The four-armed snow beast hammered its four arms against its chest and then quickly flew towards Chu Tian and the others' temporary camp.
With a size of over ten meters, it created a flurry of snow as it landed, showering many people with snowballs, but they were all talented martial artists and could withstand such damage to some extent.
"Protect me!" Muketuo, the only S-class talented martial artist among the thirty-plus people, took out a large broadaxe from his spatial bag. He then charged towards the four-armed snow beast, swinging his axe forcefully at it.
Chu Tian looked at the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in his hand and watched as Muketuo attacked the snow beast. Muketuo's massive axe created a powerful white light that struck the snow beast's head.
However, the snow beast had strong defense and attack capabilities, making it challenging for even many S-class talented martial artists to break through its defenses. The four-armed snow beast swung its fists, and its punches clashed with the axe strikes.
The collision of these two forces caused a tremor, and a snowslide ensued, creating an avalanche. The talented martial artists avoided the avalanche with their abilities.
Chu Tian floated in the sky, observing the battle between Muketuo and the four-armed snow beast. Both were strength-based talented martial artists, and their clashes sent shockwaves through the area, causing rocks to emerge from beneath the snow.
However, the four-armed snow beast had the advantage in absolute strength, thanks to its innate strength, strength-based talents, and the passive defense of its iron body, making it challenging for Muketuo to break through its defenses.
Although many martial artists harassed the snow beast, their attacks did not cause significant damage.
Chu Tian extended the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in his hand, which suddenly transformed into the Snowscale Sword. With a swift strike, the sword's power struck the snow beast's back.
A loud bang and a powerful force caught the snow beast off guard. It became even more frenzied, using its four arms to attack both Chu Tian and the supporting members.
"This four-armed snow beast is too powerful. Let's enter the Gate of Hell in advance," Muketuo, realizing he was outmatched, ordered the team members.
As the team members followed Armina and Sado to a depression about a hundred meters away, Chu Tian noticed a subtle ripple as they entered. Those with psychic perception lost their ability to sense.
Clearly, the Gate of Hell was an independent space within the Kunlun Snowfield.
Muketuo glanced at Chu Tian in the sky and shouted, "You should enter as well."
Chu Tian smiled and replied, "You go first. I have a way to escape."
Muketuo didn't hesitate and swung his broadaxe, creating dozens of phantom axes that struck the snow beast before he entered the Gate of Hell.
Seeing Muketuo disappear, Chu Tian's mouth curved into a smile. He held the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and descended to the ground, facing the four-armed snow beast that had withstood the axe strikes.
Seeing that Muketuo, who had been attacking him, had disappeared and was replaced by a B+ level talented martial artist not far away, the snow beast showed a hint of disdain.
"Roar!"
With a roar, the four-armed snow beast raised its four arms and hammered its chest a few times before leaping toward Chu Tian with the intent to kill him in a single strike.
However, Chu Tian was not an ordinary B+ level talented martial artist. He turned the Snowscale Sword back into the Ruyi Golden Cudgel.
In an instant, the cudgel transformed into six sword techniques. Countless white light spheres flew out from the rapidly spinning Tai Chi totem, heading towards the snow beast.
The snow beast sensed the danger but could only block the incoming white light spheres with dozens of punches.
Chu Tian realized that the six sword techniques had their limitations, and the current level of his release was too weak.
He retrieved the Snowscale Sword and summoned 108 Thunderbolt Swords, which flew out with electric sparks, attacking the snow beast.
The snow beast, relying on its defense and formidable attack power, knocked all 108 Thunderbolt Swords away, landing them in the surrounding snow.
Seeing this, Chu Tian understood that the six sword techniques were not all-powerful, and his current level of release was insufficient. He withdrew the Thunderbolt Swords and, with a snap of his fingers, caused them to hover in mid-air.
Before the snow beast could react, the Thunderbolt Swords flew up and trapped it in a swirling Thunderstorm Sword formation.
With the Emperor's Overlord Spear in hand, Chu Tian faced the snow beast and said, "I just leveled up not long ago and made my way to Kunlun, but I haven't encountered an S-class beast yet. You can be my practice target and witness my recent progress."
Chu Tian then thrust his spear towards the snow beast's abdomen.
The snow beast, sensing the strangeness of the formation and realizing that Chu Tian's spear was made from the body of some beast, grew greedy.
"Clang!"
A metallic clash rang out as the snow beast's fist collided with the Emperor's Overlord Spear. Chu Tian was pushed back nine steps before stopping, while the snow beast remained unyielding.
"Impressive," Chu Tian muttered. All his attacks were channeled through the sword, while the spear and cudgel relied on his own strength.
Seeing the snow beast's immense strength, Chu Tian once again raised the Emperor's Overlord Spear and engaged in several exchanges with the snow beast. After experiencing the limits of his strength, he retreated and disappeared into the Thunderstorm Sword formation.
Now, Chu Tian was ready to launch the formation to kill the four-armed snow beast.
