“This is the leader of the four ferocious beasts in ancient times, Tao Wu,” Li Tianyan never expected that this legendary being would be trapped in a place like this.

The Hengwu Continent was just a barren low-level plane, but there were semi-immortal weapons and ancient ferocious beasts here. Did this mean that cultivators from other high-level continents had been here before?

Li Tianyan’s eyes lit up when he thought of this.

“Take something out (Tāo Wù – 掏物)?” Cheng Qi’s face was full of confusion. Why was the name of the beast so strange?

Li Tianyan corrected, “It’s not Tāo Wù (掏物) but the Táo Wù (梼杌). According to the legend, he was transformed from the soul of an ancient emperor’s son. Because the son had a bad temper and was stubborn and ineffective, he was named Táo Wù – 梼杌, which means an ignorant stump.”

The beast imprisoned inside the copper bell seemed to hear the conversation between the two. As soon as Li Tianyan finished speaking, he heard a long roar, and then the entire Qiluan Mountain echoed with the roar of wild beasts in response.

Li Tianyan noticed that the auras of many wild beasts were gathering in their direction. Even the wild beasts surrounding the copper bell were staring at them with faint eyes.

“Young master, what should we do?” Cheng Qi couldn’t help but swallow quietly.

Although the mutated beasts didn’t pose much of a threat to them, they couldn’t withstand the large number of them. Being stared at by so many beast eyes still made people tremble.

“First, get rid of all the mutated beasts in the mountain.” Li Tianyan looked at the ferocious beast inside through the cracks in the copper bell.

These mutated beasts were all semi-demon creatures that had been corroded by evil energy. They must not be allowed to stay in the secular world. Moreover, the ferocious beast was trapped in the copper bell. As long as there were no beasts that could be controlled by it, it couldn’t do much. Since the beast couldn’t escape within a short period of time, he could slowly think of a way.

“Everything…” Cheng Qi was secretly stunned. This method was so simple and crude.

Li Tianyan took a look around, and finally locked onto the tall copper bell. He picked up Cheng Qi and used the Light Body Technique, and flew on the top of the copper bell while stepping on the surrounding beasts.

“Roar!”

Another roar came from the ferocious beast in the copper bell. The mutated beasts below also turned their heads and roared threateningly at the two people on top of the copper bell. Some of them were lowering themselves to hit the copper bell. There were also those who were agile and climbed up quickly.

Several huge apes climbed up the wall pattern of the copper bell and rushed up quickly. Li Tianyan released flames and knocked down several apes. He also scattered a handful of seeds and used the wood spiritual power to generate them. Instantly, they grew on the ground. Dozens of vines with barbs appeared, and the beasts surrounding the bell were strangled to death by the vines in less than a moment.

.

This was the first time Cheng Qi saw Li Tianyan going on such a killing spree. In the blink of an eye, there were already many beast corpses underneath.

“Two Qi Condensation Cultivators dared to interfere in my affairs. Believe it or not, I’ll let these beasts eat you from meat to the bones and leaving to body.” A dry voice suddenly emerged in their sea of consciousness. It was actually the voice of the trapped ferocious beast.

Li Tianyan smiled widely and said, “Based on these uncivilized wild beasts, it was really hard for me to believe you.”

If the mountains had been full of strange beasts or monsters like in the secret realm, Li Tianyan might think again before taking action. But the only helpers the ferocious beast could find here were these wild beasts, so no wonder people looked down on it.

“Then let’s see how long you two can hold on with your spiritual power,” the voice of the ferocious beast sounded again, and then a large number of mutated beasts came to them like a tide.

Li Tianyan threw out another handful of seeds and continued to use his spiritual power to spawn more vines. The thorn vine was an offensive spiritual plant. It could even pierce the skin of fourth-level spiritual beasts. Once entangled, it would immediately tear open the skin and flesh.

But as the ferocious beast said, Li Tianyan was only at the sixth level of Qi Condensation. Not long after battling against the tide of wild beasts, his wood spiritual power was exhausted, and the vines underneath began to wilt, losing their previous strength.

The ferocious beast in the copper bell had long expected that he would not be able to hold on for long, so it was not distressed to see a large group of beasts die under the vines. Now when he saw that the opponent’s spiritual power was exhausted, he let out a burst of contemptuous laughter.

Li Tianyan saw a large number of wild beasts trying to cross the vines and continue to attack the copper bell. A wisp of flame penetrated into the withered tree vines underneath. The thorny vines that were extremely ferocious just a moment ago turned into a sea of fire. The hair of the beasts just touched the flame for once and it spread all over the body instantly, and in less than a moment, a large number of beasts were burned to death.

Cheng Qi, who was lying on the copper bell, could smell the burn smell of barbecue coming from below, until all the vines were burned away. Then countless sharp flying knives fell densely like raindrops.

Li Tianyan held a few spiritual beads in his hand, and while extracting spiritual power to replenish his, he used the spiritual power in his body to kill the four major ones. More and more mutated beasts died, but there were also more beasts coming from all directions, one after another, it seemed like there was no end to the killing.
