"Rumor has it that Xu Chuan, the Holy Son of Taiyi, possesses extraordinary talent and his strength overwhelms his generation. Seeing him today, he truly lives up to his reputation!"
Wang Hao, the patriarch of the Beast God Clan, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.
However, his opening was not an accusation towards Xu Chuan, but rather praise.
He had been observing Xu Chuan, trying to understand the source of his audacity to single-handedly attack the Beast God Clan.
But unfortunately, he found no answer.
Thus, it could only be that Xu Chuan was supremely confident in his own strength, confident that no one in the Beast God Clan could defeat him!
Otherwise, Xu Chuan would not have been so reckless, nor would he have chosen this moment for revenge!
Although this speculation was hard to believe, the facts were undeniable, forcing Wang Hao to consider the future of the Beast God Clan.
Therefore, after much deliberation, he made a difficult decision.
That was to seek peace with Xu Chuan!
Wang Hao continued to stare at Xu Chuan, saying, "Holy Son Xu, you brought two people to forcibly enter our Beast God Clan today and killed two of my clansmen. Isn't that breaking the rules?"
The reason he said this was to gauge Xu Chuan's reaction.
To see if there was any possibility of a peaceful resolution.
"Rules?"
Xu Chuan let out a cold laugh. "Your clansmen have repeatedly targeted me, even sending assassins to kill me while I slept. Did you ever consider breaking the rules then?"
"Now I'm merely returning the favor. You talk to me about rules?"
"Here today, whoever has the bigger fist makes the rules!"
Xu Chuan gave Wang Hao no face, speaking with unyielding firmness.
They talk about rules now?
Where were they before!
Although the various forces in the Eastern Region had long established regulations that as long as these ancient clans did not arbitrarily leave the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, outsiders were forbidden from proactively attacking these reclusive ancient clans.
But Xu Chuan feared none of that today!
He held a trump card against the Beast God Clan!
Even if he were to slaughter the entire Beast God Clan, no one would hold him accountable afterward; they would likely commend him for a job well done!
During the Dao Debate Assembly, Wang Lin had dispatched a Void Realm assassin from the Shadow Clan to assassinate him.
Had it not been for the protection of the Golden Ancient Palace, he might have perished then and there!
And the Shadow Clan, as the name suggests, was related to the Shadow Clan among the Demon Race!
This was indeed the case.
This Shadow Clan was once a race that betrayed humanity, willingly worshipping the Shadow Demon Ancestor and transforming their human bodies into forms similar to the Shadow Clan.
During that great war, relying on this talent, experts from the Shadow Clan assassinated many human powerhouses.
It was precisely because of this that after the Demon Race retreated, the Shadow Clan was massacred by the human race.
Branded as a forbidden race after several near extinctions!
But with their innate talent, they always managed to resurface.
Now, the Beast God Clan harbored a group of Shadow Clan members, which was a grave offense!
A sin of unforgivable magnitude.
Even if Xu Chuan exterminated the Beast God Clan, he would face no punishment; instead, he would be hailed as a hero of the Eastern Region!
"Xu Chuan, I admit your strength is immense!"
"But don't forget, this is our Beast God Clan's territory. With just the three of you, do you really think you can annihilate us? That's a bit too arrogant, isn't it?"
"Moreover, I have already notified other ancient clans that are allied with us, and reinforcements will arrive soon. With coordinated efforts, it will be your demise!"
"Don't regret it then!"
Wang Hao, seeing that his probing was unsuccessful, resorted to threats, hoping to make Xu Chuan retreat.
Having witnessed Xu Chuan's strength, he no longer wished for prolonged confrontation.
Even if he wanted to kill Xu Chuan, he would need to plan carefully!
At this moment, he felt some regret, regretting why he hadn't agreed to that person's request on the spot.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a passive situation!
"Enough, no more pointless talk!"
"Today, your Beast God Clan will be annihilated!"
"Whatever you have to say, go tell it to King Yama!"
Xu Chuan, unwilling to waste more time arguing with Wang Hao, directly interrupted their exchange.
Seeing this, the patriarch of the Beast God Clan's expression grew even more grim.
When had he, the dignified patriarch of a reclusive ancient clan, been reduced to negotiating with a junior?
Furthermore, this junior was the killer of his son!
This was an immense humiliation!
Anyone else would have flipped the table by now!
But his strength was inferior, so he could only endure.
Yet Xu Chuan's attitude was so unyielding, and his resolve to exterminate the Beast God Clan was so clear!
Other strong members of the Beast God Clan by his side could no longer stand by and spoke out.
"Patriarch, kill him directly!"
"Even if we die, we'll take him down with us!"
Meanwhile, the ordinary members of the Beast God Clan, whom he protected, began to whisper amongst themselves.
They felt their patriarch had utterly disgraced the Beast God Clan!
Someone had come to their doorstep and killed people, yet he dared not fight back. He was unfit to be their patriarch!
Hearing these words, Wang Hao's face turned ashen. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said with hatred, "Since you insist on seeking death, then do not blame me!"
With that said.
Wang Hao descended directly into his clan's territory.
The experts around him followed suit.
At this moment, he looked at the surrounding Beast God Clan members, then at Xu Chuan, and said in a deep voice, "Activate the Totem Pillar and invite the Beast God to descend!"
"Let our Holy Son Xu know that our Beast God Clan is not to be trifled with!"
"Anyone who dares to act here will pay a terrible price!"
The Totem Pillar was the supreme treasure of the Beast God Clan, and their ultimate trump card for survival.
It was always employed only when the clan faced a life-or-death crisis.
It could completely reverse the Beast God Clan's defeat, thus preventing them from fading into the river of time!
However, the Totem Pillar had a drawback: each activation required a large amount of blood from the Beast God Clan members.
Moreover, the more times it was used, the weaker the avatar of the Beast God summoned by the Totem Pillar would become!
After a certain number of uses, the Totem Pillar would be completely destroyed.
At that point, the Beast God Clan would have no more trump cards!
In this current era, the Beast God Clan's Totem Pillar had only one last activation opportunity remaining.
Although he was extremely reluctant, he had no choice but to use it!
Because he knew very well that facing Xu Chuan, no one within his clan was his match.
Only by using the Totem Pillar could a sliver of hope be secured for the Beast God Clan!
As long as they could hold on until the reinforcements from other ancient clans arrived, then it would be the demise of Xu Chuan and his two companions!
"Invite the Beast God to descend and slay all enemies!"
Wang Hao commanded coldly, then watched as his clansmen one by one approached the Totem Pillar, pouring their blood upon it.
The Totem Pillar slowly began to emit a blood-red glow!
"Roar!"
As the blood-red light shot up into the sky, a powerful beastly roar echoed through the heavens.
Judging by the sound alone, its immense strength was evident.
Soon, a figure squeezed out from the void and appeared before everyone.
Wang Hao gazed at the figure that had appeared, his eyes filled with fanatical fervor.
He pointed at Xu Chuan and declared, "Great Beast God, slay the enemy before us for the sake of my Beast God Clan!"
His voice was cold, laced with a chilling murderous intent.
