Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 720 Elephant Lord
After traveling another thousand kilometers, a second army of ferocious beasts appeared, numbering more than forty thousand, including some of the beasts that had previously fled.

A roar sounded.

The second major battle has begun.

Before long, the mammoth army defeated the enemy, collected the corpses, rested the troops, and continued on their way.

Every thousand kilometers they travel, they engage in a major battle, then collect the flesh and corpses, rest, and continue onward.

During the fifth battle, the eight-toothed mammoth clan was reduced to only 80,000.

The total number of ferocious beasts on the opposite side also reached 80,000, the highest ever.

Among the new enemy groups are even demigod races residing in the ancestral lands.

They, too, are the testers of their ancestral land.

The two armies, roughly equal in size, collided like two continental plates.

The Ice and Snow Cult's magic masters made their first move.

Their main role was to prevent excessive losses in the mammoth herd and to preserve their strength.

Since outside groups are not allowed to launch direct attacks, the magic masters only use non-harmful magic spells.

The main warriors, such as the eight-toothed mammoth, were covered with layers of thick ice.

A large number of wounded soldiers were evacuated to the rear and treated by the magic masters of the Ice and Snow Cult.

The two armies, like two giant millstones, collided and spun around each other, annihilating one another.

A furious roar, a dying scream, shattered bones, splattered blood, flying flesh and blood...

The battlefield turned into a swamp of blood and flesh.

Every ferocious beast present was both the blade of a meat grinder and the meat itself.

Zhou Leng remained seated, watching quietly.

This is not the stage for demigod leaders.

This was completely different from the previous battles.

This battle lasted from dawn until night.

They fought from night until the new sun rose.

Under the long morning light, the eight-toothed mammoth stood tall on the battlefield.

Blood and light draped them.

"Ow..."

The eight-toothed mammoths raised their trunks and roared in celebration.

After a day of rest, the army set off again.

The number has plummeted to 40,000.

No ferocious beasts showed any fear, and no ferocious beasts retreated.

They were even more excited and delighted.

A thousand kilometers later, a new enemy blocked their way.

But the strongest enemy has been defeated, gaining the recognition of various ferocious beasts and spreading fear among the eight-toothed mammoths.

The new enemy force numbers less than ten thousand.

The army surged forward, trampling through the land.

……

After three days and three nights, the army stopped in front of a mountain range.

Zhou Leng looked ahead and saw towering mountains, each about a thousand meters high.

Unlike ordinary mountain ranges that are connected in a line, these mountains are arranged in a ring, forming one circle after another.

The elders of the eight-toothed mammoth walked down to the palace, with the magic master acting as their translator.

"Chief, Zhou Tianjihan, ascend to the First Starry Sky Altar."

Zhou Leng nodded, walked out of the palace, and headed towards the mountains.

The master eight-toothed mammoths followed behind.

The other ferocious beasts looked up, their eyes filled with anticipation and respect.

In the distant valley.

A wounded flying bear arrived in the valley to deliver a message to the garrison there.

"The journey to our ancestral homeland went very smoothly!"

"As expected, our race has already approached the First Star Altar."

"Victory belongs to us!"

The three thousand Zhao clan warriors were immediately invigorated.

"Three thousand Zhao clans can swallow up Zhou!"

The Zhao family scions clenched their fists and murmured under their breath.

A ring of mountains.

Zhou Leng led the Grandmasters to the Starry Sky Altar nestled in the mountains.

The earth is covered with all kinds of boulders, which are connected in rings.

There are hundreds of huge rings from the center to the edge.

Time has left its mottled marks on it.

The largest ring has a diameter of over three kilometers.

The other ferocious beast masters stood outside the circle, while Zhou Leng stepped onto the circle and walked towards the center.

This is the First Starry Sky Altar.

The altar is surrounded by seventeen mountains, each a kilometer high.

The stone walls facing this side of each mountain are neat and flat, and are carved with various intricate patterns.

After Zhou Leng arrived at the center, the Mammoth Elders looked at each other.

A hint of hesitation flickered in their eyes.

Because, in terms of bloodline, Zhou Leng is very likely not a ferocious ape, and is far removed from the eight-toothed mammoth clan.

This first star altar was mainly for confirming bloodline, identity, and qualifications.

Occasionally, some ferocious beasts will come here and be unable to activate the Starry Sky Altar, resulting in failure.

However, they also felt that a being that possessed ancient beast techniques could not be an ordinary ferocious beast; it was very likely some kind of advanced form of ferocious beast.

Perhaps, humans on Earth were originally a branch of ferocious beasts.

The Ten Realms may all be filled with ferocious beasts, just with different appearances.

The Mammoth Elders didn't pray for any miracles; they only hoped that Zhou Leng could obtain the most basic qualifications and enter the ancestral land.

The mammoth elders lined up in various places, pouring out billowing red liquid.

All the corpses from the previous battle were shredded into blood and flowed into the Starry Sky Altar.

The blood plasma flowed for a while and then disappeared.

Once all the blood plasma had been injected, the Starry Sky Altar emitted a faint white light.

Zhou Leng looked at the Mammoth Elders, who nodded slightly.

He took out a huge white mammoth tusk from the Starry Sky Bag.

It is fifteen meters long and resembles a crescent moon, suspended above the altar.

Countless rays of light converged on the mammoth tusk. The rays collided continuously, like carving knives, sculpting magnificent patterns on the mammoth tusk.

When the carving was completed, the mammoth tusk trembled violently, causing the earth to shake.

Rumble…

The mountains swayed.

A massive beam of divine light, as thick as the altar, shot into the sky.

Zhou Leng stood amidst the reverse-flowing divine waterfall, holding ivory in both hands, appearing sacred and majestic.

All the ferocious beasts looked up at the sky.

The beam of light shot into the starry sky, disappearing into some unknown place.

The beam of light continued uninterrupted for a long time, and the ferocious beasts waited patiently.

Under the pitch-black sky, the beam of light was like a tiny candle flame.

Suddenly, the sky brightened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The ferocious beasts were horrified. There was no sun, nor was it daytime, but high in the sky, countless stars flowed and rotated.

Countless galaxies were disturbed, and on the dark sky, they arranged themselves into a giant mammoth-shaped beast.

There were so many stars, and they were so close together, that they illuminated the entire earth as brightly as day.

The eight-toothed mammoths grinned foolishly.

Ancient Beast Constellation.

This is the highest level of recognition from the Starry Sky Altar.

A powerful ancient beast with a similar bloodline responded to the sacrifice at the Starry Sky Altar.

But some of the older eight-toothed mammoths suddenly changed their expressions, looking somewhat helpless yet also a little happy.

The ferocious beasts are quite different from other races.

The more promising a junior is, the more relentlessly they are tested and honed.

If it's a regular starry sky recognition, it's completed directly.

However, now the Ancient Beast constellation has been activated. The other party is a god in the universe, and it's impossible for it to just end by drawing a picture with the stars.

A crack appeared in the sky.

A fiery meteor, trailing a long tail of flame and accompanied by a tremendous roar, fell from the sky.

boom!
It crashed into the altar.

Amidst the raging flames, a colossal black elephant emerged.

This giant elephant is different from the hairy mammoth; it is smaller than the demigod mammoth.

It is about seven stories high.

Its skin is dark, and the rest of its body is not much different from that of an ordinary elephant, except that it has many golden patterns.

However, the sides and forehead of this elephant are extremely different.

His sides and forehead were recessed into square blocks, like shrines, arranged neatly.

The shrine does not house deities, but rather a variety of creatures with different appearances, including ferocious beasts, demons, and other races.

The beings in these shrines are imprisoned by chains, and their eyes burn with crimson flames.

From a distance, the giant elephant looked particularly terrifying.

"Demon-Suppressing Elephant Lord..."

The beast elders present were filled with despair.

The Demon-Suppressing Elephant Lord is a high-level ferocious beast, only a little short of approaching the level of an ancient star beast. Its ancient beast bloodline concentration far surpasses that of all other ferocious beasts in the ferocious beast world.

In legend, the Demon-Suppressing Elephant Lord is one of the ten strongest bloodlines below the ancient beasts.

In theory, all elephant and mammoth species in the world of ferocious beasts are subordinates of the Demon-Suppressing Elephant Lord.

The Demon-Suppressing Elephant Lord walked slowly, his entire body covered in countless shrines, within which pairs of fiery eyes gleamed eerily.

The Demon-Suppressing Elephant Lord roared as it slowly circled around Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng couldn't understand what he was saying, but the eight-toothed mammoth could understand most of it.

It turns out that the newly ascended demigod, Demon-Suppressing Elephant Lord, was resting at home, but for some reason, he was sent here by the gods.

However, no matter what, he must follow the will of the gods, fight with all his might, and kill the enemy.

Even if they are of the same race.

Kill him, and you will gain the favor of the gods and obtain his bloodline power.

If you are killed by him, he will absorb the power of the defeated.

In addition, he spoke some words that even an eight-toothed mammoth couldn't understand.

Just as the eight-toothed mammoth was about to relay the message to Zhou Leng, the Demon-Suppressing Elephant Lord let out a low roar, charging towards them like a seven-story building.

It reached a speed of Mach 20 in an instant.

It is also a demigod, but with such a huge size, it far surpasses the undead beasts encountered in the True King's Land.

It also surpasses demons and demigods.

Arriving like a mountain.

Faced with such a massive enemy, much of humanity's martial arts have become ineffective.

The only option is war.

The sun rises in Zhou Leng's abdomen, its light shining faintly beneath his skin, and the starry sky truly seems to be in motion.

Sensing the true energy of the starry sky, the Demon-Suppressing Elephant Lord suddenly braked, turned, squinted, and roared at Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng ignored what he was saying and charged forward.

The Demon-Suppressing Elephant Lord dodged a few punches, but soon lost his temper and became extremely ferocious.

Then he saw that the corpses in the shrine all shone brightly, as if they were demons praying for him.

A massive surge of power rushed into his body, causing it to swell and his skin to suddenly crack.

What gushed out from the crack was not his flesh and blood, but the white bones of various tribes.

His power suddenly rose to a new level.

He stomped on the ground and charged forward again, his speed increasing once more.

Zhou Leng neither dodged nor evaded, but instead delivered the strongest punch he could currently control.

The twenty-third move of the East Wind Fist: Divine Light Heavenly Explosion.

His right fist resembled a cracked nuclear reactor, radiating intense light.

The Demon-Suppressing Elephant Lord brandished its trunk and charged at Zhou Leng with its tusks.

His right fist collided with the ivory, a burst of divine light erupted, and a violent force erupted.

boom!
Zhou Leng flew backwards for several kilometers like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the mountain at the edge of the altar before sliding down.

The massive body of the Demon-Suppressing Elephant Lord rolled backward, finally reaching the end of the altar, where it stood up unsteadily, shaking its head repeatedly.

His huge eyes were knocked askew, and he kept trying to turn them back to their right position. The elephant's head was tilted at least 15 degrees to the right, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't straighten it.

Once his eyes recovered, he tilted his head and looked at the ivory, then flew into a rage.

The right ivory has an extra pit and its surface is covered with cracks.

Ivory is the pride of the Demon-Suppressing Elephant Lord clan, and it is the most beautiful part of their entire body.

A crack in ivory is equivalent to a disfigurement.
