124: Breaking through the shackles! Black Tortoise Bloodline!

Lu Chuan's sudden appearance startled the Giant Rhinoceros King.

The Rhinoceros King hadn't expected a fierce beast of such a formidable Realm to appear behind him without a sound.

Most importantly, as a rhinoceros that had reached the ninth level of the Awakening Realm, its armor was incredibly tough.

But Lu Chuan's sharp claws were even tougher, effortlessly piercing its defense.

The most crucial thing was having its neck bitten by the giant wolf, which made the rhinoceros feel the fear of death.

At this critical moment, a power exceeding its limit erupted from within its body!

The Rhinoceros King twisted its massive body violently, releasing immense force, and managed to break free from Lu Chuan for a moment.

However, because of this, Lu Chuan directly tore a large chunk of flesh and blood from the rhinoceros's neck.

Immediately, large amounts of fresh blood gushed out from the wound.

For a moment, it seemed as if it was raining blood in the sky.

The Rhinoceros King was terrified. It knew it was no match for Lu Chuan, and driven by the instinct for survival, it frantically fled outwards.

However, with Lu Chuan's return to the Qinling Mountains, Tam immediately became emboldened.

"Weren't you very arrogant just now? Where do you think you're running?!"

Whoosh!

A sound of tearing air rang out as Tam's scarlet tongue lashed out, wrapping around the Rhinoceros King's hind leg.

However, it was clear that Lu Chuan's appearance had made Tam a bit carried away; it had overestimated its own strength.

The Rhinoceros King, at the ninth level of the Awakening Realm, was originally a powerful fierce beast known for its physical strength.

Even before the spiritual energy recovery, rhinoceroses were already top-tier powerhouses, second only to elephants.

After the spiritual energy recovery, its immense strength was extraordinarily terrifying; even Lu Chuan had been caught off guard and broken free from by the Rhinoceros King just now.

Tam not only failed to hold onto the Rhinoceros King this time but was instead dragged by its tongue by the opponent.

Tam was dragged across the ground, creating aRavine, looking utterly disheveled and pathetic.

"You dead toad! You really don't know your own limits!"

Nine-Tails, standing on top of Tam's head, stumbled and fell to the ground because of this, and was so angry that she immediately started cursing.

Lu Chuan saw this scene and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

But then he followed closely behind the Rhinoceros King, without rushing.

A large piece of flesh and blood had been torn from the Rhinoceros King's neck, injuring the main artery.

The fresh blood was gushing out like a waterfall. Once enough blood was lost, the Rhinoceros King would be like a spent arrow, ready to be slaughtered.

The reason it was still so fierce now was nothing more than a final burst of energy before death.

This was all experience Lu Chuan had accumulated from hunting every day in the snowy mountains before.

Even with the spiritual energy recovery, the fundamental principles remained the same; ultimately, the basic structure of living beings hadn't changed much.

Indeed, as soon as the Rhinoceros King escaped the valley, its galloping speed noticeably slowed down.

It was constantly panting white mist from its large nostrils, its eyes filled with terror.

"Please! Don't kill me!"

Under the threat of death, the arrogant Rhinoceros King actually knelt down on all fours.

Its eyes, looking at Lu Chuan, were full of pleading, completely devoid of its previous arrogance.

"Boss! How should we deal with this guy?"

Tam jumped over, asking while stroking his tongue.

"An existence at the ninth level of the Awakening Realm, with considerable strength..."

"Its meat must be good, let's eat it."

Lu Chuan's words effectively sentenced the Rhinoceros King to death.

Upon receiving Lu Chuan's command, a sinister smile immediately flashed across Tam's face.

"Hehe, I told you not to provoke us, or my boss would make you pay."

"This is all your own doing!"

Tam's eyes filled with killing intent as he walked towards the Rhinoceros King.

He had just been dragged by the Rhinoceros King's tongue, plowing the entire valley floor, and Tam's eyes were now full of resentment.

However, at this moment, the Rhinoceros King, who had just been kneeling and begging for mercy, suddenly had its pleading gaze turn sinister.

The next second, its horn on top of its head instantly gathered energy frantically, and the silver-gray horn emitted a terrifying light at this moment.

Immediately after, the Rhinoceros King charged at the unsuspecting Tam like a speeding tank.

With its powerful charge, if it hit, Tam would surely be impaled by the horn, and even if he didn't die, he would be severely injured.

Tam was startled, completely not expecting the Rhinoceros King to counterattack before dying; he didn't react for a moment.

Fortunately, Lu Chuan's figure was like a ghost, instantly appearing to the side and slightly in front of the Rhinoceros King's body.

Immediately after, terrifying power surged onto his wolf claws, Lu Chuan's muscles tensed, and he directly sent the mountain-like Rhinoceros King flying!

Then, a silver dragon descended from the sky, and terrifying lightning power struck the Rhinoceros King's body, completely depriving it of its last bit of fighting strength.

"Damn it! You actually dared to play dirty with me!"

Tam cursed at the Rhinoceros King in anger, his heart filled with lingering fear at this moment.

If Lu Chuan hadn't acted in time just now, he might have already lost his life!

Lu Chuan also gave Tam the opportunity to kill the Rhinoceros King, allowing him to get revenge.

Tam came to the Rhinoceros King's side, his scarlet tongue shot out instantly, and following the wound Lu Chuan had torn, it pierced the Rhinoceros King's throat, completely extinguishing its life force.

Having dealt with this Beast King at the ninth level of the Awakening Realm, Lu Chuan immediately began to eat.

Previously in the Northeast Mountains, Lu Chuan had accumulated quite a few evolution points, and was only a part away from successfully breaking through to the next level.

"Ding, Devour successful, adding 1500 evolution points..."

After eating a portion of the rhinoceros meat, Lu Chuan directly gained tens of thousands of evolution points.

He immediately opened the System attribute panel, and indeed, he had now gathered six hundred thousand evolution points.

Lu Chuan slowly exhaled a turbid breath, his heart beginning to beat faster with excitement.

Lu Chuan didn't know if he was currently the first Beast King to break through to the Shackled Realm.

But there was no doubt that his strength would soon experience a leap forward!

Advance!

Lu Chuan didn't hesitate, directly going all in with the six hundred thousand evolution points!

"Ding, Congratulations to the host, you have advanced to the first level of the Shackled Realm!"

As the System prompt sounded, Lu Chuan instantly felt countless strange powers surging within his body!

These powers penetrated deep into his limbs and bones, deep into his bone marrow and organs, and even into every single cell!

Although Lu Chuan's size didn't significantly increase compared to before.

However, the internal structure of his body had undergone earth-shattering changes!

Lu Chuan found that he seemed to have gained the ability of 'internal sight' like in the martial arts novels of his previous life.

Even with his eyes closed, he could see the condition of his own body!

At this moment, Lu Chuan discovered that in various parts of his body, there were extra shackles of different colors.

He counted carefully, and there were a total of nine of these peculiar shackles.

Furthermore, he could feel that each time he broke a shackle from now on.

His strength would increase significantly!

The Aura that erupted from Lu Chuan during this evolution was extremely powerful!

The Awakening Realm and the Shackled Realm were completely different Realms.

Lu Chuan's entire body had undergone earth-shattering changes!

Tam and Nine-Tails, who were still eating nearby, were both stunned by the Aura emanating from Lu Chuan at this moment.

Their eyes widened, and their jaws were about to drop.

They were still only at the Peak of the eighth level of the Awakening Realm, not even having broken through to the ninth level of the Awakening Realm.

They hadn't expected Lu Chuan to have already successfully evolved into a top-tier powerhouse of the Shackled Realm so quickly!

"Oh my goodness, as expected of our boss, he has broken through again!"

"If I remember correctly, when we first met boss, we seemed to be at the same Realm, right?!"

Tam's eyes, looking at Lu Chuan, were filled with reverence.

"Bah, you ugly toad, you're not worthy of comparing yourself to boss, why don't you go look in the lake!"

"A divine and extraordinary snow wolf like boss is the strongest Beast King in the world."

The Nine-Tailed Fox beside him stared blankly at Lu Chuan, her purple eyes filled with adoration.

Lu Chuan slowly opened his eyes at this moment, and his snow-white body was shimmering with rays of light.

His silver-white fur glowed brilliantly under the sunlight.

He was like a small sun, radiating boundless light, and vast energy was constantly being released from within his body.

It seemed that even the surrounding vegetation felt the immense vitality within Lu Chuan and began to grow wildly!

Lu Chuan couldn't help but sigh, this Shackled Realm was definitely a watershed!

After reaching this Realm, even if not a bird, even without Awakening the power of stepping on the sky, one could still fly in the air!

Furthermore, Lu Chuan discovered that a spherical object had formed within his body after the Breakthrough, which seemed like the demon core from myths and legends.

And Lu Chuan could control the self-detonation of this demon core. After reaching the Shackled Realm, he could also use external spiritual power projection.

Lu Chuan had a premonition that perhaps above the Shackled Realm, the wars between fierce beasts would slowly cease to be traditional close-quarters combat.

"Right, how is the situation with Xiong Da?"

"Don't worry, boss, the rhinoceros was lured away by me and Nine-Tails. Xiong Da and the others are only dealing with three guys at the eighth level of the Awakening Realm, so there shouldn't be any danger."

"But that rhinoceros just said that it had a backer..."

Tam frowned at this moment. They had been fighting for so long, but he hadn't seen the existence behind the rhinoceros.

A hint of curiosity also flashed in Lu Chuan's eyes.

"This Rhinoceros King is already at the ninth level of the Awakening Realm, could it be that there is also a powerhouse at the Shackled Realm behind it?"

Lu Chuan had now successfully broken through, so he naturally wouldn't fear other Shackled Realm fierce beasts.

However, knowing oneself and the enemy ensures victory in every battle.

Lu Chuan still asked Li Shan from Mount Dagong to go and ask his sister again.

After learning Lu Chuan's words from Li Shan, Ren Qingyao thought for a moment and said.

"I remember there is a very powerful old turtle to the west of the Qinling Mountains, and that old turtle's Bloodline is extraordinary, seemingly possessing the Bloodline of the Black Tortoise."

Ren Qingyao didn't know much.

In her impression from her previous life.

That old turtle in the Qinling Mountains ultimately died at the hands of the Pangolin Tyrant.

But in this life.

The Tyrant, who could have continuously risen, was killed by her brother early on.
