Chapter 478 - 274: Xiaobai vs. Ancient Magical Beast_2
In their view, beasts like Poisonous Bee Beast and Corpse-Eating Beast, strictly speaking, could also be called Demon Beasts.
But soon someone explained that the gap between them is significant. Demon Beasts are born with Demon Bodies, different from the natural Immortal Bodies of Spirit Beasts and Demon Beasts. This Demon Body is born with terrifying power.
Moreover, once the demonic nature erupts, it becomes uncontrollable, losing all reason completely.
In the arena, Lin Chen was quite surprised to see the Red-Eyed Beast.
Lin Chen had previously guessed whether the Demonic Power possessed by Xiaobai could be the true power of a Demon Beast.
However, this answer had once been explained by the Great Elder.
Divine and Demonic Power cannot be judged by common sense, as the power of Divine and Demonic Power predates the origin of Taichu.
Rumor has it that back then, there were only two races between heaven and earth: the Immortals and Demons.
Both immortal techniques and demonic techniques were merely ways to tread on the great path through cultivation.
The referee also glanced at the Red-Eyed Beast with fear; Yin Shi had just transmitted to him that if the Red-Eyed Beast couldn’t suppress its demonic nature, it could be executed on the spot.
"Are both sides ready?!" the referee asked.
As soon as the words fell, the Red-Eyed Beast and Xiaobai almost simultaneously nodded.
The referee spoke again, announcing the start of the match, and at that moment, the Red-Eyed Beast shot off the ground. The next second, it disappeared from the ground, like a red residual shadow, darting straight toward Xiaobai’s position.
...
"So fast!"
The audience exclaimed when they caught sight of the residual shadow.
Xiaobai, upon seeing the Red-Eyed Beast attacking, immediately entered its evolution form and quickly initiated Iron Horn Impact, utilizing acceleration to dodge the attack.
The Red-Eyed Beast’s attack missed, and it immediately flipped and jumped, using inertia to detach from the ground, leaping to pursue Xiaobai.
This series of movements left everyone stunned; the Red-Eyed Beast was one level higher than Xiaobai. However, this level difference didn’t determine victory because the audience knew Xiaobai was skilled in surpassing levels.
But the combat skills displayed by the opponent were indeed astonishing.
The Red-Eyed Beast attacked for a second time, while Xiaobai was still in the Iron Horn Impact phase. Seeing the opponent advancing, Xiaobai quickly countered with a kick.
Soul-Calming Hoof.
Unexpectedly, the Red-Eyed Beast was completely fearless, directly bypassing the shockwave of Soul-Calming Hoof, continuing its attack.
Yin Shi and others were dumbfounded upon seeing this scene.
Demon Beasts are born with Demon Bodies. It’s said that this Demon Body is inherently tough, able to ignore many attacks.
Now, it appears to be true.
Xiaobai, realizing its counterattack was ineffective, immediately activated Tier Four Barbaric Bloodline, while the Red-Eyed Beast showed no sign of dodging, launching a punch.
Xiaobai directly collided head-on, using the impact force from Iron Horn Impact.
The next second, both beasts flew backward, but the Red-Eyed Beast’s arm had already snapped.
"Hahaha, overestimating oneself, daring to clash with Niu Niu’s horn."
"Indeed, everyone knows the power of Niu Niu’s move."
"Demon Beast? Just so-so."
The audience laughed at the sight, realizing it was just a false alarm—the opponent was merely boasting.
The Undying Phoenix and other Demon Kings also stared at the Red-Eyed Beast below, bewildered.
This Ancient Magical Beast, really?
Its power was far inferior to the Little Scorpion King.
To their surprise, the Red-Eyed Beast didn’t lower its waist, kicking its broken arm into the air and then consuming it.
Everyone felt a chill because consuming one’s own kind’s flesh is a forbidden act by the Heavenly Dao, not even attempted by the Demon Race.
The next moment, a terrifying event occurred—the Red-Eyed Beast’s arm regenerated.
"Revival Force...."
Lin Chen frowned; although he knew the match wasn’t simple, the abilities displayed by the opponent seemed rather excessive.
...
After regaining its arm, the Red-Eyed Beast closed its eyes.
Yin Shi and the Great Elder frowned.
The Red-Eyed Beast’s unique power stems from its eyes.
Sure enough, when the Red-Eyed Beast opened its eyes in the next second, its right eye changed.
World-Burning Red Eye, open!
A mass of destructive fire emerged from its pupil, encircling the Red-Eyed Beast, eventually forming a black-red coat around it.
The Red-Eyed Beast launched a second attack on Xiaobai, this time with greater terrifying speed. Due to the fiery coat, the path it took towards Xiaobai was scorched earth.
At this moment, it rushed towards Xiaobai like a small fire entity.
Everyone assumed it was once again a melee attack, but unexpectedly, the Red-Eyed Beast suddenly halted mid-air, vigorously swinging a fist.
At that moment, a fiery fist shot out, like a falling star, charging towards Xiaobai.
Xiaobai took a rapid step back, unfazed, foreleg lifting high again.
Soul-Calming Hoof.Illusion Spirit!
The fiery fist collided with Soul-Calming Hoof.Illusion Spirit; a roar sounded, slightly shaking the arena.
Looking back at the stage, everyone was astonished to see the Soul-Calming Hoof.Illusion Spirit burning to death.
"This flame...."
Someone’s pupils contracted—this wasn’t ordinary fire.
Xiaobai watched helplessly as its Soul-Calming Hoof.Illusion Spirit failed to stop the opponent, shocked, not daring to delay, quickly retreating.
Using the acceleration from Iron Horn Impact, Xiaobai agilely adjusted its form, trying to dodge the formidable fiery fist.
However, the Red-Eyed Beast seemed to perceive Xiaobai’s every step, precisely predicting its retreat path, ghostly rushing in again.
Lin Chen felt a sudden ominous premonition upon seeing this, his heart rate instantly increasing.
Xiaobai initially intended to fight the Red-Eyed Beast, but at that moment, a strong sense of crisis surged.
Almost simultaneously, Lin Chen’s urgent shout rang out: "Xiaobai, enter Divine Demon Frenzy State!"
Xiaobai didn’t hesitate, letting out a heaven-shaking roar, its surrounding aura surging instantly.
Demon Bull descended, enveloping Xiaobai with its massive figure. Just at this critical moment, the Red-Eyed Beast had already arrived; Xiaobai’s horn clashed again with the opponent’s fiery fist.
Frighteningly, the Demon Bull’s Illusion Spirit started to burn!
....
"What sort of fire is this?"
Everyone was shocked.
If Xiaobai hadn’t entered the Divine Demon Frenzy State with the protection of the Demon Bull’s Illusion Spirit coat, Xiaobai would likely have been burned.
This is Divine and Demonic Power, yet the opponent could break it.
Yin Shi sat on the stage, watching the scene unfold.
Of the countless fires in the world, only a few can burn Divine and Demonic Power.
"Could it be...."
Yin Shi recalled an old legend.
During the Taichu period, a cultivator once said that the power associated with the origin of heaven and earth is the most mighty force in the universe.
What is meant by the origin of heaven and earth?
It is the power left from the beginning of the cosmos, where all things were born.
In terms of flame, they collectively refer to this origin fire as Heavenly Fire.
"It shouldn’t be." Yin Shi shook his head, dismissing his own thought.
If what the Red-Eyed Beast demonstrated was Heavenly Fire, Xiaobai should already be dead.
However, the Red-Eyed Beast has already shown signs of evolving...
"This creature must not be spared." Yin Shi secretly resolved.
If it survives off the stage, Yin Shi must find a way to kill it.
Demon Beasts inherently resist change, otherwise, the alliance between the Human Race and Demon Race wouldn’t have happened historically.
As everyone was stunned, the fight on stage entered a heated phase. Xiaobai and the Red-Eyed Beast battled for several rounds on the arena; no one expected it.
That day, Xiaobai easily defeated the Little Scorpion King with Divine Demon Frenzy State.
But now, against the Red-Eyed Beast, entering Divine Demon Frenzy State was only the beginning.
"It hasn’t opened its other eye yet...."
Many spectators were worried.
Knowing the source of the Red-Eyed Beast’s power, everyone understood that it still had spare strength.
As expected, upon seeing that prolonged attacks didn’t work against Xiaobai, the Red-Eyed Beast retreated a great distance.
It gazed at the Demon Bull Illusion Spirit on Xiaobai, fists clenched, eyes closed, roaring angrily at the sky.
At this moment, its body began to crack open, with a surge of blood gushing out.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
Why is the Red-Eyed Beast suddenly injured without reason?
Just then, the Red-Eyed Beast opened its left eye.
Sun-Consuming Red Eye, open!
