Chapter 986: The Head of the Sacred Lion Beast
“Leon, I didn’t expect your senses to be so sharp. I can’t sense any apprehension, but anyone above the level of full-shifter seed to be able to sense it. The reason is that we’ve gotten close to the head of the Sacred Lion Beast. Leon, do you know what a sacred beast is?”
“What is a sacred beast?
Upon hearing the Princess Royal’s question, rlin was slightly taken aback. He had heard of sacred beasts before. According to legends, during ancient tis, the sacred beasts were the most superior of all the almighty beasts. They were the most powerful almighty beasts.
However, rlin had never considered in length as to what a sacred beast was.
“Lisa, do you know what a sacred beast is?” rlin cald the apprehension in his heart and asked softly.
“Of course I know what a sacred beast is. Many people only know that, in the ancient Almighty Beast World, there were countless numbers of almighty beasts all over the world. They were the absolute overlords of this world. However, how many people know of a ti before the ancient almighty beasts existed? Actually, before the era of the ancient almighty beasts, this world was a desolate and barren place. There were only a small handful of almighty beasts. They were born naturally and carried the will of the world. They were greatly treasured by the entire world. These almighty beasts were the sacred beasts!”
“Later, perhaps the sacred beasts felt that the world was too desolate, or perhaps due to in-fighting, fresh blood dripped into the ground. As they were sacred beasts, every drop of blood contained unimaginable magical properties. Consequently, so powerful almighty beasts were born from these droplets of blood. These almighty beasts were the descendants of the sacred beasts. They had a portion of the sacred beast’s powers, but still far less than the sacred beasts. This marked the origins of the ancient almighty beasts!”
“It can be said that all the almighty beasts that ca after the ancient almighty beasts are descendants of the sacred beast. Therefore, when they faced the sacred beasts, they will naturally feel the suppression of their bloodlines. Your Blood-eye Dragon must be very subdued now, right? This is the power of the Sacred Lion Beast’s head. Even though it has died millions of years ago, the aura it exudes is incomparable to any almighty beast.”
After listening to the Princess Royal’s explanation, rlin took a look at the Blood-eye Dragon’s will inside his Awareness. True enough, the Blood-eye Dragon had curled into a ball and dared not move, seemingly sensing a fearso existence. Its entire body trembled in fear.
Was this the sa arrogant, bad-tempered Blood-eye Dragon he knew before?
“Carried the will of the world... Sacred beasts, I hope you don’t let down!”
A thrill flashed across rlin’s eyes. Previously, he had speculated that the sacred beasts were the manifestations of the Almighty Beast World’s will. Now, it seed like his speculation was correct.
“Leon, relax. Although the Sacred Lion Beast’s head contains infinite authority, it is already dead. As long as you don’t try to resist, it won’t affect you.”
rlin nodded and followed after the Princess Royal once again. They continued to move forward. The nearer they got to it, the stronger the aura beca. However, as the Princess Royal explained, as long as rlin did not resist it, the aura only made him feel apprehensive. It could not cause him any harm.
After so ti, rlin and the Princess Royal arrived at a slightly dilapidated palace. The Princess Royal took out an identity naplate and placed it inside a groove on a table. Then using her fingernail, she gently slit her finger. A drop of blood imdiately trickled onto the naplate.
“Hum.”
Suddenly, the entire dilapidated palace changed. From the table, a large pitch-black hole appeared.
“This... Space-ti transmission?”
rlin was completely stunned. Space-ti transmission was considered common in the Void Zone but in the Almighty Beast World, space was impenetrably solid. Achieving space-ti transmission would require unimaginable power.
“Yes, it’s space-ti transmission! Back then, the royal family ancestors spent constant effort to set-up this space-ti transmission portal. The Sacred Lion Beast is in a completely sealed location, so it is only possible to enter via this space-ti transmission portal. In addition, in order to activate the space-ti transmission portal, one must possess the royal family naplate, as well as the bloodline of a descendant of the royal family. Those with weakened bloodlines are unable to activate the space-ti transmission, only a descendant of sufficiently viscous royal blood can activate it.”
“Therefore, those who covet the royal family’s Sacred Lion Beast are simply wasting their energy. How can they possibly find the location of the Sacred Lion Beast?”
rlin looked at this pitch-black space-ti portal and acknowledged in his heart, this was indeed an extravagant effort. However, he imdiately thought of a problem.
“If soone were to destroy this space-ti transmission, then would it an that even the royal family won’t be able to enter the place where the Sacred Lion Beast is?”
“Yes, in theory, that is so. However, the space-ti transmission portal was set-up by the ancestors of our royal family. If it could be destroyed so easily, it wouldn’t have existed for so many years. Let’s go, don’t delay any further. This space-ti portal cannot exist for a long ti.”
With that, the Princess Royal picked up her naplate and led rlin into the space-ti portal.
“Whiz”.
As their two figures gradually disappeared, the pitch-black portal gradually shrunk. Finally, it was completely restored, as though nothing had happened inside this dilapidated palace.
...
Inside the dark space-ti portal, a powerful squeezing sensation was tearing at rlin’s body. Nonetheless, how strong was his body at this ti? This bit of tearing was still manageable.
Even the Princess Royal, a Fourth-form shifter, was capable of withstanding it.
Actually, the Princess Royal’s abilities were not subpar and could even be considered powerful. Due to her top-tier bloodline, a Fourth-form shifter was already comparable to full-shifters from the low-tier almighty beast bloodlines. However, she was a high-ranking Princess Royal of the royal family, so she never had to use her abilities. If even the Princess Royal was forced to show her hand, the royal family must truly be at the verge of life and death.
Of course, in rlin’s eyes, the Princess Royal was still considered very ‘weak.’ Although a Fourth-form shifter and a full-shifter were only one level apart, this level constituted a world of difference with a significant gap.
In reality, the transmission only took a short ti and was almost instantaneous. However, it felt like a very long ti inside the transmission portal. Finally, rlin saw a flicker of light at the end of the darkness.
“Swish”.
Finally, rlin and the Princess Royal’s figures were transmitted to a dull stone palace. Every corner was filled with a suppressive aura, and the space-ti transmission portal had disappeared.
“There is no one here?”
rlin sensed his surroundings and found that inside this dull stone palace, there was no one. From the beginning of the transmission portal all the way to this place, there seed to be no guards. This exceeded rlin’s expectations.
“Guards? Of course we have them. Look closely at those stone walls,” the Princess Royal said with a smile.
“Stone walls?”
rlin looked closely and discovered that there were stone statues in front of the stone walls. However, what use could these statues be?
“Hehe, these statues are real living creatures who were petrified by the royal ancestors using their Supre Talent. If there was an intruder, they will imdiately awaken. In addition, the abilities of these stone statues are quite formidable. Almost every statue is high-tier almighty beast bloodline full-shifter and strong contender.”
“What? All of them are high-tier almighty beast bloodline full-shifters?”
rlin was slightly skeptical. After all, high-tier almighty beast bloodlines were so rare, how could there be so many high-tier almighty beast bloodlines in this place, and all of them achieved the level of full-shifter?
When he approached these stone statues, they began to vibrate violently. The two stone status closest to rlin vibrated swiftly, shaking off the dust on their bodies. Then, layers of erald beam encapsulated the stone statues. Following that, rlin discovered that two enormous auras were quickly awakening.
These stone statues were real living creatures. The two stone statues quickly awakened and transford into two burly n. Upon seeing rlin, the two n did not hesitate to full-shift.
“Boom.”
The terrible almighty beast bodies appeared before rlin. It was an incredibly patterned giant tiger with a pair of wings on its back.
“Sky-tiger King? This is a powerful high-tier almighty beast!”
rlin was shocked. He was very knowledgeable, so as soon as he saw the almighty beast, he knew that it was an ancient high-tier almighty beast that was recorded in the books.
Soon, the other man also wielded his full-shift form. He shifted into a black python, and on its head was a fla that appeared to be burning. It looked quite bizarre.
“Fla Python? This is also a high-tier almighty beast!”
At that mont, rlin fully believed the Princess Royal’s words. Every stone statue placed here was of a high-tier almighty beast bloodline, and have achieved full-shift.
They might be slightly inferior to rlin’s Blood-eye Dragon, but still undeniably ancient high-tier almighty beasts!
Just as rlin was about to full-shift, the Princess Royal shook her head. She gently walked up to the two almighty beasts, and two drops of fresh blood dripped from her finger. Instantly, the two almighty beasts let out a low growl and weakened rapidly. Then, they resud their original positions and turned into two lifeless stone statues.
“All of these stone statues are controlled by our ancestor’s Supre Talent. They will guard this place forever. Only the bloodline of the royal family’s descendants can restore them into stone statues,” the Princess Royal said calmly.
rlin glanced at the stone statues. There were at least twenty-five status, which ant that there were at least twenty-five fearso existences consisting of high-tier almighty beast full shifters. If this force was brought outside, the royal family could easily conquer the Holy Dragon Empire.
This was considered one of the hidden weapons of the royal family. The foundation which the royal family had accumulated over thousands of years was truly extraordinary.
The Princess Royal seed to see through rlin’s thoughts and shook her head helplessly. “Unfortunately, we can’t bring any of the stone statues in here outside. They cannot pass through the space-ti portal. Back then, our ancestors must have laid so restrictions. Thus, the stone statues can only remain in this place and guard the head of the Sacred Lion Beast forever.”
It turned out that the stone statues could not be brought outside. Otherwise, they would have been a truly fearso force to reckon with!
“Follow !”
The Princess Royal led rlin forward. Every ti they got close to a stone statue, she would drip a drop of fresh blood. Fortunately, the Princess Royal had the bloodline of a top-tier almighty beast, so her blood-qi was very rich. Otherwise, rely controlling these stone statues would have depleted most of her energy.
This dull and suppressive stone palace was very large. The walls around them were ford using thick stone slabs, which were almost completely impenetrable. At the sa ti, rlin sensed that this place felt like it was underground. Besides the space-ti portal, there was no other way to enter or leave this place. This stone palace was completely sealed.
After walking with the Princess Royal for a while, the sense of apprehension in rlin’s heart increased several folds.
“Almost there?”
rlin’s heart prickled cautiously. The legendary sacred beast represented the will of the Almighty Beast World. Although it was dead, rlin must still exercise extre caution.
Perhaps others might not be too concerned with the will of a world, but rlin was not from this world. The Illusory World which resided inside his body, along with its natural order were considered the ‘greatest enemy’ of any Latitude Cosmos. Once exposed or discovered, the consequences were unimaginable. At this mont, rlin did not have the ability to defy the will of a Latitude Cosmos, like what he did to the Void Zone, no matter how much weaker this Latitude Cosmos was.
Therefore, rlin had to ticulously cover up the aura of the Illusory World and hide it in the deepest part of his body.
“Well, Leon, take a look, this is the head of the Sacred Lion Beast!”
Finally, the Princess Royal led rlin to a spacious hall. rlin looked up. The hall was approximately the size of five or six football fields combined. It was difficult to imagine that such a spacious hall could be built underground.
However, the true wow factor for rlin was not the spacious hall, but the incredibly imnse head which was almost as large as a mountain top. The everlasting head radiated a golden glow and exuded an overwhelming aura. rlin felt his heartbeat quicken.
“The head of the Sacred Lion Beast?”
rlin finally saw the head of the Sacred Lion Beast. The entire head was golden in color. There was an inexplicable sense of tilessness, as though even after millions of years, this Sacred Lion Beast’s head will continue to exist.
“The will of the world?”
While rlin was reeling from shock, he was also silently sensing the aura emitted by the head of the Sacred Lion Beast. However, he did not find any aura of the will of the world, which had been his greatest worry.
Perhaps, in the past, the Sacred Lion Beast indeed represented the will of the Almighty Beast World. However, following its demise, the will of the world disappeared.
“How did such a powerful sacred beast die? What kind of power could kill a sacred beast?”
rlin walked around the huge head of the sacred beast. He could see that the Sacred Lion Beast’s head had been cut down by an imnse force. The incision had been cut through cleanly.
Perhaps, due to this reason, the Sacred Lion Beast’s head could be preserved intact.
“Wait, what about the blood inside the Sacred Lions Beast’s head?”
rlin suddenly discovered an irregularity. Inside this enormous Sacred Lion Beast’s head, there was not a single drop of blood!
