He had long heard the name of the Fierce Beast.
It is a monster that can be cultivated, ranging from weak to strong in nine ranks, corresponding to cultivators of the nine levels of Spirit Martial.
However, it is said that the strength of a third‑rank Fierce Beast can far surpass that of a third‑level Spirit Martial cultivator, and can even match a fourth‑level expert.
Therefore, even Chu Feng dared not be careless; he knew there was a mechanism here, and as soon as the Fierce Beast was triggered it would appear.
«Bang!» Suddenly a dull sound came, and the stone door imprisoning the Fierce Beast began to open.
«Strange, I haven’t even stepped into the hall, why did the stone door open?» Chu Feng felt astonished.
«Bang bang bang bang bang……» Immediately after, all forty stone doors on the two sides of the hall swung open.
Chu Feng was dumbfounded, because inside those dark stone doors pairs of bloody red eyes had already opened, and a powerful killing intent filled the entire hall.
«Damn, is this playing with me?» Chu Feng cursed, he had clearly heard that the final trial each time was a single Fierce Beast, but what was going on now?
«Wuuu~~~» However, Chu Feng had no time to think further, because dense figures poured out of the stone doors and flooded into the hall.
He could clearly see that these monsters resembled tigers but were twice the size of a tiger.
Their bodies were pitch‑black; the only things visible were blade‑sharp claws and fangs, and a pair of blood‑red eyes.
Altogether there were forty Fierce Beasts, their appearance identical, likely the same species, but upon closer inspection Chu Feng noticed strange patterns on their foreheads—obviously the marks of their rank.
«Wow~» At that moment a Fierce Beast roared, directing its gaze toward the high platform deep in the hall.
At the same time, all the Fierce Beasts turned their eyes to the platform and drooled with desire.
«Damn, you bunch of bandits.» Seeing this, Chu Feng flew into a rage; he would not let these beasts enjoy such a treasure, he shouted and sprinted toward the platform.
«Wuuu» As soon as Chu Feng entered the hall, he quickly attracted the beasts’ attention.
This turned out badly—all forty Fierce Beasts abandoned the Spirit Herb and simultaneously charged at Chu Feng, as if human flesh was more tempting to them than spiritual medicine.
«Get lost.» A second‑rank Fierce Beast lunged forward, but Chu Feng needed only one punch to shatter its skull—it was no match at all.
Yet at the same time, several more Fierce Beasts swarmed in; their terrifying killing intent could make a person tremble all over.
However, Chu Feng felt no fear; he moved like an agile monkey, darting left and right among the beasts, and every strike he made felled a beast.
At this moment, compared to the merciless beasts, Chu Feng resembled a terrifying monster himself; his whole body was a set of unbreakable weapons, and even if the beasts were thick‑skinned and muscular, they could not withstand his blows.
At this instant Chu Feng sensed that what surged within him was not only heavenly and earthly spiritual energy, but also the Nine‑colored Divine Thunder that he both loved and hated; it was this thunder that granted him such tremendous power, forging his flesh into perfection.
«Roar» Just as Chu Feng’s eyes turned blood‑red from killing, a piercing roar suddenly came from behind him.
He turned his head in shock— a gigantic Fierce Beast’s claw was already reaching for his skull.
This claw was unlike any other; it was far stronger than those of the ordinary beasts, and if it caught him his skull would surely be crushed.
«Swish.» Instinctively Chu Feng leapt backward to dodge the claw.
However, the claw’s speed was terrifying; although his head avoided the strike, it slammed hard into his chest.
«Ugh ah~~» Five bloody gashes tore open his chest, the excruciating pain made him scream.
«I’ll rip you apart.» Besides the pain, Chu Feng felt mainly fury.
He had seen that the beast attacking him bore four patterns on its forehead—clearly a fourth‑rank Fierce Beast.
Had it been anyone else, they would have turned and fled, for even at the same cultivation level a beast’s strength far exceeds that of a human.
