Chapter 617: Chapter 603 Opposing Forces, Killing Intent Emerges!_1

The Human Realm, Luo Long Mountain Range.

Inside the ancient mountain, the white-robed Elder Feng Ming was anxiously watching the silver vortex above his head. At this moment, the blood-colored altar, having consumed a vast amount of blood and flesh essence, had already turned ashen.

If no warriors arrive via the temporary Void Path and descend into the Human Realm, this Void Path would revert to chaos due to a lack of energy support. All the painstaking work and sacrifice of his minions over several days would thus be squandered.

Boom!

The very next moment, the space above began to tremble, and a howling sound emerged from the center of the vortex. A strapping figure stepped out.

The newcomer was a middle-aged man with a hint of rebellion between his brows. A scar traced the side of his face. Still, Elder Feng Ming didn’t recognize him, but his arrival confirmed the months of hardship were not in vain.

As this warrior arrived, the vortex above the Void disappeared, and the twisted Void gradually returned to calm.

The Blood Altar turned totally grey, revealing its true form: a stone altar, but covered in carved runes. These symbols had once again become inanimate objects, densely covering the altar.

The Void restored its tranquility, and everything seemed as though nothing had ever happened. Still, the dark rock wall remained silent unless a Sacred Beast Tribe Warrior appeared, creating an illusion.

"I assume you must be the elder of the Ji Feng Clan, whom I have long admired. I am Shou Hun, the lord of Ten Thousand Beast City in the Northern Region of the Beast Underworld."

As Shou Hun appeared, a potent aura of savagery spread out. He glanced around, and his gaze landed on the white-robed figure on the altar below, knowing that the Void Passage was created by the person before him.

A moment after descending from the Beast Underworld to the Human Realm’s Desolate Land, Shou Hun breathed deeply. His eyes flashed brightly, "The primal atmosphere of this Desolate Land of the Human Realm truly surpasses that of the Beast Underworld. I now firmly believe that this place was indeed the ancestral land of our Sacred Beast Tribe in antiquity!"

"The lord of Ten Thousand Beast City!"

Upon hearing this, a look of understanding flashed in the eyes of Elder Feng Ming. Unexpectedly, the temporary Void Path opened up over the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, nearly ten million miles away from the Ji Feng Clan’s territory in the Northern Region. However, all of this is irrelevant now. With a highly-respected personal aid, the chances of performing another blood sacrifice and opening a temporary Void Path would greatly increase.

"I did not expect the lord of Ten Thousand Beast City to come. Excellent! This time, even if the strongest among the Humans descend, both of us should be able to retreat intact."

At this moment, Elder Feng Ming finally relaxed. After all, when he descended into the Human Realm, he had already surveyed the situation in the Border Wilderness Region. Only the Human Ancestral Court in the entire Border Wilderness Domain has a highly respected and accomplished figure at the seventh level of the Towering Realm, who would not show up casually. In contrast, the accomplished figures at the sixth level of the Towering Realm represented the pinnacle of the Human forces in the Border Wilderness Domain.

The two of them were highly respected figures, and even if they were besieged by the Humans, they should be able to retreat intact provided they support each other.

"Elder Feng, it is not your intention to bring me to the Human Realm and have me hide, is it? I have already sensed the presence of Humans. Why don’t we both descend into the Human Tribe, kill them all, and perform a blood sacrifice to their entire tribe? This way, we will open the Void Passage once again and summon more warriors!"

The Lord of Ten Thousand Beast City had a murderous look in his eyes, and a killing intent emerged on his ferocious face, "I sense that warriors have descended. Is it the strong Human you mentioned, Elder Feng?"

"Let’s use his blood and flesh as a celebration for my arrival in the Human Realm!"

About three miles away.

On top of a thousand-foot ancient mountain, Xiao Chen stood alone, where the wind blowing around him was unable to sway his figure.

The scent of blood!

The fierce Heavenly Thunder and the twisted Void started to vanish, and Xiao Chen understood that, more likely than not, there were members of the Exotic Clan descending into the Human Realm once again. At this moment, a dense smell of blood was spreading out from that ancient mountain.

The smell of blood was accompanied by the surging killing intent.

At this moment, both sides felt the other’s presence.

Xiao Chen stood against the wind, feeling the slight killing intent in the air. Two invisible currents had locked on to him within this land that was less than a few miles away. For a respected person, such a distance was covered in the blink of an eye. The two air currents that locked on him didn’t hide their auras at all.

Buzz!

"The Exotic Clan is rampant!"

His eyes flashed with the intent to kill. With the spiritual will of the Perfect Realm, he could clearly sense the strength of the two Sacred Beast Tribe Warriors in the mountain range a few miles away.

One of them was at the middle stages of the Sixth Level of the Towering Realm, radiating a strong, rampaging aura. The other one was at the peak of the Sixth Level of the Towering Realm, although his blood Qi seemed somewhat frail.

In the Wilderness, warriors of the Hundred Clans each have their distinct cultivation methods. Despite the diversity, the ultimate goal of all cultivation paths converge: the evolution of life’s true essence. The cultivation methods of the Sacred Beast Tribe are not drastically different from that of the human race. They both explore the mysteries of heaven and earth.

Humm, humm, humm!

Suddenly, the murderous intent in the air grew denser. Even the Sky Vault darkened, shrouded in a grey haze. The entire area, extending dozens of miles, seemed to be obscured.

The ancient trees in the wolf forest rustled vigorously, some weaker menacing beasts were quashed by this formidable aura, crouching on the ground and whimpering.

Xiao Chen’s eyes twitched. He scoffed coldly as he looked up at the Sky Vault, "Finally decided to show up, have you?"

Amidst the gale, charged with fearsome power, two intangible auras converged into two invisible air-swords. Coming from two different directions, they aimed at Xiao Chen, attempting to break his momentum.

Boom!

With a firm footstep, thunder echoed from the Void, causing ripples under Xiao Chen’s feet that instantly dissolved the two incoming airswords.

"Huh, who could’ve guessed! Even after seeing us, you don’t runaway. You think you can stand up to us just because you’ve reached the initial stage of Venerable Realm?"

The strong wind howled, resonating from the depths of the ancient mountain crevice a few miles away. Two shadows flashed, standing over the Void. It was Venerable Feng Ming and the ruler of Ten Thousand Beast City!

"Sacred Beast Tribe!"

Xiao Chen’s eyes sparkled, piercing through the Void as if they could penetrate the very soul of a person. However, the two Venerables from the Sacred Beast Tribe were no weaklings; their Battle Qi Realm was even slightly above his. Yet their mental will was not so easily penetrated.

"Is this really the best the Human Ancestral Court could send out? It seems like the human race truly is declining with each generation, only sending out leftovers like these!"

Venerable Feng Ming finally sensed Xiao Chen’s realm and breathed a sigh of relief. If the human race had sent some old Venerables, it would not have been so simple for them to retreat unscathed.

However, just a mere Venerable in the initial stage thinking he could stop them was utterly absurd. After they killed this ignorant human warrior, they could immediately retreat into the Wilderness. Once they gathered enough energy for the altar again, they would summon the strongest individuals from their race. Even if the strongest warriors from the Human Ancestral Court arrived then, they would not be afraid.

Xiao Chen had a clear view of the two Sacred Beast Tribe warriors, "Killing the two of you is more than enough! Regardless of your arrival, you shall only hide in the Human Realm like a rat. There is no cause for our clan leader to fear you."

"For countless generations, there’s one thing that hasn’t changed about the human race—your arrogance. To think you really believe this sacred land belongs to you. It’s laughable and ridiculous."

Venerable Feng Ming wasn’t angered. He calmly assessed Xiao Chen’s strength. After noticing that there were no signs of other threats and Xiao Chen was alone, he gradually calmed down.

As long as they killed Xiao Chen, they could ensure their movements remained under the radar for the time being. Furthermore, they could use Xiao Chen’s flesh and blood for the altar, to provide nourishment for the next temporary Void Passage. The blood essence of the human race was incomparable to that of the menacing beasts.

"This sacred land, tainted by human occupation, is, after all, a desecration. We have been preparing to return to the Wilderness for this day for a long time. We will not let the human race interfere."

"We will summon the Strong Ones from our tribe to descend, permanently breaking the Void Seal of the Sacred Beast Tribe and turning it into an Eternal Pathway. War Masters from my Supreme Wind Clan will continuously descend on the Human Realm, and when the King arrives, this Wilderness will once again become our Sacred Beast Tribe’s eternal sacred land!"

"It seems that in this time when the Heavens’ River is about to descend, the Sacred Beast Tribe has been making continuous covert movements!"

"Oh, you pitiful humans. As soon as you knew the Heavens’ River was descending upon the Hollow World, us Hundred Clans decided to rise together, War Masters leading us in a Conquest against the human race. However, you won’t live to see any of it. Your flesh and blood will turn into food for the altar, contributing to the descent of the strongest individuals from our tribe onto the Wilderness early on—it’s a fitting end!"

"Even if you, as humans, bleed your way across the Vault of Heaven to prevent our Hundred Clans’ Conquest, what will you do when we, the Hundred Realms Great Clan, open up numerous battlefields and attack the human race simultaneously? I’m curious how long the human race can last!"

Venerable Feng Ming’s eyes were filled with a dash of scarlet. His blood qi surged around his body like he’d already seen the Void open and the strongest individuals from their tribe descend, turning the Void Passage of the Beast Race into an Eternal Pathway. He seemed to have foreseen how the human clan warriors would be drowned in the battlefield of the Hundred Realm’s River, utterly defenceless against enemies at the front and back.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen’s gaze calmed as he stared at the two Venerable warriors of the Sacred Beast Tribe. He said, "The human race has been thriving since ancient times. We are not easily belittled by the arrogant distastefulness of the Survivors of the Exotic Clans!"

"Before eternity, the human race raised armies of righteousness and conquered the Wilderness. If it weren’t for your race’s lucky breakthrough into the Hundred Realms, you would’ve gone extinct ages ago. Yet here you are, brazen and arrogant in front of me."

"Insolent!"

"You deserve to die!"

"Elder Feng, allow me to act. I want to kill this human. I’ll snap every bone in his body, strip his bloody flesh, and let him taste unfathomable pain."

The ruler of Ten Thousand Beast City, his eyes full of savagery, didn’t understand why Elder Feng needed to engage in so much conversation with this human warrior. They could simply kill him without wasting breath. Moreover, why would they need to communicate with a dead man?
