Chapter 1829: Chapter 1832: Ancient Times Centipede

A gigantic centipede suddenly flew out from the side, opening its mouth to swallow the ark.

Chu Fengmian looked over and recognized it at a glance.

This gigantic centipede was not a demon beast, but a primordial beast. It inherited an ancient bloodline, with immense power, yet it had not developed consciousness and could not transform into human form.

However, as a primordial beast, the power of this gigantic centipede was much stronger than that of ordinary Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor martial artists.

Even some half-step Heavenly Human Realm martial artists would suffer greatly if they encountered this centipede.

"Such a treasure, this centipede carries the pure primordial beast bloodline. In this era, most primordial beasts are extinct. Even the remnants have impure bloodlines, yet there exists such a pure bloodline primordial beast!"

Chu Fengmian looked at the gigantic centipede with bright eyes.

This centipede had inherited the pure primordial beast bloodline. Though currently only at the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor realm, its brute force was almost comparable to a half-step Heavenly Human Realm.

If Chu Fengmian could subjugate this gigantic centipede and nurture it slightly, it could evolve to the half-step Heavenly Human Realm, equivalent to gaining a half-step Heavenly Human Realm companion.

Moreover, Chu Fengmian noticed that the bloodline of this centipede contained the Space Path. Using it as a mount would be faster than this ark in the endless starry sky.

Since Chu Fengmian encountered such a centipede, he had no reason to let it go.

Bang.

Chu Fengmian appeared, suddenly waved his hand, and condensed Dragon Power into a huge dragon claw, immediately grabbing towards the gigantic centipede.

Boom!

The forces collided instantly. The gigantic centipede was immediately knocked back, but there was not a single scratch on its body.

Even the dragon claw strike that Chu Fengmian launched could not harm it.

"What a hard body! Is this an ancient centipede? The king of centipedes?"

Chu Fengmian saw the gigantic centipede being knocked back but was still unharmed and was somewhat surprised.

The strike he just launched, although not Chu Fengmian’s full power, would still cause trouble and minor injuries to a martial artist like the Five Elements Blade Saint at half-step Heavenly Human Realm.

Yet the gigantic centipede in front was unscathed.

Such a hard body, in Chu Fengmian’s memory, only the king of centipedes, an ancient centipede, could possess.

"Roar!"

The ancient centipede, knocked away by Chu Fengmian’s dragon claw, gave a low growl and turned to flee.

This ancient centipede, though not like a demon god, could develop consciousness but had instincts. Knowing Chu Fengmian’s might, it turned to flee, preparing to escape into the depths of the Fragmented Star Belt.

Once it escaped into the depths of the Fragmented Star Belt, with Chu Fengmian’s unfamiliarity with it, chasing and capturing this ancient centipede would be incredibly difficult.

However, a Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor’s ancient centipede trying to escape from Chu Fengmian is absolutely impossible.

Chu Fengmian condensed Spiritual Power in his palm, a wave of his hand, sealing off the space within a hundred miles around. No matter how the ancient centipede struggled, it could not escape.

"Subjugate for me!"

Chu Fengmian’s figure flashed, moving closer to the ancient centipede, waved his palm, transforming into a dragon claw, pressing heavily onto the ancient centipede’s body.

Even though the ancient centipede’s brute force outweighed half-step Heavenly Human Realm martial artists, before Chu Fengmian’s dragon claw, it was still insignificant, being firmly suppressed.

No matter how it struggled, it could not escape Chu Fengmian’s grasp, only able to give low growls.

Next to him, Princess of the Sea was dumbfounded at the scene.

She had heard that in the Fragmented Star Belt, there was an ancient centipede that was elusive, attacking martial artists near it.

Even several Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperors were swallowed by this ancient centipede, even when the Heavenly Demon Elder was reigning in the Fragmented Star Belt, he couldn’t deal with this ancient centipede.

Yet now, this ancient centipede was suppressed by Chu Fengmian with a wave of his hand.

"Not submitting?"

Meanwhile, Chu Fengmian had condensed Dragon Power to the extreme, pressing on this ancient centipede’s body.

Under such pressure, it was enough to crush the ancient centipede to death, yet it still resisted.

This puzzled Chu Fengmian. Primordial beasts acted on instinct alone, as long as there was enough power, they could be subdued and made to submit.

In ancient times, some powerful figures subdued formidable primordial beasts as mounts or mountain guardians.

So Chu Fengmian intended to subdue this ancient centipede and take it as a mount.

However, the ancient centipede’s resistance was beyond Chu Fengmian’s expectations.

"I must find out what’s peculiar about this ancient centipede!" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

While suppressing the ancient centipede, Chu Fengmian activated his Spiritual Sense to probe inside the ancient centipede’s body.

Though the ancient centipede was merely at the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor level, everything about it was visible under Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Sense.

"Restriction?"

Suddenly, Chu Fengmian saw in the ancient centipede’s head a restriction’s presence.

This ancient centipede was controlled by it, unable to be subdued by Chu Fengmian.

"Has this ancient centipede been subdued by someone?"

Upon seeing the restriction, Chu Fengmian realized that the ancient centipede had already been subdued by someone.

Someone left a restriction in its head, preventing Chu Fengmian from subduing it.

But who could have subdued this ancient centipede?

Don’t be misled by Chu Fengmian’s effortless subjugation of the ancient centipede now, as it’s due to his strength being almost at the peak of half-step Heavenly Human Realm.

Chu Fengmian could easily defeat ordinary half-step Heavenly Human Realm martial artists.

If an ordinary half-step Heavenly Human Realm martial artist like the Five Elements Blade Saint encountered the ancient centipede, the outcome could go either way.

With the ancient centipede’s physique, although it couldn’t defeat half-step Heavenly Human Realm martial artists, subduing it wouldn’t be possible for ordinary ones either.

The person capable of subduing this ancient centipede must be more powerful than the Heavenly Demon Elder.

"No matter who the owner of this ancient centipede is! Since I’ve encountered it, it belongs to me! Small restriction, break for me!"

Chu Fengmian snorted coldly, hesitating no more, gathering Spiritual Power in his palm, and struck down.
