Chapter 500: Li Yang's Terrifying Strength

As the massive leopard-like beast charged toward them, despair instantly filled everyone’s eyes.

A Dual Pantheon Deity could instantly kill someone at the Peak of World Realm. They stood no chance of resisting.

It was easy to imagine their fate. At that moment, they had only one thought: escape immediately.

“Haha, run! Run! I just love watching you humans flee in panic,” the three-eyed leopard beast, Bao Huan, roared with laughter. Its claws were encased in a pair of golden gauntlets that pulsed with astounding power—clearly, they were a Divine Artifact!

In a flash, Bao Huan appeared before the Celestial Profound Sect disciples—the Foxman Race girl, Ling Yue, and Black Shield, among others.

At that moment, Ling Yue had completely forgotten about wanting to distance herself from Li Yang. Her eyes were filled with nothing but absolute terror.

‘That Dual Pantheon beast is coming for us!’

Ling Yue was terrified. Her power was only slightly greater than that of an ordinary cultivator at the Peak of World Realm—nowhere near the level of a Deity.

She had no hope of withstanding an attack from a Dual Pantheon Deity. In a few seconds, she would be a corpse.

“Black Shield, save us!” Ling Yue cried in terror.

As disciples of the Celestial Profound Sect, they had been given some life-saving treasures, which were held by their group’s leader, Black Shield.

Fear flickered across Black Shield’s face, but he didn’t back down. With a wave of his right hand, a Token appeared.

He immediately crushed the Token, and complex patterns instantly floated out. These patterns expanded rapidly, forming a thin membrane in the blink of an eye. The entire membrane was covered in dense, arcane sigils, resembling a tortoise shell that perfectly shielded them.

“An Array? A pity it’s so weak.”

The massive leopard beast’s expression turned savage as it swung its claws.

CRACK!

A sharp cracking sound rang out. The defensive membrane offered no resistance. A fissure appeared beneath the beast’s claws, spreading rapidly until the entire barrier shattered in an instant.

“Pathetically weak!”

The massive leopard beast roared with laughter, swinging its claws to end the lives of Black Shield, the Foxman girl Ling Yue, and the others.

“No!!”

Despair filled the eyes of the Foxman girl, Ling Yue, and Black Shield was no different.

‘It’s hopeless.’ Despair also filled Black Shield’s eyes. The crisis had unfolded so quickly that he hadn’t even had time to call for help.

But just as despair washed over Black Shield, a figure suddenly appeared before him.

Black Shield looked over and was stunned.

‘Mu Xu?’

He had no idea how Mu Xu had suddenly appeared before them.

Li Yang now held a seemingly ordinary spear, but it emanated faint, hidden pulses of power!

‘So, you’ve finally come?’

Staring at the beast before him, Li Yang’s gaze was calm. He swung his spear and thrust it directly at the massive leopard.

‘What?’

When the leopard beast, Bao Huan, saw Li Yang appear, his expression shifted. Li Yang’s speed had surpassed his expectations. Seeing the spear hurtling toward him, he didn’t dare to be careless and hastily swung his claws to block.

RUMBLE!

The instant he swung the spear, the very space around them shattered, unleashing torrents of destructive energy.

Seeing this, Bao Huan’s expression changed drastically, and he put all his strength into blocking the attack.

Finally, their attacks collided. In that instant, Bao Huan felt as if countless stars were crashing down upon him.

PFFT!

In a single moment, Bao Huan coughed up a mouthful of blood. His body couldn’t take the force and was sent flying backward, where he smashed into a large mountain, obliterating it completely!

Not only that, but the power radiating from Bao Huan’s aura plummeted, dropping by a full thirty percent!

Keep in mind, Bao Huan was a Dual Pantheon Deity, a being of immense power. Yet now, a single attack had wiped out nearly a third of his life force!

A single attack, terrifying to this degree!

Black Shield, who had witnessed the battle up close, was utterly dumbfounded.

Just moments ago, the mighty Dual Pantheon Deity from the Demon Race had been about to end their lives. Then, Mu Xu appeared, casually swung his spear, and sent the beast flying with a pained shriek, completely unable to resist.

‘Mu Xu’s strength… It’s terrifying!’

Black Shield drew in a sharp, cold breath.

He had previously guessed that Mu Xu must have a powerful backer, which was why he wasn’t the least bit afraid of the brothers Moxian and Mo Xuan.

He’d assumed Mu Xu had someone powerful watching his back, but from the looks of it, this was all his own strength!

Severely injuring a Dual Pantheon Deity with a single attack! What level of power was that? Was he a Tri-System Deity? Or a Four-Element Deity?

Black Shield was shocked, and so was the Foxman girl, Ling Yue, beside him. The last vestiges of despair had yet to fade from her eyes, but they were now filled mostly with shock and utter disbelief.

‘Mu Xu severely injured a Dual Pantheon Deity with a single attack?’

She was so shocked she could hardly believe her eyes.

‘Even a Tri-System Deity couldn’t injure a Dual Pantheon Deity that easily, right? Just how powerful is Mu Xu?’

‘This kind of power is definitely far greater than that of our Celestial Profound Sect’s Sect Master!’

…

Elsewhere, the Demon Race’s Dual Pantheon Deity, Wolf Annihilation, was confronting Mo Xuan.

Mo Xuan’s expression was grim. He’d forgotten all about dealing with Li Yang and was now focused on shielding his younger brother, Moxian, behind him.

He too was a Dual Pantheon Deity. Even if he was weaker than Wolf Annihilation, he wouldn’t be completely crushed.

His brother, however, was far weaker and hadn’t yet reached the Deity level. If he didn’t protect him, Wolf Annihilation would most likely kill him.

“Brother, save me.” Moxian’s eyes were filled with terror.

Just moments ago, he had been insufferably smug; now he was like a beaten dog, hiding pathetically behind his older brother.

“Haha, Mo Xuan! The last time we fought, two of you Human Race Dual Pantheon Deities together were no match for me. Now it’s just you alone. What do you think you can do?” Wolf Annihilation jeered.

“I’ll kill your brother first, then I’ll deal with you!”

He was in the middle of launching an attack when his expression suddenly changed and he looked off into the distance.

Over there, Bao Huan had let out a pained cry as his aura plummeted and his entire body was sent flying backward.

‘What?’

Wolf Annihilation’s expression changed drastically. Without a moment’s hesitation, he rushed toward Bao Huan.

He wasn’t the only one; the brothers Mo Xuan and Moxian saw it too.

‘What’s going on? Has an expert from our Human Race arrived?’ A flicker of joy ignited in Mo Xuan’s heart. He was no match for either Wolf Annihilation or Bao Huan, and his brother would likely die here.

Of course he was hoping an expert from the Human Race would come!

But when he saw the one who had made the move, Mo Xuan froze.
