The gray sandstorm roared, with two enormous hurricanes towering thousands of feet in the air. Amidst the misty whirlwinds, the shadowy figures of two giant beasts could be faintly perceived. Despite the distance and their unclear outlines, one could still sense the hostility emanating from these beasts.

Beside these two beastly figures, three smaller silhouettes were casting various magic and martial arts techniques, bombarding the bodies of the beasts. Both sides were caught in a stalemate of battle.

"Three Star System-level powerhouses?" Lin Mo, hidden in the shadows of a massive boulder, narrowed his eyes and watched closely. It was clear that these three individuals were at the Star System Level Early Stage, and were being suppressed by the peculiar restraints of this gray space, which made them unable to overpower the beasts.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be entangled with these two Star System-level beasts. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Junior Sister, form the array!"

Among the three were two women and a man. The battle had persisted for quite some time, and if they couldn't eliminate the two beasts soon, their energy would eventually be exhausted, leading them to die here.

In this eerie space where not only power was suppressed, even absorbing primordial power for recovery had become extremely difficult. In contrast, the two beasts seemed to possess endless energy, constantly maintaining their state at peak condition.

Otherwise, in a two versus three situation like this, they would have defeated these two Star System Level Early-stage beasts long ago. "Alright, Senior Brother!" One of the women in green clothes nodded, retrieving a golden talisman from her hand. The talisman emitted a dazzling golden light, which, upon flying into the air, released glistening golden beams that formed a cage-like structure to trap the two beasts.

Then the young man and the other woman directly channeled their true yuan, releasing a pillar of primordial power from their palms, infusing it into the golden talisman. With the injection of both primordial powers, the golden beam's brilliance became more dazzling, causing

everyone to close their eyes. The two giant beasts trapped within the primordial power cage exhibited turbulent strength that relentlessly shook the cage. Yet, despite their efforts, they were unable to break the shackles of the true yuan cage, which only made the beasts even more ferocious, spreading menacing hostility.

"Senior Brother, the strength of these two beasts exceeds our expectations... If we merely trap them, our true yuan will eventually be drained." The woman controlling the golden talisman expressed a somber look. The others understood the gravity of the situation; this stalemate was continuously depleting their true yuan, and with replenishment lagging behind consumption, eventually, they'd be left at the mercy of the beasts.

The two beasts in the golden cage became even more aggressive, continuously ramming against the golden cage, causing it to tremble and emit rippling waves, seemingly ready to shatter the cage at any moment.

From the shadows of the giant rock, Lin Mo hesitated for a while before deciding to step out. He was unclear about the nature of this gray space, and encountering humans was an opportunity to inquire his questions.

Moreover, with the three individuals merely at the Star System Level Early Stage, even if they harbored ill intentions, Lin Mo possessed trump cards sufficient to defeat them.

With this thought, Lin Mo flew out directly towards the direction of the beasts and three individuals.

His emergence immediately caught the attention of the three cultivators, whose watchful eyes fell on him, soon revealing traces of delight.

"Senior Sister, someone is coming." The girl in purple clothes displayed a look of joy.

"But we don't know whether they are friend or foe." The green-clothed woman's vigilant look gradually retracted, with a trace of caution still deep in her clear eyes.

"It's better to be careful. If anything seems off, abandon the beasts and leave immediately," the young man pondered. At this point, Lin Mo drew closer, and he could clearly see the two beasts — creatures with four legs and a snake-like tail, covered densely with dark scales, each scale as large as a house. Their heads were adorned with numerous eyes, each eye emitting a fierce red glow that sent chills down one's spine with just a glance.

"Fellow cultivator, please lend us a hand, and we shall gratefully reward you afterwards," the young man amidst the storm hesitated but finally spoke.

The golden light on the talisman flickered under the assaults of the beasts, dimming slightly, signaling the golden cage's impending collapse, which would unleash a deadly rampage. Lin Mo did not speak, instead, he drew the Xuanyuan Sword. Then, a rush of robust and condensed true yuan infused into the sword, which hummed, emanating an icy chill. The blade was enveloped in thick frost, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop considerably.

"Go!"

With a low shout, the Xuanyuan Sword whirled into motion, emitting a resounding hum, before shooting forth like a mighty ice dragon, targeting the head of one beast inside the golden cage. Suppressed by the golden cage, the beast's power was limited, allowing the Xuanyuan Sword to pierce through its head, dragging a trail of red and white substance, reemerging at the opposite side of the beast's head, and the sword god's icy

spirit burst.

"Finish off these beasts." Seeing this, the young man's eyes shot out a biting cold glint, and then the golden cage vanished. The trio simultaneously launched martial arts and magic, bombarding the two beasts.

One beast, heavily wounded, struggled to find any fight left, while the other faced the trio's combined attacks, now a spent force.

Moments later, the two beasts' life aura dissipated, their huge bodies collapsing on the ground, kicking up a dust storm.

Observing the death of the beasts, the trio heaved a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, brother, for your timely rescue!" The young man smiled as he approached Lin Mo, offering a hearty salute with clasped fists.

"Just doing my part," Lin Mo nodded indifferently, then cast his gaze on the trio.

"I am Xue Chen, a disciple of the Hexagram Sect, and these are my junior sisters Jing Xiao and Le Qian." The young man glanced behind him, smiling. The green-clothed woman and the purple-clothed woman nodded slightly. Both women were extraordinarily beautiful, though due to cultivation, their bodies naturally absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, making any woman with decent cultivation exceptionally attractive.

The green-clothed woman named Jing Xiao displayed a cold demeanor. The purple-clothed Le Qian often wore a smile, each possessing distinct personalities.

"I'm Lin Tanyu, and I belong to no sect, merely adventuring on my own." Lin Mo offered a respectful gesture.

"Brother Lin Tanyu, if not for your intervention, the three of us would have struggled tremendously to slay these foul beasts," Xue Chen laughed. From what he gathered, the trio seemed not to harbor any hostility towards him, nor did they display any disdain over his cultivation realm being only 'Star Sea Level High', which somewhat warmed Lin Mo's regard for them.
