Permanent Martial Arts

"Grr…"

Ao growled and flapped its wings, turning into a stream of light that charged right in front of Young Master Zhao in the blink of an eye.

Just a moment ago, Young Master Zhao had been insufferably arrogant and maintained his regal bearing. Yet when he sensed the savage and violent aura of Ao, a trace of surprise appeared on his face.

"Form the array!"

Young Master Zhao no longer had his composure. A spiritual light flashed on his body, and he activated some unknown treasure that emitted a faint white light. At the same time, the nine peak half-Chaotic experts behind him also took their positions, and their auras instantly became one.

Young Master Zhao held a light blue flag in his hand and waved it slightly. Immediately, the small flag shone brightly, quickly forming an enormous dome that enveloped Young Master Zhao and the others.

"This is the Zhao family's Quadrilateral Banner, right? How impressive. They actually used the Quadrilateral Banner. With the Quadrilateral Banner trapping Ao, even if it's a natural Chaotic lifeform, it's impossible for it to break through the Quadrilateral Banner in a short period of time."

However, Ao had no intention of breaking the Quadrilateral Banner at all. It did not understand any arrays. It only knew that it just had to kill the ten people in front of it, and this was what it was best at.

Moreover, in its eyes, these ten people were not much of a threat.

Thud.

Ao's claw struck Young Master Zhao's fist. After a head-on clash, Young Master Zhao quickly retreated, and dense spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground.

At the same time, the bodies of the nine people behind Young Master Zhao shook. Clearly, they had all suffered a huge impact.

"Impressive, impressive. It is definitely a natural Chaotic lifeform. There's no mistake!"

Although Young Master Zhao was repelled, his gaze became even more intense.

This was a natural Chaotic lifeform, the legendary Ao. It was extremely fast, and even its speed in the Chaos was not inferior to spaceships, and might even be faster. Even many truly great cultivators who were Chaotic lifeforms wanted to capture an Ao as their mount.

However, there were very few Aos, and in the vast Chaos, it was even harder to encounter them.

Young Master Zhao and the other nine peak half-Chaotic lifeform cultivators formed an array. This array was also left behind by the Perfected Person of the Zhao family, and could perfectly combine the power of the ten of them.

Hence, although it seemed like Young Master Zhao was the one who Ao attacked, in reality, the ten of them took on the attack together. Their strength was also superimposed on each other.

With nine peak half-Chaotic lifeforms and Young Master Zhao, even if they were much weaker than Ao, they could still barely hold out.

However, Ao's claw did not kill Young Master Zhao. It seemed to be very furious. The wings on its back flapped, and its speed reached the extreme. Ao's figure could no longer be seen at all. One could only vaguely see a stream of light pouncing towards Young Master Zhao in a frenzy.

Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.

At this moment, Young Master Zhao could no longer counterattack. He could only defend himself desperately, but how could he possibly defend himself? Fortunately, Young Master Zhao was wearing the Chaotic Armor, and seemed to be able to withstand even a portion of the Chaotic lifeform's attacks.

The remaining portion was distributed to the nine peak half-Chaotic lifeforms. Even so, they were almost unable to hold out against such rapid and frequent attacks.

"Young Master, we can't hold out much longer. Let's use the treasure bestowed by Patriarch to suppress this Chaotic dire beast."

Hearing this, Young Master Zhao no longer hesitated. He gritted his teeth, and a sharp glint flashed across his eyes as he suddenly flew into the air.

"Exquisite Pagoda, suppress!"

Boom.

In the void, iridescent light illuminated the entire sky. A small Exquisite Pagoda expanded out of the blue. In the blink of an eye, it had already become incomparably huge. It descended from the sky and pressed down forcefully towards Ao.

"Exquisite Pagoda? I didn't expect the Zhao family to also bestow this supreme treasure to Young Master Zhao! Looks like the outcome is almost certain this time. Ao won't be able to escape!"

Looking at the pagoda emitting an iridescent light in the sky, a trace of shock and envy also appeared in Li Qingyuan's eyes. That was one of the supreme treasures of the Zhao family in Shangyang City. Back then, that Perfected Person from the Zhao family had relied on the Exquisite Pagoda to suppress countless experts.

Even in the Chaos, this Exquisite Pagoda was awe-inspiring. It had once suppressed several natural Chaotic lifeforms. It could be considered a Chaotic dire beast that specially countered such natural Chaotic lifeforms.

With this supreme treasure, suppressing Ao was almost certain.

"This is bad!"

Seeing the Exquisite Pagoda, Lang Da was shocked. He had also heard of artifacts refined by many cultivators in the Chaos that specially countered Chaotic dire beasts like them.

Now that he saw it, it was indeed the case. A few mere half-Chaotic lifeforms could actually suppress Ao with the artifact.

Lang Da immediately revealed his true form. His violent bloodline erupted, and he was about to charge forward to save Ao.

"Vile beast, we've long been prepared for you!"

A sharp glint flashed across Li Qingyuan's eyes. With a low shout, the walking stick in his hand instantly transformed into a stream of light that smashed towards Lang Da.

Thud.

Lang Da's massive body was actually sent flying by the walking stick and fell to the ground. Multiple ribs of his were broken. The power of Li Qingyuan's strike was indeed that of a peak half-Chaotic lifeform, much stronger than Lang Da.

"Old fogey, you…"

Qi Xuan's face turned pale, and his entire body was trembling. However, he only pointed at Li Qingyuan and did not dare to attack at all. The Qi family could not even deal with Li Qingyuan, let alone when there were other experts from the Li family.

"Grr…"

Suddenly, Ao's eyes turned bloodshot, and its body began to expand rapidly. A terrifying aura constantly filled its body. It struggled wildly, trying to resist the Exquisite Pagoda in the sky and prevent it from falling.

However, with every bit of struggle, the Exquisite Pagoda would lower a little, and slowly suppress Ao bit by bit.

The Exquisite Pagoda was activated by Young Master Zhao and the other ten people together. Only then could it suppress a Chaotic dire beast that was a natural Chaotic lifeform. As Ao struggled violently, its strength seemed to be slowly depleted.

Buzz.

Ao roared at the sky. Its three heads turned red all of a sudden, and it opened its mouth.

Thump.

A terrifying flame instantly sprayed towards the Exquisite Pagoda.

"Be careful. This is Ao's Chaotic flames. It can incinerate and dissolve anything!"

Ao spewed out the Chaotic flames. The Zhao family and the others were also incomparably cautious. If a true Perfected Person was controlling the Exquisite Pagoda, they would naturally not be afraid of the Chaotic flames. However, they were only half-Chaotic lifeforms. Even the nine half-Chaotic peak lifeforms could only barely activate the Exquisite Pagoda. Such a supreme treasure consumed a terrifying amount of Chaotic aura.

However, just as Ao had only spewed out a little of the Chaotic flames, the flames disappeared without a trace. The Exquisite Pagoda merely froze for a moment. Ao struggled in pain as it tried to spew out some more Chaotic flames. Unfortunately, no matter how hard it tried, it could no longer spew out more Chaotic flames.

This was also because back in the Origin Universe, Ao had almost exhausted all the Chaotic flames. Now, it had only accumulated a little. That was not enough for such a battle at all.

Crunch.

Finally, countless bones in Ao's body were crushed, and its massive body began to lie on the ground. The three heads roared wildly, their voices echoing throughout the entire Red Phosphorus City, but it was useless. They could only watch helplessly as the Exquisite Pagoda above their heads fell.

Boom.

The Exquisite Pagoda finally landed completely. Amidst Ao's unwilling wails, it completely suppressed Ao in the Exquisite Pagoda.

"Success!"

Young Master Zhao was overjoyed. He had finally lived up to the heavy responsibility the Patriarch had entrusted to him and suppressed Ao. He would probably receive many rewards when he returned to the family.

Just as Young Master Zhao was suppressing Ao, Lin Feng, who was far away in the Qi family's library, seemed to have sensed something. His eyes opened abruptly.

"What insolence!"

Immediately, a booming voice sounded in the sky.
