Chapter 1330: Chapter 1286: Terrifying Beast Mastery Power!

Beast Underworld!

Xiao Chen coldly repeated, it could be said that his ties with the Beast Underworld had been prolonged and filled with incessant slaughter; he had climbed to the peak step by step over the bones and blood of the warriors from the Royal Beast Race.

Now it looked truly like a deep connection!

Suddenly, Xiao Chen realized, the blood of the divine slaughter, perhaps the Royal Beast Race indeed possessed it.

In fact, among the Hundred Clans of Heaven, apart from the Saint Clan and God Clan, other powerful clans like the Giant Clan had divine blood handed down; the other races were also descendants of spiritual beings, just less renown.

"Are you saying there is a race within the Royal Beast Race that inherits the bloodline of slaughter?"

"Yes," Tiantai Xuan gently nodded her head, the blush on her face had not yet fully faded, the faint redness on her cheeks, together with her diffusing divinity, made her seem not the same as the celestial maiden diviner of the Royal Palace.

"Although the Royal Beast Race hasn’t produced an emperor, in the past few eras, they have indeed produced several emperors; in fact, the title of Emperor Sacred Beast is just a title, held only by each era’s strongest in the Royal Beast Race."

"Moreover, the Royal Beast Race is very special, although they have a long tradition, they have produced numerous emperors over these lengthy periods, and handed down several emperor clans, but the bloodline waxes and wanes, with true prowess residing in just a few major families, mostly these few Emperor Clans have produced the ruling emperors, and those families that produced emperors, most have declined over the long years!"

Xiao Chen didn’t interrupt Tiantai Xuan as she spoke. Although he was deeply entwined with the Royal Beast Race, he admitted he didn’t understand the Royal Beast Race as well as Tiantai Xuan, who came from such an ancient and powerful inheritance.

He wasn’t so arrogant as to think, just because he had slain several of the Royal Beast Race’s territory-guarding kings, that a race truly lacked strong power.

To have persisted until the present, one would think with their fingertips, the Royal Beast Race couldn’t be simple!

"Among these Emperor Clans of the Royal Beast Race, there is one that inherits the bloodline of the Divine Beast Xiezhi, a creature extremely brutal, and it’s more apt to call it a great evil than a divine beast. The last three eras’ ruling emperors have come from this bloodline family!"

"Besides the current generation inheriting the Kui Niu bloodline from the Kui Niu Emperor Clan, how strong are the other powerful Emperor Clans, including the Xiezhi Family?"

"According to records, for the past two eras, most of the emperors of the Royal Beast Race came from three major families. While there were other strong ones born, none held control of the Beast Underworld for long. Apart from the current Kui Niu Family, there is the Xiezhi Family, and the last one, the Fei Yi Family; the bloodlines flowing within these three families are extremely strong. Despite their rises and falls, they’ve firmly grasped the most powerful rights within the Royal Beast Race."

Upon saying this, Tiantai Xuan paused, then continued, "Although the Xiezhi bloodline ranks the last among these three Emperor Clans, that’s only in comparison with the other two. Over tens of thousands of years, though no emperor emerged and the bloodline seemed a bit declined, warriors capable of epic deeds in the world of the Heavenly Laws still exist, not excluding those from the Chaos World."

Those capable of epic deeds in the world of the Heavenly Laws are comparable to the Stage Eight Realm.

"The Xiezhi bloodline is extremely brutal and explosive, taking pleasure in slaughter; the more they kill, the stronger their battle power becomes. However, such a bloodline of slaughter comes with great concealed risks, once they lose control of the power of slaughter, it will completely backlash, which is why the Xiezhi Family has seemed somewhat declined compared to the other two Emperor Clans over these years."

Xiao Chen nodded in response, then spoke again, "So, what is the overall strength of the Royal Beast Race?"

"The overall strength of the Royal Beast Race is about mid-tier within the All Heavens and Myriads of Realms, but the Royal Beast Race’s emperors are definitely more than one; the title of Sacred Beast King is just the spokesperson for the entire Royal Beast Race, able to merge with the will of the Royal Beast Race."

Hearing Tiantai Xuan’s words, Xiao Chen fell into contemplation. It seemed his planned attack on the Beast Underworld needed further careful planning; this was no longer just a minor skirmish upon his initial entry into the Beast Underworld, where hidden powerful figures hadn’t made a move.

If he now appeared openly in the Beast Underworld, he would likely be bombarded from all sides.

Seeing Xiao Chen lost in thought, Tiantai Xuan’s beautiful eyes shifted, seemingly discerning his concerns, she spoke again, "Although the Royal Beast Race is powerful, there are ways to obtain the Xiezhi bloodline."

After a discussion, Xiao Chen understood what Tiantai Xuan meant. The territory of the Royal Beast Race’s Xiezhi Family is deep in the southwestern territory of the Royal Beast Race, and the Fei Yi Family is in the south of the Royal Beast Race while the currently most powerful Kui Niu Family is in the center of the Royal Beast Race.

This was also why a hundred years ago, when Xiao Chen led many tribes of the Border Wasteland Region to sweep across the northern territory of the Royal Beast Race, he hadn’t encountered the hidden Emperor Clans making a move.

The Royal Beast Race wasn’t a monolith; besides these three old established Emperor Clans, including other Royal Beast Race families who mostly had declined, some even no longer boasted sovereigns, including some newly emerged sovereign families.

But, for any race with potential, the position of Emperor Sacred Beast is their goal—ranking as an emperor, controlling the fate of a clan, under the great cause of the clan, there lies smaller benefits.

Take the current Kui Niu Family]=> Sacred Beast King comes from the Qi Family, and the entire Kui Niu Family’s influence spans the entire Beast Underworld, followed closely by the Fei Yi Family and Xiezhi Family.

This is quite the norm, even in the Human Realm, among any race of the Hundred Clans of Heaven, like the people of the Human Emperor family of the Human Realm, although secluded, their power is fundamentally beyond what an ordinary warrior can comprehend!

In fact, Xiao Chen’s initial attack on the Beast Underworld not encountering other Emperor Clans making a move also resulted from these powers mutually struggling against each other.

Just seize the opportunity and act swiftly, it’s not impossible to defeat a member of the Xiezhi Family and obtain the divine blood; even if they have now fallen from the emperor position, the essence blood within them is still sufficient to allow Xiao Chen to condense a godly form of slaughter.

However, the precondition is that Xiao Chen’s strength would still need to enhance further, as entering the Royal Beast Race was extremely perilous.

"This time I am grateful to the Xiao Clan Leader for allowing Tiantai Xuan to complete the awakening of Small World and even shield the Heavenly Power. Tiantai Xuan needs to return to King Wen’s Palace soon."

Upon saying this, Tiantai Xuan slightly raised her head with a hint of shyness, gazing toward Xiao Chen. An indescribable sentiment burgeoned between them. This intervention allowed both to gain insights into some aspects of each other, a spiritual communication deeper than that of physical, directly imprinting in their memories.

Perhaps fearing Xiao Chen might misunderstand, she promptly added, "The art of awakening is a secret technique researched by the powerful predecessors of King Wen’s Palace. Although it is successful now, the ultimate extent it can reach is still uncertain, and moreover..."

"Moreover, although the current era still has over ten thousand years, chaos has already begun in the Hundred Clans and Myriads of Realms."

Upon saying this, she hesitated briefly, appearing to struggle, but after only a moment, she clenched her teeth and said, "Xiao... Xiao Chen, a chaotic era in the Hundred Realms is approaching, and signs of chaos have already appeared in the Heavenly Fate. I know you are the Saint Child of the Eastern Wasteland, desiring to vie for the position of Human Emperor, but be careful, as some risks come not only from without."

"My master has told me that since the Heavenly King Wen established the Inborn Divination Dao, this era has been the most dangerous the King Wen’s Palace has faced in dozens of eras, and a calamity for diviners like us."

"You mentioned internal risks, are they perhaps from within the Chaos Ancient Land?" suddenly, Xiao Chen inquired.

At this, Tiantai Xuan was slightly startled, her divine aura intensified as she said, "Right, I forgot you had once entered the forbidden gateway, stepping into that ancient primordial wilderness."

"What is in there!"

"I do not know, nor can I say." Upon hearing this, Tiantai Xuan shook her head, her eyes glowing with firm resolve. As a direct disciple of the contemporary Emperor Teacher, she naturally knew many secrets.

Even some tremendous secrets involving the human race, these concealed matters, even when their spirits were fused, Xiao Chen could not perceive even the slightest bit.

"The reason why the Five Realms’ Human Emperors have all initiated the competition for the throne is because of that place. The Human Emperors of the Five Directions need to enter the Ancient Land, and not just the Human Emperors. All emperors of our human race must enter there!"

At this, a trace of weariness showed on Tiantai Xuan’s delicate face.

She paused briefly, then spoke again, "Xiao Chen, you needn’t worry. The Human Saint Children of Central Lands and Southern Border have strong power because they were earlier granted the status of Saint Children by the Human Emperor’s Imperial Edict, with the Central Lands’ Saint Child even being tens of thousands of years old."

"The competition for the Human Emperor is also a responsibility. Otherwise, without emperors to guard the Human World, the very day our human race would be without guardians, would be our doomsday."

"This time, it is a movement of the Hundred Clans and Myriads of Realms!"

"Does the Hundred Realms intend to attack our human race?" Xiao Chen wondered.

"No, the clans of the Hundred Realms are but a minor irritation, not worth worrying over. In fact, not all races among the Hundred Clans are enemies of our human race. There are neutral races that do not get involved in the disputes of the human race and other alien races. There even exist races aligned with us, either as vassals or allies, such as the Rain Clan, who have secluded themselves for eons."

"That missing Rain Emperor of the Rain Clan, I surmise, entered the Chaos Ancient Land!"

Tiantai Xuan clearly struggled, unsure whether she should reveal so much to Xiao Chen, but looking at the Green Shadow in front of her, she felt somewhat uneasy.

The most crucial thing, a voice in her heart, like a small animal clawing, made her want to speak out involuntarily, as if wanting Xiao Chen to understand the gravity of the crisis!

"It is rumored in All Heavens that the Rain Emperor has been missing for several eras. Even if emperors are grand and can reach from Heaven to Earth, I fear the lifespan of the Rain Emperor might be nearing exhaustion."

"The Ancient Land is quite special, with mysterious beings that have disrupted the Heavenly Laws, so those emperors..."

Tiantai Xuan started to speak again but abruptly stopped.

At almost the same moment, both sensed an incredibly terrifying dread descending upon them, even unable to muster a defensive response, just feeling their Soul World darken like ink.

Huff huff huff!

A quarter-hour passed before this supreme crisis finally dissipated, and both drew a long breath. Yet, the fright within their eyes did not fade!
