Chapter 1241: Chapter 1240: The Wang Family’s Conspiracy, the Ferocious Crocodile

”Yes, let them all die in there. This way, even if Demon Beasts and Demons come out, their corpses can become food!”

”These people pretend to seek revenge for their lost comrades, but in truth, they all want to enter the Forbidden Zone to discover rare treasures and seize the Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass. They deserve it!”

”Just watch; nearly a hundred powerful martial artists have entered this time. A great battle will surely ensue among them, and bloodshed is inevitable!”

After hearing the words of the Wang family elder, some young disciples of the Wang family began to discuss maliciously. At this time, a middle-aged martial artist quickly flew over, approached the elder, and reported: ”Elder, after the family head and several Supreme Elders discussed, they decided to do this...”

”Hahaha, excellent. As I expected, let’s allow those who have entered the Original Restricted Zone to all perish. It’s their own doing. I didn’t expect the family head and the Supreme Elders to have foreseen this and made such a decisive decision. I know what to do now!” The elder guarding the Wang family’s back mountain gate said cruelly with laughter upon hearing the middle-aged martial artist’s report.

”This is the Sky Suppressing Tower, now entrusted to you, elder. The family head instructed that anyone daring to forcefully enter the Original Restricted Zone will be suppressed with this tower. Furthermore, any martial artist, except those from our Wang family, coming out of the Original Restricted Zone must be shock killed!” The middle-aged martial artist also said viciously.

”Good!” The Wang family elder, taking over the Sky Suppressing Tower, said this one word with a malicious smile.

Hundreds of powerful martial artists, from various legacies, have entered the ”Original Restricted Zone.” They indeed seek to seize rare treasures and the Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass. However, this is understandable, as every legacy power desires such things. Furthermore, the ”Original Restricted Zone” does not belong solely to the Wang family. It exists within the Penglai Ancient Martial World, accessible to any martial artist or legacy power. The Wang family was indeed overbearing and unreasonable, treating it as their possession. They neither have the courage nor the strength to enter, nor do they allow others to have it—they are too domineering. However, nobody expected the Wang family to be so malicious as to plan to slaughter everyone who entered the ”Original Restricted Zone,” preventing them from taking anything out. They did not hesitate to use the Ancient Saint’s treasure, the ”Sky Suppressing Tower,” to guard the back mountain gate. Moreover, the Wang family sent their strong men led by a Supreme Elder, who entered with another powerful treasure. Ye Tianchen and others face not only the inherent dangers of the ”Original Restricted Zone” but also attacks from the Wang family—indeed, it is exceedingly dangerous!

Ye Tianchen flew toward the ”Original Restricted Zone.” Once past the back mountain gate of Linxian City, he was free from concerns. Suddenly, he used the ”Divine Movement Skill,” transforming into a beam of light, rushing toward the ”Original Restricted Zone” not far away.

Upon reaching the edge of the ”Original Restricted Zone,” Ye Tianchen was taken aback by a chill, one that felt inexplicable—like a chill that touched the soul, causing his divine mind unease. Subsequently, Ye Tianchen did not rashly charge in but slowed his steps, performing Qi Manipulation Flight a few hundred meters above the ground, slowly entering. Suddenly, something struck him, leaving him momentarily stunned. He involuntarily said, ”

”The ancient aura, indeed, this is from the time when the primordial chaos was just beginning, birthing various species’ auras. I didn’t expect such potent aura to be preserved here. Could there truly be a race from ancient times inherited here?”

”Old Master Yuweng, Xiao Ling, you both must stay safe!” Ye Tianchen clenched his fists tightly, thinking.

As he proceeded, Ye Tianchen discovered traces of many martial artists—some auras and footprints, indicating some martial artists had come down to check. Suddenly, Ye Tianchen halted, his intuition sensing danger ahead, a threat extraordinarily powerful, as if a strong murderous aura encompassed a certain range. Nearing it carelessly would result in certain death.

Cautiously, Ye Tianchen crept forward, and upon reaching a mountain peak, he discovered bloodstains and several martial artists’ corpses, all mangled, as if gnawed by something. Ye Tianchen was shocked—those martial artists weren’t weak; even the weakest among them had Mid-stage Martial Sovereign cultivation, yet they were devoured alive. What kind of creature could be so ferocious?

Roar!

At the sound of an angry roar, Ye Tianchen swiftly shifted to one side. The roar was not merely deafening but carried a formidable sonic wave, shattering stones and trees nearby. Even with his physical body power, if struck, he wouldn’t be injured but would be knocked back, revealing himself too blatantly. It was better to evade and see what kind of creature this was!

It appeared. Opposite Ye Tianchen, atop a low peak, appeared a massive crocodile, entirely black, exuding a murderous aura. In its mouth was the cadaver of a martial artist, which it was chewing and swallowing alive, astonishing Ye Tianchen. A high-level practitioner of Mid-stage Martial Venerate cultivation was consumed like this. The crocodile’s cultivation realm was too formidable; even Ye Tianchen dared not provoke it lightly!

Splash!

The giant and crimson tongue of the crocodile suddenly stretched out, rolled up the corpse of a martial artist from the ground, which it had presumably killed earlier, and swallowed it whole. Ye Tianchen realized that this was likely the crocodile’s method of cultivation. It was known that many Demon Beasts and Ancient Alien Races cultivated by devouring the flesh and blood of living beings, absorbing the essence and strength to forge their own bodies. This crocodile should be cultivating in such a way. Although this method is brutal and bloody, it is extremely effective. If it can devour the flesh and blood of a Supreme Strong individual, its cultivation realm and strength can increase dramatically in an instant. Therefore, many Demon Beasts choose this cultivation method.

Roar!

Suddenly, that crocodile moved, charging directly at Ye Tianchen, with fresh blood dripping from its mouth. It was precisely the corpse of that Late Martial Venerate martial artist, with half a head still outside, extremely gory. It rushed at Ye Tianchen with such bloodlust.

Bang! Boom!

The crocodile crossed mountains and valleys, its gigantic claw landed on a mountain peak, crushing the giant rock at the top in the process, testament to its immense strength, a force that shook the heavens and earth. It was like a fierce beast emerging, rushing towards Ye Tianchen.

Snap!

The tail of the crocodile swept across, aiming at Ye Tianchen, which startled him. Who knew how many years this crocodile had been cultivating, clearly it had already attained some spiritual intelligence and refinement. From the beginning, it had spotted Ye Tianchen’s hiding place, and now suddenly launched into an attack, intending to swat Ye Tianchen to death with its tail.

Bang!

In such a place, with the way blocked by the crocodile, Ye Tianchen had no choice but to fight. As the crocodile’s tail swept over, he struck out with his hands, choosing to confront the crocodile head-on.

After a loud noise, Ye Tianchen was knocked back four or five meters, and the crocodile also raised its massive tail, surprised at Ye Tianchen. It didn’t expect that this insignificant human could withstand the power of its tail strike. Meanwhile, Ye Tianchen felt his arms go numb, shocked within. What kind of creature was this crocodile, possessing such immense power? To think his physical body strength had already reached Late Stage Martial Saint, yet he was numbed by a single tail strike. This crocodile was no ordinary being, capable of treating experts at the Martial Venerate cultivation realm as food, numbing his arms with a single tail swipe. Ye Tianchen couldn’t underestimate it!

”Your beastly physical strength is indeed formidable. Desolate Stone Village lacks a fierce beast to guard its entrance. How about joining me to watch over the house?” Ye Tianchen smiled at the crocodile and asked.

Roar!

The crocodile, though unable to speak human language, seemed to understand human words. It truly had attained spiritual cultivation for a long time, and its strength was formidable. Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, it roared angrily and stood upright like a mountain, making Ye Tianchen seem like a tiny ant in front of it, highlighting the massive size difference. With the intention of crushing Ye Tianchen alive with its enormous body.

Snap!

This time, the crocodile didn’t swing its gigantic tail but instead raised one of its formidable claws, striking down towards Ye Tianchen with an overwhelming force capable of splitting the air. The entire mountain range seemed to tremble. Ye Tianchen was startled but didn’t retreat, revealing a slight smile on his lips. Though the crocodile was exceedingly powerful, Ye Tianchen was confident he could subdue it. He thought his physical body strength should still be slightly stronger than this crocodile’s.

Buzz!

Ye Tianchen’s physical strength surged, tightly clenching his right fist. As he faced the descending massive crocodile claw, he punched out forcefully, fist light clashing with the crocodile claw, creating a thunderous sound. A spray of blood flew up, and the crocodile let out a miserable cry. Its mountain-like claw was pierced through by Ye Tianchen’s punch powerfully, creating a large hole, fresh blood dripping...
