"Heh, pretentious monster, dare to reveal yourself and fight."
Ye Chen sneered, unwilling to waste words, and strode forward.
"Stubborn!"
That voice instantly erupted in anger, and with a shout, the walls on both sides of the tomb cracked open. Flying daggers carrying endless True Martial Intent frantically slashed out, aiming to dismember Ye Chen.
"Want to kill me?"
Ye Chen was well-prepared; he wielded the Slaughter Sword in his right hand and raised the Heavens-Splitting Divine Spear with his left hand, countering the daggers’ assault.
Clink, clink, clink!
All the flying daggers were knocked down to the ground by Ye Chen.
"Oh, you have some skills."
The voice expressed slight surprise.
"It seems the mechanisms of the tomb can’t harm you."
"In that case, I shall have to act personally."
"To die by my hand, you should be proud."
Rumble!
The void boomed, and the ground cracked.
A terrifying disturbance occurred underground as if a colossal entity was awakening from slumber, ready to burst forth.
Crunch!
A massive, fearsome, razor-sharp claw violently broke through the ground, dripping with blood!
Swoosh!
The enormous claw tore through the void, ferociously aiming for Ye Chen’s head, intending to crush it in one blow.
"What terrifying aura!"
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly; the aura attached to the giant claw likely reached a level akin to the Yan Tian Dragon God.
However, Ye Chen wasn’t afraid; he swung his sword fiercely, unleashing a seven-layered Blood Light explosion, wrapped in infinite spiritual pressure, as the Slaughter Sword in his hand slashed heavily onto the claw.
Twang!
The sword light exploded.
The beast’s claw bore a deep wound inflicted by Ye Chen, with scales splattering blood.
Even in the past, Ye Chen could fight against experts of this realm.
And now, he was close to the Chaos Realm, just a step away, his strength enhanced, making him fearless against such foes.
"Hmm? How is this possible!"
"You haven’t yet stepped into Chaos; why do you possess such combat strength!"
Beastly roars filled with immense dread echoed.
Crash!
A humanoid ferocious beast, towering and blood-red, broke through the floor and appeared before Ye Chen.
This humanoid beast stood about seven or eight meters tall, barely fitting within the tomb, forcing it to stoop. Its forehead bore a single horn, blood-red skin covered in scales with a pungent odor.
Its arms were long like an ape’s, almost touching the ground, its eyes fiery red, teeth like swords and halberds, extremely terrifying.
"What kind of ferocious beast is this?"
Ye Chen’s heart trembled, for he had never seen such a strange humanoid beast, carrying a hint of Outer Realm demonic qi!
He calculated frantically, trying to deduce the details of this humanoid beast, but the heavenly secrets were too ancient, and he gleaned nothing.
"Be careful, this is one of the Ancient Ten Evils, the Single-Horned Drought Demon!"
The voice of the Ancient Medical God echoed in Ye Chen’s mind.
"Ancient Ten Evils, Single-Horned Drought Demon?"
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed.
"These Ancient Ten Evils were among the ferocious beasts of the ancient Outer Heaven Demon; each possesses god-like might, their strength comparable to the peak god emperors of the Heavenly God Realm!"
"Comparable to god emperors?"
Ye Chen was greatly astonished.
The Ancient Ten Evils were so formidable, their strength comparable to the god emperors.
But now, he saw the aura of the Single-Horned Drought Demon, only at the first or second-level Heavenly God Realm, akin to the injured Yan Tian Dragon God, lacking the dignity of a god emperor.
"After the ancient war, the Ten Great Fierce Beasts were nearly all suppressed, and over countless years, their strength has greatly dwindled. But they are still mighty, so do not be careless!"
The Ancient Medical God cautioned.
It turned out this Single-Horned Drought Demon was the ferocious beast suppressed in the Chong Guang Burial Ground.
