Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Something’s Off About the Divine Secret Realm!
The outside world.
Vera suddenly turned around in alarm.
She sensed a large mass of Demonic Qi approaching.
"Master! A large amount of Demonic Qi is rapidly approaching!"
Upon hearing Vera’s warning, Gu Xing immediately instructed Vera and Qing Shuang to prepare.
Although the strength of both guardian beasts had already touched the threshold of Monarch Level,
they still needed to proceed cautiously when facing a large number of Commander Level demons.
In no time, over ten shadowy figures broke through the dense forest. They were all Commander Peak demons.
They were originally rushing at full speed to the site of the Divine Pattern formation at the center of the secret realm, but unexpectedly encountered Gu Xing and his group along the way.
"Humans?! How could there be humans in the Divine Secret Realm?"
"Impossible! The rules of the secret realm make it impossible for living beings to survive here for long!"
"Could they have come from the outside? But with the Demon King guarding the entrance, how could anyone breach the defenses?"
The demons looked at each other, unable to ascertain Gu Xing’s identity for the moment.
Suddenly, a demon in the group spoke up:
"Could it be... something happened outside after we entered the secret realm?"
Although this group of demons was full of doubt about Gu Xing’s presence, they did not see him as a threat at all.
In their eyes, any creature capable of entering the secret realm must possess power at the Commander Level.
And they were over ten demons at Commander Peak!
How could this human possibly be a match for them?!
"No matter who you are, today you must die!"
Gu Xing’s gaze swept over the demons calmly, his system panel capturing all their information in an instant.
A uniform array of Demon General Level (Epic Quality) demons.
If an ordinary Tier Four Beast Master were to encounter such a lineup, they would surely turn and flee.
But standing here was the number one ultimate Beast Master of the Human Race!
All Myth Level guardian beasts!
In addition to two major talents and two major domains!
"Vera, Qing Shuang." Gu Xing’s voice was as cold as ice, "Leave no alive."
As soon as he finished speaking, two dazzling lights burst forth.
"Elf Monarchy!"
Vera crossed her hands in front of her chest, a green crown appearing on her forehead, and a green Divine Ring manifesting behind her.
"Ghost King’s Body!"
Qing Shuang was enveloped in black Ghost Qi, and her formerly delicate features bore ferocious Ghost Patterns.
Both guardian beasts activated their most powerful forms.

Compared to Liu Li, the attributes of the two guardian beasts were significantly lower.
However, compared to these Commander Level demons...
Vera and Qing Shuang’s attributes were overwhelmingly dominant!
For a quick victory, they even activated the "Absolute Forbidden Domain"!
As an invisible ripple spread out, this group of demons couldn’t even use their domains!
From then on, this group of demons became mere lambs to the slaughter.
A one-sided massacre ensued.
A quarter of an hour later, only the lingering Demonic Qi on the battlefield attested to the demons’ previous presence.
With the last demon’s fall, Gu Xing’s level finally broke through the long-stalled Commander Tier Four.
He reached Commander Tier Five!
Vera and Qing Shuang’s levels also increased, their strength progressing to a higher level.
After dealing with this group of demons, Gu Xing planned to lead his guardian beasts to the center of the secret realm.
The Divine Pattern was there, and arriving first would allow them to ambush the gathering demons at their leisure.
However...
Vera suddenly spoke up:
"Master, there’s a place... that seems to have some connection to the Elf Race!"
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Gu Xing turned around in surprise, meeting Vera’s gaze.
Could the Divine Secret Realm be connected to the Elf Race?
Vera nodded.
After entering the secret realm earlier, she felt something familiar...
But she didn’t dare confirm it.
Now, after utilizing the Power of Nature within her, she discovered that the secret realm contained a place that had been constantly drawing her.
Realizing this, she immediately conveyed her feelings to Gu Xing.
Upon hearing this news, Gu Xing also frowned slightly.
It seemed the original plan needed changing!
"Vera, lead the way! Let’s go check out the place you sensed!"
After all, the formation of the Divine Pattern would take some time, and they could use that time to explore what lay there.
With Gu Xing’s agreement, Vera immediately led him to the place she’d sensed.
Along the way, they encountered many demons.
But in front of Vera and Qing Shuang, these demons had no power to resist whatsoever.
Soon, a majestic Divine Hall enveloped by ancient restrictions appeared before them.
Gu Xing’s pupils contracted slightly...
The design of this Divine Hall was remarkably similar to the buildings he’d seen during trials after his awakening!
Vera closed her eyes, focusing her perception for a moment before saying:
"Master, it seems to be a place of inheritance left by the Elf Race..."
Just then, the restriction shrouding the hall responded to Vera’s pure Natural Qi, rippling like water and revealing an entrance just wide enough for one person to pass through.
Exchanging a knowing glance with Vera, Gu Xing was the first to step into the Divine Hall.
As soon as his foot landed, an ethereal and distant voice echoed within the hall:
"Welcome to the Elven Race’s sacred inheritance ground, Trial Taker. Pass the tests to obtain the supreme inheritance of the Elven Race!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xing couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Elven inheritance?
What a joke!
The princess of the Elf Clan was right beside him!
If anyone was to claim the Elven inheritance, who could be more legitimate than her?
Vera showed the same confusion, her delicate brows furrowed tightly.
Indeed, the Elf Empress had set up several inheritance grounds in the outside world to store the keys to opening the Elf Secret Realm.
But this Divine Hall before him...
Something was evidently wrong!
Gu Xing and Vera exchanged a glance.
If this wasn’t a trial set by the Elf Empress, then...
Take a shortcut!
If it had been in the past when his strength was insufficient, he might have obediently taken the trial.
But now...
"Vera, are you sure there’s another restriction under the ground?"
"Yes! That’s how the Elf Race’s trials work! You have to pass the trial to activate it."
Gu Xing let out a cold laugh and gave Qing Shuang a glance.
The latter immediately understood, her body erupting with Netherworld Ghost Qi.
"Ghost King’s Body!"
"Heaven-Breaking!"
[Power: 37500→112500]
With the support of Ghost King’s Body and Heaven-Breaking, Qing Shuang’s Strength Attribute soared, nearly reaching the level Liu Li achieved when activating the Destruction Angel Form.
This power completely surpassed the Commander Level, officially stepping into the Monarch Level domain!
Qing Shuang’s cold eyes locked onto the ground of the Divine Hall, veins bulging on her slender arm.
"Boom——!!!"
With a deafening crash, Qing Shuang’s heavy fist struck the ground fiercely.
The entire Divine Hall trembled violently, the exquisite floor tiles shattering like fragile glass, revealing the ancient rune-illuminated restrictive light screen beneath.
Through this transparent restriction, Gu Xing could clearly see the items inside, his eyes widening suddenly!
[Earth Marrow]
[Quality: Myth Level]
[Function: Enhance the talent of the Natural Spirit Clan]
The final material for Vera’s talent enhancement...
It was here!
However, Lilith in the Beast Taming Space frowned tightly when she saw this scene.
She keenly sensed something was amiss...
This so-called Divine Secret Realm seemed a bit off!
