CHAPTER 377: CHAPTER 65: FIVE-COLORED DIVINE BULL (PART 2)

"Moo!" The Five-Colored Divine Bull bellowed softly, glaring furiously at Lie Mountain in mid-air, its eyes instantly turning blood red.

"What a divine beast born from nature!" Lie Mountain watched the three-zhang-long Divine Bull with eyes shining green, and he shouted fiercely, "Damned beast, listen well! I am currently in need of a mount, submit obediently, and I shall spare your life. Otherwise, I shall have you dead and your soul scattered!"

"Hmph!" The Divine Bull snorted coldly, with two streams of hot white air violently spouting from its nostrils, instantly shattering the bluestone beneath it. Its huge horns flickering, it astonishingly spoke in human tongue, "You, who are neither bull nor human, an oddity, still want me as your mount? Utterly delusional!"

"What? Oddity?" Upon hearing this, Lie Mountain nearly stumbled off his War Blade. He touched the horns on top of his head and said, "Damned beast, today I must subdue you!"

"As to who is the oddity, let’s see if you have the ability!" The Divine Bull snorted angrily as its entire body instantly swelled, becoming as large as a small mountain. Its two azure horns gleamed with bright silver radiance, charging straight toward Lie Mountain in the sky.

Lie Mountain himself mainly practiced physical training, and although he cultivated Yuqing True Essence as well, it wasn’t as strong as his physical body or combat skills.

"Yuqing Immortal Skill, Fatian Xiangdi!" Lie Mountain shouted loudly, his body now no different in size from the Five-Colored Divine Bull. He quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the Divine Bull’s attack, then raised his massive forelimb, slamming it onto the back of the Five-Colored Divine Bull.

His huge palm flickered with a pale green light, and its immense strength directly cracked the void.

The Divine Bull’s eyes glimmered mockingly, and with a quick sidestep, it dodged Lie Mountain’s giant palm. Tilting its head, the sharp horns aimed right at Lie Mountain’s belly.

Lie Mountain grinned cruelly, his hand sweeping downward, grabbing onto both horns of the Divine Bull, then forcefully tossed it to the side.

"Boom!" With a loud crash, the immense body of the Divine Bull was flung into the dense forest nearby; dust soared and countless trees were broken by this force.

"Moo!" The Divine Bull roared angrily, its massive body suddenly trembling as it leapt several zhang high, its tumbling body flipping suddenly in midair. Its four powerful hooves burned with faint five-colored flames, stomping toward Lie Mountain’s chest.

"Bring it on!" Lie Mountain roared excitedly, the blood within his body surging like thundering tsunamis, each drop seemingly containing boundless strength.

He crossed his robust arms protectively in front of his chest, blocking the Divine Bull’s four hooves.

"Boom!"

Intense shockwaves spread throughout the space, circles of golden ripples radiating outward from the two fighters, slowly cleansing the area around.

The light in a radius of several dozen li dimmed, distant mountains collapsed, surrounding woods turned to dust. The void could no longer withstand this terrifying force and violently shattered.

"Heh heh, you’ve got a lot of strength, little bull!" Lie Mountain’s face turned red as he spat out these words one by one.

"Moo! Oddity, you’re not bad either!" The Divine Bull forcefully swung its tail, its body’s smooth coat forming a mist that firmly enveloped the area.

"Damn, don’t call me oddity, my name is Lie Mountain, and I belong to the Human Clan!" Hearing this, Lie Mountain’s eyes gradually reddened, and the horns on his head shone with brilliant radiance. An aura belonging to barbaric beasts explosively erupted from Lie Mountain.

"Boom!"

Unfortunately for the Divine Bull, provoking Lie Mountain’s anger, it was once again flipped onto the ground by Lie Mountain.

Struggling to rise from the ground, the five-colored flames on its body abruptly blazed, turning into five fierce and terrifying fire dragons, entwining together and weaving a series of intense patterns, tearing apart the heavens.

"Five-Colored Divine Wheel!" With a low shout, a ring suddenly soared from the Divine Bull’s eyes, radiating five-colored Divine Flames, the extreme heat directly scorching the void.

In the void, the ring slowly enlarged, firmly locked onto Lie Mountain, the terrifying energy fluctuations almost identical to Kong Xuan’s Five-Colored Divine Light.

"Boom!"

The Divine Wheel hovered in the sky, charging directly towards Lie Mountain, the endless brilliance reflecting the void as if it were a five-colored ocean.

Lie Mountain faintly smiled, suddenly swinging his fist. A pale golden light screen washed down from the towering horns, enveloping every inch of Lie Mountain’s skin.

This was an Innate Divine Ability he had abruptly awakened years ago. After many years of guidance from Li Qingming, Lie Mountain had finally harnessed the energy from his horns. This energy significantly enhanced Lie Mountain’s physical strength, allowing him to battle beyond his level.

Lie Mountain chuckled, his hand shimmering with golden light as he grabbed the Divine Wheel, unfazed by the intense heat. He fiercely spun the Five-Colored Divine Wheel, controlling it to reverse its course, colliding with the Divine Bull’s forehead.

However, as this was not originally Lie Mountain’s weapon, he struggled to completely control it. The Five-Colored Divine Wheel resisted violently, clanging noisily as the flames burned even more fiercely.

"Moo!" Seizing the opportunity, the Divine Bull stood upright, its massive hooves becoming incredibly heavy, and ferociously kicked towards Lie Mountain’s chest.

"Bang!"

Busy controlling the Five-Colored Divine Wheel and unable to deal with this attack, Lie Mountain was kicked dozens of feet away by the Divine Bull. The potent impact damaged his internal organs severely, and a large amount of blood spurted out from his mouth.

"Damn beast!" Lie Mountain wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his body radiating golden blood qi unabashedly, displaying the formidable physical prowess. Golden sacred radiance flickered from his head, where the bull’s horns were, filling the air and fracturing the skies!

"Moo! Mutant, you can’t defeat me! As long as you agree that henceforth the Human Clan will no longer hunt my Explosive Bull clan, I’ll let you go. Otherwise, I will totally flatten your Lie Mountain Tribe!" The Divine Bull’s eyes blazed with endless divine flames, showing disdain, pity and an inexplicable sadness towards Lie Mountain.

"Killing me? In your dreams!" With a cold flare in his eyes, Lie Mountain let out a clear whistle. The mountain peaks in the distance all crumbled, and rocks shot through the air! Holding the golden war blade he had previously used for flying, he rushed forward with the blade in both hands.

"Cling, clang, clang!"

The Divine Bull constantly shook its head, using its large horns to block. The clash between them produced continuous metallic sounds.

Their bodies were engulfed in blazing divine radiance; the golden blood qi and the Five-Colored Divine Flames collided fiercely, completely inundating tens of miles around.

"Whoosh!"

Lie Mountain’s longsword was wedged between the two horns of the Divine Bull, pressing it down from the skies to the ground.

"Boom!"

A mountain ten thousand feet tall was shattered by their impact, dust and debris rose, forming massive clouds of lead which covered the sky and blocked the Great Sun.

"You fool, use the Beast Taming Technique!" Just as Lie Mountain was gasping for breath and pressing the Divine Bull to the ground, a familiar voice sounded in his ear.

"Master?" Lie Mountain was startled at first, then his expression lit up with joy, though his movements halted for a moment.

"Moo!" The Divine Bull wouldn’t miss this opportunity; it howled fiercely. Its hind legs kicked, and with a push of its huge head, it sent Lie Mountain flying.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Lie Mountain flipped twice in the air to steady himself.

"Stupid kid, have you thrown away everything I taught you?" Li Qingming’s voice was filled with anger, an anger at his lack of competition, yet it had a calming effect. It instantly dissipated the slightly violent aura around Lie Mountain like a refreshing breeze.

"It’s my foolishness!" Lie Mountain’s face flushed, guiltily muttering to himself.

"This bull is an Innate Mutant, the Five-Colored Divine Bull, born with the capability to control the Five-Colored Divine Flames and possessing immense strength, capable of covering billions of miles in a day, making it a prime choice for mounts. First use the Beast Taming Technique to subdue this Five-Colored Divine Bull, then gradually coax it. Everything requires strategy, not brute force!" Li Qingming’s voice was full of helplessness – his disciple was good in many ways, but sometimes not wise.

Hearing this, Lie Mountain nodded earnestly and said, "Disciple understands!"

"The Forbidden Demon Technique, Bind!" Thinking of it, Lie Mountain touched the Void, and a profound Dharma Seal emerged with a waft of pale green Yuqing True Essence. This Dharma Seal embodied a fluctuation of the Great Dao; barely appearing in the Void, it attracted Circulation Spirit Qi from all directions.

The Five-Colored Divine Bull’s eyes flashed a hint of golden light, and its forehooves anxiously scraped at the ground, exhaling two streams of hot white air from its large nostrils.

"Moo!"

It was uncertain how much time had passed, but as the Dharma Seal in the Void became clearer, and the spiritual energy in the surrounding hundred miles grew thinner. Finally unable to bear it, the Divine Bull, engulfed in terrifying divine flames meters high, burst out like a cannonball, charging straight towards Lie Mountain.

"Demon-locking, seize!" Lie Mountain’s eyes suddenly widened, and with a light touch towards the Void, the blue-glowing talisman rapidly pierced through the Void. Catching the Divine Bull off guard, it embedded itself into the top of its head.

"It worked!" Lie Mountain, who had almost exhausted all his Yuqing True Essence, clenched his fist excitedly, then looked expectantly at the Divine Bull.

"Moo!"

The rapidly advancing Five-Colored Divine Bull abruptly halted. It looked at Lie Mountain with an expression of pain, its mountain-like huge body thunderously collapsing, continuously emitting painful moans.

Lie Mountain wanted to step forward and pet the Divine Bull’s head, but was scared off by its fierce and hateful gaze.

Seeing the painful state of the Five-Colored Divine Bull, Lie Mountain, not yet twenty years old, suddenly realized he wasn’t so ruthless after all. He waved his hand towards the Five-Colored Divine Bull, and a boundless radiance flashed by. The green Beast Taming Seal gradually squeezed out from the forehead of the Five-Colored Divine Bull.

"Go! And never let me see you again!" Lie Mountain stored away the shimmering green talisman, and without turning back, walked towards the Lie Mountain Tribe. (To be continued.
