Chapter 573

The two ancient beasts that appeared charged toward the old tortoise in the sky.

As for the other old beasts, they charged towards Zi Chen and the rest. There was no need for them to reveal their true forms when dealing with a few humans that were not even comparable to the king beasts. Their clones were more than enough to kill them all.

Zi Chen and the rest were horrified. Facing the attack of several ancient beasts, it was impossible for them to escape.

"Screech."

Suddenly, a sharp and ear-piercing sound was heard. The Old Tortoise stretched its head out like a lightning snake from its shell. It opened its bloody mouth and bit towards one of the ancient beasts.

"Pfft."

Fresh blood splattered all over the place. The attack was as fast as lightning, and it bit through the neck of the ancient beast. After the attack, the old tortoise retreated back at lightning speed. Above the vault of heaven, the old antique's eyes widened in shock.

Then, its eyes lost their focus. Its giant body slammed into the ground, creating a thunderous boom and kicking up a cloud of dust.

The Old Tortoise killed an ancient beast with just one attack. It did not even have the chance to wail before the ancient beast was killed. Everything was so simple, direct, and violent.

The world suddenly became extremely quiet. Be it humans or ancient beasts, they all held their breaths. This was just too frightening. A single strike was enough to wipe out the enemy, moreover, it was an existence at the level of an ancient being.

Those old beasts that were charging towards Zi Chen were all stunned. They stood in the sky and looked at the Old Tortoise with shock.

"Old Tortoise, you …"

In front of them, another huge ancient beast was also looking at the Old Tortoise in shock. It had the strongest feeling just now. The Old Tortoise's powerful attack had instantly pierced through the neck of its companion. It had shattered the opponent's super strong defense and extinguished its life force.

This attack could be said to be fast and powerful.

"Screech."

Amidst the shock, the Old Tortoise opened its mouth and let out an ear-piercing shriek. This was a sound wave attack that had materialized energy that could pierce through stone and gold. It instantly rushed towards the group of shocked old beasts.

Wherever the sound wave passed, it dissipated like smoke and clouds. All the old antique level existences actually dissipated under the sound wave.

For a moment, only the ancient beast was left.

Two attacks had killed an ancient beast and the clones of the other ancient beasts. Zi Chen and the others were deeply shocked by such a powerful battle prowess.

They had never imagined that the old man, whose clone was not that strong, would have such a terrifying true body.

"This is too strong and domineering."

The shock in everyone's hearts did not dissipate for a long time.

"Old Turtle, you've completely infuriated us. We want you dead."

Furious roars were heard in the void. Then, the ancient beasts that had lost their clones all revealed their true bodies in the void.

The void trembled continuously as the silhouettes of gigantic ancient beasts appeared one after another. They filled up the entire sky and emitted a tyrannical aura.

The group of old antiques was about to unleash their might. Seeing that the situation was not good, the ancient beast king had already fled far away. As for Zi Chen and the others, they had also fled into the depths of the forest while the old tortoise had bought them some time.

"Die!"

As soon as they revealed their true bodies, the group of ancient beasts immediately launched their strongest attacks against Zhang Xuan.

"Boom!"

In the sky, violent energy began to surge. The entire void trembled and distorted as the power of the void began to wreak havoc.

The power of the void was very destructive. Fortunately, the ancient beast kings had fled. Otherwise, even if they were touched by the power of the void, they would be crushed into pieces by the power of the void. Their ending would not be much better than being devoured by the giant egg.

The battle between the ancient beasts was full of power. The void trembled as the destructive energy filled the entire sky. No one could see who was winning or losing on the battlefield. They could only see the blood of the ancient beasts falling from the sky.

At their level, every drop of blood contained an inexplicable power. It would not dissipate when it fell to the ground, emitting a fierce aura.

"Old Turtle, it's useless. You can't stop us."

The cold voice continued to be heard from the battlefield. Zi Chen and the others were shocked and angry, but there was nothing they could do. They could not interfere in such a high-level battle.

When the first wave of battle ended, the entire sky was raining blood. Old Turtle's lonely and tall figure stood between the heavens and the earth.

There were wounds all over its turtle shell. Fresh blood was flowing out from its claws and neck. It was severely injured, but it still used its body to stop the ancient beasts.

"Boom!"

The energy that had just recovered between the heavens and the earth surged again. The second wave of battle had begun.

It was one against seven, and all of them were ancient beasts. Old Turtle had almost no chance of winning. It was only a matter of time before it was defeated. However, it still charged at the opponents without hesitation.

"No, if this continues, everyone will die."

Seeing Old Turtle disappear again, everyone was anxious. Suddenly, Zi Chen's gaze fell on the battlefield in front of them. He saw the body of the ancient beast that had died.

Without the energy supply, the giant egg had stopped devouring. Obviously, it was still far from hatching. An ancient beast at the level of an ancient beast had a huge amount of essence in its body. It might be able to hatch the giant egg.

However, the battle in front of them was too terrifying. Even the king-level ancient beasts did not dare to go forward, let alone the few of them.

Zi Chen's eyes flashed. He was thinking of a way. Obviously, the idea of going through the sky was not realistic. The only feasible way was to burrow underground.

"Burrow underground."

Zi Chen's gaze fell on the Spirit Devouring Rat. The Spirit Devouring Rat was the best at burrowing underground.

After that, Zi Chen communicated with it through spiritual thoughts. "You have to take the giant egg and sneak under the ancient beast. Let the giant egg swallow the ancient beast and hatch it."

The Spirit Devouring Rat did not refuse. However, it was still worried. It asked telepathically, "Will it swallow me before the ancient beast?"

"That's impossible. This kind of devouring technique can be controlled," Zi Chen said. He had asked the giant egg this question before, and it had given him an affirmative answer.

"Alright, I'll go now." Time was of the essence. The Spirit Devouring Rat did not hesitate and directly nodded.

The group of ancient beasts were still fighting. The energy in the world was constantly surging, and the rain of blood was even thicker. At this moment, everyone's attention was on the battlefield. No one was paying attention to the giant egg.

No one saw the Spirit Devouring Rat carrying the giant egg and burrowing into the ground, approaching the battlefield.

Along the way, it was very careful. Moreover, the giant egg had already restrained its pressure, so it was even harder to detect.

"All of you retreat first. I'll stay here and guard." Zi Chen looked at the chaotic battlefield and said to the others.

This was also to confuse the ancient beasts, making them think that the giant egg had escaped with the humans. Thus, they all turned into streaks of light and flew away. Only Zi Chen stayed behind.

"Senior, you have to hold on. The giant egg will hatch soon." Zi Chen prayed in his heart as he looked at the battlefield that was raining blood.

"Peng."

The sky trembled, and the entire void trembled. A huge figure flew out of the chaotic battlefield and smashed into the ground, causing a loud bang.

The ground shook several times, and a huge pit was smashed open. Endless smoke and dust splashed up. It was the figure of the old tortoise. It fought one against seven for a long time, but in the end, it was no match for them. Its injuries worsened, and it was shot down from the sky.

However, it was not dead yet.

One had to know that these were not ordinary ancient beasts. They were all descendants of pure-blooded ancient beasts. They had lived for countless years, and their combat strength was extraordinary. It was already a miracle that the old tortoise could fight one against seven and hold on for so long.

"Swoosh."

As soon as it landed, the old tortoise rushed into the sky again without caring about its injuries. This time, it used all its strength to make a final attack.

"Screech."

As it shrieked, it attacked like lightning once again. Its huge mouth bit down on another ancient beast's neck. As blood splattered, another ancient beast died.

The second ancient beast was killed.

But this time, the old tortoise also paid a huge price. There were no less than ten wounds on its neck and head. One of them even penetrated its neck, almost decapitating it.

After it landed, it tried several times but could not stand up. Its aura also became weak.

In the distance, Zi Chen's eyes turned red when he saw this scene.

"Old tortoise, is it worth it for the sake of humans?" A cold voice sounded. An ancient beast landed in front of the old tortoise.

The old tortoise slowly raised its head. Its weak voice was filled with determination. "I'm not doing this for the sake of humans. I'm doing this for the sake of the true blood ancient beasts."

"For the sake of the true blood ancient beasts? What a joke." The cold voice sounded again.

"Old tortoise, you should be proud of yourself for killing two of the same level." Another ancient beast landed. Its cold eyes were filled with killing intent.

The old tortoise was already very weak. It did not speak. The winner was the king, and the loser was the bandit. Moreover, it did not have any room to fight back. It could only wait for death.

"Old tortoise, this is the consequence of meddling in other people's business. I'll send you on your way now." The third ancient beast landed. It was even more direct and wanted to kill it.

"Wait!"

Zi Chen shouted. The ancient beast that was about to kill the old tortoise stopped subconsciously.

"Don't you want the egg of the true blood ancient beast? As long as you let it go, I can give it to you immediately." Zi Chen walked over from afar.

"We can get it even if we kill him." The ancient beast from before said coldly.

"I'm the one who awakened the true blood ancient beast. Our minds are connected. If you kill him, the egg will explode instantly." Zi Chen threatened.

"If you kill me, the egg will explode too."

Just as Zi Chen finished speaking, a figure appeared in front of him. This figure was originally going to slap him to death, but after hearing what he said, it changed from slapping to grabbing. It directly grabbed Zi Chen and flew towards him.

This was the clone of an ancient beast. He threw Zi Chen in front of the old tortoise.

"Senior! Senior! How are you? I have a treasure pill here." Zi Chen hurried forward and took out the treasure pill.

The old tortoise shook its head. There was a gentle smile in its eyes. "This is something that belongs to you humans. It's useless to me."

The old tortoise's voice was weak and powerless.
