Rise of the Demon God

Chapter 268 - 268: New Beast



As he was flying, he did face a few flying beasts that attacked him out of nowhere. Fortunately, these were just initial Earth Realm beasts thus he didn't have much trouble.

"The Beast Hall is kinda amazing. I never expected to see so many varieties of beasts inside."   

His Qi was getting depleted, thus he decided to travel through the foot.

He was walking through the dense forest when he noticed a 9th stage Earth Realm beast running towards him.

Long Chen recognized that beast as a Dark Horned Armored Rhino. The dark beast was quite fierce and known for his impenetrable defense and incredible strength.

It was known as one of the most dangerous beasts as it was able to defeat a cultivator that was a few realms higher than him. 

Long Chen brought out his King's sword as he teleported near the dark horned armored rhino.

Long Chen swung his sword at the rhino.

*Clank*

The sword struck the steel-like armor of the rhino and a metallic sound was heard.

The sword did manage to cut through the rhino's skin, but the wound wasn't too deep.

"Your defense is quite good." Long Chen muttered as he jumped back and dodged the attack of the Dark Horned Armored Rhino.

The rhino roared in anger as he ran towards Long Chen.

Long Chen was ready to dodge the attack, but he felt like his feet were frozen.

He noticed the blood-red eyes of the rhino that were looking at him without blinking as he ran.

Long Chen again used teleport as he appeared behind the rhino.

He could finally feel like he was free to move.

"That must be his skill, It can bind me to a place. Quite an incredible skill... but it won't save you. " Long Chen muttered as he used teleport once more and appeared on top of the rhino.

He had just managed to plunge his sword inside the rhino, but before he could thrust it deeper, Its skin started burning. Long Chen reacted fast and immediately jumped off the rhino, leaving his sword behind.

He was stunned to see that the dark horned armored rhino was like a beast covered in flame as it ran towards Long Chen.

"Interesting... I don't think I've heard about a dark horned armored rhino possessing this ability. It must be because you have a mixed bloodline." Long Chen fell on deep thoughts.

" Heavenly Demon Wings! " Long Chen muttered 

"Let's try something new then." He muttered softly as he gazed towards the sky.

He slowly raised his hand towards the sky.

"Thunder... Blade" He muttered softly.

Long Chen was able to see the sky getting dark as it was covered by clouds. The light started flickering amidst the clouds. Everyone was able to hear the loud roar of the thunder.

A thunderbolt left the clouds and came down like the punishment from heaven.

The thunderbolt was a natural force, thus it easily passed through the barrier and entered the beast forest.

The thunderbolt fell on the handle of the King's Sword and through the blade of the sword, that was plunged into the dark horned armored rhino, it penetrated into the rhino's body.

The powerful shock coursed through the rhino's body that made it roar in pain.

It didn't stop at one... Another thunderbolt left the clouds and struck the sword. One after another, 5 thunderbolts fell on the sword and penetrated the Dark Horned Armored Rhino's body.

The Dark Horned Armored Rhino fell to the ground. Its body was completely paralyzed and its heartbeat was weak. It was as if it would die at any moment.

Long Chen came down to the ground as his wings disappeared.

He looked quite tired and most of his Qi was depleted as he used Thunder Blade so many times.

He breathed for a moment before he stepped towards the Dark Horned Armored Rhino. 

"I can't help but praise you. You are still alive even after facing so much. Your strength and your determination, they are all praiseworthy. " Long Chen stood in front of the Dark Horned Armored Rhino as he spoke.

"Looking at your condition, I don't think you will live longer. How about you become my tamed beast? You will be completely healed. I really like your character. We can face the world together if you join me. Isn't it better than dying?" Long Chen said in a caring tone. He walked forward and pulled his sword out of the Rhino.

" I'm going to go forward and do it. What happens next, depends on you." Long Chen said as he cut his finger slightly from the same sword.

His finger was bleeding.

He extended his hand towards the Dark Horned Armored Rhino's forehead and carved a pattern, with his blood, that was taught to him by Xun.

The Dark Horned Armored Rhino just gazed at Long Chen's face. It didn't look like it was resisting.

The Dark Horned Armored Rhino's body started shining brightly. It shone for around 10 minutes, which was much longer than it took for Cati.

Long Chen couldn't help but wonder if something was wrong.

Just as he was about to call Xun to ask her, the Dark Horned Armored Rhino stopped shining. 

The Dark Horned Armored Rhino came into view and just as Long Chen had expected, its wounds were healed.

The Dark Horned Armored Rhino looked much better than before. It's armored skin looked even more powerful compared to previously. Long Chen couldn't help but wonder how strong it must be now.

He was still looking at him when he felt like a link was established between him.

A few memories appeared in his mind that belonged to the Dark Horned Armored Rhino.

"Strange... You have no memories of your parents or your young life. Your memories begin in this forest. Before that everything was blank. That's quite strange. " Long Chen muttered as he looked at the beast in confusion.

"Anyways, Let's give you a name." He muttered as a smile appeared on his face.
