Chapter 522

The elder's words gave Zi Chen an urge to immediately enter the depths. Other than those secret areas, the elder also told him that there were supreme treasures in the depths.

Furthermore, there were many ancient beasts there. If he wanted to undergo another baptism, he would have to enter the depths and kill the little devil leopard and wolf cub. Once the passage was opened, the ancient beasts would gather there. Killing them would be relatively easy.

Of course, with so many ancient beast kings present, the danger level in the depths was several levels higher than the outside world.

In the past, none of the trial takers had dared to enter the depths of this region. And among those trial takers, there were also trial takers from the five overlords.

In the bedlam region, their inheritances were ancient, over ten thousand years old. They were considered overlords, and a single word from them could shake the entire bedlam region.

But in the Ancient Battlefield, they were only small powers that had come here ten times. Compared to those powers that had come here dozens of times, they were much weaker in terms of foundation and strength.

"Senior, since there are supreme treasures in the depths, why don't you come with us?" asked Zi Chen. He wanted to find a backer.

The elder shook his head, clearly saying that he wouldn't go. That disappointed Zi Chen.

The monk's baptism still hadn't ended, so Zi Chen naturally couldn't leave immediately. He still had to wait for a while.

But during this time, he didn't stay idle. The Spirit Devouring Rats had discovered that there were many ancient beasts in the surroundings that seemed to be spying on them.

Zi Chen was delighted to hear that. Just as he was about to doze off, someone had sent him a pillow. He was still a bit away from perfect control, but now a sparring partner had taken the initiative to come knocking on his door.

On that day, Zi Chen found a sparring partner and immediately began fighting.

The battle lasted for two hours. During that time, the ancient beast didn't have any chance to counterattack. It could only passively endure Zi Chen's attacks. It was like a living target, constantly testing the power of Zi Chen's attacks.

After two hours, the ancient beast died. But when it died, there was no fear in its eyes. Instead, there was a kind of relief.

As the sky darkened, Zi Chen returned. On the second day, he found another ancient beast and made his move.

Just like the day before, the ancient beast finally realized that death was a form of release after enduring hundreds and thousands of punches. Thus, it died with a sense of release.

The first battle only took two hours. As it was still early, Zi Chen found the second and third ancient beasts.

Three days later, Zi Chen had killed seven ancient beasts in total. On the fourth day, there were no longer any traces of ancient beasts in the surroundings.

Zi Chen felt that it was a pity that so many sparring partners were gone just like that.

Fortunately, at this moment, Tyrant had also successfully completed his baptism and transformed once again. His body flickered with golden light and Buddhist light illuminated the world. He had a benevolent countenance and looked like an eminent monk who had attained the Dao.

His battle prowess naturally became stronger, and he was about to fight with Zi Chen. His image as an eminent monk was instantly destroyed.

Zi Chen nodded. He was happy to find a sparring partner.

Hence, the two of them engaged in an intense battle beside the black pool. This battle lasted for a very long time and only ended when the monk's energy was depleted.

Zi Chen did not use the finger bone or the broken spear. He only used pure strength. The two of them fought to a draw.

Tyrant secretly exclaimed that Zi Chen was too monstrous. He simply had inhuman battle prowess. While he was admiring Zi Chen's strength, Tyrant seemed to have forgotten that he himself was also extraordinary to be able to fight to a draw with an inhuman existence.

For the next half a day, Tyrant took out his sword tooth and divided up the seven ancient beasts that Zi Chen had killed in the past few days. As they were about to head deeper, the greedy monk finally gave up on continuing his baptism.

A day later, the two of them bade farewell to the old man and headed deeper. The demonic ape lay in Zi Chen's arms and slept. The spirit devouring rat followed.

The group of four continued on their journey.

The ancient battlefield had been open for more than a month. Zi Chen had killed nearly twenty ancient beasts. He secretly exclaimed that there were many ancient beasts here, but many forces did not even manage to kill a single ancient beast.

Just as the Devouring Sky Wolf had said, ancient beasts were the strongest among those of the same level. They could completely slaughter humans. Many humans encountered powerful ancient beasts, but not only did they fail to kill them, they were also killed instead.

One should know that the auction price of a single entry token was millions of high-grade Primordial Stones. This caused some forces to only be able to purchase one token and send in five Zephyrs.

If these five Zephyrs encountered ancient beasts like Grey Rat or Black Rat, they would barely be able to kill them with their Elixir Weapons. If they encountered the Demonic Leopard or Wolf Cub, they would be slaughtered instead.

In this region, being able to kill a pure-blooded ancient beast's descendant was already an incredible feat.

However, in a certain corner of this region, an ancient beast comparable to Wolf Cub was trapped by humans.

It was a golden-furred lion. It was tall and abnormally majestic. Its fur was glowing. Although it was not a pure-blooded ancient beast's descendant, it was not much different from the Demonic Leopard Cub.

"Roar!"

The golden-furred lion's roar shook the heavens. A powerful aura surged around its body. With every movement, a burst of crazy energy was swept up.

It was already trapped by the formation. Above its head, formation flags emitted a destructive aura. Terrifying energy kept falling, hitting the golden lion below.

However, the golden lion's defense was very strong. This formation that could easily slaughter humans could not break through the golden lion's defense.

In the formation, other than the golden lion, there were also human figures flashing. They used strange footwork techniques to shuttle through the formation, avoiding the destructive energy. It was as if they were in a place where there was no one, and they took the opportunity to kill the golden lion.

"Clang!"

Light flashed, and the Elixir Weapons emitted a cold aura. However, when they hit the golden lion, they made a clanging sound. They could not even break through the golden lion's defense. Instead, the golden lion's attack could injure the humans.

"Zhang Haotian, this beast's defense is too strong. Attack its vital points."

Outside the formation, the young man controlling the formation transmitted his voice. Light flashed in his hands as he changed hand seals to control the formation flags.

In the sky, the formation flags were constantly changing, and powerful attacks were launched. However, most of the time, the young man was still maintaining the formation.

The golden lion's attack power was very strong. A casual attack could shake the formation. If they only attacked without defending, the formation would be broken by the golden lion.

In order to trap this big guy, they had worked hard for half a month. They had used all kinds of methods to trap it. Naturally, they would not let it escape so easily.

"Swoosh!"

A strange red light suddenly appeared from the side and went straight to the golden lion's eyes. It was a red blade, and it was very sharp. It directly pierced into the golden lion's eyes. The one holding the blade was actually a beautiful woman in red.

"Puff!"

The blade pierced through the golden lion's eyes. Blood splattered everywhere. The golden lion was in pain. It let out a roar that shook the heavens. It went completely crazy, and one of its claws slashed forward.

The woman who had just attacked drew her sharp blade and quickly dodged, wanting to avoid this attack. However, she was too slow, and the golden claw hit her, causing her to suffer a heavy blow. She coughed up a mouthful of blood as she was sent flying.

"Bastard!" Suddenly, a shout rang out again. Another green light flashed from the formation and rushed toward the golden lion.

"Wang Qiong, the golden lion has gone berserk.

Hurry back! "A shout came from outside the formation. However, it was clearly too late. The man called Wang Qiong had already flashed in front of the golden lion, and his pill weapon stabbed forward.

It was still the golden lion's eyes. The pill weapon stabbed in the same place. Then, Wang Qiong was sent flying by the berserk golden lion. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

"Bastard, watch how I, Wang Shan, kill you!"

Just as Wang Qiong was sent flying, another young man appeared in the formation. He held a pill weapon and attacked fiercely. At this moment, the void trembled. A cold light pierced into the golden lion's other eye.

This was a completely suicidal attack. He was determined to kill the golden lion. Unfortunately, he had overlooked the powerful vitality of ancient beasts. Even with both eyes pierced, he was still alive.

"Pu." Blood rained down from the sky. Wang Shan was also sent flying.

At the same time, the golden lion went berserk, and the entire formation started to tremble. The young man controlling the formation continuously coughed up blood, and he gave up on attacking. He controlled the formation flags to descend and surround the golden lion, and he started to surround it.

Then, another black light appeared and struck the golden lion's injured eye. It was the young man who had attacked first. His name was Zhang Haotian.

This was a bitter battle. Five human experts had joined forces to kill the golden lion, but they were still at a disadvantage.

The golden lion, whose eyes had been blinded, was in a completely berserk state. It repeatedly attacked the formation, and the formation, which had turned from attack to defense, was actually unable to withstand it.

Crack! Crack!

Under the Golden Lion's charge, cracks began to appear on the array flags that were inserted into the ground, and they were about to shatter.

"No, the formation is about to break!" shouted the young man.

"Kill!"

In the formation, the three men and the woman stood up again. They wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths and rushed toward the golden lion.

Every attack was aimed at the golden lion's vital points. Every attack was powerful. At this moment, the four of them were giving it their all.

Roar!

The golden lion roared and struggled. Its voice shook the sky as it continued to attack. The three men and the woman in the formation were injured again. It could be said that they had suffered more injuries.

As they persisted, the golden lion's roar became weaker and weaker. Its movements also became slower and slower. In the end, it fell with a bang.

A golden lion comparable to a pure-blooded ancient beast's descendant was killed by five humans. This was simply a miracle.

As for the five humans who had created this miracle, they had also paid a great price for it. All of them were heavily injured and had suffered fatal injuries.

"The previous battle caused too much of a commotion. It might attract other people or ancient beasts. We can't stay here for long. Let's leave quickly," said the young man named Wang Qiong.

Then, he supported his injured body and stood up. Beside him, the young man maintaining the formation also collected the cracked formation flags.

"We used up a lot of energy this time, but to be able to kill an ancient beast with a very pure bloodline, it was all worth it. As long as we find a place to recuperate for a few days, we will be able to kill another ancient beast," said the youth who had finished collecting the array flags.

"Pa." "Pa."
