CHAPTER 480: CHAPTER 350: WHO IS THE TRUE KING OF THE FOREST

Chen Minzhi sat upon the back of the Purple Micro Alabaster Elephant, his thoughts wandering into the past.

The Chen Family of King Kaijiang, in Beiqing, was considered nobility. His father held a high position, and although Chen Minzhi was the second son of the main branch, he didn’t possess the natural talent for Martial Arts Cultivation like his elder brother. However, his ambition was great. Since childhood, he had aspired to stand out and secure a place for himself in Beiqing.

His elder brother noticed his ambitions and happened to discover the location of the Ancient Hundred Beasts Sect’s sect ruins in an ancient book from the Hunyuan Sect.

After learning this news, Chen Minzhi went to the Ancient Forest, only to be attacked by the Spiritual Beasts of the forest, narrowly escaping death.

It was then that he met Aguduo.

Aguduo, sitting upon the back of the Purple Micro Alabaster Elephant, looked every bit the king, and from that moment, Chen Minzhi resolved to attain the inheritance of the Hundred Beasts Sect.

After waiting for half a year, he finally got his chance.

Ahead lay the nest of the Purple Micro Alabaster Elephant.

Next to the elephant’s nest, there used to be tall banana trees, but now, they had been cleared away.

At the center of the nest was a pond—that was the Secret Blood Pool that Chen Minzhi had expended much effort to create, taking nearly half a month to construct.

Gurgling noises emanated from the pond.

It was like a boiling cauldron, with bubbles ceaselessly tumbling, only it wasn’t water that was boiling but rather viscous blood.

The blood of hundreds of Spiritual Beasts had been poured into this pond, and the thick scent of blood in the air made it difficult to breathe.

To obtain the inheritance secret technique of the Hundred Beasts Sect required the blood of hundreds of Spiritual Beasts and a strand of Aguduo’s hair.

At this moment, two-thirds of the blood in the entire pond had already dried up.

Chen Minzhi stood beside the Blood Pool and took a deep breath.

The thick, nauseating stench of blood seemed to him like a delicacy of the mortal world. He even extended his tongue to lick his lips.

He could feel that as the level of blood-water decreased, the essence of the Beast Blood in the Secret Blood Pool was gathering within his limbs and bones.

Relying on this secret technique, he had advanced from an Elixir Realm Martial Artist to the Reincarnation First Path in just half a month. Once the Blood Pool was completely absorbed, he could even break through directly to the Reincarnation Second Realm.

With the strength of the Reincarnation Second Path, he would be able to return to Beiqing Imperial City and participate in the once-every-three-years adventure to the Xingxiu Cave.

"Just a little over an hour left, from now on, I, Chen Minzhi, will be the king of the entire Ancient Forest." As the Hundred Beasts Blood completely dried up, Chen Minzhi sat on the elephant’s back and let out a long sigh.

"Chen Minzhi, do you think you’re worthy!"

An abrupt shout startled Chen Minzhi, his smiling face freezing.

He hesitantly turned around, in disbelief seeing a woman descending from the sky.

"Aguduo! You’re still alive?"

His face filled with incredulity.

Just this morning, his personal soldiers had reported back—the cave had completely collapsed, and everything inside was reduced to ashes.

"Of course you wish I were dead. Let me tell you, as long as I, Aguduo, still draw breath, you’ll never get to wreak havoc in the Ancient Forest," Aguduo retorted angrily.

"Tsks, Aguduo, you’re still so naive. Initially, you drove me out of the Ancient Forest because you possessed the inheritance power, but now, with your inheritance power gone, what right do you have to fight with me? Moreover, the Secret Blood Pool will soon be dry. The victor is king, and the loser is the vanquished—it’s a done deal," Chen Minzhi sneered with malice.

"That’s not necessarily true, she at least has us."

Suddenly, a clear and resonant shout was heard as Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er, among others, charged out.

Following them were the two elders of the He Family.

Chen Minzhi’s eyelids twitched, and his earlier arrogant smile had vanished.

Suddenly, he took out a Command Arrow and threw it into the sky.

Little did he know, someone was faster than him. Little Zhiyo did a 360-degree flip, grabbed the Command Arrow, and with its short legs scampering, loyally ran to Ye Lingyue’s side.

"Second Young Master, you wanted to summon your men. Too bad, right now they’re too preoccupied to care," Ye Lingyue toyed with the Kaijiang Prince Manor’s Command Arrow, her smile ambiguous.

"Second Young Master, things have turned sour, a large number of Alchemists have stormed in, they’ve taken the camp and..." Song Alchemist rushed in anxiously.

Upon seeing the scene before him, he froze on the spot.

Only then did Chen Minzhi realize that Aguduo and the others were well-prepared. On one hand, Ye Lingyue and Aguduo had detected the location of the Secret Technique; on the other hand, Jin Wu Old Monster, with over a hundred trained Combat Alchemists, mercenaries, and guards from the Kaijiang Prince Manor, had engaged in fierce battle.

Chen Minzhi’s face was devoid of any smile.

His gaze shifted from Aguduo to Ye Lingyue.

He realized that all these people were following the lead of this mysterious woman with her face wrapped in gauze.

"Enough, this young master has indeed underestimated your abilities. I originally intended to obtain the Inheritance Power and be done with it, not wishing to cause more killings. However, it’s you who have forced my hand, and now I have no choice but to embark on a killing spree. Aguduo, this is what you’ve brought upon yourself." Chen Minzhi’s smile was eerily cold as he suddenly stood up, his throat tensing, and let out a long cry that pierced the heavens.

When the long cry permeated the entire forest, Aguduo’s expression drastically changed.

Almost at the same time, Chen Minzhi’s aura surged, and the killing intent in his eyes was bone-chilling like icy blades.

In the Ancient Forest, a strange noise arose.

The sound was faint at first, but as time passed, it grew louder and louder.

It was the sound of countless Spiritual Beasts running, the sound of numerous spirit birds flapping their wings.

Except for Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya, all the Spiritual Beasts in the entire Ancient Forest received the command at the same time.

Kill!

Exterminate these intruders who have boldly entered the Ancient Forest.

Kill! Kill!

Wipe out the invaders who seek to plunder the Hundred Beasts Sect’s secret treasure.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

The Purple Micro Alabaster Elephant’s eyes also flashed with madness. It suddenly let out a loud cry, and an astounding Primordial Power, carrying with it a tremendous force, swept in.

Including Boss He and others, everyone felt a chilling shudder, and their breaths immediately became disordered.

"The ultimate inheritance of the Hundred Beasts Sect, no good, that is the Fifth-tier Martial Arts of the Hundred Beasts Sect, the Ten Thousand Beasts Roar!" Boss He and the others’ expressions changed drastically.

They had never imagined that Chen Minzhi, after utilizing the Secret Blood Pool, could grasp such profound Cultivation Techniques in just half a month.

The Ten Thousand Beasts galloped, and the whole Ancient Forest erupted into chaos.

In front of the Ten Thousand Beasts, Ye Lingyue and her companions were insignificant, just like ants.

"Aguduo, out of consideration for our past friendship, this young master will let your best companion, Da Zi, see you off," Chen Minzhi said, no longer resembling a human. His eyes gleamed with a wild beast’s glare. With a sudden sweep of his arm, the Ziwei Alabaster Elephant beneath him, like a massive wall, bore down on Aguduo with the force of a collapsing mountain.
