Chapter 814: Chapter 812: Eye of the Heavenly Demon

Wang Zhan stood aside without any intention to help, as he could see that Jiang Yin had only suffered some superficial wounds, not serious ones.

Sure enough, after a while, Jiang Yin climbed up from the ground and rejoined the group.

The demonic beast that spoke earlier said again, "See, I didn’t lie to you, did I?"

Wang Zhan squinted his eyes, raised his Deep Fire Blade, and slashed towards the four soldier-level demonic beasts in front of him.

In an instant, those soldier-level demonic beasts fell into the bloody puddles.

Wang Zhan said calmly, "There is no reason for the demonic beasts to stay here. Since we already know everything we want to know, they have no value."

Jiang Yin nodded along, not caring about Wang Zhan’s methods.

The next second, the sound of soft footsteps came from nearby.

Soon after, the demonic beasts guarding the side all rushed over, surrounding Wang Zhan and the others while glaring at them like tigers watching their prey.

Wang Zhan glanced at those demonic beasts, lazily stretching. He turned to look at Jiang Yin beside him and said, "Not much time left, let’s finish this quickly and enter the Map Spirit Formation together."

Jiang Yin nodded, took out his ancient zither, and began to swiftly pluck the strings.

In the sky, silhouettes of monstrous beasts appeared, whistling away.

Soon, several soldier-level demonic beasts lay on the ground.

Wang Zhan, not to be outdone, also acted, and several charred corpses lay on the ground.

In just a few seconds, the two had dealt with all the demonic beasts around.

"I knew you wouldn’t fall behind me, kid," Jiang Yin said, glancing at the beasts’ corpses under Wang Zhan’s feet and pointing to the entrance of the Map Spirit Formation. "Not much time, let’s get in quickly."

Wang Zhan nodded heavily, transforming into a streak of light and heading towards the Map Spirit Formation.

Jiang Yin quickly followed behind him.

Inside the Map Spirit Formation, it was like a black, enclosed space, and everywhere was untouchable darkness.

"Where do we look for the leader-level beast?" Jiang Yin, observing the surroundings, found himself momentarily stumped.

Wang Zhan chuckled lightly, "This is the leader-level beast’s turf. I imagine it knows we’re here but hasn’t shown itself, likely wary of our strength. So, it’s not as terrifying as it sounds."

"But if it never shows itself, how will we find it?" Jiang Yin frowned slightly, asking in a deep voice.

Wang Zhan smiled, "That’s simple. If it hides, I’ll force it to reveal itself!"

As he spoke, flames appeared at Wang Zhan’s fingertips. He drew a circle around himself, and the fire quickly ignited, soon consuming entire darkness.

The surroundings lit up.

Wang Zhan squinted, scanning around until he saw everything clearly beside him.

They were in a massive altar, surrounded by stone walls. These walls were engraved with strange runes, resembling those of the Azure Dragon Venerable’s former hideout.

But that wasn’t the focus. Wang Zhan’s gaze rested on a figure hundreds of steps away.

"Leader-level beast?"

Wang Zhan squinted and said in a deep voice, "Looks like we’re about to face the boss."

"It doesn’t matter."

Jiang Yin, holding the ancient zither in his hands, cautiously watched the leader-level beast. He said calmly, "Let’s divide roles: you’ll engage it in close combat, and I’ll support you. Together, I’m sure it won’t escape."

Though powerful, the leader-level beast didn’t concern Jiang Yin.

Wang Zhan nodded, gradually advancing toward the leader-level beast.

The leader-level beast, its eyes always closed, slowly lifted its head, then looked at Wang Zhan and Jiang Yin. Under its icy gaze, it didn’t hide its fury, "Ignorant brats, daring to enter the Map Spirit Formation? Do you really think I can’t kill you?"

Wang Zhan confidently shrugged and said lightly, "Since we’re here, we’re sure we can take you down. Prepare to die."

As he spoke, Wang Zhan hesitated not a moment, swiftly raising his Deep Fire Blade. With the assistance of the Origin Heart Flame, the blade seemed covered in a chilling azure flame.

In a blink, a Fire Dragon soared into the sky, crashing toward the leader-level beast.

The lips of the leader-level beast slightly curled up. He glanced at Wang Zhan and then raised his arm, immediately a giant shield appeared in front of him.

To Wang Zhan’s surprise, the Fire Dragon dissipated into smoke the instant it touched the shield, as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Yin beside him was also slightly stunned, but he didn’t hesitate and quickly plucked the zither strings. Suddenly, illusionary beasts appeared, striking the shield fiercely, only to have the same result.

Jiang Yin’s eyes widened instantly, "How is this possible?"

Wang Zhan’s expression changed dramatically, "Damn it, looks like this guy has an extremely sturdy shell. If we want to kill him, we must first break this shell."

"Indestructible Azure Dragon Spell!"

Wang Zhan did not hesitate, clenched his fist tightly, and once again charged at the leader-level beast.

The entire space was filled with the sound of dragons roaring.

As the Dragon Claw descended from the sky, it fiercely crashed into the gigantic shield.

With a loud bang, tiny ripples appeared on the shield!

Wang Zhan excitedly clenched his fist, increasing the strength in his hand, and slammed into the shield again.

The leader-level beast noticed this, raising both hands as the ripples on the shield gradually vanished, returning to its original form.

Despite repeated attacks, Wang Zhan could not breach the leader-level beast’s defense.

"How can it be this sturdy?"

Wang Zhan’s teeth were almost gnawed to pieces. He had just used the Origin Heart Flame and even showcased a skill given by Azure Dragon Venerable, yet unexpectedly, even with both combined, he couldn’t break through this defense, leaving them in a dangerous situation.

Jiang Yin beside him also frowned slightly, as he too had shown his trump card.

Unfortunately, the result was not ideal.

The leader-level beast glanced at them arrogantly before snorting coldly, "Two mere mortals with just this bit of skill dare challenge me? You think you can make me fall? You aren’t worthy!"

Wang Zhan’s lips twitched, "Don’t be so smug, you damn bastard, do you think this is all we’ve got?"

"If it weren’t for your turtle shell, you’d have been long defeated by us. But I see, you’re confident only because of your defense, aren’t you?"

"Even though we cannot kill you, you also lack the ability to kill us. Why don’t we just continue this consumption here? After all, this Map Spirit Formation is greatly advantageous for you, you even intend to destroy the entire plane. But we have time to continuously drain you here."

"Presumably, your turtle shell also requires a huge amount of energy to maintain?"

The leader-level beast grinned, "Then let me show you what other means I possess besides defense."

As he spoke, the gigantic shield gradually disappeared before their eyes.

"Eye of the Heavenly Demon!"

With a roar, a bizarre eye appeared on the chest of the leader-level beast.

"This is my signature move, it has killed countless human experts, and even shattered the joint attack of several Tribal Patriarchs during the ancient battlefield battle years ago."

"Over the years, I’ve honed my skills quietly, my power has improved once more, it’s laughable to rely on you two juniors, you have no idea of your current predicament."

The leader-level beast clasped his hands together, as strands of energy ripples gathered above the bizarre eye.

Wang Zhan felt the terrifying power contained within those energy ripples.

Jiang Yin walked to his side, biting his teeth and said in a low voice, "Damn it, it seems this guy still has his last trump card. This attack is beyond our ability to withstand, plus the altar places certain restrictions on us, maybe we shouldn’t fight and should retreat first?"

Wang Zhan shook his head, his eyes filled with determination, "Have you thought that once the Map Spirit Formation is complete, the entire plane will be doomed, at that time, we’ll still be facing a dead end, rather than fighting here, perhaps we can fight for a slim chance of survival."

While speaking, Wang Zhan soared into the air, his body covered with azure dragon scales, and outside the scales, there was the addition of the Fire Deity Armor.

Two colors, red and azure, covered his body, extremely bizarre.

Even Jiang Yin beside him was dumbfounded.

"I didn’t expect you to have mastered the techniques of both Azure Dragon Venerable and Vermilion Bird Venerable?"

Years ago, the leader-level beast had also confronted the four great venerables, so he immediately saw through the clues on Wang Zhan.

Wang Zhan pursed his lips with a smile, and said lightly, "Have to admit, you do have some knowledge, in that case, why not surrender obediently?"

Suddenly, a cold laugh echoed in Wang Zhan’s ear.

The leader-level beast said sinisterly, "I fear not even if the four great venerables were before me! Let alone a junior like you?"

As he spoke, the bizarre black ripples had gathered into a black longsword, the longsword flew towards Wang Zhan as if it had eyes!
