Chapter 519: Primal Beast Enclave

Elder Ghost, with a calm tone, said, “And this is only the beginning.”

‘Blood God, bless your children and make them even stronger.’

‘Swiish’

As soon as Elder Ghost finished his words, he made more cuts on his body as he offered more blood to the Special Last Breath Totems in the ritual circle.

‘Swiish’

At the same time, outside Greenfire Town, a blood-coloured light descended from the sky and fell on the 208 humanoid blood monsters.

‘Kacha’

‘Kacha’

Soon, the Blood Monsters grew in size as they reached 20 meters, which was double their original height.

“T-this…did they receive some kind of blessing to increase their battle prowess?”

Even without any explanation, Theodore could guess that not only did the 208 Blood Monsters have the strength of a Perfected Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator, but their battle prowess was further boosted.

“Is this the true power of the Bloodclaw Tribe? No wonder the Greenfire Sect gave up on us.”

Only after witnessing the 208 Blood Monsters in the distance, Theodore realised how powerful the Bloodclaw Tribe was.

‘So, how powerful was the Green Lotus Tribe back then that the Bloodclaw Tribe had to form an alliance with the other two Hermit Tribes?’

At the same time, thinking about his origins, Theodore felt proud.

That’s right! He felt proud despite his current situation, where the Lin Family might get wiped out at any moment now.

The reason behind his confidence was none other than Ethan. Before Ethan left Greenspire Town, he had assured that he would protect the Lin Family at any cost.

Initially, he was doubtful of his words; however, after seeing the appearance of the Blood Dragons and an invincible Undead Skeletal Army, Theodore had full trust in Ethan’s words.

……

A few minutes ago,

In the Primordial Beast Realm,

After receiving Ethan’s order, Shadow Bee returned to the Primordial Beast Realm and met Ethan.

And the first question he asked Ethan after meeting him was, “Brother Ethan, are you really not going to the Lin Family to help them?”

“There is no need for me to go there as I have taken care of everything on their side.”

Ethan replied with a smile and assured, “If I am not wrong, you must be receiving updates regarding what is happening over there, right?”

During his stay in the Lin Family, Shadow Bee had not only befriended Elias but also several other Foundation Establishment Realm elders.

So, Ethan knew Shadow Bee was receiving live updates from the battlefield.

“Yes, Brother. I already knew about the Blood Dragons, but I was not expecting my brother to have such a powerful undead army under his command.”

Shadow Bee nodded his head with a smile; however, he was still worried about the Lin Family.

If there was anyone who truly knew how powerful the Bloodclaw Tribe was, it would be Shadow Bee, as he watched how his tribe was massacred by them.

So, despite learning about Ethan’s trump cards, Shadow Bee was still worried, as the Bloodclaw Tribe had their own trump cards.

‘Triing’

Suddenly, Shadow Bee’s communication talisman rang, and he immediately activated it and learned more information.

“Brother Ethan, bad news…bad news.”

As soon as he heard the voice from the other side, Shadow Bee became anxious as he hurriedly informed Ethan, “The Bloodclaw Tribe has finally activated their Forbidden Trump Card and created……

“…..created 208 Humanoid Blood Monsters with a strength of Perfected Nascent Soul Realm.”

Before Shadow Bee could finish his words, Ethan interrupted, completing what Shadow Bee was trying to inform him.

“Y-you…Brother Ethan, how did you know about it?”

Seeing how Ethan was able to tell the exact situation at the Lin Family without any external items like a communication talisman or other items, Shadow Bee was shocked and hurriedly asked.

Unlike Shadow Bee, who was getting live updates, Ethan was watching everything through the eyes of his Undead Avatar.

Even though he could use his First Avatar Skill to directly descend into his Undead Avatar, Ethan was curious about how well his Undead Avatar could make his own decisions.

He was confident that his Undead Avatar would take care of whatever situation occurred outside Greenspire Town.

Of course, if things went out of hand, Ethan could use his Avatar Skill: Soul Descent to take control of the Undead Avatar before actively participating in the war.

‘I hope things won’t go that far.’

Nevertheless, Ethan wanted Dark Overlord to finish the war just like he planned, as he had other things to take care of in the meantime.

“I have my means.”

Ethan smiled mysteriously, but he didn’t explain, and assured Shadow Bee one last time, “It is just 208 Perfected Nascent Soul Realm Monsters. My Undead Ava…..Dark Overlord will take care of them with his Undead Skeletal Army.”

“Since Brother Ethan is confident, I will stop worrying about the Lin Family.”

Shadow Bee looked at Ethan for a moment before nodding his head.

Ethan smiled faintly and asked, “So, are you ready to break through to the Golden Core Realm?”

“Yes, Brother,” Shadow Bee replied with barely contained excitement, his voice trembling slightly from anticipation.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time, and it had finally come. So, of course, he was excited thinking about his Golden Core Realm breakthrough.

‘I wonder what kind of Special Skill and Bloodline I will awaken.’

All the Hermit Tribe Members, when breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, would awaken the Bloodline and the Special Skill related to the Secret Enclave, which was directly connected to their tribe.

Even in those bloodlines and special skills, there were many types and varieties, and Shadow Bee always longed for them as it was the only way for him to become stronger before taking revenge on the Bloodclaw Tribe.

“Good. Then let’s go to your tribe’s Secret Enclave.”

Ethan smiled and asked him to guide him to his tribe because only Shadow Bee knew its location.

Of course, the other two Hermit Tribes also knew it because that’s how they were able to massacre the Primal Beast Tribe.

‘Swiish’

‘Swiish’

Without wasting any more time, Ethan followed Shadow Bee as they left the Primordial Beast Realm. The two streaked across the skies, their figures blurring into afterimages before vanishing from sight.

Their destination—Primal Beast Enclave, the hidden sanctuary of Shadow Bee’s tribe.

As for the 208 Humanoid Blood Monsters currently marching toward Greenspire Town, Ethan didn’t spare them a second thought.

His trust in the Undead Avatar—Dark Overlord—was absolute. No matter how terrifying the enemy looked, Ethan believed they would be crushed exactly as planned.

Right now, his focus was on something else entirely—completing one of his two long-standing system missions:

[Help Shadow Bee complete his breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm]

“Brother Ethan, we are here.”

In less than 10 minutes, they reached the location, and Ethan was a little surprised to find that the Primal Beast Enclave was so close to the Primordial Beast Realm.

However, when he thought back to the era when the Primal Beast Tribe ruled over the entire Primordial Beast Realm, his surprise quickly faded.

It made sense—back then, this enclave would have been the beating heart of their power.

Shadow Bee led him to what appeared to be nothing more than a serene, sunlit forest.

Birds chirped lazily in the trees, a cool breeze carried the scent of moss and earth, and a shallow stream trickled by.

To anyone else, it was just another patch of peaceful wilderness.

But Ethan’s senses told him otherwise because he felt that this place rejected him, not with hostility, but with subtle misdirection, like an unseen hand gently nudging him away from certain spots.

Shadow Bee stopped and began to explain,

“Brother, this is the outer veil. You must have felt a slight rejection from it, right?”

Shadow Bee smiled when he saw Ethan frown as he explained, “The Primal Beast Enclave is hidden behind three layers of protection.

“First, a camouflage barrier that perfectly blends it into the surroundings; second, an illusion barrier that confuses the senses and makes intruders wander in circles; and finally, a protective barrier that stops anyone without permission from taking even a single step inside.”

He turned to Ethan and extended his hand.

“Brother, please hold my hand. Otherwise, you’ll get lost in the various barriers around the Secret Enclave.”

Ethan glanced at the extended hand, then back at the seemingly harmless forest.

Shadow Bee added,

“To enter any Hermit Tribe, you must possess the tribe’s bloodline. Outsiders can only enter if they’re physically brought in by a tribe member, and that tribe member must completely trust the person they’re bringing.”

Ethan was about to take Shadow Bee’s hand when his mind caught on a detail from those words.

His eyes lit up slightly, thinking about something.

‘So… complete trust is the key… and the trust is acknowledged by the enclave itself? So, the Primal Beast Tribe has brought the disaster upon themselves.’

At the same time, he thought of the Primal Beast Tribe’s massacre.

Even though he had many questions regarding that tribe’s massacre, Ethan didn’t ask Shadow Bee.

He decided to wait until Shadow Bee successfully completed his breakthrough.

“Brother Ethan, what’s wrong?”

Seeing that Ethan didn’t hold his hand, Shadow Bee asked.

“So, you are telling me that as long as one has the Primal Beast Tribe’s blood or a Bloodline, they can enter the Primal Beast Enclave without any issues, right?”

Shaking off his thoughts, Ethan asked Shadow Bee with a slight smile.

“Yes, Brother Ethan.”

Shadow Bee nodded, and in the next second, he saw Ethan nod his head and walk into the serene-looking forest without holding Shadow Bee’s hand.

To Shadow Bee’s shock, Ethan really entered the Primal Beast Enclave without any issues.
