As the heaven and earth qi surged and converged like a tide, a world-shaking tribulation was quietly descending upon the world!
Zhao Lianyun and Bian Sixuan watched in horror as the earth qi continuously descended and rapidly condensed. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a massive yak as large as a small mountain!
This yak emitted a suffocating Aura, and its deafening roar echoed through the clouds as if it wanted to tear the entire world apart! Immediately after, it moved its thick, powerful limbs and charged toward Fei Hongyun with the momentum of a mountain toppling into the sea!
At the same time, the sky suddenly changed color as violent winds howled. Everyone was shocked to find that the raging, tyrannical weather also began to float upward frantically, gradually converging into a giant bird of unimaginable size!
This giant bird spread its wings like dark clouds blotting out the sun, giving off a crushing pressure that made it impossible to breathe. Two long feather ribbons fluttered from its tail like agile venomous snakes, pouncing toward the mid-air Fei Hongyun with bared fangs and claws, seemingly wanting to deliver a fatal blow with these mysterious ribbons!
Facing such a bizarre and terrifying scene, Liu Chen, who had been observing from the side, couldn't help but chuckle: "Haha, how interesting! A Chestnut Yak and an Ill-Omened Jade Ribbon Sparrow? It's quite something that this Heavenly Tribulation and Earth Calamity could produce such rare and strange things!"
In the eyes of a Gu Immortal, the Chestnut Yak was merely a Desolate Beast with extremely low combat power. Its only noteworthy trait was its delicious, flavorful meat; eating it raw would release bursts of rich chestnut aroma. However, in terms of combat strength, it was only slightly superior to a Dragon Fish.
However, such a seemingly ordinary Desolate Beast, if placed before a Mortal Gu Master, would be difficult to deal with even for a Rank Five Gu Master. It undoubtedly still counted as a terrifyingly fearsome giant beast!
As for the other Desolate Beast, the Ill-Omened Jade Ribbon Sparrow, it was completely different from the Chestnut Yak. It was an extremely rare Luck Path Desolate Beast that could pass misfortune onto Gu Masters and Gu Immortals. Generally speaking, other Gu Immortals might find such a beast quite troublesome, but if it fell upon Fei Hongyun, who possessed Luck Heaven-Equal, it was as insignificant as a small wizard facing a great Master.
At this moment, Zhao Lianyun tightly grabbed the hem of Liu Chen's clothes and asked with a face full of worry, "Master, what exactly is that over there? Will Junior Brother be in danger?"
Meanwhile, Bian Sixuan was equally nervous, her palms dripping with cold sweat. Although she had become a powerful expert at the Rank Five Peak Realm, she still couldn't help but feel fear when facing these two incredibly massive Desolate Beasts. At this moment, the only thought in her mind was to quickly flee this place; if not for Master still being here, she probably would have turned and bolted without hesitation.
However, Liu Chen appeared exceptionally calm and composed, as if he didn't care about these two Desolate Beasts at all. He gently patted Zhao Lianyun's head to comfort her: "Don't worry, little Yun'er, these two Desolate Beasts are nothing to be afraid of. You don't need to be overly concerned. Watch as Master slays them."
"Immortal Path Killer Move: Heaven-Slaying Sword Draw!"
Immediately after, a pair of gold and black phantom swords flickering with dazzling light suddenly emerged between Liu Chen's palms.
With a wave of his arm, the pair of gold and black swords were instantly drawn and slashed forward with incredible speed.
In an instant, a sharp golden Sword Qi and a sharp black Sword Qi erupted like a volcanic explosion, sweeping directly toward the two Desolate Beasts with unparalleled might.
"Moo!"
"Screech!"
Accompanied by two extremely shrill wails, the previously aggressive Chestnut Yak and Ill-Omened Jade Ribbon Sparrow were instantly sliced open by an incomparably powerful force, cut in half from the middle.
In an instant, blood as scarlet as a fountain splattered everywhere, flying through the air like a torrential downpour of blood.
Liu Chen gently waved his arm without changing his expression, and like a magic trick, he collected the two massive Desolate Beast corpses into his immortal aperture. He didn't even waste the scalding beast blood that had splattered out, taking it all inside.
With the miserable deaths of these two Desolate Beasts, the Heavenly Tribulation and Earth Calamity shrouding the surroundings also gradually dissipated.
At the same time, Fei Hongyun, who was undergoing the tribulation of immortal ascension, finally successfully passed the Gu Release stage.
At this moment, his immortal aperture had already begun to rapidly condense into shape, continuously absorbing the vast heaven and earth qi from the surroundings. However, just then, a brand new tribulation actually arose within Fei Hongyun's body!
This sudden tribulation transformed into an incredibly massive Desolate Beast that twisted its body and raged frantically inside his immortal aperture, turning everything it passed into a mess of ruins. However, before long, that Desolate Beast fell to the ground powerless.
After Fei Hongyun had completely absorbed all the surrounding heaven and earth qi, he finally descended steadily from the sky and landed back beside Liu Chen.
"Here, Hongyun, this is your heaven and earth qi! Take it to refine immortal gu. Use them to refine immortal gu; has the calamity in your Blessed Land already passed?" Liu Chen carefully handed those petty gu that had absorbed heaven and earth qi to Ma Hong Yun and inquired.
Ma Hong Yun took the generous gift with a heart full of joy. Grateful to the point of tears, he tucked the petty gu into his storage, then immediately injected the heaven and earth qi contained within into two large immortal gu qi masses, quietly waiting for the birth of the immortal gu.
"Thank you for your great kindness, Master! My Blessed Land's tribulation has passed, it was this Desolate Beast."
Just then, the entrance to the Blessed Land slowly opened, and a massive monster appeared before everyone's eyes.
This giant beast was actually a thousand meters long, its body covered in a layer of scales as white as jade, looking like a giant oarfish; however, its head closely resembled a flood dragon. Without a doubt, this was the legendary Desolate Beast Dragon Fish!
"A Dragon Fish! As expected of Fortune Rivaling Heaven!" When Liu Chen saw the Desolate Beast Dragon Fish, he understood why the tribulation had passed so quickly.
"You dummy, you've actually become so powerful that you can kill a Desolate Beast right after ascending to immortality!" Zhao Lianyun's face was full of shock, and she muttered to herself in disbelief. As she spoke, she unhesitatingly activated a Rank Five Water Sword Gu of startling power. The massive water-blue Flying Sword sped away like a bolt of lightning and slashed heavily onto the massive Dragon Fish's body.
However, unexpectedly, even though Zhao Lianyun had used her full strength, her attack only left a shallow scratch on the Dragon Fish's incredibly hard scales.
This result left both Zhao Lianyun and Bian Sixuan feeling very surprised and shocked—they never expected that this seemingly ordinary Dragon Fish's defensive capability would be so strong!
At this moment, even the usually steady and reserved Bian Sixuan couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise. She thought to herself: To think that her Junior Brother's strength had actually reached such a level, it truly makes one look at him in a new light! At the same time, she felt even more longing and expectation for her own future achievements after ascending to immortality.
Facing his Senior Sister's praise, Fei Hongyun seemed a bit embarrassed. He subconsciously scratched the back of his head and explained with some difficulty how he had actually defeated this powerful Desolate Beast: "Actually, it wasn't anything special... I found that this big fish seemed unable to survive away from a water source for long, and my Blessed Land happened to have no large lakes or rivers for it to live in. So, in the end, it probably just died of thirst..."
"Uh... you guy, you really know how to pick your opponents!" After hearing this, Zhao Lianyun was first stunned, then revealed a look of being between laughter and tears, shaking her head and sighing helplessly.
Beside her, Bian Sixuan similarly fell into a brief silence, clearly feeling both amused and speechless at Fei Hongyun's unique way of victory.
