Chapter 477: The Aristocrat Among Ancient Beasts

"You're the one..." Lin Fan looked at the middle head of the three-headed giant king, the most ferocious one, presumably the strongest, and decided to strike it first.

If he could knock out just one head and render the three-headed giant king completely unconscious, that would be a win.

And if it woke up, no matter, at least one head would be taken care of.

"Here I go..."

Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!

The Ninety-Five Red Brick in Lin Fan's hand was wielded with divine skill; as he struck, the void itself yielded, without a whisper of wind.

Smack!

Got it.

Lin Fan felt a surge of joy, but at that moment, the sleeping three-headed giant king suddenly opened its eyes. The heavy eyelids snapped open, golden pupils surveying the world with disdain, and a sharp light burst forth.

Roar!

The three-headed giant king, enraged that someone dared disturb its slumber, rose in fury with a ferocious roar.

The violent sound swept across the land, and the surrounding giant ancient trees tilted and collapsed under the roar.

"Damn, that's fierce." Lin Fan's heart trembled at the sight. The ancient beasts of the Azure Heaven rank were truly extraordinary; even Void Heart would not return if he encountered one.

The tremendous roar startled the resting "Justice Squad."

Xia Zehua shuddered. The aura contained in that roar was overwhelming, clearly from a formidable ancient beast.

"Get up, enemy attack."

The earth-shaking roar, as if exploding right in their ears, made Xia Zehua tense up.

"What's going on..." Mu Liang, who had been dreaming of playing with his clan, jolted awake. Hearing "enemy attack," he immediately drew his weapon, ready for battle.

"Huh, where's the enemy?"

Everyone looked around; everything was quiet, not like there was an enemy.

Roar!

At that moment, they heard a rumbling sound from afar and saw towering ancient trees crashing down. They were bewildered, unsure of what was happening.

"Where's Brother Lin?"

"Could he be over there?"

Xia Zehua pondered for a moment, then waved his hand. "Follow me..."

...

Now, Lin Fan looked at the ancient beast before him, not expecting the Azure Heaven rank three-headed giant king to be so troublesome.

He had thought that with one of its heads knocked out, its combat power would be greatly reduced, but now he realized things weren't as he imagined.

The three-headed giant king's massive front claw slammed down, leaving five claw marks in the void, as if tearing it apart.

Lin Fan quickly retreated, shaking his arm.

After a hard clash with the three-headed giant king, his arm holding the Eternal Axe was now aching.

Each blow was immensely powerful, like heaven and earth splitting apart.

Azure Heaven rank mid-tier, truly not to be underestimated.

The three-headed giant king patted its drooping head with its huge claws, looking puzzled—why was its head completely numb?

Pat, pat!

It patted again, no sensation. The remaining two heads extended their tongues and licked it, still no feeling.

Roar!

Roaring in fury, the three-headed giant king fixed its gaze on the creature before it. This numb head must be its doing.

Despicable, utterly despicable.

Lin Fan looked at the three-headed giant king and chuckled, "Three-headed freak, stop licking. Hit by my brick, you'll be dormant for a minute. Even if the sky falls, you won't lift that head."

Now Lin Fan had to seize this time to slay the three-headed giant king. Even with one head knocked out, it was still so fierce; if that head woke up, it would be unstoppable.

The three-headed giant king roared repeatedly, its two front claws slammed the ground, causing cracks to spread like a web.

Whoosh!

"Huh?" Suddenly, the three-headed giant king vanished before Lin Fan.

Such speed made Lin Fan's expression turn serious, and he grew cautious.

This three-headed giant king was fast—not through void crossing, but purely physical speed.

At that moment, a dangerous aura appeared before Lin Fan. The towering figure of the three-headed giant king materialized instantly, a claw swiping down.

"Damn, so fierce." Lin Fan reacted immediately, swinging his axe to meet it.

Boom!

A tremendous force exploded with Lin Fan at the center. The hard ground of the Ancient Saint Realm sank sharply, forming a deep pit.

Just as Lin Fan prepared to counter, a claw struck from the side.

"Not good..." Lin Fan was alarmed.

"Eternal Indestructibility."

At that moment, Lin Fan could only endure. His slender body erupted with a light like glass.

Bang!

Pfft...

Lin Fan took the claw from the three-headed giant king. Five cracks appeared on his body, and blood gushed out.

Dozens of zhang away, Lin Fan steadied himself, watching the three-headed giant king warily.

"Careless. I didn't expect an Azure Heaven rank mid-tier ancient beast to be so strong. I was too arrogant." Lin Fan wiped the blood from his mouth. The Blood Sea Demon Art activated automatically.

The spilled blood flowed back, and the five vicious wounds healed on their own.

"Ding, congratulations, Eternal Indestructibility gains 1000 experience."

"Good one. I didn't expect you to catch me off guard. Among beasts, you can be proud." Even in the Primordial Yellow Realm, no beast had ever beaten him like this. But in the Ancient Saint Realm, he had met his match.

Given the development trend of ancient beasts, Lin Fan had to believe that among them could exist beings like ancient great demons.

The gap between Azure Heaven rank mid-tier and early tier was enormous.

"Seems I underestimated you." Lin Fan, at the Earth Heaven rank Great Perfection, had killed Void Heart, an Azure Heaven rank early tier. Crossing a major realm had made him confident, but now he had to admit that ancient beasts were stronger than those races.

Roar!

The three-headed giant king roared at Lin Fan, its haughty demeanor as if mocking him, mocking this human for overestimating himself.

"Ha..." At this moment, Lin Fan's battle intent blazed. "Three-headed freak, don't get too cocky. I was just careless. I'll show you what true terror is."

Then, Lin Fan heard sounds around him and felt a bit helpless. It seemed he had alerted them after all.

Xia Zehua and the others saw Lin Fan from afar. When they arrived and saw the three-headed ancient beast, they gasped.

"Three-headed giant king!"

"Brother Lin, be careful! The three-headed giant king is of the royal bloodline among ancient beasts, much stronger than other beasts of the same rank." Xia Zehua shouted in alarm.

"Got it. Don't come over. I have to fight this beast." Lin Fan kept his eyes on the three-headed giant king as he spoke to the others.

Now Lin Fan understood: it wasn't that ancient beasts were strong, but that he had encountered an elite monster.

An upper-tier bloodline among ancient beasts.

It seemed there was still much he didn't know.
