Jiang Chen's gaze shimmered before shifting towards Liu Xiong.
The understanding Liu Xiong grasped was one of the Five Elements — the Grand Dao of Fire.
His form was entirely shrouded by innumerable flames that seemed to have lives of their own, relentlessly assaulting the demonic beast.
The conflict between Liu Xiong and the demonic beast was heatedly competitive and evenly matched.
Despite possessing a marginal upper hand due to elemental suppression and the reckless conduct of the demonic beast, which had forsaken its reasoning, exterminating it proved to be an immensely challenging task.
The resilience of the Grand Dao of Wood was incredibly strong, boasting a commendable defense. However, Liu Xiong's Grand Dao of Fire held relatively weak defenses, and a moment's neglect could potentially lead to a sudden turnaround!
Hence, when Liu Xiong spotted Jiang Chen not too far off, his eyes instantly ignited with elation!
He had personally borne witness to Jiang Chen's mastery of the Sword Dao.
The devastating strength of the Sword Dao was extraordinarily powerful.
With Jiang Chen's intervention, the doom of that demonic beast was essentially preordained!
In that instant.
"Elder Liu Xiong, I stand ready to lend you aid!"
Jiang Chen's voice carried softly, followed by a rapid gesture from his right hand. The Peerless Sky Piercing Sword materialized from nowhere, emitting a faint tremor.
Threads of sword Qi sprouted on the Peerless Sky Piercing Sword, causing the surrounding air to warp!
"Alright!"
"I'll pave the way for you!"
Without delay, Liu Xiong replied robustly.
Considering that the demonic beast had abandoned its reasoning, discussing tactics out in the open presented no issue.
In the ensuing moment, Liu Xiong abruptly summoned a crimson sphere, within which surged a massive amount of wild energy.
This was a singular-use fire element Great Dao treasure, long condensed via the persistent accumulation of his own Great Dao of Fire.
"Proceed!"
Liu Xiong's Dao Yuan Power pulsated fiercely throughout his body, with a significant amount of Yuan Power flooding into the fiery red sphere.
In the blink of an eye!
The fiery red sphere soared rapidly towards the dark green centipede demonic beast, radiating an incredibly intense heat and brightness.
At this moment, it seemed as though twin suns had emerged in the sky!
"Roar!!"
The demonic beast released a savage roar.
It intuitively sensed that this time the opponent's attack packed a stronger punch than before, prompting it to immediately adopt a defensive stance.
Whoosh!
Numerous black-brown tendrils sprouted from the centipede demonic beast's body, rapidly cocooning it within a defensive wooden shell that covered it entirely, showcasing extreme resilience!
Bang!
Liu Xiong's attack landed on the wooden cocoon of the centipede demonic beast, instantly setting it ablaze and scorching a large part of the battlefield.
However, the energy of the fiery red sphere was simultaneously depleting continuously.
Considering the condition of the centipede demonic beast, it definitely wouldn't succumb to this attack alone.
Jiang Chen, gripping the Peerless Sky Piercing Sword, allowed his sword intent to surge in waves, ceaselessly readying his most potent attack.
After a duration of ten breaths, Liu Xiong's fiery red sphere had entirely expended its energy.
The wooden shield defense of the Dao Comprehension realm centipede demonic beast was also utterly shattered, with its carapace now marred by black and red scorch marks.
Of prime importance was its current state; it was caught in a phase where its previous energy was depleted, and new strength had yet to materialize.
In simpler terms, it had slipped into a cooldown period and a temporary state of weakness.
"Now's the moment!"
"Moon Treading Star Transformation, Heaven Sundering Rainbow Sword Technique!"
A dangerous sparkle flitted across Jiang Chen's eyes as he transformed into a lightning-fast streak of light, promptly charging towards the demonic beast's head!
"Roar!!"
The Dao Comprehension realm centipede demonic beast issued an immensely furious roar.
Having surrendered its rationality, it paid no heed to its own state, baring its lethal fangs in a bid to slaughter Jiang Chen.
Apart from the Great Dao of Wood, it also boasted an exceptionally fearsome poison. Dao Comprehension realm cultivators, lacking comprehension of the Great Dao of Poison, would also find themselves under significant peril.
However, just as it widened its maw, a swifter sword light erupted from the streak of light into which Jiang Chen had morphed.
Swish!
The razor-sharp sword light instantly penetrated the upper jaw of the Dao Comprehension realm centipede demonic beast, piercing straight into its brain!
The sharp sword Qi exploded incessantly, severing the head of the centipede demonic beast into eighteen fragments.
Not only that, but the sword Qi proceeded to extend towards the several-kilometer-long body of the Dao Comprehension Realm centipede, slicing all the way.
In a mere instant, the mountainous centipede demonic beast transformed into several smaller meat mounds, from which blood incessantly flowed, forming a scarlet river.
"Roar..."
The centipede demonic beast issued an aggrieved, yet feeble roar.
One could observe vine-like flesh incessantly sprouting from the gashes on its body, striving to reassemble itself.
However, Jiang Chen's sword intent lingered within its wounds, gnawing away like maggots on a corpse.
It not only hampered the demonic beast's recovery but even inflicted further harm upon it.
"Holy Son!"
"How fare you?"
Liu Xiong turned to Jiang Chen, expressing his concern.
"I'm unscathed!"
"Let's finish this together!"
Exuding an air of serenity, Jiang Chen gestured with his hand, and clutching his long sword, he instantly sprang into action against the centipede demonic beast.
"Truly, the Holy Son is exceptional."
Respect filled Liu Xiong's eyes as he too, shrouded in infinite flames, charged towards the centipede demonic beast.
What he had utilized earlier was 'stockpiled', hence his own condition hadn't been severely affected, and his battle strength was mostly intact, thus he required no rest.
'Heaven Sundering Rainbow Sword Technique!'
Wielding the Peerless Sky Piercing Sword, Jiang Chen relentlessly inflicted injuries upon the body of the centipede demonic beast.
Liu Xiong, in contrast, unleashed ultra-condensed flames, mercilessly incinerating the critical parts of the centipede demonic beast.
"Roar! Howl!"
Sections of the centipede demonic beast's body writhed and struggled continuously, but they were no longer able to reattach themselves.
Its life force was progressively dissipating as well.
Moreover, the glow in the bulging eyes of the centipede demonic beast had completely faded.
Thus, a Dao Comprehension realm demonic beast met its end.
"Remarkable!"
"The Holy Son is indeed immensely powerful!"
"To collaborate at the Inquiring Journey realm and vanquish a Dao Comprehension realm demonic beast is truly an unprecedented feat in the Purple Heaven Holy Land!"
"..."
A group of cultivators gazed in wide-eyed awe, engaging in animated discussions, resolute in imprinting this spectacle onto their memories.
Amidst the battlefield.
"Elder Liu Xiong."
"This demonic beast may prove useful to me..."
Jiang Chen addressed Liu Xiong with a pleasant smile, his hands respectfully clasped together.
"Holy Son, please do!"
"The future of our Purple Heaven Holy Land rests in the hands of the Holy Son. Your strength is synonymous with our Purple Heaven Holy Land's strength."
"Besides, this demonic beast has been tainted by the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi, rendering it useless to us."
Elder Liu Xiong spoke fervently, "Even if it were an untainted Dao Comprehension realm demonic beast, the Holy Son should be the one to claim it!"
"Haha."
"In that case, I shall take up your offer."
Jiang Chen responded with a slight smile, then extended his hand to gather the remains of the Dao Comprehension realm centipede demonic beast, piece by piece.
With every fragment of the corpse he gathered, Jiang Chen utilized the Wordless Heavenly Jade to absorb all of its qi and blood.
In an instant, the energy within the Wordless Heavenly Jade, which hadn't been entirely consumed during the practice of the Heaven Sundering Rainbow Sword Technique, surged once again!
Now, practicing one or two Dao Comprehension realm cultivation methods would pose no difficulty.
However, Jiang Chen did not intend to utilize it immediately, instead planning to save it as a trump card for himself!
"Elder Liu Xiong!"
"Let's go support Elder Lu and Elder Gui!"
Having collected the demonic beast's corpse, Jiang Chen saluted Liu Xiong with a fist and palm gesture and proposed.
"I had the same idea!"
Liu Xiong chuckled heartily.
"Let's assist Elder Lu first!"
"The demonic beast he's combating is stronger and he's under considerable pressure."
After a moment of deliberation, Jiang Chen suggested.
"Agreed!"
Liu Xiong nodded, as once again a surge of flames erupted from his body.
"Let's move!"
Jiang Chen lifted his sword, instantly morphing into a streak of sword light and dashing off...
