Chapter 1000: The Art of Devouring, Weakness (2nd Update!)
"Damn it!"
Sun Wukong secretly cursed in his heart. This devourer beast was really troublesome. Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor's arrangement was the most reasonable. Knowing that the devourer beast's massive body had incredible defensive power, capable of absorbing their attack strength and turning it against them, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and charge forward continuously, hoping to discover a weakness in the devourer beast to pass this fourth trial.
Fortunately, so far, the devourer beast hadn't shown too many other strong methods; its speed was also a major weakness. They could retreat in time when threatened, otherwise, this battle would be completely unwinnable!
Even for a strong Domain Saint Realm practitioner, a beast as slow as a turtle was still a headache!
Hind legs, no weakness!
Front and back, left and right, no weakness!
Head, still no weakness!
Neck... this thing didn't have a neck, the giant tiger head seemed to be forcibly attached to the massive body.
No weakness, absolutely no weakness!
The devourer beast's terrifying defense covered its whole body, and there was no hint of a weakness to be found. What should be done?
"Where in the world did this damn beast come from? Such an absolutely defensive body actually exists! The ancient heavenly court of the Yuan Realm is truly an astounding existence!"
The more Sun Wukong observed, the more shocked he became. This devourer beast was simply a perfect giant shield. If several such beasts appeared, they could completely block any attack!
The Yuan Realm's ancient heavenly court having such a terrifying beast, its strength was indeed beyond imagination. But even such a powerful holy court vanished in the river of time, what on earth did they go through?
"Roar~!"
Another loud roar erupted from the devourer beast's mouth. Everyone, however, paid it no mind and stepped back slightly for safety. It was fortunate they stepped back; otherwise, they would have suffered a big loss!
The tiger head of the devourer beast suddenly elongated from its round body, revealing a neck like white jade. It opened its mouth wide and fiercely inhaled toward Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and the others. Instantly, an extremely terrifying suction force surged from its mouth, sweeping towards Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and the others, stronger than the pull of a black hole!
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and the others were aghast, quickly mobilizing all their Primordial Force to resist the suction, barely escaping from it. In their gaze towards the devourer beast, astonishment resurfaced.
"My goodness! That was close! If we got sucked into this thing, there might truly be a threat to our lives!"
Leng Xuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Bearing the name of devouring the heavens, he always wondered why the devourer beast didn't show a hint of that power, only boasting incredibly strong defense. Now, Leng Xuan understood, the force of devouring all things was the devourer beast's true attack method!
The devourer beast indeed moved at a turtle's pace, but this devouring method didn't need high speed. If Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and the others hadn't had a premonition and retreated early, they'd likely have been dragged into its mouth and devoured by the strong suction!
Devour the heavens, let alone these people?
"I've found the weakness!"
As everyone marveled, Sun Wukong's eyes lit up. He finally discovered the devourer beast's weakness!
It's the neck, like white jade, revealed when it uses the devouring skill!
The devourer beast's defenses were strong to an abnormal degree all over its body, but its neck revealed when using the devouring skill was extremely fragile, completely different from the rest of the body!
If the devourer beast doesn't use the devouring skill, not even Sun Wukong's Void-Breaking Moon Eyes could penetrate its body to see the hidden neck inside. But once it's revealed, it's a different story.
Swoosh!
The devouring skill had no effect, and the devourer beast immediately retracted its neck into its body as if it had never been revealed.
"Wukong, are you saying the neck it reveals is the weak spot?"
Everyone heard Sun Wukong's words, and all eyes were fixed on the junction of the devourer beast's tiger head and body, where the hidden neck was the beast's most vulnerable part!
If they could seize the moment when it uses the devouring skill and launch a fierce attack on its neck to break it, they could naturally take the devourer beast's life!
Creatures can live without a head, but definitely, not this devourer beast! Otherwise, there would be no need to fight, they might as well go home and wash up for rest!
"Continue attacking, provoke it to use the devouring skill again and let the neck be revealed. Wukong, Tongtian, you two don't join the siege, wait for the right moment to strike this beast with a fatal blow!"
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor instantly issued tactical instructions. Sun Wukong and Leader of Tongtian exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
Among the six of them, indeed Sun Wukong and Leader of Tongtian had the most powerful attacks!
The devourer beast wasn't quick to use the devouring skill. They had been fighting for quite some time and it only counterattacked once. Just that once, Sun Wukong had barely identified the weakness, with no time to attack. If next time the devourer beast shows its neck when using the devouring skill and they don't seize the opportunity to kill it, the beast will undoubtedly be alert, making any further attempts extremely challenging!
"Creation and Destruction, go!"
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor led the attack, the spinning speed of the Creation Jade Disc in his palm suddenly accelerated, sending out beams of Creation Divine Light, forming various weapons like blades, spears, swords, and halberds, striking the devourer beast.
Of course, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor knew this wouldn't harm the devourer beast. He was just attracting the beast's attention, provoking its anger. Once the devourer beast was enraged, it would use the devouring skill again, and Sun Wukong and Leader of Tongtian's chance would come!
"Celestial Fox Iron Claws!"
"Infinite Yin-Yang, go!"
"Heaven-Shocking Nine Staff!"
Leng Xuan, The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, and Six-Eared Macaque also unleashed their powerful attacks, joining Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor in assaulting the devourer beast.
As before, all attacks were absorbed by the devourer beast's body, transformed inside it, and quickly returned to strike them back. Yet everyone seemed oblivious, not retreating a single step, continuing to launch stronger attacks at the devourer beast.
"Roar~!"
Being attacked repeatedly, the devourer beast finally couldn't bear it, letting out a roar and raising its head.
Swoosh!
The neck, white like jade, extended from its body, and it activated its devouring skill.
The opportunity was here!
