Roar!

A ferocious, devastatingly chaotic roar echoed! This roar sounded like a dragon, a tiger, and a monkey's scream, creating a distorting sound that could easily induce confusion.

Boom!!

A crushing impact sounded, causing debris of dust, wind, and energy to violently fly about. In the epicenter of this impact was a beast. This beast was hellish-looking! No, it would be better to say it looked as if it was born from a mistake in the heavens!

It had the body of a burly ape, the head of a tiger, and the wings of a dragon. Its arms had claws as sharp as a tiger's, but its feet were like palms of an ape. It had patches of random black scales and silver hair on its body.

A figure flew out of this energy impact, a trace of blood leaving his lips and a limp arm. It distanced itself a far enough away, eyes as bright as the sun itself.

”Incredible!” Yan Zaizen exclaimed. Earlier, he had been flying about as a bolt of lightning when a sudden shadow with ill-intent bore crushingly in his path. It flew at a speed that Yan Zaizen himself couldn't compare to and smacked him out of the sky.

During that clash, he couldn't react! Yan Zaizen had never experienced such a sensation where he was so thoroughly caught off-guard by anything or anyone since his path of cultivation. There had always been an instinctual indicator warning him in some form or way of danger. Based on that sensation, he would make a decision.

Sometimes, it led to fortune. Other times, he simply avoided it altogether.

After a period of fierce engagement, Yan Zaizen had nearly had his body completely shattered. If it wasn't for his fifth-floor Heavenly Genesis Realm cultivation and his comprehension into the law of rebirth, he was almost certain that he could've died.

After all, this was a Yaoguai! Not just any Yaoguai, but a Guai! A member of royalty or can be considered an aboriginal that embodied various world laws. This particular Yaoguai embodied death and destruction, causing its might to be fearsome beyond belief.

Yan Zaizen measured its strength to be at the Ninth-Floor! At least…

”It's strength is amplified by the laws of this zone...but…” Yan Zaizen felt somewhat stupefied by the course of events. It felt like his prophetic intuition had vanished. He couldn't even since an inkling of threat or danger, nor even feel the fearsome of this beast...as if his entire natural instincts had been suppressed.

”Could it be the Dao Heart?” He wondered.

Woosh!

The abomination of a beast jumped relentlessly towards Yan Zaizen. Its speed was beyond measure, and despite the initial distance between them, in a flash, it was before him with its claws slashing forth. Those claws emitted dark and violet light that seemed intent on destroying all forms of light on existence.

Yan Zaizen couldn't react! It was too fast. The claw made contact with him as he hastily created a barrier of death, hoping to siphon off the energy of the strike to weaken it, but alas, it offered very little protection. The claw penetrated the barrier like tofu and barely weakened.

”Ah!” A painful grunt sounded as Yan Zaizen felt his body turn almost into ribbons, his lifeforce being destroy as the energy within the claws penetrated his everything. The sheer force from the claw sent him tens of kilometers away, smashing heavily into the ground. A deep and vast crater formed with his body as the epicenter. The wounds on his body profusely bled as claw marks formed.

A surge of life and death to its extreme exploded from his body, transforming the deathly aura into life! As it did, it fiercely combated the remnant destructive energies until it ceased. His body slowly recovered. With heavy breathing, Yan Zaizen felt like he was going to lose his mind and his life.

Roar!!

This roar from the beast felt like a taunt. And indeed, it was. Yaoguai, particularly Guai, were highly intelligent despite their appearances. They were as smart as humans, cunning and aware.

”You filthy beast!” Yan Zaizen stood up, eyes as sharp and imperious as ever. A light of amber-gold effused from his eyes as he clenched his fist. ”I'll eat your heart for breakfast!” With his Dao Heart-influenced heavenly might, he punched forth a fist that contained the essence of death. This deathly essence wished to devour creation, devour the heavens, and devour this filthy beast!

However, the epic clash and comeback that was expected didn't happen. Instead, the beast roared fiercely before jumping towards this deathly essence with its wings spread and mouth open.

The next event caused Yan Zaizen to open his eyes wide in shock!

The beast sucked in a breath of air, consuming all the deathly aura into its body as if it was oxygen. It took a brief moment before all of the aura had been eaten. Afterwards, it sneered with its tiger mouth and its eyes were full of mocking.

”It…” Yan Zaizen was absolutely stunned. He had the thought that the beast targeted him because of his deathly aura...if so then…
