Without the protection of the sword array, Luo Zhan was clearly no match for the Great Mysterious Dog alone, so he could only flee in Luo Tianyi's direction.
Although Luo Tianyi was engaged in a fierce battle with two peacocks, he had been keeping an eye on the situation. Seeing Luo Zhan intimidated by the Great Mysterious Dog, he was enraged but had no choice but to dispatch one peacock to help Luo Zhan and bring the Great Mysterious Dog into his attack range.
Luo Zhan breathed a sigh of relief and engaged the peacock in front of him. Even though he was only at the eighth level of Golden Core, he was confident he could challenge an opponent at a higher level.
On the other side, the Great Mysterious Dog, having dealt with its opponent, radiated light, like a furious Asura Dog, and aggressively attacked Luo Tianyi.
The moment the male peacock entangled Luo Tianyi, the Great Mysterious Dog's sharp claws suddenly struck, landing on the coiled dragon jade pendant at Luo Tianyi's waist.
The jade pendant automatically protected its master, emitting a dazzling light accompanied by a faint dragon's roar.
However, the light only flickered for a moment before being shattered by the Great Mysterious Dog's sharp claws, striking heavily against Luo Tianyi's body.
Luo Tianyi staggered backward, creating distance from the Great Mysterious Dog. He looked at the three dark claw marks left on his once magnificent robes at his waist, his face terribly grim: "You beast, how dare you destroy my treasure."
"So what if Grandpa destroys it?" the Great Mysterious Dog responded arrogantly. Although its opponent was powerful, it was not to be underestimated.
After all, a trace of divine beast blood flowed within it, and if it were a pure physical combat, it was confident it could defeat him.
The Great Mysterious Dog showed no fear, its demonic power surged, and it unleashed its full strength. The Asura Dharmakaya appeared above it, launching a fierce attack alongside the giant dog and golden dragon.
Initially, the male peacock tried to assist, but as the intensity of the battle increased, it simply couldn't keep up and eventually chose to team up with its companion to deal with Luo Zhan.
The battle between the Great Mysterious Dog and Luo Tianyi intensified, with sword light and blood light soaring into the sky, as if they were fighting to the death. Along the way, sword marks and claw marks crisscrossed, leaving several zhang-deep ravines, and both sides consumed a massive amount of magical power.
However, Qing Feng, who was inside the Great Mysterious Dog's belly, frowned slightly. He realized that Luo Tianyi, as a direct Disciple of Dragon Yang, possessed extraordinary strength. Not only was his cultivation profound, but his adaptability was also extremely strong, clearly indicating he was a master tempered by battle.
Cultivators in the current era are far stronger in combat than in the past. Those who can break through to the Golden Core Realm are by no means ordinary, otherwise they would have long perished on the battlefield.
Even in a fair duel, if Luo Tianyi were equipped with a Human-grade Immortal Sword, the odds of victory would still be six to four.
What's more, Luo Tianyi possessed more than one magical artifact; in addition to that Human-grade Immortal Sword, he had seven or eight ninth-grade magical artifacts.
Meanwhile, the Great Mysterious Dog had nothing, and even if Qing Feng were to assist, the chances of victory remained slim.
The situation was extremely unfavorable for them, especially when they sensed that other Disciples of the Longyang Lineage were rapidly approaching.
By common sense, they should have arrived long ago. Why haven't they appeared yet? Is the Ziyan Lineage full of mediocrities?
Just as doubts arose, a powerful force suddenly erupted from the Bi An Realm, and a murderous aura permeated the surroundings, causing the swords in the hands of many Beast Taming Sect Disciples to hum involuntarily, as if welcoming their master's return.
Even the sword in Luo Tianyi's hand was affected, causing him to be momentarily distracted, and the Great Mysterious Dog seized the opportunity to strike him hard and destroy one of his magical treasures.
Luo Tianyi immediately distanced himself, looking in the direction of the power source, and exclaimed in surprise: "This is a Heaven-grade Divine Ability inheritance."
Then, he glared hatefully at the Great Mysterious Dog and swiftly departed on his sword. Because this power affected his Immortal Sword, it would be difficult to win if he continued fighting.
More importantly, with a Heaven-grade Divine Ability appearing, he had to contend for it no matter what.
The Great Mysterious Dog also breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was reluctant to admit it, continuing the fight would at best result in a mutual defeat.
"Brother Dog, quickly run towards the source of the power," Qing Feng's voice came.
"That's right, that place has become the core area now, and the experts of the Ziyan Lineage must all be gathering there," Xuan Dog realized.
"No, my intuition tells me Senior Sister is there," Qing Feng said.
"No way, don't scare me. That's the Golden Core zone, Qin Yue is only at Foundation Establishment," Xuan Dog said worriedly.
"Foundation Establishment does not prevent her from entering the Golden Core zone," Qing Feng replied. Although this was just his feeling, his intuition had never been wrong so far.
"True, that's just the kind of person she is, following her heart and forging ahead. So, we were actually saved by her," Xuan Dog breathed a sigh of relief and ran towards the source of the power.
At this moment, the Disciples of the Ziyan and Dragon Yang Lineages had already gathered there.
Among them was a pile of stone statues, one of which seemed to come alive, transforming into a majestic and awe-inspiring female immortal Dharma Idol, radiating an imposing and inviolable aura.
And beneath the female immortal Dharma Idol sat Qin Yue, focused on comprehending.
"Where did this stone statue come from?" Dao Lord Zisu frowned, asking the Disciple in front of her.
Everyone else thought this was the highest level of inheritance in the Bi An Realm, part of the Heaven-grade Divine Ability inheritance. But in reality, it was not.
This stone statue was merely a decoration, just an appetizer!
"It was moved from Ancient God Peak," Shen Ti replied.
"Moved from Ancient God Peak?" Dao Lord Zisu frowned in thought.
The changes in the laws of heaven and earth ten thousand years ago led to widespread slaughter, the prevalence of demonic sects, the blurring of good and evil, and the invasion of the Demon Clan, causing many first-rate Sects to vanish into the annals of history.
Even top Sects like the Beast Taming Sect had suffered heavy losses. As a result, many divine abilities were lost, and Ancient God Peak was where the Beast Taming Sect preserved past explorations of other Sects.
However, usually only things of little value would be placed there.
"That's right, the specific origin is still unclear," Shen Ti explained.
"It might be a treasure containing the inheritance of a certain first-rate Sect, but no one could activate it."
Dao Lord Zisu frowned slightly, "Qin Yue accidentally activating it can be considered a stroke of luck, but there must not be a next time. If any danger arises, the consequences will be unimaginable. After leaving the Bi An Realm, you need to seal your magical power and chop firewood for three months."
"Yes," Shen Ti respectfully bowed, feeling a slight relief in his heart, as chopping firewood for three months was not a difficult task.
No one knew about the conversation between Dao Lord Zisu and her Disciple.
In the Bi An Realm, everyone generally believed this was the strongest Heaven-grade Divine Ability.
Everyone's eyes were filled with longing. Heaven-grade Divine Abilities could seize the essence of heaven and earth, possessing unimaginable power. Since they had encountered it, they absolutely could not miss it.
"This inheritance has been obtained by my Senior Sister. Do you wish to violate the rules?" Men Shao stood in front of Qin Yue, vigilantly watching the fellow Disciples around him, even those from the Ziyan Lineage were no exception.
The allure of a Heaven-grade Divine Ability was enough to make some disregard their fellow Disciples.
"Where is the violation of rules? From the moment we entered, Martial Uncle Ji Zhou said that life and death are up to fate. As long as we don't kill fellow Disciples or sabotage them during their breakthrough, it's fine. Qin Yue hasn't broken through yet, so why can't we act?"
