Chapter 679: Chapter 679: Tragedy in the Face of the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail

"Eeyah, eeyah!" The Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail, enraged, charged at Wu Huan, its massive mouth enlarging to an unimaginable size, aimed directly at him.

Facing the gaping maw, Wu Huan felt a shiver of dread pierce his heart. Though the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail\'s head was small, its mouth could stretch like rubber, expanding incredibly wide. Inside that mouth was a void that devoured everything, even light, leaving only a pitch-black abyss.

Dread surged again. Without hesitation, Wu Huan thrust his palm forward, creating a massive energy hand that struck fiercely at the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail.

"Chomp!" The powerful energy attack was swallowed in one gulp.

Wu Huan\'s hair stood on end in terror. What kind of monster was this?

He dared not make contact with it, quickly retreating from the range of the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail\'s mouth. The terrifying creature\'s gaping maw seemed capable of devouring anything. Was it a legendary Taotie, capable of consuming everything?

Luckily, the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail was slower than Wu Huan. Otherwise, Wu Huan would have met a grim fate. Escaping the jaws with a cold sweat, he looked back at the creature with lingering fear.

Having missed Wu Huan, the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail redirected its enormous mouth toward the Soul-Falling Bell.

Seeing this, Wu Huan\'s face twisted in rage. "Heaven\'s retribution can be postponed, but self-inflicted sin cannot be survived!"

Wu Huan tightened his grip and pointed at the Soul-Falling Bell. The bell\'s ringing ceased. His eyes gleamed coldly, preparing to strike when suddenly:

"Boom!" A distant clap of thunder echoed, not like Zhong Shan\'s Heavenly Thunder Transformation, but as if from the heavens themselves. An overwhelming force descended upon them, causing everyone to pause.

The Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail halted. Zhong Shan looked up, as did Wu Huan, Gui Shou in the distance, and Wang Ku.

In the distant sky, red clouds roiled, thunder rumbled, and a divine wrath seemed to descend upon them.

"You\'re...you\'re undergoing a tribulation at this moment?" Lu Guatian shouted in shock.

Wu Jiutian undergoing a tribulation? Everyone turned to look at Wu Jiutian, who was engulfed in flames. The "幺" character on her forehead grew clearer as veins bulged on her temples, trying to expel the divine mark. Unable to do so, she went mad, using herself as a catalyst to summon the heavenly wrath and prepare for her tribulation.

"Where do you think you\'re going? Today, either you die or I perish!" Wu Jiutian shouted maniacally.

As Lu Guatian turned to flee, Wu Jiutian blocked his path.

"Madwoman, madwoman!" Lu Guatian roared.

"Madwoman? I\'m undergoing a tribulation, and you will join me in it! Hahaha!" Wu Jiutian laughed wildly.

Endless flames erupted from her body, shooting into the sky and forming a gigantic flaming phoenix. The terrifying blaze sealed Lu Guatian\'s escape route.

Wu Jiutian and Lu Guatian were locked in a deadly struggle!

Wu Jiutian, restricted by the divine mark of the "幺" character, and Lu Guatian, gravely injured, both faced the heavenly tribulation in a weakened state. The ultimate outcome of this struggle was uncertain.

As Lu Guatian fled, Wu Jiutian pursued him relentlessly, with the heavenly wrath following closely. Fleeing left them with no energy to resist the tribulation, yet staying offered them a fighting chance. Within moments, they had distanced themselves from Zhong Shan.

Meanwhile, Zhong Shan quickly acted. The enormous Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail clamped down on the body of the Soul-Falling Bell with its gaping mouth.

Wu Huan realized the danger and sneered with a hint of malice. "Most Powerful Bell!"

With a shout, the Soul-Falling Bell shone with a golden light, emitting a sword-like brilliance that pierced the surroundings, shaking the space with powerful ripples. The intense golden light even made the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail shudder.

"Dong!" The Soul-Falling Bell rang again with a thunderous sound. The vibrations, laden with high-frequency oscillations, attached to the golden light. The light began to tremble at high frequency, leaving black lines in its wake—these were not ordinary lines, but spatial fissures, caused by the intense impact.

This ability to tear space was a hallmark of high-level Heavenly Extreme Realm cultivators, and the sheer density of the golden light made its destruction immense.

Seeing the display of the Soul-Falling Bell, Wu Huan smirked coldly, thinking that even a monster that could devour everything would be pierced like a sieve by the onslaught.

However, Wu Huan\'s smile soon froze.

"Chomp!" Despite the golden light\'s onslaught, the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail continued its attack. Its immense mouth clamped down, seemingly unaffected by the golden light.

Three thousand feet—the Soul-Falling Bell had expanded to such a size, radiating countless beams of golden light. It was an immense, powerful artifact. Yet, the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail greedily bit down, devouring most of the bell. In just another moment, it would have consumed it entirely. The infinite golden light seemed incapable of harming the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail.

Wu Huan was filled with terror, his body trembling uncontrollably. "Rise!" he shouted in fear, trying to pull the Soul-Falling Bell out of the creature\'s mouth.

"Crunch!" A muffled sound was heard as the Soul-Falling Bell flew out, but it was no longer the mighty artifact. It looked more like a broken bowl, having been bitten through and enjoyed by the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail.

"Spurt!" Wu Huan spat out blood, either from the damage to the Soul-Falling Bell affecting his spirit or from sheer anger. He looked up with a pale face, filled with despair.

The Soul-Falling Bell had been his companion for thousands of years, and now, it was gone in an instant, devoured by this monster. Devoured?

Never had Wu Huan imagined such an end for his treasured bell. He had considered it being broken by swords, shattered by blades, or smashed by hammers, but never eaten.

The remaining half of the Soul-Falling Bell, still flying, was not spared either. A massive tail of the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail swung down, sending the half bell crashing back into its mouth.

"Chomp!" The Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail chewed contentedly, its eyes narrowing in pleasure, thoroughly enjoying the meal.

Wu Huan watched in horror as the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail savored the remains of the Soul-Falling Bell. His heart was filled with despair and disbelief. "What kind of monster is this? My Soul-Falling Bell..."

"Eeyah, eeyah!" After finishing its meal, the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail shook with excitement. Then, it turned its head, and its big, gleaming black eyes fixated on Wu Huan.

Those expectant eyes sent a shiver down Wu Huan\'s spine. He turned to flee.

"Celestial Slash! Five Hundred Waves!" Zhong Shan shouted.

The mighty blade, Nightmare, locked onto Wu Huan and slashed down with immense force. The blade unleashed vast waves of spatial power, hurtling toward Wu Huan. This was Zhong Shan\'s utmost effort, nearly reaching the full power of a mid-level Heavenly Extreme Realm expert.

Yet, Wu Huan was still a Heavenly Extreme Realm cultivator. Even heavily injured, he could withstand this powerful strike.

With a swift motion, Wu Huan donned a pair of black gloves. As the colossal blade descended upon him, his eyes turned cold. He struck out with his palm, meeting the blade head-on.

"Boom!" Despite his injuries, Wu Huan managed to dissipate the power of the Celestial Slash, though the force pushed him back a hundred feet. He looked at Zhong Shan in shock.

"Is this really an Imperial Extreme Realm cultivator? How could he unleash such a powerful strike?"

Wu Huan stared at Zhong Shan in disbelief. This youth was too formidable. If he reached the Heavenly Extreme Realm, who could stop him?

While Wu Huan was still reeling from the shock, a smaller, purple tail suddenly coiled around his waist.

"Damn it!" Wu Huan\'s face turned pale. He realized he was in grave danger—it was the monster!

Zhong Shan smirked coldly. He never expected the Celestial Slash to harm Wu Huan, just to delay him long enough for the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail to catch him. Once it did, the fight was over.

Wu Huan struggled desperately, but the tail\'s grip was impossibly strong. Even as a Heavenly Extreme Realm cultivator, he couldn\'t move.

The massive mouth of the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail closed in on Wu Huan with terrifying speed.

"No!" Wu Huan screamed, finding himself at the brink of the monster\'s mouth. In an instant, he would be swallowed.

Seeing this, Wu Huan\'s despair deepened. He knew the mouth\'s strength too well. It had devoured a volcano and the Soul-Falling Bell without hesitation. His body, no matter how strong, couldn\'t withstand such power. Once inside, he was doomed.

In his despair, a fierce resolve flashed across Wu Huan\'s face. His expression twisted as he shouted, "If I\'m going down, I\'m taking you with me!"

Wu Huan roared, his body swelling. In a flash, he transformed into a massive three-legged golden crow, but the expansion didn\'t stop. He continued to grow larger.

"Self-detonation?" Zhong Shan\'s eyes narrowed.

"Boom!" Just as the explosion was about to occur, the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail engulfed the gigantic golden crow, swallowing it whole.

"Chomp!"
