Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 615 - 556: Entering the Inheritance Palace

Chu Chen looked at the unwilling Time Deer and couldn't help but click his tongue silently.

The death of the Time Deer was truly stifling; first, it expended a lot of stamina and Star Power against the Beast horde, then it was disrupted by the Elemental Chaos skill of the Devouring Tiger, preventing it from using the Power of Time, and finally, its underestimation of the enemy led to its humiliating demise.

If it had been cautious enough to immediately retreat the moment the Elemental Chaos descended, the Devouring Tiger definitely wouldn't have been able to kill it.

Without the Power of Time, the Time Deer's strength was weakened by at least ninety percent, and tiger-type Star Beasts are natural nemeses of deer-type Star Beasts, so under such circumstances, there was no chance of survival for the Time Deer.

However, the Devouring Tiger was indeed ruthless; its ruthlessness extended not only to its enemies but also to itself.

In the face of the Deer's horn attack, it did not dodge, its objective was to exchange injury for injury, preventing the opponent's escape, trapping the Time Deer with no chance of surviving.

Faced with such a ruthless adversary, even Lei Yao probably had no assurance of victory.

Thinking about this, Chu Chen decided to stay put and continue waiting for further developments.

After killing the Time Deer, the Beast horde once again submitted under the Devouring Tiger's feet.

Yet the previous behavior of the horde made it rather displeased, and it let out a warning roar.

Immediately, the horde trembled in fear, sprawling on the ground, once again expressing subservience.

Seeing this, the Devouring Tiger stopped, turning its head to look at the Time Deer, dead with its eyes open, its gaze full of greed.

It let out a low growl, its mouth suddenly opening wide, and a black vortex resembling a black hole appeared from its mouth.

The Time Deer was drawn by the vortex's power, slowly rising from the ground, then, an astonishing scene unfolded, the body of the Time Deer rapidly shrunk, eventually disappearing into the black vortex.

After devouring the Time Deer, the Devouring Tiger lay on the ground, its tiger eyes half-closed, emitting an indescribable energy throughout its body.

Chu Chen stared intently at the Devouring Tiger as it was refining the Time Deer, now seemed like a good opportunity to strike.

But the Devouring Tiger was extremely cunning, whether it could fight while refining the Time Deer was unknown to Chu Chen.

If it could fight, then rashly making a move could plunge oneself into danger.

While Chu Chen was hesitating, a golden giant lion slowly stood up from the Beast horde, staring intently at the Devouring Tiger before charging towards it with a shift of its body.

This giant lion was a Late-Stage Emperor Level Star Beast, having long been suppressed by the Devouring Tiger. As the Lion King, it had its pride and would not remain under another's thumb for long.

Just as the giant lion's paw was about to descend, the Devouring Tiger abruptly opened its eyes, lifting its tiger paw to directly meet it.

"Boom"

The two paws clapped together fiercely, and the Lion King's massive body was directly sent flying.

The Devouring Tiger let out an enraged roar, its form shifting instantly to appear beside the Lion King, various Elemental Powers instantly converging, and a hundred-foot giant tiger paw appeared mid-air.

Seeing this, the Lion King showed a terrified look, but it had no intention of sitting still; it quickly mobilized its Gold Power to condense a shield to protect its head.

"Boom"

The tiger paw descended heavily, shattering the golden shield instantly, and the Lion King was directly slammed into the ground.

However, the Lion King did not die; it struggled to crawl out from the ground.

Lying on the ground, it emitted continuous whimpering sounds, as if pleading for the other's forgiveness.

In the face of the Lion King's plea, the Devouring Tiger's expression grew colder.

That strike just now was indeed held back, but it wasn't to spare the other's life, it was to instill fear through ruthless means, ensuring the remaining dozens of Star Beasts wouldn't dare entertain rebellious thoughts.

The Devouring Tiger slowly walked towards the Lion King, its sharp tiger claws constantly descending.

The Lion King's heartrending cries continuously echoed in the core area, lasting for a full quarter of an hour before finally ceasing completely.

The Devouring Tiger coldly swept its gaze over the Beast horde, its eyes filled with intense killing intent.

All the Star Beasts caught in the tiger's gaze lowered their heads, not daring to meet its eyes.

Seeing this, the Devouring Tiger contentedly turned its head, its mouth opening wide to swallow the Lion King's corpse as well.

Currently, the injuries on the Devouring Tiger's paw had already healed completely, it walked slowly towards the white palace, rich Time Power surging from its body.

Seeing this, Chu Chen's expression turned extremely grim, this Devouring Tiger was sly as a fox, its Devour Talent seemingly required no refining, its earlier actions were merely to lure out traitorous subordinates for a public execution, ensuring the horde's complete submission.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen couldn't help but feel a pang of fear; if he had acted earlier, he likely wouldn't have gained any benefit.

The Devouring Tiger's intellect and methods made it seem like an old hand in power for years.

Chu Chen was very curious about what experiences the Devouring Tiger had that granted it such terrifying cunning.

While Chu Chen was pondering, the Devouring Tiger had already arrived in front of the palace, looking at the Defense Shield at the palace entrance, probing by stretching out its tiger paw.

Upon touching the Defense Shield, the tiger paw surprisingly went straight through.

The Devouring Tiger, seeing this, couldn't conceal its wild joy, not daring to delay, it quickly stepped inside the Defense Shield.

Watching the Devouring Tiger completely disappear within the Defense Shield, Chu Chen did not act immediately but stayed in place silently waiting.

Being suspicious by nature, the Devouring Tiger might execute a surprise return.

As time passed, there was no movement inside the Defense Shield, and the Beast horde also relaxed their vigilance, lounging lazily around the Defense Shield.

Chu Chen calculated the time, the Devouring Tiger had entered the palace for a quarter of an hour, it likely wouldn't return.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and immediately summoned Lei Yao and Nirvana, issuing them a command to kill.

The two Beasts, upon hearing the command, immediately rushed towards the Beast horde without hesitation. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The number of the Beast horde was reduced to only over twenty, with less than a handful reaching the Emperor Level, and they were only Early-Stage Emperor Level at that.

The Beast horde, faced with two Late-Stage Emperor Level Guardian Beasts, had no power to resist, and in just a few minutes, the horde was completely slain by the two Beasts.

After packing up all the corpses, Chu Chen immediately approached the Defense Shield.

He attempted to raise his hand to touch the Defense Shield, finding no danger. He then tried using Soul Power to attack, but the Defense Shield remained unmoved.

Helplessly, he could only let the Thunder Shining Three Beasts take turns attacking, but still couldn't budge the Defense Shield at all.

This outcome was within Chu Chen's expectations, after halting the three Beasts, he quickly took out the Key that had transformed from the Treasure Map.

As soon as the Key appeared, it emitted a dazzling white light, rich Time Power flowing within it.

It began to vibrate violently, no matter how hard Chu Chen tried, he couldn't hold it steady.

Once free from Chu Chen's grasp, the Key floated gently above his head, enveloped by intense Time Power.

Seeing this, Chu Chen seemed to understand something, quickly storing the three Beasts into his Soul Sea, then extending his right hand again towards the Defense Shield.

When his fingers touched the Defense Shield, they surprisingly went straight through.

Seeing this, Chu Chen showed a happy expression, not daring to delay, he quickly stepped inside.

Upon entering the Defense Shield, Chu Chen immediately summoned the three Beasts.

Within the palace, there were two Emperor Level Peak Star Beasts, and one couldn't be too cautious.

The three Beasts circled around Chu Chen, cautiously observing their surroundings, fearing an ambush from the Devouring Tiger.
