"That's it?" Chu Mu stopped cultivating, a little surprised.
Why did it disappear after his cultivation breakthrough?
While thinking, Chu Mu only felt that he was caught, unable to move, and instantly spun. When he woke up again, he was no longer in the room, but in a valley. In front of him was a behemoth, like a hill. Although the aura it emitted was not strong, it made Chu Mu's heart tremble, as if there was an electric current rushing through his limbs and bones. A sense of trembling emerged from the depths of his blood and soul.
This was an unavoidable feeling, a kind of gap in the level of life.
"Human, don't be afraid." A vigorous and vigorous voice sounded, like rolling thunder, into Chu Mu's ears.
"Your Excellency is?" Chu Mu was not afraid. The trembling before was just a natural reaction brought about by the gap in the level of life.
"I am the Beast King, Tian Lun." The huge hill-like figure moved, revealing a head. It looked like a tiger, a leopard, and a lion. In short, it looked like many spirit beasts, but it had a unique charm. A pair of huge eyes flashed with the light of wisdom.
"Beast King!" Chu Mu's heart trembled slightly.
The status of the Beast King among spirit beasts was similar to the status of the peerless experts among the Human Race. Their status was similar, and their strength was the same. In other words, the Beast King was equal to the peerless experts, but the Beast King of spirit beasts, under normal circumstances, was more powerful than the peerless experts.
Speaking of which, spirit beasts had a natural advantage, a strong physique, a huge body, and more powerful strength, far surpassing that of other races.
The flaw was very obvious, and that was wisdom. The wisdom of spirit beasts was generally not high. Even if they had wisdom not inferior to that of the Human Race, their minds were relatively simple, and their thinking was often more direct. They rarely beat around the bush, not to mention the smart people of the Human Race, who could come up with a lot of deceptive schemes.
Spirit beasts advocated more straightforwardness, and won by force.
Therefore, although Saint-level spirit beasts were stronger than humans of the same level, they might not necessarily be able to kill their opponents in battle. They might even be killed by their opponents.
However, beast kings were different. Beast kings were stronger than Holy level beasts, not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of intelligence. Even though Holy level beasts had different temperaments and beast kings had different temperaments, beast kings were usually more rational. Their intelligence was more similar to that of humans, or even surpassing that of Holy level beasts.
Every Beast King had lived for a very long time, at least tens of thousands of years. It was enough time for them to learn and improve, and use their wisdom more rationally.
An incomparably powerful physique, an incomparably powerful strength contained within its body, and an incomparably wise wisdom. Even the peerless experts of the Tian Clan were not willing to provoke such a Beast King.
"Your Excellency Beast King, was that you …" Chu Mu's heart stirred as he asked.
"Human, how do you feel? Your cultivation base has risen by one level." The Sky Wheel Beast King asked.
As expected, everything made sense now.
He was being chased by the Tian Clan, but he entered a room and even absorbed a lot of pure energy to raise his cultivation base by one level. All of this was done by the Sky Wheel Beast King.
"Your Excellency Beast King, may I ask what you need me to do?" Chu Mu asked.
Perhaps Chu Mu's strength was worlds apart from the Beast King's, but some things could not be done with just strength. Chu Mu did not think that the Beast King would be so kind as to give him benefits for no reason.
Therefore, the Sky Wheel Beast King must have a request. That was why he saved him and gave him benefits at the same time.
"It's easy to talk to smart people." The Sky Wheel Beast King said, "Human, I have something that I need your help with. Just consider it an advance payment. After it's done, I can let you enter that place again to continue cultivating."
When Chu Mu heard this, he was not overjoyed. Instead, he frowned.
He had already raised his cultivation base by one level in just 20 days. In other words, Chu Mu used 20 days to complete what would have taken him 20 years to cultivate. The benefits were huge. This was just an advance payment. After it was done, there would be more rewards. It would not be any worse than before.
Such a large reward meant that the task he had to do was also very difficult. Chu Mu wasn't confident.
"It's just that with my strength, I can't enter that place. I have to be a mid-level Martial Saint or below. But there's something I need inside." The Sky Wheel Beast King saw the worry in Chu Mu's heart and said slowly, "Don't worry. With the strength you've shown, although it's difficult, it can be done."
When Chu Mu heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief.
A place that restricted one's cultivation base to enter. This meant that there was danger, but it should not be too great. With his cultivation base and strength, he should be able to fight it.
Refuse?
That was impossible unless Chu Mu was willing to use the Sword Sect Spirit Imprint. However, this beast king didn't have any ill intentions towards him. This was equivalent to a trade that could give him an increase in strength, so why not?
"Your Excellency, please enlighten me," Chu Mu said. This meant that he had agreed to the deal.
"You have to enter the Hundred Beasts Hall. Enter the last hall and bring me the only ball. Then, the deal is complete. I will pay the rest of the reward," the Sky Wheel Beast King said.
Both of them were not wishy-washy people. Once they agreed, the Sky Wheel Beast King immediately opened the passage to the Hundred Beasts Hall.
The dark and deep passage spun as if it led to an unknown place.
Chu Mu took a deep breath and stepped forward, quickly walking into the passage.
To be honest, if the Sky Wheel Beast King wanted to harm him, there was no need for him to play so many tricks. With his strength, he could easily kill him.
The passage seemed endless, but it was actually very short. In less than three breaths, Chu Mu walked out of the passage and entered a hall.
The hall was very tall, at least a thousand meters high. It was also very wide. It was like a hall that belonged to a giant. Chu Mu felt very small in it.
There were countless murals on the walls of the hall. They were all murals of Spirit Beasts. Many of the Spirit Beasts looked very lifelike, as if they were about to come to life.
Other than that, the hall was empty. Chu Mu could not find anything else.
"The last hall …" Chu Mu muttered. "This should be the first hall, not the last. Is there a way to go to the last hall?"
He looked carefully. Other than the murals of the Hundred Beasts, he did not see anything else.
Suddenly, one of the Spirit Beasts on the wall lit up. It let out a roar and jumped out of the murals. It turned into a huge black tiger.
The moment the black tiger appeared, it roared at Chu Mu. The roar echoed in the hall. It was very powerful. The aura that the black tiger exuded was at the peak of the One Star Martial Saint level.
The peak of the One Star Martial Saint level was too weak.
Immediately, there was another roar. More Spirit Beasts on the murals came to life and jumped out of the murals. One after another, there were more than a hundred of them. They filled the hall.
There was a huge black tiger, a red unicorn, a grey ape, and a silver goshawk flying in the sky.
One hundred One Star Martial Saints surrounded Chu Mu. Each of the Spirit Beasts was bigger than Chu Mu. It looked like Chu Mu was a lamb that had entered a herd of ferocious beasts.
These guys were Spirit Beasts that were stronger than ferocious beasts. However, Chu Mu was not a lamb.
There was no need to say anything. The battle began. Chu Mu fought against a hundred alone.
The Blazing Brilliance Spiritual Sword appeared. He slashed it out. The Spirit Beasts in front of him could not dodge at all. They were hit by the Sword Light. Under Chu Mu's sword, they let out a sad cry and instantly collapsed. They turned into light spots and flew to the wall, turning back into the murals.
Even if there were a thousand Spirit Beasts, as long as they were One Star Martial Saints, they would not be a match for Chu Mu. They could be killed easily.
However, the speed of the sword was so fast that the Spirit Beasts could not react. They did not even have time to attack. They collapsed under Chu Mu's sword. They turned into light spots and turned back into the murals.
A door appeared in front of Chu Mu.
Chu Mu finally understood. The door would appear if he killed the Spirit Beasts that appeared on the murals. He could then enter the next palace hall through the door.
Walking through the door, Chu Mu indeed appeared in the new palace. Compared to the first palace, there didn't seem to be much of a difference. However, Chu Mu keenly discovered that the spirit beasts in the murals on the walls were slightly different from the ones in the first palace.
The roars sounded again. The murals lit up one by one and turned into Spirit Beasts that jumped out. There was a total of fifty Spirit Beasts. The aura that each Spirit Beast emitted was at the Peak of Two Star Martial Saints.
Compared to the first palace hall, the number of Spirit Beasts in the second palace hall was less than half. However, they were more powerful. They were more powerful than the hundred Spirit Beasts from before.
However, to Chu Mu, whether it was a hundred Spirit Beasts at the Peak of One Star Martial Saints or fifty Spirit Beasts at the Peak of Two Star Martial Saints, they were no match for him.
With a Spirit Sword in hand, Chu Mu did not wait for the Spirit Beasts to attack. He drew his sword. The Sword Light flashed and a white sword Qi streaked across the sky. It was like a white line that connected the sky and the water. It did not have a starting point or an ending point. However, it circled around Chu Mu.
From a visual point of view, it looked like a straight white line, but in reality, it was actually a circle, creating a false sense of sight.
One sword. Just one sword. No matter if it was on the ground or in the air, no matter if it was tall or short, none of the Spirit Beasts could escape. They were all hit and slashed.
Even if it was just an ordinary sword attack, it was not something that these Spirit Beasts at the Peak of Two Star Martial Saints could withstand. Under Chu Mu's sword, they turned into ashes.
