Ling Cage: I am a spiritual master, devouring source matter to become a god.

"The Gluttonous Lord?" Tasia was stunned upon hearing this name. "You mean the Gluttonous Lord?"

Jingyuan did not reply, because Taojun had already approached him.

Tao Jun smiled and looked at Jing Yuan, "Without that board, you can't fly!"

"Hmph!" Jing Yuan snorted coldly, and without saying a word, launched an attack with his battle blade!

"Rushing forth! Breaking through the waves!"

Jing Yuan charged up his strength from a distance, unleashing a burst of power from his legs as he charged rapidly toward Tao Jun.

This move combines the power of the first and second moves of the sword technique, resulting in an extremely powerful final impact.

Jingyuan's attack would have no problem cleaving the Double-jawed Beast in two.

"clang!"

Tao Jun caught the battle sword with both of his right hands.

Take the sword with your bare hands!

Jingyuan's eyes widened.

This time, he caught it with one hand, not both!

He blocked Jing Yuan's attacks twice, but this time his hands were covered with bone armor.

This shows that the fang-shaped sword couldn't even penetrate the bone armor on his hands.

Jingyuan quickly withdrew his sword and launched another sword attack.

"Spatial Spinning Slash!"

"Clang clang clang clang!"

Tao Jun used his four hands, either fists or palms, to block Jing Yuan's attacks one by one.

"Jingyuan! Run!"

Tasia's voice came through the earpiece!

She was unaware of the battle situation here; she let Jingyuan escape simply because she heard Taojun's name.

"Escape?" Tao Jun chuckled; he had also heard the voice in his earphones.

"You have no chance to escape!"

Tao Jun rushed over and threw two punches.

Seeing the powerful force of the punch, Jingyuan stretched out his arm to block it.

Bang!

Jing Yuan was sent flying by a punch.

"Jingyuan! Run!" Tasia shouted again from inside the spaceship, unsure if Jingyuan had received the message.

Penny, standing nearby, asked worriedly, "Is this Devouring Beast very powerful?"

Tasia explained, "The Gluttonous Lord was one of the twelve peak kings of the Devouring Beasts that appeared back then. He could absorb the life essence of tens of thousands of people in an instant, making him an extremely terrifying existence among the Devouring Beasts!"

"What!" Penny's heart jumped into her throat.

"Tasia! Get everyone and escape! We can't let him find the lighthouse!"

"And what about you!"

"Don't worry about me! Let's go!"

Jingyuan got up from the ground and looked up ahead.

Tao Jun's fist came down again.

Jing Yuan suddenly exerted force with both legs, leaped into the air, and flew into the sky.

Tao Jun suddenly jumped up and chased after him.

Seeing this, Jing Yuan focused all his strength on the battle blade, and at the same time, twelve strands of mental energy were also applied to the battle blade.

Jing Yuan suddenly exerted his strength and slashed down along the spatial fluctuations.

This strike lacked any swordsmanship technique; it was purely based on immense force.

Tao Jun was not afraid at all and met the attack with both fists!

"Crack!"

The sword struck the fist covered in bone armor, and the bone armor cracked!

The powerful shockwave spread out, forming a gust of air.

Tao Jun's body was also knocked to the ground by the powerful impact!

Although he had shot down Tao Jun, Jing Yuan felt no joy.

Because he knew the difference in strength between himself and Tao Jun.

With all the power of this fifth-tier body plus the support of twelve strands of mental energy, it only managed to break through one crack in the bone armor.

Tao Jun's physical strength and physical prowess far surpassed his own.

Jingyuan turned and flew away!

"Don't even think about escaping!" Tao Jun immediately gave chase. He couldn't fly, but his running speed on the ground was astonishing!

Jingyuan looked back and saw that Taojun was less than 100 meters away from him, and the gap was gradually narrowing.

One flew, the other ran; the one that flew was not as good as the one that ran, which shows how terrifying Tao Jun's strength was.

Seeing that he was about to catch up with Jing Yuan, Tao Jun suddenly exerted his strength and jumped into the air. His bone armor extended into claws and pounced on Jing Yuan's back.

With a thought, Jing Yuan retrieved the surfboard from the ground.

Stepping onto the surfboard, Jingyuan's speed suddenly increased as his body and mind became one.

The gluttonous beast missed its target mid-air!

He landed on the ground, glaring fiercely at Jing Yuan who was flying in the air. "Flying is such a hassle!"

Tao Jun suddenly closed his eyes, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"There's no need to evolve the Blood Vortex again. It's a pity that this newly promoted lord was killed by him!"

Tao Jun muttered to himself for a moment, then activated his source energy, distorted space, and took flight.

Chapter 226, Fifth Form: Entering the Sea

Jingyuan remained in low-altitude flight. He knew that Taojun could not fly, so he did not intend to escape. Instead, he searched nearby for the surfboard and crescent blade that had been knocked away.

Jing Yuan picked up the crescent blades scattered in the wilderness one by one, and when he turned around, he found that Tao Jun was actually flying!

Jing Yuan stopped and stood on the surfboard, with nine crescent blades floating around his body.

"Why aren't you running anymore?" Tao Jun flew over, but seeing Jing Yuan stop, he didn't launch an attack.

"You can actually fly!" Jing Yuan frowned. "I didn't expect that a Devouring Beast like you would actually be hiding your true abilities!"

"Hahaha!" Tao Jun laughed, "I just learned it!"

Jing Yuan frowned. "If what you said is true, then you are considered a genius in the Devouring Beast Clan. You learned so quickly!"

The flying Devouring Beasts Jingyuan had seen before only had a pair of wings; he had never seen a wingless Devouring Beast that could fly...

Do not!

There is one!

The tentacle monster Devourer we encountered before could fly! It was able to fly because it had grasped the principle of creating antigravity through spatial distortion.

And this gluttonous king is just like that!

"You know nothing about us, yet you draw such conclusions about us! Human, you are as arrogant as the humans I've encountered before!" Tao Jun stared at Jing Yuan and asked, "Let me tell you! It's not that I learned it so quickly, but rather that you learned this skill by killing that Devouring Beast, and I merely shared his ability!"

"What?" Jingyuan was both surprised and puzzled.

What is sharing capability?

"Human, what is your name?"

"What do you want to do?"

"You've survived under my watch for so long, you deserve to be remembered by me!"

"Jingyuan!"

"Jing Yuan." Tao Jun uttered Jing Yuan's name, his four hands outstretched, revealing sharp claws. "Prepare to die, Jing Yuan!"

Tao Jun brandished its sharp claws, and in an instant, twenty spatial rifts appeared in the air, flying towards Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan hurriedly summoned the Crescent Blade, surfboard, and battle sword to defend himself.

Even so, cracks still pierced through Jing Yuan's body, his armor cracked instantly, and his body and face were cut one after another.

Such power from a distance!

Even with four layers of protection—the crescent blade, the surfboard, the battle knife, and the armor—Jing Yuan was still injured.
