Monarch Of Time

Chapter 928 First trial: Test of Strength! (2)

As he looked at the two peak rank 6 magic beasts that had almost finished forming their bodies by now, Shun Long merely nodded indifferently before his figure suddenly turned into a blur, heading directly for the gigantic lizard in the distance.

Although average peak-stage Dao Kings would find it extremely difficult to deal with even a single one of those powerful magic beasts, let alone with both of them at the same time, Shun Long didn't even consider it much of a challenge as he immediately set his eyes on the cadaverous beast that was closest to him!

In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of the emaciated lizard, before turning his gaze towards the gigantic lizard's bony head.

The gaunt monster's beady black eyes seemed somewhat startled by Shun Long's unexpected arrival, but the hunger and malice inside them couldn't be concealed as the bony beast stared savagely at the azure-robed young man that dared to approach it!

Unfortunately for the lizard, Shun Long wasn't planning to waste any time with it and was aiming to take the beast down with a single strike!

In the next moment, the muscles in his entire body stretched taut before his Monarch's Eternal body exploded with unimaginable power. A force that could obliterate even the strongest Dao Kings gathered around his right fist before it barreled towards the enormous beast in front of him like a torrential wave, causing even the surrounding space to crackle and tremble in response.

As Shun Long's right fist cut through the air, an unstoppable power crushed towards the 'Ravenous Earth lizard', causing the air within the ancient coliseum to suddenly turn heavy and oppressive.

There were no high-grade martial skills hidden behind this attack, nor any powerful Daos infused into it. It was just the power of Shun Long's fleshly body. And yet, it was almost as if death itself had materialized with that attack, as the terrifying fist shook the entire arena before it descended on the bony lizard's head!

Unlike the 'Blood Devouring Ape' however, the 'Ravenous Earth lizard' wasn't that easy to pin down. After sensing the overwhelming power hidden behind that fist, the beast seemed to have instantly realized the lethal danger it was in and quickly made its decision.

In a swift motion, the bony lizard twisted its slender body in a weird, almost unnatural way, easily avoiding the terrifying strike before burrowing into the ground right below it.

The grains of sand underneath it turned almost liquid, allowing the lizard to dive through them before making its escape!

That was the most dangerous trait of the 'Ravenous Earth lizard'... its affinity to the Dao of Earth paired with its overwhelming agility.

And yet, as he looked at the giant lizard that was trying to flee right in front of him, Shun Long merely shook his head before his lips parted, as an indifferent voice entered the lizard's ears

''Since I'm already here, do you really think you can escape?''

In the next moment, Shun Long's golden eyes lit up with a bright blue light, before his next two words caused the lizard's body to abruptly freeze into place!

''...Time Prison!''

As the flow of time around the 'Ravenous Earth lizard' forcefully came to a halt, its massive body that had almost vanished into the ground trembled momentarily, before it was suddenly severed in half by the purple, illusionary blade that had now materialized in Shun Long's right hand.

A moment later, its massive figure turned into wisps of immortal qi that dispersed in the air, as the body of the powerful peak rank 6 magic beast disappeared from the ancient coliseum, leaving behind nothing but a single white stone on the ground below it.

Seeing the 'Ravenous Earth lizard's body disappear, Shun Long was about to turn his sights on the 'Red Lightning sparrow', but his gaze couldn't help but freeze as it landed on the small white stone the lizard had left behind.

Naturally, Shun Long was aware that the 2 magic beasts he was facing weren't actually real. Although their strength was indeed similar to that of other peak rank 6 magic beasts, at the end of the day, they were only apparitions created by the 'Heavenly Tower' meant for the trials! Therefore, these magic beasts shouldn't have left anything behind upon their deaths, including magic beast cores or parts of their bodies. However, as Shun Long's gaze fell on the small white stone, his eyes couldn't help but widen, before an incredulous thought flashed through his mind

''Is that a top-grade spirit stone? Did the 'Ravenous Earth lizard' just leave behind a top-grade spirit stone?''

As this thought appeared in his mind, Shun Long hurriedly bent down and touched the small white stone that was shining with a brilliant luster, before his disbelieving expression quickly turned into a look of wonder and shock.

A top-grade spirit stone wasn't something that Dao Kings normally had access to, regardless of their background or power. Even in the central continent, these spirit stones were akin to treasures and were only used by either late-stage Sovereign realm experts, or the supreme Earth Immortals who were usually in seclusion, hidden from mortal eyes! It was almost impossible for normal cultivators to get their hands on these treasures regardless of how much they looked. One needed not just status, but also extraordinary strength if they wanted to procure any top-grade spirit stones in the outside world! Of course, a single top-grade spirit stone wasn't overly valuable by itself. It was merely equivalent to a thousand high-grade spirit stones, which was a drop in the ocean for Shun Long at this point. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, the mere notion that one could obtain a top-grade spirit stone by slaying a peak rank 6 magic beast couldn't help but stun Shun Long internally. If that was the case, then just what other rewards did the 'Heavenly Tower' have in store in its upper floors?

As this thought flashed through his mind, Shun Long couldn't help but turn his attention on the 'Red Lightning sparrow'. However, this time in his indifferent expression, a hint of curiosity could be seen rearing its rare head.
