From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 413 Fierce Battle Against Divine Beasts, Seeking Success Amidst Peril

The Crimson Flame Sword hummed in my hand, as if responding to the tension and trembling in my heart.

The name "Guardian Beast" alone is enough to send chills down your spine, not to mention the oppressive feeling of witnessing it slowly emerge from the depths of the core.

Its enormous body resembled a small mountain, each black scale reflecting a dim light, as if mocking our insignificance.

Its scarlet eyes, like two burning will-o'-the-wisps, stared intently at us, radiating a chillingly malevolent light.

"Roar--"

A deafening roar erupted, seemingly capable of shattering the entire core of the immortal array.

I felt like my eardrums were about to burst, and my heart was pounding violently.

This roar was not just a sound, but more like a tangible impact, carrying a strong pressure that made it almost impossible for me to breathe.

"Get out of the way!" I shouted, and at the same time, I dodged a giant claw that the divine beast was swinging at me.

The whistling wind rushed past my ears, and I could even feel the scorching heat of the sharp claws cutting through the air.

The ground was slammed into the giant claw with a loud bang, sending debris flying and dust billowing everywhere.

"Cough cough..." I couldn't help but cough a few times, the air filled with a pungent smell of dust.

I looked up and saw that Master Qingfeng and Ziling had also dodged the attack in a sorry state, but the other disciples were not so lucky. They were hit by the aftershocks of the giant claw and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

"Damn it!" I cursed under my breath, feeling extremely anxious.

This mythical beast's power far exceeds our imagination. If this continues, we will be eliminated by it one by one sooner or later.

"Its scales are too hard; my attacks simply cannot penetrate them!" Zi Ling's voice trembled slightly, and her face was pale, clearly indicating that she had also suffered a significant impact.

"It's too fast, I can't find its weakness at all!" Master Qingfeng was also covered in sweat, his research had clearly reached a stalemate.

I gritted my teeth. This won't work, that won't work. Are we just supposed to sit here and wait to die?

"Blood Shadow! What are you doing?!" Suddenly, I noticed Blood Shadow sneaking towards the exit of the Immortal Array's core. This guy was actually trying to escape in the chaos!

"Hehe, you guys have fun, I'm off!" Blood Shadow said, turning back to give us a sinister smile as he ran.

A surge of anger rose within me. This guy is such a coward!

Before I could even make a move, the guardian beast seemed to have noticed Blood Shadow's actions.

It let out an angry roar, spewing out a dazzling energy wave that shot straight towards the Blood Shadow.

"Ah—" Blood Shadow let out a scream as he was struck by the energy wave. He flew back like a kite with a broken string and crashed heavily to the ground, unable to move.

"Serves him right!" I cursed inwardly. Although I despised Blood Shadow's behavior, now was not the time for infighting. We had to unite to have a chance to defeat this terrifying guardian beast.

"Everyone be careful, it has too many ways to attack!" I warned everyone, and at the same time, I swung the Crimson Flame Sword again and charged towards the divine beast.

While dodging the divine beast's attacks, I carefully observed its movements, trying to find a weakness.

Its strength is indeed formidable, and its speed is astonishing, but its enormous size makes its movements seem somewhat clumsy, perhaps...

Suddenly, I sensed something amiss; a powerful energy fluctuation emanated from afar… Fairy Lin and Elder Xuanfeng?!

"Elder, look!" I shouted, pointing into the distance...

The Crimson Flame Sword grew heavier in my hand, as if reminding me of my rapidly depleting strength.

Fairy Lin and Elder Xuanfeng did their best to use their magic to support us, but their power was limited and could only slightly alleviate our pressure at crucial moments.

Each attack from the mythical beast was like an earthquake, shaking me to my core.

"Xiao Yao, hold on!" Fairy Lin's voice rang in my ears, tinged with anxiety.

I nodded, trying to stay alert.

Sweat streamed down my forehead, blurring my vision.

The divine beast's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and a scorching heat filled the air, making even breathing difficult.

I gritted my teeth, brandished the Crimson Flame Sword, and tried to withstand its attack.

However, as time went on, my movements became increasingly sluggish, and the exhaustion left me almost unable to continue fighting.

Just when I was feeling desperate, the divine beast swung its giant claws again, and a sharp gust of wind swept through the air.

I instinctively dodged, but my gaze inadvertently caught a subtle change—at the moment of its attack, its abdomen revealed a slight opening.

The opportunity was fleeting, and I was startled. I immediately concentrated all my strength and unleashed a powerful immortal technique.

The Crimson Flame Sword shone brightly in my hand, heading straight for the beast's belly.

The sword flashed like a rainbow, slicing through the air and striking the opening precisely.

"Roar—" The divine beast let out a painful roar, its massive body trembled slightly, and its attack temporarily ceased.

This brief victory filled me with joy.

Sure enough, the divine beast quickly adjusted its state, and an even more ferocious rage ignited in its scarlet eyes.

Its attacks became even more frenzied, as if it wanted to completely crush us.

The core of the immortal array shook violently under its impact, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

"Xiao Yao, be careful!" Master Qingfeng's voice rang in my ears, tinged with unease.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.

Now is not the time to give up. I must find a way to completely defeat this mythical beast.

"Everyone, focus your attack on its abdomen!" I shouted, hoping to rouse everyone's fighting spirit.

Although we are outnumbered, as long as we work together, there may still be a glimmer of hope.

The divine beasts' attacks grew increasingly fierce, and the shaking at the core of the immortal array intensified.

I know time is running out, and I must end this battle as soon as possible.

Just then, I sensed a powerful energy fluctuation coming from afar, as if Fairy Lin and Elder Xuanfeng were casting some kind of powerful spell.

"Elder, fairy, I beg you!" I murmured to myself, and the Crimson Flame Sword in my hand blazed up again, pointing straight at the beast's belly.

No matter what, I will persevere to the very end.

At this critical moment, the divine beast's attack suddenly paused for a moment, as if it had been restrained by some force.

A surge of joy welled up within me, knowing this was our last chance.

"Now!" I shouted, leading everyone in a full-scale attack. The sword light was like a rainbow, heading straight for the divine beast's vitals.

A tense atmosphere filled the air, as if time itself had frozen at that moment.

Just as the sword light was about to strike the divine beast, a sense of unease suddenly welled up in my heart.

Mythical Beasts

"Xiao Yao, be careful!" Fairy Lin's voice rang out again, tinged with urgency.

I was startled, knowing that things were not simple.

However, the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released, so I could only grit my teeth and keep moving forward.

Just then, the divine beast suddenly let out a deafening roar, and the core of the entire immortal array shook violently in its roar, as if it might collapse at any moment.

My heart tightened; I knew this battle was far from over.

"Everyone, prepare for the final challenge!" I shouted, and the Crimson Flame Sword in my hand blazed up again, aiming straight for the divine beast's vitals.

No matter what, I will persevere to the very end.
