Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 483 Secret Realm Level 1: Forest (Emperor-level Ferocious Beast)

Before long, someone from the Phantom Sect returned with a message.

Then, the elder summoned everyone back.

Once everyone had arrived, they quickly headed forward.

After they left, Qin Wu, who had been hiding in the shadows, revealed himself with his men.

Why are they in such a hurry to get ahead?

The Qin clan chief was somewhat puzzled.

He didn't know why the Phantom Sect suddenly rushed forward so quickly.

"Aren't they trying to follow us? Then I'll give them some guidance."

"Let's go and see what kind of crisis lies ahead."

Qin Wu didn't want to explain further. After speaking, he disappeared from the spot and reappeared several miles away in the next second.

Seeing this, the others quickly followed suit.

Soon, they saw the Phantom Sect members ahead.

However, in order not to expose Qin Wu, he concealed everyone's aura.

Sure enough, things changed in just a few dozen breaths.

A beastly roar rang out.

"Roar..."

The earth began to tremble, and a colossal beast, hundreds of feet tall and hundreds of feet long, resembling a bear with horns on its head, four wings on its back, and covered in scales, appeared before everyone's eyes.

The giant beast exuded a terrifying and savage aura.

It has the same aura as the ferocious beasts in the outside world, only it is more powerful and terrifying.

Even Qin Wu hadn't expected such a gigantic beast to appear.

But that doesn't make sense! Ferocious beasts don't automatically gain sentience and intelligence once they break through to the Emperor level.

However, apart from its cultivation reaching the Emperor level, this giant beast showed no signs of intelligence.

Some of these things shattered his perception.

"Chieftain, do you know what's going on?"

Qin Wu continued to stare at the ferocious beast ahead.

"I don't know. According to our records, once a ferocious beast reaches the Emperor level, it will gain intelligence and become a Chaos Beast."

"The one before us has clearly reached the Emperor level, but it has no intelligence whatsoever. This is something we have never encountered before."

The Qin clan chief was also very puzzled.

He had never encountered such a situation before.

Of course, it's not that only ferocious beasts that reach the Emperor level can become Chaos Beasts; the offspring of Chaos Beasts are also born as Chaos Beasts.

However, since reaching the Emperor level without becoming a Chaos Beast, he had never actually seen one.

"Let's see how strong they are first."

Seeing that the clan leader didn't know either, Qin Wu didn't say anything more.

The Phantom Sect members ahead have already engaged the ferocious beast.

In the instant the battle began, those below the Immortal Emperor realm were instantly reduced to blood mist, utterly and irrevocably dead.

Even those at the Immortal Emperor realm were instantly severely injured.

"Hiss, what a terrifying beast."

The Qin clan chief gasped in shock at the sight.

He truly hadn't expected the suddenly appearing ferocious beast to be so powerful; several early-stage Immortal Emperors and one mid-stage Immortal Emperor were instantly and severely injured.

This ferocious beast is definitely not an ordinary Emperor-level beast; it is very likely that it has reached the mid-to-late stage of the Emperor level.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to do this.

"It is indeed terrifying, but for a mid-stage Emperor level being this terrifying."

Qin Wu also let out a rare sigh.

"Mid-stage Emperor level? Are you sure?"

Clan Chief Qin found it hard to believe that this ferocious beast was only at the mid-stage of the Emperor level.

Does that mean he can fight against opponents of higher levels?

You need to know how difficult it is to fight against opponents of higher levels after reaching the Emperor level.

Although it's only a minor level, the difference between them is significant.

"Confirmed, it has only reached the mid-stage of the Emperor level, but its strength and defense have far exceeded that of the mid-stage Emperor level."

Qin Wu said with certainty.

He has that much insight; he wouldn't be mistaken.

During the short time they were talking, only the elder at the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm remained from the Illusionary Sect.

Moreover, he was already severely injured; the next attack would be fatal.

However, Qin Wu did not want him to perish like this.

He still has a use for us.

Just as the ferocious beast's attack was about to land, Qin Wu appeared and directly blocked the beast's attack.

And in the next instant, an attack was launched, severely injuring the ferocious beast.

"Useless trash, you dare to follow me with such little skill?"

Qin Wu snorted coldly.

He didn't even glance at the Phantom Sect elder who was lying heavily injured on the ground.

The next moment, Qin Wu struck again, directly hitting the beast on the forehead with a palm strike, and the beast lost its life instantly.

Qin Wu casually put away the ferocious beast's corpse.

He then reappeared in front of the Phantom Sect elder.

Everyone else also showed up at this time.

"Bring him along; we might be able to use him if we encounter any danger later."

Qin Wu said expressionlessly.

After saying that, he headed in the direction the ferocious beast had come from. He had already sensed that there was a treasure there, which should be the treasure guarded by this ferocious beast.

The First Commander immediately signaled to his men to bring the Phantom Sect elder along, and they left with Qin Wu.

Soon, the group arrived at the location of the treasure.

Qin Wu then saw that it was actually a treasure shaped like a flying boat. Based on the aura emanating from it, he was certain that it was an Emperor-level treasure.

Moreover, it's a flying treasure.

Such treasures are very rare.

Especially since it reached the Emperor level, which has never been seen before.

The highest level of flying boats they can currently forge is only King-level; they can hardly forge Emperor-level ones.

It's not that no one can forge one, but rather that there are simply too many materials and too many formations required to forge a flying boat.

It far exceeds the value of an Emperor-level Immortal Artifact, and is worth dozens of times more.

Moreover, the manpower and resources required to forge such a magical artifact are far too great; it is simply not worthwhile.

Therefore, no one is willing to forge such a celestial artifact.

The appearance of this item, although only a low-grade Emperor-level item, is still quite good.

Qin Wu directly broke through the surrounding formation and put the flying boat away.

They continued their journey, stopping and starting along the way. Qin Wu and his companions acquired many more treasures and encountered numerous Emperor-level ferocious beasts. Moreover, the further they went in, the stronger the beasts became.

It wasn't just Qin Wu and his group; other forces also encountered the same danger.

However, not all forces were as relaxed as Qin Wu and his group. In just a few days, they suffered considerable losses.

This has made all forces even more cautious. They have only been in the secret realm for a short time, and many of their powerful members have already perished. They are worried that if this continues, they will not be able to make it to the end.

Until a month later.

They finally emerged from the forest and reunited at its edge.

However, when all the forces gathered together, they discovered that one-fifth of the people who had entered were missing.

There are still many dangers ahead.

Qin Wu looked at the cliff and kept scanning his surroundings.

There is no way forward now; they must find a way to move forward.
