From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 423 Finally Obtaining the Extraordinary Treasure and Embracing New Challenges

That enormous figure, like a small mountain descending from the sky, rumbled toward us with a suffocating sense of oppression.

I squinted, trying to make out its true form through the swirling dust—my God, it was a monster covered in black scales, resembling a giant lizard!

Its scarlet eyes gleamed with a ferocious light, and its enormous claws left deep furrows in the ground; just looking at it sent chills down your spine.

A strong, fishy stench hit me, and I almost couldn't help but vomit.

"Hiss—" The monster let out a deafening roar, the sound waves spreading out like shockwaves, making my eardrums buzz.

The ground was trembling, and my heart was pounding wildly.

"Prepare for battle!" Black Feather's voice rang in my ears, deep and powerful, like a reassuring pill, calming my panicked heart a little.

I took a deep breath, channeled my spiritual energy to its limit, and conjured an ice-blue longsword in my hand, exuding a chilling aura.

The monster was incredibly fast, and it arrived in front of us in the blink of an eye.

It opened its gaping maw, revealing sharp fangs, and bit down hard at us.

"Get out of the way!" I shouted, pulling Hei Yu aside.

"Boom!" The monster's huge jaws missed their target, smashing a massive crater into the ground.

Dust was flying and gravel was flying.

I didn't even bother wiping the dust off my face before I immediately retaliated.

The ice sword in his hand sliced ​​through the air, carrying a sharp chill, and aimed straight at the monster's eyes.

At the same time, Master Li and other disciples of the immortal sects also made their moves.

Various spells, flashing swords, and dazzling lights intertwined to form a magnificent net of light, enveloping the demonic beast.

However, this monster's defense was astonishing. Our attacks only sent up some sparks when they landed on it, and couldn't hurt it in the slightest.

"Damn it!" Hall Master Li's face turned ashen, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

His immortal power was almost exhausted, and his body was swaying precariously.

My heart sank; the strength of this monster far exceeded our expectations.

If this continues, we are no match for it at all.

Just then, I caught a glimpse of Su Yao collapsing to the ground, her face pale and her whole body trembling, like a frightened little rabbit.

"Su Yao! What are you doing?" I couldn't help but roar.

She actually tried to escape in the chaos!

"I...I'm scared..." Su Yao said tremblingly, her eyes darting around, not daring to look at me.

What a guy who is more likely to cause trouble than to do anything else!

Just as I was about to go over and pull her up, I saw the monster's gaze suddenly turn to her.

not good!

A black energy wave shot out from the monster's mouth, heading straight for Su Yao.

"Su Yao!" I exclaimed in surprise. Without thinking, I rushed over and tackled Su Yao to the ground.

"Boom!" An energy wave grazed my back, the scorching energy burning my clothes, and a sharp pain shot through me.

I gritted my teeth, endured the pain, and shielded Su Yao beneath me.

"Xiao Yao..." Su Yao's voice was tinged with a sob.

I cursed inwardly, "What kind of time is this to still be crying!"

"Don't make a sound!" I whispered, keeping a wary eye on the monster.

The monster seemed to be enraged by my actions, letting out a deafening roar and charging at us again.

At the critical moment, Kuroba suddenly rushed up and stood in front of us.

"Watch out!" I exclaimed.

Ignoring his own injuries, Hei Yu brandished his longsword and engaged in a fierce battle with the demonic beast.

However, the monster's strength was simply too great.

Despite his fierce resistance, Hei Yu was still swatted away by the monster's claw and crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Black Feather!" My heart tightened, and a surge of anger welled up inside me.

"Roar—" The monster roared again and pounced on Black Feather.

"Beast! Stop!" Hall Master Li roared, launching another attack on the demonic beast with all his might.

However, his attack did not cause any damage to the monster at all.

Just as the demonic beast was about to tear Black Feather to shreds, suddenly, a loud voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth:

"You evil beast! Stop being so arrogant!"

A figure descended from the sky and landed in front of the demon beast.

That's... Elder Feng!

In his hand, he held a long whip that gleamed with golden light...

Elder Feng's figure drew a golden arc in the air, his long whip like a golden dragon, shimmering with dazzling light, as it lashed fiercely at the huge demon beast.

However, the guardian beast reacted incredibly fast, easily dodging the attack. Then, with a swipe of its claw, Elder Feng's beast was suppressed and unable to move.

"Damn it!" Elder Feng gritted his teeth, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

His demonic beast appeared so powerless in front of the guardian demonic beast, like a helpless little animal.

Elder Feng was extremely anxious, but couldn't find a solution for the time being.

Just then, a flash of inspiration struck me, as if an electric current had passed through my mind.

I suddenly realized that there seemed to be some subtle connection between the power of the rare treasure and the guardian beast.

That feeling was like... resonance?

I closed my eyes and tried to sense the aura of the rare treasure.

It was a strange energy, as if it were guiding me and telling me how to act.

I suddenly opened my eyes, already having made up my mind.

"Hold on, everyone!" I shouted, gripping the magical artifact tightly in my hand and feeling its power flowing through my body.

I infused it with my spiritual power, and the treasure emitted a dazzling light, as if responding to my call.

The guardian beast seemed to sense the threat, letting out a deafening roar as it pounced on me.

Undeterred, I met its attack head-on, the magical treasure in my hand transforming into a streak of light, piercing straight towards the beast's brow.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze.

The power of the rare treasure intertwined with the aura of the demonic beast, forming a powerful shockwave.

The monster's movements faltered, its scarlet eyes...

"Now!" I thought with delight, seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

The light from the magical treasure was like a sharp blade, piercing through the monster's defenses and striking its vital points.

"Roar—" The monster let out a shrill scream, its massive body crashing to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Its body gradually turned into specks of light and dissipated into the air.

"We succeeded!" Master Li shouted excitedly, and everyone cheered.

We finally defeated the guardian monster and obtained the rare treasure we had been dreaming of.

However, just as we were about to leave the secret realm, Pharmacist Zhao suddenly walked over with a solemn expression.

"News has come from the Immortal Sect that there seems to be a traitor within its ranks, and the situation is unstable."

My heart sank, realizing that a new challenge was about to begin.

We must return to the Immortal Sect as soon as possible to deal with this crisis.

"Let's go, time is running out," I said to the group, my gaze resolute.

We hurriedly returned to the Immortal Sect with the rare treasure in our hands.

The moment I stepped into the immortal realm, I made a silent vow in my heart that no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, I would overcome them one by one.

Elder Feng's voice rang in my ears: "Xiao Yao, this is just the beginning." His words carried a hint of barely perceptible expectation and wariness.

We all know that the real test has just begun.
