“Get out here, you beast pretending to be a god!”
“Buzz!”
Tan Yun's face was filled with killing intent as the primordial power surged wildly around him.
“You despicable human, you truly do not know the height of heaven or the depth of the earth!”
With an ancient voice echoing, the massive beast shrouded in black mist suddenly swayed its body. In an instant, a tail over a hundred thousand feet long, covered in black scales and uneven bumps, was whipped out from the black mist, striking towards Tan Yun's right fist!
Wherever the giant tail passed, large patches of the void turned into pitch-black hollows, showcasing its immense power.
However, Tan Yun did not take it to heart; he was confident that even if the opponent was a divine dragon at the fifth layer of the dao ancestor beast realm, it would not match his physical strength.
But soon, Tan Yun realized he was wrong!
He had underestimated the situation!
“Bang!”
When that giant tail, a hundred thousand feet long and several thousand feet thick, struck Tan Yun's right fist, his skin burst open, revealing his massive white bones.
“What the hell! What beast is this? So strong!”
As Tan Yun exclaimed in shock, he felt a power sweeping through like a tidal wave, surging along his fist and up his right arm. Instantly, his right hand's tiger mouth burst open, and the skin on his entire right arm peeled away.
Tan Yun was sent flying thousands of celestial li before finally stabilizing his body while rolling in the void.
At this moment, Tan Yun's expression was more serious than ever, as if facing a formidable enemy.
“Hmm? You, a lowly human, actually didn’t die!” With a tone filled with surprise, the ancient voice echoed as the rolling black mist quickly faded, revealing the massive beast's form.
When Tan Yun saw the towering behemoth in the distant void, his eyes widened in shock.
It was a tremendous creature nearly six million feet long, with the head of a dragon, the body of a turtle, and the tail of a snake.
Both the dragon's head and turtle's body, as well as the snake's tail, were pitch black and covered in uneven scales.
Additionally, its four gigantic claws were adorned with long, arc-shaped black claws that seemed capable of tearing through anything.
Indeed, it was the xuanwu, and it had transformed into the dao ancestor beast after its dragonification.
It was widely known that before ascending to the dao ancestor beast realm, the xuanwu was a snake-headed, turtle-bodied, snake-tailed creature.
Upon its ascension, the snake head transformed into a dragon head, leading to a qualitative change in both attack and defense, making it extraordinarily powerful.
If it were to ascend to the supreme dao ancestor beast realm, its snake tail would transform into a dragon's tail, making it utterly terrifying.
According to ancient records, a xuanwu at the fifth layer of the dao ancestor beast realm had a defensive power surpassing that of an ordinary human at the great perfection stage of the dao ancestor realm by thirty percent.
Any attack from its dragon head, turtle claws, or snake tail was not weaker than that of an eighth-layer dao ancestor realm expert, and under full force, it could overpower an ordinary human at the ninth layer of the dao ancestor realm.
Without a doubt, Tan Yun was facing an extremely formidable existence.
Just as Tan Yun was in shock, a voice filled with terror echoed in his mind from Fang Zixi, “Tan Yun, we've been deceived!”
“It is the protective sect divine beast xuanwu; it didn’t die two million years ago!”
“You must hold on, once I defeat the high priest, I will come to aid you!”
Tan Yun transmitted, “You don’t need to worry about me; focus on dealing with the high priest. No matter what, I will slay this beast.”
At that moment, the xuanwu's dragon eyes were filled with disdain. “Despicable human, if you choose to take your own life, I will leave your corpse intact; otherwise…”
Before the xuanwu could finish speaking, Tan Yun interrupted, “Go to hell, you talk too much!”
