Peerless Sovereign

"Bam!"    

"Bam!"    

A black tiger and a black shadow were battling in the surrounding fog.    

Each collision was accompanied by a dull explosion in the air.    

The Black Tiger had immersed its body in its bloodline, unleashing its Thousand Tempering Hundred Refining techniques to the extreme. Moreover, every strike carried a heavy force with it.    

The black shadow wielded a huge brush made of a strange metal. It was either hacking, smashing, pulling or sweeping. It did not use any martial arts and relied solely on its powerful cultivation to fight with the black tiger.    

Despite their attacks turning the world upside down, the surrounding space remained completely calm. Even the surging white fog did not show much of a change.    

After a full half an hour, the black shadow's three lightning-fast strikes landed on the Black Tiger's head, crushing its head. Only then did the battle come to an end.    

The black tiger turned into rays of light and disappeared, while the white mist in front roiled and revealed a path.    

He followed the route of the white tunnel and saw the exit of the tunnel.    

Standing in front of the screen, Su Lie watched as the exit of the mist passage slowly disappeared, then it slowly closed up and disappeared. In the blink of an eye, it once again became a normal screen.    

How could there be a space hidden inside the screen?    

After staring blankly for a moment, he slightly turned around and looked around. In front of him, there were still many screens. Although they seemed extremely weak, they were actually extremely terrifying.    

"I think it's better for me to just honestly walk through the maze!"    

Su Lie slightly shook his head and began choosing a direction to move forward in.    

In this world of screens, he could not use any martial arts. He could only rely on his elemental energy and physical body to fight. It was simply too much of a loss.    

It took half an hour to complete the battle, and there were at least ten screens in front of him. It was almost impossible for him to kill his way through them.    

Not only would it take too long, he could not even hold on to his elemental energy.    

Su Lie walked along the path between the screens, paying attention to his position as he moved forward.    

It was no different from a normal maze. There were many twists and turns, but with Su Lie's mental strength, he could easily remember all the places he had passed. As long as he tried a few more times, he would always find the right path.    

Time slowly passed and Su Lie continued to advance. In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.    

"He must have walked at least fifty to sixty miles. Why hasn't he gone out yet?"    

Su Lie's eyes swept across the surrounding screens, and an expression of anxiety appeared on his face.    

"The space between the screens is constantly fluctuating. Even I can't find any pattern. If this goes on, you won't be able to walk for the rest of your life."    

Tian Zi said in his mind.    

"How is this possible? Without the appearance of the repeated screens, I should have been constantly moving forward. How can I not be able to make it out?"    

Su Lie did not believe it.    

"There should be an extremely complex array formation here. I can't see any way either, so think of something for yourself."    

Tian Zi said again.    

Formation?    

Su Lie was somewhat alarmed. He was now Rank three formation master and could no longer be considered a novice. He could be considered to have a certain level of understanding towards formations. How could he not feel that there was a formation affecting him?    

If he couldn't even feel it, how could he break it?    

How could there be such a formation without a single trace?    

Although Su Lie knew that Tian Zi would not lie to him, Su Lie still had some doubts.    

After running madly for an hour, he had at least run for a hundred miles. However, he still could not see the exit. Only then did Su Lie stop.    

He looked around and his eyes couldn't help but narrow.    

"I've seen this screen before!"    

Su Lie stared at the screen in front of him and frowned.    

"You're looking around again?"    

Tian Zi reminded.    

Su Lie's eyes looked left and right, and his expression could not help but change.    

"I've seen these two before too, but they shouldn't be together."    

Su Lie asked in confusion.    

"Like I said before, the space here is constantly fluctuating. If I'm not wrong, these screens are always moving and recombining. It's because you always remember the pictures on the screens that you don't think you've walked past the strange ones, that's why you're following them again and again."    

Tian Zi said as he pondered.    

"Is there any way to help me find my way out?"    

Su Lie could not help but ask.    

"It's too complicated!"    

In the ancient cauldron, Tian Zi shook her head and said, "There are at least thousands of screens here that constantly move and reform. There are countless possibilities. Even a Grade 9 array master would not be able to figure out the exit."    

"Ah, wouldn't that mean we'll never be able to leave?"    

Su Lie was dumbfounded.    

"There are three ways to get out of here!"    

Tian Zi said.    

"There are three ways?"    

Su Lie's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Which three types?"    

"The first way is to have a heaven-defying mental calculation ability, and be able to calculate the changes of the screen at all times and find out the rules of the screen. The second was that one's luck was heaven-defying and they could still walk out by accident. And the third method, is to rely on your own strength to fight your way out. "    

Tian Zi laughed.    

"Isn't that the same as not saying anything?"    

Su Lie could not help but be speechless.    

Although formation masters all knew some mental deductions, Su Lie was still just Rank three formation master. He didn't have enough mental strength, so how could he deduce such a complicated formation?    

His mental strength was heaven defying. What he needed was a strong mental strength to support him. Su Lie admitted that he did not have such strength.    

As for luck, it was too vague. He didn't dare to hope at all.    

And it was precisely because Su Lie did not want to waste any time fighting that he chose to walk through the maze. This third method was completely impossible.    

"Sigh, looks like I can only fight my way out. Hopefully, I won't encounter anything too ridiculously strong."    

After pondering for a moment, Su Lie shook his head and resigned himself to his fate.    

Su Lie could no longer tell where he was. He randomly picked a screen and pushed out with both of his hands, sending out two palms.    

Azure lightning shot out as space itself transformed.    

Su Lie already had experience. Just as the space stabilized, his eyes swept in all directions.    

"Why is it not the old fisherman that was on the screen just now?"    

When Su Lie saw the black and white patterned demonic beast in front of him, he could not help but reveal a trace of doubt in his eyes.    

"Think again carefully. Did you defeat this demon beast on that screen?"    

Tian Zi asked.    

A thought flashed through Su Lie's mind and he instantly cried out in alarm: "After coming out from the black tiger screen, I saw the screen painted with this demon beast."    

Tian Zi nodded, and said: "This should be the master of the Jade Lake Painting realm, leaving it for those who want to rely on their strength to fight their way through, designing a test. No matter which screen you push, it will start with the Black Tiger, and then it will be this one in front of you. Only after seeing it will you know what's going to happen next."    

"Then let's kill!"    

Su Lie clenched his fist. The Qiankun Pen fell into his hand and his eyes locked onto the body of the demon beast.    

That demonic beast had black-and-white patterns on its body, resembling a wolf or leopard. It wasn't that tall, but its body had muscles that flowed like water. A terrifying explosive force was hidden inside its body.    

Its two front legs were bent forward as it quietly stared at Su Lie. It was cold and silent but its body was emitting an ice-cold and oppressive aura.    

The demonic beast's front legs slightly pressed down and its body suddenly became blurry.    

"Whew ~"    

In less than half a breath, a black and white patterned beast head appeared before Su Lie's eyes.    

It was too fast!    

A distance of over a hundred feet required less than half a breath of air. This sort of speed was simply shocking.    

So much so that Su Lie did not even have time to swing his Qiankun Pen to block the attack.    

"Pfft!"    

Numerous cold lights that were as fine as hair flashed past. Immediately, a couple of blood lines seeped out from Su Lie's arm.    

The eighth level of the metal stone body was unable to withstand it in the slightest.    

After the demon beast attacked, it instantly shot forward and returned to its original spot. The blurry shadow that it left behind did not even have the time to completely disappear.    

It was imaginable how fast it was!    

It was like an assassin. When its attack failed, it immediately retreated and continued to look for its next opportunity.    

Su Lie's body was covered in cold sweat. That demon beast had given him a huge amount of pressure.    

Fighting with such an opponent was too dangerous. There was no room for even the slightest mistake. As long as he made a mistake, he would not be far from death.    

Su Lie did not even dare to move, much less attack recklessly. Once he made a move, there would definitely be a flaw. That would be giving the demon beast an opportunity.    

Tens of breaths later, Su Lie couldn't help but blink his eyes. In that short instant, that demonic beast's figure became indistinct once again.    

When Su Lie opened his eyes, the demon beast was already in front of him. A pair of front claws swung out, drawing out thin streaks of cold light in the air.    

That claw swept like lightning in front of his neck, causing Su Lie's heart to beat wildly. A thick sense of danger suddenly descended, causing him to even be able to smell a hint of death within.    

He suddenly grabbed onto the Qiankun Pen with both of his hands and used all his strength to push it upwards.    

"Pfft!"    

"Bam!"    

A strand of light wind seemed to have brushed past his throat and it went slightly cold. Subsequently, a wave of piercing pain sounded out, causing all of the hairs on Su Lie's body to stand on end. He was extremely terrified.    

He was just a hair away from having his throat cut by that demonic beast.    

He lifted the Qiankun Pen against the demon beast's ribs and threw it up. The furious Su Lie loosened his grip on the demon beast before it could do anything, and threw it away. Then, he extended his arm and grabbed onto one of the demon beast's forelegs.    

"Screech ~"    

Suddenly being restrained, the demon beast also seemed to be panicking. It struggled with all its might as its sharp beak and claws fell towards Su Lie's arm.    

"Pfft!"    

Its sharp teeth bit into the back of Su Lie's hand, while its other front leg crazily slashed across his arm again and again.    

Fresh blood dripped from the back of his hand and onto his arm. It only took a moment for his arm to become badly mangled.    

If it was an ordinary person, they would definitely not be able to endure this kind of pain. But, who was Su Lie? He had already endured the pain of tempering the Innate Pill's body.    

His hand was still grabbing onto the Demonic Beast steadily. Meanwhile, a vicious glint also flashed across his eyes.    

He almost died under the claws of this demonic beast.    

This demonic beast's speed was too terrifying, he couldn't let go of it no matter what.    

With a shake of its arm, a huge force surged into the demonic beast's body, causing its entire body to soften.    

"Bang, bang, bang …"    

Su Lie swung the demonic beast and recklessly smashed it onto the ground. Once or twice … He didn't even know how many times he had smashed it. It was only when the spirit light from the demonic beast shattered into pieces in his hand that he finally stopped, gasping for breath.
