Chapter 1548: Chapter 1567: Divine Temple of Myriad Beasts

"Guests who come are guests; although our clan dwells deep within the starry sky and rarely interacts with external beings, we are not unreasonable. You must not act recklessly in the future."

The Beast King pretended to reprimand and then gazed around the starry sky, speaking solemnly, "Young friend, your secret techniques are astounding. I wonder which Daoist sect you belong to and what important matters bring you to our clan. The earlier incident was merely a misunderstanding. I hope you won’t mind."

As the saying goes, ’one doesn’t hit a smiling person,’ and though Ye Xuan knew the Beast King was putting on an act, unable to do anything to him, he indeed hadn’t come to make trouble, which is why Ye Xuan reappeared in this part of the starry sky.

As Ye Xuan appeared, the Beast King’s eyes flickered, a hint of killing intent quietly rising, but it quickly dissipated.

For he found himself unable to lock onto Ye Xuan, which indicated that the latter could disappear mysteriously at any moment as before. This made the Beast King increasingly dubious and unsure about Ye Xuan’s origins.

In the Beast King’s impressions, the Ten Supreme Powers had no such escape skill, and even the several ancient and mysterious forbidden grounds within the cosmic starry sky had never been heard of possessing such a skill.

Ye Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Since it was a misunderstanding, won’t the Beast King invite me in to have a seat?"

"Of course, please come."

The Beast King, being the lord of a great clan, graciously invited Ye Xuan into the ancestral land, dismissing a dozen clansmen, never mentioning the incident where Ye Xuan just fought with his clansmen.

Soon, under the Beast King’s guidance, Ye Xuan truly entered the ancestral land of the Starry Sky Giant Beasts and genuinely appreciated how terrifying the Starry Sky Giant Beasts were.

The vast starry sky, stars stood tall.

One after another, ancient stars hung in the sky, occasionally seen with massive Starry Sky Giant Beasts roaring past, their deafening beastly roars transmitted, these gigantic beasts exuding extremely terrifying auras.

These Starry Sky Giant Beasts possessed spiritual wisdom. As he entered their ancestral land, many unfriendly gazes fell upon him.

Had it been anyone else, they would have been intimidated by the Starry Sky Giant Beast clan, but though Ye Xuan was astonished internally, he appeared very calm on the surface, following the Beast King as if strolling in a quiet courtyard.

"Our Starry Sky Giant Beast clan has existed since the opening of chaos, enduring for ten great eras. This is our ancestral land, with no less than a hundred thousand starry sky giant beasts possessing King Blood."

As the Beast King walked, he introduced the Starry Sky Giant Beast clan to Ye Xuan. Though he spoke casually, he kept observing Ye Xuan’s expressions, hoping to probe into Ye Xuan’s origins.

Unfortunately, Ye Xuan spoke little. No matter how the Beast King tested him, he only responded briefly, which let the Beast King realize that the human before him was not someone whose background could be discerned with a few words.

Incense time passed.

Finally, under the Beast King’s guidance, Ye Xuan arrived before a temple.

Weathered and simple, black and profound, this temple was grand but full of the aura of ancient times, clearly existing for countless years.

"Please."

The Beast King entered the temple first, Ye Xuan casually followed, but the black plaque on the temple caught his attention.

"Myriad Beasts Shrine?"

Ye Xuan’s heart trembled, suddenly feeling that this temple seemed to hide something daunting, causing him to halt his steps and not enter the temple.

"Young friend, what’s the matter?"

The Beast King turned to look at Ye Xuan, a congenial smile on his face, showing no signs of unusual behavior.

"Myriad Beasts Shrine, a fine name!"

Ye Xuan squinted his eyes slightly, offering a faint praise, then walked into the Divine Temple, causing a flicker of strange color in the Beast King’s eyes.

Inside the Myriad Beasts Shrine!

Everywhere was pitch-black, almost like ink, barely seeing one’s five fingers. As Ye Xuan and the Beast King entered, lamps bizarrely lit up, illuminating the entire shrine clearly.

"Hm?"

When Ye Xuan took in the scene inside the shrine, he froze; the shrine was very ordinary, exceedingly spacious in its entirety, with only an altar within, furnished with sacrificial animals and fruits, atop which stood a black statue, evidently for worship.

Ye Xuan glanced at the black statue, noticing its material unknown and entire body black enough to stir one’s heart. However, it was apparent to Ye Xuan that the statue had the form of a human.

But when Ye Xuan gazed into the eyes of the black statue, his Divine Soul shuddered violently, abruptly feeling a mist before his vision, making it impossible to discern the statue’s appearance.

Destruction Eye!

The next moment, Ye Xuan activated his Dharma Eye, his eyes revolving fearsomely, dispelling the mist instantly. His gaze returned to the black statue, more so observing the statue’s appearance, especially its eyes.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a muffled groan came from Ye Xuan, blood oozing from his eyes as he felt unbearable stinging pain in them. Merely looking into the statue’s eyes seemed to inflict unimaginable damage upon him.

Thump—thump—thump!

Ye Xuan took several steps backward, his figure staggered severely, though the bleeding from his eyes had stopped, he was temporarily blinded, and even his Destruction Eye suffered serious damage.

"It’s him, it’s definitely him!"

Ye Xuan stabilized himself with great effort, internally raging wildly.

Just a glance, merely a glance, confirmed to Ye Xuan that the forbidden entity he sought must be the true form of this statue.

This black statue was not a physical entity, but merely contained a trace of the forbidden entity’s will. By activating his Destruction Eye to pry into it, Ye Xuan had committed a taboo, naturally receiving a counterattack from its will.

Ye Xuan had encountered countless powers and even seen forbidden entities before, but for a statue to injure him, its true form must be the forbidden entity he sought.

Boom!

Suddenly, just as Ye Xuan’s mind descended into chaos, a terrifying aura closed in on him, precisely from the Beast King nearby.

This half-step supreme power had been waiting for this opportunity; he hadn’t taken Ye Xuan back to his own dojo but lured him to the Myriad Beasts Shrine to kill him outright.

Because Ye Xuan’s escape skill was too mysterious, even as a half-step supreme power, the Beast King couldn’t deal with Ye Xuan. Only by relying on the ancestral statue could he bind Ye Xuan, allowing him to strike decisively before Ye Xuan could escape with a "Heavenly Tribulation Transformation".

Half-step supreme power, how formidable it is!

This is the most frightening character beneath the ancient supreme powers. The Beast King’s strike, not to mention full force, certainly carried confidence in subduing Ye Xuan, and Ye Xuan indeed had no time to deploy his "Heavenly Tribulation Transformation," entirely locked by his aura, with no chance to flee.

Crisis! Deadly crisis!

In that instant, Ye Xuan was already wide awake, wanting to initiate his "Heavenly Tribulation Transformation" to escape, but he knew it was too late.
