Chapter 320 Devouring_2
In terms of speed, it was even slower than the Sun Chasing Bird, which was several ranks lower.
"You are indeed loyal," Gu Yuzhi's eyes flashed with a murderous intent, since these priests were so loyally trying to stall for time, they might as well die.
They had hidden in the shadows after being severely injured by Dong Fang just now, and now they were swarming around like a pack of hyenas.
Up ahead, the Flame-Patterned Giant Dragon that was fleeing suddenly made a lethal counterattack.
The wound at the position of its heart had healed, and its huge body charged toward Dong Fang like a heavy warplane.
"Without that annoying shield, you still dare to pursue!?" Chi Xing's eyes gleamed with ferocity.
Just then, a strong wind came from above, casting a large shadow.
The Flame-Patterned Giant Dragon and the Snow Bamboo Spirit both chose to cease fighting and simultaneously backed up a safe distance.
Both sides warily watched the Suspended Island Sky Roc descending from the sky.
No one knew whether this new peak Transcendent was friend or foe.
If it was an enemy, being restrained by it would lead to being ganged up on again.
Chi Xing had had enough of being mobbed just a while ago, originally thinking the chief priest he brought would serve a supportive role.
But unexpectedly, they were all no better than rice bags, getting severely injured after briefly clashing with the enemy Snow Bamboo Spirit, some even getting slain directly.
Hence, Chi Xing had them temporarily retreat, which had given him the chance to escape just now.
If it happened again, there would be no chief priest to buy time for him, not to mention this new peak Transcendent could also fly, and its size implied formidable close combat capability.
Dong Fang on the other side shared the same thought; his Beast Taming was better at offense than defense. If another flying creature joined in, he might very well suffer a loss right here.
As they pondered, the Suspended Island Sky Roc had already landed, its stacked white bone feathers emitting a piercing sound.
A magickal fog enveloped its body, and massive amounts of Corrosion Principle fog poured toward the Flame-Patterned Giant Dragon.
The hardened scales of the Flame-Patterned Giant Dragon shone brilliantly in the sunlight like hefty scales, emitting a faint red glow.
But under the invasion of the black fog, the scales visibly dulled, and some wounds on the body surface began to fester, the wounds extending inward.
This rate of corrosion was abnormal!
Even the Scorching Law controlled by the Flame-Patterned Giant Dragon couldn't completely dispel it but only barely resisted, still falling on the losing end.
A chill ran down Chi Xing's spine, Damn, another Transcendent mastering the Laws?
Are Transcendents who mastered the Laws as common as cabbages today!
And today, three appeared to besiege him.
Clenching his teeth, Chi Xing had no choice but to summon the One-Legged Thunder Ox.
"Hehehe, not a bad ox."
The black fog on the surface of the Demon Eagle spread.
To it, numerosity held little significance; it had faced many sieges back in the day.
Hence, the direction of its Law comprehension also tied to dealing with swarm tactics.
The thick black fog spread toward the nearby One-Legged Thunder Ox like a monstrous snake.

"Moo!"
Suddenly, a mooing of a cow came from the black fog.
The black fog surged, and the next moment, the Demon Eagle spread its hundred wings and flew toward the sky.
Chi Xing's face changed, and he quickly withdrew the One-legged Heavenly Thunder Bull.
This One-legged Heavenly Thunder Bull had also been nurtured by him to the peak of Transcendence, and it even mastered a Law.
He had obtained this Beast Taming at a great cost from someone else, and he had spent countless resources secretly nurturing it over the years.
He naturally could not bear to let it just die like that.
A layer of demonic mist covered the surroundings of the Demon Eagle, enveloping the One-legged Heavenly Thunder Bull, and Chi Xing initially failed to withdraw it.
Chi Xing couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, where did this freak come from?"
A freak?
The red eyes at the top of the Demon Eagle's head flickered, the crimson light becoming more ferocious.
It directly threw the One-legged Heavenly Thunder Bull into its belly.
The octopus that had been seized previously had almost been digested, leaving only its hard teeth inside.
After being thrown into the belly, the One-legged Heavenly Thunder Bull was enveloped in a large amount of black fog, rapidly corroding and digesting.
The screams grew even louder.
"Hehehe." Watching Chi Xing's angry appearance, the Demon Eagle felt a rush of satisfaction; it had been most commonly called a freak back in the day, and hearing the familiar term after so many years was quite displeasing.
If others insult me, I can let it be since I can't defeat them.
But you, an ant, also dare to insult me?
Still want to retrieve your Beast Taming creature?
My Power of Laws covers the surface of your Beast Taming creature, not leaving you any gaps; let's see how you retrieve your Beast Taming creature!
Beast Tamers had already appeared in his era, although at that time the human race was not as powerful as it is now, but there were still Ascension-level Beast Tamers.
Beast Tamers could recall their Beast Taming creatures and could summon them at any time; it seemed a very tricky ability, but in his era, many monsters knew how to counter it.
The simplest method is to cover the Beast Taming creature entirely with the Power of Laws, naturally disabling the ability to recall the Beast Taming creature.
However, this method is not applicable to all monsters because some have special Laws, unlike its Corrosion Principle, which can spread and cover the entire body of the opponent.
Another more advanced use of Laws is the domain.
Within the domain, the ability of Beast Tamers to recall their Beast Taming creatures is also blocked.
The domain of Laws is an advanced application method of laws, not known by general monsters.
Seeing his own Beast Taming creature being swallowed one by one, Chi Xing, though furious, had no choice but to flee.
Although Dong Fang didn't know whose Beast Taming creature the Demon Eagle was, from the brief clash, it was clear that it was not friends with Chi Xing.
He immediately asked the Demon Eagle for help, "Friend, please help me restrain it!"
Perceiving the sharp aura on the body of the Snow Bamboo Spirit Sage, the battle-experienced Demon Eagle grinned and its enormous body pressed down, wrestling with the Flame-Patterned Giant Dragon.
Not giving the Flame-Patterned Giant Dragon any chance to use its skills, the close combat fully suppressed it.
The Suspended Island Sky Roc held the Flame-Patterned Giant Dragon down, pressing on top of it.
"Come! Stab me!"
The Demon Eagle said righteously.
Seizing the opportunity, the Snow Bamboo Spirit Sage wouldn't give the Flame-Patterned Giant Dragon another chance this time; it aimed not for the heart, but for the head!
"Die!"
The Snow Bamboo Spirit Sage aimed again at the Flame-Patterned Giant Dragon, its body turning into a beam of white light, stabbing relentlessly at the Flame-Patterned Giant Dragon.
This time the Flame-Patterned Giant Dragon couldn't evade; its brow was pierced directly!
At the same time, the momentum of the white light didn't lessen, passing through the large gaps in the Demon Eagle's body...
The Flame-Patterned Giant Dragon's body shuddered, its head raised high.
It emitted a piercing scream.
The next second, its eyeballs rapidly filled with blood, turning crimson.
Its body burst out with immense power.
Its heart thudded loudly again.
It wanted to burst forth with divine power from its heart like earlier, trying to break free from the embrace of the Demon Eagle.
But the Demon Eagle was no Shield of Bi Mountain; its body shook a bit, then stabilized.
"Jiejie, little lizard, your strength is simply not enough."
Using this tactic inflicted great damage to the body of the Flame-Patterned Giant Dragon.

It couldn't be used regularly, only as a desperate, short burst when fighting for its life.
With the brow pierced and the head severely injured, even a divinized heart couldn't withstand such twice burst.
After all, all the organs of the body are interconnected.
A single hair affects the whole body.
Having a single strong part is not perfect, especially since the heart was not completely divinized.
After the brief consecutive bursts, the heart of the Flame-Patterned Giant Dragon groaned under the unbearable strain.
The ribs of the Demon Eagle slowly rose, like a giant mouth, slowly swallowing the Flame-Patterned Giant Dragon into its abdomen.
