To ensure absolute success, the Insulators' expedition into the mountains was personally led by Jin Huage. The main attack team consisted of Zhou Tianwu and Locke, two generals comparable to sixth-tier elementals, as well as newly selected and trained captains. The remaining members of the Martial Division were responsible for supporting the attack, healing, and other tasks.

As Jin Huage passed Zheng Jun's body, he couldn't help but mourn for a moment before resolutely leading his team deeper into the cave. After walking for a short while, the entire cave began to shake, and countless rocks fell from the cave ceiling, injuring many low-ranking members of the Martial Division. Jin Huage calmly ordered, "They've arrived. Activate the device."

The main assault team members dared not slacken their efforts, activating the elemental manipulation devices strapped to their waists and standing ready for battle. After the tremors subsided, a roar echoed from the depths of darkness, and a colossal creature slowly emerged from the shadows. The beast was about 10 meters tall, its body covered in stone shards that, upon closer inspection, resembled scales adhering to its entire body. It moved on all fours, each step causing a tremor in the ground. Curved horns protruded from its head, faintly emitting a black light, and its eyeballs were actually two round stones, suspended in their sockets. Three other stones, also emitting a black light, circled around it, slowly orbiting.

Jin Huago and the main attack team members all gasped in shock. Jin Huago even said in disbelief, "This is a guardian beast far surpassing S-rank, the Immovable Stone, an X-rank ferocious beast, the Earth-Suppressing Beast."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Martial Division not far behind all took several steps back, almost knocked down by the oppressive aura of this X-level ferocious beast. Zhou Tianwu withstood the pressure and asked, "Commander, what should we do?"

"I don't know how to deal with it either. If we want to obtain the Immovable Stone, we must first kill this ferocious beast." Jin Huage said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tianwu hesitated for a moment. This was an X-level ferocious beast; how could he and his few companions possibly handle it? But things had come to this point, and escape was probably too late. He immediately shouted, "Go!"

The seven newly appointed captains of the main attack team rushed forward, unleashing various elemental attacks at the earth-suppressing beast. However, all of these attacks were blocked by the three stones surrounding it. The group was about to continue when Jin Huage called out to them, "There's something fishy about the stones around it. Avoid the stones and attack its head first!"

Jin Huage didn't have much information about the Earth-Suppressing Beasts and could only rely on his experience. Except for a few ferocious beasts, the weaknesses of the rest of the beasts were basically in their heads. After saying that, he immediately used his device to condense fire elements and launched a fast fireball that hit the Earth-Suppressing Beast's head hard, causing a thick smoke to rise.

In the smoke, the Earth-Suppressing Beast shook its head, its two floating eyeballs moving before locking onto Jin Huage, who was attacking it. It opened its mouth, and a burst of black light condensed, followed by a laser-like attack that shot out. Jin Huage was prepared for the attack, but the black laser was too fast. Just as Jin Huage jumped away, the laser struck, blasting him away instantly. Fortunately, the Martial Division members behind him provided cover, preventing him from crashing to the ground.

Having witnessed the power and speed of the Earth-Suppressing Beast's attacks, the main attack team members dared not be careless anymore. Following Jin Huage's orders, they constantly changed positions to dodge the Earth-Suppressing Beast's attacks while simultaneously attacking its head. After a series of attacks, many stone scales were knocked off the Earth-Suppressing Beast's head, but this only further enraged it. It roared to the sky and opened its mouth again, and black light gathered once more.

Upon seeing the gathering black light, the main attack team members quickly distanced themselves. However, the next moment, the Earth-Suppressing Beast fired a laser at the ground. The laser, flashing with black light, disappeared as if absorbed by the earth after it entered the ground. Soon after, the entire ground began to shake, and countless stone spikes protruded from the ground. The area affected was so large that even the most distant members of the Martial Division were hit, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries. Many low-ranking members of the Martial Division clutched their wounds and wailed in pain. Scattered on the ground were many severed limbs.

Jin Huago struggled to dodge the stone spikes, inwardly marveling at the power and range of the Earth-Suppressing Beast's attacks. The beast's attacks seemed to have a slight delay; its lowered head remained down for a long time, and the surrounding stone spikes were slowly retreating into the ground. Jin Huago realized this was an opportunity and immediately ordered another attack. He, Zhou Tianwu, and Locke joined forces to gather elements. The three of them had collected fire elements in their elemental devices. As the fire elements accumulated and the incantation was recited, a massive fire element array formed beneath the Earth-Suppressing Beast.

"Blazing Flames!" As the three roared in unison, a violent pillar of fire erupted from the elemental array, shooting straight to the top of the cave. The pillar of fire completely enveloped the Earth-Suppressing Beast, the flames constantly assaulting its body. When the pillar of fire disappeared, the Earth-Suppressing Beast collapsed to the ground, its body emitting white smoke. However, before Jin Huage and the others could rejoice, it struggled to its feet again and angrily charged at them. The three quickly scattered, as the low-ranking members of the Martial Division had once again suffered the consequences.

The Earth-Suppressing Beast charged forward, crushing and killing more members of the Martial Division. After the charge, without any respite, the two horns on the Earth-Suppressing Beast's head began to accumulate earth elemental power again. Countless stone spikes shot out from the cave ceiling and stone walls. The sheer number and density of these spikes injured the entire main attacking team, and Jin Huage also lost an arm.

Fortunately, they were all elites. After the Earth-Suppressing Beast's attack ended, they launched a counterattack. Continuous elemental attacks hit the Earth-Suppressing Beast, forcing it to retreat repeatedly. After Jin Huage lost an arm, he did not retreat or ask for healing. Instead, he continued to activate the device to accumulate elemental power, as if this battle had rekindled his youthful passion. As the elemental power continued to accumulate, a flaming spear gradually took shape, and even the flames at the spearhead were more vibrant in color than the other flames.

"Go!" The flaming spear shot out at lightning speed along with the words, slamming hard into the head of the earth-suppressing beast. The power of this attack was not to be underestimated. A huge explosion resounded in the cave, forcing many members of the Martial Division to cover their ears. Smoke filled the cave, blinding people.

A rustling sound came from the smoke as countless stone scales fell from the Earth-Suppressing Beast. When the smoke cleared, to the main attacking team's despair, the Earth-Suppressing Beast was still standing. Its original stone eyeballs had turned into black beads. The stone scales on its body had not completely fallen off, and the places where the stone scales fell off were pitch black and shimmering with black light. Only the three stones surrounding it remained unchanged.

The earth-suppressing beast before them seemed to be completely enraged. It raised its head and roared, then raised its two front legs high and slammed them heavily to the ground. A wave of energy spread across the ground, followed by a second and a third wave. The waves lasted for a total of ten times. All the insulated individuals in the arena were knocked away, some fainted, some crashed into the stone wall, and some with insufficient strength were directly smashed into the stone wall, dying instantly.

All the main attacking team members were coughing up blood. Three of the seven captains had already died, and the remaining seven were in no better condition. As they helped each other to their feet, they saw that the earth-suppressing beast was about to launch its next attack.
