Chapter 682 - 682: Finally Dead

Even so, the Giant Pig Blood Beast remained standing firm.

Its aura hadn't weakened in the slightest. On the contrary, it grew even more berserk and ferocious.

The Life Power of a Blood Beast was simply that immense!

Gushing blood from all over its body, the Giant Pig Blood Beast looked like a malevolent demon that had clawed its way out of Hell. It let out a frenzied roar and charged at Chu Qingyun once more.

"Damn beast, I refuse to believe I can't kill you!"

Chu Qingyun was growing frustrated.

"Blood Slaughter Sword Intent!"

Chu Qingyun swung his sword. Heaven and Earth Primordial Power converged, transforming into streams of accumulated Blood Evil Qi that, in an instant, condensed into a blood-red cloud in midair.

As the vast blood cloud roiled, a hundred-meter Blood Sword swiftly took shape and stabbed down diagonally.

SHHNK!

The Blood Sword transformed into a Blood Shadow, arriving in a flash. It plunged downward at an angle, piercing the Giant Pig Blood Beast's neck and pinning it to the ground like a divine spear from the heavens.

"Detonate!"

With a cold cry from Chu Qingyun, the Blood Sword violently exploded.

The Giant Pig Blood Beast let out its most mournful and shrill howl since the battle began.

Its neck was almost completely severed, exposing the vertebrae beneath. Viscous, dark-red blood sprayed out like a waterfall.

It was, without a doubt, a fatal wound.

But the Giant Pig Blood Beast merely swayed, refusing to fall.

After swaying for a moment, it managed to steady itself. It kept its deathly stare fixed on Chu Qingyun and charged forward on all fours with a thunderous rumble.

Its head, hanging on by a thread, and the blood drenching its body only added to its terrifying and savage appearance.

"Bastard... Damn it!"

Three consecutive uses of Sword Intent, and he still hadn't slain the Blood Beast. Chu Qingyun couldn't help but curse under his breath.

The Giant Pig Blood Beast's methods of attack were extremely simple—it could only ram and bite. To Chu Qingyun, it posed virtually no threat.

'But for it to still be alive after all that... its Life Power is just too insane!'

"Blood Flame!"

Chu Qingyun activated the Ten Thousand Spirits Saint Body Secret Technique once more. His body flickered as he met the beast's charge, then leaped onto its back.

"Devouring Power!"

A large amount of black Devouring Power surged from Chu Qingyun's palm. It spread rapidly across the Giant Pig Blood Beast's back and began to consume its flesh.

'If I can't beat it to death, then I'll just use my Devouring Power to refine it directly!'

The Giant Pig Blood Beast instantly grew agitated as it felt the Devouring Power consuming it.

It began to struggle and shake desperately, trying to throw Chu Qingyun off.

But Chu Qingyun's feet were planted as if nailed to its back. No matter how violently it thrashed, it couldn't throw him off.

This was where the Giant Pig Blood Beast's disadvantage as a "pig" became apparent.

Pigs, after all, are not a species born for battle.

It had neither a wild boar's tusks and coarse hair, nor a porcupine's quills. It lacked the sharp claws, long trunk, or powerful tail needed to dislodge Chu Qingyun.

Other than its massive maw, it had no other way to attack.

Now, it was completely helpless, forced to let Chu Qingyun stand on its back.

The Devouring Power streamed into the terrible wound on the beast's back, pouring into its body to directly consume its flesh and organs.

The Giant Pig Blood Beast let out a bloodcurdling shriek, but it showed no signs of dying.

But after only a moment of this, a massive surge of blood-colored Primordial Power erupted from within the Giant Pig Blood Beast's body, shielding its flesh and organs.

Resisted by the blood-colored Primordial Power, the Devouring Power's effect immediately weakened a great deal.

"This..."

Chu Qingyun's eye twitched. 'To think even my Devouring Power is being resisted!'

'If I keep this up, I'm sure I can kill it by devouring all of its Primordial Power first, then its flesh.'

'But that would take far too long.'

'The Blood Sect ruins are no peaceful place. A battle this intense has probably already attracted the attention of other people, or even other Blood Corpses and Blood Beasts.'

'It won't bleed out, destroying its organs doesn't kill it, and its bones are too hard for even Sword Intent to break... This is just too... huh? I have an idea!'

As Chu Qingyun fumed, his eyes swept over the beast's back and landed on its mangled neck. An idea suddenly struck him.

'The weak point of a Blood Beast or Blood Corpse isn't the heart or the body, but the head and the Blood Crystal!'

"Iron Thread Ten-Star Vine!"

At Chu Qingyun's command, the Iron Wire Ten-Star Vine Martial Soul Illusion instantly appeared behind him.

Under his control, ten thumb-thick vines rapidly sprouted from the Martial Soul Illusion.

He infused them with a massive amount of Primordial Power, befitting a level-one Martial King. The ten vines became as hard and sharp as javelins, whistling through the air as they shot toward the Giant Pig Blood Beast's head.

THUNK, THUNK, THUNK, THUNK...

With a series of dull thuds, the ten vines pierced into the beast from behind, entering through the mangled remains of its neck.

After piercing inside, the vines were quickly bogged down by flesh and Primordial Power.

But Chu Qingyun was prepared. Ten streams of Devouring Power immediately coated the vines, helping them push deeper into the Giant Pig Blood Beast's head.

When spread over a large area, the Devouring Power was resisted by the blood-colored Primordial Power.

However, when concentrated to clear a path for the ten vines, it was still effective.

The ten vines immediately churned the inside of the Giant Pig Blood Beast's head into a chaotic mess. Even so, the beast remained full of life, struggling and roaring endlessly.

Soon, however, a cold sneer appeared on Chu Qingyun's face.

One of the vines had finally found what Chu Qingyun was looking for inside the beast's head: a rock-hard, diamond-shaped object.

The Blood Crystal!

"Get out here!"

A cruel glint flashed in Chu Qingyun's eyes. He controlled the vine to wrap twice around the Blood Crystal and then brutally ripped it out of the Giant Pig Blood Beast's head!

The instant the vine touched the Blood Crystal, the Giant Pig Blood Beast shrieked and trembled as if it had suffered a devastating blow.

And when the Blood Crystal was dislodged and brutally yanked out, the Giant Pig Blood Beast let out one final howl, swayed, and collapsed, crashing to the ground with a heavy THUD.

A nearly two-meter-deep gash on its back hadn't felled it. A smashed skull hadn't felled it. A nearly severed neck hadn't felled it. Even with its blood nearly drained, it still hadn't fallen.

But the moment its Blood Crystal was disturbed and removed, the Giant Pig Blood Beast collapsed and died instantly.

"It's finally dead..."

With the Giant Pig Blood Beast finally down, Chu Qingyun let out a long sigh of relief.

He had to admit, the Giant Pig Blood Beast's immense Life Power had certainly put him under a lot of pressure.
