The Way of The Dao

The three of them began to execute the technique 'Celestial Energy Mastery' taking a few seconds to concentrate.

ROARRRR!

The demon beast roared and charged at Long Yuyin.

Long Cheng felt powerless to protect his daughter, so seeing the current situation, he felt he could not breathe properly.

However, Long Cheng soon opened his eyes in shock at the sight of Long Yuyin.

The moment the beast came within a few feet of her and attacked, Long Yuyin opened her eyes and easily dodged the attack.

"HA!"

In the move, Long Yuyin tightened her grip on her daggers and tore the skin of the demon beast again.

GHROAARRR!

The demon beast roared this time in a different tone. Black blood began pouring out of the wound where Long Yuyin had torn.

This time, Long Yuyin managed to wound the demon beast heavily, unlike the time before she performed the technique.

Long Yuyin jumped up and joined the other two.

Tang Jingtian and Mu Shen opened their eyes at the same time. Both managed to easily enter the first stage of the technique.

Now all three were showing the true strength of the Fifth Stage of Chi Gathering!

Long Cheng and Tang Wei, as well as the ancestors and elders, were surprised to feel the explosive rise of the three people.

Their power was now a King rank!

What had they done to suddenly increase their power?!

Fwoosh

The demon beast turned around and surprised everyone again with its speed, managing to get to the three of them in less than a second.

The demon beast attacked again but this time, it used its five tails.

Clang!

Slash!

Long Yuyin blocked a tail with her two daggers while Mu Shen took advantage and used his sword to cut it off.

GHRRR!

The demon beast roared fiercely before it felt one of its other tails being cut off again.

Tang Jingtian managed to dodge the incoming tails and waved his sword, managing to slice off one tail completely as well.

Now the demon beast only had three tails, therefore, it decided to better use its claws and lunge at the trio.

Boom

Mu Shen flew out by force as he blocked the attack with his sword, managing to hit some trees on the way. However, he quickly rose, surprising everyone. Everyone could tell that a large line of blood was coming out of his mouth.

"ARGH!"

Tang Jingtian tore the body of the demon beast diagonally, only to be hit in the end when the demon beast gathered its three tails and sent Tang Jingtian flying.

Now only Long Yuyin was left in front of the demon beast.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Long Yuyin concentrated even more on the special technique and increased her power, entering the second level of the special technique.

Quickly, she narrowly avoided the blow of the demon beast.

Long Cheng opened his eyes to feel the power emitted by his daughter.

Now Long Yuyin was releasing the power of an Emperor rank!

Not a second passed when Long Cheng felt two more explosive power surges nearby as well, so he was stunned to observe the scene.

Both Mu Shen and Tang Jingtian also entered the second phase of the special technique.

Both of them quickly headed towards the demon beast and joined Long Yuyin.

Each of the three of them knew that they would have to work together if they wanted to kill this demon beast.

Quickly, they began to gain a bit of an advantage by inflicting wounds on the demon beast in quick succession.

The martial artists nearby were surprised to see the development of the moment.

How could they face such a demon beast?!

How could they increase their internal martial arts power?!

Long Yuyin, Mu Shen and Tang Jingtian now exuded the power of a powerful Emperor rank.

GRRRR!

Just when it seemed they might win, the demon beast grunted heavily as its body began to emit a gray, almost black gas.

No one knew what was happening to the beast.

Tang Jingtian, Long Yuyin, and Mu Shen felt a sense of danger at the sight of this. They somehow thought this demon beast was growing stronger, so black smoke was escaping from its body.

In the next moment, the demon beast roared louder again, and then a heavy aura covered everyone.

Mu Shen, Long Yuyin, and Tang Jingtian felt their bodies slow down greatly.

The demon beast had grown stronger in less than five seconds!

The three of them were blown away by the impact of the aura.

The martial artists could not move because of the fear and aura that imprisoned everyone in the place.

Long Cheng, as a Legend rank, could not move either. Moreover, his body was very wounded.

Once again, everyone opened their eyes in shock as they felt three more bursts of energy besides the demon beast.

Keeping up the fighting spirit and not giving up, Long Yuyin, as well as Mu Shen and Tang Jingtian, pushed their will power to the limit and tried to concentrate even more.

At the time of a life or death, a person's will power can create miracles.

All three felt a remarkable change in their strength and knew that they had entered the third phase of the technique, achieving a Great Mastery of the Celestial Energy.

Long Cheng felt that the aura radiating from them was the power of a Legend rank!

Without further thought, the three threw themselves back into the demon beast. They understood that they could not maintain the technique for long now, so they must quickly kill the demon beast.

The demon beast responded to their attacks and used its tails again as it charged toward Tang Jingtian.

Tang Jingtian managed to sustain the impact of the lunge with his body, so he gave an opening to Mu Shen.

Mu Shen had fought alongside Tang Jingtian many times, so they both knew each other's skill and dexterity well, managing to combine their strengths and cover their weaknesses in battle.

In an instant, Mu Shen waved his sword and with all the strength he had, he cut into the head of the demon beast.

"HAA!"

Crack!

Mu Shen's sword broke when it came into contact with the head of the demon beast, so with the rest of the blade, Mu Shen tried again but this time, to bury it, managing to pierce part of the head of the demon beast.

GHROAR!

The demon beast roared.

Long Yuyin had not been left behind. With her daggers, she alone managed to cut off the remaining tails of this demon beast. Now it could only use its claws to attack or its teeth to bite.

The demon beast stirred and began throwing its claws in all directions, trying to reach one of the three.

However, just as it was about to rip Mu Shen apart, Tang Jingtian moved quickly and covered Mu Shen, because his sword had been destroyed and he had nothing with which to defend himself.

"AHHHH!"

Both boys flew out several meters and hit the ground hard.

Long Yuyin took advantage of the opening and repositioned her daggers, piercing one eye of the demon beast and cutting one of its claws with the other dagger.

The demon beast, however, shook even more and managed to strike Long Yuyin directly.

Long Yuyin was able to defend herself by blocking the attack with her daggers, but unfortunately the force of the blow was very powerful and she too flew away several meters.

The demon beast had gone mad, roaring non-stop and moving its claws everywhere. Black blood was beginning to flow from its body, indicating that it might die soon, but they would have to continue inflicting damage.

In that instant, the demon beast sensed other presences nearby and moved directly toward the group where the women who preferred to remain rather than abandon Mu Shen, Tang Jingtian, and Long Yuyin were.

Mu Shuiruo and the others were filled with fear as they saw this demon beast running towards them. They wanted to move, but the pressure and aura the demon beast continued to emit made their bodies feel heavy.

Plop!

When Long Yuyin, Tang Jingtian and Mu Shen got up and wanted to start running again to prevent the demon beast from hurting the group of women, the forces in their bodies suddenly disappeared and the three of them fell heavily to the ground, panting heavily while big drops of sweat started to bathe their bodies completely.

They had reached the limit of the 'Celestial Energy Mastery' technique that they could reach, so now all three were suffering the consequence of using it. Their forces were gone and now they could not move even a finger.

They watched helplessly and desperately as this demon beast headed towards Mu Shuiruo and the others.

Mu Shuiruo felt time slow down, watching as this demon beast arrived in front of her first, as she was the one in front of the group and the closest to the demon beast.

Mu Shuiruo could not help but close her eyes as a tear rolled down her cheek.

'My husband... I won't be able to see you anymore. I'm sorry...' Mu Shuiruo thought of Ling Tian when she felt she was about to die. She missed him. She wanted to be with him right now.

The demon beast came in front of her in an instant.

Most men closed their eyes, not wanting to see one of the five Goddesses die in front of them.

The moment it opened its massive mouth to bite Mu Shuiruo, a young man suddenly appeared between the demon beast and Mu Shuiruo.

That young man raised his hand and when he came in contact with the enormous mouth, the demon beast exploded instantly.
