Chapter 457: The Drought Beast

Two streams of light soared through the landscape, instantly crossing dozens of miles to find a more suitable battlefield. Whenever they spotted a disaster beast in the Reverse Realm worthy of subjugation, the two would take action to eliminate it, while Yun Ye’s various stats steadily grew.

“Spirit Law 85%, Physical Law 82%. The results for the second day aren’t bad.”

Yun Ye did not slack off, but the growth rate in the later stages had indeed slowed down. It seemed there was an experience penalty for killing lower-level beings, and although there was still growth, it was greatly diminished. Dongwang City had likely trained high-level Foreign Warriors for this reason.

By the end of the day, Yun Ye finally felt the burden of the Holy Attire, but Shui Wuge’s use of it clearly surpassed his by a wide margin. She could use it for an extended period, and according to her, a few more days wouldn’t be a problem; perhaps she was not far from the Sublimation Form.

“Is that… the Drought Beast?”

Shui Wuge suddenly stopped. Ten kilometers away, a disaster beast resembling a sheep slowly crossed a river.

This disaster beast, named the Drought Beast, had fluffy white fur and horns resembling those of a sheep. It exuded a strong aura of death, and wherever it passed, the river inexplicably dried up, signaling bad omens.

“What’s this? Is it a rare disaster beast?”

Yun Ye asked, genuinely unaware; he hadn’t seen this beast in Tomorrow Nation for five hundred years.

“The abilities of the Reverse Realm body are consistent with those in reality. This Drought Beast has the power to dry up water sources in the real world! It was said that before it was transformed into a disaster beast, it was a creature that brought forth water, but now it possesses such destructive power—”

“That power is also harmful to humans. Ordinary beings entering its effective range would die from lack of water. Foreign Warriors have some resistance, but they would also perish faster the closer they get.”

Shui Wuge’s armored eyes shimmered.

“So, what now?”

Yun Ye was puzzled.

“The materials on it can be used to make Spiritual Attire. At that point, Watercolor Paradise might advance even further.”

Shui Wuge extended her wings for Yun Ye to see. Each of her wings represented a different water-based ability, and she already had six.

Moreover, each ability was not chosen randomly; they complemented each other, capable of forming the true ultimate ability, “Watercolor Paradise.”

“What are we waiting for? Let’s return to reality and hunt it down!”

Yun Ye said.

“We can do it in the Reverse Realm. We’ll heavily injure it there first, and then retrieve the corpse in reality.”

“Watercolor Paradise!”

A new figure materialized beside Shui Wuge; it was another Shui Wuge, but without a shadow—merely a Reverse Realm body.

The Watercolor Paradise Holy Attire could capture and control Reverse Realm bodies, allowing them to open the gate to return to the Reverse Realm.

When the Reverse Realm body returned, it wouldn’t create another physical Shui Wuge, ultimately forming a clone with all of Shui Wuge’s combat power.

Unfortunately, neither the physical body nor the Reverse Realm body could be harmed or killed; they were one entity, and any impact would be synchronized.

“If the Reverse Realm body is injured, will you be hurt as well?”

Yun Ye looked at Shui Wuge with a strange expression. She was clad in splendid armor, accompanied by a floating clone; everything truly seemed complete.

“Don’t worry. The Reverse Realm body will copy the Holy Attire as well, so we can both use it. It’s hard to get hurt.”

Shui Wuge was confident in her strength.

“Then let’s get to work.”

“Earth Golem!”

Yun Ye extended his hand, and the earthy yellow spirit energy, infused with a vibrant emerald hue, flowed like liquid toward the ground. Instantly, the earth seemed alive, trembling and surging.

Since the Drought Beast was a water-element disaster beast, it was only right to use an appropriate Spiritual Law for restraint, where elemental countering carried considerable suppressive power.

The Spiritual Law composed of earth and wood elements led to the Earth Golem being the top choice, as both elements countered the water element effectively.

As the earth rolled, a five-meter-tall clay golem gradually stood up. Although the density of the spirit energy limited its size, its strength was still remarkable, and its overall qualities were quite formidable.

Once born, the Earth Golem surged across the ground, moving swiftly without legs, and transformed its arms into gigantic lances that stabbed towards the Drought Beast.

The Drought Beast was also quite large, and matched the Earth Golem in size. It cast a glance at the golem, then struck the ground with its hoof, causing a powerful shockwave that spread remarkably.

These monsters were known for their physical strength, with various divine abilities relying little on the spirit energy of heaven and earth, making it difficult for contemporary Spiritual Laws to pose a threat to them.

However, it clearly underestimated its opponent’s power. The Earth Golem charged through the Storm, seemingly unscathed, and its lance pierced the Drought Beast, causing it to sink into the ground as immense force created a fierce collision between demonic power and spirit energy.

“Ugh!”

The Drought Beast reacted with a furious roar, ghostly blue flames erupting around its body, lifting the Earth Golem. However, it was quickly slammed back down again, as a massive amount of ghostly blue flames was shattered, evaporating in the wake of its defensive actions.

“Though its power is high, the Earth Golem can leverage the weight of the entire earth, and it can actually lift it in one go.”

Yun Ye was surprised; it appeared his foundational strength was still too weak. Otherwise, a single thrust should have cleaved the Drought Beast in half.

“Being able to do this is already quite strong. Elder Brother, not everyone is as abnormal as you are.”

Shui Wuge stated helplessly.

“Look.”

A white vortex materialized in her hand, releasing numerous cutting water lines. Yet, as they approached the Drought Beast, they visibly vanished, unable to inflict any harm.

“Monsters inherently possess physiques and vitality that surpass Spiritual Attire, along with powerful divine abilities. Furthermore, they have already died once; unless their bodies are completely obliterated, they won’t die. They are like the most terrifying killing machines.”

“Against the Drought Beast, most of the techniques from Watercolor Paradise are ineffective, and we can only resort to the Spirit Law—”

“Spirit Law: Blade Unleashed!”

Two Shui Wuge conjured water flow lances, compressing them into solid forms in an instant. Their surfaces blurred, enveloped in a layer of destructive Divine Power.

Demonstrating her strength, she swept in an arc, attacking the Drought Beast.

With the Drought Beast suppressed by the Earth Golem, it could not retaliate with its physical body and had no choice but to unleash its demonic power through its divine abilities!

A surge of massive demonic power gathered between its horns, condensing a sea of water elements. This was the result of its accumulated strength from depleting significant water sources and was truly overwhelming.

At the moment of release, it completely vaporized the upper half of the Earth Golem, and the residual shockwave spread for dozens of miles, penetrating all objects in its path, parting the earth as if styled.

It finally broke free of control, reigniting its ghostly blue flames and with a powerful stomp, evaporated all moisture in the vicinity. Shui Wuge, being the first target, felt a violent fluctuation in her spirit energy as she struggled against this power over water sources. Her lance trembled rapidly, deteriorating, but the Spirit Law: Blade Unleashed remained unaffected.

“Boom!”

The two Spirit Law blades pierced out in succession, colliding with the Drought Beast’s body. The Drought Beast roared and unleashed a water cannon but managed to dodge it. The ghostly blue flames were continuously destroyed by the Spirit Law blades, gradually dimming.

Behind the two Shui Wuge, the six wings and six rings lit up significantly, while the Drought Beast’s body expanded at various locations, its blood controlled within.

“Fourfold Water Blast!”

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
