The beast spoke in human language, startling everyone. Although these beasts were terrifying, they were nothing more than corpses driven by heavenly tribulations.
But now, that ancient beast seemed to have been given life, its ferocity shaking the heavens, filled with endless resentment, charging at Long Chen as if it were seeing the enemy who killed his father.
"Borrowing a corpse to bring a soul back to life?"
Long Chen was shocked. On the head of the ancient demon beast, a human-shaped phantom appeared, seemingly a person's primordial spirit. It was staring at him with resentful energy soaring to heaven and earth. Judging by the person's aura, it must be a powerful Supreme Prodigy.
The corpse of the ancient demon beast fused with his soul, and the runes on the bones lit up, carrying a world-destroying aura as they charged at Long Chen.
At that moment, everyone else was stunned. This phenomenon had never been recorded even in historical records—it was too bizarre.
It was a bull-shaped creature, its four hooves flying, its horns glowing like a meteor streaking across the sky, instantly appearing before Long Chen.
Long Chen saw the bull-shaped creature charging forward, veins bulging on his arms, as if crawling with little snakes, absorbing so much strange blood essence power. His strength was surging wildly as the Minghong Blade slashed down.
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion shook the entire world.
"Crack!"
The bull-shaped creature's horns, hundreds of miles long, were shattered by Long Chen's blade, knocking the giant being down in midair.
"Such powerful power."
Long Chen was shocked; he hadn't expected his power to have surged to this extent.
"The True Dragon lineage's devouring heaven and earth divine power is beyond your imagination. After fusing so much demon beast blood, although it contaminates dragon blood, it can increase your strength more than tenfold in a short time. The Dragon Blood expert said proudly.
"Boom!"
Just as Long Chen was about to reply, a thunderous explosion suddenly erupted. Terrifying power swept through, and Long Chen was sent flying. The bull-shaped creature actually self-destructed with a loud crash.
Disappearing along with the bull-shaped creature was the soul of that supreme-level prodigy. Under the power of the heavenly tribulation, he fused with the ancient beast and could control the skeleton.
He knew he was already dead. The tribulation had given him a chance for revenge. Seeing he couldn't kill Long Chen, he directly self-destructed, intending to inflict even greater harm on him.
"Rumble rumble...
At that moment, one ancient demon beast after another was endowed with souls. Their auras changed, they gained consciousness. As soon as they gained consciousness, they roared and charged at Long Chen.
"They're just a bunch of undead. I, Long Chen, have nothing to fear."
Long Chen held his long blade, feeling the boundless power within him, his fighting spirit soaring.
"Boom boom boom... The
Minghong Blade whistled, shattering the heavens with a single strike. One after another, ancient demon beasts were cut down by Long Chen, and some were even slain by a single blow.
At this moment, Long Chen's body began to swell, his arms and legs twice as thick as usual. With every wave and movement, his blood and energy surged, as if he had endless strength.
Especially after killing those demon beasts, Long Chen absorbed even more essence blood, his body continuously strengthening. The violent vitality made Long Chen feel somewhat uncomfortable, but the immense power gave him a sense of ruling over myriad paths.
Long Chen grew more and more courageous in battle, his blood surging to the sky, letting the ancient beasts charge at him, one by one, unstoppable.
Long Chen absorbed essence blood, Lei Ling'er absorbed thunder, and Huo Ling'er absorbed the flame runes from heaven and earth—all desperately trying to improve.
"Rumble...
Suddenly, the void split open, a pair of wings stretching open the sky. Countless ancient demon beasts were blasted away by those wings, some shattering with a thunderous roar, transforming into countless thunder runes.
"Kuntu!"
The crowd cried out in alarm. Suddenly, Kuntu erupted, his wings like blades, wildly slaughtering those ancient demon beasts.
"Boom!"
Kuntu's sharp claws stretched out, tearing a primordial demon beast apart with brute force. As soon as Kuntu made his move, everyone was shocked. Slaying such terrifying primordial beasts seemed effortless.
Kuntu made his move, killing large groups of ancient demon beasts. Even those possessed by Supreme-level prodigies were slaughtered together. Their killing speed was even faster than Long Chen's, yet he refused to attack Long Chen.
When Kuntu made his move, everyone was stunned by his terrifying power, but soon, someone reacted.
"Boom!"
The first to strike was the beast cultivator. With a furious roar, he revealed a strange phenomenon. Within the vision, countless fierce beasts roared, wings sprouted from their backs, hands turned into sharp claws, horns grew from their heads, and fangs bared from their mouths. Most terrifyingly, a spiked tail sprouted from behind their rear sides.
At the same time, some areas of his body grew hair, some places grew scales, and some places sprouted strange bone spikes. After transforming, he became an unknown being.
He let out a furious roar, his voice like a tiger or lion, a violent sound wave sweeping across the sky. His wings trembled behind him, like lightning rushing toward an ancient demon beast.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, his mouth opened wide, and a red light pierced through the ancient beast's head like a sharp sword. The beast was annihilated in one strike, turning into a sky full of runes.
The beast cultivator shuddered all over. He absorbed all the runes on the ancient demon beasts—whether blood essence runes, thunder runes, or inheritance runes.
As soon as the beast cultivator made his move, everyone immediately understood—they were about to seize the ancient demon beast.
Although ancient demon beasts are terrifying, they are full of treasures. Killing them can quickly improve oneself. Although the ancient beasts seem endless now, claimed to be a billion, if this continues, if they don't actively seize them, they will eventually be snatched away by Long Chen, Kuntu, and others.
Such a heavenly tribulation had never appeared in history. Its benefits were terrifying enough to imagine even with a mindset. As long as they survived the tribulation today, they would surely shine brightly in this world in the future. This was the only chance to change their fate, and it was absolutely not to be missed.
After the beast cultivator made his move, the Ghost-Eyed Giant also struck. Black energy swirled around him, runes flowing around his warhammer, and his body swelled a full circle. He smashed his warhammer fiercely, and in the blink of an eye, he killed three ancient demon beasts.
Seeing that Kuntu and the others no longer hid their strength, other experts also erupted. For a moment, everyone roared in fury, slaying ancient beasts with all their might and frantically absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.
Just as they had expected, the more ancient beings they killed, the more energy they absorbed, and the stronger they became. Whether it was the beast clan or other clans' powerhouses, everyone fell into madness.
"Puff puff puff...
A thunder sword appeared silently, like a ghostly shadow. Primordial demon beasts were mysteriously slain, thunder runes devoured, but no one saw the figure of that person.
"Get out of the way! I'm going to kill Long Chen, don't force me ..." A demon beast's soul attached to the ancient beast and charged at Long Chen.
"Pfft."
But just as he flew out, he was slain by a supreme-level prodigy of his own clan.
"Bastard, killing your own people? Don't blame me for that." A possessed ancient demon beast roared and charged at another powerful demon beast clan, throwing the scene into chaos.
