Chapter 181: Golden Immortal Beast

The air in the canyon remained thick with the residual crackle of the Heavenly Thunder Break. Faint arcs of purple lightning still danced across the jagged rocks, casting eerie, flickering shadows over the devastation left behind by the battle.

Chu Ying and Chu Yan lay completely unconscious, but a few dozen yards away, the nightmare was far from over for Jin Rou.

The Golden Diting cultivator writhed violently on the ground, his screams reduced to wet, agonizing gurgles. Thousands of blood-red insects remained burrowed deep within his flesh, their serrated mandibles locked onto his spiritual pathways as they ravenously drained the last flickering remnants of his Middle Nascent Soul cultivation. His body trembled uncontrollably as his spiritual energy continued to fade. If he were left in this state for another sixty seconds, his Spiritual Sea would collapse completely, leaving behind nothing more than a dried, lifeless husk.
