Yang Fei thought of the Heaven-devouring Beast's massive size and innate divine power, believing its physical attacks would cause some damage to the Spirit Ship.

But Yun Zong's tone suggested otherwise, so he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"

Yun Zong replied, "The Spirit Ship's maintenance relies not only on the rune array engraved on it but most importantly on spirit stones as its power source. The Heaven-devouring Divine Beast can swallow everything in the world, especially having a fondness for spirit stones that contain spiritual energy. If it acts, it might devour the spirit stone energy of this Spirit Ship, breaking its defense effortlessly."

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Senior Brother Yun Zong is right. We all forgot about the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast before, wasting these past few days."

The other members of the Lingxiao Sect, including Ye Wuya, also nodded one after another.

Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang were stunned.

Is this even possible?

Both of them looked towards the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast.

Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang were also greatly surprised. The Heaven-devouring Divine Beast made them feel a tremendous threat. They had never heard of such an ancient mystical beast.

Now hearing the Lingxiao Sect people talk about the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast's ability to devour everything, they were both shocked and suspicious, finding it hard to believe.

On the Spirit Ship, Wu You and others were all captivated by the sudden appearance of the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast, and their eyes were all on it, displaying uncertain looks.

"What is this creature?"

"It looks like an ape but isn't one, never seen before."

"It seems there's a record in the 'Shanhai Chronicle of Exotic Creatures' that... this beast might originate from ancient times. It's the most powerful Heaven-devouring Divine Beast!"

In the end, someone recalled the account from the Shanhai Chronicle and exclaimed.

"Heaven-devouring Divine Beast?"

"Oh my god, this really resembles the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast described in the Shanhai Chronicle."

"Wasn't the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast supposed to have disappeared from the Cultivation World? How did it appear here?"

"What was this planet once, for an ancient divine beast to exist here?"

At that moment, everyone on the Spirit Ship was in a state of great change and exclamations.

And just as everyone was exclaiming, the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast roared, and its body suddenly expanded, directly soaring to a height of more than ten zhang.

It seemed to understand Yang Fei's intention, roaring toward the Spirit Ship direction, a terrible sonic wave rushing towards everyone on the ship. Even though everyone on the Spirit Ship were Foundation Establishment cultivators or higher, they felt their state of mind vibrate, eardrums about to rupture, and souls a bit unstable.

The Spirit Ship rippled slightly in the void.

"Go," Yang Fei shouted to the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast.

"Roaaar!"

The Heaven-devouring Divine Beast let out a roar, and its majestic body made a sudden leap, arriving beside the Spirit Ship.

Wu You was greatly shocked: "Quick, go!"

The person piloting the Spirit Ship immediately moved it.

However, they were just a bit too late.

Only to see the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast leap in mid-air, its huge palm fiercely slapping towards the Spirit Ship.

"Bang!"

Like a small mountain, the giant palm slapped the defensive Light Shield surrounding the Spirit Ship, causing the entire ship to shake violently, as if it had encountered a giant wave in the ocean, bouncing forward dozens of meters, nearly losing balance and capsizing.

The defensive shield seemed to develop spiderweb-like cracks but quickly healed and recovered.

But still, the people on the Spirit Ship felt a violent shock, their faces filled with horror.

No wonder it was an ancient divine beast; too fierce!

Even though this was clearly just a young Heaven-devouring Divine Beast, its outburst was comparable to a strike from a Core Formation Master.

Too powerful!

It's unbelievable that on this newly spiritual energy revived planet, such an ancient species like the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast would exist!

Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang, who had never witnessed the power of the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast, were dumbfounded, gasping upon seeing this strike with their own eyes.

This...

Damn, if we were hit by this ancient divine beast, wouldn't we be smashed into a meat patty?

Too fierce!

However, it wasn't over yet.

The Heaven-devouring Divine Beast, seeing the Spirit Ship fly off, showed a hint of rage on its face, suddenly opening its blood-red mouth wide, devouring!

Whooosh!

A domineering gale instantly swept across the void.

The entire Spirit Ship was caught by this gale. After shaking violently for a moment, it seemed that its driving force and the suction force created by the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast's opening mouth reached some sort of balance. The Spirit Ship trembled intensely in mid-air, fixed in place.

Yang Fei was startled, urgently performing an instant teleportation with Qin Yanyang to escape.

The driving power of this Spirit Ship was too strong, and it's so far from the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast. The young beast's devouring power wasn't enough to hold on to the ship.

Once the Spirit Ship makes a full-speed escape, it would be hard to chase, and he didn't want to miss this heaven-sent opportunity.

The Lingxiao Sect members saw this as well and flew towards the Spirit Ship.

Lu Chen instantly cast out dozens of talismans, which exploded around the Spirit Ship. As Lu Chen held a spell in his hand, muttering incantations, after several breaths, he shouted loudly, "Formation commence!"

In an instant, the power from those exploded talismans formed a giant silver web array, covering the sky where the Spirit Ship was.

Trapped Dragon Formation!

The other six members of the Lingxiao Sect saw Lu Chen temporarily trap the Spirit Ship with the Trapped Dragon Formation and flew around the ship, ready for a fight.

Yang Fei, Qin Yanyang, Helian Zhan, and Wang Chunyang directly blocked the escape direction of the Spirit Ship, forming a front and rear encirclement with the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast.

The Heaven-devouring Divine Beast, along with the Spirit Ship trapped in the Trapped Dragon Formation, was visibly panicked for a moment but quickly realized the formation was aiding it. It immediately roared, its blood-red mouth opening once more, the devouring power even stronger.

After another tremor, the Spirit Ship slowly began moving towards the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast.

Wu You and others' expressions changed drastically as one among them flashed a cold light in their eyes, shouting, "Withdraw the protective shield."

The person maneuvering the Spirit Ship immediately complied, and the light shield surrounding the Spirit Ship disappeared.

The one who spoke earlier now had a thunderbolt weapon in hand, which was thrown towards the blood-red mouth of the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast.

Outside the Trapped Dragon Formation, Yang Fei was alarmed and shouted, "Be careful."

The Heaven-devouring Divine Beast was intensely perceptive. Before Yang Fei's warning was needed, it realized the object being hurled at it was problematic. Instantly, its suction turned into expulsion, and with a puff, a jet-stream-like air burst from its mouth, crashing into the incoming thunderbolt weapon.

Boom!

The thunderbolt weapon, hit in mid-air, exploded instantly with power akin to a small nuclear bomb.

Yang Fei and others were secretly horrified.

They never imagined that people in the Cultivation World had such weapons.

The Southern Domain's Foundation Establishment cultivators were even more shocked, not expecting the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast to respond so swiftly and be so powerful, effortlessly blasting away a thunderbolt weapon with a single breath.

"Hiss!"

After exhaling the jet of qi, the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast immediately opened its mouth to devour again, the powerful suction force instantly affecting everyone on the Spirit Ship.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator who threw the thunderbolt weapon changed dramatically in expression, feeling unable to stand on the Spirit Ship, floating directly upwards.

Fortunately, the fellow disciple beside him acted quickly and pulled him back urgently.

But even so, the two's bodies paused only slightly before again unable to stabilize, floating off the Spirit Ship.

Other cultivators nearby took action, pulling the two back.

With everyone's combined strength, they managed to withstand the Heaven-devouring Beast's suction force.

However, they quickly discovered an alarming fact: the entire Spirit Ship was moving toward the Heaven-devouring Beast.

Not only that, after retracting the ship's outer defense, a large amount of spiritual energy on the ship was being frantically absorbed towards the Heaven-devouring Beast. Inside the Spirit Ship's control room, dozens of top-grade spirit stones that provided power for the ship suddenly jumped in the direction of the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast's mouth, disappearing.

Without the energy provided by the spirit stones, the Spirit Ship immediately lost its driving power.

The expressions of everyone on the Spirit Ship changed dramatically, and Wu You shouted, "Abandon ship, go!"

Staying on the ship would only mean being sucked to the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast, and then everyone would perish.
