Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming - Chapter 848 - 842: 1000-Eyed Evil Pupils, Golden Cicada Shedding

“Boom…”

The first to attack Qin Feng was the dwarf controlling the mechanical puppet.

The mechanical puppet was covered with dozens of launch ports. With a series of clacking sounds, the ports that were originally scattered around the puppet gathered at the front, then shot numerous energy waves toward Qin Feng!

Qin Feng glanced at him somewhat unexpectedly, not imagining that this small, inconspicuous-looking fellow was so formidable in combat.

However, although these energy waves were not weak, their strength was relatively balanced and had an upper limit. They could certainly deal with regular middle-rank god-level entities; the multitude of waves could catch many off guard in an instant.

But Qin Feng was different; he wasn’t comparable to ordinary middle-rank gods!

He let out a low shout, not reducing his size, but merely casting several defensive shields around himself.

Although these shields were swiftly shattered by the continuous waves, Qin Feng didn’t expect these shields to block all of his opponent’s attacks, only to buy some time.

During this period, a layer of dark golden scales had already appeared on his body.

The tightly linked scales shimmered with a dark metallic glow. Numerous waves collided on his body but did not break through his scale armor, only forcing Qin Feng to take a step back.

Soon after, Qin Feng halted abruptly and charged at the dwarf driving the mechanical puppet, withstanding the wave impacts, covering the distance between them in just a few steps, and brought his fist down hard.

With a loud bang, he smashed the outer surface of the mechanical puppet, twisting and deforming countless metal parts. Two of its six legs were broken in half, and many ports were crushed, incapable of firing any more waves.

Though the mechanical puppet was not bad, in front of Qin Feng, it was somewhat lacking.

Just as Qin Feng was about to reach into the mechanical puppet to grab and crush the dwarf inside, he suddenly sensed the presence of water around him, with countless water blades attacking him.

Feeling the intensity of the water blade attack, even though Qin Feng was confident in his body’s defense, he didn’t want to directly withstand such a formidable spell. So, he gave up on crushing the dwarf and swiftly dodged the attack.

However, the water blades were under the control of the octopus monster, who had survived in the spiritless land for countless years, long accustomed to economizing and unwilling to waste energy.

So it did not continuously cast the water blade spells. Instead, it maneuvered the previously launched blades to follow Qin Feng’s movements, managing to increase their speed.

Clearly, it hadn’t been idle over the years in the abandoned land; its combat experience was extraordinary.

“Hmph!”

Looking at the relentless water blades, Qin Feng snorted coldly and was about to cast a spell for a counterattack when a thunderous roar resonated nearby.

Then the fierce ape’s body swelled dramatically; originally merely ten feet tall, it turned into a giant several hundred feet high. Though still gaunt, it was filled with immense power.

Nobody knew where it got a massive white bone club; it leapt fiercely, swinging the club through the air toward Qin Feng.

This wasn’t all. The spherical creature, frightened by Qin Feng’s Red Lotus Sword Energy, had fled hundreds of miles. Since Qin Feng was wary of accidents, he didn’t let the Red Lotus Immortal Sword chase far, so it returned quietly.

Furthermore, its originally several-feet-sized spherical body, currently attacking with full force, shrank instead of expanding.

Its taut, almost ball-like body caused wrinkles because of the shrinkage, layering upon itself to protect its core. Though losing its elasticity, the defense doubled.

Moreover, its previously small, seemingly ridiculous claws were now revealed due to the body’s shrinkage, appearing considerably more proportionate.

As its body spun and its claws waved, countless tiny space blades suddenly materialized.

It controlled these space blades to crash toward Qin Feng, attempting to ambush him while he defended against the attacks of the octopus monster and fierce ape.

This time, Qin Feng was a bit overwhelmed.

It wasn’t that his combat power was lacking; rather, his previous time in the Time River had drained him considerably, leaving him struggling while battling these creatures.

Like his body, originally intended for the Fatian Xiangdi technique to become a thousand feet tall, he couldn’t achieve it because his immortal power was insufficient, only managing to reach a hundred feet.

Grabbing the Flame Spear to confront the fierce ape’s aerial assault, he was forced to continuously retreat under its blows, trampling countless white bones beneath his feet, nearly getting smashed down into a deep pile of bones.

If he were to fall in, the opponents wouldn’t let him off easily, certainly attacking relentlessly.

Cough… Qin Feng naturally didn’t want to become a sitting duck, so he quickly used the force of the impact to turn and retreat.

But then the water blades from the old octopus and the spherical creature’s attack followed quickly, catching him off-guard and striking him with a series of attacks.

Although his scales were hard and his defense was immensely strong, Qin Feng still felt internal shock, with even his solid scales showing signs of breakage, and blood oozing from the cracks.

Despite his dark golden scales being immensely defensive, if the attack power reached his limit, he could still get hurt.

Moreover, whether it was the sharp water blades from the upper divine spirit level octopus monster or the chaotic space currents from the spherical creature, they sliced through his scales with a harsh sound.

If not for his profound body refinement cultivation, a slightly weaker Heavenly Immortal realm body refining cultivator could very well have had their body broken by these two creatures.

Though the strong healing ability of body refining cultivators allows them to reconnect severed bodies quickly, if the opponent’s attacks are unceasing, leaving no time for recovery, there’s nothing they can do!

Watching these opponents relentlessly follow up their attacks, even the dwarf leaping from the mechanical puppet to grab a massive device even larger than the launchers on his arms, sending more powerful energy waves toward Qin Feng with a raise of his hand.

Seeing this, Qin Feng realized the situation wasn’t favorable and wanted to retreat first.

He wasn’t so foolish as to confront a battle he couldn’t win.

Of course, if it were just these few opponents, Qin Feng wouldn’t be afraid.

Even if he wasn’t at his peak and couldn’t handle several monsters together, he still had a sizable contingent of spiritual beasts under his command.

Although his current strength was insufficient to fully utilize the Ten Thousand Beasts Formation, with his main spiritual beast upgraded to the demon immortal realm, alongside a Nine-Headed Snake, a Spider Demon God, and other powerful creatures, he would not fear his opponents.

Even if that Octopus Monster possesses formidable strength, at most it’s only a realm of Upper Divine Spirit in its late stage, and even then, it is not at its peak. Its power may have retained only half of its prime state. If Qin Feng truly released his subordinate Spiritual Beasts, he believed they could fight against their opponent.

However, aside from the Octopus Monster, there is also a Thousand-Eyed Centipede Spirit that is even stronger, which has left Qin Feng somewhat troubled.

Even if the Thousand-Eyed Centipede Spirit has not cultivated to the peak of the Upper Divine Spirit, it is undoubtedly close.

Moreover, besides its powerful realm, it has a thousand sinister eyes growing on the shell on its back.

These eyes were obviously not just for show; otherwise, they wouldn’t make Qin Feng feel such a great threat, causing him to keep a part of his spirit always on guard against Centipede Spirit’s sneak attack.

Qin Feng was sure that, given his current state, even if he released his subordinate Spiritual Beasts, they could not contend with these creatures.

After all, the opponents consisted of two monsters that were comparable to Profound Immortals!

The gap in realms isn’t so easy to overcome. Even though his subordinate Spiritual Beasts have many techniques and formidable war power in the same realm, most of them have only recently advanced to the Demon Immortal stage.

Except for the Life Tree, the other Spiritual Beasts could only restrain, hardly confine a Profound Immortal.

Thus, unless he recovered his full strength and released all his Spiritual Beasts to form the Ten Thousand Beasts Formation, it would be difficult to fight two Upper Divine Spirits simultaneously!

At this moment, seeing himself falling into a disadvantage, while the opponents relentlessly pressed their attacks, Qin Feng suddenly thought of retreating.

Unfortunately, it was already a bit late.

Just as he wanted to forcibly repulse the Fierce Ape, disperse the Octopus Monster’s Water Blade, kick the ball-like creature, and then retreat calmly, a chilling sensation suddenly arose in his heart.

Swiftly turning his head, he saw the Thousand-Eyed Centipede Spirit’s thousand eyes all gleaming with eerie scarlet light.

The Centipede Spirit had also seen Qin Feng’s retreating intention and wouldn’t let him escape so easily, seizing the opportunity while Qin Feng was countering the attacks of the other creatures to unleash the divine skills brewing in the thousands of eyes on its back.

In an instant, a thousand scarlet beams shot toward Qin Feng, extremely fast, making it very difficult for him to evade.

More importantly, such a large number of crimson beams with the Centipede Spirit having thousands of eyes meant it could simultaneously release a thousand beams, so in a blink, Qin Feng was bombarded by numerous beams.

Whether this Centipede Spirit cultivated some specific technique was unclear. Qin Feng only felt intense pain as the beams hit him.

Moreover, these mysterious crimson beams seemed to contain a power of dissolution, actually dissolving the dark gold scales on his body surface.

More frightening was that, given the scales’ defensive strength, they couldn’t hold out for long against the crimson beams. Soon part of them might be dissolved, leaving him only able to resist with his physical body power, and risking a severe loss!

This wasn’t the end.

As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. Just as Qin Feng was lamenting his predicament internally, the Octopus Monster’s Water Blade, the Fierce Ape’s hefty bone stick, the ball-like creature’s seven enormous Space Blades, along with the Dwarf’s powerful shockwave, simultaneously attacked him.

At that moment, Qin Feng was caught in an impossible situation!

Not to mention his current state not being at its peak, even at his prime, he couldn’t resist such powerful attacks simultaneously.

Boom, boom, boom…

A succession of attacks descended, amidst soaring spells and bone fragments, Qin Feng’s body was decisively blasted apart with a huge bang.

“Stop, quickly stop!”

The Octopus Monster hurriedly halted the actions of the other creatures from continuing their assault, even stretching out large tentacles to pull the Fierce Ape back, while extending another tentacle to separate the ball-like creature: “Don’t damage the treasures on his body, nor blow up his flesh, otherwise it would be challenging to gather enough flesh and blood!”

Upon these words, the rest of the creatures ceased their actions, all looking toward the battlefield.

However, upon looking, they were immediately stunned, followed by enraged screams.

For the figure that had been blown apart was nothing but a thin cicada-wing-like shell.

The real Qin Feng had already executed the Golden Cicada Shedding Divine Power and fled amidst the creatures’ simultaneous attacks launched earlier.

Qin Feng wasn’t foolish, knowing he was outmatched, he wouldn’t just resist them!

Besides, he mastered various life-saving divine skills, even if his body was literally blown apart, he could still resort to consuming a portion of his Origin Power to employ the Bathing Fire Rebirth technique to reform his body for another escape.

Of course, that decision would only be in utter desperation!

If there was even a slim chance, he wouldn’t want or be willing to use this divine skill.

After all, this divine skill consumes Origin Power. Although his treasures’ foundation could quickly replenish it, the cost-effectiveness was low!

Thus, he opted to attempt the Golden Cicada Shedding.

This divine skill’s effectiveness proved indeed satisfying, enabling him to evade the monsters’ onslaught silently, transform into a golden light, and stealthily vanish.

However, in this Spiritless Land, any Escape Technique used would leave traces, so despite the lack of conspicuousness in the golden light transformation, it was quickly detected by the Thousand-Eyed Centipede, the creature with the most powerful and numerous eyes.

Thus ensued a relentless pursuit!

After all, with their formidable power and the expenditure of so much energy in casting spells, letting Qin Feng escape would hinder them from easily replenishing the consumed energy.

Given this was the edge of the Abandoned Land, unless incredibly lucky, encountering another life form again shortly would be unlikely.

No life form means no flesh and blood, no energy, making it difficult for them to replenish.

Therefore, these creatures were currently caught in a dilemma, unable to do anything but follow closely in pursuit!
