Chapter 2993: Chapter 2967: Familiar Ancient Technique (Part 1)
"Heh, pretentious monster, dare to reveal yourself and fight."
Ye Chen sneered, unwilling to waste words, and strode forward.
"Stubborn!"
That voice instantly erupted in anger, and with a shout, the walls on both sides of the tomb cracked open. Flying daggers carrying endless True Martial Intent frantically slashed out, aiming to dismember Ye Chen.
"Want to kill me?"
Ye Chen was well-prepared; he wielded the Slaughter Sword in his right hand and raised the Heavens-Splitting Divine Spear with his left hand, countering the daggers’ assault.
Clink, clink, clink!
All the flying daggers were knocked down to the ground by Ye Chen.
"Oh, you have some skills."
The voice expressed slight surprise.
"It seems the mechanisms of the tomb can’t harm you."
"In that case, I shall have to act personally."
"To die by my hand, you should be proud."
Rumble!
The void boomed, and the ground cracked.
A terrifying disturbance occurred underground as if a colossal entity was awakening from slumber, ready to burst forth.
Crunch!
A massive, fearsome, razor-sharp claw violently broke through the ground, dripping with blood!
Swoosh!
The enormous claw tore through the void, ferociously aiming for Ye Chen’s head, intending to crush it in one blow.
"What terrifying aura!"
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly; the aura attached to the giant claw likely reached a level akin to the Yan Tian Dragon God.
However, Ye Chen wasn’t afraid; he swung his sword fiercely, unleashing a seven-layered Blood Light explosion, wrapped in infinite spiritual pressure, as the Slaughter Sword in his hand slashed heavily onto the claw.
Twang!
The sword light exploded.
The beast’s claw bore a deep wound inflicted by Ye Chen, with scales splattering blood.
Even in the past, Ye Chen could fight against experts of this realm.
And now, he was close to the Chaos Realm, just a step away, his strength enhanced, making him fearless against such foes.
"Hmm? How is this possible!"
"You haven’t yet stepped into Chaos; why do you possess such combat strength!"
Beastly roars filled with immense dread echoed.
Crash!
A humanoid ferocious beast, towering and blood-red, broke through the floor and appeared before Ye Chen.
This humanoid beast stood about seven or eight meters tall, barely fitting within the tomb, forcing it to stoop. Its forehead bore a single horn, blood-red skin covered in scales with a pungent odor.
Its arms were long like an ape’s, almost touching the ground, its eyes fiery red, teeth like swords and halberds, extremely terrifying.
"What kind of ferocious beast is this?"
Ye Chen’s heart trembled, for he had never seen such a strange humanoid beast, carrying a hint of Outer Realm demonic qi!
He calculated frantically, trying to deduce the details of this humanoid beast, but the heavenly secrets were too ancient, and he gleaned nothing.
"Be careful, this is one of the Ancient Ten Evils, the Single-Horned Drought Demon!"
The voice of the Ancient Medical God echoed in Ye Chen’s mind.
"Ancient Ten Evils, Single-Horned Drought Demon?"
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed.
"These Ancient Ten Evils were among the ferocious beasts of the ancient Outer Heaven Demon; each possesses god-like might, their strength comparable to the peak god emperors of the Heavenly God Realm!"
"Comparable to god emperors?"
Ye Chen was greatly astonished.
The Ancient Ten Evils were so formidable, their strength comparable to the god emperors.
But now, he saw the aura of the Single-Horned Drought Demon, only at the first or second-level Heavenly God Realm, akin to the injured Yan Tian Dragon God, lacking the dignity of a god emperor.
"After the ancient war, the Ten Great Fierce Beasts were nearly all suppressed, and over countless years, their strength has greatly dwindled. But they are still mighty, so do not be careless!"
The Ancient Medical God cautioned.
It turned out this Single-Horned Drought Demon was the ferocious beast suppressed in the Chong Guang Burial Ground.
Seven great burial grounds in the Divine Kingdom, each suppressing a major evil.
Three other beasts vanished somewhere after defeat.
Swoosh!
While the Ancient Medical God was speaking, the Single-Horned Drought Demon attacked, crossing the void with a claw carrying Ancient Demonic Power, striking fiercely at Ye Chen’s heart.
"No matter the Ancient Ten Evils, now you’re but an ant!"
Ye Chen snorted, utterly unafraid, wielding his sword in a powerful slash.
After the endless ages of suppression, the majesty of the Ancient Great Calamity had completely eroded.
Now this Single-Horned Drought Demon had only early-stage Heavenly God Realm strength left.
With Ye Chen’s combat prowess, he was utterly fearless of such a beast.
Swish!
Ye Chen swung his sword, the sword light gleaming, instantly severing part of the Single-Horned Drought Demon.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
Blood oozed, emitting an extremely intense Calamity Energy, the surrounding stones instantly turned to scorched earth, emitting wisps of black smoke.
Single-Horned Drought Demon, this major ferocious beast carried terrifying Heavenly Calamities.
In ancient times, wherever the Single-Horned Drought Demon appeared, the land experienced droughts, nothing grew, stones burned, inundated with drought and calamity, truly horrifying.
With the erosion of time and eternal suppression, by today, the Single-Horned Drought Demon had lost ancient dignity, only leaving behind a hint of Heavenly Calamity Energy.
This small trace of Calamity Energy naturally posed no threat to Ye Chen.
"Brat, do you dare harm me?"
The Single-Horned Drought Demon cried out miserably, its wounds bleeding continuously.
In ancient times, it dominated the Divine Kingdom, its fierce might spanning the Universe, but today, it was injured by a lad not even fully in Chaos Realm, a tremendous humiliation!
"Haha, slaying an Ancient Great Calamity ought to earn immense merit, right?"
Ye Chen laughed coldly, suddenly leaping up with a sword carrying infinite spiritual pressure, slashing fiercely at the Single-Horned Drought Demon’s head.
"Screech!"
Suddenly, the Single-Horned Drought Demon opened its throat, emitting an immensely sharp sound piercing clouds and cracking stones.
A terrifying layer of black sound waves burst forth instantly.
The seals around the tomb were destroyed by the black sound waves in an instant, the entire tomb rumbled, seemingly on the verge of collapse, and the surrounding space continually crumbled and tore.
"Giant Elephant descends, suppresses the heavens and earth, Giant Elephant Sky Suppressing Technique, break!"
The Single-Horned Drought Demon’s eyes were blood-red, violently overwhelming sound waves surged wave after wave.
Roar!
Within the void, the roars of giant elephants resounded.
A majestic, towering image of a Hongmeng Giant Elephant appeared above the Single-Horned Drought Demon’s head, exhibiting divine might to suppress the heavens and earth.
Instantly, Ye Chen’s eardrums shook painfully, his heart and lungs nearly ruptured.
Under the shockwave of the sound wave, his mind conjured illusions of clashing swords, flying devils, asura roaring, sea of fire purgatory, and his meridians seemed torn by demonic qi, extremely painful.
"Thirty-Three Heavens Hongmeng Ancient Technique, it’s actually the Thirty-Three Heavens Hongmeng Ancient Technique!"
Ye Chen was profoundly stunned.
The giant elephant illusion above the Single-Horned Drought Demon’s head carried a monstrous Hongmeng Aura.
Ye Chen felt a familiar sensation because when he performed the Heavenly Dragon Eight Divine Sounds, he had this aura himself.
Evidently, the Giant Elephant Sky Suppressing Technique was the legendary Thirty-Three Heavens Hongmeng Ancient Technique!
