Understanding its cries, Jian Chou couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth, nearly unable to maintain the calm expression she had forced onto her face.

The Extreme Domain had no living beings.

Unless one cultivated a Golden Body, one wouldn’t look the same as ordinary people.

This applied to humans as well as beasts.

So, the moment she sensed this troublemaker was about to emerge, Jian Chou immediately made her judgment: she couldn’t let it out.

Letting it out would simply be asking for a faster death!

She dared to believe she had already attracted the Extreme Domain’s attention.

With so many people watching the cauldron competition, her use of the Void Demon Umbrella to kill Pan Hexun would inevitably cause a huge uproar. If anything else happened, heaven knows what would occur.

So…

The little marten couldn’t come out!

Having made up her mind, Jian Chou heard the continuous howling in her consciousness but simply pretended not to know, ignoring the abnormal movements in the spirit beast pouch. She reached out to press the Sinan Round Platform and control its movement.

But what kind of outstanding troublemaker was that little marten inside?

Usually when it had something to say, Jian Chou would immediately attend to it.

Now she was actually ignoring it?!

“Aowuuu!”

“Aowuuu!”

Are you planning to rebel, damn it?!

Let your marten grandfather out!

Jian Chou still ignored it.

With a “hum,” the spoon handle on the Sinan Round Platform had already emitted a new ray of light, then swiftly rose toward the sky.

Countless rats had now reached directly below the Kunwu All-Directions Battle Chariot, and quite a few had discovered this monster floating in mid-air.

“Squeak squeak squeak!”

Strange cries immediately swept across the entire grassland!

“Rumble rumble…”

The herd of bulls charging from behind continued rushing forward.

For a moment, chaos reigned below.

Zhang Tang and the others were already fully alert, the four of them standing at the four corners of the battle chariot, guarding against attacks that might come from any direction.

But just as they raised their defenses, an explosive sound rang out from the battle chariot!

“Bang!”

Everyone was immediately startled and looked back.

From within Jian Chou’s wide sleeves came a strange fluctuation that exploded outward. With a “rip,” fragments of the Mysterious Black spirit beast pouch scattered like fireworks!

They heard a “swoosh” by their ears as a gray shadow flashed like lightning!

Chen Tingyan instinctively threw out his fan to intercept it!

“What is that thing!”

“Don’t!”

Jian Chou watched in horror, reaching out to stop him.

But who would have thought that this gray shadow’s speed was truly outrageous. Jian Chou couldn’t stop it in time, and Chen Tingyan’s fan wasn’t even worth worrying about.

Because that fan didn’t even touch a single hair of the gray shadow!

In the blink of an eye, the gray shadow had shot out, passing through the Kunwu All-Directions Battle Chariot’s protective array without obstruction, hovering in mid-air and revealing its true form.

A small head, a foot-long body.

Slick gray fur, a pair of round, watery black eyes. At this moment, its two hind feet were firmly crouched, actually standing upright like a human. It opened its mouth wide toward Jian Chou, revealing sharp little teeth, raising its two front paws and waving them wildly in the air, loudly howling accusations at Jian Chou!

“Aowuu! Aowuuu!”

Liar!

Are you planning to rebel, damn it?!

This marten is coming out!

Jian Chou’s face instantly darkened.

Chen Tingyan was now dumbfounded, vaguely feeling something was wrong: “This thing…”

“Aowuuu!”

Who the hell do you think you are, you just tried to harm your marten grandfather!

The little marten turned its head and howled at Chen Tingyan, while showing angry and disdainful eyes.

Chen Tingyan immediately felt the little marten’s superiority.

In that instant, he felt like he’d been struck by lightning: A damn marten actually dares to look down on me?

Uh.

Wait!

Marten?

Chen Tingyan’s pupils suddenly contracted, staring intently at the marten ahead, his divine consciousness tensing to the extreme: “It, it actually…”

This looked exactly like a “living” marten!

The atmosphere instantly became strange.

Everyone wasn’t blind: at first seeing this thing emerge from Jian Chou’s sleeve, they didn’t think much of it, but looking carefully, this marten seemed to be accusing Jian Chou. How was it like a kept pet?

But…

This marten had a physical body!

What did this represent?

This represented that this marten had at least Golden Body cultivation!

What was Jian Chou’s cultivation level?

Soul Orb!

Just Soul Orb!

Who could still care about the terrifying beast tide below?

Gu Ling was stunned, the old woman was also somewhat dazed, Chen Tingyan’s scalp was already exploding, but Zhang Tang’s eyes flashed as he suddenly remembered the time in the Crimson Slaughter Small Realm…

At that time, he hadn’t died yet, much less entered the cultivation world.

After mysteriously entering the Crimson Slaughter Small Realm through the red disc, he had heard through the disc’s transmission the grievances between that Kunwu Gu Qingmei and that mysterious “senior”…

He had even ultimately had a brief encounter with Jian Chou.

Marten!

Wasn’t this that marten?

Not only had she originally come to the Extreme Domain in physical form, even the marten had come!

Zhang Tang’s eyelid twitched violently, already feeling like trouble had found him.

He looked at the marten for a long time, finally turning back to look at Jian Chou.

Jian Chou’s expression naturally wasn’t much better either, her whole face looking like the bottom of a pot: the little marten had actually torn apart the spirit beast pouch! It had run out on its own!

It was over…

She wanted nothing more than to slap it and immediately blow up this troublemaker’s head!

But…

She couldn’t show weakness.

She couldn’t reveal even half a flaw.

So many people were still watching the cauldron competition.

This was just an accident…

She had simply brought a Golden Body realm pet with her.

It was fine, it was fine.

Jian Chou forcibly suppressed the frantic feeling in her heart, inhaling, exhaling, inhaling, exhaling, finally managing to calm down.

The little marten hovering in mid-air, looking at Jian Chou now, couldn’t help but shrink its neck.

Its two chubby little paws that had been waving also slowly drooped down.

For some reason, it suddenly felt a bit timid.

Why did this cheap master’s gaze seem even more terrifying?

Oh my.

It had only been a while since they’d seen each other, how had she gotten stronger again?

At this rate, surpassing that old witch Luye wouldn’t even take three to five thousand years.

Hmm…

It was just tearing apart a spirit beast pouch, it should, should be nothing, right?

If it remembered correctly, the cheap master still had some family wealth.

The little marten’s round black eyes moved somewhat guiltily, then it raised its two little paws very quickly, accurately, and firmly, covering its own mouth!

In that instant, Jian Chou nearly had veins pop out on her forehead!

“Get over here right now!”

Still covering its mouth!

Did it think she didn’t know what was going on in that broken head of its?

It was even worried about her plundering its “private savings”!

Jian Chou was about to explode with anger. The shout that suddenly burst out was like thunder, leaving no room for the little marten.

The little marten let out an “aowu,” dejectedly flying over with a “swoosh,” landing on the battle chariot and crouching by Jian Chou’s feet. It extended its two little paws to hug her leg: “Aowuuu, wuwu, wuwu…”

The nearly whimpering cries carried an extremely fawning tone.

Under its two eyes, tears were streaming down.

Before Jian Chou could speak, Gu Ling beside her had already turned into starry eyes: “Oh my, it’s so cute! Sister Jian Chou, is it your pet? So amazing!”

“…”

Nothing to say.

Jian Chou acted as if she hadn’t heard Gu Ling’s almost intoxicated words, silently and very firmly prying off the little marten’s paws.

“If you have something to say, say it properly.”

Don’t get handsy.

“Aowuuu…” This marten just wanted to come help…

Who knew your spirit beast pouch was so flimsy.

Of course, the little marten didn’t actually voice this sentence. It just looked pitifully at Jian Chou, crying and even wagging its tail.

Seeing this, Chen Tingyan’s eyelid was already twitching, with an urge to close his eyes and sleep, then wake up to see if he was dreaming…

Only Zhang Tang remained relatively calm.

Jian Chou said nothing.

While calculating how to deal with the little marten, she was also paying attention to the surrounding situation. It seemed like the several Yama Kings of the Extreme Domain hadn’t come to interfere with the current situation.

That meant her identity hadn’t been exposed yet.

And the little marten’s existence was temporarily within their tolerance range.

That was manageable.

However, she absolutely couldn’t let the little marten off so easily.

This guy was simply pushing his luck!

She maintained her dark expression, about to properly lecture this guy, but just as she was about to speak, a huge sound wave rose from below the Kunwu All-Directions Battle Chariot!

“Moo—”

It was actually the deep lowing of cattle!

But this sound wasn’t from one bull, but from thousands upon thousands of bulls!

In the terrifying sound wave, there were also mixed “squeak squeak” sounds of rats!

“Rumble…”

The entire Kunwu All-Directions Battle Chariot seemed to be impacted, beginning to shake slightly.

Everyone’s expressions immediately changed as they turned to look down at the vast prairie. They saw that countless rats, despite running quickly, couldn’t avoid being chased by the cattle herd.

Dust rolled across the ground.

Thousands upon thousands of bulls, like a heavy flying carpet, suddenly pressed down on those countless rats!

Splat splat.

They could almost hear the sound of flesh and blood exploding!

Each bull had a yellow-brown body.

Their size was equivalent to ordinary cattle.

But their horns were different colors—some black, some white, some crimson red, and some glowing green. At a glance, they were colorful, as if representing something.

The massive beast tide all gathered beneath the battle chariot!

They jumped from one bull onto another, quickly piling up into a small mountain, actually trying to approach the battle chariot!

Jian Chou’s unspoken words were immediately blocked by this sudden change.

“Trouble!”

Here it comes!

She frowned, immediately unable to continue talking with the little marten. She struck the Sinan Round Platform with her palm!

“Rise!”

Thick, refined soul power flowed from Jian Chou’s palm into the Sinan Round Platform.

However…

The expected movement didn’t come!

Across the vast prairie, those overwhelming cattle horns all projected various colored lights that wove together, forming giant ropes!

Before they knew it, they had already hooked onto the Kunwu All-Directions Battle Chariot!

“How is this possible?”

Chen Tingyan was the first to curse, taking out his folding fan, ready to fight.

“This seventh level bull pit hell is too evil!”

The difficulty had simply multiplied!

Did they want people to live or not!

Jian Chou’s heart also tensed.

As the controller of the Kunwu All-Directions Battle Chariot, she could feel that the countless lights emitted from the bull horns had a strange binding force, carrying anger and resentment, as if they wanted to drag the Kunwu All-Directions Battle Chariot down and trample it to pieces!

Needless to say, these weren’t ordinary bulls.

If the first level of the Animal Realm was already this dangerous, and these were just ground bulls, the following levels were unimaginable!

Even Jian Chou cursed inwardly.

But her hand movements weren’t slow either, forming a hand seal.

Those thirty-six flying wheels immediately shot out together, wildly grinding downward!

Everyone was already familiar with this scene.

In the previous level of hell, she had used this very move to slaughter evil spirits!

But…

There were too many!

Really too many.

Even though the Kunwu All-Directions Battle Chariot had thirty-six flying wheels working together to slaughter, how many could they kill?

Everywhere they could see was now devoid of rats, only endless bulls that seemed to keep coming from somewhere far away!

Never mind thirty-six flying wheels—even three hundred sixty or three thousand six hundred might not be enough to kill them all!

“Aowuu…”

The little marten was still crouching there. Seeing everyone on high alert, it rolled its eyes with extreme understanding. It called out to Jian Chou twice, but Jian Chou was frowning deeply, seemingly not hearing.

In that instant, an excellent idea appeared in its clever little head!

“Aowuuu!”

The next moment, the little marten’s cry became extremely high-pitched and passionate, as if it had encountered something that made it extremely indignant.

This time, everyone finally noticed it.

Jian Chou also turned around, seeing its righteous indignation, feeling strange.

But before she could think more, the little marten had already rushed out righteously, “swooshing” once again, using its legs forcefully to leap onto the handrail at the edge of the Kunwu All-Directions Battle Chariot!

Too much!

Really too much!

I haven’t finished talking with my cheap master yet, and you bunch of lowly bulls dare to interrupt?!

At this moment, the little marten was extremely solemn and righteous!

The opportunity to perform had arrived!

It knew five pairs of eyes were watching it from behind, so without hesitation, it poked its little head outside the Kunwu All-Directions Battle Chariot—

“Aowawawawa ROAR—”

From the palm-sized little head, that opened mouth was a full seven or eight zhang tall from top to bottom, even exceeding the entire width and height of the Kunwu All-Directions Battle Chariot!

Sharp fangs seemed to transform into spears inserted in the gums!

A genuine bloody maw!

Yet its body was still only about a foot long!

What an amazing, yet horrifying scene!

Simply thousands of times more terrifying than the numerically horrifying cattle herd below!

Everyone was simply stunned!

Moreover, they instantly couldn’t hear any other sounds around them. The entire world contained only that terrifying roar! Like divine thunder descending from the heavens, carrying the momentum of rushing thunder and leaping flames.

The sound wave from its mouth transformed into an invisible tornado, violently smashing downward!

Below, countless bulls of different horn colors had already piled into a high mountain. But the moment this sound wave reached them, they scattered frantically like dust and rotten wood!

All the bulls burst with blood!

Countless bull horns broke in the little marten’s terrifying roar!

“Rumble!”

That was the sound of the tall bull mountain collapsing with the cattle’s screams!

It was an almost dominating suppressive aura!

The originally fierce cattle herd that had been attacking the Kunwu All-Directions Battle Chariot was like commoners encountering a tyrant, fleeing frantically!

The entire prairie shook!

When they came, they were like a sweeping tide; when they left, they were like a bursting flood!

One bull stepped on another, bellowing and screaming!

In just two or three breaths, the rope extended from the bull horns that had been binding the Kunwu All-Directions Battle Chariot had already shattered in heaven and earth.

On the ground directly below, not even half a living bull could be seen.

Only a river of blood from mutual trampling covered the ground!

Stunned…

All five people were stunned.

Everyone in the seventy-two cities of the Extreme Domain also couldn’t believe their eyes and senses…

Only the little marten, standing on that edge handrail, suddenly became extremely proud.

Its extended head retracted, and the entire bloody maw returned to normal, appearing extremely natural. In the blink of an eye, what everyone saw was again the seemingly fluffy, innocent, and harmless little marten.

Except for the remains of the cattle that had attacked the Kunwu All-Directions Battle Chariot, nothing seemed able to prove that everything before had happened…

Like an extremely exaggerated dream.

The little marten looked down, extremely satisfied. Its eyes moved craftily as it made “keke” sounds, similar to laughter.

Then it directly turned around, landing with a “swoosh,” its feet touching ground as it crouched in front of Jian Chou.

Under Jian Chou’s indescribable gaze, the little marten grinned, revealing a row of small, closed sharp teeth, snow-white and seemingly glowing.

This was actually a subtle and shy…

Smile.

What a demonic expression!

Seeing this, everyone felt their minds contained nothing else but this pure smile revealing a row of white fangs!

They could almost feel the deep meaning of this smile: See, aren’t I amazing?

Looking at it like this, Jian Chou thought it was so well-behaved it didn’t seem like that cunning old marten that played dumb to make money, as pure as a little lamb!

“Act!” Jian Chou gritted her teeth looking at it. “Keep acting! Do you think doing wrong can be remedied so easily? Do you think you can avoid responsibility this way?”

“Exactly!”

Chen Tingyan beside her suddenly clapped his hands, strongly agreeing with Jian Chou’s opinion.

He seemed to remember being disdained by the little marten earlier, righteously joining Jian Chou in scolding the little marten: “Absolutely not so easily remedied! Bullying a bunch of bulls, what kind of skill is that? Simply using strength to bully the weak! Too much, really too much! Once isn’t enough? You must do it several more times!”

This plot twist was completely unexpected!

In that instant, countless people inside and outside nearly fell flat on their faces from shock at his words!

Even Jian Chou almost stumbled, frightened by his sudden reversal.

For a moment, she really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Fine.

The situation was already such a mess anyway.

She had originally wanted to settle accounts with the little marten, but seeing that no one from the Extreme Domain was stopping her now was truly miraculous: could it be that the little marten’s existence was normal?

She couldn’t think about it more for now, only saying to everyone: “I apologize for making you laugh. This is a pet I encountered by chance. It hasn’t acknowledged a master, and I don’t know why it follows me around. This sudden appearance could be called causing trouble, but it also helped.”

With that, she looked toward the little marten and beckoned: “Come here.”

The little marten immediately knew this meant she forgave it for tearing apart the spirit beast pouch.

In that instant, it immediately cried out “aowu” happily, directly leaping onto Jian Chou’s shoulder. Its tail lightly draped around the back of Jian Chou’s neck with an air of “this is my throne.”

This feeling…

Was truly long-missed.

Jian Chou smiled.

She petted the little marten’s head, looking at the scattered beast tide below where not a single bull remained, then directly controlled the Kunwu All-Directions Battle Chariot to continue toward their established route.

The little marten crouched on her shoulder, quietly extracting the sleepy Dijiang Guyu from its mouth, pretending it had never stuffed it between its teeth, nonchalantly holding it in its arms again.

At that moment, Jian Chou glanced back at it.

The little marten immediately showed her that pure “smile.”

“Whoosh—”

The Kunwu All-Directions Battle Chariot roared past, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

In the seventy-two cities of the Extreme Domain, it was strangely quiet.

The ten great ghost clans and the eighteen-story ground building all clearly knew that when Jian Chou fought Pan Hexun, ninety percent of the entire Extreme Domain’s people had chosen to follow and observe Jian Chou.

The scene just now had also completely entered countless people’s eyes.

What it brought was only a nearly collapsing feeling…

A ghost cultivator from Fengdu City who had previously witnessed the “Heaven-Devouring Earth-Consuming Void Demon Umbrella,” “Six Meridian Spirit Dividing Mirror,” and “Four Symbols White Jade Crown” now had a completely numb expression.

“Even if you told me now that she could pull out the Book of Life and Death, or even produce a monkey, I wouldn’t be surprised…”

Talk about unfairness, back doors, even golden fingers!

Damn it, she herself was a back door!

Never mind golden fingers—she even had a golden thigh!

She could even produce pets with Golden Body cultivation or above. What couldn’t she produce? Even if she pulled out the Eight Yama Kings from her pocket, they wouldn’t be surprised!

Simply too bullying!

Countless people simply wanted to rush into the eighteen levels of hell, pin her down, and strangle her directly!

Of course, countless people also began considering this female cultivator’s background.

The Eight Yama Halls were among them.

At this moment in Lord Qin Guang’s hall, the atmosphere was strange to the extreme.

Several Yama Kings began doubting their own eyes for the first time.

Even Lord Du Shi Jiang Chang, who usually didn’t care about these matters, couldn’t help but slightly open his mouth, looking at the shadow crouched on Jian Chou’s shoulder in the light screen.

“This…”

On Lord Qin Guang’s usually dignified face, a trace of gravity finally appeared, along with a faint scalp-tingling feeling.

Though it looked completely different, that roar when it opened its mouth was really too similar!

Such a bloody maw, such an earth-shaking roar!

In all of Jiushijiu Zhou, even the entire Origin Star, they absolutely couldn’t find a second one!

For the Extreme Domain, that was a memory more terrifying and bloodier than Yashan!

Lord Qin Guang still couldn’t forget that it was because the Book of Life and Death recorded this marten’s name, taking away this marten’s soul, that the old witch with heaven-reaching cultivation had killed her way into the Extreme Domain a thousand years ago!

She had nearly slaughtered the entire Eight Directions City!

All for finding this marten!

Madness…

This cauldron competition was really going mad!

Lord Qin Guang’s eyelid twitched directly. That feeling of events gradually spiraling out of control was growing stronger and stronger. But he couldn’t withdraw his gaze…

“Myriad Seal Dharma Marten…”

Beyond the Five Elements, not belonging to the Six Paths, its name already removed from the Book of Life and Death!

That old witch Luye’s Myriad Seal Dharma Marten!
