Chapter 504: A Fierce Battle of Cornered Beasts

In an instant, Ye Feng brought his ice-based laws to their peak at the Minor Perfection stage, unleashing all the power of the Fifth Layer of the Ice Heart Art with every ounce of his strength. He knew well that if he held back at this moment, it might be himself who would perish.

The moment the sealing laws at the Minor Perfection stage were activated, the nine magical beasts sensed the approaching danger and chose to retreat simultaneously. But the Ice Heart Art wasn’t something that could be easily dodged—seven magical beasts at the Ninth Rank failed to evade and were struck one after another, then frozen into ice sculptures. The two beasts at the Perfect Law stage managed to retreat in time and suffered no harm.

The black leopard-like beast had already known of Ye Feng’s abilities, and thanks to its astonishing speed, it easily dodged the attacks. The other beast was a dragon-like creature, covered in earthy yellow fur, with a pair of massive wings on its back—dozens of times larger than the black leopard-like beast.

“Well, I’ll take you first!” Realizing the black beast would be difficult to deal with, Ye Feng targeted the dragon-like beast instead.

Five Sky-Shattering Fingers were sent out at once. The spiral-shaped purple lightning resembled five giant whirlwinds, surrounding the earthy yellow dragon from five different directions. The black beast nearby didn’t intervene but chose to watch from afar.

In anger, the dragon-like beast spat out five bursts of dragon breath, mixed with yellow sand, to counter Ye Feng’s attacks. But the five purple lightning bolts paused for only a moment before piercing through the dragon breath and continuing their assault on the beast.

“This is the Destruction Law???” The beast couldn’t help but cry out in shock. The destructive power of the Destruction Law far surpassed that of other laws, which was why its energy at the Minor Perfection stage was instantly shattered. Realizing this, it hurriedly fled in an attempt to avoid the attacks of those five lightning bolts.

Unexpectedly, a chill spread across its back, followed by a freezing sensation deep in its soul. This coldness spread rapidly, making its body increasingly heavy. Its once-upright form slowly fell downward, directly into the five attacks. Its massive body was instantly torn apart into pieces of flesh and ice shards.

Ye Feng slowly descended and glanced at the black beast. “Only you’re left. This time, I won’t hold back.”

“As long as this beast cage is activated, only one creature can leave,” the black beast said, looking up at the huge cage. “I must survive.”

“To survive, your previous skills aren’t enough.” Ye Feng suddenly moved, clenching his fists and striking hard at the opponent’s head, but his hands only passed through afterimages. The black magical beast also swung its massive claw at Ye Feng’s right waist, but it merely brushed past as well, with the afterimage disappearing instantly. The speed of both fighters increased further. Unlike last time, there were two spectators—Shi Tou and Jin. Standing outside the cage, they were shocked; they couldn’t see the fight at all, only hearing occasional terrifying explosions in the air. Those explosions caused powerful air currents, stirring up strong winds that swept away all the sand and stones in the vicinity. Shi Tou and Jin even felt the ground trembling. The intense energy fluctuations and sonic booms also attracted the attention of other powerful warriors, who rushed toward the area. In their eyes, a fight reaching such a level must involve super-powered warriors, meaning some treasure must have appeared. In just the time it took to burn a stick of incense, five or six more people gathered to watch. Those powerful warriors also stared in shock at the fight inside the cage. Their cultivation levels weren’t higher than Shi Tou’s, so they couldn’t see anything either. But some observant individuals noticed Shi Tou and Jin, realizing they had come in with Ye Feng, and thus deduced that one of those in the cage was Dao Feng. “Who exactly is Dao Feng Senior fighting against? It seems so intense!” one of them couldn’t help but ask, stepping between Shi Tou and Jin. “It’s a black magical beast; I don’t know what species it is,” Shi Tou said, frowning slightly. His inherited memories contained no record of such a black magical beast. Logically, such a powerful beast should not be omitted from his inherited memories, especially since his current memories combined those of the Ancient Demon Ape and the Giant Stone Demon Ape, covering almost all of history from ancient times to the present. Ye Feng became more and more enthusiastic as the fight went on. Seeing that one set of laws couldn’t give him the upper hand, he finally resorted to a second set of laws—Splitting Sky Finger—colliding with the opponent’s attacks. Ordinary law-based attacks couldn’t compare to the Law of Destruction, let alone the black magical beast’s Wind Speed Law, which was hardly an offensive law at all. This time, it dared not engage head-on and chose to retreat instead. Ye Feng had no intention of letting it go. With a cold glint in his eyes, he launched a third set of law-based attacks. The black magical beast couldn’t dodge in time and was struck by the Ice Heart Art.

“You lost!” Ye Feng finally stopped pursuing, his voice drifting to the ears of everyone present.
His Ice Heart Technique was almost invincible; anyone hit by it, even a powerful warrior at the minor perfection stage of the laws, would be frozen into an ice statue within just a few breaths. That’s why he uttered such an exclamation after hitting the black magical beast.
The black magical beast also stopped scurrying around and stood still, staring coldly at Ye Feng. “A quite special technique—able to freeze the soul directly…”
Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. He realized that the black magical beast hadn’t been frozen.
“However, my soul’s strength is far greater than yours. This attack can only cause me slight trouble—it can’t freeze me. But because of your attack, my seal was broken…” As the black magical beast spoke, its form gradually faded, while its shadow on the ground grew increasingly monstrous.
The magical beast slowly disappeared, but its black shadow on the ground transformed into the shape of a winged giant beast.
“What is this?” Ye Feng frowned deeply. This transformation completely exceeded his expectations.
“Is it a Hellish Magical Beast???” Shi Tou suddenly remembered something. “Boss, this guy is a Shadow Beast from the Abyss of Hell. It can attack your shadow as well as your body.”
Ye Feng was stunned. He hadn’t expected such a special creature to exist.
“Shadow Beast?” Jin seemed to remember something as well and froze for a moment.
At that moment, the giant shadow rushed straight toward Ye Feng’s shadow…
