Ye Lingyuan looked at Zi Lingling and asked, "Ling'er, do you have a way?"
Zi Lingling shook her head, her expression solemn. "Not yet!"
Poison?
As Rong Guang had said, the number of beasts to be killed was limited, and they might not have enough poison.
Formation?
The number of demonic beasts was too large. What kind of formation would be needed to cover them all?
Moreover, demonic beasts were different from humans.
While formations could trap armies, they were insufficient against demonic beasts that had low intelligence and only relied on brute force.
"Since there's no immediate solution, then..."
As Ye Lingyuan spoke, killing intent surged from him. "Then let's kill!"
As his voice fell, he had already appeared amongst the divine-level demonic beasts.
Immediately, a large group of divine-level demonic beasts was sent flying by his killing intent.
"Roar! Roar! Roar..."
The roars of the demonic beasts echoed through the wilderness, but Ye Lingyuan's palm strike sent a wave of them flying.
Demonic beasts far from Ye Lingyuan leaped up, while those closer to him fell to the ground, unable to rise, and wailed in pain under the hooves of other beasts.
Those within close proximity to Ye Lingyuan died instantly, their crushed bodies turning into a bloody mess under the trampling of other demonic beasts.
Taking advantage of this palm strike, Ye Lingyuan grasped the Potian Sword.
With the Potian Sword in hand, the slaughter truly began.
"Kill!"
Zi Lingling finally reacted, shouting loudly as her Dragon Scale Dagger appeared in her hand.
At the same time, she, too, appeared amidst the divine-level demonic beasts.
Naturally, she chose a position not far from Ye Lingyuan, allowing them to support each other and advance together.
Xuanyuan Xun, Rong Guang, and Shangguan Yulin also finally snapped out of their shock.
They each took out their weapons and charged into the throng of divine-level demonic beasts.
Xuanyuan Xun wielded his usual long spear, named Ba Wang, imbued with an overbearing aura.
An inch longer, an inch stronger.
In Xuanyuan Xun's hands, the Ba Wang Spear was like a dragon emerging from the sea, spewing spiritual and law power, magnificent and awe-inspiring.
It pierced, thrust, blocked, and stabbed.
With every thrust of Xuanyuan Xun's spear, several or even a dozen demonic beasts fell, lifeless.
Shangguan Yulin's weapon was the magic fan he held.
Point, fan, poke, sweep, wipe, cover, block, intercept, strike, lift, twist, guard...
Shangguan Yulin's series of movements seemed to imbue the fan with life, agile yet lethal.
Furthermore, the spiritual and law power emanating from the fan amplified its power tenfold.
Thus, after each of Shangguan Yulin's moves, several divine-level demonic beasts would fall to the ground, barely breathing.
Rong Guang's weapon was quite unique: a small, entirely black tree.
Though called a small tree, it was about three zhang long, but its trunk was not too thick, fitting perfectly in Rong Guang's grasp.
Rong Guang wielded the small tree in one hand, while continuously scattering poison with the other.
Any divine-level demonic beast struck by the black tree suffered broken bones and torn tendons, their lives extinguished.
Of course, the poison scattered by Rong Guang was also potent, causing poisoned demonic beasts to collapse immediately.
Moreover, other demonic beasts that stepped on these fallen creatures would become wobbly, almost losing their combat effectiveness.
Under the combined effect of the black tree and the poison, Rong Guang's speed in slaying demonic beasts could even rival Xuanyuan Xun's.
Through the relentless efforts of the five, a large expanse of demonic beast corpses appeared on the ground.
Beneath these corpses, a thick layer of shredded flesh was spread.
Blood flowed like a river, and the stench was overwhelming.
Yet, even so, the number of demonic beasts did not decrease; instead, it grew.
Furthermore, stimulated by the scent of blood, the beasts behind became frenzied, charging at the five without fear of death.
One hour!
Two hours!
...
The five fought from day to night, and from night to day.
Their bodies were covered in blood, their arms numb from swinging, forced to mechanically repeat their previous actions.
However, even so, their vision was still filled with an endless sea of demonic beasts.
"Why are there so many divine-level demonic beasts in this Pill Sovereign Secret Realm?" Su Dan Novel Network
Xuanyuan Xun shook his wrist, wiping the beast blood splashed on his face, and asked.
Shangguan Yulin spat and added, "Who knows! I think it would be more fitting to call this place the Demonic Beast Secret Realm instead of the Pill Sovereign Secret Realm!"
Rong Guang looked at his poison-stained fingers and said, "Something seems amiss here!"
"What's amiss?"
Xuanyuan Xun and Shangguan Yulin asked in unison.
Rong Guang shook his head, continuing to wield the black tree. "I can't quite say. Perhaps the Guild Leader and Lord Mingyuan would know."
"Tsk!"
Xuanyuan Xun and Shangguan Yulin both sighed and mechanically repeated their actions.
Zi Lingling threw a "Five Spirits Blast," clearing a large area of surrounding demonic beasts.
She seized the opportunity to approach Ye Lingyuan and said, "Ye Lingyuan, these demonic beasts here are strange."
Ye Lingyuan nodded. "They are indeed strange, as if these beasts can never be truly killed."
Zi Lingling threw another "Five Spirits Blast." "It's not 'as if,' they genuinely cannot be killed! I suspect something in the depths of this secret realm is continuously breeding divine-level demonic beasts!"
"Breeding divine-level demonic beasts?"
Ye Lingyuan exclaimed, "Can demonic beasts be bred?"
Zi Lingling nodded. "Yes, otherwise how do you explain these endless demonic beasts?"
Ye Lingyuan asked, "Then what do you think that 'something' could be, Ling'er?"
"Pills!" Zi Lingling said with certainty.
"Pills?" Ye Lingyuan asked in surprise, "Why?"
Zi Lingling smiled. "Have you forgotten where we are?"
Before Ye Lingyuan could answer, she continued, "This is the Pill Sovereign Secret Realm, the dojo of Pill Sovereign Dan Wuji."
"Pill Sovereign Dan Wuji's alchemy was personally passed down to him by Ancestral God, so it's not impossible for him to breed divine-level demonic beasts with pills."
Ye Lingyuan frowned. "So, that means to completely eliminate these demonic beasts, we must find the pills that breed them?"
"Exactly!"
Zi Lingling said, "Otherwise, we'll exhaust ourselves to death trying to kill them all."
Ye Lingyuan asked, "Even if you're right, how do we get past these demonic beasts and enter the depths of the secret realm?"
Zi Lingling smiled. "Since this is the Pill Sovereign Secret Realm, and these demonic beasts are bred by pills, then to break the current situation, we can only rely on pills."
Ye Lingyuan asked doubtfully, "Then what kind of pills do you think can break the current situation?"
Zi Lingling pondered, a spark of light flashing in her eyes.
