Chapter 1129: Chapter 1131: The Hidden Tail Mace
It seems that the big worm was really taken down, otherwise there wouldn’t be a staircase leading to the Fifth Layer.
Sun Wukong breathed a sigh of relief and stepped onto the staircase.
The big worm in the Fourth Layer had a lower cultivation than him by a small realm, being at the Middle Stage of the Void God Realm. The Barbaric Ancient Beast in the Fifth Layer should have the sa cultivation as him, which is at the Late Stage of the Void God Realm.
What kind of beast could it be?
Hope it isn’t another worm, otherwise, I might just throw up everything I ate this morning!
As soon as he entered the space of the Fifth Layer, the staircase behind him vanished, as if it had never appeared.
Sun Wukong was slightly stunned, but then understood; this was likely to cut off the retreat to the Fourth Layer?
But he had no intention of retreating in the first place!
Raising his eyes, he found the space of the Fifth Layer to be sowhat different from that of the Fourth Layer. Although it was still boundless, it was no longer all white.
It looked like a desert area, and Sun Wukong was stepping on thick yellow sand.
The sky above was a dull gray, without a sun, indistinguishable between day and night. This was a special space within the Divine Refining Tower, of course without the division of day and night.
The visibility was clear, but there was no sight of the Barbaric Ancient Beast.
Sun Wukong’s gaze settled on the yellow sand beneath him. It was not unexpected that the Barbaric Ancient Beast of this Fifth Layer should be within this yellow sand.
What kind of beast could move within yellow sand? Surely it’s not another worm?
Sandworm?
Rustle!
The sound of yellow sand shifting reached his ears, and Sun Wukong’s heart gave a jolt—it’s coming!
His body suddenly leapt into the air.
Boom!
A huge iron pincer extended from where Sun Wukong had been standing, clamping towards him in mid-air, but Sun Wukong dodged it.
The next mont, a gigantic creature erged from beneath the yellow sand. It had the head of a tiger and the body of a scorpion.
But its tail was not like a scorpion’s; instead of a stinger, it bore a club-like tail covered with spikes, swaying nacingly behind it.
“What kind of beast is this?”
Sun Wukong furrowed his brow. He had never seen any record of such a beast in the Scripture Pavilion of the Alchemists’ Union, nor the big worm from the Fourth Layer.
It seems such Barbaric Ancient Beasts cannot be found elsewhere in the Han Hai Realm; they exist only in the Divine Refining Tower and thus were not included in the books of the Alchemists’ Union’s Scripture Pavilion.
No matter what kind of beast it is, it must be defeated!
Sun Wukong reached for the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod and was about to launch an attack when he suddenly got hit hard from behind, knocking him out of the air and onto the yellow sand ground with a heavy crash.
Boom!
The tiger-headed giant scorpion’s club-like tail ca crashing down towards Sun Wukong, but missed. Sun Wukong had rolled away just in ti to dodge this tail hamr strike.
“What just happened? What hit ?”
Sun Wukong looked perplexed and surprised. The attack he endured happened silently and without warning, which was so perplexing!
Urging his Void-Breaking Moon Eyes, Sun Wukong looked around—there was nothing, what on earth was going on?
While he pondered, a strange sensation suddenly ca from behind, making Sun Wukong’s fur stand on end—the attack was coming again!
Without ti to think, Sun Wukong imdiately jumped away, and the sand flew into the air. A huge hamr imprint appeared where he had just stood.
Yet Sun Wukong saw nothing!
No, look at the shape of the hamr imprint in the yellow sand, it’s clearly from the tiger-headed giant scorpion’s tail hamr!
But its tail hamr never moved, so what’s going on?
Sun Wukong was baffled. Even his Void-Breaking Moon Eyes couldn’t see how the tiger-headed giant scorpion launched its attack, which was really puzzling!
If it weren’t for the spiritual intuition warned earlier, I might’ve been hit again!
The strange sensation ca once more!
Sun Wukong had no ti to think carefully as his spiritual intuition warned him again. He promptly leaped away, and this ti, he finally saw a massive tail hamr briefly manifest, striking the yellow sand ground, and disappearing the next mont.
It looked identical to the tiger-headed giant scorpion’s tail hamr, but the scorpion’s tail hamr hadn’t moved at all!
This Sun Wukong could be one hundred percent sure!
Could it be that this scorpion has two tail hamrs?
And one of them only reveals itself at the mont of attack?
But why can’t the Void-Breaking Moon Eyes see it?
The Void-Breaking Moon Eyes ford from evolution to the Fourth Phase of the Void-Breaking Divine Eye; since reaching this level, nothing has escaped Sun Wukong’s sight.
Yet this ti, even with full activation of the Void-Breaking Moon Eyes, the other hidden tail hamr of the tiger-headed giant scorpion was not visible.
What’s going on here?
The attack ca once more, and Sun Wukong again evaded with the help of his spiritual intuition. This ti he seed to sense a slight anomaly—a presence of the Space Law!
“Could it be…”
A thought suddenly flashed through Sun Wukong’s mind, a thought so incredible that it was difficult to believe.
The next mont, Sun Wukong pushed the Void-Breaking Moon Eyes to their limit, and finally, beside the tiger-headed giant scorpion’s tail hamr, appeared another phantom tail hamr, faintly discernible.
“Indeed!”
Sun Wukong finally understood; his guess was correct. The other tail hamr of the tiger-headed giant scorpion was hidden in an alternative space!
Only at the mont of attack would that tail hamr reveal itself in this space, allowing Sun Wukong to perceive it.
Because it was hidden in another layer of space, Sun Wukong’s Void-Breaking Moon Eyes in their usual state couldn’t see it; only at the limit state could he catch a faint glimpse of its silhouette!
“What a bizarre Barbaric Ancient Beast! With such an eerie ability, others might indeed find it very hard to deal with, wouldn’t they?”
Sun Wukong’s spiritual intuition was always strong, yet even so, he could only detect the anomaly at the last mont of the attack. It was with the Void-Breaking Moon Eyes, pushed to their maximum, that he understood the abilities of the tiger-headed giant scorpion.
No one else might have noticed it at all!
Perhaps they wouldn’t even react in ti at the first attack, getting directly knocked down by the successive tail hamr strikes!
These Barbaric Ancient Beasts are truly stranger and stranger!
Sun Wukong fully discarded any underestimation of the Barbaric Ancient Beasts; if he didn’t take them seriously, even he could end up overturned in the gutters!
“But it ends here! Now it’s ti for , old Sun, to launch an attack!”
