Chapter 1267: Three Hundred Billion

A crimson battle platform appeared at the summit of Ancestral Soul Mountain. A thick, malevolent aura transformed into a crimson cloud, almost obscuring the sky.

All eyes gazed at the scene with immense shock.

It was as if the very air had congealed at that moment.

"What he said was actually true..." Even Ai Tuanzi stared blankly at the magnificent crimson battle platform. This was a secret their Myriad Beasts Heaven had not uncovered despite controlling the Dragon Spirit Cave Heaven for many years. How did the Fiendish Beast Tribe know it? Was it the Sacred Race?

Immediately afterward, Ai Tuanzi's expression suddenly changed. If the Supreme Battle Platform truly existed, could its occupier really control Ancestral Soul Mountain?

If that were the case, once Ancestral Soul Mountain fell into the control of the Fiendish Beast Tribe, Myriad Beasts Heaven would suffer an immense loss.

Ai Tuanzi's eyes turned cold as she stood suspended in the air. Her gaze shifted towards Chi Xuan, and her expression grew even more grim.

At this moment, the vast sea of blood was completely absorbed into his body. A terrifying profound Genesis Qi aura faintly emanated from him, causing the void to shatter.

A power level of three hundred billion Genesis Qi!

This sight made the experts of Myriad Beasts Heaven's scalps tingle.

It was important to note that even Ai Tuanzi, the strongest among them, possessed only about one hundred fifty billion profound Genesis Qi, which was merely half of Chi Xuan's.

This was not even on the same level!

In fact, it was likely that no pseudo-Dharma Domain stage expert could reach such a level.

Because three hundred billion was equivalent to a true Dharma Domain expert!

As the expressions of the Myriad Beasts Heaven experts changed, Chi Xuan took a deep breath of the air permeated with malevolent energy. He then looked up and smiled at Ai Tuanzi, asking if they knew why Myriad Beasts Heaven had never been able to discover the existence of the Supreme Battle Platform.

He explained that only when a challenger's profound Genesis Qi in Ancestral Soul Mountain reached the threshold of three hundred billion could it trigger the appearance of the Supreme Battle Platform.

He added that their foolish Saints in Myriad Beasts Heaven had set a rule, designating the Dragon Spirit Cave Heaven as a trial ground for the seventh-grade Genesis Infant stage. This, he claimed, ensured they would never discover this secret.

Chi Xuan's laughter was filled with mockery and amusement.

Zhou Yuan also frowned at this moment. It was impossible for a Genesis Infant stage expert to reach three hundred billion profound Genesis Qi, and perhaps even for a pseudo-Dharma Domain expert. However, Myriad Beasts Heaven's Saints must have also explored Ancestral Soul Mountain. Could they have failed to discover the Supreme Battle Platform's existence? If even the Saints of Myriad Beasts Heaven were unaware of such a secret, how could the Fiendish Beast Tribe, or rather, the Sacred Race, know?

He continued, stating there was something else that would make them despair.

He then asked if they thought anyone could ascend the Supreme Battle Platform. He answered his own question by saying no, as it also had a condition: three hundred billion profound Genesis Qi.

Chi Xuan stepped forward with a smile. Then everyone saw his figure appear directly at the summit of Ancestral Soul Mountain, passing through the layers of crimson clouds formed by the malevolent aura, and slowly landing on the Supreme Battle Platform.

He declared that from then on, they could only watch from the outside as he became the occupier of the Supreme Battle Platform and took control of Ancestral Soul Mountain right before their eyes. Chi Xuan's smile was brilliant, as if he eagerly anticipated seeing the desperate faces of Myriad Beasts Heaven.

The Myriad Beasts Heaven experts erupted in an uproar, their eyes filled with shock and fury, just as he expected, at the condition of three hundred billion profound Genesis Qi to enter the Supreme Battle Platform.

Previously, they had thought that if the worst came to pass, they would pour all their strength into a rotating battle, gradually exhausting Chi Xuan by sacrificing lives.

But with Chi Xuan's words, they wouldn't even have the qualification to enter the Supreme Battle Platform, let alone engage in a battle of attrition.

Ai Tuanzi's face was solemn, and her hands were tightly clenched.

Zhou Yuan appeared beside Ai Tuanzi. At this point, other pseudo-Dharma Domain experts from Myriad Beasts Heaven also disengaged from battle and arrived.

At this stage, the struggle for the Seed Battle Platforms had lost much of its significance.

The opponent's true objective had been revealed.

The Supreme Battle Platform, which they had never heard of before, was the true objective.

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but ask, pointing out that Chi Xuan's three hundred billion profound Genesis Qi was clearly cheating, as that level was already equivalent to the Dharma Domain stage. He questioned why only Genesis Infant stage experts were supposed to enter the Dragon Spirit Cave Heaven.

The other experts from Myriad Beasts Heaven exchanged glances, unsure how to respond.

Ai Tuanzi shook her head lightly. She admitted that while it was truly incredible, Chi Xuan's cultivation realm was likely still only at the pseudo-Dharma Domain stage.

The pseudo-Dharma Domain expert from the Ancient Whale Clan, Zhuang Xiaoming, gave a wry smile, stating that no one could achieve a pseudo-Dharma Domain with three hundred billion.

Ai Tuanzi explained that Chi Xuan had forcibly raised his profound Genesis Qi to three hundred billion by using the malevolent aura of Ancestral Soul Mountain, not through his own strength.

Zhou Yuan slowly commented that Chi Xuan was likely strange, as a typical pseudo-Dharma Domain expert could not withstand that level of malevolent aura.

The others also frowned slightly and nodded. Indeed, they were all pseudo-Dharma Domain experts, but they understood that if they were to endure such an infusion of malevolent aura, even with their Prime Beast bodies, they would inevitably lose their sanity and become beasts driven only by slaughter. Yet, Chi Xuan clearly retained his self-awareness.

Knowing this, however, was useless. The current situation had pushed Myriad Beasts Heaven into an awkward predicament.

Zhou Yuan asked if the Saints of Myriad Beasts Heaven had also noticed the situation here and why they weren't intervening.

He had sensed the Saints' gazes earlier, indicating that the Saints of Myriad Beasts Heaven were indeed watching.

Ai Tuanzi sighed softly. She explained that the Dragon Spirit Cave Heaven could not withstand the descent of a Saint. In previous inspections, all living beings had to be cleared from the Dragon Spirit Cave Heaven before the inspection could be carried out; otherwise, if a Saint descended, the resulting tremors would obliterate all other living beings within this space.

Zhou Yuan was stunned, realizing how troublesome the descent of a Saint was. However, it was likely too late for them to retreat now.

Zhou Yuan remained silent for a few breaths, then slowly spoke. He stated that, to speak bluntly, the current situation was somewhat out of control. He explained that Chi Xuan had somehow achieved three hundred billion profound Genesis Qi, and not only did they lack the qualification to even ascend the Supreme Battle Platform, but even if they forced their way up, it would just be suicide.

Zhou Yuan was quite self-aware. If the opponent had one hundred fifty billion, they could still fight, but with three hundred billion, it was simply unwinnable!

Even if they sacrificed their lives to fill the gap, it might not be enough.

So, from his perspective, the rational course of action now would probably be to retreat immediately.

The other top experts of Myriad Beasts Heaven also fell silent. Although Zhou Yuan's words were harsh, they were undeniably true.

Ai Tuanzi declared they could not retreat.

Ai Tuanzi took a deep breath. She stated that their long-standing animosity with the Fiendish Beast Tribe was too deep. If Ancestral Soul Mountain were lost under their watch, they would become the shame of the Prime Beast race.

The experts from the other tribes also nodded emphatically, their eyes filled with determination.

Zhou Yuan felt a headache coming on. It seemed the Prime Beast race's hatred for the Fiendish Beast Tribe was even more intense than their hatred for the Sacred Race.

Zhou Yuan said helplessly, asking what else they could do, as they couldn't even get on this Supreme Battle Platform.

Everyone fell silent once more. Faced with such a disparity, they felt powerless, yet they could not concede. Their inner turmoil was evident.

It was utterly despairing.

If this was true for these top experts from various tribes, how much more so for the rest of Myriad Beasts Heaven's forces at this moment. Everyone's faces were filled with panic and helplessness.

Jiang Hongying, Meng Chong, Jin Lan, and others also stood frozen, their expressions distraught.

In contrast, the Fiendish Beast Tribe's forces erupted in wild laughter, harsh and echoing like thunder.

At the summit of Ancestral Soul Mountain, Chi Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, watching the scene with a smile.

Zhou Yuan felt the heavy atmosphere, and a sense of helplessness rose within him. The current situation was even more daunting than facing Jiatu, as at least with Jiatu, there was a possibility of a fight. But now, with Chi Xuan's three hundred billion profound Genesis Qi, it was simply an unfair battle.

As everyone remained silent, a streak of light suddenly swept over, slowly landing on Zhou Yuan's shoulder.

It was Tun Tun.

Seeing Tun Tun, Ai Tuanzi and the others' eyes suddenly lit up. They might not be able to, but could Tun Tun, the Innate Sacred Beast, succeed?

As if knowing their thoughts, Tun Tun immediately shook its head. Even an Innate Sacred Beast would not find it easy to bridge a gap of one hundred fifty billion profound Genesis Qi.

The light in everyone's eyes instantly dimmed.

Seeing their reaction, Tun Tun snorted, then pulled out a slate. It conveyed that it had a way.

Ai Tuanzi looked surprised and delighted, asking if Lord Zu Tao had a way to contend with Chi Xuan.

Tun Tun nodded, its paw scratching across the slate, sending stone dust flying, then it held the slate up.

Everyone quickly looked. They saw a figure carved on it, somewhat resembling Zhou Yuan. Next to Zhou Yuan, there was also a carving of Tun Tun. Then, the man and beast seemed to merge together...

Tun Tun wiped its paw across the slate, and the carving transformed into text.

The text on the slate read that Zhou Yuan and it could fuse and take him down.

Ai Tuanzi and the others' eyes widened involuntarily.

They exclaimed in disbelief about Tun Tun fusing with Zhou Yuan.

They wondered how the fusion would work.

Zhou Yuan also stared, dumbfounded. He looked at Tun Tun's smug expression and wondered what kind of operation fusing with that guy was.

And the very thought was disgusting!

His expression shifted. After a few seconds of silence, he cupped his fist.

He declared that he refused and bade them farewell.

His fusion was reserved for Yao Yao; how could this scoundrel Tun Tun take advantage of him?!
