198: Chapter 198 Is Barton, the King of Beasts, actually a pink pig?

Barton's roar, which blended the howling of a myriad of beasts, echoed through the Colosseum, filled with the fury of being underestimated: "Ant! Don't think that just because you can break the rules, you can truly defeat me! My power is far beyond your imagination!"

However, the reality of the battle ran completely counter to his roar.

Lu Chen's six SSS-rank legendary beast pets, like six unstoppable spears of divine punishment, led an elite beast horde of at least A-rank, violently tearing Barton's seemingly endless Five Elements beast tide to shreds!

Attribute counter?

Before absolute Bloodline rank and crushing power, Barton's meticulously arranged Five Elements rotation was violently dismantled!

"Damn it! This is impossible!"

Deep within the core of the beast tide torrent, the eyes of Barton's true body were filled with horror and incomprehension.

"He is clearly just an F-Rank Beast Tamer! Why are his beast pets at least A-rank? And his own attributes—how could they possibly reach the level of a Tier 7 Peak World Lord BOSS, even higher than mine?!"

It felt the number of its beast tide rapidly dwindling at a terrifying speed, and the wails and deaths transmitted through the Soul link made its heart skip a beat.

At this rate, it was only a matter of time before its army of hundreds of millions of beasts was completely slaughtered!

"No! This can't go on!"

Barton grew ruthless.

"Roar! Don't think you can defeat me like this! My true strength lies in the Fusion of hundreds of millions of Five Elements beast pets! Every single one can die in my place! I am immortal and indestructible within this domain!"

Suddenly,

the entire [Five Elements Beast Domain] boiled violently!

The remaining hundreds of millions of Five Elements beast pets seemed to receive an invisible summon, turning into a five-colored torrent that frantically surged toward the center of the battlefield, tangling and fusing with one another!

Light flashed violently, and energy surged!

A terrifying monster of unimaginable size, occupying nearly half of the Colosseum, suddenly appeared!

It resembled an ancient Taotie, with a hideous head and a giant mouth that seemed capable of swallowing heaven and earth. The scales all over its body shimmered with five-colored brilliance—gold, brown, red, blue, and green—representing the ultimate Power of the Five Elements circulating within it, radiating a suffocating pressure!

Even more troublesome, just as Barton had said, this Five Elements Taotie Giant Monster's life force was completely linked to his hundreds of millions of beast pets. To kill it, one would have to empty its massive health bar hundreds of millions of times!

Each "death" would only consume one beast pet acting as a "substitute".

"Master, this King of Beasts' ability is too bizarre and overbearing!"

Great Green blasted the giant monster with a bolt of divine lightning. Seeing its health bar instantly restored to full, his Dragon eyes turned solemn: "If we want to wear it down with brute force, even if we don't care about the consumption, it will take a lot of time! Unless... we can directly find its true body, drag it out, and deliver a fatal blow!"

Lu Chen frowned. "If we can't find the true body, then keep blasting it! All forces, hear my command, beat it to death!"

Rumble!

For the next five days, the Colosseum became a place of pure slaughter.

All the beast pets under Lu Chen's command, along with the Forbidden Spells he unleashed from time to time, poured destructive attacks like a torrential rain onto the Five Elements Taotie Giant Monster.

The giant monster's health bar was emptied time and again, only to be instantly refilled, repeating the cycle over and over.

It let out an angry yet slightly smug roar, swinging its giant claws to channel the Power of the Five Elements to counterattack. Although it couldn't deal a decisive blow to Lu Chen's beast tide, it successfully dragged the battle into an agonizing war of attrition.

"Roar! I told you! I am the King of Beasts! In this domain, no one can defeat me in a duel!"

Barton's voice came from within the giant monster, carrying a trace of anger, but mostly the arrogance of having victory in his grasp.

Just as Lu Chen was facing this turtle-shell tactic and contemplating whether to use more of his trump cards, an earthy-yellow figure stealthily slipped back to his side.

"Master! Master!"

Lao Liu, the Earth-Splitting Demon Mastiff, wagged its tail, its dog face filled with the excitement of finding a treasure, urgently transmitting information through its unique mental fluctuations: "I found a strange fellow!"

"Oh?"

Lu Chen's gaze focused.

As it turned out,

adhering to the essence of his favorite "anus-gouging tactic", Lao Liu had spent the past five days focusing his crazy damage output on the giant monster's relatively weak rear area.

During his persistent "gouging", he keenly noticed that a small-sized, cowering exotic beast was always hovering near the giant monster's buttocks.

This exotic beast was completely different from the other beast pets that fought fearlessly and attacked frantically; it seemed exceptionally cowardly, hiding in the deepest part of the beast crowd at the slightest sign of trouble.

Moreover, the other exotic beasts around it seemed to be consciously protecting it, using their own bodies to construct a defensive line for it.

This was highly unusual!

Hearing this, a flash of inspiration struck Lu Chen's mind, and all the clues instantly connected!

Barton had never appeared in human form and called himself the "King of Beasts", so it made more sense for his true body to be of the beast race!

This cowardly, heavily protected exotic beast was ninety-nine percent likely to be Barton's true body!

He was hiding in the safest and most unexpected "rear", commanding the entire situation!

"Lao Liu!"

Lu Chen's eyes shone brightly, and he patted the dog's head hard. "If that really is Barton's true body, you will take the top credit for this battle!"

Immediately after, a golden-red divine fire erupted all around Lu Chen!

Roar!

The Dragon's roar echoed again, and the [Power of Prairie Dragon Fire] was instantly triggered. Lu Chen's body expanded to its limit, transforming into a towering flame Dragon!

With a swing of his Dragon tail, he ignored the Five Elements Taotie Giant Monster's swinging claws, and with a clear target, lunged straight toward its rear area like lightning!

"Get the hell out here!"

The giant claws, burning with Dragon flames capable of incinerating all things, reached fiercely into the dense beast crowd along the direction pointed out by Lao Liu!

With absolute precision!

He grabbed the pink pig beast that was trying to burrow deeper!

"Puji!"

A terrified scream rang out.

In the next instant, the unimaginably massive and overwhelmingly powerful Five Elements Taotie Giant Monster, like a sandcastle with its skeleton pulled out, froze. Then, in a violent torrent of energy, it collapsed!

It reverted into countless bewildered and leaderless Five Elements beast pets, standing blankly in place.

This scene completely confirmed Lu Chen's conjecture!

"Damn mutt! To think you... you found my true body in such a despicable way!"

The pink pig beast struggled desperately in the Dragon claws, roaring in shame and anger at Lao Liu, who was grinning foolishly below as if claiming credit.

Lao Liu let out a proud "Awooo" and wagged his tail even more joyfully.

The Dragon that Lu Chen had transformed into lowered his head, his massive Dragon eyes playfully staring at this so-called "King of Beasts" in his claws. His tone carried a hint of teasing: "Barton, the King of Beasts, right? You're quite capable, actually wasting five days of my time."

Barton was both shocked and angry, but mostly aggrieved: "If your beast pet hadn't been lucky enough to find my true body in... in that way, I would never have lost!"

"The winner takes all; luck is also a part of strength."

Lu Chen's Dragon claws tightened slightly, his killing intent awe-inspiring. "King of Beasts, it's time to go on your way!"

"No!"

Puchi!

The dark-red spear light of the [god-slaying spear] flashed and vanished, easily piercing through Barton's undefended true body.

His struggles and roars came to an abrupt halt, and the light in his small eyes rapidly dimmed.

With the death of Barton's true body, the remaining hundreds of millions of Five Elements beast pets in the Colosseum, like a sand painting blown away by the wind, instantly turned into a sky full of light specks and vanished without a trace.

The entire Colosseum finally fell completely silent.

[Ding! Congratulations on defeating Barton, the King of Beasts, and passing the seventh round of the Colosseum!]

[Obtained: domain fragment X1!]

The cold system prompt sounded, and the seventh fragment, emitting the aura of the Chaos Beast Domain, fell into Lu Chen's hand.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the seventh round of the Colosseum. Do you wish to continue to the eighth round of the Colosseum?]

Lu Chen took a deep breath, suppressing the fatigue from the continuous fierce battle, his eyes still as sharp as a knife.

[Continue!]
