Otherworldly Desert Dust

Those who practiced cultivation and evolution had large appetites.

This Tianpeng Mountain Pig wouldn't last many days, especially since after its death, it lost its mythical aura and experienced significant "shrinkage." The actual edible meat was equivalent to that of an ordinary adult pig.

Wu Hen planned to carry the year-end supplies back home. Just as he hoisted the pig on his back, the Ancient Sword in his body suddenly unsheathed and, without warning, slashed at the drifting snowflakes above!

"Buzz!"

The Black Glass Sword emitted a dragon's roar, creating a clear sword mark in the hazy, snowy sky, extending from the earth to the airspace of Red Snow Mountain!

It was this clear sword trace that allowed Wu Hen to see a majestic and heroic figure. The brownish fur fluttered in the frost, sharp claws gleamed like silver blades, and a pair of robust wings were slightly tilted, allowing its wild body to narrowly evade the sword!

Wu Hen was stunned, thinking it was a fierce tiger in mid-air. Upon closer inspection, he broke into a cold sweat!

It was actually a Qiong Qi!!

In the realm of mythical species, it was strikingly similar to a tiger, yet it possessed ancient sword teeth, Eagle's Wings, covered in sharp, hard bristles, and eyes resembling Blood Demon Sky Pearls, exuding a terrifying majesty.

Wu Hen was quite shocked.

This was at the foot of the mountain!

Logically, a powerful species like Qiong Qi should be in Red Snow Mountain. Why was it here??

Wu Hen's heart pounded fiercely. He immediately realized that the opponent had a gaze that instilled fear into other creatures, making oneself lose the will to fight and flee in panic.

Once he turned his back on it, this elusive and fearsome creature would surely pounce on him instantly.

Wu Hen maintained deep breaths, yet to his horror, he found himself unable to breathe!

The surroundings inexplicably turned blood-red, as if he had become small and entrapped in the opponent's Blood Demon Eyes. As long as the creature's gaze remained on him, he felt as if submerged in a blood-red pool, suffocating to the point of being unable to intake even a trace of oxygen.

The Qiong Qi's overwhelming power even prevented Wu Hen from mobilizing a sliver of Holy Breath to resist. Wu Hen, whose physique had already degraded, could barely withstand even a single claw from the creature!

Initially, Wu Hen thought the Qiong Qi had its sights set on the Tianpeng Mountain Pig he had just hunted, intending to rob him of his prey.

But from its posture, it was clearly targeting him!

He had heard from the elders before that Qiong Qi liked to hunt and had a preference for human flesh.

It seemed this Qiong Qi had been lurking around the mountain outskirts for some time, waiting for someone like him, who was gathering supplies for winter and alone!

"I can help you subdue it, but you must lift the restriction and set me free," the Divine Beast Bai Ze said from the gourd.

"No need, this heavy snowfall has made it hard to find prey, and it has delivered itself to me," Wu Hen flatly refused.

Qiong Qi was formidable, but the Divine Beast Bai Ze was surely more superior.

Wu Hen was well aware of their respective weights.

Since he couldn't contend with Qiong Qi using his own power, he would summon the sword directly!

"Little Yi, Thunder Crossing!"

Wu Hen held nothing back as he raised his hand to catch the Black Glass Sword that had fallen from the air.

The black virtual Dragon Tail coiled around Wu Hen's arm, and the sword's glaze-like crystalline blade fused with Wu Hen's arm. In an instant, golden waves of Thunder Crossing spread across his body, forming a splendid golden Thunder Domain that melted the surrounding icy snow!

The roiling Thunder Fire surged, contending against Qiong Qi's blood-red, intimidating gaze. Wu Hen's body was no longer cold and rigid, and the suffocating sensation from being submerged in the blood pool gradually dissipated...

Taking another deep breath, Wu Hen's breath became smooth again.

His dark brown eyes fixed on the Ancient Fierce Beast Qiong Qi, pointing his sword at it, and coldly said, "Crafty beast, how dare you offend your grandfather? Today, you'll either be my feast or I'll be yours!"

There would be both a victory and a meal decided!

The golden Thunder Crossing crackled in the air. As Wu Hen leaped, the Thunder Transition Factor instantly formed a strong electric field atop the mountain peak, like a golden Thunder Crossing Net covering the sky!

The fierce beast Qiong Qi flapped its wings, its massive body surprisingly agile. It did not collide with Wu Hen's Thunder Crossing Net but instead flew towards the ice columns formed between the mountains.

Upon reaching the ice column area, the fierce beast Qiong Qi suddenly let out a sky-shattering roar, causing all the ice columns to shatter. Under the control of its blood-red demon eyes, they transformed into sharp weapons, shooting towards Wu Hen!

Wu Hen swung his sword, cleaving through these ice columns as large as mountains. He knew Qiong Qi was formidable, so he absolutely could not falter in momentum. The more proactive he was, the more he could suppress the opponent's intimidating gaze!

The ice columns were shattered, but Qiong Qi once again displayed its terrifying divine skills. The jagged mountains around it turned into weapons under its command, attacking Wu Hen from all directions.

Seeing the surrounding rocky mountains rushing towards him, Wu Hen immediately activated even more powerful Thunder Crossing!

The Ninth Heaven's Thunder descended, with the sword as the guide!

An immense cloud of heavenly tribulation suddenly appeared. Following the command of the Thunder Crossing Sword in Wu Hen's hand, countless bolts of lightning fell like golden rain, sweeping towards this mountain range!

The mountain rocks instantly turned to nothingness. Even the massive peaks that had reached Wu Hen's side disintegrated into ashes in an instant.
