Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4578  Holy Beast

What had appeared in front of Ling Han and the others?

A colossal beast!

It was shaped like a bull, and there were multiple sharp spikes growing from its back, while its tail was the tail of a scorpion, which had long, sharp spikes.

What earth, what forest!

They were not.

Just now, everyone had been standing on its back. That so-called black forest was actually its fur.

Now, it could still be clearly seen that there was a very large wound on its back. That was caused by everyone, but compared to its colossal size, this was negligible.

”Saint Tier!” Everyone exclaimed in shock.

However, this was a great beast that was on the verge of death. Though there was still life fluctuating in it, it was incredibly weak.

Going by that theory, those blood-coloured worms were the parasites in its body?

Heavens, the parasites were all Sect Master-level, and there were even some giant insects that had reached Venerate Tier. Just how terrifying was this Holy Beast?

Seven-star Saint? Or perhaps even eight or nine stars?

However, regardless of how many stars it was, its lifespan was already nearing its end. It was because of this that its body had started to deteriorate. In fact, parasites had even started to appear in its body. Otherwise, the body of a Saint would naturally be as pure and flawless as could be. How could it have produced insects?

At this moment, everyone was extremely nervous, not daring to make the slightest movement.

This was a Holy Beast! Regardless of whether they were the Genesis Worldʼs ruler or the Golden Generation, they were completely negligible in front of such a being.

”Thank you!” A thought rose up, and entered into everyoneʼs minds.

This was the Holy Beastʼs divine sense transmission.

Boom!

The Holy Beast collapsed again, transforming back into a forest.

It was really about to die, so even if countless parasites grew out of its body, it could do nothing. Only when a large hole was dug into its back did it move, expressing its gratitude to everyone.

It was very easy to connect the dots. Thus, everyone felt incredibly rueful.

This was a Holy Beast that was at least seven stars, but now? It could only struggle at deathʼs door here. In fact, it could only helplessly allow the parasites in its body to overflow.

Furthermore, as long as the insect queen did not die, it would not take too long for it to continue breeding offspring, and continue to wreak havoc on it.

It was truly vexing for a Saint to fall into such a state.

”Little Han, if Grandpa Dog also falls to this extent one day, you can resolutely give Grandpa Dog a palm strike,” the large black dog sighed.

”All right.” Ling Han nodded.

The large black dog immediately jumped up, ”What do you mean? Do you hope to see Grandpa Dog experience such a day?”

F***, wasnʼt that what you said yourself?

”The correct answer is: even if Grandpa Dog has fallen to this extent, you have to try your best to save me!” the large black dog said.

Ling Han was rendered speechless. This dog was still as despicable as always.

”Get lost!”

Everyone had initially thought that there would be some great fortune here. They had not thought that their battle would have been for nothing, and they had instead lost a great many lives.

They had to leave.

Everyone set out one after another. The Saint Tomb was definitely not as small as what they had seen. There should still be opportunities in other places. If they could get some Saintly medicine and the like, this trip would not be in vain.

However, Ling Han didnʼt move. Instead, he said, ”Since we have already started, letʼs just do it to the end. Why donʼt we go and kill that insect queen as well?”

”All right.” Brother Monkey immediately nodded. If he had started something, he definitely could not give up halfway.

Though the large black dog and little azure dragon didnʼt want to meddle in other peopleʼs business, since Ling Han and Brother Monkey had already said so, they could only nod.

Ling Han released his divine sense, and expressed his intention to kill the insect queen to that Holy Beast, to prevent this Holy Beast from mistakenly thinking that they had malicious intentions, and risk death to bring them down with him.

—Even if a Saint was close to death, they definitely could not underestimate him.

After a very long time, the Holy Beast finally sent out a weak wave, expressing its agreement.

”Letʼs go.”

The four of them leaped into the lake of blood that they had previously dug out. By now, they naturally understood that this was the blood vessel of the Holy Beast.

This Holy Beast was extraordinarily huge, its veins as wide as a small river, completely allowing the four of them to move freely.

However, this Holy Beast was already nearing the end of its lifespan. The blood, muscles, and bones in its body had already decayed, exuding an endless air of age and decay. Furthermore, this kind of aura had destructive power, assimilating all life that entered its body.

Ling Han and the others all set up a shield of Regulations to block this aura, but under the constant corrosion of this aura, the shield would not be able to last for too long.

This required them to replenish the energy expenditure of the Regulations shield from time to time, and the Regulations shield needed Spiritual Power to be mobilized. In other words, if they walked here, they would endlessly expend the power of their spirit.

Furthermore, this speed was very fast.

”Remember this place. When your Spiritual Power is exhausted, you must return.”

”M-hm.”

The four of them moved separately to find that insect queen.

However, the Holy Beast was far too large, and the veins in its body were also far too numerous. Added together, they were long enough to wrap around a great planet several times over.

They would be restricted here again, and after a while, they would have to go out to recover their Spiritual Power. The efficiency of searching for the insect queen was incredibly low.

After two days, none of them discovered the insect queen. Instead, the blood-colored worms appeared again.

The insect queen began to lay eggs again.

If this continued, how long would this drag out for?

Ling Han communicated with the Holy Beast, wanting the Holy Beast to provide the location of the insect queen. In this way, wouldnʼt it be easy to charge over directly?

However, this Holy Beast was already on the verge of death, so its consciousness wasnʼt always awake.

However, the time before death for ordinary people was only a few minutes, at most a day or half a day, but the lifespan of Saints was really too long. The time before death would also be as long as a few hundred or a few thousand years.

After a very long time, Ling Han finally received a divine sense signal, pointing out a location.

Ling Han immediately set off, heading in that direction.

After arriving, he discovered that this was the heart of the Holy Beast.

He entered through the blood vessels, only to see a gigantic insect sticking to the wall of the heart, madly absorbing the essence substance in the blood. At the same time, it also swallowed a great many turbid substances.

Pu, pu, pu! Its behind kept moving, laying egg after egg.

Ling Han humphed, and immediately charged over.

Several hundred blood-colored worms intercepted him, but what use was that? They were all wiped out by Ling Hanʼs murderous aura.

Shua, he raised his right hand, and the Regulations turned into a divine light that slashed towards the insect queen.

This insect queen was also a Venerate, but in front of Ling Han, what was an ordinary Venerate worth?

The divine light slashed past, and the insect queen also died instantly.

Ling Han then wiped out all the insect eggs. Now, even if there were some that slipped through the net, they would not be much of a threat.

He left, and exited the body of the Holy Beast.

”Letʼs go,” he said.

”Yi, weʼve worked hard for two days, and weʼre leaving just like that?” The large black dog bared his teeth, ”Wouldnʼt that be a terrible loss?”

Ling Han smiled, ”When we do things, we only want our conscience to be clear. It is not everything that needs repayment.”

”Haha, these words match Old Sunʼs intentions!” Brother Monkey clapped his hands and laughed loudly.

”Alright, as long as you guys are happy.” The large black dog spread out his paws.

”Wait a moment.” Just as the four of them were about to leave, a sliver of divine sense transmitted into their minds.
