The Desolate Era
15

Three days later, at dawn, Ning and her father came to the Dragon Castle.

The Dragon Castle was three hundred meters wide, one thousand meters long, and was divided into two parts; a cage, and a tunnel for ferocious beasts. The cage was where a life and death battle would be conducted, while the tunnel of ferocious beasts was where ferocious beasts were imprisoned. Since the Dragon Castle housed many ferocious beasts inside, it was extremely dangerous, which was why the castle was built outside the city.

..

Dragon Castle. In the Cage.

Ning entered Cage and looked around. This was an empty area that was two or three hundred meters in diameter. The four walls were all made of some sort of black metal, and on top of it was a black metal chain that formed a metal net, preventing anyone from escaping.

“This place is completely covered.” Yichuan, who faintly exuded a cold aura, said, The wall is formed with blackwater iron. Although blackwater iron was not an extremely valuable material, most early stage Xiantians would find it extremely difficult to damage such a thick blackwater iron wall. The thick chains above were also made of blackwater iron. Given your strength.if you want to use the power within the [Nine Heavens Crimsonbright Diagram] and use your full strength, you should be able to break the chain. But a net like this was formed from many chains, you might need ten breaths before you could break enough chains to escape.

Ning nodded.

“See.” Yichuan pointed to the air above the chain net. There's a viewing platform beyond that.

“Your mother and I, as well as your White Uncle, will be there watching you.” Yichuan said coldly.

“Cautious.” Snow cheered on his son.

“Abrow!” The snow-white dog also looked at Ning, his eyes filled with encouragement and anticipation. This snow-white dog was a lifelong friend of his father Yichuan, as well as his own White Uncle. In total, his father had tamed two Diremonsters; one of them was a huge black python, called Black Uncle! The other was a snow-white dog, his White Uncle.

A savage beast, after acquiring a level of intelligence, can begin to absorb natural energy and transform into a ferocious beast!

The savage beast, after managing a difficult transformation art, would enter the Xiantian level and become a Xiantian life form. Only then would they be considered as Diremonsters. In general, Diremonsters were capable of turning into humans, just like Black Uncle. But among the ferocious beasts, there was a very unique type of creature: Godbeasts.

Godbeasts were magical beasts that contained several lineages from ancient Fiendgods in the past. They are born intelligent, and have strong natural talents. Their strength was much greater than ordinary monster beasts. They also found it extremely difficult to transform into human form, and for different Godbeasts, the difficulty level was different as well.

Some need to reach the level of ‘Zifu’ before they can take human form. Some need to reach the level of ‘Wanxiang’. Some, even higher

Uncle White is a Godbeast of the ‘Whitewater Hound’ type, and he must reach Zifu level before he can take human form and speak in human language.

However, Ning and Whitewater Hound were very close to each other, because after being taught archery by his teacher, Blindfish, they were very close to each other, Ning would spend every morning with the Whitewater Hound in the forest outside of Western Prefecture to practice archery. Yichuan could not calm down with his son going alone, which was why he asked the Xiantian sentient being, ‘Whitewater Hound’, to help protect him.

The power of a Xiantian-level Godbeast was indeed terrifying! Whitewater Hound was one of the reasons why Yichuan had such a high position and reputation in the Ji clan in Western Prefecture.

“View.” only Ning's lips twisted into a smile.

“Gramming.” Whitewater Hound also growled, then followed Yichuan and Snow to a narrow path. Soon, they arrived at the viewing platform.

Ning sighed softly, calming himself as he looked around.

Why do I feel like I'm at the Coliseum? Ning silently muttered. “There is a place for battles, and there is a platform to see.” He knew that in general, only important disciples of the clan were allowed to engage in battles against the ferocious beasts here, which was why elders and clan family members often came to watch.

Hu. Hua

Hua

The sound of chains clinking at each other could be heard from the distant tunnel. Ning couldn't help but turn to look, and inside that pitch-black tunnel .. he could vaguely make a low and angry growling sound, a sound that completely shook the entire cage. Even the large chain net on top of the cage trembled because of that sound.

A large silver-haired head slowly emerged from within the distant tunnel.

“What is it?” Ning looked careful.

“Ning.” Yichuan said coldly from the observation platform on the cage, “You practiced at the number one Fiendgod Body Refining, so I specifically chose a monstrous beast that is extremely powerful for you, one with the Fiendgods bloodline: A Howling Moonwolf.”

Ning's eyes widened as she looked at her father above, a shocked expression on her face.

A ferocious beast that has a Fiendgods bloodline?

Then it'll be a Godbeast, right? But it made sense; Godbeasts were a type of monstrous beast. In the vast world, there were still a large number of Houtian-level Godbeasts roaming about, such as Armored Wurm, Earthquake Rhino, howling Moon Wolf, Redclawed Goldenraven, Thundersea Owl, or Whitewater Hound. In general, out of every thousand Houtian-level Godbeasts, only one could break through to the Xiantian lifeform level.

“Hua ..” The sound of metal clanking continues.

Ning did not lose his focus. He stared at the giant tunnel on the wall. He knew that they might let go of the chain on the other side. Once the chain is removed, Howling Moonwolf will be released.

Pengcheng! The sound of metal chains hitting the floor.

Hooooooowls! Instantly, a carefree wolf howl sounded. In the air above, Yichuan, his wife, and Whitewater Hound stared meticulously down.

Ning held his breath.

From the distant tunnel, a huge creature slowly came out. Her entire body was covered with beautiful silver feathers. It was over two meters tall, and its steps were graceful. It stared at the small pipsqueak standing in the distance; a human male. As one of the special types of monster, Godbeast, the creature's intelligence was no lower than that of humans.

He knows that there are only two possible results after entering this cage. The first is to kill this human and continue to live. The others will be killed by this human youth.

The Howling Moonwolf's massive body weighed nearly ten thousand pounds, but its four legs moved with great nimbleness as it closed the distance. His long, narrowed eyes observed this human youth.

Ning walked forward, step by step, with a long sword in hand.

The distance between the two quickly approached.

Shu! Howling Moonwolf's movements suddenly changed from graceful to savage, and suddenly turned blurry as it pounced on Ning, and its previously soft claws suddenly had sharp claws emerging from it as well.

Holy hooch!

At the critical moment, Ning suddenly moved, graceful as the wind as he dodged the Howling Moonwolf attack, and then stabbed out with a sharp sword in his hand! His stab was extremely strong and straight, and also lightning-fast. If it managed to land on Howling Moonwolf's body, it would be able to borrow the charging power from Moonwolf and tear his body apart!

“Hah?” As he stabbed, Ning's face suddenly changed. The tip of the sword had met with a powerful blocking force. Howling Moonwolf's feathers had blocked the tip of the sword, preventing it from penetrating.

At the same time, Howling Moonwolf suddenly sent his tail towards Ning. Unable to dodge in time, Ning quickly used his sword to block.

Bang out!

Moonwolf's tail landed on the sword like a heavy iron whip, and the powerful force made Ning fly away, his body slamming into the distant blackwater iron wall with an explosion. Bang out! The thick walls vibrate violently.

“Abrow!” The Howling Moonwolf immediately followed up with another pounce as it slashed at Ning with its claws.

Ning quickly dodged with a flying leap.

The chi! The chi! The chi! Several deep claw marks appeared on the blackwater iron wall. The Moon Wolf landed on the ground, then looked at the distant human youth. His tail attack was his murder weapon. Its tail had made the human youth slam into the wall, but the human youth could actually quickly dodge far away. It was understood that this human youth was really very strong, strong enough to give him a good fight.

“An ordinary Ninefang Warrior, after meeting that tail, maybe their organs will be split.” Ning frowned as he looked at Howling Moonwolf. It seems that I have to rely on the power of the Fiendgod Body Refining.

These years, he had also been involved in Ki Refining and had achieved Houtian level mastery.

But his attack with the Houtian level Ki technique could not even break through his fur. How could he use it to fight?

Hrmph!

Ning let out a deep growl, and from his nostrils came two streams of energy visible to the naked eye. The flow of energy caused the air itself to vibrate. At that moment, the hidden and terrifying potential power lying dormant in his body suddenly exploded, and the hidden Sun Power and Moon Power also exploded, and his entire body began to blush.

With a slight movement of the sword in his hand, Ning smashed the air in front of him and carved a large trench into the thick ground.

The distant Howling Moonwolf let out a low growl, staring intently at this young man.

.

The boy finally started using the [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens]. Snow laughs. “Before this, he was still trying to avoid doing so.”

Yichuan nodded. The Howling Moonwolves have a lineage of Fiendgods. Their feathers were extremely tough, and ordinary Houtian experts were unable to break through them. I deliberately chose this creature to force Ning to use all of her strength, and see how much she could use in a real life and death fight.

“What do you think about Ning facial expression?” Yuchi Snow asked.

“Rata-rata.” Ji Yichuan looked down. “She is quite calm.”

.

Twisting the sword in his hand, Ning slowly walked towards Howling Moonwolf, circling around him.

The Moonwolf looked at Ning as well, choosing not to rashly attack. This was because once it attacked.it would expose its own flaws as well. It will be a defining moment of life or death.

Hrmphs. Not hesitating at all, Ning suddenly charged forward after Moonwolf, his body becoming blurred.

With a howl, Howling Moonwolf immediately pounced over as well, opening his huge jaw and revealing his sharp fangs. His sharp claws tore Ning apart as well.

Shua!

Sword glint!

The sword shadow slashed through the air, attacking in close range while changing its trajectory nine times. His speed was so fast, so fast that it was as if even a void was cut off with him. Chi chi chi chi chi ch. The flashing sword cut through Moonwolf's chest, carved a huge wound, and fresh blood instantly gushed out.

“Block.” Right after Ning cut in with one sword, he immediately turned his sword back and blocked the claws of Howling Moonwolf, while simultaneously borrowing the clashing power to fly backwards and backwards.

The Howling Moonwolf stared angrily at Ning. The huge wound on his chest shrank, and the blood flow began to slow down, but it still continued to drip blood. Obviously, the wound was too big.

The howling Moon Wolf now actually felt the coming of death!

The technique of [Thunderflame Sword], ‘Thunderflash Flint’, is really amazing. Ning sighed softly.
