court and rebel alliance rout—he couldn’t help laughing wildly.

  Fortunately, His Majesty foresaw—ordering them hold passes first.

  Otherwise—with the garrison commander’s lack of resistance—the army might reach the capital in days.

  The peerless beast ravaged.

  Each slender tentacle lash tore terrifying ravines in the earth.

  This beast too powerful—its aura as though to destroy heaven and earth.

  Most terrifying—the mental fluctuations from its great eye—annihilating all.

  Beast emerged.

  Demon Clan King’s Court and rebel alliance—even one step untaken—directly collapsed in chaos.

  No courage to fight.

  Boom!

  Suddenly—heavens thundered with astonishing roar.

  Torrential demonic qi surged.

  The towering Overlord stepped through the air, arriving step by step.

  Tang Yimo, Nie Changqing, and others followed—hovering in the skies.

  Atop Xitong Pass—the golden-armored guard heart jolted. Raising head—seeing legendary Five Phoenixes cultivators like Overlord—greatly shocked.

  “Tyrant unvirtuous—colluding with beasts, eroding human foundation… deserves death!”

  Overlord coldly declared.

  He streaked as light—directly charging!

  Thud!

  Terrifying aura spread—demonic qi surging. Overlord like god-demon wielding axe and shield—clashing with the giant-eye beast.

  The beast whipped tentacles—each strike shattering void.

  “This beast possesses profound immortal combat power—though weaker than Liu Ying!”

  Resisting a strike—Overlord judged its strength.

  This giant-eye beast indeed peculiar—fused with human fortune, immensely powerful—yet inferior to Liu Ying.

  Perhaps related to fortune amount fused.

  This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

  Tang Yimo moved too.

  He and Overlord long coordinated—fighting the beast vividly.

  Tang Yimo directly opened six veins—facing peerless beast, no underestimation or holding back.

  End it quick—finish early!

  They couldn’t slay weak cultivators—damaging fortune, no benefit.

  But slaying such beasts—fortune blessing. Naturally joyous.

  Three tore void—entering extraterrestrial battlefield.

  Battle intensely fierce—heavens seemed color-changed.

  Dense Demon Clan and rebel alliance—heads raised watching.

  Xitong Pass garrison too.

  To breach Xitong Pass—must slay this beast. Otherwise… conquering Great Xuan difficult.

  This battle—decided war’s direction.

  Extraterrestrial battlefield.

  Overlord and Tang Yimo demonic qi torrential—combined unleashing world-shaking slaughter.

  Dual-gripping axe—demonic qi coiling like dragon.

  Tang Yimo purpled—horizontally spanning, one punch—void exploding.

  Half-step profound immortals—far stronger than against Liu Ying!

  Their fortune vast—nearly river surging.

  Giant-eye beast roared.

  Each tentacle lash—terrifying might.

  After all—profound immortal-level beast.

  Saint-realm combat power!

  Overlord withstood each lash—face icy.

  He tanked—Tang Yimo using physical bursts’ speed closing—delivering fatal strikes.

  “This beast’s attack weak—far below Liu Ying… If not for decent defense—hardly true profound immortal level.”

  Tang Yimo hair whipped by shockwaves—landing beside Overlord.

  Overlord withstood repeated assaults—eyes solemn.

  “Indeed dull—end this.”

  Overlord said.

  Next instant—Tang Yimo body nearly blood-red—veins bulging from skin.

  Eight Meridians Dunjia!

  Boom!

  Form tore void.

  Overlord moved too—Dao Intent… Unyielding!

  Enduring so long—accumulated power—at this moment fully erupted!

  Two rainbows in extraterrestrial battlefield—coiling world-shaking might.

  Giant-eye beast—at this moment seemed utterly insignificant!

  As though annihilated beneath the two coiling rivers.

  Yet…

  Giant eyeball reflected scenes.

  Then…

  Pupil shifted—three water-drop shapes rapidly spinning.

  Powerful mental fluctuation spread.

  Humm…

  Unique mental wave.

  Thud! Thud!

  Tang Yimo and Overlord bodies jolted.

  Their robust qi-blood and power—at this moment lost control.

  Tang Yimo directly fell from six veins—auras weakened.

  Overlord’s unyielding assault—weakened under mental disruption, unyielding will scattered.

  Weakened strikes smashed giant-eye beast body—tentacles exploding one by one.

  Giant-eye beast roared—chaotic, disordered, tyrannical mental waves constantly assaulting.

  Overlord and Tang Yimo grunted—three tearing battlefield, returning Five Phoenixes.

  Battle—both sides injured.

  …

  Before Xitong Pass.

  Atmosphere extremely grave.

  Suddenly.

  Void tore.

  Giant-eye beast ferocious/killing intent with fortune surging—exploded tentacles rapidly regenerating—reemerging.

  Overlord and Tang Yimo pale—tumbling from battlefield.

  All gasped coldly.

  Overlord and Tang Yimo combined… failed to take the giant-eye beast?!

  Ni Yu—Little Yinglong atop head munching fruit watching drama—handed pills to Overlord and Tang Yimo.

  They accepted—swallowing.

  “This beast has unique powerful mental attack… slightest carelessness—primordial spirit damaged, soul shattered!”

  Overlord said.

  Beast’s physical body not strong—but mental attacks truly troublesome.

  Atop Xitong Pass.

  Golden-armored guard seeing battle outcome—ecstatic joy.

  Clenching fist—waving sky, fanatic roar.

  …

  Great Xuan Divine Dynasty—imperial capital.

  Dantai Mo Jie bathed in golden light—skin beneath golden blood flowing—gradually impacting body, faint thunderous roars.

  As though heavenly dao aura circulating.

  “Physical body reaching saint realm…”

  Dantai Mo Jie eyes gleamed myriad brilliance.

  Golden blood too powerful—true treasure!

  In short time—from ordinary unable to cultivate—to current immensely powerful cultivator.

  “One day—I shall emperor over the world!”

  Dantai Mo Jie laughed.

  Then—loose comfortable robes—ascending court.

  Current court—utterly oppressive. New batch officials—daring not breathe.

  Tyrannical killer—they dared not provoke.

  Low-key service sufficed.

  Soon—attendant brought frontline report.

  “Report to Your Majesty—Xitong Pass battle news: King’s Court and rebel alliance routed. Overlord Xiang Shaoyun and Body Sect Tang Yimo—two half-step profound immortals combined against divine beast. Divine beast’s might vast—overwhelming both… divine dynasty great victory!”

  Attendant excitedly proclaimed.

  Dantai Mo Jie eyes narrowed—beckoning, report paper flew to hand.

  Glancing—couldn’t help laughing loudly.

  Worthy of profound immortal-level beast—even legendary true immortals like Overlord and Tang Yimo defeated.

  Six passes—six peerless beasts—like impenetrable walls!

  Capital guarded by fortune-fused Cloud Venom Vulture.

  Dantai Mo Jie felt no worries.

  Laughter echoed court.

  Officials exchanged glances—many cultivation force leaders below flattered.

  Dantai Mo Jie restrained laughter—eyes gleaming, heart stirred.

  Current him—momentum peaked.

  Physical body saint realm—controlling seven peerless beasts—life’s summit!

  “I need an empress worthy of me!”

  Rising—sleeve flick, resolute voice exploding.

  Now Great Xuan—seven peerless beasts guarding—no rear concerns.

  Time for long-desired deed.

  Wearing ornate robes—golden gleaming.

  Capital gates opened—carriage procession high-profile departing. Amid capital folk’s timid gazes—grandly toward Buzhou Peak.

  Buzhou Peak base.

  Now sealed by Dantai Mo Jie—only pro-Great Xuan cultivation forces cultivated beneath Heavenly Dao Tree.

  As Dantai Mo Jie’s procession arrived.

  All immersed cultivators rose—standing respectfully sides.

  Dantai Mo Jie cradled small cauldron—sweeping glance. Seeing cultivators’ reverence—satisfied.

  Descending carriage.

  Head raised—gazing endless Buzhou Peak—eyes excited.

  Cradling cauldron—he dismissed all attendants. One man, one cauldron—toward summit.

  Bluestone path—crisp sounds echoed.

  Again reaching midway.

  Suddenly—terrifying suppression descended.

  Yet the Buzhou Peak demoness appeared.

  Dantai Mo Jie’s joy barely surfaced—next instant, girl’s lashes trembled—slowly opening eyes.

  All between heaven and earth—at this moment dimmed.

  Buzhou Peak’s heaven and earth—day and night shifting.

  Yin-yang qi surged.

  Forming massive millstone grinding down.

  Da da da da da da da…

  Pfft!

  Dantai Mo Jie couldn’t even resist—body as though ground, countless explosions. Pale golden blood splattering. His proud saint-realm body—at this moment fragile as paper.

  Without chest golden blood releasing energy shielding.

  Likely… gone.

  Peak base below.

  All stared dumbfounded.

  Watching triumphant Dantai Mo Jie roll down like limp meat—twitching mouths.

  Golden blood released vast energy.

  Soon—Dantai Mo Jie blood-drenched stood.

  Fearfully glancing Buzhou Peak.

  Buzhou Peak demoness… too terrifying!

  Cannot… provoke.

  Nearby—Heavenly Dao Tree imperceptibly trembled.

  Yet this loss—Dantai Mo Jie couldn’t swallow.

  With golden blood aid—injuries somewhat recovered.

  Then—took small cauldron.

  Roar!

  Howl exploded.

  Bloody mist blurred.

  Peerless beast Cloud Venom Vulture released from cauldron.

  Terrifying baleful aura filled heaven and earth.

  Heavens seemed blood-colored at this moment.

  Cloud Venom Vulture spread wings—vast body, baleful eyes tyrannical.

  In Dantai Mo Jie’s excited gaze.

  Cloud Venom Vulture furiously charged Buzhou Peak.

  Thud!

  Earth quaked, mountains shook—rivers surged.

  Cloud Venom Vulture collided Buzhou Peak.

  Nearly snapping peak in half.

  Yet soon—Buzhou Peak: Candle Dragon silhouette emerged—vast, overlooking Cloud Venom Vulture.

  Sharp tail suddenly whipped.

  Heaven and earth changed color.

  Smack!

  Cloud Venom Vulture blood feathers flying—whipped wailing miserably, deeply embedding earth.

  Streaking light—returning to Dantai Mo Jie’s small cauldron.

  Dantai Mo Jie inhaled deeply—at this point, restrained arrogance.

  This Buzhou Peak demoness… too terrifying!

  “Cloud Venom Vulture peerless beast—fortune fused. Profound immortals acting lose fortune… Why Buzhou Peak demoness unaffected?!”

  Dantai Mo Jie dared not linger—hurriedly returned capital.

  Came triumphant—left dejected.

  Momentum seemed heavily struck.

  Unbeknownst—this… merely beginning.

  …

  Due to Xitong Pass matter.

  Mo Tianyu divined—calculating something. Bare-chested, headed northern snow plains.

  Found Meng Haoran seated atop snowy peak.

  Haoran Sect seceded Great Xuan—now secluded northern snow plains. Each great scholar like snowflake—pure unstained.

  “Junior Uncle.”

  Meng Haoran sensed Mo Tianyu’s arrival—bowed greeting. Knowing intent.

  Led Mo Tianyu deeper snow plains—finally meeting secluded Kong Nanfei.

  “A peerless beast excelling in mental attacks?”

  Kong Nanfei eyes narrowed.

  Expression deeply complex.

  “Great Xuan Divine Dynasty… colluding with beasts. Truly tired of fortune?”

  Kong Nanfei disheveled scholar robes—leading hundreds scholars—departed.

  Scholars streaked sky—soon reaching Xitong Pass.

  Outside Xitong Pass.

  Giant-eye beast hovered—tentacles whipping.

  Mental fluctuations spread—forming domain.

  Any approaching powerhouse—mind disordered.

  Even Overlord and Tang Yimo—helpless.

  Kong Nanfei arrived—sensing giant-eye beast, feeling mental assault domain—laughed loudly.

  Took wine—gulped fiercely, bold spirit rising.

  “Mere vile creature—dare rampage!”

  Step forth.

  Righteous qi surged—like long river beneath feet.

  Coiling hundreds Haoran Sect scholars he brought.

  Scholars white robes snow-like fluttering—sternly facing.

  Hundred scholars spoke simultaneously—righteous river surging beneath, as though treading clouds—righteous eternal, clashing giant-eye mental impact.

  Kong Nanfei step by step ascended clouds.

  Eloquent—verbal denunciation.

  Hands behind back—reciting “Song of Righteousness.”

  One qi suppressed giant-eye mental assault from spreading…

  Even making giant-eye bleed.

  Overlord, Tang Yimo struck simultaneously.

  Terrifying slaughter erupted.

  Giant-eye beast roared—yet physical body not strong—how withstand? Tentacles exploded one by one.

  Finally—alive beaten to burst by Overlord and Tang Yimo!

  Exploding energy impacted Xitong Pass walls—shaking loose stones.

  Tower-standing golden-armored guard—with giant-eye beast death—wailed, brow cracking, blood evaporating, primordial spirit withered—miserably dying, falling tower.

  Xitong Pass—breached!

  News reached capital.

  Just returned from Buzhou Peak Dantai Mo Jie—couldn’t help angrily coughing blood.
