Condemning the Heavens

Although it sounded easy to follow the Luan bird and the Mingshe, it was not as simple as it seemed. The landscape where the two beasts had fought was filled with danger.

Not only were there remnant wisps of energy, but there was also the problem of the entire landscape had been destroyed.

Earthen spikes were rising into the heavens; deep fathomless abysses were next to them, if one was to fall into one, it was certain death.

So it was not easy to traverse the distance of the Mingshe and the Luan bird, but they did not give up because of the challenges. Instead, they soldiered on, stepping on one peak of earthen spire after another until they had reached the back mountain.

Here tremors were running through the ground, and shockwaves could be felt through the air; it was clear that the victor of the battle had still not been found.

The battle was getting increasingly intensive; the shockwaves were getting to a point where the danger of getting hit could claim them of their lives, so Xue Wei stopped their advance and stayed behind a part of the mountain which had been toppled over.

This mountain was not able to contain the full force of the Luan Bird nor the Mingshe. Still, as long as it was merely the shockwaves, it could withstand the majority, and although parts were being chipped off with each incoming shockwave, it was not so bad that it would cause them any damage.

Xue Wei was using his senses to their limits, listening to the battle that was ongoing further away, and his heart was in his throat. This was by far even more dangerous than trying to battle the Scarlet Bee Queen.

Suddenly he was hit by a thought. He had the scarlet bee queen, why not use her to help him improve his chances of success?

The small bees would be unable to survive the shockwaves, but they were capable of dodging, and their surveillance was much better than what Xue Wei could achieve with his hearing alone.

He made Lin Xiao summon the Scarlet Bee Queen and a handful of the scarlet bees, and then he gave his order.

The Scarlet Bee Queen was tamed, and her mind was completely loyal to Lin Xiao and Xue Wei. Hence she had no complaints about the task at hand.

The handful of scarlet bees then began moving towards the battleground, and through the connection with the Scarlet Bee Queen, they started understanding what was happening.

The Mingshe was seemingly the most injured of the two beasts, it had open gashes all over the body, and the blue scales had turned red from the flowing blood.

The previously beautiful azure eyes were now red and bloodshot, and one of the wings had broken.

The Luan Bird was not much better. Much of its feathers were blackened by being burnt by the Mingshe's azure flames, and the entire body was resembling a barbeque chicken.

The beak had a crack; the talons were soaked in blood. The tail was also burnt off, and blood was flowing from the eyes of the bird.

Clearly, both of them had paid a high price to injure the other, but they had not succeeded in killing their arch enemy yet.

Although these two animals held unimaginable power, they were different from Primordial and Sovereign Beasts. Although they were immensely strong, they did not have human-like intelligence, neither did they have the ability to take on a human shape.

They were mainly driven by their instincts, and thus none of them even thought about retreating, even when facing death, they moved forward, spending all their energy in suppressing the other beast.

From the fight, Xue Wei instantly understood that the Mingshe was actually the strongest of the two beasts. Still, because of the battle with the cultivators and elites of the world, it had fallen to a disadvantageous position.

The Luan bird was aware of this and was doing everything in its power to keep suppressing the mingshe, but even their natural elements were opposite one another.

The Luan bird controlled ice, which was a mutated version of water. The Mingshe had an azure flame, which was a mutated version of fire, and water against fire, they were able to restrain one another perfectly.

The flame was melting the ice, but the ice was killing the flame. As to who would be able to survive in the end, Xue Wei was still betting on the Luan bird, but that might just be his wishful thinking.

These beasts had transcended the Earth Saint rank, their pride and arrogance did not allow them to back off, they were both Heavenly Saints, even above the Sky Saints, and the only reason that the elites had lasted so long before was due to the Snake just waking up, alongside its constant alertness of the Luan bird.

Now that the Mingshe had completely woken up, its strength had been growing by the minute, but so had the Luan bird's. That was until they began becoming severely injured. As their injuries increased but they kept fighting, their cultivation base became unstable and began dropping.

They were dropping one layer at a time, from the Heavenly Saint, ninth layer, to the eight layer. Moments after it became the seventh layer, followed by the sixth layer.

The shockwaves of the battle also diminished in power, and the ground's trembling became more faint.

"Let's advance," Xue Wei said calmly, but although he seemed calm and controlled, he was incredibly alert and on guard. If the least thing went wrong, they would end up as a snack for these two massive beasts.
