A broken voice seemed to be hissing from nowhere to command the 3 gigantic horned armored beetles, "Kill… them all…"

The 3 gigantic horned armored beetles rushed through the sandy desert as though it was hard ground and soon they were upon Ma Huarong, Hu Tao, Yi Ling, Xiao Muhan and Spirit Consort Miao Humei.

These gigantic horned armored beetles were massive, 5 times taller than anyone here and 8 times longer than the tallest person here. Although their profound aura proclaimed them to be 8th rank monsters but one must know that they easily weighted 200 tons and was far stronger than the profound strength of the strongest cultivator here. 

Xiao Muhan had displayed his half-step divine sword and had unleashed his most powerful sword art together with his martial cultivation profound force on a gigantic horned armored beetle. But no sooner had it struck its thick armor, he was repelled by a powerful inherent force around it and was flung into the slope of the sand dune, crashing with a powerful thud sound.

The armor of these horned beetle monsters was extremely tough and could even match the quality of a low level divine sword!

Spirit Consort Miao Humei displayed 2 spirit talismans that burst into blue fireballs on another gigantic horned beetle but it was like tickling it as the fireballs could not even penetrate through its thick profound aura to hurt it. 

But she had succeeded in infuriating it as the same gigantic horned beetle took its anger on Hua Tao, literally ripping him apart with his protruding mandibles, like cutting tofu with a knife.

Ma Huarong had used all his profound strength onto his heaven-step divine sword to deliver a wavering of powerful profound power that condensed his profound attack into a heaven-defying strike that could certainly maimed even a great saint.

Against these gigantic monsters, he could only use powerful strikes instead of the colorful and multiple profound strikes. 

Usually, these powerful profound strikes are also the secret epitome profound art of the cultivators, able to shake the heaven and the earth, killing even saint cultivators. 

But the price of using such powerful epitome profound arts is usually taxing to the profound strength of the cultivators.

So when Ma Huarong delivered his profound strike, the divine sense of everyone could sense the gathering of a huge profound power that was in this one strike as he swung his profound strike into the head of a gigantic horned beetle! 

There was a large thunderous sound as sword and the armored head of the gigantic beetle collided as Ma Huarong delivered a tiny dent onto its thick armored head but he was soon screaming because his sword arm was suddenly severed during the attack!

Yi Ling panicky sent a profound attack onto the gigantic beetle to distract it from Ma Huarong and she did not even dare to come close to it!

But she forgot one thing.

The other gigantic beetle that had flung Xiao Muhan away was upon Ma Huarong in the next instant. 

And also Spirit Consort Miao Humei was never in melee anyway and the closest target was actually Ma Huarong, after Hu Tao was instantly killed.

Poor Ma Huarong, he tried to flee but his foot got struck in the sand and he was quickly ripped apart into a bloody mess by the 3 gigantic beetle monsters.

An 8th rank monster is far stronger than any peaked great saint and it is not an exaggeration to say that even 10 peaked great saints may not be able to kill one 8th rank monster easily. 

Moreover, there were 3 in the scene now.

Chu Lixue had suddenly flashed into the scene and she had displayed her Ultra Sword Spirit with her heaven-step divine sword. 

Her movements were also extremely swift for the 3 gigantic horned beetles were firing their mandibles and tenacles all around her, but none of their attacks could even hit her; it was like she could anticipate their attacks.

She quickly raised her divine sword to make a couple of slashes on one gigantic beetle before she flew upward to display her seraphim spirit animus, increasing the might of her profound power to the 8th cultivation realm before she displayed a beam of profound energy onto it to flung it aside.

At this moment, Ji Yuan had also arrived at the scene and there was an awkward look on his face; it was because his senior sister's swiftness movement was actually superior to him in this sandy desert. 

He was heard weakly protesting, "It isn't fair senior sister. I got weighted down by both fat Xiang Li and Anyang…"

Xiang Li, Anyang: …

It was actually not because Xiang Li and Anyang were fat but the more powerful a divine sword, the heavier it is and the more profound strength it takes to wield it.

But he quickly displayed his two sword spirits and his sword aura too upon reaching the scene. 

Ji Yuan had quickly swung Xiang Li and Anyang as he displayed two Super Heavenly Light of the Coiling Dragon at point blank at the two gigantic horned beetles as two white flares of light exploded next to him. 

In that instant, his sword energies instantly tear apart and destroyed the two monsters! 

Yi Ling, Xiao Muhan and Spirit Consort Miao Humei were all stunned; they know that an emperor-step divine sword was powerful but they had never witnessed such a powerful display of pure sword energies before. 

Yi Ling and Spirit Consort Miao Humei were stunned that Ji Yuan actually got two sword spirits, two emperor-step divine swords and he could even display the mystical sword aura.

What was more, he could even instantly kill a 8th rank monster with just a single strike.  I think you should take a look at

This was too exaggerated! 

At this moment, Chu Lixue had also destroyed the last remaining gigantic beetle monster but it had taken her 5 profound strikes to do so and she did not look please at all when compared to the kills that were done by Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan laughed, "This 8th rank monster is actually weaker than I've though. Is it really an 8th rank monster?"

Everyone: …

"If these monsters are twice as big then it won't be easy for me."

Ji Yuan did not lie; the bigger a profound beast is, the stronger its defense is even though the armor of the profound beast did not improve. Just imagine a ant trying to kill a human instead of another ant. If it is a human size ant then it is impossible for the small ant to win.

But Ji Yuan was actually not boasting too.

Just before he had entered the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth, he had taken down a powerful metamorphosis 8th rank profound monster with his Super Heavenly Light of the Coiling Dragon. But of course, that was only because Xiang Li had aided him and she had enhanced the sword energies of his profound attack to several times stronger. 

But for such medium size monsters, their profound auras and armors were like paper in front of Ji Yuan's powerful divine swords and sword energies. 

Ji Yuan sighed softly as he gazed over at the corpses of Hu Tao and Ma Huarong; he had thought that they were super cultivators that could last longer than he had imagined. But he did not think that they were so weak when it comes to fighting against the profound beasts.

It seemed to him that they were fighting the cultivators more than the desolate profound monsters.

Xiao Muhan weakly staggered to Ji Yuan, "Luckily you are here with us. Haha…"

Ji Yuan asked, "I think I have cleared the monsters. Why don't you go and get the Hundred Blazing Rose?"

"You are not getting it?" Xiao Muhan asked.

Ji Yuan snorted, "I'm not interested."

The eyes of Xiao Muhan and the eyes behind him from Yi Ling and Spirit Consort Miao Humei immediately brightened as they rushed forward to the Hundred Blazing Rose.

Even Chu Lixue was also delightfully with them, leaving Ji Yuan behind to look at the bloody gore leftovers of the battle.

The Hundred Blazing Rose was only a small beautiful ruby rose like plant that stood in the middle of the desert. 

But right now, Yi Ling, Xiao Muhan, Spirit Consort Miao Humei and Chu Lixue all had a small problem; no matter how many methods they tried, they simply could not pluck this Hundred Blazing Rose!

Even when Chu Lixue used her Ultra Sword Spirit and tried to slice off this spirit plant, an inherent force simply bounced her profound attack harmlessly! 

This caused everyone to be stunned and they were soon looking at Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan was also looking quite stunned as he walked over; he could not believe with the Ultra Sword Spirit and the spirit entity of his senior sister; she could not even pluck this spirit plant. 

As Ji Yuan walked over, Chu Lixue said bitterly to him. "It seems that we have underestimate the age of this spirit plant. It is actually over a million year old. We need the help of your divine sword to pluck it."

Xiao Muhan smiled bitterly too, "Brother Ji Yuan, we need your help on this. Come and help us."

Chu Lixue smiled, "We know that you are not interested to pluck this but if you can help us, together, we may just be able to pluck it from the ground."

Ji Yuan frowned as he displayed an unhappy look at everyone, "If I pluck this, then it is mine. I won't share it."

Everyone: …
