Boom!
Amid a great explosion, the ground within five kilometers of the area began to shake violently as though an earthquake had broken out. Then, it started to rise into the air slowly.
One meter, two meters, three meters...
Earth and soil were tossed everywhere as trees and branches snapped and broke.
“What’s going on?”
The huge commotion alarmed the Magical Beasts in the basin. The four lesser deity-level divine beasts, in particular, even took to the sky and began to inspect the area, upon which they noticed the basin’s central region that had risen into the air, as well as the culprit of all these—Meng Lei.
The four divine beasts flew into a thundering fury at once.
The basin was their den, but Meng Lei was actually making trouble there! Wasn’t this tantamount to bearding the lion in its den?
He was going too far!
There were some things that one could tolerate and some things that one couldn’t!
“You lowly worm, how dare you act so presumptuously here! Die!”
The four divine beasts were respectively the Five-Colored Sacred Bull, the Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolf, the Rainbow Wood Toad, and the Great Earth Bear.
Despite not having transformed into their true forms, they stood at 1,000-feet-tall. Terrifying divine power spread into the surroundings, crushing down on all areas around them and sweeping through heaven and earth.
All the Magical Beasts in the basin prostrated on the ground in fear, frightened to the extreme as they shook like leaves.
They simply couldn’t understand—why had the four great kings suddenly gone into a rage for no reason?
“Die!”
Four attacks—a five-colored deluge, countless wind blades, wooden vines that looked like poisonous snakes, and thundering sound waves—imbued with surging power of divinity swept brazenly toward Meng Lei.
They moved with fierce momentum and blotted out the sky.
As though great mountains crushing down on someone, they were capable of destroying everything.
The corners of Meng Lei’s lips curled upward in response. He reached out a finger, tapped the air, and commanded, “Freeze!”
Buzz...
A mysterious wave of energy spread outward, instantly locking down the air within 100 miles of where they were. The fearsome attacks also froze in mid-air and became still and motionless.
“Disperse!”
The four attacks dispersed with a loud boom upon command, turning into countless glowing particles that dissipated in the air.
“What?”
“How can this be?!”
“Damn it!”
“He’s neutralized our attacks so easily?”
The four divine beasts were flabbergasted. One must know that they were lesser deity-level divine beasts. Although those attacks had been launched casually and without much thought, they weren’t attacks that one could easily just neutralize.
“Who exactly is he?”
“I don’t know who he is!”
“Never seen him before!”
“Not sure!”
Just as alarm and doubt filled the four divine beasts, four green vines grew rapidly from Meng Lei and turned into poisonous snakes that shot toward the divine beasts.
“It’s coming!”
Not daring to be careless, the four divine beasts were about to counterattack right away when something that shocked and horrified them happened. Their bodies... They couldn’t move!
“Damn it!”
“What exactly is going on?”
“Damn! Move! Hurry, mov—”
Blood drained from the four divine beasts’ faces. They struggled fiercely and tried to move, but it was all in vain. They simply couldn’t move no matter what they did.
“Misbehaving? I’ll put a leash on you, then!”
Four vines shot toward them at lightning-quick speed, winding around the divine beasts’ necks along with the momentum and restricting them.
Chapter 299: Life Drawing, Higher-Tier Divine Weapon
The four divine beasts were exasperated.
You destroyed our home, and you’re chaining us now. You have gone too far!
However, Meng Lei did not pay any more attention to them. He treated them like air and focused on capturing the monster beneath the earth.
The earth rumbled as mountain rocks rolled down.
The earth shook vigorously as a humongous being was dragged out of the ground. It was completely soaked in mud, making it difficult to decipher its appearance.
A forceful divine power spread into the surroundings the moment it appeared. The four restless divine beasts looked toward the gigantic creature.
“What’s that?”
“What fearsome divine power!”
“Out from the underground?”
Meng Lei swung his arm casually, and the mud on the gigantic creature flew off. Moments later, a majestic creature was revealed.
It had a body of a gigantic ape, hippopotamus-like mouth, steel needle-like golden fur all over, and thick muscles bulging like boulders—every part of its body was filled with explosive power!
“Golden Behemoth!”
It only took a glance for the four divine beasts to recognize this massive creature. What they were more surprised about was that there was a Golden Behemoth underground which they were completely unaware of!
“An intermediate-deity Golden Behemoth!”
Meng Lei nodded secretly. Even after 20,000 years, this Golden Behemoth’s corpse was still vivid without any signs of decomposition.
Such was a body of an intermediate deity, almost incorruptible. However, a black spear was stuck at the forehead of this Golden Behemoth. This must have killed it.
“This spear is very familiar...”
Meng Lei took out his Gods-Slaying Spear and compared them. He realized that they looked exactly the same—both were surrounded by lightning and nothing different.
“Another Gods-Slaying Spear!”
Meng Lei’s expression became awful. “The one that killed this Golden Behemoth was the same as the one that killed Ol’ Amos previously!”
“Damn it! Just who was it?”
Meng Lei immediately tried dripping his blood to claim ownership and did not face any obstruction. It was clear that the owner of this spear was already dead.
“My dear Ol’ Amos, you can’t even find this guy to take your revenge on anymore. That is simply tragic!”
Meng Lei kept both Gods-Slaying Spears and brought the corpse into the Tower of Time. This corpse was an invaluable treasure.
“As for the four of you...”
Meng
