Chapter 709: Nascent Soul Stage Demonic Beast (Part 6)

The devil and human cultivators who were lurking nearby immediately seized the opportunity and rushed forward.

Just then, a powerful pressure suddenly emanated from above the cliff.

This pressure wasn’t aimed at anyone else—it directly targeted the Golden Core demonic beast that had been the first one to reach the Eight Stars Of Heavenly Jade Flower.

Not long after that, everyone could hear a terrifying roar.

The Golden Core demonic beast’s body froze in mid-air, its face filled with fear.

A Nascent Soul stage demonic beast?

In an instant, the same thought flashed through everyone’s minds.

"Dammit, how is there a Nascent Soul stage demonic beast here?"

The human cultivators and devils were equally shocked by the appearance of this Nascent Soul demonic beast.

A Golden Core stage demonic beast at its peak wasn’t much of a threat, especially since it was already severely injured.

Any team here could have easily killed it.

But a Nascent Soul stage demonic beast was a completely different matter.

The gap between the Golden Core stage and the Nascent Soul stage was very vast—far more than just a difference of a few small levels.

The Nascent Soul stage demonic beast swooped down from the thick, dense clouds, and with a single bite, it snapped the body of the Golden Core stage demonic beast.

The Golden Core stage demonic beast managed to let out a terrified screech before it was killed instantly, without even a chance to struggle.

A large amount of blood rained down from the sky, like a shower of red droplets.

Those people who were standing nearby felt warm liquid falling on their faces.

When they wiped it, their hands were covered in blood.

Even though that Golden Core stage demonic beast was weak, it was still at the peak Golden Core stage.

Yet it had no chance to resist in the jaws of the Nascent Soul stage demonic beast.

Seeing this, some of them who had been filled with fighting spirit began to lose their nerve.

However, some of them couldn’t retreat, like the group of devils and human cultivators who had charged out first.

They had rushed out from their hiding place the moment the Golden Core stage demonic beast moved, hoping to stop it from swallowing the Eight Stars Of Heavenly Jade Flower.

But now, they found themselves in a precarious situation.

The Nascent Soul stage demonic beast that had come down from the cliff, after killing the Golden Core stage demonic beast, immediately turned its cold, vertical pupils toward the two groups.

Anyone who dared to compete with it for the Eight Stars Of Heavenly Jade Flower was its enemy.

The Nascent Soul stage demonic beast let out a furious roar, causing the clouds above to churn violently from the sound waves.

An ominous atmosphere quickly spread.

"Ruma Yang, what do we do now? None of us expected there to be a Nascent Soul stage demonic beast above the cliff," said Hari Liu, who was among the first ones to charge out.

His face was turned ashen as he spoke.

If he had known there was a Nascent Soul stage demonic beast here, he never would have rushed out.

"The demonic beast isn’t going after the Eight Stars Of Heavenly Jade Flower; it’s just staring at us. It not only wants the flower, but it also wants to kill us," Ruma Yang said with a grim expression.

For a Nascent Soul stage demonic beast, Golden Core stage cultivators were incredibly weak.

Sometimes, it could crush them with a single finger, especially since this was a late-stage Nascent Soul demonic beast.

"So what do we do now?" Hari Liu asked, his resolve nearly gone after realizing the demonic beast was at the late Nascent Soul stage.

Even if they managed to get the Eight Stars Of Heavenly Jade Flower, they needed to survive first.

If they didn’t kill this Nascent Soul demonic beast, it would hold a grudge, and with more than half a month until the secret realm’s passage reopened, being targeted by a Nascent Soul stage demonic beast was as good as a death sentence.

"Now we wait and see who makes the first move," Ruma Yang said coldly, his eyes fixed on the devils across from them.

The devils seemed to have the same idea, their cold gazes meeting his.

"Nith, we need to come up with a plan to make this Nascent Soul stage demonic beast go after those human cultivators first," one of the devils said.

Under the Nascent Soul stage demonic beast’s cold gaze, cold sweat began to form on his forehead.

The pressure from the Nascent Soul stage demonic beast was overwhelming.

Nith’s eyes flickered with thought, "A late-stage Nascent Soul demonic beast... If it recently advanced, it might not even need the Eight Stars Of Heavenly Jade Flower."

"What good is that to us now? We’re the ones being targeted, and if we make a wrong move, we’re dead," his devil companion said, not understanding his reasoning.

"If it needs the Eight Stars Of Heavenly Jade Flower, it means its lifespan is almost ended, if it can’t break through before then, this late-stage Nascent Soul demonic beast is likely just an ordinary one. Maybe it’s not unbeatable," Nith said, a crazed gleam began to shine in his eyes.

Everyone could see what he was planning.

"Are you insane? Do you want to kill a late-stage Nascent Soul demonic beast? Even if it’s just an ordinary demonic beast, it’s still a late-stage Nascent Sould demonic beast. We might not even be able to beat an early-stage one, let alone this," his companion said in disbelief.

"I’m not crazy," Nith replied seriously, "If I can’t take on a stronger opponent, what kind of genius am I? How can I compete with other geniuses, let alone that person?"

Although he didn’t say it specify, all the devils knew who he was referring to—the man at the pinnacle of the pyramid, the target for all young devils.
