Chapter 983

Entering the Myriad Beast Grotto

Swoosh!

Zhuowen suddenly fell from the sky, arriving above the pit in an instant. Afterward, he stepped on Sky Origin King's chest and looked down at him coldly. He said coldly, "You said before that you wanted me to know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Now that I've stepped on you, how are you going to show me how high the sky is and how deep the earth is?"

Sky Origin King only felt pain in his chest. He originally wanted to struggle to his feet, but now that Zhuowen had stepped on him, he fell heavily to the ground. He vomited another mouthful of blood as he howled out miserably. His eyes were filled with fear.

How was Zhuowen so terrifying? Although he was a peak Golden Exalt, he possessed the power to put up a fight against early Heavenly Exalts at the very least. However, he had been defeated and stepped on by Zhuowen.

Yuansheng, who was still healing, noticed everyone's expressions as well as the strange atmosphere in the surroundings. He frowned slightly. Yuansheng tilted his head slightly and looked down. Afterward, he saw something that he would never forget.

His second brother, Sky Origin King, was currently lying in the pit in an extremely miserable shape. A figure stood on Sky Origin King's body, as if he was the ruler of the world.

He was no stranger to the figure that stood on Sky Origin King. It was Zhuowen, who had severed his arms twice.

"This guy … actually defeated second brother," Yuansheng murmured to himself as his lips trembled.

Sky Origin King felt extremely humiliated. Zhuowen was just too impudent. After defeating him, Zhuowen actually stood on him and used words to humiliate him.

Although he really wanted to get up and resist, it was a pity that Zhuo Wen's right foot was firmly planted on his chest, causing him to be unable to get up. Instead, because of his struggle, Zhuo Wen's foot was even stronger, causing him to become even weaker.

"You said before that you wanted to teach me a lesson, acting all high and mighty. Why aren't you doing anything now?" Zhuowen stomped down once more as the coldness in his eyes became even denser.

"Enough!"

A chilling voice suddenly rang out. Then, a terrifying energy descended from the sky like a mountain, sweeping toward Zhuowen's back in an instant. It wanted to pierce through and shatter Zhuowen.

"Hmm?"

Zhuowen frowned slightly. The power coming from behind him was so terrifying that even he felt a little apprehensive. With a cold snort, the three pairs of lightning wings on Zhuowen's back suddenly spread open. He turned into an ethereal lightning and disappeared from where he stood in an instant.

At this moment, Zhuowen finally saw clearly that the terrifying force behind him was actually an enormous palm of essence energy that was several hundred meters in size. Zhuowen's speed was too fast, and this several hundred meter palm of essence energy struck nothing but air.

Then, the palm sucked toward the crater, and Yuan Kong, who was lying in the crater, was sucked into the palm. Then, Yuan Kong was brought into the palm.

Whoosh!

Dozens of meters away, a lightning flashed and revealed Zhuowen's figure. Then, Zhuowen raised his head and saw the owner of the palm of essence energy. It was the Alkaid Holy Dynasty's Crown Prince, Yuan Zhao.

Yuan Zhao waved his right hand and directed the palm of essence energy to place Yuan Kong, who was in a sorry state, beside the Alkaid Holy Dynasty's people. Then, he stomped his foot and flew in the air.

When he was dozens of meters away from Zhuowen, Yuan Zhao looked down at Zhuowen. There was a trace of gloomy Qi between his eyebrows as he said, "Yuansheng is my third brother, and Yuan Kong is my second brother. You cut off my third brother's arm and trampled on my second brother's dignity. Do you think I don't exist?"

"Yuan Zhao is going to flip out!"

Everyone stared fixedly at Yuan Zhao. It seemed like Zhuo Wen had gone too far. He was starting to anger the crown prince of the Yaoguang Holy Dynasty.

In everyone's mind, Yuan Zhao was undoubtedly the most mysterious of the three monstrous Celestial Masters. He was also the most powerful of them all. At least, his cultivation level was the highest among the three, reaching the middle stage of the Celestial Master realm. Moreover, with the background of the Brilliance Holy Dynasty, Yuan Zhao probably still had some hidden cards up his sleeve. He would have no problem fighting against a late-stage Celestial Master.

This was a true monster, a proud son of the heavens. Although he looked ordinary, if he was truly enraged, then he would reveal his sharpness and become unstoppable.

Therefore, after seeing Yuan Zhao's attack, everyone was looking forward to seeing how strong Yuan Zhao was.

As for Zhuo Wen, he was overlooked by everyone at this moment. Although Zhuo Wen's combat strength was terrifying and could rival a Heavenly Venerate, he was at most comparable to an early Heavenly Venerate. It was impossible for him to reach the middle Heavenly Venerate.

Yuan Zhao was at the middle Holy Master Realm. Needless to say, his combat strength had surpassed the middle Holy Master Realm. If Zhuowen really fought against Yuan Zhao, he would undoubtedly die.

The reason why everyone was looking forward to the battle was because they were looking forward to seeing how strong Yuan Zhao was. How strong would he be if he could kill Zhuowen in a few moves?

"It seems that Zhuowen is dead for sure. I wonder how many moves Yuan Zhao will use to kill him?"

In the Thousand Beasts Grotto, countless eyes were focused on Yuan Zhao. They were all looking forward to Yuan Zhao's attack.

Zhuowen slowly raised his head and met Yuan Zhao's cold gaze. He said indifferently, "I originally had no enmity with your Alkaid Holy Dynasty. However, your so-called Third Prince has been making things difficult for me."

"Originally, we could have just chosen a grotto peacefully. However, that trash Yuansheng insisted on snatching it from me. He even took the initiative to provoke me. I had already chopped off one of his arms, but he still came looking for a beating. Isn't this kind of person a masochist?"

"As for Yuan Kong, he wanted to teach me a lesson and let me know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. However, he didn't expect to be trampled under my feet. In the end, I taught him a lesson."

"I want to ask you, isn't this considered legitimate self-defense?

Why is it a provocation in your eyes? "

The corners of Zhuowen's mouth curled up as the ridicule in his eyes deepened.

Yuan Zhao's gaze was still indifferent as he said, "I only saw that you chopped off my Third Brother's arm and trampled on my Second Brother's dignity. You are provoking my Alkaid Holy Dynasty. This reason is enough for me to take action."

After saying that, Yuan Zhao's Qi became extremely terrifying. Countless streams of energy erupted like a volcano and formed a huge funnel-shaped spiral. The terrifying Qi began to revolve around Yuan Zhao's body.

Yuan Zhao's clothes and hair fluttered as he stood in the middle of the terrifying Qi. He looked like a God who had descended to the mortal world. His Qi was like a tiger and his Qi was like a dragon.

"As expected, he's a Mid-stage Heavenly Venerable. Yuan Zhao is so terrifying. His cultivation completely overshadowed Yun Zhongyang and Palm Palm."

An uproar continuously sounded when they sensed the terrifying aura from Yuan Zhao's body. Everyone's eyes were somewhat dazed as they stared at Yuan Zhao, who was surrounded by countless forces, while their faces twitched.

Yun Zhongyang and Palm Palm's expressions didn't look good. Although they had guessed that Yuan Zhao was hiding his cultivation, they were still a little depressed when their guess became reality.

If Yuan Zhao's cultivation was only at the Early-stage of the Heavenly Venerable Realm, the two of them might be able to compete with Yuan Zhao for the title of Newcomer King. Unfortunately, Yuan Zhao's cultivation was actually at the Middle-stage of the Heavenly Venerable Realm.

"Now, you have a chance. Kneel down and slap yourself 05 times to apologize to my Second Brother and Third Brother. If you do, I will spare your life and only cut off one of your arms," said Yuan Zhao indifferently.

Zhuowen raised his head and a terrifying Demonic Qi began to surge out of his body. Above Zhuowen's head, there were rolling demonic clouds. The powerful Demonic Qi almost covered the entire grotto.

Zhuowen's eyes gradually turned blood-red. His black hair began to turn blood-red. A monstrous Demonic Qi continued to roll out.

"What a powerful Demonic Qi. Is Zhuowen a Demonic Cultivator? How can his body emit such a terrifying Demonic Qi?"

Everyone's attention was originally on Yuan Zhao, but now they were attracted by the Demonic Qi in Zhuowen's body. They couldn't help but look over. When they saw Zhuowen's strange blood-red eyes and hair, they were all stunned.

This Zhuo Wen actually showed signs of turning into a devil. This kid was actually a devil cultivator?

Creak!

"It is indeed this bastard. The Demonic Cultivator in the Heavenly Venerable's grotto was Zhuowen."

Yun Zhongyang clenched his fists, making cracking sounds. His gaze was cold as he looked down at Zhuowen, who seemed to have become a Demonic Cultivator.

Yuan Zhao looked down in surprise at Zhuowen, who was emitting a monstrous Demonic Qi. Clearly, he didn't expect Zhuowen's body to contain such a terrifying Demonic Qi.

Just as Zhuowen and Yuan Zhao released their auras and a battle was about to break out, a dignified voice rang out.

"The third phase of the test will now begin. You can settle your grudges after the third phase of the test. Now, enter the Thousand Beast Grotto!"

The dignified voice came from the dean. He had long noticed that Yuan Zhao was a mid-Heavenly Venerable. However, he hadn't expected Zhuowen to possess such a powerful Demonic Qi.

Yuan Zhao's expression was a little sluggish. He turned his head and glanced at the dean. The terrifying aura around his body began to slowly recede as he said to Zhuo Wen in an indifferent manner, "Your luck is not bad. I will let you live for a while longer. After this test is over, perhaps you will become a skeleton."

"That may not be the case!"

Zhuo Wen also withdrew the Demonic Might from his body. His blood-red hair and blood-red eyes also began to slowly recede, returning to normal black hair and black eyes. His voice was filled with indifference.

Yuan Zhao ignored Zhuowen and returned to his grotto. On the other hand, Zhuowen came to Jia Nan and Gatha's side. They stood together in the southeast grotto, silently waiting for the grotto's door to open.

Due to the dean's intervention, the people from the Alkaid Sacred Dynasty didn't say much. However, Yuansheng and Yuan Kong's faces were extremely ugly. They had lost a lot of face this time.

The two brothers had been trampled on by a Supreme-Grade ant in front of so many people. Furthermore, they couldn't get back at him. One could imagine how depressed they were.

"Zhuowen's weapon is also a blood-red spear. Could it be a coincidence?"

In another corner of the grotto, Grand Lily's beautiful eyes fell on Zhuowen. Her eyes were filled with doubt because Zhuowen from the Qing Xuan Empire also used a spear.
