Chapter 496

The sudden change was out of everyone's expectations. After a late Primal Core expert died, the black energy continued to surge toward the Primal Core experts guarding the outer perimeter.

The same scene appeared once more. Any expert that was swept by the black energy would instantly turn to dust and disappear.

This black energy was very fast. No one could dodge it. As long as they were swept by it, many Primal Core experts seemed to be frozen in place and then directly dissipated.

"This is spatial turbulence, true spatial turbulence!"

In the distance, someone cried out in alarm. This black energy wasn't man-made. It was the energy of the chaotic flow of space. It was the true chaotic flow of space. It was extremely terrifying.

Shi Ling only trembled for a moment before returning to normal. The violent spatial turbulence had only leaked out a sliver of spatial energy. However, this sliver of energy was actually so terrifying that it had silently killed a late stage Primal Core Realm expert and more than ten early stage Primal Core Realm experts.

The black energy slowly dissipated, but it wasn't over yet. A huge beast claw suddenly appeared in the newly formed spatial channel. It was like a millstone, and it slammed toward a late Primal Core expert.

The late Primal Core expert did his best to block. His Pill Weapon shone resplendently as it struck the beast claw.

Clang!

Sparks flew as the Pill Weapon collided with the beast claw. The beast claw was comparable to refined metal, and it forcibly sent the Pill Weapon flying. At the same time, the late Primal Core expert was also sent flying, coughing up blood.

"Boom!"

The claw landed in the void as if it had landed on solid ground. It caused the sky to tremble, and then a large area of the void shattered. As cracks spread, spatial ripples spread. Even more Primal Core experts were sent flying, and quite a few Pill Weapons were knocked out of their hands.

"This, this is an Ancient Beast. An Ancient Beast has really appeared."

"But this Ancient Beast is too strong."

In the distance, the shocked crowd was dumbfounded once more. The Ancient Beast hadn't appeared yet. Just a single claw was enough to send a late Primal Core expert flying. If its true body appeared, wouldn't it be even more terrifying?

"Boom!"

The void shattered once more, and the Ancient Beast's other claw appeared in the channel.

With such power, everyone retreated to avoid being affected. Zi Chen and the monk also retreated. The devil ape also poked its head out of Zi Chen's chest.

Two beast claws appeared, followed by a head. This head was comparable to a small mountain. It forcibly squeezed out of the black tunnel. This was the head of a wolf, ferocious and terrifying. On its forehead, there was a single horn that emitted a cold light, like a sharp sword that could reach the heavens.

Its eyes were as red as blood and emitted a bloodthirsty light. After the wolf head squeezed out of the tunnel, a tyrannical aura surged. Its bloodthirsty eyes were filled with ferocious killing intent.

It was a one-horned wolf.

The back half of the wolf's body also squeezed out of the tunnel. It stood in the air like a mountain peak. Its aura was violent, and endless killing intent surged as it looked down at everyone.

This was an Ancient Beast. Its entire body was filled with treasures, and yet it was incomparably powerful. Even though there were more than a hundred Core Essences surrounding it, and Pill Weapons glittered, it didn't fear them.

"Bastard, die!"

A late-stage Primordial Core cultivator charged at the horned wolf. Boundless energy surged, and his Pill Weapon released a powerful aura.

"Boom!"

Before the attack arrived, the space was unable to withstand it and directly exploded. This was a powerful attack from a late-stage Primal Core cultivator. It was more than a hundred times stronger than an early-stage Primal Core cultivator.

CLANG!

However, when such an attack landed on the wolf's body, there was a clanging sound. Sparks flew everywhere, and the Pill Weapon was forced back. The powerful attack of a late-stage Primal Core cultivator actually didn't break through the wolf's defense.

A trace of disdain appeared in the wolf's red eyes. Its front claw struck the late-stage Primal Core cultivator's chest.

It was just a simple strike, but it made the late-stage Primal Core cultivator cough up blood. His bones cracked like beans being fried. At the same time, before the late-stage Primal Core cultivator could fly back, he felt his vision darken.

It was the one-horned wolf that opened its bloody mouth and bit at the other party. Its two rows of sharp teeth were like sharp blades, flashing with a cold light.

"NO!"

Shouted the late-stage Primal Core expert. His eyes were filled with terror. His body shone with a resplendent light as he tried to flee. But it was already too late. With a crunching sound, the late-stage Primal Core expert's body was torn apart by the wolf and swallowed.

This was an extremely shocking scene. A powerful late-stage Primal Core cultivator couldn't even block a single attack and was swallowed by the wolf.

Seeing this, the other Primal Core cultivators were filled with terror. They immediately turned and fled. If it could swallow a late-stage Primal Core cultivator in one go, there was no need to mention them. Clearly, the two sides were not even on the same level.

"ROAR!"

The single-horned wolf's crimson eyes swept across the group of escaping experts, and the coldness in its eyes intensified. It howled at the sky, and its voice was like thunder exploding in the sky. Then, the wolf opened its bloody mouth again and sucked in the group of people.

The wolf's bloody mouth transformed into a whirlpool, producing a boundless suction force. It was like a bottomless pit, deep and dark.

The ground quaked, and ancient trees were uprooted. Mountains trembled as they were lifted off the ground. The fleeing Core Essence cultivators began to fall back. Because of the gravitational force, everything within dozens of kilometers was sucked in by the black hole.

Hundreds of miles away, the crowd stared at this scene in shock. The surrounding dozens of miles had become a vacuum zone. There were dozens of Primal Core cultivators within the range of the suction force. Among them, there were three late Primal Core cultivators.

"That's a Heaven Devouring Wolf!"

Beside Zi Chen, the monk suddenly let out a strange cry. "Heavens, it really is a Heaven Devouring Wolf! It even knows its innate divine ability! It's a true ancient beast!"

The monk excitedly shouted, "Its essence blood is no weaker than precious medicines. Once we kill it, we'll really be rich!"

Before the monk could laugh, Zi Chen covered his mouth and shouted, "You dare to covet such a thing? Are you courting death?"

The Heaven Devouring Wolf's spiritual perception was very sharp. It had heard every single word of Zi Chen and the monk's conversation. One coveted its precious blood, while the other called it a thing. This ancient beast, whose intelligence was even higher than humans, was instantly infuriated.

It raised its head and saw Shi Ling above its head. Suddenly, there was a hint of fear in its red eyes. Only then did it give up the idea of rushing over to kill the two of them. However, it did not want to let them go just like that. It waved its claw at the void.

"Run!"

Just as the Sky-Devouring Wolf waved its claws, the Devil Ape sent out a voice transmission. It roared loudly, and its body was surrounded by black light. Together with Zi Chen, it disappeared from the spot.

As for the monk, his reaction was also slow. In the blink of an eye, he turned into golden light and vanished.

"Boom!"

Just as the two of them left, the space they were standing in shattered. An illusory claw appeared, shattering the world. In that instant, over a dozen experts were swept away. They didn't even have time to scream before their bodies exploded.

Dozens of miles away, Zi Chen and the monk reappeared. Their faces were filled with fear.

Below the black passageway, when the huge wolf saw that its attack was actually dodged, a look of shock appeared in its eyes.

This was just a small interlude. The Heaven Devouring Wolf's innate ability had already been revealed. It was bound to devour everyone. During this time, over a dozen Primal Core experts had already been devoured. There were even more Primal Core experts bitterly holding on. However, they were constantly retreating. It was only a matter of time before they were devoured.

"A Heaven Devouring Wolf that knows its innate ability can be considered a pure-blooded ancient beast." Just as the others were about to be devoured, an indifferent voice suddenly rang out from the sky.

Then, a huge palm print fell from the sky and struck the black hole. Under the violent surge of energy, the black hole was blown apart.

The Heaven Devouring Wolf howled in pain. There was a clear handprint on its forehead, but it didn't bleed.

"Eh, it didn't break through the defense. This defense is indeed strong."

The indifferent voice was surprised. Then, the space trembled. Another huge palm appeared. The palm covered the sky, emitting a terrifying aura. It slammed towards the Heaven Devouring Wolf.

ROAR!

The Heaven Devouring Wolf's eyes were full of unyielding. The aura around its body became more violent. It stretched out its right claw to hit the palm.

"Bang."

The claw collided with the huge palm, causing a huge shock wave. The surrounding space began to shatter. However, in the sky, the tunnel that Shi Ling was suppressing was still stable.

The Heaven Devouring Wolf was obviously at a disadvantage again. It howled in anger and was about to rush into the sky.

"Bang."

But just as it rushed out, it retreated and howled. Shi Ling shone, forming a huge barrier, preventing it from rushing.

ROAR!

The Heaven Devouring Wolf roared in anger. It looked at Shi Ling again, its eyes full of fear. Then, it turned its head and went into the tunnel.

"Humph, since you're here, don't leave."

"Stay."

A cold voice sounded in the sky. This time, there were several of them. After the voice sounded, numerous palm prints appeared, shattering the sky and hitting towards the Heaven Devouring Wolf.

There were five palm prints, covering the sky. The terrifying aura made people tremble. Helpless, the Heaven Devouring Wolf could only block.

In between its eyebrows, the horn shone brightly, shooting out a beam of light. The beam was like a sharp sword, going against the sky and piercing through one of the palm prints.

Then, its sharp claws slammed out again, hitting another palm print. At the same time, it activated its special ability for the second time. The black hole that could swallow everything appeared again.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Explosions sounded in the sky. The palm prints exploded one after another. However, after destroying three of them, there were still two that hit the Heaven Devouring Wolf.

In the surge of energy, the Heaven Devouring Wolf let out a mournful howl. It was injured by the palm prints.

A bright light flashed in the sky. This was the blood of the Heaven Devouring Wolf. However, it was not red, but blue like a sapphire.

At the same time, the Heaven Devouring Wolf coughed out a few mouthfuls of blue blood. It was like blue blood rain falling from the sky.
