186: The Beast King's Altar has appeared!

A sharp light burst forth from Su Chen's eyes.

In the next instant, his massive figure seemed like a pencil drawing erased by a rubber, instantly blurring, collapsing, and merging into the shadow he cast, vanishing without a trace!

A-Rank Talent—Shadow Shuttle!

BOOM————————————————!!!!

The massive fist smashed heavily into empty space, and the terrifying energy poured out without reservation onto the already scarred Giant God Rock Reef below!

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK—!!!

Heaven and Earth shook violently!

The ancient reef, which had withstood countless Overlord-level impacts, finally let out its final lament!

Countless gigantic fissures, as thick as mountain ranges, spread wildly and fractured like a spiderweb, centered around the point of impact! The entire reef structure groaned, on the verge of complete disintegration!

"Shadow Shuttle?!"

The 100,000-meter Giant Ape King let out a sneer mixed with astonishment and fury, his crimson gaze sweeping towards Su Chen, who was slowly condensing into form from another shadow not far away.

"You little brat, you certainly have plenty of tricks for running away?! But that changes nothing! Death throes! How long do you think you can hide?!"

Su Chen raised his massive head, his cold compound eye reflecting the terrifying, heaven-reaching Giant Ape. The corner of his mouth curled into an arc of mockery and icy coldness:

"Flee? No, Giant Ape King... you are mistaken."

His voice was calm, yet carried a certainty that made Giant Ape King's heart inexplicably tighten.

"My objective... has already been achieved. For all this... I have you to thank."

"What?!"

Giant Ape King's massive pupil suddenly constricted. "What do you mean?!"

"It means—"

Su Chen's will, like a drawn sharp sword, fiercely struck out towards Chen Feng and the Dragon Blood Warriors hidden in various locations:

"Act now!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM—!!!!

All the specialized explosives that had been buried in the energy nodes of the Giant God Rock Reef were simultaneously and fiercely detonated by Chen Feng!

The power of this explosion was negligible to an Overlord, but at this moment, it became the final straw that broke the camel's back!

The Giant God Rock Reef, already riddled with cracks and on the verge of structural collapse, finally—under this destructive energy impact from both inside and out—

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE————————!!!!

Completely collapsed and disintegrated!!!

Countless boulders comparable to mountains caved inward, exposing a bottomless, massive black hole beneath, seemingly leading to Nine Nether Hell!

ROAR AOOO—!!!

HISS HISS HISS—!!!

SCREECH—!!!

The next moment, countless terrifying roars, mixed with extreme madness, murderous desire, and hunger,

erupted violently from the depths of the black hole, like a symphony from Hell!

The sound waves transformed into physical shockwaves, causing the seawater to roll back and the sky to change color!

The Sky-Rending Giant Ape King, Giant Ape King, watched the black hole spewing forth endless tyrannical aura. His massive body suddenly stiffened, his pupils instantly contracted to the extreme, and he let out a roar of utter horror:

"The seal! The seal of the Myriad Beast Sea's beast tide... has been broken?!"

"Are you insane?! Are you fucking insane?!"

In a flash of lightning, all the clues connected in his mind, forming a cold chain!

Su Chen killing his son yet not fleeing far away, waiting for him here, taking his attacks head-on repeatedly, relentlessly provoking him to exert force... everything was leading up to this moment!

This bastard... this lunatic!!!

He had been planning from the very beginning to use his Overlord power to break this forbidden seal!!!

He wanted to drag the entire Myriad Beast Sea... down with him?!

"I'll slaughter you—!!!"

Giant Ape King, who had figured everything out, had eyes splitting with rage and descended into complete madness!

He strode forward with his gigantic, pillar-like legs, churning the waters of the vast sea, rushing toward Su Chen recklessly!

He had to crush this menace into elemental particles before the beast tide fully erupted!

However—

Puch!

An Abyssal Crocodile Dragon, ten thousand meters long and covered in vicious bone spurs, suddenly shot out of the black hole and bit down fiercely on his ankle!

BOOM!

A monster shaped like a rotting giant whale, emitting an aura of plague, slammed viciously into his side!

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH! Countless flying fierce birds, like a black storm of death, launched suicidal charges toward his massive head and eyes!

Endless!

Every single one exuded the savage aura of the Awakening Level!

Like a frenzy released from Hell, they instantly... completely submerged the heaven-reaching Giant Ape King!

"Get lost! All of you, get lost!!!"

Giant Ape King furiously swung his massive arms; each strike cleared an area and crushed several fierce beasts.

But more fierce beasts immediately filled the void, rushing forward like a black tide to bite, collide, and restrain him!

They possessed no reason, only the most primal desire for destruction!

His advancing steps were... forcibly dragged to a halt by this endless beast tide!

...Above the horizon, the composure and mockery on the faces of the Four Great Beast Kings had vanished without a trace, replaced by unprecedented shock and... a hint of panic!

"He... he actually... detonated the beast tide?! Is he crazy?! Does he know what he's doing?!"

The Dragon Whale King let out an angry roar, the sound waves scattering the clouds.

"Bastard! We were all fooled by him! He didn't come here to compete for the inheritance at all; he came to destroy the very foundation of my Myriad Beast Sea!!" The Winged Dragon King's sharp claws ripped through space, its eyes filled with killing intent.

"Enough! What good is talking about this now?!"

The Heaven-Burning Vermilion Bird King's surrounding flames fluctuated violently, its voice carrying a hint of urgency. "The beast tide has erupted, and disaster has struck! To quell this catastrophe and prevent the Myriad Beast Sea from turning into scorched earth, there is only one way now..."

Its gaze, like that of the other three Beast Kings, abruptly shot toward the depths of the black hole from which the beast tide was surging!

Right at the core of the endless fierce beast frenzy, a gigantic altar, built entirely of unknown pale giant bones and emitting a vast, ancient, and majestic aura, was slowly rising from the dark depths!

Inscribed upon the altar were countless long-lost ancient beast patterns, and an Emperor's coercion, surpassing all sentient beings, descended with a roar, like an awakened Primordial Divine Mountain!

This was precisely the beast emperor altar, which was supposed to appear one month later, following ancient rules!

It had been forcibly awakened!

"The beast emperor altar!! It's the beast emperor altar!"

The Abyssal Ghost Eel King let out a greedy hiss, its cold eyes instantly filled with fervor. "The altar appeared early, and the rules have been broken! That damned age restriction... is gone!!"

Its voice trembled with excitement:

"We! We old guys can also participate in the trial! Although the difficulty of the trial has increased by more than a hundredfold, as long as we can seize the beast emperor inheritance, we can control the authority over all beasts! This world-destroying beast tide... can instantly be transformed into the strongest army under our command!!"

No more words were needed!

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Four streaks of light, each a different color yet all containing terrifying energy, tore through the sky like four retrograde meteors, ignoring the surging beast tide below, and shot wildly at the fastest speed toward the beast emperor altar suspended in the center of the catastrophe!
