Chapter 451: Defeating the Half-Step Beast God

Wanggu Pass, towering at the northernmost end of Shannan Province, was previously called Qingmu Valley, and was renamed seventy years ago due to an epic battle.

In that battle, in order to repel the strange beast group, half of the ability users of Great Xia were buried here, so Qingmu Valley was renamed the current Wanggu Pass.

As the local snake guarding this place, the National Martial Arts University would have a Grandmaster stationed at Wanggu Pass.

According to school rules, it rotates every three months.

The one guarding this place now is Dai Jiangshan, Dean of the Weapon Academy.

Because he absorbed the Indestructible Tribulation Blood given by Chen Fan, he had already advanced to the Quasi-Saint realm.

Hearing that Chen Fan had arrived, he personally led the team to welcome him, his expression extremely respectful: "Young Marshal, Principal Huangfu!"

Even though he was Chen Fan's teacher in the past, Chen Fan's strength and status had long since far surpassed him, so Dai Jiangshan naturally lowered all his postures.

"Dean Dai, no need for formalities." Chen Fan got straight to the point and asked the core question, "Do you have any whereabouts of the Thunder-Origin Heaven-Shaking Beast?"

"No definite news yet." Dai Jiangshan hesitated slightly and said in a deep voice, "Subordinate suspects that the strange beast is hiding in the Endless Thunder Abyss."

"Endless Thunder Abyss? Where is that?" Chen Fan's eyes moved slightly and he asked.

"This place is extremely far, a full thousand kilometers away from the entrance of the other-dimensional space! It is a bottomless canyon, filled with thunder, and its fierce power is monstrous, hence the name Endless Thunder Abyss."

As soon as Dai Jiangshan finished speaking, Huangfu Cheng nodded in agreement: "It is very likely, the Thunder-Origin Heaven-Shaking Beast feeds on thunder and needs to swallow a massive amount of thunder power every day, so it must live in a place where thunder is most dense."

"Reasonable, let's use this place as the first investigation site." Chen Fan nodded and looked at Dai Jiangshan again, "Dean Dai, are there any other suspicious places?"

"Thunder Rock Mountain is also possible. There is a huge amount of liquid thunder hidden underground in Thunder Rock Mountain, and there are thunder liquid eruptions all year round. The Thunder-Origin Heaven-Shaking Beast may be hiding underground in Thunder Rock Mountain."

Dai Jiangshan mentioned four or five other places where the beast might be hiding. Chen Fan kept them in mind one by one, then said goodbye to everyone with Huangfu Cheng and hurried off.

Along the way, they passed several places with dense thunder, and Chen Fan carefully investigated them all, but always gained nothing.

Half a day later, the two arrived at the edge of the Endless Thunder Abyss. This canyon spanned over a hundred kilometers, was more than ten kilometers wide, and thunder surged and galloped in the valley, like a boundless ocean of thunder, the blinding thunder light making people unable to open their eyes.

"Chen Fan, let me probe the reality first!" Huangfu Cheng volunteered, his majestic mental power condensed into a giant hand covering the sky, probing toward the valley.

But the mental hand only penetrated a thousand meters deep before it was difficult to move, and finally had to return without success.

"The deeper you go, the denser and more domineering the thunder is, my mental power cannot probe in at all." Huangfu Cheng looked annoyed, his tone helpless.

"No matter, Teacher Huangfu, let me do it." After Chen Fan finished speaking, the Taiyin Dizhen Eye at the center of his brow slowly opened.

The scorching divine light, like the Great Sun burning the sky, made Huangfu Cheng unable to open his eyes.

Chen Fan's gaze penetrated layers of thunder obstacles, probing downward without hesitation, reaching the bottom of the canyon 100,000 meters deep.

A huge strange beast was entrenched there, its body covered with dark gold thunder scales, electricity constantly wandering between the gaps of the scales, a single horn on its lion head, a brilliant thunder core condensing at the tip of the horn, a dragon body and tiger claws, its tail like a sky-supporting thunder whip sweeping all directions, it was the Thunder-Origin Heaven-Shaking Beast!

Its body was as towering as a mountain, surrounded by nine-colored divine thunder, and every breath it took caused the thunder power between heaven and earth to surge and stir, the ten thousand tons of thunder power covering the sky and earth.

The Thunder-Origin Heaven-Shaking Beast's perception was extremely keen, and it immediately noticed Chen Fan's gaze. It suddenly raised its head, its single horn erupted with blinding thunder light, a roar that shook the nine heavens tore through the valley, and with its giant mouth open, a thunder pillar as thick as a mountain rushed straight into the sky!

Wherever the thunder pillar passed, space was burned out of pitch-black cracks, and the power to destroy heaven and earth carried endless thunder fire, forcing Chen Fan and the other two.

"Chen Fan, be careful!" Huangfu Cheng was so scared that his soul flew away, trying his best to use mental imprisonment to try to delay the thunder pillar, but as soon as his mental power touched the thunder pillar, it instantly melted like ice and snow meeting a raging fire, and a violent thunder force rebounded, throwing him away heavily, spitting blood and falling into the distance.

"So strong!" Huangfu Cheng felt despair, this was a strike from 100,000 meters away, and he couldn't even withstand the aftermath!

But the next second, he saw Chen Fan's figure sway, and he actually stepped directly on the top of that nine-colored thunder pillar.

The incomparably terrifying thunder pillar was actually blocked by him in an understated manner.

The Thunder-Origin Heaven-Shaking Beast at the bottom of the canyon was furious at this provocation, suddenly urging all its thunder power, and the power of the thunder pillar increased by another three points, but Chen Fan stood at the top of the thunder pillar, his clothes fluttering, but he remained motionless.

Huangfu Cheng felt his scalp tingle, Chen Fan's strength had long since exceeded his imagination.

"Roar——!"

A wild roar exploded from the bottom of the valley, the Thunder-Origin Heaven-Shaking Beast went completely crazy, its huge body shook violently, and it actually jumped up from the 100,000-meter-deep valley bottom, its body covering the sky and sun locked onto Chen Fan, its giant mouth opened again, and a thunder pillar several times thicker than before pierced through the void and shot over.

This was the Thunder-Origin Heaven-Shaking Beast's racial talent divine ability, Thunder Breaks the Eternal!

Chen Fan stared coldly, his fingers playing rapidly in the void, and where his fingertips passed, space rippled, spreading out like broken waves on a lake, and the thunder in the sky was actually shredded and annihilated by these ripples!

This was the famous divine ability of the Dragon Venerable in the past, Finger Playing Pipa Shatters Ten Thousand Voids!

And now that it was performed by Chen Fan, its power was more than several times stronger! After all, his space ability had already advanced to God-level!

A trace of dread flashed in the eyes of the Thunder-Origin Heaven-Shaking Beast, its racial divine ability that it was proud of was actually easily disintegrated by this human in front of it.

But how could the ferocity of this beast be restrained just like that? The dark gold thunder scales on its body suddenly erupted with ten thousand feet of thunder light, and it let out a deafening roar toward the sky.

In an instant, the thunder of the entire Endless Thunder Abyss rioted completely, and billions of thunderbolts gathered into a wave, like ten thousand horses galloping through the void, carrying the power to destroy heaven and earth, rushing toward Chen Fan and Huangfu Cheng.

Huangfu Cheng only felt a suffocating pressure rushing toward his face, he knew that in that violent thunder wave, just a trace of aftermath would be enough to make him vanish into ashes.

And at this critical moment, Chen Fan slowly clenched his right hand's five fingers, and said softly: "Space Divine Ability—Mastering the Universe!"

Boom!

A shocking loud noise exploded, and heaven and earth suddenly fell into dead silence. Only to see a large area of space around the Endless Thunder Abyss collapse, compress rapidly, and finally condense into a space sphere the size of a fist.

And the rioting billions of thunderbolts were all imprisoned within it, turning into a thunder ball containing terrifying energy, surging and galloping within the space sphere.

This scene not only shocked Huangfu Cheng, but even the Thunder-Origin Heaven-Shaking Beast was stunned on the spot, its eyes full of disbelief.

That was the thunder power of the entire Endless Thunder Abyss that it had triggered, and it was actually condensed into a thunder ball the size of an egg by this human in front of it with a wave of his hand!

What kind of terrifying method is this!

Before the Thunder-Origin Heaven-Shaking Beast could recover, Chen Fan hooked his fingers, and the space thunder ball flew into his palm, then with a flick of his fingertip, the thunder ball transformed into a stream of light and shot out.

The Thunder-Origin Heaven-Shaking Beast's soul was terrified, it knew the terrifying energy contained in that thunder ball better than anyone, and it tried its best to twist its huge body, wanting to dodge.

But that thunder ball ignored spatial distance and appeared in front of its brow in an instant.

Bang——!

The thunder ball crashed into the Thunder-Origin Heaven-Shaking Beast, like an ancient nuclear bomb exploding, the power to destroy heaven and earth instantly swept its entire body, swallowing it completely.

The violent thunder aftermath raged for a full minute before gradually dissipating, the once towering Endless Thunder Abyss had already collapsed by half, and that Half-Step Beast God level Thunder-Origin Heaven-Shaking Beast was now lying in the ruins, its scales shattered, its flesh and blood blurred, its aura dying, already in a near-death state.

"Worthy of being a Half-Step Beast God, an explosion of this power actually failed to completely kill you." Chen Fan's voice was plain, his figure swayed, and he appeared in front of the Thunder-Origin Heaven-Shaking Beast.

"Submit to me, or die."

The cold voice reached the ears of the Thunder-Origin Heaven-Shaking Beast.

At this moment, Chen Fan did not intend to kill it, but wanted to subdue this powerful strange beast under his command.

As for the thunder origin needed to advance to Martial Saint, he already had a place to find it. Just now, when he probed the bottom of the valley with the Taiyin Dizhen Eye, he vaguely saw a giant axe broken into two pieces, and nine-colored divine thunder of the same origin as the Thunder-Origin Heaven-Shaking Beast lingered on the axe body.

The thunder origin contained in the broken axe was enough to support his breakthrough to Martial Saint.

The Thunder-Origin Heaven-Shaking Beast in front of him let out a painful muffled groan, its huge body curled up on the ground, and finally slowly lowered its arrogant head, kneeling down toward Chen Fan, its eyes full of awe and submission.

"Consider yourself sensible." Chen Fan smiled indifferently.

In the distance, Huangfu Cheng looked at this scene from afar, his eyes wide open, full of shock, a Half-Step Beast God level fierce beast actually submitted like this, bowing and kneeling to Chen Fan!

"Chen Fan, he is really too strong!"

Huangfu Cheng's heart was surging with stormy waves, only this heartfelt exclamation could describe his state of mind at this moment. ===== CHAPTER 452 =====
