Chapter 210

The little hero Dou Tianxiong heard this, and his lively Dark Eyes instantly turned sharp; he stepped forward, battle intent erupting from his entire body, and met their gaze without the slightest fear, scoffing with a laugh:

"I wondered who it was — so it's you flock of mongrel birds!"

"What, your backsides itching?"

"Now you come running over to bark?"

"Those who aren't afraid of death… come right at me!"

"Do you really think that riding on your ancestors' coattails lets you run wild across the Savage Heaven?"

"Heh, others may fear you Golden-Winged Great Peng, but I, the Holy War Heavenly Ape, am not afraid!"

The little hero's words were sharp and yielded not an inch, fully displaying the bearing of an Imperial Son.

However, before the tense atmosphere of this standoff had settled, another voice full of cold malice and brutality suddenly cut in like an icy venomous serpent:

"Heh, since when could a few monkeys who only know how to brute-force things be this arrogant? Truly… ignorant of life and death…"

Accompanying that voice, a colossal pitch-black Dark Shadow, like an ancient mountain range, carrying a terrifying aura that devoured light and heat, obscured a vast swath of the starry sky and slowly descended!

The newcomer was none other than a terrifying Heavenly Pride of the Sun-Devouring Soaring Snake Clan!

However, it was not Teng Jiuhuang, who had feuded with Dou Tianshu in the Fallen Star Ancient Cave, but another Sun-Devouring Sky Serpent whose aura was even deeper and whose vicious renown even greater!

As this Sky Serpent appeared, a chorus of discussion and sharp intakes of breath immediately rose from all around.

"It's Teng Qihuang!"

"The Seventh Emperor among the Ten Emperors of the Sun-Devouring Soaring Snake Clan! Teng Jiuhuang's older brother!"

"Heavens! The ten brothers of the Sun-Devouring Sky Serpent are all astonishingly brilliant vicious lords, and they are extremely united — provoking one means provoking the whole brood! They are an absolutely terrifying force!"

"Why are they also targeting the Holy War Heavenly Ape?"

Just then, a ghostly, sinister voice from some unknown corner suddenly rang out, clearly spreading across this stretch of starry sky:

"Heh… what else could it be for?"

"Word has it that in the Fallen Star Ancient Cave, Dou Tianshu of the Sacred War Heaven Ape Clan snatched away a… mysterious key that can open the core region of Suppressing Dragon Valley, right under the noses of the Sun-Devouring Sky Serpent, the Golden-Winged Great Peng, and the Ancient Overlord Tiger!"

These words landed like a ladle of cold water thrown into a boiling pot of oil!

"What?!"

"The key to Suppressing Dragon Valley?!"

"In their hands?!"

In an instant, an uproar erupted!

Countless gazes that had originally been watching for entertainment instantly turned fervent, greedy, and even filled with killing intent!

Suppressing Dragon Valley!

That was one of the most heaven-defying and precious opportunities among the countless fortunes of the Myriad Beasts Assembly!

Legend had it that it contained treasures and supreme legacies left behind by the ancient true Dragon!

No living being could help but be tempted!

An innocent man bears no guilt, but harboring a treasure is his crime!

Even though the Sacred War Heaven Ape Clan was a top-tier powerful clan, before a heaven-defying opportunity like the key to Suppressing Dragon Valley — enough to drive any faction mad — it was still sufficient to rouse countless greedy gazes and restless murderous hearts!

In the extreme distance, some powerful clans that had originally been unconcerned also cast their gazes over, among them more than a few flickering with cold and calculating light.

The expressions of the little hero and Dou Tianshu instantly turned extremely ugly, and more than that, filled with earth-shaking, ferocious killing intent!

This person who spoke from the shadows — his heart deserved execution!

This was to push their Sacred War Heaven Ape Clan completely to the forefront, making them the target of all!

The little hero's gaze was haughty, his face cold as ten-thousand-year ice; he stepped forward, his tyrannical aura sweeping in all directions, laughing in extreme anger:

"Rats who hide your heads and show your tails! Only daring to sow discord from the shadows!"

"And you lot! A flock of mongrel birds! A stinking bug! You think you're worthy of clamoring before me?"

"Want to snatch the key? Then come and try!"

Before the words had faded, the little hero, without the slightest hesitation, directly thrust out a massive palm radiating brilliant silver light and wreathed in world-destroying battle intent, carrying the terrifying power to shatter stars, and brazenly struck through the void toward the direction where the Golden-Winged Great Peng and the Sun-Devouring Sky Serpent teams were located!

He had actually chosen to strike directly!

So forceful, so domineering!

However, neither Hun Yu of the Golden-Winged Great Peng nor Teng Qihuang of the Sun-Devouring Sky Serpent seemed to have any intention of fully engaging the little hero in battle at this moment.

Facing the sky-obscuring silver giant palm, Hun Yu merely gave a cold snort; golden divine radiance flashed across his body, transforming into an invisible sharp barrier that quietly dissolved the palm's force.

Meanwhile, Teng Qihuang's massive serpent body twisted bizarrely, merging into the Void and evading the strike.

"Hmph! Sharp words are useless, Dou Tianxiong — we'll see the real truth inside the Ancient Profound Great World!"

"I hope that when the Time comes, your bones will still be as hard as they are now!"

Hun Yu and Teng Qihuang each left behind an icy threat, then lingered no longer; leading their respective teams, amid a burst of arrogant cold laughter, they swiftly departed and soon vanished into the densely packed crowd of living beings.

The little hero withdrew his palm, his expression still cold; he exchanged a glance with Dou Tianshu, and both saw the gravity and killing intent in each other's eyes.

With this disruption by them and the hidden person exposing the matter of the key, their subsequent journey to explore Suppressing Dragon Valley would inevitably become far more passive, adding countless troubles and covetous eyes.

Though they feared no challenge, the feeling of being schemed against was extremely unpleasant.

Although this minor episode had passed, its impact rippled outward like spreading waves.

The gazes of many living beings upon the Sacred War Heaven Ape Clan now carried a different meaning.

Time continued to pass; the living beings within the ring-shaped star spiral grew ever more numerous, and their auras grew increasingly mixed and terrifying.

Sky-filling Blood Qi, massive Dark Shadows, bizarre lights… interwoven into a bizarre and motley scroll of ten thousand clans.

And the Ancient Profound Great World, which had stood silently at the center of the star spiral all along, finally showed a distinct change at this moment!

The Chaos Qi currents around it began to accelerate, the hazy immortal light grew increasingly brilliant, and the entire world trembled slightly.

An ancient, vast aura, as if slumbering through endless ages, began to slowly awaken and spread forth!

Within the Starry Swirl, all the clamor and fighting at this moment fell silent together.

Countless gazes, filled with longing, excitement, battle intent and ambition, brushed together and focused on the glowing Mysterious Ancient Great World!

The formal commencement of the Grand Beast Gathering is already… within arm's length!
