I Become Sect master In Another World-Chapter 145: Shaurya Vs Chimera - The battle shakes the valley

Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Shaurya Vs Chimera - The battle shakes the valley

The chimera lunged.

Three heads, three roars, three overlapping killing intents.

The serpent head spat black venom.

The wolf head howled, shaking the air.

The lion head opened its jaws wide, gathering a dark-red blast deep in its throat.

All three converged on the tri-sect barrier.

Elder Wan’s dome shuddered—

CRRRRACK—!!

A sharp fracture suddenly split across the golden barrier, like a spiderweb breaking open.

Disciples flinched.

Lin Shu’s fingers tightened around the hilt of her sword.

Shaurya moved.

He didn’t shout. He didn’t chant.

He just lifted his hand.

Golden aura twisted lazily around his palm. A spiral of light, soft at first, then dense—like a small star kneading itself awake.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

"Stand down."

He thrust his palm forward.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

A massive golden spiritual palm erupted from his hand—tens of meters wide, heavy and bright, like a divine imprint slapping reality itself.

It smashed straight into the chimera’s three snarling faces.

The impact thundered through the entire valley.

A violent shockwave exploded outward. The ground ripped in lines. Loose stones rattled. Nearby beasts were thrown aside like ragged leaves in a storm.

The chimera slid backward, claws digging trenches into the stone to stop itself.

Elder Wan gasped as the pressure vanished from the barrier.

"Now!"

He slammed both palms flat, spiritual energy surging down through his arms.

The cracks along the dome shone gold—

Then sealed.

KRRRSHHH—

The barrier stabilized.

Inside it, disciples exhaled as one.

Outside it—

The chimera shook its heads.

Venom dripped. Blood seeped from its nostrils. All three pairs of eyes locked onto one source:

Shaurya.

He stepped forward through a small opening Elder Wan opened in the dome, the barrier parting just enough to let him pass before closing behind him again.

Lin Shu’s hand shot out and caught lightly at his coat for a second.

"Shaurya..."

He glanced back, smiled.

"I’ll be right here."

Lorgann, in his palm-sized form on Shaurya’s shoulder, narrowed his molten eyes at the chimera.

"How dare this beast roar in front of my contractor."

Shaurya smirked.

"Then let’s make it shut up."

He stepped onto the broken ground of the valley.

No floating rocks.

No platforms to leap between.

Just raw, cracked stone underfoot.

A pure battlefield.

The chimera lowered its body, muscles bunching under obsidian plates. Its claws pressed into the ground, horns angling forward. All three heads bared fangs in savage unison.

For a heartbeat, they simply stared at one another.

Shaurya—

hands loose, shoulders relaxed, golden aura faintly glowing under his skin.

The chimera—

a mountain of flesh and rage, nascent soul peak demonic beast, breathing like a storm.

Shaurya rolled his neck until it popped.

"Come on, then."

The chimera moved first.

The serpent head darted forward with impossible speed, spraying a wide cone of black venom.

The venom hit stone nearby—

SSSSSSSS—

It melted away in an instant.

Shaurya flicked his foot, body sliding sideways in a smooth arc, narrowly escaping the spray. Venom splattered the ground where he’d just stood, carving a smoking crater.

"A little too close," he muttered.

The wolf head howled—a sphere of compressed sound blasted outward.

Shaurya’s pupils shrank.

He stomped down.

BA-DUM!!

Golden aura exploded from his legs, propelling him forward low to the ground. The sonic blast howled just above his previous position, tearing a long groove in the cliffside behind him.

He appeared right under the wolf head’s chin.

His fist drew back.

Golden light curled around his knuckles.

"Stay down."

BAM!!!

His uppercut drove the wolf head straight upward. Its jaw jerked violently; teeth clacked shut with a crack.

The lion head roared and swung a massive claw toward him.

Shaurya twisted his waist, planting one palm on the floor for support, and spun under the incoming claw. The talons scraped his hair—

Then slammed into empty ground.

THOOM—!!

Stone shattered under the chimera’s own strike.

Shaurya used the momentum of his spin to launch both feet into the beast’s side.

THUD!!

The chimera stumbled sideways, claws scrambling to regain balance.

Inside the barrier, Sanatan Flame Sect disciples pressed closer to the dome.

"He’s—"

"Master is—"

"—just bullying it!"

Meng Liyu of Howling Abyss Sect folded his arms, eyes narrowing with interest.

"He hasn’t even drawn his sword."

Zia Bailey watched quietly, lips curving faintly.

"His martial base is scary. That beast is stronger in realm, but it’s getting played with."

Lin Shu stayed silent, but her eyes didn’t blink once.

Battered, the chimera roared in anger.

All three heads lunged at once.

The serpent head struck low. The wolf head swept from the side. The lion head came down from above with biting jaws.

Shaurya exhaled.

His feet blurred—Aerial Steps flared under each step, but he stayed grounded, using just enough force to slide, pivot, and leap.

He spun sideways to dodge the serpent’s fangs.

He bent backward just enough for the wolf’s jaws to snap over his nose without touching.

The lion head descended—

Shaurya stomped forward.

BANG!

He met its jaw with his palm, forcing it slightly off-course.

The massive head slammed into the ground instead of his body.

BOOOOM!!

Dust erupted.

Before the lion could pull back, Shaurya latched onto its mane and used the force of its impact to launch himself up its neck.

He sprinted across the chimera’s spine.

The serpent and wolf heads whipped back, trying to twist and bite him, but he was already moving.

He jumped toward the central joint of its spine and unleashed a double-heel drop.

THUDDD!!

The chimera’s back bowed.

It screeched, muscles spasming.

Shaurya landed lightly in front of it as the chimera staggered backward, claws slipping on the cracked stone.

He flexed his fingers.

"Not terrible for a warm-up bag."

Lorgann snorted proudly.

"At least you’re not embarrassing me."

The chimera’s aura flared.

This time, its movements were sharper.

Less rage. More instinct.

It circled Shaurya slowly, three heads weaving.

Its serpent eyes watched his feet.

Its wolf eyes tracked his spine.

Its lion eyes glared at his hands.

Then—

The serpent head spat venom in narrow streams—more precise this time, not a spray.

Shaurya dodged left—

Venom sliced across his sleeve, burning through cloth.

He clicked his tongue.

The wolf head snapped at where he moved.

He ducked.

The lion head tried to crush him from above.

He responded instantly—

sliding one foot forward, channeling aura to his fists.

BAM—!!

He punched the lion’s lower jaw mid-descent, disrupting its timing.

The bite missed his head and snapped shut in front of his chest instead.

His body twisted.

He drove his elbow into the wolf’s snout, then used the recoil to spin and slam a hook into the serpent’s eye.

THUD! THUD! CRACK!

All three heads recoiled.

The chimera snarled, bleeding from its brow ridge and nostrils, rage boiling over.

The beast slammed both front claws into the ground.

The valley shook.

Black-red spiritual lines surged across its limbs, running up its body.

The serpent eyes glowed. The wolf’s fur bristled with dark wind. The lion’s fangs burned with corrupted fire.

Elder Feng Yu’s face tensed.

"It’s stacking its power."

Elder Liya murmured,

"It’s going to use a big one..."

An Ning, watching from his throne, rested his chin on his hand.

"Good. Show me what you can do under pressure... boy."

The chimera roared.

This time it didn’t rush blindly.

It strode forward with heavy, confident steps.

One head roared. Another gnashed its teeth. Another hissed.

Then it blitzed.

BOOOOM—!!

It became a black-red blur.

It appeared right in front of Shaurya—

faster than before, weight behind every move.

The wolf head slammed into him like a battering ram.

Shaurya crossed his forearms, golden aura flaring around them.

THUDDD!!

He was pushed back—

Boots sliding across the ground, leaving two deep tracks.

The serpent head struck for his side.

He twisted mid-slide, blocking with his elbow, aura reinforcing the bone.

The impact jarred his arm.

The lion head came down to crush him.

He stomped down, pushing off to the side—

the massive jaws smashing into the stone instead.

CRAAAAACK—!!

The ground crumbled, a chunk of the valley floor collapsing.

Shaurya landed on more stable stone, grinning.

"Now you’re serious."

The chimera whirled, claws lashing out.

He ducked.

Raised his arm.

Blocked.

Even with his superior technique, the beast’s raw power drove him backward again and again.

He took hits on his guard.

Let force travel through his stance.

He flowed with every impact, lessening the damage.

From the outside, it looked like a human brawling with a small mountain—and somehow staying on his feet.

Lin Shu’s heart hammered harder with every collision.

"Stop blocking with your body..." she muttered under her breath.

Shaurya heard it faintly.

He smiled.

"Fine, fine..."

The chimera charged again, three heads trying to encircle him from three angles.

This time, Shaurya didn’t purely defend.

He stepped into the attack.

The serpent head lunged for his shoulder—

He swayed a hair’s breadth to the side and hammered a fist into its open jaw.

BAM!!

Teeth broke. Venom splattered onto its own tongue.

The wolf head chopped down from the left.

He raised his forearm and deflected the angle slightly, then shot a straight punch right into its eye socket.

CRACK—!!

The wolf howled in pain.

The lion head attempted to bite him from behind.

Shaurya jumped, spun, planted his foot on its nose and used it as a stepping stone to vault over its head, landing on its mane.

He drove a flurry of punches straight down into the top of its skull.

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!!

The lion roared in agony, body thrashing, but Shaurya rode the motion, knees bent, balance perfect.

He finally pushed off, flipping backward, landing light as a feather several meters away while the chimera stumbled, all three heads hanging low.

Inside the barrier, the tri-sect disciples were speechless.

"He’s... beating it like a training dummy."

"How is this still the same realm...?"

Howling Abyss Sect disciples muttered:

"Monsters raising monsters..."

Moonlight Pavilion disciples looked shaken, but Zia Bailey’s eyes were bright.

Lin Shu exhaled slowly.

Her expression softened just a little.

This.

This was Shaurya.

Farther across the valley—

The beast tide still raged.

Wang Tian’s fist smashed into a tiger-type beast’s face.

BOOOOOM—!!

The creature’s skull flattened; its body flew into a cluster of other beasts, bowling them over like sandbags.

Luo Chen’s sword cut through three charging beasts in a single motion, each one falling in neatly sliced pieces.

Jade Kingdom’s shield wall glowed golden as they held firm against heavy impacts.

Crimson Mist Kingdom’s assassins slipped between the beasts like red shadows, blades flashing in and out of vital points.

Some weaker sects struggled, formations breaking under the relentless assault.

Others dominated, cutting beasts down in organized waves.

Wang Tian glanced toward Shaurya’s fight in the distance, a faint grin flickering across his lips.

"As expected of Master," he said quietly.

Luo Chen followed his gaze, snorted.

"If we don’t work hard, we’ll never even reach his back."

They bumped fists once—hard.

Then surged into the beast tide again.

Breathing ragged, fur singed, scales cracked, the chimera stumbled back a few steps.

Its eyes changed.

Something in it realized—

This human was not prey.

This human was death.

It threw its heads back.

Dark spiritual energy erupted from its core, swirling upward in spiraling black-red streams. The ground under it split further, cracks spiderwebbing outward.

Elder Wan’s eyes widened.

"It’s condensing everything into one core strike—!"

A dense ball of corrupted energy formed between its three mouths—

venom, flame, and sonic pressure fusing into a pulsating sphere.

The chimera’s body thinned as its power poured toward that one point.

When it roared this time—

Even distant beasts flinched.

The sphere swelled to the size of a house.

Lin Shu felt her throat go dry.

Elder Hua muttered,

"If that hits...!"

Elder Feng Yu’s face turned grim.

"We must be ready to reinforce the barrier—"

Shaurya simply rolled his shoulders.

Golden aura began to whirl slowly around his right arm.

No divine form.

No hand seals.

Just raw spiritual power channeled with terrifying control.

Light wrapped around his fist in thick coils, compressing tighter and tighter, until his hand looked like it had been dipped into sunfire.

He pulled his arm back.

The air hummed.

His breathing slowed again—

Inhale.

Exhale.

His muscles tightened down to the bone.

His spine straightened.

His eyes sharpened.

"Dragon Fist."

He spoke it softly.

But the words sank deep into the earth.

The chimera bellowed and launched its attack.

The massive combined orb tore across the valley, dragging dust and broken rock in its wake. It howled with discordant sound, burned with corrupted flame, reeked of venom and death.

Shaurya stepped in.

His foot broke through the already cracked stone, anchoring him.

He punched.

KAAAAAAAAAAAA—THOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

His golden dragon-shaped force crashed into the chimera’s sphere.

There was no delicate clash.

Just a violent, world-shaking collision.

For a moment, golden dragon and corrupted orb pushed against each other, neither giving way.

The valley shook.

Cracks in the cliffs widened.

Loose boulders tumbled.

Some weaker beasts simply exploded from the residue shock.

Then—

The golden dragon tore straight through the corrupted core.

The chimera’s ultimate attack shattered like thin glass.

Broken fragments of black-red light dispersed into the air and vanished.

The golden dragon, dimmed but still roaring, slammed straight into the chimera’s chest.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

A gigantic concussive impact exploded.

The chimera’s chest caved inward.

Its body lifted off the ground and flew backward, crashing into a jagged cliff wall.

Stone collapsed around it.

Everything shook.

Silence clapped over the valley for a breath.

The chimera slumped forward out of the broken rock.

Its three heads dangled limply.

Chest torn open.

Aura scattered.

Dead.

Shaurya lowered his arm slowly.

His knuckles were red, veins visible under his skin, golden aura fading gradually.

He flexed his fingers.

"Stubborn," he muttered.

The chimera twitched faintly.

One last, dying instinct.

Its front claw scraped weakly at the ground, trying to lift itself.

Shaurya sighed.

"Stay down."

He stepped toward it and, without any fancy buildup, punched the ground in front of it.

BA-DOOOOOOM!!

Golden shockwaves rippled out in a circle, slamming into the chimera’s body like a hammer.

Bones shattered.

Flesh ruptured.

The beast collapsed completely.

This time, it didn’t move again.

Inside the barrier, disciples exploded with cheers.

"That’s our Master!!"

"Dragon Fist blew straight through it—!!"

"A Nascent Soul Level 12 demonic beast, ended like that..."

Meng Liyu chuckled softly.

"Terrifying..."

Zia Bailey exhaled, the corners of her lips lifting.

Lin Shu’s shoulders dropped slightly in relief. She watched him with a quiet, burning gaze.

Lorgann puffed molten smoke proudly.

"Good. At least my chosen contractor isn’t a disgrace."

Shaurya flicked his small horn.

"Who chose who, again?"

Lorgann hissed.

"Hmph."

High above, on his floating throne—

Shadow Blade An Ning had stopped leaning.

He sat straight.

His eyes, sharp and ancient, scanned every tiny detail—from Shaurya’s footwork, to his breathing, to the way his aura flowed.

He saw it plainly.

This boy...

He’s not even using everything he has.

"He suppresses his realm aura... his foundation is too stable," An Ning murmured, amusement creeping into his voice.

"A cultivator who’s strong enough to play with a Nascent Soul peak beast like this... but still chooses to hold back..."

He smiled slowly.

"Interesting."

His hand, resting on the sword hilt beside him, curled just a little tighter.

The valley roared with the sounds of still-ongoing battle.

Beasts shrieked. Royals shouted. Elders commanded. Techniques flashed everywhere.

But there was a subtle shift in pressure—

A different kind of weight spreading across the valley.

Some cultivators turned their heads upward instinctively.

An Ning stood.

He rose in a smooth, unhurried motion from his throne.

The black platform under his feet vibrated faintly as if acknowledging its master’s will.

His long robes rippled like liquid shadow.

His hair flowed down his back.

His grey eyes locked onto one figure below.

Shaurya.

The young Sect Master tilted his head slightly, sensing the gaze.

He lifted his eyes.

Their gazes met.

For a moment, the sounds of battle blurred into the background.

An Ning’s lips curled.

"Boy," he said.

His voice rolled through the valley, cold yet edged with a strange excitement.

"You’re far more capable than the others."

A pause.

"Perhaps..."

"...you are qualified to be tested by me personally."

The entire valley went silent.

Lin Shu’s heart stopped for a second.

Elder Feng Yu’s grip tightened on his sword.

Elder Wan’s breathing hitched.

Wang Tian and Luo Chen paused mid-motion in the beast tide, eyes snapping toward the throne.

Shaurya wiped a speck of chimera blood off his cheek with his thumb.

A slow, fearless smile spread across his face.

"Shadow Blade An Ning, huh..." he murmured.

He rolled his shoulder once, golden aura faintly flickering under his skin.

"Then show me..."

His eyes sharpened.

"...how scary an ’ancient monster’ is supposed to be."

The pressure between them collided—

heavy, quiet, invisible.

The valley, packed with sects, royals and beasts...

suddenly felt very small.
