Chapter 514: First Battle Against a Level 7 Disaster Beast (Requesting Monthly Vote)
“Roar~”
A thunderous tiger’s roar shattered the tension among the ten fighters.
Before them stood a towering Tiger-form Disaster Beast over twenty meters tall, its massive frame covered in coarse brown fur and bulging muscles. Its very presence radiated oppressive power, its sinewy limbs moving like ironclad machinery.
Lin Qi recognized it instantly—the Adamantbone Colossus Tiger, the very beast he’d chosen as his meditative visualization in The Atlas of Calamities.
And it was a Level 7 Disaster Beast.
But it wasn’t alone. Another Level 7 Disaster Beast loomed nearby—a Rhinoceros-form monstrosity. Over twenty meters in length, it resembled a living gray fortress, its body armored in thick, metallic scales bristling with razor-sharp bone spines. Its ironclad hide gleamed under the sunlight, and from its forehead jutted a spiral-shaped horn over ten meters long, its tip sharp as a blade.
The beast’s sheer bulk radiated crushing pressure.
Lin Qi identified it immediately—Level 7 Ironclad Rhinoceros.
“Adamantbone Colossus Tiger and Ironclad Rhinoceros? Two Level 7 Disaster Beasts?”
Senior Disciple Liang Tai’s face paled as he stared at the titanic creatures.
“Run!!”
A single Level 7 Disaster Beast was already beyond their capabilities—two was suicide. These were among the fiercest of their kind.
Wang Zhi Xuan, Xiao Yu, and Xi Jing exchanged horrified glances before turning to flee without hesitation. This battle was far beyond their league.
“Roar~”
The Adamantbone Colossus Tiger roared, lunging forward. Its colossal frame blurred as it closed dozens of meters in an instant, blotting out the sky.
A moment later, a wave of bloody wind—blood and death—assaulted his senses.
He spun around, thrusting his long spear forward to parry while using the force to propel himself backward. Any delay would mean fatal injuries. A direct hit would be catastrophic, but a forceful block might lessen the damage. Dodging entirely was simply too risky.
At the same moment, Lin Qi sprang into action, his Blackgold Long Spear slicing through the air.
“Vroom!”
The weapon hummed with power as golden radiance surged along its length. Facing a Level 7 Disaster Beast for the first time, he couldn’t afford mistakes—not if he wanted to protect his seniors.
He channeled his full strength, his body erupting in a golden glow. The sheer intensity made the vermilion-armored woman glance over, her eyes widening.
A Seventh Realm martial artist?
The golden spear energy coalesced into a three-meter-long blade of light, which he drove forward with a roar.
Like a golden arrow, it tore through the air, leaving ripples in its wake.
“Shshhh!”
His target—the Adamantbone Colossus Tiger’s head!
“Roar!!”
The tiger sensed the danger and instinctively retracted its paw to shield its face.
“Boom!!”
The spear struck its massive paw, detonating in a violent explosion.
“Roar~”
The beast’s anguished cry shook the heavens as its paw split open, blood spraying like a crimson rain.
“Haaah!”
Liang Tai staggered, drenched in cold sweat, his legs trembling as the pressure lifted.
Lin Qi’s expression darkened. He’d held nothing back, channeling his full Steel Qi. Yet the damage was less than he’d expected.
“Amazing!”
The vermilion-armored woman’s mind raced. This man had wounded the Adamantbone Colossus Tiger with pure spear energy alone. Its hide was as tough as ironwood—ordinary attacks barely scratched it. Who was he? She’d never seen him before. His unique aura and strength marked him as no ordinary martial artist.
Lin Qi turned to Liang Tai and the others, his voice firm.
“Leave this Adamantbone Colossus Tiger to me.”
The vermilion-armored woman stepped forward, sword in hand, offering a polite nod.
“Sorry for dragging you into this.”
Lin Qi shook his head. “No problem. On the battlefield, anything can happen. Let’s deal with them first.”
“Moooo~”
As he spoke, a deep, guttural roar rumbled through the air.
The Ironclad Rhinoceros charged, a living fortress barreling forward.
“Boom!!”
The ground quaked beneath its hooves. Its spiraled horn cleaved the air, its razor-sharp tip promising death or grievous injury to anyone caught in its path.
The vermilion-armored woman warned, “Watch out for its horn! Its piercing power is legendary—many eighth-tier weapons are forged from them.”
Lin Qi nodded. They’d studied this in the Martial Arts General Education Course. The Ironclad Rhinoceros was among the most formidable Level 7 Disaster Beasts—its armor was impenetrable, its horn a deadly weapon. A single kill could fetch thousands of Merit Points.
“Roar~”
The Adamantbone Colossus Tiger roared, pain fueling its rage. It lunged, its massive paw swiping through the air with the force of a hundred tons.
Lin Qi became a golden blur, leaping high as his long spear slashed downward. Ten golden spears erupted from his weapon, each three meters long.
Unfortunately, his recent breakthrough to the Seventh Realm limited him—his master, Mu Hong, could summon dozens of spears at once, though such feats demanded immense physical and primordial energy reserves.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The golden spears struck the tiger’s abdomen, detonating in a series of explosions. Flesh tore open, blood spraying as the beast howled in pain.
The wounds were severe but not fatal.
Meanwhile, the vermilion-armored woman clashed with the Ironclad Rhinoceros, her battle sword flashing with sword qi that sparked against its armored scales.
In the same instant, the Adamantbone Colossus Tiger’s paw lashed out again, faster this time, fueled by rage.
Lin Qi activated Thunderclap Nine Flashes, leaving multiple afterimages as he evaded.
With Golden Radiance enhancing his vision, the tiger’s movements slowed to a crawl. He predicted every strike, every motion.
He danced around the beast, releasing golden spears in rapid succession.
This was his first battle against a Level 7 Disaster Beast, yet it felt… weaker than expected. Perhaps it was because he was simply stronger.
“Boom! Boom!”
The ground cratered under the tiger’s relentless attacks, but Lin Qi remained untouched, his agility and foresight making every strike a miss.
Watching from a distance, Liang Tai, who’d just slain a Level 6 Disaster Beast, murmured in awe:
“Little junior brother is too strong…”
