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

"If behind the gate lies the complete path to the First Court of All Beasts."

"open."

"Or should I execute him?"

On the fifth trial platform, the ancient door slowly opened a crack.

Golden light streamed out from the crack in the door.

That wasn't ordinary light.

It is the complete path of all beasts returning to their home.

With just one glance, the Guixu's forehead seal trembled violently.

The names of Ye Yu, Zhu Jiu, Long Yuan, and Jie Chen were also affected by the golden light.

Half of the Ten Thousand Beasts Courtyard is waiting for its return.

The shared fire vein is also waiting for it to continue.

But deep inside the crack in the door, Shen Ye saw a patch of darkness.

Very fine.

Like a thorn hidden on the edge of golden light.

The system prompts an error.

[Fifth Trial: The Beast King Asks at the Gate.]

[Open the gate: It can guide all beasts back to the courtyard.]

[Risk: Residual noises from the porch may travel into the courtyard.]

[Sever the gate: This can stop the erosion of the porch.]

[Risk: The entire Guiting Road may break simultaneously.]

[Hint: This door was altered by the fourth seat.]

The fourth voice came from behind the door, tinged with suppressed laughter:

"The Night King"

There is no third option this time.

"Open the door, and you can take the entire Chu Ting."

"Sever the gate, you have personally cut off your path home."

Guixu stared at the door.

"There's a path inside."

Shen Ye nodded.

"There's also something dirty."

The phantom of the armored ancient beast lowered its head.

"The one who holds fire."

"answer."

Shen Ye did not answer immediately.

He walked to the door and raised his hand to press down on Night King Mingdian.

"Let me ask you something first."

The ancient beast's phantom remained silent.

Shen Ye looked into the depths of the crack in the door.

Who's behind the door?

The entire testing platform fell silent.

The laughter from the fourth seat stopped.

Shen Ye's voice was very flat:

"The road can be turned back."

"The door can be opened."

"But what if someone is hiding behind the door?"

"Why should I drive it?"

The Night King's Classics turned abruptly.

[External sources not controlled] is highlighted.

The message "[Porch remnants must not be displayed to the plaintiff in the initial court hearing]" is displayed.

【Return Journey is Not for Goods】lights up.

Then, the new certificate slowly solidified.

[Open the door and ask the Lord first.]

[One must prove one's own connections.]

The door to concealment must not be opened by force.

boom!

The ancient gate shook violently.

The golden light filtering through the crack in the door was forced to split to both sides.

The black thorns finally revealed their true form.

That was a warehouse tag.

The fourth seat is the warehouse sign.

It is attached to the edge of the complete courtyard road, like a hook.

As long as Shen Ye opens the door, it will follow the complete Returning Court Path and bring out the true form of the Fourth Seat.

If Shen Ye were to sever the gate, it would tear apart the Guiting Path as well.

The fourth voice turned completely cold:

"Shen Ye."

"You're such a nuisance."

Shen Ye looked up.

"Being praised by you is not a good thing."

He turned to look at Guixu.

"Can it bite off the boundary between the road and the door?"

Guixu stared at the crack in the door.

The mark on his forehead, indicating his return to the gate, shone brightly.

"able."

"But it has to be close."

Shen Ye said:

"I'll walk you to the door."

The armored ancient beast phantom said in a deep voice:

"The one who carries the fire shall not stand in the doorway."

Shen Ye looked at it.

"I won't open the door for it."

"I'm only protecting it from thieves."

Turn the page of the Night King's Classics.

[Guardian Road, Non-Controlled Road] lights up.

The phrase "[The agreement can protect the road, but it cannot be used to protect the road]" is highlighted.

The new certificate has been issued.

[Protect the beast to approach the gate, not to open the gate on its behalf.]

[To slay the thief, not to cut off his path home.]

The ancient beast phantom did not stop them further.

Shen Ye took a step forward.

A black gold short sword materialized.

The fourth seated warehouse sign suddenly sprang up, transforming into countless thin black hands that grabbed at the Gui Xu's forehead Gui Men seal.

"Then I'll steal its return first!"

Night Feathers flapped their wings.

Black flames swept across the doorway.

The thin outer layer of black ink sizzled as it burned.

Zhu Jiu emerged from the shadows, while the Netherworld locked the shadows at the door crack.

Longyuan braced his arms against both sides of the ancient door, forcefully preventing the crack in the door from widening further.

Jiechen closed his eyes and listened to the calamity.

The next instant, it opened its Heavenly Tribulation Eye.

"Three inches to the left."

Shen Ye unleashed a sword strike.

The sword light fell along the edge of the Guiting Road.

Do not cut off the road.

Only cut the root of that warehouse hook.

Click!

The first hook broke.

Guixu lunged at the door, opening its mouth to bite the junction of the golden road and the black token.

It doesn't have Yaojin Road.

It only bites the black marks.

Click!

The black marks cracked open.

The fourth seatman grunted.

"You little rascal!"

Guixu vaguely said:

"You're dirty."

The second bite.

The third bite.

Large patches of black marks peeled off.

The golden path to the courtyard finally revealed its original patterns.

But just then, black smoke surged out from behind the door.

It no longer disguises itself as a warehouse sign.

Instead, it directly polluted the ancient gate.

A system warning popped up.

The echoes from the doorway were clearly audible.

If the gate is not closed, pollution will enter half the courtyard.

If the gate is directly severed, the Guiting Path will be damaged.

Shen Ye's eyes were icy cold.

"Dust of Calamity".

The Heavenly Punishment of Calamity locked onto the source of the black aura in the porch.

"Door hinge".

Shen Ye saw it.

The door itself is not dirty.

The door hinge is dirty.

The fourth seatman secretly replaced the door hinge with the black hinge of the porch.

Therefore, opening the door will bring in black energy.

Severing the gate will cut off the road.

What truly needs to be cut off is the axis.

Shen Ye raised his sword.

"Longyuan".

Long Yuan roared, his arm muscles bursting open with bloody gashes, and he managed to hold up the ancient gate.

"hurry up!"

"Candle Nine".

The shadow of the door hinge in the Netherworld was frozen in place.

"Night Feather".

The black sun and ghostly fire suppressed the dark aura in the porch.

"Return to the Ruins".

Guixu bit into the outer layer of the door hinge.

"It tastes awful."

"bite."

"oh."

Click!

A crack was visible on the door hinge.

Shen Ye's sword blade fell.

The myriad beast divine patterns lit up.

But this time, he did not channel all the power of the five beasts into his sword.

Instead, they assigned each of the five beasts to guard a different location.

Night Feather Guards the Fire.

Candle Nine guards the shadow.

Longyuan guards the gate.

The dust of calamity guards the calamity.

Returning to the ruins to guard the road.

Shen Ye only cut the axis.

Black and gold sword light piercing entry-level axis.

boom!

The black axis of the porch was pierced through by a single sword.

The fourth seat's voice suddenly became sharp:

"You dare destroy my treasure door hinge!"

Shen Ye said coldly:

"The Gate-Slaying Axis".

"The Gate of Non-Slaying".

"Cut off the thieves' path."

"Do not cut off the way back."

The Night King's Classic was abruptly closed.

[The dyed gate can be cleansed.]

[Slaying the axis is not slaying the gate.]

Cut off the thieves' path, but not their way back to the court.

A thief is hiding behind the door; open the door and kill the thief first.

boom!

An ancient roar emanated from the ancient gate.

The black door hinge shattered.

The black aura in the porch was burned away by the black sun and ghostly fire.

The hook marks on the warehouse tag were completely bitten off by the Ruins.

The ancient door, which was half-open and half-closed, was finally opened.

Behind the gate, the once-complete Path of Returning Beasts was no longer shrouded in black mist.

The golden ancient road leads into half of the courtyard.

The shared fire pulse then roared into the fifth section.

The phantom of the armored ancient beast slowly lowered its head.

"The one who holds the fire did not open it blindly."

"Not a blind strike."

"Ask behind the door."

"The Bandit Slayer Scroll".

"Leave a way back."

"The fifth test."

"Pass."

A system notification sounded.

[Passed the fifth test: The Beast King Asks for Guidance.]

[The approval rating of the First Court of Beasts has increased.]

Current approval rating: 90%.

[The analysis level of the Beast Pact Fire Seed has been increased.]

Current resolution: 91%.

[A new Trial Certificate page has been added to the Night King's Compendium: Slash Axis, not Slash Gate.]

[The second stroke of the "door" on the Unknown Beast Name Fragment is now fully secured.]

Half of the Ten Thousand Beasts Courtyard was completely overturned.

Of the thirty-six Beast King Trial Platforms, thirty have been relit.

The path leading to the courtyard stretches towards the core of the courtyard.

The fourth seat's shadowy figure was forced to have nowhere to hide by the golden light.

Most of the warehouse tag behind it was burned.

The remnants of his real name are frantically emerging.

[Fourth Seat - The Courtyard Thief - The Owner of the No-Return Warehouse - Stealing the Sky and Changing the Court...]

The system prompts an error.

[The resolution of the fourth seat's true name remnant has been improved.]

Current resolution: 86%.

Shen Ye raised his sword.

"Still running?"

The fourth seat stared at him, his voice icy:

"You think passing five rounds of testing guarantees you half the prize?"

"One last question."

The voice just fell.

At the heart of the courtyard, the last trial platform slowly rose.

There were no beasts on the stage.

There is no mirror.

No crown.

There was no door.

There was only an empty throne.

For the first time, the voice of the armored ancient beast phantom became solemn.

"Final test."

"The Beast King Asks the Court."

"If half the courtyard returns."

"What should be done with those who steal from the court?"

Beneath the throne, the shadow of the fourth seat was nailed down by golden light.

Shen Ye looked at it.

He slowly raised his sword.

"cut."
