From time to time, the divine beast Reverse Halberd was like a never-ending machine. Sometimes, it would combine into a hundred-mile-long giant beast, and sometimes, it would separate into train carriages.
Rebellious Halberd Blackscale's attack was very simple. He would just use his body to ram, ram, ram!
Such a simple and crude method of attack had reaped great results. After all, his body was extremely sturdy, and he was able to calmly face the attacks of over a thousand people. Others could not harm him, but if they were to collide with him, the consequences would be disastrous.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Xia Fei and the others quietly broke away from the battle and quickly escaped into the distance. The demon warriors no longer cared about Xia Fei. Their backbone, Szzesny, had already left at some point, so they were all in a state of panic and helplessness.
Very soon, Xia Fei brought the three ladies away from the fiery red valley and left them at the foot of a mountain.
"Alright, you guys wait here. I'll go back and take a look." Xia Fei said in a deep voice. He glanced at Blacky and Whitey and said, "I'll leave this to you two."
The little black parrot nodded repeatedly in agreement. He knew that Xia Fei was still thinking about what Szezny was looking for. Without Moon Song and Xiao Yu by his side, Xia Fei could easily go into battle and figure out just what the other party was plotting.
Grabbing Xiao Yu's hand, Xia Fei anxiously said, "Head east; I'll catch up to you guys."
Before anyone could answer, Xia Fei had already disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only a long trail of dust.
…
After settling Xiao Yu and the others down and instructing the black and white birds to guard them, Xia Fei returned to the battlefield with Furball.
Pa!
Xia Fei opened his spatial ring and reconnected with the old demon lord.
"What are you doing? Why did you suddenly close the ring? "Oro asked, somewhat vexed.
Xia Fei did not explain too much to him, only telling him that two of his old friends' personal Divine Beasts had suddenly appeared, and he was afraid that they would discover Ouro.
"It looks like I really can't keep you by my side. It's very unsafe. If they decide that I'm colluding with the Demon Race, that'll be a very serious crime. It might even implicate the Skywing Clan," Xia Fei said with a frown.
The old demon lord appeared to be very happy. Xia Fei had finally made up his mind to kill him, which meant that he could finally be reborn and have a complete life once more.
After a pause, the old demon lord solemnly said, "Let's make it clear. I'm naturally very happy that you're willing to let me go ahead of time, but don't you dare play any tricks and use that blood-sucking demon blade of yours to kill me."
Xia Fei was taken aback. "Does that mean the Blood Crystal has an effect on you, too?"
"Of course!" Oro's face was ashen. "If it weren't for the Blood Crystal, you wouldn't have been able to kill Kane. After all, he also cultivates the Law of Life. Even I wouldn't have been able to escape from the Blood Crystal. That demonic blade is just too strange."
Xia Fei had never imagined that the Blood Crystal would actually be effective against a major character like the old demon lord Oro, but this was also good news. In the future, if he were to encounter an old monster like Oro who had cultivated to the point of immortality, Xia Fei would have a way to make him disappear without a trace.
* Whoosh ~ *
As he spoke, Xia Fei had already returned to the red valley. He saw countless demon warriors lying dead on the ground, and there were less than a hundred who were still putting up a last-ditch resistance. They were surrounded by the Divine Beast Reverse-Halberd Blackscale, like ants on a hot pan.
Sweeping his gaze across the battlefield, Xia Fei discovered that the instigator of all this, the Law Emperor of the Xuan Pearl Clan, Szesny, had long since disappeared.
"Crap! We've been tricked! " Xia Fei sternly said. "Be it the demon warriors or us, we've all been used as bait by Szesny. That bastard might have already taken advantage of the chaos to get what he wants!"
Oro nodded and said, "It's very possible. Perhaps this red valley is his destination, and he brought us here to attract the attention of that strange big guy."
Xia Fei gritted his teeth, feeling somewhat indecisive.
The strangest place was the densely packed caverns in the red valley. If there really was some treasure hidden here, these caverns would undoubtedly be the ideal location. Logically speaking, Xia Fei should have been able to track it down, but that big, machine-like monster was right in front of him, and it would be easy to enter its lair but difficult to come out.
All of a sudden! Just as Xia Fei was thinking this, the ground began to shake violently as if a subway was speeding beneath him!
"It's here!" Xia Fei exclaimed, using all his perception abilities to observe his surroundings.
* Kaboom! *
A huge body burst out of the ground beneath Xia Fei's feet!
This was just a section of Reverse-Halberd Blackscale's body. It had no head, and its structure was very simple. It was like a giant steel pipe flying out!
"Falling Leaves of Autumn's Demise!"
Xia Fei knew very well that he would have to fight this monster sooner or later. Since the Blood Crystal could not pierce through its body, he could only use the Law of Primal Chaos!
His palm technique was like the wind, and Xia Fei quickly retreated as he retaliated with a palm!
* Bang! *
There was a dull thud, and several cracks that could not be seen with the naked eye quickly spread across Reverse-Halberd Blackscale's body.
"It's working! The Law of Primal Chaos is truly not something he can withstand! "
Xia Fei was startled, and he retaliated with another three palm strikes! They seemed gentle, but they contained the power to topple everything!
Reverse-Halberd Blackscale was not like other Divine Beasts. Even if Xia Fei broke his bones and snapped his tendons, he would not let out a scream. He continued to rumble, like a train that would never stop, relying on his powerful body to continue moving forward.
Every high-level Divine Beast or Holy Beast had their own specialty. Just like how Furball could devour energy and use it, Reverse-Halberd Blackscale relied on his monstrous ability to resist attacks to dominate!
Wounding Reverse-Halberd Blackscale was far from enough, for he had over a thousand sections of his body. Wounding just one section was not enough to threaten his life!
The rumbling train suddenly began to pick up speed. It was as if Xia Fei's attack had enraged the Divine Beast.
* Bang bang bang! *
Several dozen sections of his body appeared at the same time, surrounding Xia Fei and slamming into him!
This was truly a bizarre sight. A human being being chased by a train? Even in the movies, such a scene would be rare!
Falling Leaves of Autumn's Demise was a technique from the Law of Primal Chaos. Though it could injure Reverse-Halberd Blackscale, it could not be used repeatedly. After all, it consumed a lot of stamina. After absorbing the essence of several Law Emperors, Xia Fei's seventh brain region had accumulated quite a bit of energy, but he planned to save it for a critical moment.
Furball howled as he charged at a section of Reverse-Halberd Blackscale's body. He wrapped his body in energy and then slammed into it like a cannonball!
* Bang! *
The Holy Beast and Divine Beast were sent flying in different directions. It seemed that Furball had met his match! Reverse-Halberd Blackscale's body was so tough that not even Furball could take him down.
Xia Fei relied on his agility and speed to dodge left and right, Peacock Blue acting as his protective umbrella. Five blades of grass extended, turning Xia Fei's right arm into a giant octopus that he could control as he pleased.
Xia Fei was completely capable of protecting himself from harm, but he had no way of killing this monster. For a moment, the situation was in a stalemate.
Suddenly!
Divine Beast Reverse-Halberd Blackscale was stunned. He seemed to sense some mysterious summoning from underground, and a section of his body desperately burrowed downward!
"Not good! Szesny's movements must've been discovered, and the monster must've realized that there's danger in his nest, so he's rushing back to provide reinforcements! "Oro analyzed.
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback. This was a very reasonable explanation.
Szesny had used the warriors to attract the Divine Beast's attention, and then he had dived deep into the earth's core in search of what he wanted!
In other words, it was very likely that he had already succeeded!
With a thought, Xia Fei came up with an idea.
* Whoosh ~ *
Peacock Blue's giant blades of grass extended, tightly grabbing onto a section of the Divine Beast's body, allowing him to bring it underground. Meanwhile, Furball followed closely behind Xia Fei.
…
It was like a man-made tunnel. The Divine Beast Reverse-Halberd Blackscale had lived in this valley for a very long time, and the ground beneath him had long since been hollowed out. His huge body was rapidly tunneling, heading toward the depths of the earth's core.
As he ran madly, Reverse-Halberd Blackscale continued to merge with himself. Very soon, the monster really did turn into a long train, except that it did not have windows or wheels.
Xia Fei used Peacock Blue's body to grab onto the monster, following behind it. The monster was currently in a hurry, so how could it care that someone was on top of it? To it, there were certain things underground that were most important to it.
The planet used to construct the Primordial Battlefield was very large, at least a hundred times the size of Earth! Xia Fei followed Reverse-Halberd Blackscale underground for more than ten minutes before he came to a stop.
* Whoosh ~ *
Xia Fei lightly detached himself from the monster's body and leaped upward, agilely climbing onto a giant stalactite. His finger lightly tapped on his war armor, activating the darkness assist system so that he could see in the pitch-black darkness of the cavern.
Huge!
This cavern was as large as the Pacific Ocean!
Even Reverse-Halberd Blackscale's hundred-mile-long body was inconspicuous in there. The rumbling reached its peak here, for the Divine Beast was currently in a frenzy. He was furious! Enraged! He roared as he charged forward at high speed!
"Damn, there's actually a whole new world here!" Oro said in a deep voice. "Based on my conjecture, the Dark Pearl Race might have discovered some secret hidden here a long time ago, but they were unable to barge in due to the monster guarding this place.
"After many years of meticulous preparation, Szesny, the descendant of the Dark Pearl Race, has come to the Primordial Battlefield once more, gathering a large group of people to act as cover for him. Amidst the chaos, he stealthily snuck in here and took away what he wanted. That's why the monster has become so irritable!"
Xia Fei agreed with Oro's conjecture. He had analyzed the situation in the same way, but that analysis was not important. What was important was how to find Szesny and steal the treasure in his possession.
This planet was so huge, and the caverns were so complicated. Finding him was easier said than done. Based on psychological analysis, if Szesny had really succeeded, then the most important thing to do right now was to escape this place!
The Divine Beast Reverse-Halberd Blackscale angrily circled the cavern. All of a sudden, as if he had discovered something, he dove deeper into the planet's core, not even looking back.
Xia Fei let go of his hand and descended from the top of the cavern. That rumbling sound was getting further and further away, most likely coming from Reverse-Halberd Blackscale.
"Why aren't you following the monster? He might have found Szesny!" Oro said in a deep voice.
Xia Fei shook his head and casually replied, "Szesny is very cunning and very smart. I don't believe that he can enter this place without being able to escape the monster's pursuit."
"Are you saying that he's bait?!" Oro asked doubtfully.
"That must be it," Xia Fei said firmly. He had always been very confident in his analysis and judgment.
