Chapter 1155 - Third-Level Heaven Profound Realm
The arena fell silent again—a calm before the storm.
With a slow, grating creak, another stone door opened, its harsh creaking echoed through the air, tightening the tension in the stands until every spectator held their breath.
A moment later, a violent wave of demonic energy swept across the arena.
"Silverthunder Ant Beast!" gasps and shouts erupted from the crowd.
Native to Anlu Star, this astral beast was a natural-born warrior. It stood three meters tall, its six limbs forming an imposing, spiderlike stance, but its two massive front claws made it genuinely terrifying.
Each one gleamed with a razor-edge sharp enough to slice even a Transcendent Realm cultivator in half if they were careless.
The guards went to great lengths to capture it and paid a steep price when the beast's claws tore one of them apart.
The moment it stepped into the open, its demonic energy shot skyward. The blood-soaked scent of the arena further provoked it, and it roared in fury, gouging deep furrows in the ground with its claws.
Then, without hesitation, it charged straight toward Liu Wuxie.
"Milord, we didn't feed the Silverthunder Ant Beast last night as you instructed. It must be starving mad now; that brat is dead," Liu An whispered.
He deliberately starved the beast to make it even more vicious for today's fight. A hungry astral beast was dangerous beyond measure.
Liu Wuxie's gaze hardened as he gripped the iron blade, his only available weapon. He could summon the Heretic Blade, but doing so would reveal the secret of the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron. If Yu Wentai learned of it, Liu Wuxie would be the first to die.
