At this moment, he fully unleashed his strength.

His figure darted toward the bottom of the lake.

The long sword in his hand pierced straight toward the lakebed.

But when he reached the deepest part of the lake, not only did he fail to find the injured Six-Step True Immortal, but instead, he encountered a massive creature, easily ten thousand feet in size, moving slowly.

Startled, he trembled. As he prepared to flee, the enormous creature suddenly extended a tendril toward him.

Xue Yang didn’t have time to think, raising his sword to slash at it.

But the moment his immortal sword touched the tendril, it shattered instantly.

“Jiu Chen, you really screwed me over this time!”

Xue Yang cursed in his heart and immediately gave up resisting, fleeing for his life.

Because his rising speed was slow, he relied on the water currents, using them to escape.

The tendril of the massive creature only chased him for ten miles before it stopped.

After escaping the range, Xue Yang broke out in a cold sweat.

He now felt a lingering fear.

“Ten thousand feet in size, this body must be ten thousand times stronger, perhaps even more. Aren’t all the Dao Lords in the Twin-Faced God Mountain? How can there be a Dao Lord-level beast here in the Twin-Faced God’s palace?”

While he hesitated, two auras approached from afar—it was Jiang Ni and Jiu Chen.

As soon as Jiu Chen arrived, he asked, “What was that aura just now?”

“You dare to ask me? Wasn’t it the path you told me to take?” Xue Yang responded angrily.

As the tendril moved earlier, it emitted an ancient aura.

Ancient as it seemed, it wasn’t actually that old.

At most, it had existed for a hundred thousand years.

To Jian Wushuang and Xue Yang, that was just the blink of an eye.

Hardly ancient at all.

“I must have sensed it wrong, but it’s indeed the most powerful being in this lake. I thought the strongest creature here wouldn’t surpass the level of a True Immortal. I never expected there to be a Dao Lord-level being!” Jiu Chen took a deep breath.

Xue Yang, still frustrated, said, “Seems like we’re just unlucky. What now?”

Jiang Ni, standing before the two, had little say in the matter.

He left it to the two of them to decide.

Xue Yang was the strongest in battle but wasn’t the quickest thinker.

The burden of strategy still fell on Jiu Chen, who had lived for a long time, perhaps even longer than Xue Yang.

After all, the Lord of Divine Fire’s power was at the demi-god level, stronger than Xue Yang.

Jiu Chen was a true spirit created by the Lord of Divine Fire, and his existence spanned a long era.

Moreover, the Divine Fire Palace was prepared for Jian Wushuang, containing the bodies of realm beasts and the presence of the Grey Jar.

When Jiu Chen had been crafted, the Lord of Divine Fire had evidently poured much effort into him. In terms of consciousness, Jiu Chen was top-tier, no weaker than that of the human race in terms of awareness and comprehension.

Otherwise, how could he have become a cultivator in the Great Perfection stage in just a century?

Jiu Chen’s eyes twinkled, and a new idea emerged in his mind.

“What do you think would happen if we killed that Dao Lord beneath the lake? What treasure do you think Jian Wushuang would give us?” Jiu Chen asked, his tone carrying a hint of madness.

Xue Yang scoffed. “You want to go? Go ahead. That’s a Dao Lord! Unless I control the Origin Source, killing it is nothing short of a fantasy!”

Jiang Ni, uncertain of Jiu Chen’s intentions, added, “That giant beast at the bottom of the lake moves very slowly. Though its tendril didn’t extend beyond ten miles, within that range, it poses a great threat to us. And we can’t be sure that it only has one tendril. It’s far too difficult to deal with. Besides, its body is massive, its defenses must be incredibly strong. It’s beyond our ability to handle.”

“Don’t you want to know why the beast only attacks cultivators within ten miles?” Jiu Chen asked with a smirk.

Even with Xue Yang’s slow thinking, he finally understood and exclaimed in surprise, “You mean, the beast is trapped here?”

“Exactly!” Jiu Chen said smugly. “When I sensed its aura earlier, its strength was only at the level of a Six-Step True Immortal. And given its size and the fact that it only chased you for ten miles, I’m guessing it’s been trapped at the bottom of the lake, its power greatly diminished, with only one tendril left. Its strength is likely only that of a Seven-Step True Immortal. We have nothing to fear. If we kill it, we’ll be rich!”

A savage beast, tens of thousands of feet in size, was very likely a divine beast.

Its value was indeed immense.

They had also seen the divine beasts of the Beast Sect.

If they slaughtered it and refined it into a demon pill, it would certainly benefit them greatly.

More importantly, it could boost their battle achievements, giving them an excuse to ask Jian Wushuang for treasures.

Xue Yang lowered his eyes and sneered coldly, “If you’re after the essence blood and demon pill of this savage beast, I can only say you know nothing about divine beasts. If you’re trying to get some advantage from Brother Wushuang, let me tell you, that man doesn’t care about ordinary treasures. If you need something, he’ll give it to you. There’s no need to fake battle achievements to deceive him.”

“That’s harsh!” Immortal Jiu Chen frowned and said, “What do you mean by deceive? This is called a fight!”

As the two continued to bicker, a blood-red figure suddenly rushed towards them from a distant treetop.

Jiang Ni was the first to notice and shouted, “Stop arguing! I see Xiong Zhan’s figure!”

With that, he was the first to charge ahead.

Seeing this, Xue Yang also hurried forward. Jian Wushuang had specifically instructed him to look after Jiang Ni, and he couldn’t let anything happen to him.

Moreover, Xiong Zhan was a Six-Step True Immortal, and Jiang Ni was no match for him. Naturally, he had to go and help.

Immortal Jiu Chen was about to say something when the two people beside him had already dashed off.

“Wait…”

He sighed and could only follow suit.

Xiong Zhan seemed to ignore the three of them and charged straight toward them.

This scene left Jiang Ni and Xue Yang momentarily stunned, thinking that Xiong Zhan was desperate for a fight. They both prepared to block him.

“Idiots! Look behind me before you attack!” Xiong Zhan roared furiously.

Behind him was a giant serpent, with a diameter of a hundred feet and a length of tens of thousands of feet.

No!

Or rather, it was a giant flood dragon.

The moment Xue Yang saw the flood dragon, he suddenly realized that its tail looked oddly familiar.

At that moment, he connected it to the tentacle…

That wasn’t a tentacle at all—it was the tail of a giant flood dragon.

“My heavens! How are there two savage beasts, both tens of thousands of feet in size?” Xue Yang gasped deeply, ignoring Xiong Zhan’s cursing. He immediately turned around, grabbed Jiang Ni, and fled.

In the distance, Immortal Jiu Chen seemed to be waiting for them. Only when they had fled to his side did he follow them in retreat.

“I was just about to say, the aura behind Xiong Zhan is very similar to that of the savage beast you encountered earlier, but unfortunately, you didn’t listen!” Immortal Jiu Chen shook his head silently.

Xue Yang, gnashing his teeth in frustration, said, “What rotten luck! We encountered two savage beasts, each tens of thousands of feet in size. Didn’t the powerhouses of the Twin-Faced God Palace all go to Twin-Faced God Mountain? Why is there still a Dao Master here, and not just one, but two savage beasts at the Dao Master level? Does the Twin-Faced Buddha not care about these savage beasts?”

As he grumbled, Xiong Zhan, who was fleeing beside them, interjected, “You outsiders know nothing! This is a Qishen Serpent, and beneath it is a Qishen Tortoise. When the original Palace Master created this place, he sealed the tortoise and serpent here. Who would’ve thought that the restriction would break at this time, and they’d escape? My luck has truly run out!”
