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

Inside the throne space, the black and gold sword gleamed.

The hunter stood at the end of the path.

It has no facial features.

There was only a face pieced together from the cracks in the door.

When the bowstring was fully drawn, the entire Throne of Beasts trembled slightly.

Shen Ye could sense that the arrow wasn't aimed at his physical body.

It is looking for the contract line.

Looking for Ye Yu.

Find Zhu Jiu.

Looking for Longyuan.

Search for Jie Chen.

Searching for Guixu.

If any one of these chains is severed, the shared structure of the Throne of Beasts will crack.

The third lock will reopen the door.

A system notification sounded.

[The first arrow from the hunter has been detected: Severed Pact.]

[Hit Effect: Severs the primordial bond between the host and a tamed beast.]

[Note: This arrow is unaffected by normal defense.]

The hunter's voice was calm.

"A beast should never sit on the throne."

"Return to the gate."

The arrow is fired.

There was no breakthrough.

In the throne space, five lines of light lit up simultaneously.

The black arrow did not strike the strongest Night Feather.

It did not shoot towards Longyuan, which was under its control.

It shot directly at Guixu.

Gate beast.

Cubs at the Gate of Heaven.

In the eyes of the doorway, Guixu is the one that "should go back".

Guixu looked up.

The small arrow-shaped door was reflected in his dark silver eyes.

It opened its mouth.

"I will not return."

Shen Ye stepped in front of it to block its path.

The black arrow pierced through his chest, like passing through a shadow, and continued its trajectory toward the Guixu line.

The hunter said calmly:

"No one can stop a contract."

Shen Ye said in a low voice:

"Who said I was going to block it?"

He raised his hand and placed it on Guixu's head.

The Beast King's Contract lit up.

The next moment, the bond on Guixu's body was no longer just one.

Night Feather's Black Sun Netherfire came over.

The Nine Netherworld Shadow Lines of Zhu Jiu connect here.

The battle blood patterns from Longyuan connected over.

The Heavenly Punishment Lightning Patterns of the Calamity Dust connected over.

The power of the five beasts wove a black-gold web in front of Guixu.

It wasn't Shen Ye who was leading it.

Instead, the five beasts supported each other.

The black arrow pierced the net.

The speed came to an abrupt stop.

The hunter fell silent for the first time.

Shen Ye gripped his sword, his eyes cold.

"Look carefully."

"They are not my locks."

"It's my seat."

Guixu bit the arrow tip.

click!

The black arrow trembled.

Countless tiny cracks appeared on the arrow shaft, from which came a dense murmur of whispers.

"Return to the gate."

"Return to the gate."

"Return to the gate."

Gui Xu was shaken and slid back half a step, black and silver blood seeping from between his teeth.

But it did not loosen its grip.

"It tastes awful."

"But it can bite."

Jie Chen opened the Heavenly Punishment Eye on his forehead.

A gray-white lightning bolt pinned the arrow's tail.

The Nine-Nine Candles of the Netherworld suppressed the arrow's shadow.

Night Feather Black Sun Netherfire burned through the crack in the door.

Long Yuan braced himself with his arms on either side of the cracks in the throne, managing to stabilize the foundation that was about to collapse.

Shen Ye took a step forward.

He did not cut the arrow.

Instead, look along the arrow shaft and at the thin line behind the fletching.

Bowstring.

What the hunters truly conceal is not the arrows.

It is a string.

As long as the string remains, it can continue to shoot through the throne using the porch coordinates.

Shen Ye raised his sword.

"I've found you."

The hunter looked up.

A crack appeared on the facade.

"You can't kill him."

Shen Ye said:

"Give it a try."

The name of the Ten Thousand Beasts has fallen.

The black and gold sword light cannot cut through physical objects.

Cut only the character "猎" (hunt) that was drawn out by the arrow's trajectory.

Click.

At the end of the path, a string snaps.

The hunter's longbow suddenly veered off course.

The entire black hunting trail was cleaved in two by Shen Ye's sword.

Beneath the Demon-Suppressing Pass.

A sharp glint flashed in Zhou Xuan's eyes.

"The string broke!"

Qin Wuji grinned.

"Then pull it back!"

Emperor Lei Zupeng flapped his wings, and ten thousand bolts of lightning transformed into chains, binding the broken string in half.

Li Xuance thrust out his sword, and the Azure Lotus Sword Intent pierced into the void along the lightning lock.

Chu Jinglan's vast ocean surged, binding the broken string.

Meng Qianqiu slashed horizontally with his ancient sword, cutting off the escape route of the broken string.

Lu Chenzhou's Old Night King Blade fell, severing the last echoing shadow gate.

All five exerted their strength simultaneously.

The bowstring of the door was broken, and it was forcibly dragged out from deep within the doorway.

Inside the throne room.

Guixu swallowed half of the Black String in one gulp.

Its entire body stiffened for a moment.

Then he lowered his head.

"It tastes awful."

Shen Ye asked:

"Will it work?"

Guixu nodded.

"There is a road."

The system prompts an error.

[Sever the hunter's first bowstring.]

[Obtained: Door Bowstring Fragment.]

[Advanced Perception in the Guixu Hunter's Gate.]

[Repair progress of Throne of Beasts: 21%...29%...36%]

The third lock's suppression strength has been increased.

The bite marks on the throne had largely healed.

The black and gold light has been restored to cover the armrests.

The gray door mark on Shen Ye's chest was also darkened slightly.

Outside, Han Pojun let out a heavy sigh.

"Did it work?"

Wei Cang, however, did not relax.

He stared at the direction of the demon clan's ancestral court on the battle map.

The hunter's shadow is still there.

Not only did it not disperse.

It's actually clearer now.

Xue Li's expression changed slightly.

"It's changing strings."

On the battle map.

Behind the shadowy figure, two more bowstrings slowly emerged.

A branch connects to the Beast King's Platform.

A thread connects to the old Jiangcheng.

There was also a gray line that looked like it was growing out of Shen Ye's body.

Zhou Xuan's pupils contracted.

"Hunting with three strings."

"That arrow it just shot was a test of the lock."

Inside the throne room.

The hunter raised his broken bow.

The first string, broken, hangs down.

But two black arms stretched out from behind it.

Each hand pulls a new string.

It looked at Shen Ye.

The sound remained quiet.

"The first arrow: Inquire about the contract."

"You answered well."

"The second arrow: Inquire where it came from."

Shen Ye's brows twitched slightly.

Origin.

The next moment, a knock sounded behind the throne.

thump.

thump.

thump.

Shen Ye turned around.

Behind the dilapidated throne, a familiar old door appeared.

White door panel.

Peeling paint on the door frame.

The rental apartment number was pasted on the door, its color now yellowed.

That was the room he lived in before he traveled through time.

A dim, yellow light shone through the crack in the door.

The hunter slowly drew his bow.

This time, the arrowhead is not pointing forward.

And behind Shen Ye.

A system notification popped up in a glaring way.

[Warning: The Hunter's second arrow has locked onto the host's original coordinates.]

[Upon successful locking, the third lock will become a porch anchor point.]

A calm voice came from inside the old door.

He looks just like Shen Ye from the past.

"Open the door."

"You should come back."
