King of Creation-Chapter 638 - 630: The Terrifying Trial Land

"Have you all felt that slight and unusual power fluctuation just now?" the leader of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, Jian Qianxiong, suddenly spoke up.

Because the five of them were standing in a circle around the newly opened gate to the Secret Realm, they could all see any change in each other’s expressions.

"Absolutely! Brother Jian, that power fluctuation just now seemed somewhat strange, but it disappeared too quickly, what about you?" the leader of the Heavenly Net Sect, Wug Mengshan, asked.

"How rare are oddities here? In this place, if something unusual doesn’t happen, that in itself would be unusual!" Sect Master Yin Changsheng of the Longevity Sect sneered.

"It seems there’s nothing that strange?" The Tower Master of the Stars Tower from the True Spirit Domain, Yan Cong, had the most awkward expression, honestly, he had hardly felt that abnormal fluctuation.

"Yes, Sect Master Yin is right, it would be abnormal here if nothing unexpected happened." Yun Chongxiao, the Castle Master of Qingyun Castle, laughed.

An anomaly detected during their sensing vanished into thin air amidst the casual conversation of the group, but a sliver of a strange glint flashed in the eyes of Sun and Moon Divine Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong.

If it hadn’t been for the sensation he had on the way here, he probably wouldn’t have cared, but witnessing two unusual sensations within several hours, and both vaguely occurring near Ye Zhen, was a bit strange.

This discovery made Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong somewhat worried, after all, the fate of the Divine Sect hinged on this trial, especially since Ye Zhen was the martial artist on whom he had placed his significant bets.

After worrying for a while, Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong suddenly smiled secretly, chastising himself for being too nervous. What martial artist doesn’t have a secret or two?

Besides, someone like Ye Zhen, who with the Third Stage Cultivation of the Soul Sea Realm defeated a martial artist of the Third Stage of the Vein Forging Realm could be considered an anomaly himself.

Maybe, that slight anomaly was caused by Ye Zhen.

Unlike the relaxed atmosphere outside, Ye Zhen, who had just stepped through the gate into the Trial Secret Realm, suddenly became extremely serious.

The overwhelming Divine Soul Power enveloped the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten like a flood. In an instant, it wrapped around the kitten in his arms, securing it tightly as the Divine Soul Power began to sweep over it like a carpet, searching for any potential anomalies.

The moment Ye Zhen crossed the Secret Realm Gate, he suddenly felt a fleeting surge of power from the body of the Cloud Winged Tiger King.

Although it was extremely brief, Ye Zhen’s perception was crystal clear, and that power fluctuation was definitely not from the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.

Ye Zhen’s ability to detect this fleeting surge of power was unexpected itself. Upon entering the gate of the Trial Secret Realm, fearing immediate attack upon arrival, he had activated his First Sword Vein in advance, entering the state of Sword Heart Enlightenment.

Then, he clearly sensed an unusual surge of power on the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten in his embrace.

His Divine Sense swept over it like lightning, but Ye Zhen’s eyebrows furrowed tightly.

No discovery!

No abnormalities!

Yet, the sensations under the state of Sword Heart Enlightenment can never be mistaken.

This was a very contradictory situation.

"Roar!"

"Howl!"

The moment Ye Zhen firmly set foot on the ground, a number of deafening roars of Demon Beasts resounded towards him, followed by flames, water light, and massive green wind blades bombing him from all directions.

The instant he understood the situation, cold sweat rushed down Ye Zhen’s forehead as he found himself in a critical situation. Suddenly, a pair of huge Spirit Wings appeared behind him. As the enormous Spirit Wings turned into a shadow, Ye Zhen’s figure vanished into thin air, leaving only a flash of purple light across the sky.

Silver Line Flash.

Boom! ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Continued explosions rang out where Ye Zhen had just disappeared, as different types of Spiritual Power collided, forming an energy storm with a radius of a hundred meters.

Within a hundred meters, the area became an absolute wasteland, all vegetation pulverized.

From afar, Ye Zhen watched this unfold with cold sweats; he was almost finished.

If it weren’t for his Silver Line Flash, anyone else, even a martial artist at the Second Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, protected by High Grade Treasure Armor, would have been doomed.

Six Demon Beasts, one of Heavenly Level Middle Grade and five of Heavenly Level Lower Grade, all attacking at the same time—Ye Zhen estimated that this intensity of attack could only be withstood by someone at the Peak of the Vein Forging Realm or a King of the Establishment Realm!

Noticing that Ye Zhen had evaded their assault, the six Demon Beasts each let out an angry roar, with the leader, a Six Sun Blazing Flame Colt, giving a furious long whinny and lunging at Ye Zhen like lightning.

More astonishing was that, amid the long whinnies of the Six Sun Blazing Flame Colt, the other five Heavenly Level Lower Grade Demon Beasts spread out in a fan formation, coordinating a pincer attack on Ye Zhen!

These Demon Beasts were organized and led!

This greatly surprised Ye Zhen.

But however surprised he was, what emerged on Ye Zhen’s face was a cold smirk!

Boom!

A Heavenly Thunder of Fright struck without warning, sending the Six Sun Blazing Flame Colt trembling to the ground from mid-air. Two Purple Jade Seals floated out from Ye Zhen’s chest, moving to meet the pouncing Demon Beasts from both sides.

"Suppress!"

"Explode!"

The two Shattered Jade Seals exploded directly above the foreheads of two demon beasts, like drifting clouds flowing water, and in an instant, flesh and blood flew in all directions. Those two demon beasts instantly turned into pieces, while the other three Heavenly Level Lower Grade demon beasts that were farther away were also blasted away, their bodies torn and bloodied.

After catching its breath, the Six Sun Blazing Flame Colt suddenly let out a mournful cry, and then something that greatly surprised Ye Zhen happened.

The other three Heavenly Level Lower Grade demon beasts that had just been injured actually turned and fled amidst their tumbling, fleeing decisively without the slightest hesitation.

Even the Six Sun Blazing Flame Colt shot a Fire Dragon at Ye Zhen and, with clouds of smoke billowing from its hooves, attempted to escape.

Boom!

Heavenly Thunder of Fright struck again, but this time, the Heavenly Level Middle Grade Six Sun Blazing Flame Colt was prepared. From its nostrils, it sprayed out an extremely intense fireball, blocking Ye Zhen’s Heavenly Thunder of Fright.

Whoosh!

A section of a Purple Jade finger, with a startling breaking air sound, heavily pointed towards the center of the Six Sun Blazing Flame Colt’s forehead. The overpowering fire erupted like a volcanic eruption from its forehead and in a split second formed layers upon layers of Fire Flame Protective Shields.

In the next instant, these layers upon layers of Fire Flame Protective Shields were torn apart like paper by Ye Zhen’s Floating Cloud Finger, though the radiance on the Floating Cloud Finger gradually wore off as well.

Finally, the Floating Cloud Finger penetrated the last layer of the Fire Flame Protective Shield, fiercely pointing at the forehead of the Six Sun Blazing Flame Colt. The creature let out a terrified and mournful cry as its forehead deeply collapsed, and its body was sent flying backward, but it didn’t shatter.

Ye Zhen’s right palm lifted again, and pitch-black Heavenly Thunder struck down from the sky once more.

After a moment, the Six Sun Blazing Flame Colt’s massive head flew off, and warm beast blood sprayed everywhere.

Whistle!

A shrill sound of cutting air came from behind Ye Zhen, as a hundred-zhang-long enormous green wind blade slashed down towards him from behind.

Shifting sideways for several meters, Ye Zhen dodged the enormous wind blade, his eyes like those of an eagle zeroing in on a giant green bull a kilometer away.

Seeing Ye Zhen’s gaze fix on it, a flicker of panic clearly flashed in the eyes of the giant green bull, it bellowed wildly, turned around, and bolted away.

Ye Zhen did not pursue. Although he could catch up with the giant green bull if he continuously used Silver Line Flash, he opted not to.

"Go, replenish yourself a little, and bring back the demon cores!"

The Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten in Ye Zhen’s arms burst out like lightning, pouncing towards the corpses of several demon beasts, especially the body of the Heavenly Level Middle Grade Six Sun Blazing Flame Colt.

Ye Zhen, however, was observing his surroundings with a grave expression.

Feng Qingyue was right; the demon beasts within this Trial Secret Realm had incredibly high Spirit Wisdom, actually organizing ambushes, not to mention that when the Six Sun Blazing Flame Colt faced life-threatening danger, there were beasts that attempted to stealth attack Ye Zhen from behind to rescue the Six Sun Blazing Flame Colt.

What shocked Ye Zhen the most wasn’t that, though. What shocked him was that the beasts here actually cooperated, and there were even signs of commands!

Demon beasts, historically known to be an extremely individualistic and dispersed group, excluding same-species herding demon beasts, other demon beasts have a very strong sense of territoriality, and xenophobia.

But today in this Trial Secret Realm, Ye Zhen encountered six demon beasts of six different species—there were those that fly in the sky and those that run on the ground. If these six demon beasts gathered outside, the first thing they would do is fight each other to death.

But here, they were cooperating to encircle and attack, and there were beasts commanding and coordinating the operation!

In other words, it was very possible that these demon beasts were organized.

There are numerous demon beasts, each individually powerful, but they’ve always been suppressed by martial artists deep in the mountains due to their extreme individualism; they often ended up killing each other even before dealing with martial artists.

However, if they were organized and commanded...

Just thinking about it could send shivers down one’s spine.

Suddenly, Ye Zhen felt that the martial artist at the Fourth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm who was killed by demon beasts five years ago wasn’t wronged at all! Conversely, other martial artists who survived should count their blessings.

Being able to survive surrounded by organized, commanded Heavenly Level demon beasts was truly something to be grateful for; it was almost a matter of luck.

If the demon beasts that surrounded Ye Zhen just now had all been Heavenly Level Middle Grade, and there was even a Heavenly Level High Grade demon beast added to the mix, Ye Zhen estimated that the only fate for him would have been to become demon beast excrement.

His Divine Sense swept across a thousand meters radius like ripples on water, but did not find the Trial Token recorded on the Jade Scroll.

"Kitten, let’s go!"

Just over a dozen breaths’ time, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten had just extracted three demon cores and hadn’t even savored a few bites of demon beast flesh before it heard Ye Zhen’s call.

However, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten obediently flew to Ye Zhen’s side because it sensed the unease in Ye Zhen’s voice.

Yes, upon realizing that the demon beasts here were likely organized and commanded, Ye Zhen suddenly felt some fear!

Especially since the scent of blood had a fatal attraction to demon beasts. With three demon beasts having fled, Ye Zhen felt his situation was extremely dangerous.

Mounting the Cloud Winged Tiger King, Ye Zhen quickly left the area!

What Ye Zhen didn’t know was that, about half an hour later, dozens of streaks of light gathered from the sky and underground towards the area where the Six Sun Blazing Flame Colt had died in battle.
