Chapter 2218. Immortal Sacred Ground

Seeing such a massive rat, the Taisui White Tiger was the first to develop a keen interest, his gaze sharp with fighting spirit, as though ready to battle the Gold-Munching Mouse King at any moment.

"Xiao Bai, relax — he's one of us," Jiang Chen scolded with a smile.

Xiao Bai licked his lips with a grin. "This big rat is rather interesting. He's really got me itching for a fight."

Xiao Bai was frustrated these days. Among the four divine beast bloodlines, he was the youngest, and his combat strength was relatively the weakest. He'd been itching for a proper fight, but could never find a suitable opponent.

Now, seeing the Gold-Munching Mouse King — he seemed slightly weaker, but not by much. That set Xiao Bai's mind racing.

The Gold-Munching Mouse King put on a pained expression. "The Taisui White Tiger bloodline is invincible in direct combat. Surely you won't bully our Gold-Munching Mouse clan?"

Hearing this, Xiao Bai deflated like a punctured balloon. "All that size for nothing — turns out he's a coward. Looks like this fight is off."

Jiang Chen laughed. "All right, let me make introductions. This is the Gold-Munching Mouse King — everyone can call him Old Jin. The Gold-Munching Mouse clan are descendants of the ancient Gold-Munching King Mouse. The Gold-Munching King Mouse lineage devours across the Myriad Heavens Planes — no race dares to provoke them. Individually, they aren't particularly strong, but their greatest advantage is their numbers and their breeding speed. They overwhelm through sheer quantity."

Gold-Munching King Mouse!

In the inherited memories of the four great divine beast true spirits, the legacy of the Gold-Munching King Mouse was well known. Each of their expressions carried a hint of unease.

Without question, none of them wanted to provoke the Gold-Munching Mouse clan either.

If the Gold-Munching Mouse clan were descendants of the Gold-Munching King Mouse, that meant they had the potential to evolve into Gold-Munching King Mice. Ancestral bloodline regression wasn't entirely impossible.

"Old Jin, I trust the four divine beast true spirits are no strangers to you?"

The Gold-Munching Mouse King was always a slippery one, and he chuckled. "The four divine beast true spirits have always held noble bloodlines — I've long admired you all. You've all been following Chen Shao, so I hope you'll look after me in the future."

The Vermilion Bird Divine Bird looked at the Gold-Munching Mouse King with a pleasant smile. "Old Jin, how many descendants do you have now?"

The Gold-Munching Mouse King thought for a moment, putting on a casual air. "Give or take — only about three or four billion descendants."

The Vermilion Bird's smile froze, but he quickly recovered. "Chen Shao, now I understand what you meant by your trump card."

The Black Tortoise Divine Beast was also visibly moved. "Legend has it that the Gold-Munching King Mouse lineage devours across the Myriad Heavens Planes, consuming everything in existence — they gnaw through anything, no matter how hard. Even the most formidable metals in the world can be devoured as food, without exception?"

"Exactly," Jiang Chen said with a smile. "Old Jin, I'm heading to the Immortal Sacred Ground shortly. I may have to fight the Gold Demon lineage. It's a great opportunity, but also a trial. After this battle, perhaps more than half the Gold-Munching Mouse lineage will fall — but those who survive will see their strength and realm advance dramatically. The Gold Demon lineage's flesh is comparable to metal and stone, making them the greatest nourishment for your kind. Are you interested?"

The Gold-Munching Mouse King's narrow eyes widened suddenly, revealing an expression of deep longing.

The Gold-Munching Mouse clan had never feared casualties. Their reproductive ability was extraordinary — what they feared most was the lack of opportunity, the lack of chances to elevate their bloodline.

Whenever such an opportunity arose, the Gold-Munching Mouse clan would charge forward without hesitation.

Because every elevation meant a transformation, an evolution for the entire clan.

Ever since the Gold-Munching Mouse clan had met Jiang Chen, they had undergone transformation after transformation. Their combat strength had increased at least a hundredfold.
