The vast ground was densely covered with colossal single horns. Suddenly, the earth trembled, and clumps of soil were pushed aside, revealing a throng of congested Thunder Sacred Light Rhinos.
The spirit beasts stomped their hooves wildly, their bloodshot eyes fixed on the surrounding cultivators.
The sect disciples who had retreated to the protection of the crimson-green spirit net nearly bulged their eyes out!
“How can there be so many sacred beasts? Are we dreaming?”
The rising roars told everyone they were not dreaming; such a multitude of sacred beasts had appeared out of nowhere.
Lin Qingyu’s expression was the most grim. “These sacred beasts are all real spirit beasts.”
His words were ambiguous, but Bai Shengyi, Qian Ying, and Yue Bufan immediately understood.
Sacred beasts, with their potential only second to divine beasts, would not fall into demonic corruption. Furthermore, the Thunder Sacred Light Rhino was a creature of good omen. They were also not gregarious creatures. In the three thousand years of the Divine Revelation World, their presence had only been recorded by cultivators five times.
This made it entirely conceivable that so many corrupted Thunder Sacred Light Rhinos must have been cultivated through unconventional means, and such means would certainly not be above board.
The Thousand Demon Pavilion, the greatest sanctuary for spirit beasts and divine beasts in the Divine Revelation World, had not even discovered how the demonic cultivators had achieved this.
Lin Qingyu let out a clear, resonant cry from his throat in anger. His form transformed into a gorgeous, dazzling phoenix, and he swoiled towards the group of Thunder Sacred Light Rhinos on the ground!
*Bang bang bang!*
The immense airflow stirred by the phoenix’s wings instantly fanned away five or six Thunder Sacred Light Rhinos!
“Kill!”
Lin Qingyu shouted fiercely. His body, like a streak of light, summoned raging flames. The moment the vibrant, bright red flames touched the Thunder Sacred Light Rhino, it let out a rough scream and turned into a wisp of smoke.
“These spirit beasts are all at the Mahayana stage; they can be killed,” Yue Bufan said, swinging his sword and knocking over a patch of Thunder Sacred Light Rhinos. He then addressed Bai Shengyi within the massive pillar of thunderlight, “Ayi, retract your net and let the little brats get some blood on their hands.”
In Yue Bufan’s opinion, Ayi was simply too protective of these young ones!
They were all several times older than Ayi, yet they still needed Ayi to protect them; it was useless!
Without Yue Bufan’s prompting, Bai Shengyi had already retracted the net. It wasn’t for any other reason than the lightning that was trapping her and Senior Sister Qian Ying was like free lightning, bombarding the two of them incessantly. It gave her an electrifying jolt, and with a twitch of her hand, the net could no longer hold.
“Damn it!” Qian Ying reached out, feeling a singed hair, and even smelled the burnt odor on herself. She was utterly furious. “Ahhh! Junior Sister, let’s quickly kill this smelly bug!”
“You’re the smelly bug!” The Thunder Sacred Light Rhino angrily spat out another large mass of lightning.
Qian Ying swung her long sword forward, but as soon as it touched the lightning, she shivered from the electric shock.
“Damn it!”
This lightning truly made one incredibly irritable.
Not only was Qian Ying agitated, but Bai Shengyi was also not calm. However, she had been struck by heavenly tribulations several times before, so while the lightning was uncomfortable, it was somewhat bearable in comparison.
Bai Shengyi’s clear and beautiful eyebrows carried a resolute coldness. The jade-green brush in her hand suddenly drew a graceful arc in the air.
The arc was exceptionally beautiful. Upon closer inspection, it formed the characters for “bow and arrow.” As the brush stroke fell, it transformed into a jade-green great bow that landed in Bai Shengyi’s hand.
She raised her hand, nocked an arrow, and her spiritual power formed the sharpest arrow.
It whistled and tore through the air!
*Crack!*
The pillar of lightning that tightly encased Bai Shengyi and Qian Ying let out a crisp cracking sound and shattered inch by inch.
The Thunder Sacred Light Rhino clearly did not expect its innate ultimate move, the Lightning Domain, to be pierced so directly. It said incredulously, “You’ve already reached the Void Comprehension Realm?”
If one were not in the Void Comprehension Realm, how could they so easily break its Lightning Domain?
But the Divine Revelation World was merely a small world where the path to immortality had been severed. How could anyone have advanced to the Void Comprehension Realm?
The Thunder Sacred Light Rhino’s large head was filled with large doubts, but neither Bai Shengyi nor Qian Ying would provide an answer. They would only seize its weakness to claim its life.
“Spring Hong First Sword, Blooming Flowers!”
“Vermillion Bird’s Fire, Burn it!”
The two spoke in unison, their techniques unleashed together, spiritual light erupting. They directly forced the Thunder Sacred Light Rhino to its knees with a *plop*, letting out a shrill cry.
Its single horn had been severed once again!
Bai Shengyi coldly watched it writhe in pain on the ground, yet still fixed its fierce and terrified gaze upon her. She curled her lips and sneered, “Are you wondering why I could completely sever your horn?”
“Indeed, your current horn has become a reservoir for demonic corruption, storing a large amount of demonic energy and malevolence. At critical moments, it can even protect your life. But do you know what we righteous cultivators lack the least? Divine Fire!”
*Sizzle!*
A small ball of flame ignited at the spot where the horn had been severed. Instantly, the Thunder Sacred Light Rhino’s cries became even more agonizing, as if its soul were being burned.
“So that’s how it is! No wonder I always thought it smelled foul!” Qian Ying covered her nose and added disdainfully, “Junior Sister, but isn’t it a Void Comprehension Realm spirit beast? Why does it seem so useless?”
Ever since its horn was severed, this massive Thunder Sacred Light Rhino had become like a pathetic little piglet, most of its ferocity gone.
The weak flame, as if asserting its existence, heard Qian Ying’s words and surged exceptionally high, instantly engulfing the Thunder Sacred Light Rhino’s entire body!
This flame was not any kind of divine fire but the spiritual fire from Bai Shengyi’s dantian spirit root. For some unknown reason, this flame’s power to restrain demonic corruption was no less than that of flames like Dragon Chasing Starfire.
Just now, for example, although the Vermillion Bird Divine Fire summoned by Qian Ying also burned the Thunder Sacred Light Rhino, as soon as Qian Ying waved her hand, the Vermillion Bird Divine Fire disappeared, unlike this spiritual fire which burned ceaselessly.
Qian Ying glanced at the spiritual fire thoughtfully and then extinguished several more Mahayana stage Thunder Sacred Light Rhinos with a wave of her hand.
Bai Shengyi said, “I suspect it’s because its Void Comprehension Realm cultivation wasn’t achieved through its own efforts but was forcefully boosted by someone injecting a large amount of demonic energy into its horn. Therefore, only its innate divine abilities are powerful. Once the horn is severed, it becomes docile.”
Qian Ying found Bai Shengyi’s analysis very reasonable, as she had slain several more Thunder Sacred Light Rhinos and discovered that as long as their horns were severed, their strength would significantly decrease.
Qian Ying immediately transmitted this information to everyone.
Before long, more than half of the Thunder Sacred Light Rhinos were eliminated.
This area was filled with a mist of blood. The smell of腥甜,熏臭, and various pungent odors permeated the nostrils, making the dim yellow world terrifying, like the end of days.
However, Bai Shengyi and the others dared not be careless.
Qian Ying whispered, “Ao Ming and the others should be making their move soon.”
Having dispatched so many demonic beasts to expend their energy, the demonic cultivators would certainly not miss this opportunity to attack them.
Bai Shengyi’s gaze shifted. “How about we do something big?”
