Immortality from Taming Elephant

Xu Guang walked through the mountain valley, sensing the environment around him while slowly immersing his Heart Spirit in the Killing Tower.

This tower was his reliance for now.

There was residual Holy Power from the Thousand Kills Saint Monarch on it, enough to activate it about five times.

Finally, the monotonous environment before him changed, countless demon thoughts gathered into a lake, black as ink, like a Demon Thoughts Lake.

Xu Guang dared not venture deep; he sensed danger from the lake’s surface. The demonic coral, for some reason, could not absorb the demon thoughts from the lake, as if it was not purely composed of demon thoughts, but fused with something even more terrifying.

He walked around the lake.

In the thick fog, Xu Guang took out a bronze Compass, its location points slightly flickering.

This Compass obtained from Chen Yue seemed ordinary on the outside but was actually a Semi-Saint artifact, capable of perfectly locating positions in chaotic regions.

In the Fire Domain, it was as helpful to Xu Guang as a Holy Artifact.

"It seems we’re not far from where the Saint who brought out the Refining Pattern Master’s legacy is located."

In this valley, it’s unknown if there are any living people; Xu Guang has at least walked a thousand miles without finding any signs of life activity.

It is as if this place is a complete wasteland.

After walking along the black lake for dozens of miles, Xu Guang stopped, looking at the silent bronze Compass in his hand.

This should be the place, but I wonder what form the strange thing formed from the residual thoughts of that Saint will take, and what Divine Techniques it might have.

Thump...

Thump...

Thump...

Suddenly, a sound arose.

Like the heartbeat of some massive creature, akin to the beating of drums.

The most crucial thing was not just the sound, but its location, seeming to come from near to far.

Xu Guang instinctively looked down but found nothing unusual.

With some sense, he slowly raised his head.

Before him, the space suddenly collapsed, and a massive black maw full of unloading force shot up from the void.

It lunged at Xu Guang.

Xu Guang’s Power spurred, soaring into the sky, diagonally flying towards the right.

As he soared, he finally saw the full appearance of the creature.

A strange-looking monster roared in the mist.

Overall, it resembled the centaur from ancient legends but exuded an evil and grotesque vibe.

It had three heads, positioned not all on the neck, but one on the neck, one on the chest, and one on the tail, with the neck head resembling a bull, the chest head a pig, and the tail head a snake, replacing the position of a tail, swaying slightly behind.

The one that attacked Xu Guang earlier was the head located at the tail.

Its entire body was black, with different heads but identical eye color, all white.

Whoosh!

Xu Guang’s toe touched a force-point above, narrowly dodging the snake head’s surprise attack at the centaur’s tail.

Three pairs of eyes, all pale and pupil-less, simultaneously locked onto Xu Guang.

"Roar—!"

The bull head roared first, deep and thunderous, its sound waves carrying substantial demon thought impact, tearing open a fan-shaped gap in the surrounding fog.

Xu Guang felt his Divine Soul tremble, recognizing the sea where the demon coral swayed, its dark purple light flowing, neutralizing most of the impact, yet the remaining shock still caused his blood to churn slightly.

Almost simultaneously with the bull head’s roar, the snake head moved!

Quick!

Faster than Xu Guang had anticipated!

Even though the snake head’s earlier surprise attack hinted that this head excelled in swift assaults, Xu Guang couldn’t have guessed its speed would be so terrifying.

The snake neck flicked, and the snake head penetrated thirty zhang of space, opening its large mouth covered in fine reverse teeth, targeting Xu Guang’s throat!

Without sound, without warning, as if it was meant to be precisely in that spot.

Suspicion sounded crazily in Xu Guang’s heart, and the Five Emperor Dharma Body shadow instantly manifested behind him, the Five-Colored Divine Light converging and forming a rapidly spinning, chaotic light shield before him.

"Hiss—!"

The snake head collided violently with the light shield, producing a teeth-grinding scraping noise.

The chaos light shield trembled violently, its surface revealing a dense network of cracks, pushing Xu Guang backward by more than ten zhang, his feet carving deep furrows in the dark red soil.

Such strong penetration!

Such speed!

If not for the Five Emperor Dharma Body’s profound defense, and Xu Guang maintaining high vigilance, this strike could have directly pierced through his protective Gang Qi.

The snake head missed its strike and retracted suddenly, as if it had never attacked. Xu Guang dared not relax at all, as the bull head’s attack followed closely!

The massive black body inclined slightly forward, bull head lowered, two curved horns aimed at Xu Guang, charging fiercely!

This charge lacked any flamboyance, only the purest "force"!

As it passed, the air was squeezed into clearly visible white shockwaves, the ground’s dark red soil rolling like waves to both sides; before it got close, the overwhelming sense of pressure already made Xu Guang’s breath hitch.

Can’t take it head-on!

Xu Guang retreated again, simultaneously sealing with both hands.

"Five Emperor Turntable, Suppress!"

The Five Emperor Dharma Body shadow shone brightly, the Five-Colored Divine Light detached from the Dharma Body, rapidly spinning and merging in front of Xu Guang, transforming into a massive disk with a diameter of about one zhang, flowing with chaotic-colored light, rumbling as it turned, meeting the bull head’s charge.

Boom—!!!

The chaotic disk collided fiercely with the bull head’s horns!

In the deafening boom, the explosive energy turbulence swept outward like a flood from a broken dam.

The chaotic disk groaned under great strain, its surface crisscrossed with cracks, yet it did not shatter, stubbornly resisting the bull head’s charge.

Xu Guang tasted sweetness in his throat, suppressing the churning of his blood, he manipulated the disk to turn counter suddenly, projecting a force of unloading and deflection, surprisingly altering the bull head’s charging direction by a few degrees.
