"Hmph, you truly overestimate yourself. Do you really think you can snatch that Level Eight Source Pill from two Level Six Primordial Beasts?" Xue Gong sneered upon hearing Shen Haoran’s words.

At these words, the members of the Yao Sect glared at him. Shui Ruolan said coldly, "Whether he can get it or not is none of your business."

"Hmph, I’d like to see just how he’s going to get himself killed!" Seeing the furious expressions on the Yao Sect members’ faces, Xue Gong didn’t dare say anything more and just snorted.

Shen Haoran shot Xue Gong a disdainful glance. ’Two Level Six Primordial Beasts are nothing. I don’t even consider them a threat!’

WHOOSH...

With a muffled sound, the Vermilion Bird Wings unfurled once more. A gentle flap sent a scorching gale across everyone’s faces, stunning them. Although they had seen the enormous, fiery wings on Shen Haoran’s back before, it had only been from a distance. Seeing them up close was truly a breathtaking sight. ’For a person to actually grow wings... how strange!’

WHOOSH...

The Vermilion Bird Wings beat the air, and an afterimage flickered where Shen Haoran stood. In an instant, he vanished! The combination of the Vermilion Bird Wings and the Nine Heavens Shocking Cloud Step boosted his speed to an incredible degree.

Seeing Shen Haoran vanish, Shui Ruolan no longer lingered. She led the members of the Yao Sect in a dash toward the palace ruins. It seemed the Primordial Beasts couldn’t enter the palace ruins; as long as they made it inside, they would be safe.

The group moved swiftly. Since the attention of the surrounding Primordial Beasts was fixed on the Level Eight Source Pill, Shui Ruolan and her companions entered the palace ruins completely unimpeded.

Once he saw Shui Ruolan and the others enter the ruins, Shen Haoran stopped circling in the air. He turned, transforming into a streak of black light as he shot toward the golden Level Eight Source Pill!

WHOOSH WHOOSH...

Hearing the fierce whistling of wind past his ears, Shen Haoran’s gaze hardened. The Fire Spirit Black Obsidian surged forth, enveloping his entire body. ’The shockwaves from the battle between those two Level Six Primordial Beasts are still terrifying. After all, they’re both on the cusp of becoming Level Seven Primordial Beasts!’

The golden Level Eight Source Pill was passed back and forth between the two Level Six Primordial Beasts. Their strengths were evenly matched, and it was clear neither would win anytime soon. Shen Haoran circled the two beasts, searching for an opening. ’There will only be one chance. If I fail, I’ll face a pincer attack from both of them. I’ll be in grave danger then!’

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!...

The battle between the two Primordial Beasts grew increasingly fierce. Violent Energy Barriers formed around them, and the resulting shockwaves nearly blasted Shen Haoran out of the sky.

Shen Haoran stared at the Energy Barrier, his brow furrowed. He had no choice but to retreat. ’The tenacity of these two Primordial Beasts over the Level Eight Source Pill is beyond my expectations. Their battle is incredibly fierce!’

ROAR!

Two massive roars echoed as the Primordial Beasts crashed violently into each other. A powerful storm of Energy erupted, blasting the Level Eight Source Pill high into the air!

"Aha, my chance!" Seeing this, Shen Haoran’s face lit up as he charged toward the Level Eight Source Pill.

Seeing the Energy Barrier before him, his Qilin Arm suddenly swelled. A terrifying power erupted from it, blasting a hole straight through the barrier. Shen Haoran’s body became a black bolt of lightning, and in an instant, he was right in front of the Level Eight Source Pill!

Looking at the brilliant golden Level Eight Source Pill, Shen Haoran could feel the terrifying Energy it contained. His face lit up with joy as he snatched it and put it away.

The instant Shen Haoran put away the Level Eight Source Pill, the two Primordial Beasts on the ground, who had been locked in a bitter struggle, came to a halt. The sudden disappearance of the Level Eight Source Pill’s aura startled them.

When they looked up and saw Shen Haoran in midair, they understood immediately. A towering rage erupted from the two Level Six Peak Primordial Beasts. ’An ant dared to steal our Source Pill!’

ROAR!

Two earth-shattering roars rang out, followed by two violent streams of Energy that shot toward Shen Haoran like lightning!

’This is bad!’

Shen Haoran cursed inwardly. His Vermilion Bird Wings flapped, leaving a trail of afterimages as he narrowly dodged the two attacking Energy Pillars.

After dodging, Shen Haoran flew toward the palace ruins without a backward glance. ’As long as I get inside, I’ll be safe!’

Seeing Shen Haoran trying to flee, the two Primordial Beasts grew even more enraged. They roared and gave chase, their speed even a fraction faster than his!

BOOM! BOOM!...

From behind, two more Energy Pillars shot toward him. Shen Haoran was forced to change direction to evade the attack. At this moment, the two Primordial Beasts, which had been fighting to the death over the Level Eight Source Pill just moments before, had actually started to coordinate. One was responsible for attacking to hinder him, while the other focused on the chase!

’Damn it!’ Feeling the ferocious auras closing in from behind, Shen Haoran could only grit his teeth and beat his Vermilion Bird Wings frantically, trying to rush into the palace ruins before the two Primordial Beasts caught him.

"Brother Shen, hurry up!"

Watching the two Primordial Beasts in relentless pursuit, the members of the Yao Sect broke out in a cold sweat for Shen Haoran. They clenched their fists, screaming inwardly with anxiety.

As Xue Gong watched the distance between Shen Haoran and the two Primordial Beasts shrink, he couldn’t help but sneer. "Hmph, I said it before: Shen Haoran is just biting off more than he can chew! Now he’s going to pay the price for his greed!"

Up in the sky, Shen Haoran’s face had turned pale. The Vermilion Bird Wings consumed a massive amount of power, especially during such a high-speed flight. His internal Spiritual Power was running low. Feeling the ferocious auras right behind him, Shen Haoran gave a bitter smile. "They’re like superglue, impossible to shake off!"

Then, Shen Haoran’s expression hardened. With a tremor of his wings, he brought his hurtling body to an abrupt halt.

"Hmph, has he given up?" Xue Gong sneered as he watched Shen Haoran come to a sudden stop. ’Looks like I won’t have to deal with him myself. He’s going to die by the claws of these two Primordial Beasts today!’

Staring at the two Primordial Beasts now just a stone’s throw away, Shen Haoran took a deep breath. ’Will I give up? No, how could I ever give up? It’s just that I don’t have enough Spiritual Power left to make it to the palace ruins. In that case, there’s only one option left!’

At this thought, the crimson patterns on his Qilin Arm began to glow as a formidable power gathered within it.

"Heaven-Breaking Kill!"

The next moment, Shen Haoran charged straight toward the two Primordial Beasts. His Qilin Arm, wreathed in a terrifying gale, smashed down toward one of the beast’s heads!

ROAR!

One of the Primordial Beasts, seeing this human dare to provoke it, raised a massive claw to meet Shen Haoran’s Qilin Arm. The next instant, a deafening crash echoed through the air as terrifying ripples of Energy spread out from the point of impact!

Shen Haoran felt a terrifying force travel up his Qilin Arm, and the entire limb went numb instantly. The immense power sent his body flying like a cannonball, and he coughed up a spray of blood.

Meanwhile, the Primordial Beast staggered back from Shen Haoran’s attack, nearly falling to the ground.

CRASH...

Shen Haoran’s body slammed heavily into the ground not far from the palace ruins. Seeing this, Long Mo leaped out and landed at his side. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Let’s go! I’m fine!" Shen Haoran said quickly, before Long Mo could even ask.

"Alright..." Long Mo replied. He helped Shen Haoran up, and in a few quick leaps, they slipped into the palace ruins.
