Chapter 580: 580 Confronting the Beasts

Chapter 580 Confronting the Beasts　　The Saint realm aura of the 3 beasts pressured over Alex to bring him down to the ground, but he stood still. 

Their aura was unable to stop him from moving around as most people would be during such a situation.

The beast's aura was strong, but his body was perhaps stronger, simply based on their quality, so even though he couldn't do anything to fight against the beasts themselves, he could fight against their suppression.

He had been suppressed before about 2 weeks ago. The woman named Hao Ya had suppressed him, and even then he had been able to move around and even attack.

Compared to her who felt so very strong, these 3 beasts, they were just…

"Weak!" Alex said with a mocking smile on his face. These beasts weren't as strong as her.

"Who are you?" the jaguar asked. He had been ready to attack the intruder, but he didn't. With their next king on his hands, he needed to be absolutely sure about his attack before he sent it forth.

Given how the enemy wasn't being suppressed at all even though his cultivation base was only at True realms, they held a suspicion that the enemy was hiding his cultivation base.

Alex continued smiling with his lips, while his eyes showed no such emotion. 

"Answer us, Who are you?!" the puma shouted at him.

"Eh? It hasn't even been a month and you've already forgotten me, huh?" Alex asked.

The two beasts turned to look at the puma, wondering if he knew anything about the human.

"Don't look at me. I've never met this human," the puma said while trying to remember if he was forgetting anything.

Less than a month ago… the only human he had seen in this time period was…

Alex's sleeves folded onto his arm, revealing the stub of his left elbow. However, that wasn't what he was showing. 

The sleeves folded a little higher, revealing the cat paw on his upper arm. "Pearl, go inside." 

"Meow!" Pearl said, immediately changing into a bunch of light, disappearing into his beast space.

"You!" the puma finally recognized. 

"Young human, it's you?" the jaguar asked in surprise. He couldn't fathom that the little human that had been thrown out by the puma in a fit of rage was back.

"Yes, it's me," Alex said. "What? You didn't think I'll come back for my brother?" 

"No, no, we wanted you to come back, young human. Brother puma sent you out wrongfully," the Jaguar said with a tone full of remorse.

The leopard just listened to the conversation as it seemed the two others knew the human in front of him.

He had been cultivating in his room until a few moments ago. It had been a couple of years for him since he started cultivating, and maybe a few dozen or maybe even a hundred years on the outside.

He normally wouldn't wake up as that wasn't his job, but recently, he heard too many noises of someone entering the realm, so he had gotten up to check.

Now that he looked at what was happening, he realized he had likely missed a lot of crucial things that he would have to ask about later.

"You wanted me to come back?" Alex asked.

"Of course," the jaguar said. "You're like a brother to the child, and have the White Tiger's blood in you. Of course, we wanted you to come back after the puma's impulsive decision."

The leopard looked to his right in shock. A human with their lord's blood? He really had to ask them next.

"Ho? You wanted me to return? Then did you go out looking for me? You should have known that I could not enter on my own right? You could've easily flown to my city to get me," Alex said as rage built up in his eyes.

"If you did, maybe my master would've still been alive. Did you come?" Alex asked.

"I—" the jaguar didn't know what to say. It was true that they thought that the puma was in the wrong after learning of the situation, but none of them cared enough about the human to fix the wronging. 

They had basically decided to forget about it.

The puma started getting angry, as the blame was going to fall on him once again. So, decided to speak.

"Y—"

"Cease this at once, young human," a voice came from deep within the palace.

The 3 of the beasts immediately stopped speaking a bowed a little. "Lady Ren," they said.

Alex got a little apprehensive as well. After all, Lady Ren was one of the few beings whose upper limit he didn't know yet. He had thought of her to be at the peak of Saint realm when he had first arrived here, however, since then his world had been widened quite a bit.

By now, he was starting to believe that she might not actually be in the saint realm, but a realm further above it. He didn't voice it however as he didn't have any concrete evidence towards it.

"Are you going to stop me from saving Pearl, lady Ren?" Alex asked.

"Saving? He is in no danger here, young human. We are his friends and family, we would do nothing to hurt him," lady Ren said. She wasn't present at the moment, but her voice still carried the majesty that came with having a high cultivation base.

"Oh, then what about the ritual?" Alex asked.

"The ritual is something necessary to bring forth all the latent talent hidden inside the child's bloodline," Lady Ren said.

"What about the fact that the ritual has killed everyone in it? It has killed all of the candidates up until now?" Alex asked.

"That is unfortunate, but that won't happen with Pearl. He has some of the purest bloodlines of the White Tiger. He will surely survive the ritual," Lady Ren said. "I'm his great-grandmother, don't you think that I am worried too? Trust me, he will survive."

"Are you absolutely sure about that? Or is that just your hopes and expectations?" Alex questioned. "Are you absolutely sure that there is no chance Pearl will suffer any fatal damage in there? That just like the other candidates, he too won't die in there? Can you make me a genuine promise of that?"

Alex asked the questions, but he got nothing but silence in response. 

That was the answer he was expecting to hear.

"You call yourself family, but you won't even come out face to face to get your great-grandson back," Alex said.

"I- I am not in a situation where I can come out as I wish to," Lady Ren said.

"I don't need to listen to nonsense anymore. I am leaving now," Alex said.

"No you aren't," the three beasts said at once. While Lady Ren was speaking, they respectfully waited for her to finish speaking.

Now that it looked like she did, and that Alex was about to leave, they finally sprung onto action.

The three beasts were very strong for Alex. A single hit and he would likely die. After all, what was a mere True disciple realm cultivator against Saint beasts?

Just because he could stand against their cultivation aura, didn't mean that he was immediately strong.

So, even as the beasts started to move, Alex started moving before them. He was sure that once he announced to leave, they would come attacking him, so he prepared for it.

Multiple Heaven's impacts flew off from his head towards the saint beasts. Each one of them was hit at least 3 times before Alex stopped.

The three beasts felt a headache coming as soon as they were hit with the mental energy that seemed to give them the sensation that they were burning on the inside.

The disorientation lasted for a couple of seconds, but that was all Alex needed. When they refocused their eyes, they could see the end phase of the ground closing under where Alex previously stood.

'What the hell just happened? What was that burning mental attack?' they all wondered.

They looked around trying to figure out where he had gone to, so they sent out their spiritual sense. 

Before they could even locate Alex, a voice floated into their head. 

"Go! Quickly!" it was an urgent-sounding voice belonging to Lady Ren.

"What's wrong, lady Ren?" the Jaguar asked. He had never heard a more worried voice of her.

"That human, he's found the treasury," she said. Immediately everyone realized what had happened as worry started forming in their hearts as well.

They weren't worried that the human found the treasury and would somehow steal the treasures inside.

No, they were worried that the human had found the treasury and would now die trying to steal the treasure inside.

They weren't worried for Alex, but rather Pearl that was inside his beast space. If Alex were to die, as a bonded beast, Pearl would die with him as well if he was inside him.

They needed to save him fast.

Alex had used the Earth Devouring technique to escape the place. The technique sent you very far away, depending on the density of the user's Qi. 

With Alex's Qi being so dense now, he should have been sent at least a dozen kilometers away, but somehow he was still inside the palace.

Not only that, he was in a dead-end section of the palace with a door blocking his way.

Alex saw a bunch of formations on the door and realized that it was likely a seal.

'What is this place?' he wondered.
