Chapter 1717: Chapter 923: Beast God Tiger Venerate
Once the giant serpent died, Lin Feng did not hesitate, for the serpent’s carcass would surely attract more demon beasts. Lin Feng headed deeper into the forest.
Shortly after Lin Feng left, a large swarm of demon beasts rushed over to devour the serpent’s body. Although the serpent’s scale armor was hard, it couldn’t prevent these beasts from feasting upon it.
Since the surrounding demon beasts were attracted by the serpent’s body, Lin Feng rarely encountered any other creatures on his path. Guided by Hua Shengmi, he easily avoided danger and reached the barrier of the next layer.
Using the same method as before, Lin Feng entered the barrier.
The Second Layer barrier was not a nighttime setting, but rather a bright day, resembling the forest outside, filled with brightness.
However, the spiritual power here was significantly thicker than before, indicating that the demon beasts within were much stronger.
Aware that he was not their match, Lin Feng took out the Spirit Communication Cloak and wore it to travel safely. The peripheral demon beasts couldn’t possibly detect his presence.
Lin Feng passed by a demon beast resembling a tiger. He suddenly realized that this beast was a Three Treasures Spirit Tiger Beast, the guardian totem of the Human Realm.
Lin Feng said to Hua Shengmi, "I plan to communicate with it and see if it’s willing to help us."
Hua Shengmi agreed with Lin Feng’s proposal, understanding that securing the totem beast’s support equated to gaining free passage through the Second Layer.
Lin Feng removed the Spirit Communication Cloak, and the Three Treasures Spirit Tiger Beast gazed at him, saying, "Human, I haven’t seen one for over three hundred years. Are you truly human?"
Lin Feng clasped his hands in respect and bowed to the Three Treasures Spirit Tiger Beast, filled with reverence.
"Tiger Venerate, disciple Lin Feng requests that you carry me into the Third Layer barrier. Would you be so kind as to assist me?" Lin Feng asked, waiting for the Three Treasures Spirit Tiger Beast’s response.
The Three Treasures Spirit Tiger Beast did not immediately respond, keeping its eyes closed. It appeared like a regular tiger but was much larger and clad in gold armor tailored perfectly to its form, embodying the divine beast’s aura.
No wonder Lin Feng had not sensed any demon beast activity along his path; it was due to Tiger Venerate’s presence here.
The larger demon beasts had avoided the area.
Lin Feng waited there for a whole day and night, but Tiger Venerate did not say anything further.
"It seems hopeless now. Let’s go," Hua Shengmi said with some disappointment.
At that moment, a Three Treasures Spirit Rabbit suddenly jumped out of Lin Feng’s backpack. Tiger Venerate instantly opened its eyes, pouncing toward the rabbit beside Lin Feng.
With its inherent pressure, Lin Feng couldn’t approach, and Tiger Venerate swallowed the Three Treasures Spirit Rabbit whole. Lin Feng’s heart was broken, but the next moment, the massive tiger transformed into human form. Amidst a burst of light, a man in armor stood resolutely before Lin Feng.
The man’s golden armor was striking, emitting an aura of a king. Yet, he politely addressed Lin Feng, "Thank you for helping me retrieve the remaining Primordial Spirit, allowing me to regain my human form."
Lin Feng was somewhat astonished and asked about the reason.
The man in gold armor explained, "The Three Treasures Spirit Rabbit was created from a part of my primordial spirit split three hundred years ago. Originally, I was the Three Treasures Spirit Tiger Beast. Having Lin Feng return the rabbit allows me freedom and enables me to guide Lin Feng through all the barriers."
Lin Feng was surprised but quickly understood, realizing everything had been predetermined by fate.
Following this, along the journey, Lin Feng encountered over a dozen demon beasts of Fifth Grade or higher, all surpassing the Six Spirit Knot. But when the man in gold armor acted, they were all slain instantly.
While Lin Feng battled there, significant changes were already unfolding outside in the world.
The Court’s army and Yunzhou Marquis’s troops commenced a wild battle. Yunzhou Marquis swiftly seized Biyao City, forcing the Human Realm Emperor to negotiate with Yunzhou Marquis.
Unexpectedly, during negotiations, Yunzhou Marquis turned the tables and detained the Emperor.
Princess Ping’an, residing in Biyao City, was left to control the country’s situation amid such chaos.
The world’s situation changed rapidly, becoming unpredictable and unfathomable. The Six Great Sects had united, forming a new power, while the Princess aimed to leverage their strength to prevent Yunzhou Marquis from dominating the world and safely rescue her brother.
With the worldwide turmoil, Lin Feng couldn’t afford further delay. As Lin Feng entered the Secret Realm’s barrier, those behind the scenes had already launched a new offensive.
Their goal was to reclaim the "Heavenly Wood Bell" from the Six Great Sects. Only by gathering the five soul devices could they unlock the legendary vault and obtain the legacy of the ancient great masters. The mastermind sought this power to unite the Six Realms.
For this purpose, the mastermind had plotted for hundreds of years, taking every precaution to ensure success. Developments had aligned with their expectations, leaving them pleased as they dispatched their team of black-clad assassins toward the Six Great Sects’ gathering place in the Human Realm.
