NOVPUBLong before, Xu Zimei sensed something was off. Although the old gentleman was quite powerful, from any perspective, he didn’t seem to be the Good and Evil Beast.
This was also why Xu Zimei had overlooked the presence of a little girl in the inn.
"Brother, are you going to be locked in a cage like them?" the little girl asked Xu Zimei innocently.
"Let me see how strong you are," Xu Zimei said.
Spiritual Energy surged around him as he sent a palm strike directly at the little girl.
With a "boom," the vast white space trembled violently.
The little girl didn’t appear to do anything, she just stood still in her place. Suddenly, her figure moved to the side, dodging Xu Zimei’s attack.
"Big brother might as well stay," the little girl said with a somewhat ferocious smile on her face.
Instantly, an overwhelming aura surrounded her, rolling in like a torrential sea.
"Immortal King," Xu Zimei murmured, feeling the aura around the girl.
Power of Faith converged around her. Although her figure showed no change, the girl seemed taller and more majestic to Xu Zimei due to the Power of Faith.
The Good and Evil Beast stretched out its hand, with its palm wielding the might of Wu Geng, suppressing from above.
Xu Zimei could feel the pressure as he slowly drew Tyrant Shadow from his back.
He swung his blade mightily, and the sharp, piercing Blade Qi collided with the palm of the Good and Evil Beast.
With another "boom," the surrounding mist was scattered, and the Blade Qi was annihilated within it.
And yet the hands remained unbreakable as they descended.
Immortal King, this seemed to be the strongest opponent Xu Zimei had ever faced alone since he started his journey.
As the palms descended, Xu Zimei stood motionless in the center.
Eventually, the hands shattered layer upon layer of Space with Wu Geng’s might, landing a palm on Xu Zimei’s body.
With a deafening "boom," the explosive sound was enough to imagine the force of the strike.
All around, the whiteness enveloped the Space, the mist obscuring everything.
Chaos tore the legs of the monster, an illusion of the old gentleman, and tossed them aside.
At this moment, even the creatures in the cages turned towards the center of the mist, wanting to know the outcome of this battle.
The Good and Evil Beast frowned slightly, as the mist in front of her began to dissipate. She was certain that her palm had indeed hit Xu Zimei squarely.
The force of it could almost directly destroy a being of the Divine Vein Realm.
When the mist started to clear, a figure emerged faintly visible within it.
Xu Zimei slowly lifted his head, his eyes filled with thick Demonic Qi.
The Demonic Qi soared to the sky, piercing through the dense mist, looking at the Good and Evil Beast.
It seemed capable of penetrating everything, domineering and profound without end.
As the mist completely dissipated, there stood Xu Zimei at the center, unharmed.
He had activated the Prison Suppressor Demon Body, with layers of black and purple patterns on the surface of his skin.
He looked eerie and mysterious, with wisps of black Demonic Qi twining around him, shooting straight into the sky.
They seemed to completely merge and dominate the white mist of the entire Space.
Xu Zimei stepped out from the mist like an ancient Divine Demon, with the power swirling on the surface of his skin.
He slowly picked up Tyrant Shadow in his hand and said to the Good and Evil Beast, "It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a thrilling fight."
"What kind of Battle Body is this?" the Good and Evil Beast asked with a frown.
"You don’t need to know so much," Xu Zimei’s figure flashed as she directly attacked the Good and Evil Beast.
Meanwhile, Chaos was beside her, helping Ye Feiyang escape from the cage.
Blade Qi sliced through the silent expanse, mixed with the Creation Force and an overwhelming tide of Demonic Qi.
She executed the nineteen moves of the Way of Inquiry, where each technique connected and overlapped seamlessly.
Her blade was impenetrable, and coupled with her Heavenly Punishment Divine Pupil, she gave the opponent virtually no chance to resist.
...
Of course, Xu Zimei also recognized the strength of the Immortal King; the later stages of every realm were indeed extremely powerful.
Even under her formidable power, the opponent still managed to hold on desperately.
"You can’t defeat me," the Good and Evil Beast roared, "How about we make a deal instead?"
"No need," Xu Zimei shook her head slightly.
The prolonged battle had turned the space upside down to the brink of collapse.
Above the Tyrant Shadow, Heavenly Thunder rolled thunderously, with Torrents mixed with Earth Fire surging towards them.
At that moment, a profound and mysterious force surged around Xu Zimei.
Within her, the Nine Regions Grand Body that had always guarded her Divine Soul was activated.
The Nine Regions Grand Body, ranked among the top ten of the Hundred Great Battle Bodies, wasn’t only the best in guarding the Divine Soul but also second to none in attacking it.
Inside the Nine Regions Grand Body were nine layers of defenses, each guarded by the souls of ancient beasts.
Outside, when Xu Zimei activated the Nine Regions Grand Body amidst her fierce battle with the Good and Evil Beast,
a phantom of a grey wolf suddenly burst forth from her forehead, pouncing directly towards the Good and Evil Beast.
This was an ancient beast’s soul, and also the first layer’s creature, the Howling Sun Wolf.
As the Howling Sun Wolf lunged, the Good and Evil Beast had no time to defend and was directly attacked in the realm of its consciousness by the beast soul.
"You can attack the Divine Soul too," the Good and Evil Beast bellowed in anger.
At this moment, it had no desire to continue the fight; the pain transmitted to its mind was unbearable, compounded by the fact that it had been under pressure from Xu Zimei’s relentless attacks.
The Good and Evil Beast could only keep trying to escape, and as the chase went on, it was soon covered in wounds.
"You are too bullying," the Good and Evil Beast roared in anger.
"Are you even human?" Xu Zimei asked with a light chuckle.
"I will remember the humiliation of today," the Good and Evil Beast said, then roared resentfully.
Immediately, its figure vanished into the void and disappeared, and although Xu Zimei wanted to pursue, she discovered that the entire space had been sealed off.
She could break through this space, but it would take some time, and by then the Good and Evil Beast would likely have already fled.
"It’s their home ground after all," Xu Zimei laughed lightly to herself.
Though the Good and Evil Beast had escaped, the entire independent space was left to Xu Zimei.
She looked around at the thousands of cages, each imprisoning a creature.
While it’s true that the Good and Evil Beast was using others to cultivate and gather the Power of Faith, it was undeniable that those caged were definitely culprits of immense wickedness and grave misdeeds.
As for how to handle these creatures, Xu Zimei already had an idea in her heart.
Letting them go was certainly not an option, after all, these were extremely vicious and wicked individuals.
She turned her gaze to where Ye Feiyang was, only to see that he was contending with the seal of faith on the cage.
