Chapter 1187 - 1212: The Tiger Elephant Beast’s Secret (Part 1)

Chu Linfeng felt very confident in his Light Transformation, believing that once he concealed himself, these colossal beasts wouldn’t realize a danger was already upon them.

Having now broken through to the Early-stage Immortal Emperor realm, his strength was immeasurably greater than before. Chu Linfeng decided to target a Mid-stage Immortal Emperor Tiger Elephant Beast to test his might. He soon chose one—the big guy in the middle.

Quickly flying above the head of this Tiger Elephant Beast, Chu Linfeng didn’t stand on it but instead floated in the air, slowly taking out the Cyan Frost Divine Sword from the Storage Ring.

Just as he was about to unleash a Star Slash to test his power, a Tiger Elephant Beast suddenly let out a skyward roar, the thunderous sound almost deafening Chu Linfeng.

"Such a powerful sonic attack; could it be that these guys can see my body?" Chu Linfeng said irritably.

"They can’t see your body, but they can clearly see your Cyan Frost Divine Sword. You must know, Immortal Beasts have senses much sharper than Immortals; they can perceive danger in advance and warn others. That Tiger Elephant Beast just now definitely sensed danger, which is why it cried out," said Jade Immortal Emperor.

At this moment, all the Tiger Elephant Beasts began roaring skyward, waves of sound reverberating. The trees within a hundred-mile radius were shattered into splinters and sawdust by these sounds, the terrifying effect causing Chu Linfeng to break into a cold sweat.

Such a strong sonic attack could completely annihilate Immortals below Celestial Immortal. If an Immortal Beast battle occurred and they roared like this on the battlefield, wouldn’t they instantly kill a large number of Immortals? These creatures are truly terrifying, and if a Tiger Elephant Beast appears in such a battle, it must be slain immediately, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

Shaking his head, feeling a bit better, Chu Linfeng glanced at the Tiger Elephant Beast beneath him and, with a thought, swiftly unleashed a Star Slash. The powerful Sword Qi attack instantly appeared on the Tiger Elephant Beast’s back, directly slicing this mountain-sized behemoth into pieces.

Chu Linfeng didn’t expect his Star Slash to have such massive power; after releasing it, the whole space shook, spawning several massive tornadoes that swept the earth and the splintered trees into the sky, creating an end-of-the-world atmosphere.

After slaying the Tiger Elephant Beast, Chu Linfeng quickly used Divine Sense to examine its beast pill and soon found it in the belly, easily obtaining it once the body was fragmented. Chu Linfeng immediately flew down to retrieve the beast pill, placing it into the Storage Ring.

However, to his surprise, the once colossal Tiger Elephant Beast had transformed into a humanoid form, albeit awkwardly, with a human-like appearance but still the elephant’s trunk over a foot long.

Unexpectedly, these creatures can transform into human form, so they must be able to speak human language as well. Just as Chu Linfeng was pondering this to himself, a roar echoed in his ear.

"Who dares harm my Tiger Elephant Beast member? Come out and face me! I, the king, want to meet you face-to-face!" The speaker was a burly middle-aged man, about three meters tall.

Chu Linfeng sensed numerous Divine Senses probing his body, making it difficult to move for a moment. As long as he didn’t move, these creatures wouldn’t easily find him, as there’d be no energy fluctuations—he’d be as transparent, or invisible.

The aura emanating from this middle-aged man’s body was of Late Stage Immortal Emperor peak strength, far more potent than Zuo Gufei and Nangong Ming, making him a truly formidable adversary whom Chu Linfeng must handle carefully.

Just then, a golden lightning bolt suddenly attacked Chu Linfeng—and the one who unleashed it was that middle-aged man. The bolt targeted the very location where Chu Linfeng was currently concealed, surprising him.

His figure flickered as he swiftly dodged the lightning bolt. Although Chu Linfeng was not very afraid of thunder and lightning, he did not dare take this bolt lightly; it might indeed harm him, perhaps his Heart Spirit or soul.

"Human, do you think we can’t see you if you hide your form? My Tiger Elephant Race is naturally very sensitive to invisible things, and once transformed into human form you’re virtually untraceable. But if you dare kill my people, you’re doomed today," the middle-aged man declared.

"Seriously? Can this guy really see me? That’s truly odd. Is he speaking this way to make me reveal myself and then subject me to a collective attack from these creatures? Some Immortal Beasts are indeed very intelligent, their wisdom no less than humans’," Chu Linfeng mused aloud.

"It seems if I don’t show you my strength, you’ll consider my Tiger Elephant Beasts easily bullied. Everyone, attack him together and show him our golden lightning bolt’s might!" continued the middle-aged man.

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of lightning bolts quickly shot towards Chu Linfeng, the surrounding space crackling with noise due to the sheer quantity of bolts. Faced with this, Chu Linfeng was speechless and promptly used Earth Transformation to hide himself in the ground, evading the strike.

Even after burrowing into the ground, Chu Linfeng felt a tingling sensation on his body, emerging only after delving several dozen meters underground. If the bolts directly struck him, their power wouldn’t be less than a Thunder Tribulation, and a terrifying one at that.

Chu Linfeng immediately emerged above ground, knowing as the master of a palace, how could he act so furtively? Brought to this point by these Immortal Beasts was unacceptable, so he unveiled his form.

Upon seeing Chu Linfeng emerge from the earth, the middle-aged man promptly spoke: "Human, you should be the strongest person to enter this Sky-Spirit Valley in recent years, but you shouldn’t have slain members of my Tiger Elephant Race; perhaps we could have spared you otherwise. But now you must pay the price for your foolish actions."

"Hey, you old undying, you must be their king. If I kill you, they’ll disperse like monkeys from a fallen tree. It’d naturally become easier to slay them. Since I dared come here, why would I fear you? Show what powers you have. If it’s just mere golden lightning bolts, they don’t affect me much," Chu Linfeng replied.

Even as he spoke, a massive purple lightning appeared in his hand, the electric light constantly flashing. The Thunder Transformation power now much stronger, significantly due to his enhanced prowess.

Seeing the purple lightning in Chu Linfeng’s hand, the middle-aged man’s face expressed surprise. "You actually know Thunder Art? Then you cannot be allowed to live. Seems you slaughtered my Tiger Elephant Beasts for the Thunder Pearl within them, likely intending to use it to enhance your own strength!"

"Thunder Pearl?" Chu Linfeng was shocked in his heart, for it was the first time he’d seen these Tiger Elephant Beasts and knew nothing about any Thunder Pearl. However, as he said this, the Thunder Pearl must indeed contain powerful Power of Thunder and Lightning. He needed to obtain it to aid his Thunder Transformation.

"Correct, you’re quite smart to have discerned my real intentions. Today all the Thunder Pearls on your bodies will be mine; I intend to slay you all, erasing your existence from the Immortal Realm," Chu Linfeng declared.

"Boy, you’re looking for death! Let’s all finish him!" The middle-aged man roared immediately...
