Chapter 699: 608 Challenge_1

The Red Fire Monkey raised its head to the sky and let out a deafening roar, summoning a multitude of red flames in the void.

A moment later, the red flames transformed into giant fireballs that rushed straight towards Shen Long.

The Eight-Winged Thunderfire Centipede emitted a piercing screech, its body crackling with electricity, as thick silver lightning tore through the sky, striking at Shen Long.

Shen Long opened his mouth and released a yellow soundwave, shattering the incoming giant fireballs and silver lightning.

He released the Iron Tail Scorpion, which let out a shrill hiss, leaving the Red Fire Monkey and Eight-Winged Thunderfire Centipede dazed and confused.

Before they could regain their senses, a Sky-Supporting Giant Cudgel, shimmering with golden light, descended from the heavens and struck the Red Fire Monkey’s head.

The Red Fire Monkey’s head burst open, it bled profusely as it dissipated into specks of spiritual light.

Just as the Eight-Winged Thunderfire Centipede came to its senses, it found the Iron Tail Scorpion appearing in front of it.

The Iron Tail Scorpion exhaled a stream of pungent yellow poison fire, heading straight for the Eight-Winged Thunderfire Centipede.

Electric arcs surged on the surface of the Eight-Winged Thunderfire Centipede as it attempted to dodge, but then the Iron Tail Scorpion emitted another harsh hiss, leaving the centipede reeling, its electric arcs dispersing.

The yellow poison fire landed on the Eight-Winged Thunderfire Centipede, immediately emitting a plume of green smoke as signs of corrosion appeared on its body.

The Iron Tail Scorpion’s stinger shook, and a swath of yellow light rays shot out, continuously striking the Eight-Winged Thunderfire Centipede’s head.

The Eight-Winged Thunderfire Centipede collapsed to the ground, its head now riddled with a row of holes, and then scattered into specks of spiritual light.

Shen Long reached the second floor, where this time, his opponents were four Monster Beasts at the early stage of the fifth rank.

With the cooperation of the Iron Tail Scorpion, Shen Long surged through the challenge like a hot knife through butter, making quick work of the level.

Outside the Thousand Beast Tower, Ni Tianhe and others were observing Soul Transformation Cultivators taking the challenge.

"Is a fifth-rank Iron Tail Scorpion really that formidable? Why do those Monster Beasts seem to slow down?"

"Can’t you tell? That Iron Tail Scorpion is mutated, with no small divine skills, either Divine Sense Attack or Divine Soul Attack."

"It must be Divine Sense Attack, if it were Divine Soul Attack, it wouldn’t need to get close, a direct Divine Soul Attack would be enough to eliminate fifth-rank Monster Beasts."

Quite a few Soul Transformation Cultivators noticed Shen Long and started discussing.

"The Qianling Sect is renowned for insect repelling and beast taming, so it’s not strange for this person to have a Mutated Spirit Insect. Taoist Friend Shangguan has made it to the ninth floor; the question is whether he can breach the tenth."

"The tenth floor conjures sixth-rank Monster Beasts, how could a Soul Transformation Cultivator possibly pass? Even Taoist Friend Wang from the Divine Weapon Sect, who has a Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure that specifically damages the Divine Soul, was no match."

"That’s not necessarily true; the Shangguan Family is a major force of the Human Clan in the Thunder Continent."

Most of the Soul Transformation Cultivators’ gazes were on Shangguan Zilong. With the reputation the Shangguan Family had, they naturally paid more attention to Shangguan Zilong.

On the ninth floor, six Monster Beasts at the late stage of the fifth rank were besieging Shangguan Zilong.

A vast amount of green mist surged from Shangguan Zilong’s body, the mist swirling and transforming into a Green Giant Tiger and a Green Flood Dragon that met the attack head on.

"Dragon Subduing Tiger Taming Skill! This is one of the Shangguan Family’s clan-protecting skills, it seems Young Friend Shangguan is a key member being nurtured by your family," commented Ni Tianting.

Shangguan Yunshang smiled sweetly and said, "The Green Lotus Continent is full of legends and geniuses. Bringing Zilong and the others here was to let them meet the young talents of the Human Clan of the Green Lotus Continent."

"I heard that the Ni Family has a new Spirit Body Practitioner; is he present?" asked Liu Guang out of curiosity.

"Tian Qing is concentrating on his Cultivation in seclusion, and we don’t know when he will leave his retreat," replied Ni Tianhe.

Ni Hongshan explained.

Inside the Thousand Beast Tower on the ninth floor, Shen Long’s expression was solemn.

A Red Fire Monkey, a Rift Valley Rhinoceros, a Chasing Wind Falcon, a Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle, a Multi-Headed Python, and a Three-Eyed Ice Toad successively flew out from the stone walls, attacking Shen Long with the spiritual energy of nature.

Shen Long’s body radiated a bright yellow light, and a sound of cracking bones came from him as he transformed into a huge Yellow Giant Ape.

The Yellow Giant Ape let out an ear-shattering roar and emitted a yellow sound wave, shattering most of the incoming spells.

A thick silver lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking the Yellow Giant Ape, and lightning engulfed its figure.

The vertical eye of the Three-Eyed Ice Toad emitted a white beam of light, heading straight for the Yellow Giant Ape.

A roar that resonated through heaven and earth erupted as a yellow sound wave swept out, dispersing the white beam of light.

Just as they were about to employ other methods, a sharp, piercing screech arose, making it feel as if someone was striking their heads with a stick, causing dizziness and swelling in their brains.

With a fluctuation in the void, a beast paw covered in yellow mane appeared from nowhere and slapped onto the head of the Multi-Headed Python. The python’s head exploded, and it dissipated into specks of spiritual light.

The Yellow Giant Ape emerged from the lightning, landing in front of the Red Fire Monkey. With a punch to the monkey’s head, it burst open like a watermelon, vanishing into motes of spiritual light.

The Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle spat out a thick gold thunderbolt, striking the Yellow Giant Ape, with the golden lightning enveloping its figure.

At the same moment, the Chasing Wind Falcon subtly flapped its wings, sending out numerous green feathers that transformed into green swords, which pierced into the golden lightning, clashing with a metallic sound, as if striking against an iron wall.

A dazzling yellow light shone through, the golden lightning scattered, and the Yellow Giant Ape emerged unscathed, wearing a thick yellow earthen armor.

It stomped its right foot hard against the ground, and gravity intensified.

The Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle and the Chasing Wind Falcon uncontrollably plummeted towards the ground, their bodies shining with spiritual light as they tried to escape the immense gravity, to no avail.

Their bodies rapidly descended, and the Yellow Giant Ape swung its fists, smashing their heads.

With thunderous crashes, their heads were crushed by the Yellow Giant Ape.

The remaining Three-Eyed Ice Toad and the Rift Valley Rhinoceros were no match for the Yellow Giant Ape, and within ten breaths, they were dealt with.

The Yellow Giant Ape reverted to its human form, and Shen Long retracted the Iron Tail Scorpion back into the Spirit Beast Bracelet.

He arrived at the tenth floor, whereupon a clear and resonant bird cry sounded, and a Green Wind Falcon with wings that spanned a hundred yards unfolded flew out from the stone wall.

As soon as the Green Wind Falcon appeared, it summoned its Dharma Nature, and a colossal sparrowhawk shadow manifested in the sky, causing the air inside the hall to cease flowing.

Shen Long’s brows furrowed; he found even breathing difficult.

He radiated yellow light once more, transforming again into the Yellow Giant Ape. He wanted to see how long he could withstand the attack of a sixth-order Green Wind Falcon.

Outside the Thousand Beast Tower, Shangguan Zilong was casually chatting with Ni Tianhe.

"Taoist Friend Shen has also reached the tenth floor. I just don’t know how long he can last there," said Shangguan Zilong.

Ni Tianhe was full of curiosity. Up until now, the highest-ranked was Shangguan Zilong, who had stayed for thirty breaths on the tenth floor and had been injured in the process.

"Madam Qin, Young Friend Shen’s Art of Transformation is not weak at all!" Huo Tianxing complimented.

"Taoist Friend Huo, are you also interested in the Art of Transformation?" Qin Yan asked with a light, teasing smile.
