The Class 9 Xuanhuang beast's eyes suddenly narrowed as fear filled its face. It could sense just how terrifying the sword light was. It wanted to dodge, but it discovered that it could not do so no matter what. As a result, it swung its claws as hard as it could in an attempt to rip the incoming sword light to pieces.
Spurt! The sharp claws of the Class 9 Xuanhuang beast came in contact with the sword light, and its two front claws were neatly severed. However, the silver-white sword light became slightly weaker after being obstructed. In the end, it viciously landed on the beast's head.
A deep wound immediately appeared on the Xuanhuang beast's head. Blood spurted out like a fountain, dying its entire head red very quickly.
The other Class 9 Xuanhuang beast could not help but stop when it saw its companion injured in a single clash. It stared at Jianchen in fear as it began to consider retreating. Although these Xuanhuang beasts were not intelligent, their instincts still made them feel an innate fear when facing existences more powerful than them.
Jianchen was clearly stunned when he saw how he had injured a Class 9 Xuanhuang beast so effortlessly. After reaching Sword Origin, the increase in his strength had completely exceeded his expectations. However, he soon ravished with joy inside. He understood that Class 9 Xuanhuang beasts were no longer a threat to him. The powerful defences that Xuanhuang beasts possessed were probably only a little tougher than tofu to him now.
At this moment, the resplendent white light flickered once again as Jian Chen swung out with the Emperor Armament once again. An extremely pure and powerful sword Qi swept toward the heavily-injured Xuanhuang beast. It seemed like an ordinary strike, but it contained the endless mysteries of the Way of the Sword. It was as if it was not a sword Qi but a law of the world, a way of the world.
The second strand of sword Qi entered the wound on the Xuanhuang beast's head, cleaving it in half. The sword Qi did not slow down at all, moving on to its neck and the small body behind it.
In the end, half of the Xuanhuang beast's body had been cleaved in half by Jianchen's second strand of sword Qi. Only the other half remained connected. It then lay on the ground without moving. Its central nervous system had been pulverized by the brutal sword Qi, and its tremendous life force flowed away at an unbelievable rate.
The other Class 9 Xuanhuang beast was stunned by this as well. When it saw its companion slain so quickly, it also realized that the invader was so powerful that it could not stop him. It immediately produced a frightened roar and turned around to flee into the distance.
A Class 9 Xuanhuang beast was equivalent to a Class 9 Monster Core. Class 9 Monster Cores were extremely precious items on the Tian Yuan Continent, so how could Jianchen allow the Xuanhuang beast to escape from him? He immediately used the Illusory Flash and chased after it in a series of blurs. Chaotic Force surged out, causing the Emperor Armament to shine with a black light. It radiated with a violent presence of destruction. A snow-white streak of light silently appeared on the surface of the Emperor Armament, radiating with an extremely powerful sword Qi.
The silver-white streak of light and the streak of light from Chaotic Force intertwined on the Emperor Armament. They actually seemed like they were about to fuse, but they were clearly much more powerful than Jianchen's previous two attacks.
The Class 9 Xuanhuang beast was frightened out of its wits when it sensed the terrifying presence behind it. It fled even faster, but as soon as it sped up, it felt a powerful presence lock onto it. The familiar red world before it vanished, replaced by snow-white.
Spurt! Jianchen's Emperor Armament shot out a ten-meter-long streak of black and white light that struck the Xuanhuang beast from behind. It had almost cleaved the beast in half with only a fifth of its body still connected.
The Class 9 Xuanhuang beast no longer had the ability to flee after being so heavily injured. It collapsed on the ground and only stopped after sliding for several kilometers due to the inertia. It let out a painful cry.
Jian Chen slowly made his way to the Xuanhuang beast with the Emperor Armament in hand. The beast was still alive, but it was still alive.
It was still alive, but it had completely lost the ability to fight. It did not even have the ability to stand up due to its heavy injuries.
Jianchen stabbed the Xuanhuang beast's head and destroyed its central nervous system, completely ending its life. He removed a Class 9 energy crystal from its body with great familiarity before tossing the corpse into the artifact space.
Afterward, Jianchen returned to where he had been before. He stowed away the corpse of the other Xuanhuang beast before beginning to harvest the Flamecloud Fruit.
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed since Jianchen had entered the elemental mountains. It had to be mentioned that the elemental mountains were extremely large. Jianchen had remained in there for five whole days, but he still had not made it out of the fire-attributed land even with his speed.
However, during that time, Jianchen had collected quite a few heavenly resources. Without any exception, all of them were of the fire attribute. He even came across over a dozen Class 9 and Class 9 Xuanhuang beasts, which were all slain by Jianchen. He obtained over a dozen energy crystals that were equivalent to Class 9 Monster Cores.
There were indeed no Xuanhuang beasts below Class 9 in the elemental mountains. All of them were at Class 9, but there were far fewer of them than he had imagined.
There were so many of them that every single Class 9 Xuanhuang beast was scattered extremely far away. They each had their own territory and guarded a few extraordinarily precious heavenly resources.
After five days of trekking, Jian Chen had already climbed to a height of over a hundred thousand meters. Less than three hundred meters above his head was a layer of yellow clouds.
The clouds were clearly no ordinary clouds. Jianchen was unable to see through them with his eyesight, and he could sense even denser Xuanhuang Qi within them. However, he was unable to absorb it no matter what. He could not even take away a single strand of Xuanhuang Qi.
Many of the peaks of the elemental mountains had already reached into the clouds, so it was impossible to see just how tall they were.
Jianchen locked onto the peaks that reached into the clouds and continued to climb. As he went deeper and deeper, the surrounding fire-attributed energy became even more abundant. He knew that the closer he got to the top, the higher the quality of the heavenly resources he would encounter.
