The cave is situated on a massive, towering mountain peak, visible from the mid-mountainside. Around the cave, a Barrier Array is set up, isolating the aura of heaven and earth. Beside the cave, there's a gigantic, dark entrance, from which emanates bursts of the aura of Fierce Beasts.
The four of them descended, exchanged glances, and kept a close eye on the enormous entrance.
From inside the entrance came a roar, followed by the thunderous sound of four hooves. Suddenly, a blaze of fire lit up the entrance, turning the originally dark cave into a sea of red. Waves of heat surged out of the entrance, crashing onto their faces.
Roar! A Four-hooved Beast, about several dozen meters high, charged out of the cave, its entire body fiery red, with fiery red Scale Armor engulfed in roaring flames. Its fierce beastly eyes also burned with flames, having the head of a tiger, body of a horse, tail of a bull, dragon scales, and four hooves like eagle claws. The moment it appeared, the ground ignited in flames, even the air was distorted by the fire.
This Beast is the guardian Beast of the cave, with a Realm comparable to that of a World Marquis Level expert.
"Everyone, be careful, don't hold back. We have to kill it to obtain the Treasure." Kongtong Realm General said, flipping out his palm, a bronze-colored Golden Bowl appeared in his hand, flew above his head, casting down a golden glow to enshroud him.
This is Ji Lie Realm General's proudest Defensive Treasure, the Seven Gates Ancient Bowl, which can not only defend against physical attacks but also resist Divine Thought attacks.
The Heavenly Ancestor Realm General also looked grave, not daring to be careless. Although an Alliance had been temporarily formed, there's always the possibility of something changing midway, and each of them was wary of the others, fearing a sneak attack.
"Soul Extinguishing Pearl!" The Heavenly Ancestor Realm General lightly called out, five Magic Beads burning with white flames circled around him, protecting him within.
The other two Barbarian Demon Clan Realm Generals did not take out any Defensive Treasures; their flesh was the strongest Defensive Treasure.
Roar!
The Beast, with its body engulfed in flames, its beastly eyes filled with fierce light, understood that these few Cultivators were its enemies and didn't hold back. It opened its mouth, and a gigantic Fireball was already flying towards Kongtong Realm General.
"Evil creature, face your death!"
Kongtong Realm General coldly shouted, sending out a palm strike, covered with Gang Wind, condensing True Yuan.
The palm wind collided with the Fireball, and the gigantic Fireball instantly exploded into countless small Fireballs scattered in all directions. Those rocks and trees immediately turned to nothingness under the Fireballs, showing that the power of the flames was extraordinary.
"Are the two of you just going to watch?" Kongtong Realm General frowned and shouted.
This Fire Beast's Realm is comparable to a World Marquis Level, with its flesh and Divine Skills both being strong. He alone simply couldn't win. The Heavenly Ancestor Realm General, Bali, and Ba Ta also joined in the fray. Instantly, True Yuan roared through the mountain, with various Martial Arts and Magic Treasures smashing towards the Fire Beast. If it weren't for the array protecting the cave's exterior, under such a violent True Yuan assault, it would likely have long turned into destruction.
Yet even so, the places around the cave sans the protection of arrays were already in disarray, rocks shattered, and giant trees crumbled.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The Fire Beast emitted a fierce aura, forming a flame storm around itself, surprisingly able to ward off Magic Treasures and Martial Arts attacks, greatly weakening the power of the Martial Arts attacks. Bali and Ba Ta exchanged a glance, clenched their fists, their muscles swelling and wriggling like mice, their bodies enlarging by a circle. Being from the Barbaric Demon Clan, they were known for their formidable flesh, and now having obtained Asura Body, their flesh was so strong that ordinary Cultivators could not measure up to them.
The two immediately charged into the Firestorm of the Fire Beast, directly engaging in close-quarters combat with the Beast, their fists and feet striking the beastly body. Kongtong Realm General and Heavenly Ancestor Realm General, seeing this, also showed surprise. This Fire Beast was also a Beast, with formidable flesh and a Realm of World Marquis Level. Bali and Ba Ta dare to charge into the center of the flame storm, confronting the Fire Beast directly.
Yet the two's strength wasn't as great as the Fire Beast's; after a few close-combat strikes, both were knocked flying, their faces flushed, obviously showing signs of tumultuous blood and qi.
Kongtong Realm General and Heavenly Ancestor Realm General never ceased their attack.
Though strong, the Fire Beast faced four Asura World Generals, two of whom were Fourth Transition Asuras, gradually unable to withstand it, being wobbly under the assault, eventually blasted away by the high-class World-level Martial Arts displayed by Kongtong Realm General and Heavenly Ancestor Realm General.
Rumble!
The Fire Beast crashed onto the concealing wall, rocks tumbled down, its flames dimmed significantly, and beast blood seeped onto the ground. The beast blood, containing Fire Elements, evaporated into white smoke on the rocks, dissolving the stone directly.
Roar!
The Fire Beast roared in a fury unwilling to concede, turned around, and fled towards the cave, clearly recognizing it was no match for these individuals, unwilling to die in vain.
"No need to chase, obtaining the treasure is more important." Observing this, Kongtong Realm General retracted the Seven Gates Ancient Bowl, speaking rapidly.
"Alright, let that evil creature go." The Heavenly Ancestor Realm General also retrieved his Magic Treasures.
Bali and Ba Ta naturally wouldn't give chase either, as no one knew if there were traps within the beast cave.
The Fire Beast, beaten and severely wounded, wouldn't recover soon and wouldn't come out again to hinder their quest for Treasure.
This battle showed their formidable prowess, not only against the Fire Beast but also as a message to others that they were no easy pushovers.
Kongtong Realm General shot a sidelong glance at Bali and Ba Ta, a hint of meaning in his gaze, then withdrew his attention.
Among the four, these two were Third-Transition Asuras, but seeing their strong flesh and close-combat prowess made Kongtong Realm General and Heavenly Ancestor Realm General's hearts race, realizing that those who could reach the Asura Tower weren't ones to be easily triumphed over.
"Everyone, now let's crack this cave's array together and seize the Treasure!"
Kongtong Realm General said in a resonant voice.
Though called a cave, it was actually a quaint ancient courtyard, its exterior shrouded in the glow of arrays, a Barrier faintly visible in the sky.
"Alright, break the array, and the Treasure is ours." Laughed the Heavenly Ancestor Realm General. The four of them jointly unleashed Martial Arts to bombard the array, not seeking any method to crack it, instead directly using the most violent way. This array was originally ancient, its efficacy greatly weakened, and now under their joint attack, was on the verge of collapse, soon blasted into countless light spots, vanishing without a trace.
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
The sound of four breaking wind as the four dashed into the ancient courtyard. This courtyard was evidently a place where a very powerful Cultivator once practiced and lived.
"Purple Frost Fruit!"
"Infinite Immortal Grass..."
In the courtyard, the flora grew abundantly, emitting a faint, pleasing aroma.
The four's eyes immediately lit up; these weren't ordinary plants but some magical Immortal Herbs, Immortal Flowers, Immortal Fruits, extremely precious. Moreover, this Secret Realm had never been visited, these Immortal Fruits and Flowers had aged well, and their prices were remarkable.
For instance, that Purple Frost Fruit was a purple fruit tree bearing fruits resembling ice crystals, crystalline and translucent, exuding wisps of Cold Energy and White Fog.
"Demon Spirit Holy Milk!"
Bali and Ba Ta saw a pool inside the courtyard filled with milky white liquid, and were shocked to the point of stopping their breath.
"The two of us want this Demon Spirit Holy Milk; as for the other things, you can just share some with us." Bali suddenly spoke, his gaze falling on Kongtong Realm General and Heavenly Ancestor Realm General.
