Chapter 758: Chapter 756: The Terrifying Earthly List Demon Beast!

Elder Hua’s warning made Murong Qingcheng somewhat worried.

Lin Xuan nodded as well, “We should be careful; there might be some formidable Demon Beasts above.”

The two heightened their vigilance and set off for the mountaintop.

Their sprint was smooth and uneventful.

“Could it be that we’ve been worrying too much?” Lin Xuan shook his head with a smile.

“Perhaps,” Murong Qingcheng also frowned.

However, the next moment, a heaven-shaking roar came from the distance, turning into rolling thunder that trembled in all directions.

Visible ripples rapidly surged around, shattering rocks and snapping trees wherever they passed.

“What is this…” Lin Xuan and Murong Qingcheng were astonished, looking up in disbelief.

Just as they had begun to doubt Elder Hua’s hint, trouble struck.

“Save us!”

Countless screams rang out as numerous Martial Artists fled from above, their faces filled with terror.

Boom, boom, boom!

The ground trembled, rows of trees fell, and a massive shadow moved through the forest, carrying terrifying Evil Qi.

Below, countless Martial Artists were fleeing in a very sorry state.

Lin Xuan and Murong Qingcheng also retreated to a safe place and looked upwards.

In the forest above, a hundred-meter-tall giant ape walked upright, its body covered in thick fur. In the middle of its enormous head was a vertical eye, and it had eight arms on either side of its body, ceaselessly swinging them and generating a heaven-shaking momentum with each movement.

Bang!

With each swing of its eight arms, the fleeing Martial Artists were sent flying, and the forest was turned into a vacuum in the wake of its powerful strikes.

“This is…” Lin Xuan’s face was stricken with shock.

“Eight-Armed Evil Ape! An Earthly List Demon Beast, ranked number one hundred ninety-seven,” Murong Qingcheng said gravely.

“No wonder Elder Hua warned us; there was an Earthly List Demon Beast hidden here!” Lin Xuan’s face grew dark.

A fully-grown Eight-Armed Evil Ape was incredibly powerful, likely above the Fifth-level Venerate.

Fortunately, the Eight-Armed Evil Ape before their eyes had not matured; it was only in its juvenile period, with strength equivalent to a Third Level Venerable.

Although they could not fight it, they could still manage to escape.

Boom!

The Eight-Armed Evil Ape’s palms swayed like eight Heavenly Pillars, slamming towards all directions.

One of its palms was aimed directly at both Lin Xuan and Murong Qingcheng.

Everything close was shattered by the palm, the powerful aura encompassing Lin Xuan and Murong Qingcheng, as if it would crush the two of them.

“As expected of an Earthly List Demon Beast, even in its juvenile period, it’s so formidable!”

Feeling this pressure, Lin Xuan’s complexion slightly changed, and he took a step back, retreating.

Before the palm reached them, the terrifying palm wind had already destroyed everything nearby.

Murong Qingcheng also retreated, and just as the two had left, the Vajra-like palm descended, splitting the ground and creating a deep, bottomless black hole at its center.

The ferocity of the Eight-Armed Evil Ape stunned everyone, and all the newcomers who tried to cross were blown back down.

Many looked ahead with ugly expressions on their faces.

The path up the mountain was blocked; their only choice was to break through!

But, facing the horrific Eight-Armed Evil Ape, the crowd really didn’t have any means of doing so.

“Through the sky!”

Many people looked up at the sky, coming up with a new idea.

Instantly, someone made the attempt, their figure flickering and transforming into a stunning long rainbow, soaring towards the sky.

The Eight-Armed Evil Ape was only a hundred meters tall, and crossing this defense line would be enough.

Many people had this idea, but in the next moment, their faces changed once again.

For, in the sky a vast black shadow appeared, like a dark cloud, covering the heavens.

Within those dark clouds, there was also a pair of blood-red lights, like two suns hanging in the sky.

Accompanying these were terrifying auras, stronger even than the Eight-Armed Evil Ape.

“This is… a Demon Beast!”

Everyone was terrified, and the Martial Artists in the sky fled for their lives as if there was no tomorrow.

Boom!

A gray breath surged out, filling the sky, and enveloping several people in the air.

One of them released a Mid Spirit-grade Shield, which turned into a defense barrier of several dozen meters in the air.

But in an instant, it was corroded by the gray fog.

Hiss Hiss!

A black hole appeared in the center of the shield, and it gradually expanded until the entire shield melted into a pool of molten iron.

“What! How is this possible!”

Countless people were shocked; the gray fog was too terrifying, even a Mid Spirit-grade Treasure couldn’t withstand it!

At this moment, no one dared to entertain the idea of escaping through the sky.

“Roar!”

The people in the sky were fleeing, while the Eight-Armed Evil Ape on the mountain path let out an angry roar, waving its eight limbs and howling at the sky.

Aaah!

In the sky, the Demon Beast, like a dark cloud, also roared, emitting a low sound, the truly angry breath boiling.

The standoff between the two powerful Demon Beasts brought the scene to the highest tension.

The hearts of many new students were also lifted, nervously watching.

Letting the two Demon Beasts fight was not out of the question; this could present an opportunity to escape. Lin Xuan thought to himself.

The next moment, he had an idea.

He softly alerted Murong Qingcheng and Lin Xuan spurred the Great Dragon Sword Soul, controlling the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth, condensing near the Eight-Armed Evil Ape into an arm.

The appearance was almost indistinguishable from the limbs of the Eight-Armed Evil Ape.

At the same time, he utilized the Wind Realm, creating a strong wind in the air, making the visibility dim.

Taking this opportunity, Lin Xuan used a Spirit Power-condensed arm to pick up a small mountain and threw it towards the sky.

Boom!

Like a meteorite, it soared into the sky.

Aaah!

In the sky, the Demon Beast that resembled a dark cloud went into a rage, spitting out more gray fog, covering the Eight-Armed Evil Ape below.

Seeing the opponent make its move, the Eight-Armed Evil Ape also roared angrily, waving its eight limbs, throwing nearby boulders and giant trees into the sky.

At the same time, its huge mouth went berserk, revealing bloodied fangs, in front of it countless Spiritual Energy congregated, accompanied by strong demonic power, forming a yellow Energy Ball.

The overflowing Energy from within was enough to kill any Martial Artist below the Third Level Venerable.

“Let’s go!”

Lin Xuan shouted lowly, leading Murong Qingcheng away.

The two moved swiftly, turning into beams of light, rushing towards the mountain peak.

The others also came to their senses and fled; battling the two Fierce Beasts was definitely beyond their capacity, better to take the chance to leave.

Lin Xuan took the lead, running quickly towards the front.

This time they were lucky that two Demon Beasts appeared simultaneously and began to fight; otherwise, it would have been difficult to handle.

If that were truly the case, even with Lin Xuan’s capabilities, it would probably take some effort to escape.

The higher they went, the more powerful the Demon Beasts became, and they appeared very frequently.

Many people were inwardly complaining; originally, they had thought this competition would be easy, but they hadn’t expected it to be so perilous.

“It’s even worse than the Arena matches!”

“Damn, another Earthly Ranking Demon Beast!”

Many people screamed, having already begun to feel like retreating.

This time, the Earthly Ranking Demon Beast was equally terrifying, a Demon Wolf controlling a pack.

Ten Thousand Wolves Rushing, a terrifying momentum, pursuing the people.

“Run for your life!”

The crowd screamed, using all their strength to desperately flee.

Lin Xuan too dodged hastily; at this time, the advantage of Earth Rank Martial Arts became apparent.

Countless afterimages filled the mountain ravine, making it impossible to distinguish the real from the fake.
