Supreme Tamer

Chapter 680: Chapter 550: Altar Square, The Statue Comes to Life!

Ten minutes’ time, a total annihilation!

An exhilarating and hearty battle?

Those who described this battle as “evenly matched” now had their expressions frozen.

As for the people who supported Xiao An and believed that his team might be able to eliminate Chu Chen’s team through a “sneak attack”, their expressions were even stranger!!

Group battles, due to the large number of Soul Pets involved, always had continuous variables, and the battle usually lasted close to an hour, even without changing their Soul Pets.

To end the battle in ten minutes could only mean that the strength of both sides wasn’t on the same level at all!!

Xiao An, after all, was the fifth-ranked powerhouse, but his whole army was annihilated after this one battle with Chu Mu. This result was truly shocking!!

“Chu Chen is really sweeping the second-tier now. All those experts we have to look up to are easily crushed by him.” Shang Heng sighed.

“Who knows if this guy is hiding any Main pets.” Zhao Cheng said.

“Is that even possible? These Soul Pets are already overpowered!” The Soul Hall members said with a look of astonishment.

Many of the Soul Hall members present also witnessed Chu Mu’s battle with Jiang Yiteng. The Elders within the Soul Hall had no objections to Chu Mu having a White Nightmare Demon, so what else could they say? However, now Chu Mu’s fierce combat power was both surprising and pleasing to the Soul Hall members, all hoping that Chu Mu would very powerfully win this final honor for the second-tier.

“Haha, I was just casually saying. How could it be hiding any Soul Pets?” Zhao Cheng said, laughing.

…

World Competition Hall

“According to the instability of the seal, this Blood Beast’s strength may have increased!” Hai Qiu, one of the Four Seats, said, frowning.

“Before being sealed, it was just a High-Level Monarch. So you mean it has possibly upgraded to Peak Monarch now?”

“There’s a strong possibility. I just went to check and found that the blood qi was heavier.” Ye Tao, who had returned from the City of Immortality, said.

“Why didn’t you say that earlier? And those who checked on this matter, how did they make such a mistake!” Hai Qiu said somewhat annoyed.

“If it is a Peak Monarch, then no matter how many contestants arrive there, they will be annihilated. I should still be able to make it in time if I hurry over now. I’ll go personally and weaken the Blood Beast’s strength a bit,” Ye Tao said.

A Peak Monarch, for the second-tier, would be like a death god. Many Soul Pets would be instantly killed.

Normally, the highest honor difficulty of the second tier was set at Tenth Rank High-Level Monarch, and it often required many contestants to besiege to have a chance to kill. If the Blood Beast’s strength had increased by two ranks, no one would be able to get this final honor.

“Contestants usually take about ten days to arrive. Ye Tao, you better move faster, injure the Peak Monarch, and then let the contestants go. There shouldn’t be any problems,” Hai Qiu said.

Ye Tao nodded, and immediately left the World Competition Hall, heading to the Immortal City once again.

Sealed Soul Pets, due to the long-term lack of battle, usually have their strength weakened. But there are also some extremely tenacious and strong life-force Soul Pets, which can temper their bodies through harsh environments and then, after long years, reach a breakthrough in strength!

…

“Chu Mu, try to conserve your fighting strength, especially your Main pets, the final honor of the ninth realm won’t be so easy to snatch.” Ye Qingzi said to Chu Mu.

Chu Mu nodded, and recited the spell, summoning the Ghost Dome King and Wind-binding Spirit to his side.

The Ghost Dome King had reached the Ninth Rank Second Stage, with the effect of the Eighth-Level Soul Armor, it shouldn’t be a big problem to withstand the attacks of Intermediate Monarchs. The main fighting force for the upcoming battles naturally falls to Ye Wansheng and Princess Jinrou.

Princess Jinrou’s chosen route could be described as heading straight to the Blood Beast Altar. On the way, the four of them took a long detour, but they gradually caught up with the other contestants in just a few days.

According to the previous estimate, it would take another two days maximum to reach the Blood Beast Altar.

Princess Jinrou’s chosen route was originally estimated to take only seven days. However, due to various creatures and contestants’ obstructions on the way, they could only arrive on the eighth or ninth day.

Chu Mu’s Zhan Ye wouldn’t be able to withstand such a long battle, so after the battle with Xiao An, Chu Mu put Zhan Ye back in the Soul Pet Space to rest and recover its Limb Regeneration ability.

…

The eighth day.

Chu Mu and the others finally approached the Blood Beast Altar.

Beneath the Blood Beast Altar, there was an Altar Plaza, which had an obvious twelve-sided shape and occupied a large area of the Immortal City.

Many stone pillars with various strange demon patterns were distributed between the edge of the square and the central altar. These pillars were nearly thirty meters high, covered in gray-white color with the dirt and dust from over the years.

At the twelve corners, there were twelve channels leading to the Altar, created by rows of separated pillars. What was shocking was that although the altar’s base was as wide as a plaza, outside the channels formed by the pillars were countless bizarre and grotesque statues. Most of these statues were fierce creatures, lifelike as they stood there, as if anyone who dared to step into their position would cause them to “come to life”!

Similarly, many statues stood on the black stone brick road leading to the highest altar, which was obviously much less crowded than the countless statues outside the pillars.

“I’ll go and explore first!”

Voluntarily, Ye Wansheng slowly approached the pillar-separated channel, riding on his intermediate-level ninth rank Spotted demon tiger.

The statues standing in the middle of the pillar road were neatly arranged. At a glance, there were about 15 of them. These statues were humanoid, with scales all over their bodies and much more robust than humans. They looked like some kind of reptile standing upright.

The statue’s head had horns, prominent facial features, and gave a majestic feel. Most peculiarly, they had long tails like lizards.

The four of them had never seen such creatures before, so they couldn’t give a name to them. Perhaps this was just one of the artistic sculptures of the Immortal City.

“By the way, how strong are the sealed creatures in the Blood Beast Altar? They definitely can’t be intermediate monarchs. They should be at least high-level monarchs, right?” Ye Wansheng turned around and asked.

“It should be between high-level monarchs and peak monarchs,” the princess gave a more accurate range of strength.

“I hope…” Ye Wansheng tried to say something, but suddenly realized something and swallowed his words!

No one knew what happened, but Ye Wansheng’s Spotted demon tiger suddenly changed directions and quickly ran back, looking cold and sweating!!

“What happened?” the three asked doubtfully.

Chu Mu, Ye Qingzi, and Princess Jinrou were all following Ye Wansheng, and they didn’t see anything.

“Damn, that statue… is alive!” Ye Wansheng cursed!

The eyes of the three quickly fell on the statue, observing it carefully.

However, no matter how closely they looked, the statues still seemed lifeless, with no signs of life. Moreover, if the statues really were alive, they would definitely feel some breath at such close range.

“This is a Stone Guardian, a combination of rock-type and beast-type soul pets, with absolute strength and defense. The region you live in does not have such elemental world soul pets.” At this time, a voice slowly came from behind.

Chu Mu had noticed the movement behind him before, and he turned around as soon as the man spoke.

However, the other three were alert as they watched the uninvited guest intently.

The approaching man was alone, without any soul pets around him. It seemed that he expected that Chu Mu and the others wouldn’t attack him, so he didn’t stop and kept approaching the four.

“These Stone Guardians are all low-level monarchs. Those closer to the Blood Beast Altar are intermediate monarchs. Usually, these Stone Guardians will not show any signs of life, appearing completely like sculptures. It’s only when someone approaches within a 100-meter range that they will come to life. In other words, there are a total of 15 Stone Guardians on this road, and only by clearing them can you reach the Blood Beast Altar and unlock its seal.” The man continued.

As he spoke, the man did not stop moving. He had been walking steadily towards the road lined with 15 Stone Guardians even when he passed through the group of four.

“This is Soul Alliance Si Tian,” Princess Jinrou whispered to Chu Mu.

Chu Mu had already recognized this lone man who was one of the strongest at the second level and plagued the Immortal City. However, Chu Mu felt strange because this guy had no interest in dealing with competitors first but instead told them the information about the Stone Guardians.

Soul Alliance Si Tian kept moving forward and quickly approached the first statue within a range of 100 meters…

But what surprised the four was that the Stone Guard didn’t move at all!

The Stone Guardian didn’t “come to life,” Soul Alliance Si Tian kept going and even passed the second Stone Guardian without any reaction.

“By the way, I know how to keep them from waking up, so, I’ll go first.” Si Tian turned back and revealed a smile.

After that, Si Tian continued on towards the Blood Beast Altar!

“Liar! Shameless!” Ye Wansheng cursed immediately.

Ye Wansheng naturally did not believe Si Tian’s words. He drove the Spotted demon tiger and charged once again.

However, as Ye Wansheng approached within 100 meters, the first statue suddenly trembled visibly, and the dust on its body began to shake off!!

It came to life!! The Stone Guardian really came to life!!(To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
