Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 577 - 521

After Chu Chen left Long Batian’s residence, he flew straight into the sky from the stronghold.

The peaks on both sides of the Purple Bamboo Valley were thousands of feet high. Chu Chen flew using his own soul power, and his speed was not fast. It took him several minutes to reach the mountain peak.

The sea of clouds churned, and the strong wind howled, creating a unique charm to the scenery.

Gazing at the ever-surging sea of clouds, Chu Chen couldn’t help but feel a surge of heroic spirit in his chest. He suddenly opened his mouth and let out a long howl.

The roar lasted for a long time before it slowly subsided.

That roar seemed to have expelled all the pent-up energy in his heart, making him feel much lighter.

It was as if he had the magnificent ambition of "No one supports my ambition, I will tread the snow to the mountaintop on my own."

Chu Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, gently closing his eyes, recalling the hardships he had faced along the way. Scene after scene flickered in his mind, and his mood gradually began to change.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Chu Chen slowly opened his eyes, which had become extremely deep, and his whole demeanor had undergone a tremendous transformation, becoming more profound, as if nothing could affect his state of mind.

Looking at the still surging sea of clouds, Chu Chen slowly got up and muttered to himself, "It’s time to break through." With that, he leaped and dove towards the valley.

Before long, Chu Chen appeared in front of Long Batian’s door.

Before Chu Chen could knock, Long Batian’s voice came from inside, "Come in."

Seeing Chu Chen, Long Batian was momentarily taken aback. After carefully examining him, he smiled and said, "It seems you’ve benefited greatly these two days. Are you about to break through?"

Chu Chen smiled in response, saying, "That’s exactly my intention. I’m here to ask the teacher to guard me."

"Looks like you’re ready. Let’s go then."

Quickly they arrived at the door of the Cultivation Room.

Long Batian patted Chu Chen on the shoulder and offered a special blessing.

"Stay true to yourself, I’ll be waiting outside."

Hearing this, Chu Chen nodded solemnly and said, "I will. After I come out, let’s have a good drink."

"Alright, it’s a deal." With that, he personally closed the door of the Cultivation Room for Chu Chen.

Long Batian sat cross-legged at the door, his expression full of worry.

Meanwhile, Chu Chen also sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, and entered a meditative state, the Soul Sea surging, constantly washing away that invisible chasm.

Soon, a cluster of black clouds appeared in the sky above Purple Bamboo Valley, and the surrounding space seemed to have signs of solidification.

As time passed, the black cloud grew larger, until it covered the entire sky of Purple Bamboo Valley, only then did it stop.

The black cloud was extremely dark, not even a sliver of sunlight could penetrate it.

Such weird weather naturally alarmed everyone in the stronghold. They all walked out of their rooms to observe the scene outside the cave. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"What’s happening?" a young man exclaimed.

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this; clearly, no one knew what was happening.

"Elder Li, do you know what kind of celestial phenomenon this is?" a middle-aged woman asked the elder beside her.

This elder named Li held a high position in the Alliance, and his realm was also at the peak emperor level.

Elder Li did not immediately respond but instead stared intently at the black cloud in the sky, his eyes full of yearning.

"If I am not mistaken, this black cloud should be the Emperor Tribulation of a Beast Master," Elder Li said excitedly.

"What? An Emperor Tribulation for a Beast Master."

...

Everyone exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Elder Li nodded and said, "That’s right, it is indeed an Emperor Tribulation, and the person undergoing the tribulation is here among us."

Everyone was once again shocked, as they were all quite familiar with each other in the stronghold, and soon realized that as long as Long Batian wasn’t here, the other person must have already broken through to the Emperor Level.

While everyone was puzzled, a young girl seemed to have thought of something, and she said in shock, "Could it be Long Elder’s disciple, Chu Shenzi?"

Only then did everyone come to their senses. The other had been here for half a month but only showed their face once, so it was quite normal for them not to think of it right away.

"No, Chu Shenzi was only at the fifth rank of the Emperor Level back then. How could he possibly break through five minor realms in just half a month?"

"I know. It must be the Divine Guard of Lord Divine Son undergoing the Emperor Tribulation."

While everyone was talking, Su Zixuan and Shi Feng walked over at this time.

Everyone was stunned at this sight, and for a moment, fell into silence.

Even using the method of elimination, everyone now knew the result.

"How is this possible, in just a brief half month, breaking through several minor realms consecutively, such talent is terribly terrifying."

"Indeed, even a Soul Pupil couldn’t cultivate so quickly, could they?"

"Chu Shenzi can defeat Emperor Levels wielding reverse potential, faster cultivation speed is normal. After all, the world of geniuses is beyond our ordinary people’s understanding."

While everyone was discussing, the black cloud in the sky began to gather rapidly.

"Look quickly, what’s that?" A young man pointed to the sky in surprise.

At this point, the black cloud rapidly condensed, in just a few breaths it had formed a colossal human face stretching ten thousand feet across.

This human face was extremely blurry, yet everyone could clearly feel the evil aura emanating from it as it opened its mouth and let out a chilling laugh.

Seeing this, everyone showed expressions of horror. Some of the less powerful talents had already turned pale with fright, and the group of young girls embraced each other, not daring to look at the sky.

"This Emperor Tribulation is too terrifying. I definitely don’t want to undergo the Emperor Tribulation in the future."

"Humph! Keep dreaming, focus on cultivating to King Level first."

At this moment, Elder Li was staring intently at the human face in the sky, his eyes filled with terror.

The woman beside Elder Li seemed to sense something unusual about him and quickly asked, "Elder Li, is there something wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Li replied in a trembling voice, "The ten-thousand-feet Heart Demon Tribulation, is it really true?"

"Elder Li, is there a difference between other people’s Emperor Tribulations and Lord Divine Son’s Emperor Tribulation?"

"Yes, Emperor Tribulations also have different levels. For ordinary Beast Masters, the Emperor Tribulation is only a hundred feet in size; for some talented individuals, it reaches a thousand feet; but the ten-thousand-feet Emperor Tribulation is only encountered by those of extraordinary brilliance. I have only seen it in ancient books from the Secret Realm. At the time, I thought it was just a legend, but didn’t expect it to be true."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman’s face changed, and she hurriedly asked, "If that’s so, then isn’t the ten-thousand-feet Heart Demon Tribulation extremely terrifying?"

With a solemn expression, Elder Li replied, "According to ancient records, no one has ever successfully passed the ten-thousand-feet Heart Demon Tribulation. Of those who have failed, ninety percent went insane, and the remaining ten percent developed heart demons, remaining at the peak emperor level for life."

"What? Doesn’t that mean Lord Divine Son is in grave danger?"

Elder Li nodded gravely.

The two did not deliberately lower their voices, and everyone here was accomplished in cultivation, so naturally, everyone heard their conversation clearly.

The atmosphere around them instantly became deathly silent.
