At the same time, in an unknown location within the artifact space, there was a sword-shaped mountain that had been sealed by the power of the saint artifact. A middle-aged man in beast skins lay on the top of the mountain as he stared blankly at the hazy sky.
A while later, the middle-aged man's eyes gradually shone. He let out a long sigh and cursed, "That damned Artifact Spirit has actually sealed me here again. Hmph, that damned Radiant Saint Master Union actually sends a group of ant-like Radiant Saint Masters to train here every fifty years, forcing me to be trapped here by that damned Artifact Spirit every fifty years. How outrageous! To think that I, a mighty Class 8 beast of antiquity, have actually been trapped here like a prisoner. That's a great insult to me."
The middle-aged man clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth, "It's a pity that the saint artifact is far too powerful. Even though I'm a Class 8 beast of antiquity, I'm not the opponent of that damned Artifact Spirit. I can't even fight back in the artifact space. Hmph, once I break through to Class 9, I'll definitely break out of this artifact space and escape. And that damned Artifact Spirit has trapped me for so long. I'll definitely teach it a vicious lesson to vent my anger."
As soon as he reached there, the middle-aged man seemed to think of something. His face darkened, and he murmured, "It's a pity that I can't break through to Class 9 in the artifact space. This damned artifact space, am I going to be trapped here for the rest of my life until I die?"
"Sigh." The middle-aged man let out a long sigh. His face was filled with helplessness. At this moment, the middle-aged man's face suddenly froze. Two streaks of extremely shocked light immediately shot out from his eyes.
"W- w- what is this presence?" The middle-aged man's face was filled with shock. He had already stood up from the ground at some point in time. He stood on the peak of the mountain and stared at the distant horizon. His face was filled with doubt and surprise.
"What is this presence? This presence actually makes me tremble from the depths of my soul. I- this is impossible. It's impossible for a presence to make me tremble in the artifact space, even if it's that powerful Artifact Spirit. And this presence is clearly very weak." The middle-aged man was extremely shocked, but he was also puzzled. He really could not understand why the presence that was clearly very weak would make him tremble from the depths of his soul.
Suddenly, an ancient memory from a legacy that had been sealed away for a very long time gradually appeared in the middle-aged man's head. He immediately paled in fright as disbelief filled his face.
"The ancient divine beast, the Winged Tiger. This is the presence of the ancient divine beast, the Winged Tiger," the middle-aged man involuntarily exclaimed. His face was filled with shock.
"My inherited memories clearly record some information about the Winged Tiger from ancient times. The Winged Tiger is the god of our magical beasts, a supreme existence that has surpassed the Holy Emperor. Its strength has reached an earth-shaking level. Even the war god of the Hundred Races, Ruijin, died to the hands of the Winged Tiger. Yet now, I can actually sense the Winged Tiger's presence in the artifact space. H- h- how is this possible? How can the Winged Tiger appear here?"
…
As the Winged Tiger's presence radiated out, all the powerful magical beasts sealed within the artifact space sensed its existence. Their faces all changed drastically as they became shocked. They all began to guess what it was.
In addition to those powerful magical beasts, even the contestants fighting in the artifact space sensed the white tiger's aura. There was no lack of knowledgeable people who immediately guessed that the aura was coming from an ancient exotic beast that was in the midst of a breakthrough. They all flew in the direction of the aura with various thoughts in their minds.
The White Tiger's breakthrough had caused just too great of a disturbance. Not only had it alarmed the powerful magical beasts sealed within, but it had even drawn over all the participants. A large number of white-robed Radiant Saint Masters flew in the direction of the White Tiger from all directions. They had all temporarily given up on fighting due to the attraction of the beast.
Very soon, a few Radiant Saint Masters arrived outside the cave that Jianchen had created.
"The presence is coming from there. The magical beast that's breaking through should be in there," a Radiant Saint Master pointed at the pitch-black cave up ahead.
"The magical beast has only just broken through, and it seems like it's still breaking through. Its strength has already dropped to its lowest level. Let's all charge in together and subdue it. Once we subdue a magical beast, our strength will definitely increase drastically," a Radiant Saint Master called out. A Radiant Saint Master called out from the crowd in an attempt to get some people to enter the cave and check out the situation.
However, his words had no effect at all. The Class 6 Radiant Saint Masters present had all lived for a very long time, so they were not so easily fooled. Without understanding the situation in the cave, none of them dared to charge in recklessly. Perhaps some unknown danger awaited them up ahead.
At the same time, magical beasts that had reached Class 5 were basically all adults. How could they be subdued so easily?
The presence in the cave continued to grow stronger. Going from Class 5 to Class 6 was a qualitative leap for the white tiger. Its energy was rapidly converting to Class 6, but since it was a Winged Tiger God, it had a much harder time breaking through than regular magical beasts. However, once it succeeded, its strength would experience a qualitative leap as well. It would no longer be something that regular magical beasts or beasts of antiquity could compare to.
Jian Chen was still constantly using his own blood to speed up the white tiger's breakthrough. He knew exactly what was happening outside the cave, but he had no power to stop it. His face had also become rather pale from the large amount of blood he had lost.
Another two hours passed very quickly. The number of Radiant Saint Masters gathered outside the cave had reached a hundred. They all stared at the cave as they discussed, but none of them were willing to scout it out.
At this moment, another group of twenty or so people flew over from the distance. They directly flew over everyone's head and stopped thirty meters away from the cave.
"People from the Zaar Family, they are the people from the Zaar Family …"
"The people from the Zaar Family have also come, and there are quite a few of them. Looks like this beast of antiquity is most likely going to fall into the hands of the Zaar Family …"
"Forget it, since the people from the Zaar Family are involved, we should just give up. This Zaar Family is not to be offended."
The arrival of this group of people immediately caused quite a commotion. It immediately extinguished the greed in the hearts of a few people. Although the Zaar Family was only one of the top three families in the Holy Emperor Kingdom, they were the strongest of the three families. They could even fight against the other two families by themselves. Their strength was so great that even some ancient families were unwilling to provoke them.
"The old man standing at the very front of the Zaar Family seems to be Zatilos. He has already studied the Radiant Artes for several hundred years. His usage of the Radiant Artes has already reached the point of perfection. He is extremely powerful, and at the same time, he is ranked fourth on the Top Ten Experts Rankings."
"Hmm, the person standing beside Zatilos seems to be the second disciple of the president of the Radiant Saint Master Union, Yun Tian. He is ranked fifth on the Top Ten Experts Rankings."
At this moment, another group of over ten Radiant Saint Masters flew over from afar. Their arrival immediately attracted the attention of many Radiant Saint Masters.
"That is one of the three great families in the Holy Emperor Kingdom, the Zaar Family. They must have come for the magical beast that is breaking through in the cave."
"Right now, two of the three great families in the Holy Emperor Kingdom have already arrived. Only the Kara Family is not here yet."
"I think the Kara Family will be here very soon. It is rumored that the young lady of the Kara Family, Kara Livi, is ranked first on the Top Ten Experts Rankings. Her strength has already reached the peak of the 6th Class. She is known as the strongest person below the 7th Class."
In the blink of an eye, the originally quiet mountain range became lively with the arrival of this group of people. Now, the number of Radiant Saint Masters gathered outside the cave had already reached five hundred. Not only had all the famous families in the Holy Emperor Kingdom come, even two of the three great families had come.
The Zaar Family and the Kaar Family stood at the very front, closest to the cave. As soon as the two families saw each other, they looked at each other coldly. It was as if they were like fire and water, ready to fight at the slightest disagreement.
The leader of the Zaar Family, Zatilos, coldly stared at the group of people from the Kaar Family and sneered, "Kaar Family, don't tell me you want to steal this exotic beast from our Zaar Family?"
The leader of the Kaar Family was an old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion. Hearing Zatilos' words, this old man called Kaar Family also sneered and replied, "This exotic beast has already reached the 6th Class. How can it be so easy to tame it? Zatilos, it is not that I am looking down on you, but even if you all attack together, you may not be able to capture a beast that has already reached the 6th Class. Even if you capture it, with the pride of these exotic beasts, they will never submit to your Zaar Family."
Zatilos coldly snorted and said, "Whether or not we can capture and tame it is our Zaar Family's matter. It is not up to your Kaar Family to tell us what to do."
Kaar Family sneered and said, "Since that is the case, then let us all see with our own eyes whether or not your Zaar Family can capture this exotic beast. If you can't even capture it, then taming it will be even more of a joke."
Zatilos coldly snorted and immediately ignored Kaar Family. His eyes were fixed on the cave in front of him. There was a rare trace of graveness on his face as he said, "Zaslow, Zaske, Zaar Yunhai, the three of you go in and check the situation inside." The situation inside the cave was unknown. Although Zatilos boasted that his strength was not weak, he did not dare to be too presumptuous in the artifact space.
"Yes, Elder!" Behind Zatilos, three middle-aged men immediately whispered in unison. Then they immediately condensed Holy Light Armor to protect their bodies and cautiously approached the cave.
In the artifact space, their lives were protected by the power of the artifact. As a result, even though the three of them knew that there might be unknown dangers ahead, they were not afraid at all. This was because they knew that even if they encountered danger, they would not die. At most, they would lose the right to participate in the competition.
As the three of them cautiously advanced, all the Radiant Saint Masters present immediately gathered their gazes on the three of them. They all held their breaths and stared at them without blinking. Many of them had already put on Holy Light Armor to deal with unexpected situations.
