In just a ten-minute battle, Wang Lan and Yu Ruoyun unleashed their S-class Star Martial Skills as if they were free. Which of these Star Martial Skills wasn't a fatal move? Tens of thousands of Exotic Beasts were killed by their bombardment.

Spread across the mountainside like a surging river, the Exotic Beasts were easily held back by just the two of them. No matter how desperately they charged, the beasts simply couldn't breach the defenses of Lethe Canyon.

「Until...」

A monstrous roar erupted, a visible sound wave sweeping over them. Wang Lan and Yu Ruoyun, suspended in the void, felt a wave of dizziness as a deafening boom exploded in their ears.

Yu Ruoyun's figure suddenly became unstable, and she almost fell from the sky, but Wang Lan quickly and deftly caught her. Without even a moment to check on her condition, they saw numerous Exotic Beasts that had been densely attacking Lethe Canyon's defense line suddenly explode in mid-air.

Just a single roar was this terrifying.

RUMBLE—

The earth trembled as a huge Exotic Beast, which had been watching from a distance, suddenly raised its limbs and charged towards Lethe Canyon. The canyon's defensive terrain only reached about the giant beast's waist. For ordinary Exotic Beasts, it was an insurmountable chasm, but for this colossal creature, it might be a mere threshold.

The Exotic Beast's movements seemed slow, but only because of its vast size. In reality, it crossed two to three kilometers in just a few seconds.

Suddenly, the sword-wings on the back of the horned Exotic Beast crackled with electrical arcs, and its horn lit up instantly. A terrifying, massive orb of white light formed at the tip of the beast's horn. The orb shone like the moon, containing violent energy within.

With just one glance, Wang Lan felt his courage shatter.

"Hades Bone Card—"

Wang Lan immediately slapped his palm on the ground. Right in the giant beast's direct path, ten colossal Gates of The Underworld rose. These gates were twice as large as the ones before, and the patterns on them were even more mysterious and eerie.

As soon as the Gates of The Underworld rose, the beast's attack launched. A horrific beam, like a planet-destroying cannon, blasted towards Wang Lan's position in Lethe Canyon, viciously striking the first Gate of The Underworld.

The Gate of The Underworld was pulverized in less than half a second. The energy beam was unstoppable, instantly destroying all ten Gates of The Underworld and continuing its trajectory towards Wang Lan.

"Crystal Wall—"

As the ten Gates of The Underworld shattered, Yu Ruoyun's Crystal Wall swiftly rose. The Crystal Wall absorbed the lightning beam like a pond absorbing water. As it did, the wall suddenly lit up, instantly filling with countless cracks.

Star Power surged and boiled, sweeping over Yu Ruoyun like a fierce wind. Her clothes fluttered around her. Her pale face was streaked with crimson, and blood dripped from the corners of her mouth.

"Crystal Reflection!"

BOOM—

A beam of light shot up from the Crystal Wall, instantly hitting the charging beast. The beam struck its chest unerringly, causing its forward charge to halt abruptly. Its forelimbs flung high, and it toppled backward.

"Beautiful!" Wang Lan exclaimed in delight, his form instantly dissolving into butterflies. In the blink of an eye, he reappeared above the beast's head, his hands crossed to form a cannon.

The beast fiercely opened its eyes, each a full three meters in diameter. Within its field of vision, Wang Lan's figure looked as tiny as an insect. Yet, this man had successfully defended against its enraged attack.

Now, Wang Lan's hands were crossed as if he was preparing something. The beast's limited intelligence sensed approaching danger but couldn't discern its nature.

The next second, Wang Lan's Extreme Heat Light Beam blasted out from the makeshift cannon of his hands, directly striking the beast's vulnerable eye.

"Roar—"

An explosive roar burst from the beast's mouth as it sprang to its feet. The terrible sound shattered the space around it, and countless fragments, like flakes of peeling glass, rained down.

Could the beast withstand an Extreme Heat Light Beam of over thirty thousand degrees? Although the beam's lethal range wasn't large, it was precise—wherever it hit, it cooked. The beast's eye instantly turned a scorched white, not the white of an injury, but the white of being roasted to a crisp.

The enraged beast unleashed its fury, but Wang Lan, in the form of a Nether Butterfly, had already returned to the Lethe Canyon defenses.

Wu Shaohua, rapidly approaching from a distance, watched in horror as the beast's terrifying energy beam—a blast that seemed to pierce heaven and earth—tore through Lethe Canyon.

"It's over! You two ancestors, my dear ancestors!" Wu Shaohua roared, his body instantly undergoing Elementalization. Surging magma converged, transforming him into a thirty-meter-tall Lava Giant in the blink of an eye.

BOOM! His figure leaped, shooting into the sky like a cannonball.

Its eye injured by Wang Lan, the beast vented its rage before refocusing. It then charged towards Lethe Canyon once more, now wreathed in electrical arcs that formed a layer of thunderous armor around it.

Seeing the Exotic Beast, now wreathed in lightning, Wang Lan instantly realized this would be a tough fight. "Phoenix Form, activate!"

Wings of scorching flame rose from behind Wang Lan, a dazzling array of patterns enveloping his body. Star Power surged, and Wang Lan's aura instantly doubled in intensity.

Seeing Wang Lan activate his Phoenix Form, Yu Ruoyun didn't hesitate, instantly entering her Dragon Emperor Form.

Just as the two were about to merge their Star Power and attempt to kill the fastest-charging Exotic Beast in one fell swoop, a ghastly wail, like the howling of ghosts and wolves, suddenly echoed from the sky.

"You two ancestors! What kind of heroes are you trying to be at a time like this?" a voice cried from above. "Even a Titled Strongman couldn't handle such a gigantic Exotic Beast!"

"Huh?" Wang Lan looked up to see a figure trailing fire pass through the clouds, diving towards the Exotic Beast like a missile.

"Old Wu? You can fly?"

Wu Shaohua, hurtling himself at the Exotic Beast from the sky with a heart full of desperation, almost coughed up blood when he heard Wang Lan's question. Aren't your priorities a little outrageously misplaced right now?

Wu Shaohua admitted that Wang Lan and Yu Ruoyun were indeed very strong when they teamed up; after all, Sang Guo had been killed by their joint efforts. But an Exotic Beast of this level? Even a Titled Strongman could only hope to assassinate it. Without two Titled Strongmen, the odds of winning a direct fight are slim.

And these two? Two little kids, daring to flex their muscles at three gigantic Exotic Beasts? Is their meager flesh even enough for a mouthful?

If Wang Lan and Yu Ruoyun knew Wu Shaohua's thoughts, they would probably collapse in exasperation. We've already demonstrated such incredible power! Why do so many people still think we're helpless baby pandas?

And even if we were baby pandas, have they forgotten that pandas aren't just cute—they're fierce beasts! Pandas are bears, for crying out loud, beings with explosive combat power!

But the truth was often ironic. Yu Ruoyun's noble status frequently caused people to overlook her actual strength. Similarly, Wang Lan's dazzling achievements and his identity as the son of the Flame Emperor made many forget that their combat abilities were more than sufficient for self-preservation, at least enough to survive in harsh environments.

BOOM! A heaven-shaking noise erupted as Wu Shaohua ferociously slammed into the behemoth. A huge crater was instantly blasted into the beast's lightning armor.

"Roar—"

The ground shook as the giant beast collapsed, its massive body gouging a deep pit in the earth.

Wang Lan's figure flashed, dispersing into Nether Butterflies. With each flutter of their wings, his form flickered, vanishing in their ethereal dance. After ten consecutive flashes, Wang Lan reached Wu Shaohua's side and grabbed the older man, who was as limp as a dead dog. Another flash, and he crossed a kilometer to reappear beside Yu Ruoyun.

"Did you set a spatial coordinate on me?" Yu Ruoyun asked coldly, frowning as Wang Lan began to treat Wu Shaohua.

"I can't set coordinates on a living body, only at a specific point in space," Wang Lan quickly explained.

"Don't worry about me! You two, withdraw quickly! These three Exotic Beasts are not something you can handle..." Wu Shaohua, having been rescued, urged them frantically.

"Dragon and Phoenix Auspicious!" Wang Lan and Yu Ruoyun's Star Power instantly merged. Under the Star Power Fusion, the color of their combined Star Power suddenly changed, turning entirely deep blue. This joint technique made both of them sense a significant increase in each other's strength.

Each had believed their own power had grown faster than the other's, but unexpectedly, their increase in strength was perfectly matched.

"Immortal Law, Tiny Universe!"

Yu Ruoyun and Wang Lan were perfectly in sync; she instantly understood any tactic or thought he had. Thus, before Wang Lan even made a move, Yu Ruoyun acted.

The horned Exotic Beast staggered to its feet. It had been severely injured by Wu Shaohua's meteor-like collision, the damage no less than when Wang Lan had burned its eye.

Consequently, it rose a bit slowly this time, too late to dodge Yu Ruoyun's Tiny Universe. It was ensnared by the sky-blue cage Wang Lan had manifested.

"Wang Lan, strike now!" Yu Ruoyun cried.

"Extreme Heat Light Beam, Flame Flying Knife!"

The Extreme Heat Light Beam, a Star Martial Skill derived from the Flame Sword, had undergone a qualitative change but still retained all the characteristics of the Flame Sword. Any maneuver the Flame Sword could execute, the Extreme Heat Light Beam could also perform.

Countless Extreme Heat Light Beams, shaped like Flame Flying Knives, shot from Wang Lan's hands, fluttering like a rain of cherry blossoms within the confines of the Tiny Universe. This Tiny Universe technique, similar in ability to a domain-type Star Martial Skill, could infinitely replicate Wang Lan's attacks.

Yu Ruoyun had never used this ability before, at least not prior to her experiences in the Nine-layer Pagoda. Her Immortal Law: Infinite Conversion was already peculiar, but this Tiny Universe technique was even more bizarre.

"Roar—" The behemoth suddenly let out a desperate roar.

If Wang Lan's previous Extreme Heat Light Beam had merely seared one of its eyes, then the Flame Flying Knives, amplified by Tiny Universe, were like sealing the behemoth within a giant steamer.

The beast's size no longer mattered; under the omnipresent Extreme Heat Light Beams, its body was rapidly scorched. In just a few seconds, the behemoth was at death's door.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!—

Suddenly, several beams of light struck. Wang Lan and Yu Ruoyun transformed into whirling Nether Butterflies and dispersed. Oddly, most of the Nether Butterflies, normally immune to physical and elemental attacks, failed to escape in time and were trapped in place. Only a few successfully teleported to other locations.

The two reappeared the instant the trapped Nether Butterflies dissipated, looking nervously at the four new giant beasts that had arrived.

The previous attack had consisted of fine beams of light emitted from the mouths of these four giant beasts. These beams, despite their thinness, had managed to trap even their Dance of the Dark Butterfly—a truly eerie phenomenon.
