Chapter 1762: Chapter 617_2

There was no doubt, given the situation at the ti, that if Zhou Tian had set his sights on that divine weapon, it was unlikely any deity would step forward to compete with him for it.

However, while there wouldn’t be any deity openly vying with Zhou Tian for that divine weapon, obtaining it outright was far from easy. After all, if that weapon were so easily acquired, the deity responsible for it wouldn’t have been sealed away for such a long ti.

Thus, although it appeared that Zhou Tian could simply walk up and take the weapon, the reality was that trouble inevitably arose as Zhou Tian approached the divine weapon.

An unexpected yet reasonable occurrence: regardless of the divine weapon’s unique characteristics, the fact that it was crucial to the deity’s escape ant that the deity who arranged the jungle had undoubtedly anticipated a situation like today. As such, although it seed Zhou Tian could simply pull the weapon out, the mont he truly attempted to do so, trouble was bound to follow.

“Roar!”

Just like in any ga, when the player attempts to claim a treasure or mission-critical item, they unavoidably encounter a “guardian beast.” In this case, as Zhou Tian prepared to draw the weapon, if the deity behind its placent had planned accordingly, Zhou Tian would undoubtedly face the guardian beast stationed near its position.

With a thunderous roar, as Zhou Tian heard the sound and moved to defend himself, he imdiately saw a blood-colored ferocious beast, towering nearly one hundred ters high, suddenly materialize before the divine weapon. In the instant the beast took form, as its roar subsided, it charged directly at Zhou Tian and swung a claw toward him.

Though the attack had yet to land, Zhou Tian imdiately felt a powerful killing intent envelop his body. Under its influence, Zhou Tian’s movents even stiffened slightly.

There was no doubt that Zhou Tian was affected by the killing intent—a fact that warranted his utmost attention, no matter how one assessed the situation.

Given Zhou Tian’s strength, the re ability to influence him underscored the intensity of the killing intent. Zhou Tian had faced many battles before; he was no stranger to killing intent. After growing stronger, no enemy had been able to sway him through sheer killing intent alone.

While it was true that the Divine Realm far surpassed the Lower Realm, it didn’t necessarily an that deities in the Divine Realm could easily leverage their killing intent to affect Zhou Tian. In fact, the deities Zhou Tian had encountered thus far often lacked significant combat experience, and he doubted any of them had truly potent killing intent.

Thus, it was clear: regardless of how this blood-colored beast had co into being, whoever created it was undoubtedly a god of slaughter. Unless they had killed countless living beings beyond asure, Zhou Tian couldn’t believe any deity could possess such overwhelming killing intent naturally.

Still, regardless of how the beast ca to exist or how intense its killing intent was, Zhou Tian sensed one thing clearly in that mont: the beast’s target was him. If he wanted to avoid dying at its hands, he couldn’t afford to simply stand by and let its attack land.

Thus, while Zhou Tian was briefly affected by the killing intent, he quickly broke free from its grip. The mont he escaped its influence, Zhou Tian imdiately chose to evade the attack.

Utilizing his mastery of ti rules, Zhou Tian forcibly slowed the beast’s movents. Before its strike could land, Zhou Tian swiftly dodged out of harm’s way.

However, while Zhou Tian had successfully escaped the beast’s initial attack using his abilities, avoiding one strike didn’t an the blood-colored beast would abandon its assault. Just as Zhou Tian evaded the first wave of attacks, the beast promptly launched a second.

The beast resembled a lion in form, but its tail bore a poisonous snake. As Zhou Tian dodged its claw swipe, the lion itself didn’t act further, but the poisonous snake tail opened its maw wide and lunged to bite Zhou Tian.

Given the size of the beast, despite resembling a snake, if Zhou Tian were actually bitten, poisoning wouldn’t even be a concern. Based on their respective sizes, Zhou Tian would almost certainly be swallowed whole by the serpent instead.

Undoubtedly, Zhou Tian wasn’t about to allow such a fate to befall him. Thus, as before, when faced with the beast’s next attack, although he still didn’t fully understand its nature, he nonetheless relied on his abilities and evaded its strike in the nick of ti.
