Chapter 1487 – Fight

The Taotie Projection’s eyes were bulged wide open and bloodshot. It was vicious and ruthless. Throwing its head up towards the air, it gave a deafening roar. Every scale on its body suddenly turned scarlet red.

Kaboom!

A thunderous, low-pitched rumble came from its abdomen and the terrifying energy from the Taotie was activated to its peak.

Right at that point, there was a ‘boom’ that came from within the body of the Taotie Projection. Its belly enlarged and bulged out of its body.

The Taotie Projection cried painfully.

Boom!

Another massive explosion came. The enlarged belly of the Taotie Projection could no longer withstand the violent forces in its body and the bloodstained scales started to crack and peel off its body.

At the same time, flesh from its abdomen shot outwards like projectiles and a large hand suddenly reached out of its body. It grabbed onto what was left of the body and then forced its way through it.

The Abyssal Titan had managed to forcibly break through in such a violent and disgusting method!

No…it wasn’t just breaking through. The other hand of the Abyssal Titan grabbed onto the other side of the gaping wound of the Taotie Projection. With a roar, it ripped the body of the Taotie apart, splitting it through the wound.

“Ah!”

Ning Xiao threw his hands up to his head and cried painfully. Blood gushed out of his nose, mouth and ears.

Slap!

A clear sound snapped the air like a bubble bursting and the Taotie Projection disappeared.

The ground shook violently as the space shifted. The Abyssal Titan’s massive body that stretched to the sky fell onto the ground heavily.

Crack crack –

This was the sound of Ning Xiao’s bones and flesh breaking. His body felt like a balloon and it started to grow quickly. Listening to it carefully now, this was the sound of his bones stretching and breaking.

A scary creature that was drenched in blood and did not have any skin used Ning Xiao’s body as a medium to grow.

It was…a real Taotie!

It was not perfect yet but it was very greedy. The flesh and blood of its body possessed a destructive will that wanted to devour everything.

Roar –

𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The Taotie turned to the sky and roared. It glared menacingly at Qin Yu and a wild killing intent circled in its eyes.

Stomping down, it dashed forward at an astonishing speed, arriving before the Abyssal Titan in an instant. It did not hesitate nor slow down to size up its opponent before the two large creatures clashed against each other.

It had abandoned its devouring power and the original Taotie knew that its strength had not been enough to harm the Abyssal Titan. This was evident from it destroying its own projection and coming out to the world.

An angry roar boomed through the area like thunder. Every clash and attack caused the surroundings to shake and twist violently, distorting the earth.

……

A young man wearing a silver robe sat cross-legged and calmed himself down. However, there was an undeniable sense of excitement between his eyes that he could not hide.

He had found a suitable star for himself!

Without wasting any time, the silver-robed young man channeled all his divine sense into this ‘star’.

Buzz buzz –

There was a slight vibration that originated from within the star. A look of ecstasy crossed the young man’s face. It was going to be ignited.

Once he succeeded, his cultivation path would be lit up by this opportunity and he would have the chance to break through to become a Ruler.

All of a sudden, the ground started to shake and it became more violent after a while. The space around him also started to vibrate.

The silver-robed young man’s face changed. With the disturbance, the connection between the star and him was severed.

What was worse was that as the Boiling Mountain Fantasy trembled, the stars started to shift. The young man was about to lose the star.

“No!”

He cried in rage and the silver-robed young man spat out blood. He could only watch blindly as the space in front of him shifted more drastically.

“Who! Who is it!”

The silver-robed young man was fully outraged and he shot into the sky as he shouted in the direction of the disturbance.

His eyes were bloodshot and his fists, hidden beneath his robe, were clenched tight. He swore to himself that regardless of who caused this disturbance, he would die!

Cutting off a man from his road to wealth was similar to killing his parents. To the silver-robed young man, interfering with his ‘star’ was akin to spoiling his entire opportunity in the Boiling Mountain Fantasy.

Such a grudge was far worse than cutting off his road to wealth. The hatred and anger in his heart was immeasurable!

Very soon however, the agitated silver-robed young man’s face turned pale. The part of Boiling Mountain Fantasy he was in was shaking very violently and terrifying waves of force kept washing over. He felt like a mini boat that could capsize any moment.

The anger and killing intent in his heart was washed cleanly away under the menace of the forces. In the end, he stood trembling on the ground in fear.

The young man was also on the list of people to enter the Tomb of the Barbarian King. Yet, he was actually a substitute. When the Imperial Palace confirmed that there was an imposter in the crowd, he was taken in to fill the space.

He actually came from a good background and he did not want to hop into the dirty waters here. However, for all the high ranking folks in the Imperial Palace, the Tomb of the Barbarian King was a well known place. Boiling Mountain Fantasy opened soon after…as the best cultivation ground in the West Desolate, it was virtually a straight path to the realm of the Ruler. Being on the name list was incredibly precious and not everyone had this opportunity.

Eventually, the young man reluctantly accepted the opportunity to be a participant…but now, everything was ruined! Before he could even pick a fight with them, he might accidentally be dragged into the mess and be killed.

He wanted to cry but he had no tears. The young man could only turn and leave dejectedly.

At this point, in many other different locations, other cultivators were doing what the young man did. They retreated backwards and cursed to themselves. They were so unlucky. Why did they enter Boiling Mountain Fantasy with these two idiots?

Boiling Mountain Fantasy was the best cultivation ground for Saints in the West Desolate. Everyone who entered here were pressed for time to cultivate and they did not want to waste a single second.

But these two cultivators came to Boiling Mountain Fantasy to fight each other. They disturbed the calm waters and caused these cultivators to suffer.

The most pitiful thing was that these two idiots were stronger than them.

They weren’t just slightly stronger but much stronger, so much so that the cultivators did not dare to take revenge. They could only shake their heads and leave.

Since they could not pick a fight, they could only hide away. Thankfully, Boiling Mountain Fantasy was large enough…their only wish was that they will be able to find treasures in the time remaining.

……

Blood Flag was also affected.

He frowned and his eyes narrowed as he looked in the direction of the disturbance. He could roughly make out the two figures who were fighting in the distance.

In fact, Blood Flag was more invested in the fight than anyone else and he arrived at the location of the fight.

There was a thin layer of blood light that covered his body and protected him from the terrifying suppression and ripping forces in the air.

This proved how strong Blood Flag was. He licked his lips and his eyes darkened but there was a small fire igniting in them.

Killing powerful cultivators was tempting to him. This was not only driven by his twisted mind but also it was a way for him to improve himself. The more he killed and the stronger his victims were, the greater his gains.

In the end, Blood Flag left after thinking about it carefully.

The reason why was simple. Blood Flag did not have absolute confidence of killing the two men. They obviously had a strong bloodline. Furthermore, they were going to head to Western Barbarian Land soon. It was not a good idea to be injured right now.

Blood Flag turned and left decisively. The space shifted and he disappeared in a flash.

In fact, he did think of being the fisherman who would benefit from the two at odds with each other right now. However, by the time he arrived there, the two had already noticed him.

It was alright for a little peek but if he really wanted to be the last to benefit, the two creatures would ally together to attack him first.

No one here was stupid!

Blood Flag had made a mistake this time. Taotie’s mind and consciousness was already devoured by its desire to kill, it lost any form of reasoning already.

Its only desire was to kill the Abyssal Titan…it had to kill this ancient enemy of his!

On the other hand, although the Abyssal Titan’s bloodline was almost burning, Qin Yu had maintained a thread of his consciousness.

He had been worried when he sensed Blood Flag’s arrival. Ning Xiao had been much stronger than he expected and Qin Yu had not been prepared for Blood Flag’s arrival too.

Thankfully, Blood Flag left on his own accord.

It was easy for Qin Yu to guess why Blood Flag left. At the same time as he felt relieved, he could not help feeling wary of Blood Flag. Only until he was certain that Blood Flag had truly left did he feel at ease.

It was a lucky thing that Blood Flag had been scared away by his own cautiousness or Qin Yu would be in trouble.

However, this also made Qin Yu more wary. The fight had caused too much disturbance. Since Blood Flag came to the scene this time, he could come again soon.

As such, he had to finish the battle as soon as possible and kill Taotie quickly!

Qin Yu could feel a change happening inside the Abyssal Titan’s body now.

No, it should be explained as the body traits of the Abyssal Titan was morphing along with Qin Yu’s Great Dao as the furnace completely refined the Ice Flame.

It felt like a new Great Dao had been formed for the massively large Abyssal Titan.

Qin Yu did not know what this meant but he knew for sure that the Abyssal Titan was stronger now!

Boom!

There was a loud sound as the two beasts suddenly separated. Like a kite whose string was broken off, the Taotie’s body flung backwards without control.

Boom!

The ground shattered beneath the Abyssal Titan’s feet as it took off towards the Taotie and threw a heavy punch at it. The Taotie cried painfully and its body was thrown into the air before it was blasted away.

In the next moment, a blanket of darkness filled the air. Abyssal Titan rose into the air and his body blocked off all light. Then, it slammed heavily onto the ground like a mountain that dropped from the heavens.

Kabam!

A deafening explosion caused the world to crumble apart beneath him.
