Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming
Chapter 808 - 802: Devil Cloak, Sect Hierarch Comes to Aid

In mid-air, the Toad King's shell partially opens and closes, its graceful figure somewhat mysterious under the shell's seven-colored light, though its relative softness contrasts with the endless anger revealed in its perfect eyes!

It never expected this battle to unfold this way!

All because it, the Camel Dragon, and Coiled Python couldn't bear to give up the Metal Heart and refused to compromise, unwilling to let each other take the treasure, thus dispatching eight divine spirits to retrieve the Metal Heart for the three kings to evenly divide. But it turned out to be the beginning of a nightmare.

First, their actions were not secretive enough, allowing Qin Feng to follow, which led to the extermination of several divine spirits. By the time it arrived, Qin Feng had already seized the Metal Heart and absorbed some of its energy, becoming even more powerful, making it difficult to easily defeat him!

Then the opponent set up an immensely powerful formation, capable not only of gathering the power of ordinary spiritual beasts but also using this power to condense a formidable Demonic God Illusion, which even it dared not face head-on!

As the battle proceeded, even more alarming and maddening events unfolded, with more divine spirits perishing!

The earlier death of the Red Iron Ape God could be dismissed—a misstep on its part, not anticipating the Demonic God Illusion suddenly disengaging and attacking other gods.

But there was no other choice; the Demonic God Illusion's strength was overwhelmingly fierce, and it was unwilling to consume more Origin Divine Power and confront it directly, as it was economically unwise.

Its Origin Divine Power was precious, a product of years of accumulation, overt usage of which would impair its strength. Thus, it preferred to use its Origin Divine Power against Profound Immortal and Upper Divine Spirits, rather than waste it on the million ordinary spiritual beasts below!

Yet it didn't anticipate the human clan controlling the battle formation to deceitfully employ a diversion tactic.

What followed, even though the Toad King had been an Upper Divine Spirit for hundreds of thousands of years, moved it deeply.

For the final moments of the Golden Winged Great Peng were too fiercely bold; its death profoundly touched the Toad King's soul!

If all gods had initially exhibited the same resilience as the Golden Winged Great Peng, the Immortal and God Alliance's expedition army might have reconsidered its assault strategy—moving cautiously and possibly negotiating to avoid significant losses.

Maybe in the end, both sides would compromise, resembling the tacit understanding the Metal Divine Beings previously had with the Wizards, with the Immortals replacing the Wizards—a scenario not entirely unacceptable to the Metal Divine Beings.

After all, they still had the Metal Heart as their trump card, holding onto hope that once the Gold Element Path within the Metal Heart became completely independent, transforming from a divine artifact to an immortal one, they could give rise to a top-level divine spirit.

Then, they would have genuine authority, not only reclaiming the Flowing Gold World but worldwide expansion as well!

Regrettably, the gods were initially terrified by the Immortal God Alliance's overwhelming power, losing their certainty of victory, along with their edge.

As Metal Divine Beings, losing their edge led naturally to defeat. Quickly realizing their inability to match the opponent, they opted for swift retreats, resulting in continuous setbacks and vast territory being captured by the expedition army!

The Toad King watched the Golden Winged Great Peng self-destruct its divine status, unleashing tremendous killing power, observed the Black Iron Mantis God charging forward, only to be easily slain by several Demon Immortals in tandem!

Seeing the defensive shield conjoin and the other Metal Divine Spirits preparing for further reckless combat, the Toad King felt mixed emotions, unsure whether to stop them!

Clearly, the cost outweighed the benefits, as such sacrifices might not yield the desired outcome.

Yet what else could be done if not this?

Ordering them to retreat might preserve their lives temporarily, but without the Metal Heart, they could only endure so long before a decisive battle against the invaders.

Rather than dying amidst the invaders' onslaught later, it was better to muster strength now; if they could help it reclaim the Metal Heart, the Metal Beings in the Flowing Gold World might still see a glimmer of hope!

Thus after a moment's hesitation, the Toad King ultimately held its tongue, allowing those fervent Metal Divine Spirits to launch a suicidal attack.

For now, what it could do was charge down to engage the Demonic God Illusion, preventing it from launching further attacks on the other Metal Divine Spirits.

This also meant hindering the power of the battle formation below, as well as a large portion of Qin Feng's spirit.

In fact, at a critical moment, it might even follow the divine spirits down, breaking through the defensive shield's gap and entering the fray to slaughter ordinary beings!

With its strength, truly entering the formation would halt Qin Feng's Ten Thousand Beasts Formation.

In fact, the casualty rate among his spiritual beasts might exceed half, incurring severe loss!

Qin Feng discerned the Toad King's intent from its approach toward the defensive shield.

On seeing this, Qin Feng raised an eyebrow slightly, soon formulating a plan.

When the Toad King made another attempt to approach from below, Qin Feng suddenly maneuvered the Demonic God Illusion to again strike the other Metal Divine Spirits.

The unexpected move startled the Toad King, reminding it that when it approached below, the Demonic God Illusion could similarly reach the other Metal Divine Spirits.

Although its speed was somewhat faster than the Demonic God Illusion, the Illusion's enormous size—almost ten thousand feet tall—allowed it to near them quickly with a slight swoop.

To give its divine spirits a chance, the Toad King had to again intensify its attacks, luring the Demonic God Illusion far away.

Perhaps the Golden Winged Great Peng's prior self-destructive assault inflicted substantial damage on the formation, making the current Demonic God Illusion visibly more ethereal than before.

Moreover, as the Toad King intensified its power and contended against it, the Illusion's performance was not only subpar but seemed to be gradually weakening.

Could the formation below be nearing its limit?

With this thought flashing instantly through the Toad King's mind.

Indeed, the Demonic God Illusion appeared strong, but it was formed from the powers of ordinary spiritual beasts. Keeping it engaged with its formidable upper peak divine spirit for so long was quite remarkable; it couldn't maintain immense power indefinitely.

If the invaders were truly this powerful, they could easily contend upper peak divine spirits with hundreds of thousands of ordinary troops, making resistance futile—surrender outright!

Evidently, this human clan Immortal was an anomaly among the invaders, a very peculiar existence indeed!

Yes, once the formation collapses and the Demonic God Illusion dissipates, whether to kill ordinary spiritual beasts becomes secondary; however, this Immortal must be exterminated.

Otherwise, despite killing many spiritual beasts, he could continue to recruit subordinates and train them in formation techniques.

Only by exterminating him can the threat be eliminated from the sprout!

Additionally, the Metal Heart remains with him, and it must be reclaimed!

Otherwise, with just the small portion of energy Qin Feng absorbed today from the Metal Heart, he increased his power significantly, once even matching it in combat. If he takes the Metal Heart, he might grow to a terrifying level in a short time!

At that time, whether it remains his match would be uncertain; if slain by him on the battlefield, the regret would be unimaginable!

Convinced of Qin Feng's condition and the status of the Ten Thousand Beasts Formation below, the Toad King rejoiced, promptly adjusting its strategy by intensifying attacks while attempting to lure the Demonic God Illusion into greater exertion, creating an opportunity for other divine spirits to breach the formation.

Simultaneously, it secretly gathered strength, preparing to unleash a supreme divine technique and strike Qin Feng decisively once the formation opened!

But it didn't anticipate the battle situation would quickly evolve!

Though it felt the Demonic God's strength waning, indicating the formation's spiritual beasts were lacking in power, Qin Feng, as the one controlling the formation, obviously sensed it even more keenly.

Unlike the Toad King, Qin Feng exploited this realization to make arrangements.

He intentionally reduced the supply of power to the Demonic God Illusion, focusing more on defense to prevent these berserking adversaries from genuinely breaching the defense and rushing in once again.

Simultaneously, while secretly gathering power, the Toad King was preparing divine power to confront him, but he instead amassed power to deal with the other divine spirits below.

Due to Qin Feng considering the Toad King's formidable strength and overwhelming defenses, his current capability was insufficient to retain this upper peak divine spirit.

Even with the Ten Thousand Beasts Formation's assistance, manifesting a Demonic God Illusion was inadequate!

Though the Demonic God Illusion was powerful, limitations from his own realm and tribes rendered it inferior in certain aspects compared to the upper peak divine spirit, the Toad King.

Moreover, the Demon God Illusion can only fight within a limited range, and once the distance is too far, its power will be significantly weakened.

Qin Feng couldn't lead his Spiritual Beast troops to form an array and simultaneously pursue the enemy over long distances to maintain the formation's integrity.

Besides, he could only command his Spiritual Beast troops to form an array through the Demon Refining Pot, not because he was particularly skilled at it normally, so he didn't dare to rush while forming the array.

Not to mention, even if he could walk and fly, it would still be impossible to catch up with the Toad King!

The speed of this Divine Being's rotating flight was too fast, and its flexibility was astonishing. Unless a Profound Immortal was exceptionally skilled in speed, many might not be able to catch up with it!

Therefore, when Qin Feng was left helpless and sustained injuries from the opponent's attacks, he already decided that at least in this battle, he wouldn't be able to do much about the Toad King.

Of course, there was also no capability to do anything to it!

Qin Feng secretly gathered power, waiting for those Metal Divine Beings to frantically bombard the defensive shield one after another, then suddenly unleashed a series of high-powered spells.

This wave of spells immediately left those Divine Beings somewhat bewildered!

Isn't this war formation supposed to condense the Demon God Illusion? How can it still cast spells to attack them?

Could it be that the invader's array is this formidable?

Before they could figure it out, the Swallowing Sky Toad, Undying Qingluan, and Hellhound pounced out from the shield, instantly surrounding the Metal Divine Being closest to the shield and stunned by the barrage of spells.

This was a Metal Divine Being resembling a Devil Fish, with a black back and a silver belly, oddly intertwined with black gold and white silver.

The Devil Fish had a huge body nearly two or three hundred feet wide, though different from the soft, seven-colored soft gold on the Toad King, the broad body surface also demonstrated a unique soft toughness, obviously containing a portion of soft gold.

The moment the Swallowing Sky Toad appeared, it immediately imprisoned the space around the Devil Fish Metal Divine Being, blocking its escape route. The nearby Hellhound instantly pounced, opening its jaws to bite.

But because the Devil Fish's body was flat and thin, the Hellhound had difficulty finding a grip, so it could only fiercely bite down on the Devil Fish's head and chest fin with its three dog heads, finally finding a spot to frenziedly tear.

The Devil Fish's entire head was bitten into the Hellhound's mouth, unable to open its mouth, only desperately struggling its body, even risking having its chest fin torn to break free.

As long as it could escape from this three-headed big dog, it could use its innate skills to confront the opponent directly!

Unfortunately, before it could break free, a clear phoenix cry resonated across the sky.

The Undying Qingluan spread its wings and flew up, then swooped down, its claws digging into the back of the Devil Fish Divine Being, tearing through its metal skin and refusing to let go!

Following that, the sharp beak of the Undying Qingluan pecked harshly at the Devil Fish's back of the head, and then a scorching flame aura flowed into the Devil Fish's body through the wound.

This flame was intensely hot, making the Devil Fish feel as if its entire body was being melted from within.

That wasn't all; the Undying Qingluan, pressing its advantage, continued to peck quickly under the supporting flames, while the Hellhound tore frenetically, eventually biting off the Devil Fish's head!

The sudden actions caught the Metal Divine Beings off guard; by the time they handled the spells aimed at them, the Devil Fish had already lost its head.

Although its head wasn't completely dead, its powerful soul power still maintained its vitality; as long as it reattached the head, it could still survive.

But the Hellhound wouldn't give it that chance!

The three ferocious dog heads each bit a side of the Devil Fish's head, simultaneously exerting force, tearing the metal head into pieces, revealing the Divine Gold wrapping the Divine Status.

The Devil Fish's soul hid within the Divine Status, attempting to manipulate the Divine Status to escape, only to be forcibly suppressed by the Swallowing Sky Toad's Space Divine Power.

Meanwhile, the Undying Qingluan had grasped the headless corpse of the Devil Fish and flew back, landing within the array to present the treasure to its master!

"This is quite a fine treasure!"

Qin Feng took the opportunity to stroke the soft and slippery metal body of the Devil Fish a few times, unable to help expressing his approval: "If this item were refined into a cloak, it would be great, not only with strong defense but also with other effects.

Hmm, it seems possible to disguise as a big demon when acting in secret!"

He wasn't wrong about that, as the metal material of the Devil Fish possessed an invisibility effect; once this ability was used, it would be difficult to see its figure when flying high from below, and the same from above!

Moreover, its flattened body made it equally hard to detect its existence from a flat perspective.

However, now wasn't the time to investigate these; he flipped his hand to store away the Devil Fish's huge body, planning to consider refining the treasure after the battle!

In mid-air, the gods were both furious and surprised, not expecting Qin Feng to complete a counter-kill under such circumstances.

The Toad King clearly saw what had happened, understanding that although the Demon God Illusion's power had indeed declined, it shouldn't have weakened so quickly; it was evident that they had once again fallen into Qin Feng's trap.

Furious, it could not care for other matters any longer and abruptly unleashed its strongest war power, attacking the Demon God Illusion with a series of strikes.

Previously, the Demon God Illusion's power was too vast, and it was unwilling to engage in a death struggle with this temporarily condensed illusion, but now that the Demon God Illusion's power had declined, and Qin Feng dared to weaken its power supply to deal with other divine beings, the Toad King, in its anger, decided to go all out.

It wanted to smash this Demon God Illusion!

Once the illusion dispersed, the war formation would naturally dissolve, and at that time, the group of ordinary demon beasts would be nothing more than lambs to the slaughter, and even Qin Feng wouldn't be its match.

As expected, under a series of blows, the Demon God Illusion grew weaker, and the Toad King was focused on tearing it apart before dealing with Qin Feng, so it ignored the fact that another Metal Divine Being was felled by Spiritual Beast attacks below.

However, each time the Demon God Illusion was on the verge of collapse, a surge of power would rise to barely maintain its cohesion, prolonging the fight considerably.

The Toad King's frustration grew, and it struck with no reservations, while secretly alarmed, not expecting Qin Feng to hold on for so long!

Little did it know, Qin Feng was secretly suffering!

The frenzied mode of this Upper Peak-level Metal Divine Being was terrifying, and he had to divert some of his spirit to deal with the remaining divine beings; if this continued, he could probably maintain his ground, but his Spiritual Beast forces couldn't hold out much longer.

By this time, some Spiritual Beasts were unable to sustain themselves, collapsing to the ground; continuing this way might mean they wouldn't need to battle the Toad King. Simply maintaining the Demon God Illusion could deplete their strength, causing a self-defeating situation!

Qin Feng found himself in a dilemma; whether to continue fighting or withdraw the formation ahead of time, his Spiritual Beast forces would likely suffer severe losses under the frenzied onslaught of the Toad King and the gods.

After all, it would take time to withdraw so many Spiritual Beasts into the Demon Refining Pot.

Yet, continuing the fight wasn't an option either, as he was no match and would have to retreat eventually.

Moreover, to evade the Toad King's pursuit, he might have to pay a certain price.

Even with many escape methods, once the Toad King locked onto him, reaching such a realm meant it would find ways to strike, whether he fled skyward or into the earth.

Just as Qin Feng was at his wit's end, suddenly, several figures flew in from a distance, and the leading figure unleashed a monstrous momentum like a massive fiery comet across the sky.

Upon closer look, Qin Feng recognized the visitors, none other than the Fiery Fire Sect Master!

And those figures following him were immortals from various factions!

"Hahaha... Daoist Fellow Qin Feng, fear not, we are coming!"

As the Fiery Fire Sect Master shouted loudly, he raised a Big Seal from afar, thousands of miles away!

The Big Seal ascended, transforming into a several-thousand-foot-tall volcano, slamming down onto the Toad King's head!
