Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

"Let's go back to Zhenmo Pass first."

"The Beast God Cult".

After Shen Ye finished speaking, the coordinates of the beast pattern on the Crown Bearer's Token slowly disappeared.

Dean Tianfu looked at him with an even more solemn expression than before.

"The Beast King Ruins are not like ordinary ruins."

"That place involves the demon race, the Beast God Cult, and the ancient Beast Taming Civilization."

"If you want to go, you must first obtain complete intelligence."

Shen Ye nodded.

"So let's check first."

The dean breathed a sigh of relief.

What he fears most now is that Shen Ye will hear the location and immediately say, "Let's leave tonight."

Zhou Xuan also visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Wuji whispered from the side:

"He didn't mention tonight this time."

Zhou Xuan glanced at him.

"Are you disappointed?"

Qin Wuji thought for a moment.

"a little."

Zhou Xuan didn't want to talk to him.

Upon returning to Zhenmo Pass, the relevant files of the Beast God Cult were quickly retrieved.

The Beast God Cult.

Cult organizations that existed in the early years within the territory of Dongxia.

They do not believe in beast taming contracts, but instead advocate that "beasts are superior to humans" and insist that beast tamers should sacrifice their bodies, souls, and bloodlines to become vessels for beasts.

In their early days, they were just a group of extreme beast tamers.

Later, it colluded with various races and gradually became a cult.

During his initial growth phase, Shen Ye also encountered members of the outer circle of the Beast God Cult.

However, as the Blood-Clad Tower, the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, the Blood Gate, and the Heavenly Abyss pressed in, the Beast God Sect fell silent for a time.

Zhou Xuan projected the files onto the center of the battle room.

"The last large-scale activity of the Beast God Cult was five years ago."

"The location is on the outskirts of the battlefield of all races."

"They attempted to break the outer seal of the Beast King's Ruins, but were repelled by the Demon Suppression Army."

Lu Qingshan looked at the documents and said in a deep voice:

"I remember that operation."

"Many people died in the Beast God Cult."

"But their leader did not show up."

Shen Ye asked:

"Who is the cult leader?"

Zhou Xuan pulled up a blurry portrait.

The portrait depicts a man draped in a priestly robe made of animal skins.

His face was covered by a bone mask.

"The Beast God Cult Leader, codenamed Beast Emperor."

"Real name unknown."

"Possibly between the peak of the sixth rank and the seventh rank."

Qin Wuji frowned.

"Another seventh tier?"

Zhou Xuandao:

"It's just a suspicion."

"What's more troublesome is that he's not a traditional beast tamer."

"He merged multiple beast souls into his body, making his fighting style closer to that of a half-beast hybrid."

Xue Li looked at the portrait and suddenly said:

"I've seen this mask before."

Everyone looked at her.

Xue Li said:

"The Vampire Royal Court once made a deal with the Beast God Cult."

"They provided ancient beast souls to the vampires."

"The vampires gave them the Blood Soul Stabilization Technique."

Zhou Xuan's face darkened.

"Did the vampires get involved too?"

Xue Li nodded.

"However, the Beast God Cult and the Vampire Clan later fell out."

The reason is unclear.

Shen Ye looked at the portrait of the Beast King.

What's inside the Beast King's Ruins?

The Dean of Tianfu Hospital remotely joined the meeting and replied:

"A branch of the ancient beast-taming civilization."

"To be precise, it's a training ground for beast kings."

"That place was once used to select beast army commanders and cultivate beast kings and tamers."

"If it can be found, it will be very important to the Eastern Xia Beast Taming System."

Lu Chenzhou said:

"What the Beast God Cult wants is probably not the inheritance."

"It's a beast soul."

Dean Tianfu nodded.

"The Beast King Ruins contain a large number of ancient beast souls."

"Normal beast tamers will obtain inheritance through contract resonance."

"The Beast God Cult might directly devour souls."

Blood Glass adds:

"If the Beast God Cult and the Echoes of the Porch have also been in contact, then the problem is even bigger."

"I love these kinds of ancient relics."

Gui Xu, who was lying on the table, looked up when he heard the sound of the doorway.

"There's a chance."

Jie Chen also opened his eyes.

Zhou Xuan immediately looked at them.

"Is there an echo reverberating from the Beast King's Ruins?"

Guixu nodded.

"Far."

"The Old Beast Gate".

Shen Ye looked at the battle map.

"When are you going?"

Zhou Xuan was about to say that at least ten days of preparation were needed.

Dean Tianfu spoke first:

"Three days later."

Everyone was somewhat surprised.

The dean said in a deep voice:

"The Crown Bearer's Decree has awakened the coordinates."

"There might be a reaction from the Beast King Ruins as well."

"If this drags on too long, the Church of the Beast God will notice."

Zhou Xuan said helplessly:

"I was just about to say I'd prepare for ten days."

Qin Wuji smiled.

"The dean has changed."

The dean remained expressionless.

"I've been spending too much time with you guys."

The final plan was finalized.

Three days later, the team headed to the outskirts of the Beast King Ruins.

mission target:

First, confirm the status of the branch of the ancient beast-taming civilization.

Second, eliminate any lingering noises from the porch.

Third, prevent the Beast God Cult from seizing the Ancient Beast Soul.

Fourth, if the opportunity arises, take down the high-ranking members of the Beast God Cult.

This time, Qin Wuji took the initiative to request to join.

The reason is simple.

"The Beast King Ruins sound like it has powerful beasts; it's a good opportunity for Emperor Lei Zupeng to practice on."

Li Xuance also joined.

He wanted to use the legacy of the ancient beast-taming civilization to solidify the position of the Azure Lotus Sword Deer.

Chu Jinglan and Meng Qianqiu stayed behind to guard Zhenmo Pass.

Lu Chenzhou wanted to continue recovering his health, so he didn't go.

Blood Glass followed.

She identified traces of Blood Soul Stabilization Techniques and transactions with the Beast God Cult and the Vampire Clan.

Zhou Xuan continued to be in charge of the formation and coordinates.

Three days later.

Southeast of the battlefield of myriad races.

The outer perimeter of the Beast King Ruins.

This place is different from the Thunder Demon Ancestral Land, the Bone Forbidden Zone, and the Blood King City.

There were no blood clouds or thunderstorms.

There was no bone mist or death aura either.

This is a desolate yet vast plain of ancient beasts.

The earth was littered with the bones of giant beasts.

Some ribs lie across the ground like mountains.

Some skulls are so large that they could build a city.

In the distance, a half-collapsed beast gate stands at the end of the plain.

Behind the door lay an even deeper expanse of ruins.

Guixu looked up and glanced at it.

"The Old Beast Gate".

Jie Chen stared at the edge of the beast gate.

There was a faint echo of black porch music.

Not strong.

But it does exist.

Zhou Xuan set up a coordinate array.

"Spatial stability."

"There are no signs of a powerful enemy at the moment."

Qin Wuji looked at the giant beast skeleton in the distance.

"It's quiet here."

Shen Ye said:

"Too quiet."

Li Xuance nodded.

"There is no sound of beast souls."

According to the information provided by Dean Tianfu, there should be a large number of wandering ancient beast souls on the outskirts of the Beast King Ruins.

They will not leave the ruins on their own, but they will emit low growls of beast souls at intruders.

Now, there is no sound.

Only the hollow sound of the wind blowing through the bones could be heard.

Xue Li's expression darkened slightly.

"The beast soul has been suppressed."

Shen Ye looked towards the beast gate.

"Go in."

They had just stepped through the half-collapsed beast gate when an ancient beast roar suddenly came from the depths of the ruins.

It's not a welcome.

It is pain.

The next moment, the ground in front of them cracked open.

Dozens of translucent ancient beast souls burst out from the crack.

They were wrapped in blood-red rune chains.

The other end of the chain was connected to a black and red altar in the center of the ruins.

Xue Li's pupils contracted.

"Blood Soul Stabilization Technique".

"The Beast God Cult has already entered."

A hoarse voice rang out from the direction of the altar.

"King of the Eastern Summer Nights"

"You're too late."

A man wearing a bone mask stands on the altar.

He was dressed in a sacrificial robe made of animal skin.

Behind him, twelve ancient beast souls were pierced by blood chains and forcibly dragged into his body.

Beast God Cult Leader.

Beast King.

He looked up at Shen Ye, his eyes beneath the mask gleaming with a beastly golden light.

"The ancient beast-taming civilization should have long ago returned to its beasts."

"Instead of returning home."

Shen Ye gripped his sword.

The crown bearer's command light up in his palm.

The ancient animal patterns in the surrounding ruins began to respond.

The beast souls behind the Beast King also began to struggle.

Shen Ye looked up.

"They don't recognize you."

The Beast King chuckled softly.

Whether or not it is acknowledged is not important.

"Swallowed it."

"It's mine."
