REBORN OF THE LEGENDARY BEAST MASTER-Chapter 39 - : Whispers of the Past

Li Jun stood amidst the scorched battlefield, the remains of the Abyssal Guardians dissolving into black mist.

The Forbidden Lands lived up to their name.

Every step forward was a step deeper into unknown dangers.

He took a deep breath and activated his All-Knowing Eye, scanning the surroundings.

[Current Location: Outer Region of the Forbidden Lands]

Threat Level: High

Environmental Status: Energy Distortion Detected

Ruins Entrance: Estimated 200 miles ahead

> 200 miles... but how many threats will I face before I get there?

The thought didn't shake his resolve.

He moved forward, his body tense, his senses sharp.

Then—

A whisper echoed through the air.

> "Return... Leave this place..."

Li Jun froze.

His eyes darted around, but there was nothing.

No life. No beasts. No humans.

Just the wind, carrying a voice that shouldn't exist.

> An illusion? Or something else?

His grip on his sword tightened.

Whatever this place was hiding... it didn't want him here.

A Trace of the Past

As he ventured deeper, he stumbled upon a broken stone tablet, half-buried in the ground.

He knelt and brushed off the dust, revealing faded inscriptions.

> "Beware... The Eternal Curse... The Forgotten King shall rise again..."

His expression darkened.

> The Forgotten King?

That name sounded familiar.

Then, a sudden vision flashed before his eyes—

A battlefield, thousands of years ago.

Beasts and humans slaughtered each other in endless war.

A towering figure clad in obsidian armor stood above them all.

With a single command, entire armies fell into darkness.

The Forgotten King.

The last ruler of the lost civilization.

And the one who vanished when the ruins were destroyed.

Li Jun's chest tightened.

> Is he... still here?

Before he could think further—

BOOM!

The ground beneath him collapsed, sending him plunging into darkness.

The Descent into the Unknown

He fell for what felt like an eternity—until suddenly, he hit solid ground.

His vision adjusted, revealing an underground chamber, filled with ancient statues and glowing glyphs.

This wasn't just a ruin.

> This was a tomb.

And judging by the overwhelming pressure in the air...

> Something was still alive down here.

He wasn't alone.
