Chapter 1392: Gathering Sand Into a Beast
In front of everyone, the originally calm sandy ground suddenly burst into a sand column with a diameter of several dozens of feet. Immediately after, in front of them, this pillar of sand seemed to take on a life of its own, shifting its form and, in the blink of an eye, transformed into a gigantic demon beast resembling a giant bear over ten feet tall. But that wasn’t all; once this sand-formed beast finished changing form, it immediately lunged at everyone present.
This was a gigantic demon beast over ten feet tall, charging forward on the sand with thunderous roars, making the ground tremble. Everyone present was stupefied, staring at this sand-formed demon beast in front of them, their hearts filled with shock, thinking, what kind of Divine Skills is this that can turn sand into a demon beast? It’s simply unbelievable!
But they couldn’t give up, no matter what, they must resist. They still wanted to explore the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins, so how could they possibly die here? So, all of them rushed towards the sand-formed demon beast at once!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
In an instant, all sorts of attacks were hurled at the giant beast. It should be known that the weakest here were essentially powerhouses above the Divine Change Realm, and when they took action, the momentum was truly terrifying. It’s no exaggeration to say that even if a mountain stood in front of them, this attack could easily flatten it!
But the developments that followed did not go as they imagined!
Their attacks indeed hit the giant beast, blasting huge holes in it, but they were soon refilled with flowing sand, and the beast continued charging at them as if it was never hurt. Everyone was terrified, thinking, if their attacks were ineffective, how could they possibly kill this beast?
Wang Batian, Su Zhong, and other Human Immortal Realm powerhouses frowned at this moment, never having expected that a sand-formed giant beast would be impervious to any attacks. Even just now, their attack could easily have slain a late-stage Demon Immortal demon beast, yet this sand-formed giant was unharmed. This was truly bizarre!
But faced with this inexplicable giant beast, they could not think of any good solutions at the moment. Helplessly, they chose to temporarily retreat, intending to maneuver around this sand-formed giant beast and figure out how to solve this unkillable giant!
However, while they escaped, those from the Divine Change Realm and below couldn’t get away. The sand-formed giant’s speed was simply too fast, and only Wang Batian and others could rely on their strength to distance themselves from this beast, prompting a fierce battle to begin!
The sand-formed beast both pursued Wang Batian and others while attacking the cultivators within the Hidden World. Only upon engaging did they realize how terrifying the sand-formed beast was. With a mere flick of its hand, it sent a sandball the size of several people hurtling toward a few cultivators...
"Whoosh!"
The speed of the sandball was incredibly fast, reaching the vicinity of the cultivators in an instant. Seeing this, the cultivators instinctively launched attacks to shatter the sandball, but they did not anticipate what followed.
"Boom!"
The sandball was indeed shattered by the cultivators, but as it was made of sand, not Gang Qi, upon bursting, sand flew everywhere like a storm of bullets tightly covering the cultivators, instantly penetrating their Protective Gang Qi and hitting their bodies!
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
...
Amidst several screams of agony, the cultivators were sent flying, each of them battered to the point of resembling sieves, bleeding and turning into bloody figures, seemingly on the brink of death...
"This is bad, everyone, dodge quickly, don’t engage directly!"
Upon seeing this situation, Wang Pu of the Five Thunder Sect was shocked. He hadn’t expected such an outcome, immediately warning the others. The sand-formed giant beast was beyond what they could handle. Now, they could only dodge to survive, leaving the sand-formed beast to those Human Immortal Realm powerhouses to deal with, providing them with a sliver of hope!
The other cultivators understood Wang Pu’s intention immediately and stopped considering anything else, each employing the Secret Art Acceleration to escape. Only then could they survive, eager to see how the Human Immortal Realm powerhouses would handle this sand-formed giant beast!
In fact, the decision they made really was the right one. The sand giant beast, seeing no targets around, immediately focused its attention on Wang Batian, Su Zhong, and the others, and charged toward them...
Damn it, why does it have to focus on them!
Wang Batian, Su Zhong, and the others were furious seeing this situation, thinking how it was just like the first stage of Summoning Soldiers from Beans. Clearly, it passed by Lin Feng and his group, yet ignored them, focusing only on them. They wondered what on earth was happening, and what method Lin Feng used to avoid the beast’s attack?
But with the beast chasing them, they had no time to think about these matters. All they could do was flee for their lives with the beast on their tail, while trying to come up with a solution. If they couldn’t find a way to deal with it, they would be killed by this sand giant beast!
The people standing behind Lin Feng changed their expressions at this moment as well. They had realized this sand giant beast was far more formidable than Wang Batian, who was at the peak of the Human Immortal Realm. It was simply not something these people could kill. This beast was incredibly terrifying, capable of killing a Divine Change Realm powerhouse in one move. How could they be stronger than that?
Yet such a terrifying beast ignored them, as if it couldn’t see them, which barely put them at ease. Remembering the preliminary stage of Summoning Soldiers from Beans, they knew their current safety was due to Lin Feng’s actions. Otherwise, few of them would have survived. Thus, they could only stand silently behind Lin Feng, ready to flee if the situation turned dire. Even the four Human Immortal Realm powerhouses, including Xia Guangze, shared this thought...
Lin Feng furrowed his brows upon seeing the situation unfold. Although he could obscure everyone’s presence, this was not a long-term solution. This stage surely wasn’t one that could be resolved through brute force, much like the first stage. With this in mind, Lin Feng remained rooted, pondering their next move.
But despite pondering over and over, Lin Feng couldn’t think of a good method since there were no clues. Just then, Lin Feng had a sudden realization—this was a desert!
Sand, sand!
An idea abruptly surfaced in Lin Feng’s mind. He grabbed a handful of sand and closed his eyes. The people behind him saw Lin Feng deep in thought and immediately became cautious of their surroundings, not wanting anything to interrupt Lin Feng’s contemplation. They all believed in Lin Feng, who had led them through the first and second stages, and were sure he would find a way to get them through this stage as well.
Lin Feng stood like a statue, but Wang Batian, Su Zhong, and the others looked at Lin Feng’s side, which seemed easy and carefree with nothing occurring. They were seething with jealousy inside yet didn’t consider luring the sand beast towards Lin Feng. If Lin Feng could deal with the sand beast, they could also breathe a sigh of relief.
While they didn’t want to provoke Lin Feng, they were unwilling to let the hidden cultivators escape. After exchanging glances, they led the giant beast towards the hidden cultivators who had already dodged aside, intending to have the beast kill a batch. The benefits of the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins were substantial; fewer participants meant a bigger share for them, and they didn’t want those cultivators to reap the benefits while just tagging along.
The hidden cultivators hadn’t expected Wang Batian and the Human Immortal Realm powerhouses to be so malicious, leading the giant beast towards them. They immediately understood their intentions, turning pale with fright. They didn’t need Wang Batian and the others to attack; once approached, the giant beast would instantly kill them. Helpless, they could only scatter in all directions, trying to minimize their losses.
"Ah..."
"Ah..."
"Run quickly, hold on... Ah..."
...
As time went by, the cultivators fell one by one, not because they didn’t try hard to escape, but because it was simply impossible. Wang Batian and the Human Immortal Realm powerhouses were too fast. Even with escape Secret Techniques, they couldn’t evade them. The only silver lining was that they had completely dispersed; even if Wang Batian’s group led the beast in circles, they could only kill them one by one.
"They are really despicable!"
"These people are so wretched!"
"Hopefully, Lin Feng will quickly think of a way; that might save some of them."
...
Observing Wang Batian and the others’ deeds, Xia Lalan and the rest were furious, commenting one after another. But they had no means to save these cultivators; if they left Lin Feng’s side, they might end up like those people. The only thing they could do was hope Lin Feng quickly thought of a solution, woke up, and saved those remaining.
Yet Lin Feng remained like a statue, completely unmoving, as if ignorant of everything happening here...
Eventually, many of the hidden cultivators died, causing Xia Lalan and the others to become desperately anxious, hoping Lin Feng would wake up soon. Just as Xia Lalan couldn’t hold back and was about to speak to Lin Feng, Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes!
"Boom!"
A burst of Gang Qi suddenly erupted from Lin Feng’s body, like a shockwave that pushed the surrounding sand away, forming sand waves that swept outward, catching Xia Lalan and others off guard. But seeing Lin Feng undergo such a change, their faces lit up with joy, knowing he had surely thought of a solution.
