"You humans just love to do this, sweet-talking while plotting behind my back. Hmph, stop pretending in front of me; I won't believe you."
The Treasure Guardian Beast dove down while speaking to Lu Chen. Its body stood over five zhang tall, with limbs like barrels, strong and powerful, and its claws were incredibly sharp, crushing the ground beneath it.
Lu Chen kindly tried to warn the Treasure Guardian Beast, but unexpectedly, it took offense, mistakenly believing that Lu Chen was trying to scheme against it. It glared at Lu Chen with anger and retaliated.
In truth, Lu Chen wasn't sure if anyone would plot against the Treasure Guardian Beast; he just felt that something was off about the situation. Everything was going too smoothly, which made him uneasy.
However, since the Treasure Guardian Beast was ungrateful, he decided to let it be. As the Treasure Guardian Beast lunged again, Lu Chen unleashed two streams of Imperial Aura.
The Imperial Aura transformed into blades that sliced through the air. The Treasure Guardian Beast did not evade and charged straight ahead. Surprisingly, the seemingly indestructible Imperial Aura caused it no harm at all.
After being struck twice by the Imperial Aura, the Treasure Guardian Beast's body sparked like tempered steel but quickly dissipated into nothingness.
Moreover, Lu Chen's Imperial Aura did not affect the speed of the Treasure Guardian Beast at all. Its eyes turned crimson as its powerful limbs pounded the ground, racing toward him.
In the blink of an eye, the Treasure Guardian Beast was upon him, opening its massive jaws and letting out a roar while raising its sturdy forelimbs to pounce on Lu Chen.
Lu Chen leaped high into the air, landing on a ten-zhang tall Stone Forest peak. The spot where he had just stood was instantly crushed by the Treasure Guardian Beast's attack, creating a large crater.
The Treasure Guardian Beast landed and looked up at Lu Chen on top of the Stone Forest peak. With a roar, it sprang into the air again and lunged toward Lu Chen once more.
Lu Chen's figure flickered as his Flesh manifested as lightning. He quickly jumped to another Stone Forest peak while swinging his arms. Dozens of streams of Imperial Aura intertwined to form a net of blades that descended from above.
"Bang bang bang bang."
In an instant, dozens of streams of Imperial Aura exploded in front of the Treasure Guardian Beast, turning countless hard stones into powder and sending sand flying everywhere.
"Human, you will pay for this."
The Treasure Guardian Beast let out another roar, its towering body leaping out from the mist, locking onto the direction of Lu Chen and flying swiftly towards him.
Lu Chen quickly maneuvered, seizing the opportunity to approach the Treasure Guardian Beast while it was unprepared, and threw a punch directly at it.
In an instant, Lu Chen felt his arm go numb; the body of the Treasure Guardian Beast was incredibly hard, even harder than iron. His punch landed as if striking a steel plate, producing no reaction whatsoever.
Instead, a force rebounded from the Treasure Guardian Beast's body, causing a backlash that left Lu Chen at a disadvantage.
Provoked by Lu Chen's close approach, the Treasure Guardian Beast became even more ferocious. It jumped and immediately turned its head, raising its front paw to swipe at him.
Lu Chen's ears perked up as he heard the sound of rushing wind. He hurriedly rolled away and escaped in another direction.
Suddenly, the Treasure Guardian Beast opened its massive mouth and from its belly emerged a red orb engulfed in flames, about the size of a fist.
The Treasure Guardian Beast began to leap continuously, chasing after the fiery orb that was now pursuing Lu Chen.
This scene resembled the tale of Jade Dragon Playing with Pearl. Yes, it was indeed Jade Dragon Playing with Pearl. The orb danced and flickered in front while the dragon chased behind.
In legends, the True Dragon possesses an inner core. This story originated from a fisherman who went out to sea and unexpectedly saw a dragon cultivating its inner core. Shocked, he mistakenly thought the dragon was playing with an orb and muttered four words: "Jade Dragon Playing with Pearl."
Since then, this idiom has existed. It was merely due to the fisherman's misunderstanding that it became known as Jade Dragon Playing with Pearl; in reality, it was simply a True Dragon cultivating its inner core.
As a true dragon bloodline creature, the Treasure Guardian Beast had also cultivated its own inner core after centuries of accumulation.
However, unlike the slender and elongated True Dragon, the Treasure Guardian Beast's body resembled an oversized lion but with far less fur.
At this moment, while it appeared to be chasing after its inner core, in truth, it was manipulating it through its own magical power from afar. This principle is somewhat similar to Sang Tuling's Flying Sword Technique, where one controls a Flying Sword for combat from a distance.
The Treasure Guardian Beast opened its mouth and expelled its inner core, a fiery red orb that danced in the air, directly heading towards Lu Chen.
Lu Chen had just flown a short distance when he turned back to see the inner core of the Treasure Guardian Beast chasing him down, swiftly approaching his chest with a whoosh.
In a panic, Lu Chen raised his hand and unleashed several streams of Imperial Aura, which surged forth like a tangle of wild vines, colliding with the inner core of the Treasure Guardian Beast. The two forces met in mid-air, intertwining and clashing against each other.
In just a moment, Lu Chen's Imperial Aura was completely destroyed by the inner core of the Treasure Guardian Beast, dissipating into nothingness.
Looking at the inner core of the Treasure Guardian Beast again, it was as vibrant as fire, still exuding the same fierce energy as when it was first expelled, unstoppable and invincible.
The Treasure Guardian Beast was indeed a genuine Virtual Immortal Master, its cultivation level far surpassing Lu Chen's by an unknown number of times. Therefore, Lu Chen stood no chance against the Treasure Guardian Beast.
With his Imperial Aura shattered, Lu Chen's expression changed sharply as he quickly turned to flee. His true form manifested as lightning, slithering through the Stone Forest with agile movements.
The inner core of the Treasure Guardian Beast seemed determined to catch Lu Chen, relentlessly pursuing him with only three feet between them.
Wherever the inner core flew through the Stone Forest, explosions erupted, turning everything into dust scattered into the air.
The speed of the inner core increased rapidly and would soon catch up to Lu Chen. Moreover, he was escaping in a serpentine path; if he had taken a straight line, he would have been caught long ago.
Lu Chen calculated silently and felt it was about time. He raised his arm and summoned Jun Bell, using Rift Spell to open its entrance. With a swift motion, he flung it back and directly absorbed the inner core of the Treasure Guardian Beast into it.
The inner core of the Treasure Guardian Beast was a pure Yang Qi Flame, one of the most potent forms of yang energy beneath it all. It surpassed any Qi Master's Fist Shadow or Fist Technique in power and was condensed from the beast's own vital essence.
The Treasure Guardian Beast collected its Yang Qi Flame and continuously refined it into an inner core stored in its dantian, ready to be extracted and controlled with Divine Sense when needed.
Controlling one's own vital essence for combat is akin to how Qi Masters use their vital essence to inflict harm.
Lu Chen's Jun Bell has a hollow interior, secretly linking to a certain void within the Cosmic Starry Sky. It may appear small, but those dark areas are all capable of being opened up; it's just that Lu Chen doesn't have the time to study them.
The function of Jun Bell is specifically to counteract masculine entities, especially human Flesh, devouring one after another.
Although Qi and blood are also voids, Jun Bell does not differentiate; as long as the Yang Qi Flame is too intense, it will immediately begin to devour and absorb it.
Lu Chen used Jun Bell to collect the Qi and blood inner core of the Treasure Guardian Beast. His true form leaped and landed steadily on a sharp point of the Stone Forest.
Once the inner core entered Jun Bell, it quickly surged inside, causing Jun Bell to tremble with bursts of light emerging from within, indicating a tendency to break free.
Lu Chen hurriedly tightened his grip on Jun Bell while simultaneously casting dozens of Healing Void Spells to seal the bell tightly, preventing the inner core from escaping.
At this moment, the Treasure Guardian Beast stood on the ground, its copper bell-like eyes wide open as it witnessed its inner core being taken by Lu Chen. Instantly, it was filled with rage, furious to the extreme.
"Human, where have you taken my inner core? You will pay for this."
The Treasure Guardian Beast roared loudly, jumping in fury. With a powerful leap, its body transformed into a streak of fire and charged directly at Lu Chen.
Not daring to lick his lips or be careless, Lu Chen knew that this time the Treasure Guardian Beast was truly enraged; this was exactly the effect he wanted.
Lu Chen quickly manifested his true form as lightning and flew up from the sharp point of Stone Forest, escaping far away.
The spot where he had just stood was immediately crushed by the Treasure Guardian Beast's body, breaking into two pieces.
Lu Chen glanced back and saw the Treasure Guardian Beast desperately pursuing him. Wherever it flew past, large sections of Stone Forest collapsed, creating chaos all around.
Both Lu Chen and the Treasure Guardian Beast moved at incredible speeds; one chased while the other fled. Within just a few breaths, they completely exited the Stone Forest area and arrived at the vast Gobi Desert outside.
Lu Chen manifested lightning, which exploded out of nowhere and drilled into a crack, effortlessly slicing through it.
The Treasure Guardian Beast chased from behind, its copper bell-like eyes widened as it roared, not caring whether the crack could accommodate its size. It stretched its head forward and forcefully dove in.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the original crack was forcibly widened by the Treasure Guardian Beast, making enough space for it to pass through.
This Treasure Guardian Beast possessed astonishing destructive power that was hard to imagine. The stones in the Gobi Desert, frozen and snow-covered for years, were incredibly hard, comparable to steel; yet they could not impede the steps of the Treasure Guardian Beast.
One by one, the scattered rocks exploded into dust, rising in disgust. This scene resembled an army using Fire Thunder to break through mountains.
No matter how hard or thick the mountains were, a single strike from Fire Thunder would immediately crack them open and cause them to collapse.
The power of the Treasure Guardian Beast was even greater than that of Fire Thunder; the rocky shore before it instantly became as fragile as tofu.
Lu Chen manifested as lightning, emerging from the crack and soaring upward. His true form materialized halfway in the sky as he swung his arms, unleashing dozens of Imperial Auras once again.
The Imperial Auras intertwined into a net of blades that descended from above, enveloping the entire body of the Treasure Guardian Beast.
