Beast Taming: I can even raise gods and demons!

Chapter 247 Ancient Palace (5555 words)

"It's over, Master is dead, we can't wake him up..."

"Little skeleton, stab your master with your bone knife... You bastard, why are you stabbing me? Believe me or not, I'll give you a mental spike!"

"Little White, use your lightning to shock your master."

"Damn it, you're the one who shocks your master, and you shock me instead... Fine, I'll give him a mental spike instead..."

Chen Fan was furious.

That bastard Xiao Hei...

He was just taking a nap, but he kept nagging on the side, wanting to use lightning and mental spikes!

Chen Fan opened his eyes, stretched out his hand, and used his mental power to grab Xiao Hei.

He grabbed Xiao Hei with one hand and used the other to beat Xiao Hei's head repeatedly.

Little Black was so dizzy from the beating that he staggered and grabbed Little Green's tail to use as a blanket, covering himself with it.

Xiaoqing glanced at Xiaohei speechlessly.

This guy's itching for a beating again after a few days without getting a beating.

Chen Fan stretched and looked at Xiaobai: "How long have I been asleep?"

Xiao Bai tilted its head slightly, gently patted Chen Fan's face, and said telepathically, "Three...three days!"

Jade: "Chirp chirp chirp! (Yes, yes!)"

Have you been sleeping for three days?

Chen Fan rubbed his temples, looked up, and was immediately taken aback.

No wonder Xiao Hei kept yelling on the side...

In the distance ahead, a colossal palace stood completely frozen!

A palace with gates that are a kilometer high!

Although he was still far from the palace, looking at it from this perspective, Chen Fan still felt as small as an ant!

This palace... isn't for people to live in, is it?

Chen Fan was awestruck by the palace's immense size and magnificence, and a slight tremor ran through his heart as well...

After running around the ancient god realm for so many days, all I've seen are wastelands and glaciers, and demons everywhere.

This time, I finally saw something different.

Where there are palaces, there are likely to be people!

or……

god!

Chen Fan became a little nervous.

He checked the time.

It should be around 10 PM outside...

Chen Fan had a thought and used telepathy to tell Xiaobai and the others: "Xiaobai, Gangzi, you two go back to the Beast Taming Space first."

Not just for beginners...

Chen Fan kept only the Illusion Demon and sent Little White and the Old Ape back to the Beast Taming Space.

After all, the Phantom Demon is already level 35.

Then, with a thought, the light from the Sumeru Ring on his right hand flickered...

"Click!"

The Heaven-Severing Demon Blade, which had been stored in the Sumeru Ring, was now in Chen Fan's hand.

"Walk!"

Chen Fan, carrying the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade, gave the Illusion Demon a command.

Something's a bit strange...

The phantom seemed to be very resistant.

The closer they got to the palace, the stronger the phantom demon's resistance became.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Fan was a little surprised and communicated with the Illusion Demon through his thoughts.

The next moment, he felt it.

The phantom is afraid...

It couldn't say what was inside the palace ahead.

But the Phantom Demon sensed a terrifying threat emanating from within!

Chen Fan summoned Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei: "..."

Chen Fan said, "Xiao Hei, what do you feel when you look at that palace?"

"..." Little Black paused for a moment and said, "I don't really feel anything, it just seems a bit fancy... It's just a nest, why make it so big? We birds are more practical, we can make a nest with just a few twigs..."

Chen Fan glanced at Xiao Hei.

If he didn't know that Shen Daodao didn't know this kind of illusion magic, he would have suspected that the little black creature in front of him was Shen Daodao in disguise.

Chen Fan frowned: "Didn't you sense a terrifying aura?"

Xiao Hei blinked: "No... Is there anything in this world more terrifying than the aura emanating from your blade?"

Chen Fan kicked Xiao Hei back into the Beast Taming Space.

Xiao Hei didn't sense anything unusual at all.

The phantom beneath their feet was still trembling with fear.

The closer you get to the palace, the greater the fear!

no way……

Chen Fan also sent the Illusion Demon back to the Beast Taming Space.

He turned his head and glanced at it.

There was not a single demon behind him.

It was not like this before.

Although the Phantom Demon is fast, there will always be demons relentlessly pursuing it.

But now, there isn't a single demon behind us.

This reminded Chen Fan of the boundary markers of the four realms, including the Ancient God Realm.

The void demons that crawled out of the cracks dared not approach any further than a long distance from the town's boundary marker.

Chen Fan looked up and glanced to his left...

The towering pillar is still clearly visible.

No matter how long you walk, no matter how fast you walk, the Heavenly Pillar is always in sight, neither getting closer nor farther away.

Chen Fan deployed the defenses on his armor, then, carrying the Heaven-Slaying Demon Blade, walked step by step toward the frozen palace ahead.

The cold was so intense it chilled you to the bone.

Silent and still.

The enormous palace was like a giant beast opening its blood-red maw, waiting for Chen Fan to deliver himself inside.

As Chen Fan approached the palace, he released his spiritual power and probed into its interior.

There are restrictions...

After his spiritual power probed into the palace, it was reflected back in many places.

A stream of spiritual energy quickly circled the palace.

nobody.

There is no God.

No living creatures were found.

Chen Fan was still very nervous.

It's not surprising that there are gods in the ancient god realm.

It's normal that he couldn't detect the gods of the Ancient God Realm given his mental strength.

The unknown always evokes fear.

Chen Fan climbed the steps one by one.

Even though his mental energy couldn't detect anything, he remained tense and cautious, afraid that his heavy footsteps might awaken some terrifying being.

too big……

Stepping onto the last step and standing on the platform, the sight before him once again sent a jolt through Chen Fan's heart.

An ancient and weathered aura wafts over you.

A sudden, indescribable sadness welled up in Chen Fan's heart.

What exactly is this place?

The sound of the five-colored divine stone became even clearer.

However, Chen Fan vaguely felt that the Five-Colored Divine Stone was not inside this palace.

Chen Fan tightened his grip on the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade and walked inside step by step.

Inside the Beast Taming Space, the blind man was even more nervous than him: "A miracle! This must be a miracle left over from ancient times!"

Xiao Hei raised his head slightly: "Perhaps it's just a palace inhabited by some giant race?"

The blind man slapped Xiao Hei away.

Xiao Bai and Gangzi weren't nervous at all. They followed Chen Fan's "camera" with curiosity, just like watching TV, occasionally pointing and making comments.

……

Empty and desolate...

As Chen Fan walked through the empty, enormous palace, he suddenly felt an indescribable loneliness.

There was a time when I had this feeling in my dreams.

Such palaces also exist in my dreams.

That was the palace of Empress Ye Hongyan, the Queen of the Capital.

But this palace was not quite the same as the one in my dream.

The palace of the Dutian Night Clan in my dream was even more extravagant and magnificent than this.

Chen Fan felt oppressed and wanted to shout out loud.

Time passed little by little...

As he walked, he channeled his spiritual energy, following the enormous corridors that stretched towards the entire palace.

Even after the entire interior of the palace was fully visualized in his mind, he still did not discover the existence of humans or gods.

There wasn't even the slightest abnormality.

Inside the palace, besides the runes inscribed on the walls and the restrictions placed on them, there were also huge statues on both sides of the passageway.

Each of these statues is hundreds of meters tall, clad in divine armor and wielding divine weapons.

Without exception, they were all encased in ice.

At first glance, it looks like an ice sculpture.

Under Chen Fan's mental probing, all the statues were devoid of any aura, and there was not a trace of energy fluctuation around them.

Chen Fan did not find any other strange places.

There were no obstacles...

Chen Fan paused for a moment, then turned left at a bend.

Although he hadn't gone far, his mental energy had already scanned the entire palace in that time.

This enormous palace has four floors.

At the very top, there is an empty throne.

On that throne, Chen Fan sensed fluctuations of divine power.

That was a very pure divine power.

Although it cannot compare to his Void Divine Power, it is thousands or even tens of thousands of times stronger than the Star Power of Beast Tamers or Star Warriors in the outside world.

Chen Fan followed the passage and climbed the steps.

He didn't know why, even though his mental energy couldn't detect anything or sense any danger, he just didn't dare to run fast or use his mental energy to fly.

This enormous palace was completely empty, yet it still exuded an eeriness.

"Da, da, da!"

Chen Fan's footsteps echoed through the palace, neither hurried nor slow.

Like walking through the primordial void...

Chen Fan seemed to have lost his sense of time and didn't know how long he had walked until he reached the throne that his spiritual power had detected.

The enormous throne was surrounded by a seven-colored divine light.

Beside the throne, a greatsword was stuck in the ground...

It really is a greatsword, a greatsword that is a hundred meters tall.

When Chen Fan first saw it, he thought it was a pillar.

Around them sat rows of strangely shaped statues.

Some statues hold axes;

Some statues hold swords;

Some of the statues are holding longbows...

The statues we saw earlier were all standing.

These statues, however, are all seated.

Each statue is lifelike.

But Chen Fan did not sense any signs of life.

Chen Fan took a deep breath and looked at the throne again.

The throne, like the statues, was frozen.

But on the throne, a seven-colored divine power flowed.

How many years has this throne been there?

What kind of being could possess power that has remained in this place for so many years?

Sudden……

The voice of the five-colored divine stone rang out: "Sit...up."

What?

Chen Fan was taken aback, thinking he had misheard.

But the voice of the five-colored divine stone rang out again: "Sit...on...the...throne..."

Chen Fan remained silent for a moment, then gripped the Heaven-Slaying Demon Blade tightly, took a few steps forward, and sat on the throne.

"call!"

On the throne, a burst of seven-colored light erupted, instantly enveloping Chen Fan.

next moment……

All the seven-colored light disappeared.

Chen Fan also vanished without a trace!

In the main hall, a huge statue carrying a bow and arrow suddenly opened its eyes and looked at the throne.

"You...are back..."

The sound echoed in the main hall.

But Chen Fan could no longer hear.

Chen Fan felt a sudden dizziness, and the scene before him changed, placing him in a strange place.

"This is……"

Chen Fan looked up.

He stood in the middle of an altar.

The altar is surrounded by towering mountains and lush vegetation.

"This...is not the Ancient God Realm!"

Here, too, are countless cracks.

The crack was bottomless.

This place also possesses the same terrifying aura of the ancient god realm.

But that aura was much weaker, like that of the Fifth Forbidden Zone...

The fifth forbidden zone?!

Chen Fan's expression changed drastically as he looked around.

Standing atop the high altar, one cannot see the towering divine pillars of the ancient god realm.

But then, Chen Fan saw a palace!

The entire palace was built on a mountain that soared into the clouds.

The palace almost completely enveloped the mountain peak!

Its surface is dotted with strangely shaped rocks, pavilions, towering palaces, and magnificent buildings, creating a grand and imposing atmosphere.

Unlike the ancient temple palace, here there is no ice; it's like springtime, with lush trees and birdsong echoing through the secluded mountains.

High above, a beam of light shone down, making the palace appear exceptionally sacred.

"Come...come here..."

The voice of the Five-Colored Divine Stone rang in Chen Fan's mind, startling him greatly!

Before this, the sound of the Five-Colored Divine Stone was always faint and barely audible.

Even in the fifth restricted area, it's the same.

But the sound from the Five-Colored Divine Stone just now was as if the Five-Colored Divine Stone was right in front of us!

The sound is crystal clear!

Chen Fan's eyes widened as he looked at the palace atop the mountain ahead.

The voice of the five-colored divine stone came from that palace!

The Five-Colored Divine Stone is meant to take me to that palace!

Overjoyed, Chen Fan leaped into the air, channeling his spiritual power...

"Bang!"

As soon as he leaped up, he felt an inexplicable pressure like a mountain suddenly strike him, causing him to fall flat on his face beneath the altar!

"What happened?"

Chen Fan was startled and got up.

Standing below the altar, he twisted his neck and moved his hands and feet.

everything is normal.

His mental energy surged forth once more, lifting him three feet off the ground...

A vast and unfathomable power surged forth once more.

"Bang!"

Chen Fan pressed down hard, his feet leaving two deep footprints in the ground!

At this moment, the blind man's voice rang out from within the Beast Taming Space: "Xiao Fan, this place is probably protected by a restriction; flying is impossible!"

Unable to fly?

Chen Fan frowned, then activated "Lightning Acceleration" and ran towards the palace atop the mountain ahead.

"Sizzle!"

Having activated the second level of the Void Divine Body, Chen Fan activated lightning to accelerate, and his speed far surpassed that of the Illusion Demon. In a flash, he darted far away.

……

Almost at the same time.

The fifth restricted area...

Under the guidance of the powerful figures from the Heavenly Demon Sect, the strong from various factions found the weakest point in the barrier and set up an array there, attempting to shake the barrier with the array.

But it still didn't work...

"Let's wait a little longer."

The short-haired woman from the Heavenly Demon Sect said, "It will be 11 p.m. soon. At 11 p.m., a strange force will surge outward from this location within the barrier."

"That was when the barrier was at its weakest."

"At that time, if we all join forces, we may be able to tear a small opening in this barrier."

The group of people around nodded.

Although they have joined forces, the various factions—Nightmare Court, Tang Kingdom, Star Kingdom, Yang Kingdom, Heavenly Demon Sect, Demon Clan, etc.—remain clearly divided.

A dozen minutes later...

Suddenly, light began to flash within the barrier in front of everyone.

"Time is up!"

A group of powerful individuals became somewhat excited.

On the Tang side, the middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat said in a deep voice, "Everyone, attack at the same time! Use the power of the formation we set up earlier to tear a hole in that barrier!"

"Wait!" From the Nightmare Court side, the curly-haired man in black robes coldly shouted, "After tearing open an opening, who should we send over first?"

The short-haired woman from the Heavenly Demon Sect laughed: "I respect your opinion. You can give it to whomever you want."

The curly-haired man in black robes: "..."

He had long suspected that the Tang Kingdom was colluding with the Heavenly Demon Sect and had been prepared for this.

But one sentence from that woman from the Heavenly Demon Sect left him speechless.

Who should I give it to?

Should we send our own people over first?

What if it's extremely dangerous inside? Wouldn't the first people to go in be used as test subjects?

But what if we send the people from the Tang Kingdom first, and they manage to get the Five-Colored Divine Stone first?

"well……"

The short-haired woman from the Heavenly Demon Sect shook her head: "I told you Nightmare Court people you're spineless, but you won't admit it... I gave you a chance, but you're useless!"

"You..." The group of powerful figures from the Nightmare Court had grim expressions.

Then, the curly-haired man in black robes said, "First, go and capture a demonized monster. After tearing open the barrier, throw the monster in and see what's going on!"

Before anyone else could speak, the curly-haired man in the black robe made a hand gesture.

A powerful Nightmare Court warrior immediately teleported out and grabbed a demonized triangular rabbit.

"Let's get started!"

The short-haired woman from the Heavenly Demon Sect merely glanced at the demonized triangular rabbit and waved her hand dismissively.

The powerful figures from all sides immediately dispersed and took their positions in the prepared formation.

"open!"

With a loud shout from the Tang Dynasty man wearing a straw hat...

The formation was activated, and two giant hands formed from the vast and surging star power directly gripped the weakest point of the barrier!

Meanwhile, within the barrier, an unknown force was also impacting it!

With the combined efforts of inside and outside, the two large hands tore a hole the size of a football directly into the barrier!

"call!"

The curly-haired man in the black robe tossed the triangular rabbit he was holding into the container.

There was no response...

After the triangular rabbit was thrown in, it rolled twice on the ground and ran away.

"Let our people go first!"

The curly-haired man in the black robe shouted.

The other parties remained silent.

If the people from the Nightmare Court can enter successfully, they can immediately follow suit.

A few seconds earlier doesn't really make a difference.

Seeing that no one objected, the curly-haired man in the black robe immediately waved his hand.

Behind them, a man in black robes with a goatee blurred into a streak of light and disappeared into the crack in the barrier.

"boom!"

They get in quickly, and they get out even faster!

The goat-bearded creature that had transformed into a streak of light let out a miserable cry and was blasted away like a ball!

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The goatee's black robe was torn, and he rolled around on the ground repeatedly!

If it weren't for the fact that everyone else was also at the peak of the seventh rank and had extremely fast reactions, they might have run into him!

"What's going on!"

The curly-haired man in the black robe stretched out his hand and used his spiritual power to grab the goatee.

All that could be seen on the goatee's body were shocking wounds!

At first glance, it looks as if it has been cleaved into hundreds of pieces...

He simply transformed into a beam of light and flew in, but suddenly it felt like he had been torn to pieces.

The curly-haired man in black robes grabbed the goatee and shook it violently a few times, saying, "Tell me, what exactly happened!"

The goatee, barely breathing, said, "I...I don't know."

"As soon as I went in, I was enveloped by an irresistible force and then bounced back out."

"That barrier... there should be... some kind of restriction inside."

"Seventh Rank, Fifth Level... It's simply... impossible to enter!"

"There's...there's more..."

"I...I was blasted out...the instant, I think...I saw...someone...running wildly inside."

"That person was surrounded by...lightning..."

After saying this, the goatee tilted his head to the side and fainted.

"..."

Those from all sides present were deeply shaken.

Can't people at the seventh rank enter?

Is someone inside?!

The curly-haired man in black robes coldly looked at the short-haired woman from the Heavenly Demon Sect: "Are the people inside your people?"

The short-haired woman paused for a moment, then scoffed and said, "What the hell are you? You know the power of this barrier... It took so many of us working together to tear open even a tiny gap."

"You think our Heavenly Demon Sect can open it on its own?"

"If we could open it, what use would we have for a piece of trash like you?"

The curly-haired man in black robes gritted his teeth, then looked away and said in a deep voice, "Try a few more times... A level 13 triangular rabbit can go in, but a peak seventh-rank rabbit cannot."

"Let's find that balance point first, and see what level of cultivation is needed to get past it!"
