A Mortal's Start in the Spirit Beast Mountain

Chapter 193 The Stone Beast Appears

The Ninth Elder groaned, his face slightly pale, clearly indicating that his magic weapon was damaged and his mind was also affected. He was heartbroken and quickly formed a hand seal, attempting to retrieve the Spirit-Suppressing Flag. This treasure was one of his most prized possessions, and he never expected it to be damaged so badly today.

Just then, another unexpected event occurred!

The Yuan Magnetic Beast, which had been suppressed and struggling relentlessly, keenly seized this fleeting opportunity to loosen its seal. A terrifying gray-white light suddenly erupted from its dark, crystal-filled eyes!

"roar--!"

A roar, even more ferocious than before and seemingly filled with boundless rage, erupted from its mouth. Then, its massive head jerked back, its mouth gaping wide, and a condensed, arm-thick beam of gray-white light shot out without warning!

This gray-white beam of light was completely different from the magnetic aura emanating from its body. Wherever the beam passed, space seemed to be distorted and absorbed. All the five elements of spiritual power, especially earth and metal, became wildly agitated and disordered, and even showed a faint tendency to be forcibly stripped away and attracted to it!

"Primordial Magnetic Divine Light?! It actually awakened this divine light!"

The Ninth Elder's pupils constricted sharply, and he cried out in shock, his face showing horror for the first time. This was no ordinary elemental magnetic power, but a divine ability formed by the condensation of elemental magnetic power to its extreme, specifically designed to counter the five elements, especially effective against earth and metal elemental magic weapons and techniques! He had just felt that the beast's elemental magnetic power was exceptionally pure and powerful, but he never expected it to have reached the point of spewing divine light.

In the blink of an eye, the gray-white beam of light was incredibly fast, ignoring spatial distance, and instantly struck the Spirit Suppressing Flag, whose spiritual light was unstable!

The spirit-suppressing flag, of exceptional quality and formidable power, was struck by the gray-white beam of light. Its spiritual light dimmed rapidly at a visible speed, the entire flag trembled violently, and emitted a mournful cry, appearing as if its spiritual essence had been severely damaged.

After the Yuan Magnetic Beast unleashed this primal divine light, its originally powerful aura visibly weakened, and several fine cracks even appeared on its dark stone body, clearly indicating that this attack had consumed a large amount of its primal energy.

The beast raised its head and let out a low growl mixed with pain. Its massive body flashed with yellow light, and taking advantage of the moment when the sealing power on its body dissipated, it used a teleportation technique to instantly disappear into the hard rock beneath its feet!

"Black Wind! You're asking for death!"

At this moment, the Ninth Elder was consumed by rage. His originally calm face was slightly distorted by anger. His pure spiritual energy suddenly erupted, and a dazzling star-like sword light shone from his sleeve, aiming straight for the Black Wind Monster's face!

"Well done! I've been wanting to see what kind of supernatural powers Elder Xinggong has!" Old Monster Black Wind chuckled, showing no fear, as his black flying knife transformed into a strange streak of dark light to meet the attack.

In an instant, the sword light and the blade's edge collided fiercely in the huge cave filled with magnetic energy, unleashing a deafening roar. The violent shockwave of spiritual energy shook the surrounding glowing crystals, causing them to fall down in a flurry.

Looking at the two Nascent Soul cultivators who were instantly locked in combat, then at the ground where the Yuan Magnetic Stone Beast had disappeared and the Yuan Magnetic Spirit Eye that was still spewing forth, Liu Yuangang's bitterness deepened, and he stamped his feet repeatedly:

"Fellow Daoists, stop! Everything can be discussed! This place is not suitable for a major battle; be careful not to cause disturbances in the mine!" However, his advice sounded weak and powerless to the two enraged Nascent Soul cultivators.

inside the cave,

The aftershocks of the battle between Nascent Soul level cultivators raged wildly. Meanwhile, in a deeper and more winding underground mine, Luo Ming, who had just condensed the faint light of Geng Essence collected by another wave of Gold-Eating Insects into a small dark golden crystal, suddenly paused. His divine sense keenly detected a muffled, thunderous roar coming from a great distance, as well as abnormal vibrations emanating from the surrounding rock strata.

"Are there... people fighting up there?" He frowned slightly, put away the newly acquired Geng Essence, and looked in the direction from which the tremor came, his eyes grave. Tianjing Sanren's divine sense also sent a warning: "The fluctuations are very strong; at least Nascent Soul level cultivators are fighting. This place is not safe to stay for long. Quickly collect the materials and then leave."

Luo Ming nodded, directing the swarm of insects to accelerate the devouring of the gold essence stone, while simultaneously unleashing his Nascent Soul level divine sense to more vigilantly monitor any anomalies in the surrounding mine tunnels.

However, just as he fully extended his divine sense, he discovered a beam of yellow light rapidly approaching from above, colliding with the Gold-Eating Insects that were devouring the surrounding gold essence stones.

"What kind of monster is this?" Luo Ming was shocked. The speed at which it moved so nimbly through the soil and rocks indicated that it was a huge stone monster.

Having just escaped a powerful enemy, the Yuan Magnetic Beast was then harassed by the Gold-Eating Insects. Upon seeing Luo Ming, a "lone" human cultivator with a "weak" aura, it was ready to unleash all its anger and shock. Although it wasn't very intelligent, it knew how to pick on the weak.

With a roar, its hill-like body suddenly moved, seemingly clumsy but incredibly fast, carrying a chaotic gray-white magnetic aura, and crashed fiercely towards Luo Ming! The hard rock walls along the way were easily shattered as if they were tofu, with fragments flying everywhere, creating a terrifying scene.

Alarm bells rang in Luo Ming's mind. This beast's furious attack was far beyond what his physical body could withstand. Without hesitation, a yellow light flashed around him, and he darted into the side rock wall like a fish, narrowly avoiding the ferocious collision.

"Boom!" The massive body of the Yuan Magnet Beast crashed heavily onto the spot where Luo Ming had been standing, causing the ground to tremble violently and leaving a deep crater.

Its attack missed, enraging it even more. It turned its head, its dark eyes locking onto Luo Ming, who emerged from another rock wall. Its magnetic energy surged again, forming a gray-white light field. This not only caused the gold-devouring insects that tried to approach to stagger and lose their balance, but also made Luo Ming feel his internal magic power become sluggish.

"Be careful! This is a level seven peak Yuan Magnetic Beast that is about to transform! It is incredibly strong, and its shell is as hard as a top-level defensive magic weapon. What's even more troublesome is its Yuan Magnetic Divine Power, which has a strong interference and restraining effect on the five elements spiritual power. Ordinary five elements magic weapons will be much less effective against this beast!" The divine sense of the Heavenly Mirror Hermit came rapidly, and his tone was solemn.

Upon hearing this, Luo Ming's mind raced. With the Five Elements Magic Treasures restrained and the Gold-Eating Insect Swarm temporarily unable to form a formation due to interference from the Yuan Magnetic Force, a direct confrontation was definitely not the best strategy.

"Roar!" The Magnetic Beast adjusted its direction, exerted force with all four legs, and prepared to charge again.

At this critical moment, Luo Ming suddenly patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist and shouted, "Go!"

With a flash of dark light, the massive body of the Xuan Turtle landed with a thud, blocking Luo Ming and the Yuan Magnetic Beast. The Xuan Turtle seemed to sense the power and hostility of the monster in front of it, letting out a low roar, its limbs gripping the ground, the mysterious patterns on its carapace glowing slightly, fearlessly facing the charging Yuan Magnetic Beast.

"Bang!"

The two colossal beasts, renowned for their strength and defense, collided with a deafening roar! The muffled boom echoed through the mine, the shockwave sending rubble and dust flying everywhere.
