Chapter 142 - 129 People of Trial Road
Rumors had it that during the Primordial Huai era, the Demonic Beasts dominated, a time when the Human Clan waned, and the Demonic Beasts roamed unchecked.
Crocodile dragons and Golden Lions were the true Divine Spirits of the Demon Race in that era, mighty and unparalleled. They had each reigned over the Tiandu Continent for a long stretch of the Primordial Huai era until the Human Clan eventually rose to splendor upon the same lands.
The Scale Armor Golden Lion was a genuine Innate Exotic Beast, coursing with a trace of crocodile dragon and Golden Lion bloodline, inheriting the advantages of both Great Divine Beasts combined into one, possessing extraordinary growth potential.
Because of this, Ye Chen did not wish to kill the Scale Armor Golden Lion. Moreover, on this unfamiliar Trial Road, there was nothing more familiar with it than the native creatures, and such an Exotic Beast commanded more fear and respect from the local Fierce Beasts or Demonic Beasts than he, an outsider, could ever garner, saving him much trouble invisibly.
The Scale Armor Golden Lion roared and bellowed, unwilling by instinct to submit to his feet, fighting fiercely to break free, the very earth trembling in response.
Yet Ye Chen’s face was expressionless. He stamped his foot fiercely, and an unimaginable force acted upon the Scale Armor Golden Lion from above, causing the entire earth to quiver. The Scale Armor Golden Lion’s dark scales burst apart, blood flowing, and one could even faintly hear the sound of bones shattering.
This was the might of the Human Origin Golden Body, a single stomp capable of inflicting heavy damage on an Innate Fifth Rank Mutant Demon Beast, an opponent impossible to contend with by force.
"Submit to me!" Ye Chen said the same words again. Then, the second foot fell, and the ground trembled violently, cracks spreading. The Scale Armor Golden Lion was plunged into a huge pit, its scales shattering in countless pieces, blood running profusely, unable to move.
The Scale Armor Golden Lion wanted to roar and struggle, but it found all efforts futile. The more it struggled, the greater the pain it suffered.
Moreover, the seemingly insignificant human standing above exuded a staggering might, making it instinctively sense a terrifying pressure, infinitely more powerful than itself.
In the end, it instinctively chose to submit, struggling no more.
