197: Chapter 197 King of Beasts

Inside the Colosseum, the light symbolizing the Reincarnation of light and darkness slowly dissipated.

Seraphina's figure finally turned into specks of stardust.

Only a [domain fragment] exuding a hazy light and dark aura remained, suspended in the air.

Lu Chen reached out and took it into his hand; this was the sixth fragment.

He let out a long breath of stale air.

Four whole days!

Without sleep or rest, with high mental concentration, cooperating tacitly with the Void-Eye White Tiger, and even using the [beast god medal] midway to reset the cooldown of key skills, he had only just managed to grind this Reincarnation Tamer to death!

"Four days, just to kill her..."

Lu Chen muttered to himself, his brows slightly furrowed: "Reincarnation Tamer, this hidden profession is truly ridiculously powerful. The intensity of this Tier 8 advancement mission is much harder than any previous advancement; it's not even on the same magnitude."

"Master!"

The Void-Eye White Tiger's low voice sounded, carrying a hint of gravity: "Normally, the Colosseum wouldn't arrange such a high-intensity Tier 8 opponent before the final tenth round. Your advancement mission has had its intensity abnormally raised since the fourth round. I fear... there is another reason behind this."

Lu Chen's eyes sharpened: "What do you mean?"

"Subsequent opponents will only get stronger, and the time consumed may increase exponentially."

The Void-Eye White Tiger analyzed: "If that's the case, wanting to complete all ten rounds in the remaining eighteen days, I fear... time will be very tight."

Lu Chen was silent for a moment: "No matter! If there is truly not enough time, I will just give up the final round! Completing six rounds is enough for advancement; it just means the rewards and attributes will be slightly worse. Strength, in the end, must be consolidated step by step by oneself; there is no need to be overly obsessed with perfection."

His determination was firm, and he weighed the pros and cons in an instant.

After a brief rest, he looked burning with intensity deep into the Colosseum, where the seventh gate was slowly opening with a roar that shook the earth!

"Come on! Let me see what kind of monster the seventh round is!"

[Seventh Round of the Colosseum, begins!]

[Opponent: King of Beasts · Barton (Tier 8)]

From behind the gate came not the roar of a single Vicious Beast, but... the roar of ten thousand beasts stampeding!

Rumble!

Like a bursting flood, or a tidal wave sweeping across the world!

First to surge out were the Metal-attribute Vicious Beasts, like a torrent of metal with sharp, cold claws and teeth, of many varieties!

Following closely behind were various Earth-attribute Vicious Beasts, heavy and sturdy like moving fortresses!

The sky was instantly dyed red as countless Fire-attribute Vicious Beasts with burning feathers blotted out the sun!

Water flowed from the ground, and a large number of Water-attribute Vicious Beasts charged out!

Even more emerald halos lit up among the herd; those were the Wood-attribute Vicious Beasts skilled in healing, chanting!

Metal, Earth, Fire, Water, Wood!

Five attributes, five types of various fierce Vicious Beasts, distinct yet echoing each other, formed a disciplined, massive, and powerful army of beasts, instantly filling the vast field of vision of the Colosseum!

And the King of Beasts, Barton, hid among them, not revealing his true form.

"Roar! No opponent can defeat me in a one-on-one!"

Within the herd, a sturdy Metal-Blade Wolf actually spoke human language, emitting Barton's roar full of wildness and pride.

"Because, I am the beasts! I am—the King of Beasts, Barton!"

Before the words finished, Barton roared up to the sky, and the true power of his Domain erupted!

[Five Elements Beast Domain]!

Hum!

The space of the Colosseum seemed to be forcibly expanded several times over. On the earth, gold and iron horses, beacon fires everywhere, towering giant trees, overflowing marshes... The Five Elements elements intertwined, forming a violent world exclusive to beasts!

"Summon! My children!"

Barton's four sturdy arms hammered his chest, making a sound like war drums!

In an instant, around his massive beast body, the Void Realm opened up countless portals like a beehive, and more, stronger, and purer-attribute Five Elements beasts surged out as if endless!

Millions?

More than millions!

The number was like the sands of the Ganges, instantly forming a standoff with Lu Chen's army of 60 million pet beasts, and even... visually forming a counter-pressure!

For the first time, Lu Chen's tide of 60 million beasts lost its absolute advantage in numbers!

"Master!"

Great Green circled above Lu Chen's head, its Dragon eyes filled with unprecedented gravity: "This Five Elements Beast Tamer is even more troublesome than the Reincarnation Tamer. This talent for summoning a beast tide... is simply born for war!"

Lu Chen stood amidst the thousands of pet beasts, his clothes fluttering in the violent hurricane of beast aura.

His eyes were like lightning, sweeping across the vast sea of beasts where the main body could not be distinguished at all. The [Eye of the Ringed Heavens] was operating at full power, yet it could not lock onto Barton's true form.

"Can't find the main body?"

Lu Chen snorted coldly. Not only was he not discouraged in the slightest, but his eyes burned with a scorching Battle Intent that could burn down the wilderness.

"Then... kill them all!"

He suddenly raised his arm, his voice like a drawn sword, cutting through the roar of the ten thousand beasts:

"Since he likes beast tides..."

"Then let him see what a true—flood of destruction is!"

"All troops—charge!"

"Roar—!!!"

The Azure Dragon Great Green emitted a dragon roar that shook the heavens, being the first to crash into the golden wolf pack!

"Awoo—!"

The Void-Eye White Tiger turned into a white grim reaper, [Time Void Eye Domain] distorting time and space. As its tiger claws swung, swaths of Rock-Armor Giant Rhinos were torn to shreds!

"Screech—!"

The Abyssal Vermilion Bird invoked the Abyssal Fire. With a spread of its wings, a sea of fire descended, colliding with the flock of Fire-Eagle in the sky, burning out a vacuum zone!

"Boom—!"

The fourth, the Giant Whirlpool Alligator Turtle, was like a stabilizing needle, forming a huge water tornado, fiercely blowing away the beasts trying to approach!

"Squeak—!"

The fifth, the Bone-Eroding Ice Demon Ant, led the Ice-Blast Legion, turning into a blue tide of death. Wherever it passed, everything froze, and then shattered!

"Woof—!"

The sixth, the Earth-Splitting Demon Mastiff, was the most excited. [Earth-Splitting Clone] was activated, and dozens of Clones rushed into the enemy formation like meat grinders. [War Stomp] and claw tearing stirred up a sky of blood rain!

The six main pet beasts once again displayed their Divine Abilities, each leading their most elite pet beast legions, like six red-hot sharp knives, fiercely stabbing into Barton's colorful, five-colored beast tide!

An unprecedented, large-scale beast tide melee exceeding hundreds of millions erupted in this ancient Colosseum!

Gold and iron clashing! Elemental explosions! Flesh and blood flying! Roars shaking the sky!

At this moment,

What skills, what tactics, all seemed to have lost their meaning.

Only the most primitive, most savage, most violent collision of strength!

Lu Chen stood in the center of the battlefield, the god-slaying spear already in hand, his eyes cold as an ancient abyss.

He didn't care about consumption.

He just wanted to use the most direct way to tell this self-proclaimed King of Beasts that in the face of powerful strength, numbers were never the key to determining victory!

"Barton!"

Lu Chen's voice pierced through the chaotic battlefield:

"After this battle, there will only be one King of Beasts in this world, and that is me—Lu Chen!"

"No need to search for your true body, because I will annihilate you along with all your pet beasts!"
