Chapter 5534

Boom!Shadow-palm and fire dragon met with a blast that split the heavens. The shock wave raced outward, uprooting trees and gouging a crater deep enough to drink the moonlight.

Several cultivators were flung like leaves before a hurricane and landed hard, groaning as blood stained their robes.

Though battered by the blast, the two young beasts clenched muscle and will alike, regaining their footing before the smoke had even cleared.

Celestial Devourer pounced first. Spotting a fallen cultivator struggling to rise, it streaked forward and swallowed him whole in a single, terrible gulp. Panic spread through the remaining attackers. They turned to flee, but neither the voracious little beast nor the fire-clad fire unicorn had any intention of letting fresh prey escape.

The Celestial Devourer widened its maw. A silent suction rippled outward, pinning the robed cultivators where they stood as though space itself had turned to glass.

Beside it, the young fire unicorn reared back, mane blazing. A fountain of vermilion fire curled across the trapped men, armor and screams melting together in a single searing note.

When the last embers faded, Celestial Devourer padded forward, swallowed the charred survivors whole, and licked its chops as if finishing a bowl of milk.
