Beast Taming: I can even raise gods and demons!

Chapter 212 The Monument to Guard the Boundary, the Ancient Demon Realm! (5127 words)

Li Mu left with a grin, holding the six Sumeru Rings.

After discussing the details of the "challenge" with Chen Fan, the principal and the dean of studies also left.

Chen Fan was left with only an empty Sumeru Ring.

Inside the Sumeru Ring, only the "Heaven-Severing Demon Blade" remained.

Within the vast space of the Sumeru Ring, which measures ten zhang in length, width, and height, there is only this one knife.

Chen Fan scanned the space of the Sumeru Ring with his mental power and felt extremely strange.

Without pausing for a moment, he dashed to Shop Number Nine and copied the Gale Thunder Beast's "Lightning Acceleration" and "Lightning Shield" skills onto Little White.

After copying the two skills onto Xiaobai, the system energy remained at 95.7.

To copy these two skills onto yourself, you need 100W of system energy.

Helpless, Chen Fan had no choice but to copy "Lightning Acceleration" onto himself first.

As for "Thunder Shield", let's talk about it after the system energy increases by another 4.

After obtaining the "Lightning Acceleration" ability, Chen Fan immediately took the blind man into the Beast Taming Space.

After activating the "Explore" function in the Beast Taming Space, Chen Fan, Little Skeleton, and Little Black entered the space where they obtained the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade.

Chen Fan originally intended to summon the orange cat.

After all, the orange cat's mental strength far surpasses that of the black cat.

The same move, "Mental Spikes," was executed by the orange cat far more effectively than by the black cat.

But the orange cat was timid as a mouse and refused to come out no matter what.

That's understandable...

A group of skeletons, all level 20 or higher, crawled out of this space at random.

You might accidentally encounter a demon of level 30 or higher.

With the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade in hand and the "Thunder Flash" skill, Chen Fan would still have a chance to escape even if he encountered a level 30+ demon.

But a level 9 orange cat is just too weak.

Like that skeleton demon that was nailed to death by the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade before, if it blew over, the orange cat would be reduced to ashes.

Therefore, inside the Beast Taming Space, the orange cat clung to the blind man's leg and refused to follow Chen Fan into the space, no matter what he said.

Xiao Hei is a little better.

After all, Little Black can fly.

Moreover, the demon-type Little Black is indeed much more adaptable to this strange space than other beast tamers.

After a moment of deep thought, Chen Fan decided not to press the orange cat any further.

……

Step out of the vortex portal.

It's still that strange, unsettling pressure...

Sensing this eerie and terrifying aura, Chen Fan almost turned and ran.

It was as if they were being targeted by some great terror.

It felt like a huge rock was pressing on my heart.

Breathing became difficult.

What kind of hell is this place?!

With a thought, Chen Fan used his mental power to lock onto the "Heaven-Severing Demon Blade" in the Sumeru Ring and took it out.

Although he couldn't truly unleash the power of the demonic blade, holding it tightly gave him a greater sense of security.

This eerie space is truly terrifying.

When he faced the level 40 demon of the Nightmare Court in the Seven Star Mountain Water Cloud Stream, although he felt fear, he also felt an uncontrollable excitement.

But Chen Fan couldn't get excited at all in this space.

The air was filled with an indescribable malice and despair.

There are vengeful spirits screaming mournfully.

A demon is whispering.

A faint, cold laugh emanated from the deep, bottomless cracks.

Bones were scattered everywhere...

Like a dark and hellish place!

Even though Chen Fan had erected a mental barrier, he still felt that staying in this place for too long would definitely drive him insane!

"call!"

Chen Fan exhaled a heavy breath and activated "Lightning Acceleration," rushing towards the long sword that had transformed into a "mountain" like a bolt of lightning.

He had overheard what Li Mu and the blind old man had said.

According to Li Mu, the long sword in his hand should be a projection of the "mountain" in front of him.

Carrying this real Heaven-Slaying Demon Blade, approaching that "mountain" might yield some useful information.

Behind them, a black mist swirled around the little skeleton, transforming into a black whirlwind that caught up with Chen Fan.

Then, Little Black flapped its wings wildly in the air, shouting as it flew, "Wait for me, wait for me!"

Chen Fan stopped in his tracks, speechless.

Little Black flapped its wings and howled as it chased after the little skeleton, landing on its shoulder.

"waste!"

Chen Fan glared at Xiao Hei and said, "Your race level is already at the mid-level monarch level, and although your combat power level is only level 11, it's comparable to a level 20 beast tamer of mid-level transcendence. How come you're still flying so slowly?"

Little Black blinked, not daring to answer, but said to the little skeleton, "Little skeleton, I have granted you permission to become my mount; you should feel honored!"

The little skeleton didn't react.

Little Black said again, "Alright, my skeleton mount, get moving!"

The little skeleton slowly raised its left arm.

Chen Fan and Xiao Hei both stared at the little skeleton's hand.

Just then, when the little skeleton raised its hand to its chest, it flipped its palm upward, revealing its middle finger to the little black creature.

Little Black: "Master, the little skeleton has turned bad!"

Chen Fan scratched his head: "Who taught him this?"

Little Black cackled, "It can't be me anyway, I don't have fingers."

Chen Fan shook his head and activated "Lightning Acceleration" again.

The little skeleton, carrying a bone knife, quickly followed.

It seemed to have sensed Chen Fan's presence.

Demons kept crawling out of the cracks.

Besides the skeleton demons we'd seen before, there were many other strange and grotesque demons.

There are bone dragons that are five or six zhang long;

There were monsters covered in sharp spikes;

There are lizard demons that are nothing but skeletons;

There is also a monster that is left with only a skull, but the skull has wings;

What left Chen Fan speechless was that there was also a monster that was reduced to just a bone...

A leg bone, shrouded in black mist, emitted a strange laugh, and pounced on Chen Fan like a hungry wolf eyeing meat.

In the world of monsters, skeleton monsters can fly, burrow underground, cook, and talk, and Chen Fan doesn't find it strange at all.

But a bone also wandered out for a stroll...

Chen Fan didn't even use the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade; he simply stomped the bone into the ground.

"boom!"

Even though he was already at the fifth rank, a casual stomp of his foot still created a large crater in the ground.

But the bone was completely unharmed.

"call!"

The bone let out a strange laugh, then flew up and released a cloud of black mist toward Chen Fan.

The black mist, like a dragon, swirled towards Chen Fan.

In the dim light, Chen Fan could see that within the black mist, skulls were scattered everywhere, and countless vengeful spirits were howling mournfully!

A single blow from a bone is more powerful than any of those level 20 monsters we've encountered before!

No wonder this bone was faster than those skeleton demons behind it.

Chen Fan let out a cold shout and slashed down with his "Heaven-Severing Demon Blade".

He didn't pour much star power into the longsword, but with just this casual strike, he shattered the black mist, which resembled a black dragon, into nothingness!

Bone paused for a moment before noticing the long knife in Chen Fan's hand.

Immediately...

"Rage!"

The bone let out a sharp shriek and turned to flee into the distance!

"Hey, where do you think you're going!"

Xiao Hei shouted and fired a "Mental Spike" that struck the fleeing Bone!

A scream came from the bone, which then fell to the ground with a thud.

The little skeleton swayed and caught up with the bone, stretching out its left hand and grabbing the bone with lightning speed!

Black energy surged from the bones, releasing a terrifying power as it tried to break free from the little skeleton's claws.

Seeing this, Xiao Hei launched one "mental spike" after another.

The bone screamed in agony as it was struck by the sharp spikes of the spirit.

At that moment, lightning crackled in the sky as Chen Fan used Lightning Flash to rush over, extending his left hand, his palm blazing with light...

"Snap!"

The lightning power of the "Thunder Spear" instantly crushed the dark remnants of the soul on the bones.

The bones, which had been making strange noises, became completely silent.

Chen Fan was about to speak...

The little skeleton then lowered its head and dislocated the bone from its right leg.

Chen Fan: "..."

Xiao Hei: "..."

The little skeleton tossed the severed leg bone aside, then pressed the leg bone it had just grabbed onto its right leg.

This leg bone is a little longer than the little skeleton's original leg bone.

The little skeleton is like a child.

But the leg bone was clearly that of an adult.

The little skeleton felt that its legs were a bit uncoordinated, black energy surged around its body, and it stomped its right foot hard on the ground.

"Bang!"

Amidst the flying pebbles, the newly implanted leg bone shrank considerably.

The aura emanating from the little skeleton was much stronger than before!

Is this okay?

Chen Fan looked at the little skeleton and chuckled to himself.

At this moment, hordes of demons caught up from behind.

Chen Fan frowned.

Among these demons, the highest level is only level 27.

With the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade in hand, he wasn't afraid of demons of this level.

But this land is riddled with countless cracks and teeming with demons, making it impossible to exterminate them all.

Sudden……

The little skeleton's finger gently touched Chen Fan's hand, then pointed to the right.

"Is there anything over there?"

Chen Fan was slightly taken aback.

The little skeleton nodded.

"Walk!"

Chen Fan moved swiftly, and he and the little skeleton ran quickly in that direction.

The large group of demons that were chasing behind were now further separated.

……

Even at Chen Fan's current speed, it took him more than two hours to see what the little skeleton had mentioned.

It was a section of a stone tablet buried diagonally in the ground.

The stone tablet was enormous, exceeding twenty zhang in width, and its length... because only a small portion was visible above the ground, Chen Fan was unsure of its exact length.

Weeds grew rampant around the stone tablet.

Even the weeds emitted a faint glow, with surging starlight emanating outwards!

An ancient and weathered aura wafts over you.

Chen Fan suddenly felt as if he had stepped into the ancient, primordial world.

Time seemed to stand still.

"What kind of monument is this? A tombstone?"

Chen Fan circled the stone tablet and looked at the little skeleton.

The little skeleton shook its head.

His knowledge was also limited.

Through telepathic communication, Chen Fan only knew that the stone tablet already existed after the little skeleton awakened its intelligence.

Countless years have passed, and the stone tablet has remained here unchanged.

The only thing that has truly changed is the weeds all around.

The stone tablet seemed to emanate a strange aura; ordinary demons who approached it would feel immense pain and would eventually be reduced to ashes.

But after a few tries, the little skeleton discovered that it could get close.

Therefore, when faced with powerful demons and with nowhere to escape, the little skeleton would run towards the stone tablet.

Those powerful demons dared not approach.

The area around this stone tablet became a sanctuary for the little skeleton.

The weeds near the stone tablet, after growing for many years, possessed immense stellar power and were also used as food by the little skeletons.

"strangeness……"

Chen Fan looked up and stroked his chin: "I didn't sense any powerful aura within this stone tablet."

In Chen Fan's perception, the stone tablet appeared to be made of ordinary stone, simple and unadorned.

On the contrary, the surrounding weeds seemed to be spiritual herbs that had grown for thousands or tens of thousands of years, shimmering with spiritual light and surging with star power.

"Hey, there are words!"

Chen Fan noticed that there were some words faintly visible on the stone tablet.

He gently placed his palm on the stone tablet, then channeled his star power...

"call!"

The energy spread out, instantly shaking away the moss and dust on the stone tablet.

After the moss and dust were removed, four strange characters appeared on the stone tablet.

but……

Chen Fan didn't recognize a single word.

Blinking, Chen Fan's voice rang out in the Beast Taming Space: "Blind Grandpa, do you recognize these four characters? Is this the script of the Heavenly Feather Realm?"

Inside the Beast Taming Space, the blind man remained silent for a long while before saying, "I don't recognize it; it's not from the Heavenly Feather Realm."

Chen Fan pouted: "If we don't know each other, we don't know each other... Why are you taking so long to think about it?"

"Although I don't recognize the characters, I've seen them before," the blind man said. "Do you remember what I told you before... When the Heavenly Feather Realm was struck by a great calamity, the Human Emperor's Staff pierced through the sky and saved the entire Heavenly Feather Realm."

"That's the script on the emperor's staff!"

Chen Fan was taken aback: "There are words on the Emperor's Staff? What do they say?"

The blind man said speechlessly, "I already said I don't recognize it... That staff is incredibly strange, with a sinister skull embedded at the top, and the same words written on the staff as on this stone tablet, but we don't recognize them at all."

"However, it was later handed over to the Human Emperor, and the staff was named the 'Human Emperor's Staff'."

Chen Fan pondered, "So, my Heaven-Slaying Demon Blade, the Human Emperor's Staff, and this stone tablet might all come from the same world?"

The blind man did not speak.

The blind man in the Beast Taming Space, "looking" at the stone tablet in front of Chen Fan, also fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Chen Fan gently tapped the stone tablet.

Two muffled thuds came from the stone tablet.

Chen Fan picked up the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade in his hand, but after thinking for a moment, he put it down and drew the sword from its sheath on his back.

Then, he waved his hand gently, signaling the little skeleton to take Little Black away to a distance.

After the little skeleton and Little Black had gone far away, Chen Fan took the long sword he used before in his left hand and gently poked it at the stone tablet...

"boom!"

An extremely terrifying force rebounded from the stone tablet!

Chen Fan spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying like a cannonball!

The little skeleton and the black cat were terrified and rushed over like a whirlwind to help Chen Fan up.

"..."

Inside the Beast Taming Space, the blind man was dumbfounded!

You should know that although he did not enter that space, he added a layer of protection for Chen Fan as a precaution!

Chen Fan simply took the long sword he used before and gently poked it. The rebounding force of the stone tablet shattered the protection he had added.

This……

What terrifying power this is!

"Xiao Fan!"

The blind man shouted, "How are you? Are you alright?"

As soon as Chen Fan stood up, his already damaged armor shattered into countless fragments and fell to the ground with a whoosh.

"I'm fine."

Chen Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath, and said, "The protective barrier you added for me has been shattered."

The blind man was terrified: "Get out of there immediately!"

"Whatever you do, don't touch that stone tablet again!"

Just then...

Chen Fan's eyes widened in disbelief!

The blood he had just spat onto the stone tablet suddenly merged into the stone tablet!

next moment……

The four large characters on the stone tablet began to gleam with a faint light!

"The Ancient Demon Realm!"

At that moment, Chen Fan's mind went blank for a moment, and then he suddenly recognized those four big characters!

"This is the ancient demon realm!"

Chen Fan murmured, "Those four big characters... Ancient Demon Realm!"

After glancing silently at the four large characters, Chen Fan did not retreat but instead advanced slowly towards the stone tablet.

Inside the Beast Taming Space, the blind man, who had been pondering Chen Fan's words, was immediately shocked when he saw Chen Fan walk over: "You..."

"There's no danger anymore," Chen Fan said. "This stone tablet won't hurt me anymore."

After the blood seeped into the stone tablet, Chen Fan felt an indescribable familiar aura emanating from it.

There was a hint of apology in that aura...

It was the other person who hurt him that made him feel sorry!

Although he couldn't quite put his finger on it, Chen Fan was certain in his heart that this stone tablet was like the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade...

No one else can touch it.

He can touch it!

really……

Upon approaching, Chen Fan gently patted the stone tablet.

No force of rebound was released from the stone tablet.

After a moment of silence, Chen Fan walked around to the side of the stone tablet and hugged it with both hands.

"Um?"

The blind man in the beast-taming space was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing?"

Chen Fan didn't answer, but instead hugged the stone tablet and shouted, "Rise!"

"Boom!"

The ground around the stone tablet trembled violently!

"..."

Even the blind man was stunned!

You actually went to dig for something this terrifying?!

Do you still want to bring this thing out?

"Boom!"

The earthquake shook even more violently.

But the stone tablet remained completely still!

With Chen Fan's fifth-grade cultivation, if he exerts all his strength, he can shake even a small mountain!

But the stone tablet that was associated with him remained motionless!

"I can't move it..."

Chen Fan squinted and spread his arms wide: "If the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade can become my divine weapon, why can't you?"

The stone tablet reads: "..."

The blind man roared, "Didn't you just mutter something about 'the ancient demon realm'?"

"That might be the boundary marker!"

"How could you possibly move the boundary marker?"

"Come back quickly!"

Chen Fan glanced at the stone tablet with infinite regret, then opened the portal to the Beast Taming Space and returned to the Beast Taming Space with Little Skeleton and Little Black.

What kind of place is the Ancient Demon Realm?

As soon as he returned to the Beast Taming Space, Chen Fan asked, "You've never heard of this place before, have you?"

"Nonsense, I'm an old man and I don't even recognize those four characters..." The blind man smacked his lips but didn't say anything.

Chen Fan walked towards another door and said, "Let's go check behind the other doors first. Does each door represent a different realm?"

"Is it possible that behind one of the doors lies Earth, or the Celestial Feather Realm?"
