Chapter 742: Ancient Ferocious Beast
After Starry Sky Castle Lord Cameron found a clean region atop the mountain’s peak and sat on it, he provided Yang Ling detailed intel about the situation in the various Main Dimensions. He also made speculations about the influence of the extermination of three Great Divine Branches’ armies. He proposed for Yang Ling to form an expeditionary force led by the Golden Roc, Mother Empress and the Poison Dragon King to quickly take over the domain left over by the destroyed Great Divine Branches and fill the power vacuum.
A Wandering Divine Beast and a team of God-level Magical Beasts was enough to deal with all ordinary issues and quickly take over the domain. The crux was that they could still raise the banner of the Magical Beast Divine Branch, which had a Five-clawed Golden Dragon, and they would thwart the attempts of other factions that would try to take over the domains and resources of the three Great Divine Branches.
“Brother Yang Ling, I have to inform you of something before leaving. I got the latest news from the alliance, and our intelligence personnel had already found the Skyreach Towers scattered across various dimensions. They also sought the Abyssal Demon Lord that just came back to the Graveyard of Deities and Demons recently. But…” Starry Sky Castle Lord, Cameron, paused for a moment and muttered to himself irresolutely before he took a meaningful glance at the beautiful Black-horned Demon, Natalie, next to Yang Ling.
“Huh, what do you have to say?” Yang Ling kept his cool and waited calmly for the following words of the Starry Sky Castle Lord, Cameron.
“We have ascertained the position of ten Skyreach Towers other than the one in the Dead Soul Dimension, and this is a specific Magical Map. You should take it.” Cameron looked in appreciation at Yang Ling that kept his cool and chuckled.
During their first meeting, he was still able to discern Yang Ling’s power. But now, he couldn’t see through it any longer. In his eyes, Yang Ling had mysterious power that already resembled a high-level Core Deity.
“The Death Dimension, Life Dimension, Order Dimension… huh? There is even the Abyssal Dimension?”
After Yang Ling rummaged through the Magical Map, he cried and looked in surprise at Black-horned Demon Natalie next to him. He had already tamed her and had her memories, but she was an Ancient Devil God with a long life and her memory was vast. He never had enough time to collect it, and he didn’t expect the distant Abyssal Dimension to also have a Skyreach Tower.
“Lord, Skyreach Tower is our Abyssal Dimension’s forbidden land, and I only know that this region exists there. I’m not aware of its definite location. But Kansas is probably aware of it.” The Black-horned Demon chuckled sheepishly. In the past, she had either traveled with Abyssal Demon Lord Kansas or meditated in seclusion. She didn’t pay attention to the mysterious Skyreach Tower.
“We have dispatched the alliance’s Viper Group, and finding the Skyreach Towers’ location wasn’t difficult for them. But brother Yang Ling, according to the intel in our hands, it’s difficult to enter.” Cameron furrowed his brows and paused for a moment before he said slowly, “After an unforeseen incident occurred in the Chaos Dimension’s Skyreach Tower, every Skyreach Tower is protected by at least two Adjudicators, and they took strict precautions against anyone who will try to trespass. Any person who approaches it will be killed mercilessly.”
Two Adjudicators?
Yang Ling was surprised, and he couldn’t help but shake his head bitterly. At first, he still planned to travel into the Order Dimension with his army after defeating the three Great Divine Branches’ allied armies, and he planned to explore the Skyreach Tower before conquering the City Amongst the Clouds. He didn’t expect this, and he realized that plans changed quickly.
Even after the crowd joined hands, they weren’t able to strand Adjudicator Chris here, and it could be seen from this that the Adjudicators deserved their fame. It wasn’t easy for them to even deal with a single Adjudicator, such as the Blade Emperor, and if two other Adjudicators protected the Skyreach Tower, then the situation would turn for the worse.
“Some time ago, the Abyssal Demon Lord left the Graveyard of Deities and Demons suddenly for an unknown reason, and it’s only recently that our personnel got in contact with him. But…” Starry Sky Castle Lord Cameron looked at Black-horned Demon Natalie next to Yang Ling and hesitated for a moment before he said, “After Abyssal Demon Lord Kansas got news about this, he was very excited but also very angry. Brother Yang Ling, you should be careful. Kansas’s real power isn’t any lower than Adjudicators, and he’s even stronger than them.”
Cameron spoke tactfully for Black-horned Demon Natalie’s sake. As a matter of fact, when Abyssal Demon Lord Kansas learned that Black-horned Demon Natalie became a follower of Yang Ling, he wasn’t just angry. At that time, it was three Vipers that transmitted the message to him, and those three elites of the alliance were almost burned to ashes.
“Lord, it’s all my fault. Once Kansas comes over, I will explain everything to him clearly.” The Black-horned Demon’s eyes were bloodshot and she wore a lovely and pitiful look as she apologized to Yang Ling humbly. Starry Sky Castle Lord Cameron didn’t say much about this, but she was a slick woman and she quickly understood what happened. She knew clearly the temper of the Abyssal Demon Lord, Kansas.
“Natalie, stand up. It’s all right, I’m not afraid. So what are you afraid of?” Yang Ling chuckled. The Abyssal Demon Lord’s anger was clear proof that he cared about Black-horned Demon Natalie so much, and as long as he came over, Yang Ling was confident that he would be able to come up with a way to recruit him into his army.
He was the Abyssal Lord! As long as Abyssal Demon Lord Kansas joined his great army, conquering the City Amongst the Clouds and exploring the Abyssal Dimension’s Skyreach Tower would become easier.
“Brother Yang Ling, the situation has changed. For the time being, don’t travel to the Order Dimension to assassinate the Adjudicator, the Blade Emperor. You should wait until you take total control over the three Great Divine Branches’ domain and increase your power further. You should probably wait until the situation changes again before making a move. You shouldn’t rush to attack!” Starry Sky Castle Lord Cameron warned Yang Ling in a deep voice.
The three Great Divine Branches’ allied armies were wiped out, and the long-browed ancestor, as well as the Lich King, were killed on the spot. Even Adjudicator Chris sustained serious injuries and almost lost his life. Everything demonstrated that the Magical Beast Divine Branch deserved the alliance’s full support, and they didn’t have to assassinate the Order Dimension’s Adjudicator, the Blade Emperor, to prove it.
“Understood, thanks for your warning. But…” Yang Ling sneered coldly and said, “I must go to the Order Dimension, and I must still kill the Blade Emperor. I will do so sooner or later.”
They were both clever people, and they didn’t have to state some matters bluntly. Yang Ling understood Cameron’s implication, but he still had to visit the Order Dimension to explore Skyreach Tower and conquer the City Amongst the Clouds. However, he would still carry out another secluded session as a precaution, and he would try to become a mid-level Wizard Deity before carrying out the operation.
After he devoured the Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, he detected that he was close to becoming a mid-level Wizard Deity. But he might still take several years or dozens of years to achieve it. However, Yang Ling didn’t mind waiting a few more years to chop off the head of the City Amongst the Clouds’ Lord with a single strike.
“Fine, Brother Yang Ling. When you decide to take action, you shouldn’t forget to notify me in advance. I’m an elder of the alliance, and I haven’t fought in a long time. My blade has even grown rusty, but I can probably provide some help to you.” Cameron chuckled and gave them some instructions before he left with his subordinates. He went back quickly to the distant Starry Sky Castle.
“Rodriguez, issue orders to the Golden Roc, Mother Empress and the Poison Dragon King. Order them to rush over immediately after handling their affairs. From today onward, everyone other than the patrol team should seize the time to practice.” After Yang Ling saw off the team of Starry Sky Castle Lord Cameron with his gaze, he issued orders in a deep voice. Soon after, he jumped into the Great Wizard Altar and sat cross-legged on it. He read the Skyreach Wizard Mantra in silence and devoured the Soul Energy on the battlefield that hadn’t dissipated yet.
Swoosh!
Many departed souls turned into black wisps due to the Soul Tampering Wizard Spell. Those wisps converged from all directions, and they seeped into Yang Ling’s body. Yang Ling’s tremendous Soul Energy was increased further. There were so many departed souls, but it was a pity that they would still be completely exhausted and absorbed sooner or later.
“What should be done? How can Increase my power in the shortest time possible?”
Yang Ling looked at the boundless starry sky and muttered to himself. He had already reached the low-level Wizard Deity Stage, and it wasn’t possible for him to quickly advance to the mid-level Wizard Deity Stage through absorbing Worldly Spiritual Qi and Starlight Energy. Devouring ordinary God-level Experts and Magical Beasts’ souls wasn’t very effective for him. Devouring the soul of an expert at the level of the Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, was wonderful, but it was a pity that such souls could only be met by chance.
“There are many ferocious beasts’ souls sealed in the Soul Assimilating Restriction Spell on the sixth floor of the Great Wizard Pagoda. If I devour their energy, won’t I…” As Yang Ling thought about the process of devouring the Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, he couldn’t help but think about the numerous ferocious beasts’ souls sealed within the Soul Assimilating Restriction Spell, and he suddenly had an idea.
There were many ancient ferocious beasts sealed within the Soul Assimilating Restriction Spell, and every beast emitted a terrifying aura. They had at least a Wandering Divine Beast’s power. If he could come up with a way to fuse with their souls, then he would be able to greatly increase his Soul Energy in a short time and break through his bottleneck. Even the Corpse Wizard King, Golden Roc and his other followers might benefit from this. After the growth of his power, he might be able to help the Dark Dragon King, Ophilia and the others gain the power of a Dimensional Wanderer.
There was no time to lose! Yang Ling quickly entered the Wizard Pagoda’s Space and rushed to the sixth floor of the Great Wizard Pagoda that had the Soul Assimilating Restriction Spell.
Roar!
Those beasts might have detected Yang Ling’s arrival, and this was why the black gas in the Soul Assimilating Restriction Spell started churning and many muffled and sonorous roars echoed out from it. The frightening auras of the Ancient Beasts also spread far and wide, and they enveloped the whole Wizard Pagoda’s Space.
“This is a trial. So I must start with the weakest beast.”
After Yang Ling spread out his Divine Knowledge, he quickly found a target. He read the Wizard Mantra in silence and continuously weaved hand signs. He forcefully took out the soul of a ferocious beast, which was imprisoned here for so many years.
According to the obelisk’s explanation, every six-eyed light fox had six large eyes that emitted an eerie light. They were adept at long-range attacks, and their green light beams couldn’t just melt hard armor, they could also attack enemies’ souls. Their attacks were similar to the Soul Wizard Spell, the Soul Assimilating Light Ray, and they had great might.
“A six-eyed light fox, this creature’s attack isn’t any different than the Evil Eye Tyrant. A long time has already passed, and it’s time for the Evil Eye Tyrant to advance,” Yang Ling muttered to himself. He quickly selected the trial’s target. Soon after, he left the Great Wizard Pagoda and called over the Evil Eye Tyrant that was practicing.
“Lord, this is…” The Evil Eye Tyrant looked in shock and confusion at the illusory shadow in Yang Ling’s hands that emitted a terrifying aura. He couldn’t understand why Yang Ling summoned him so suddenly.
“This is part of a Soul Wizard Spell. Hurry up and sit cross-legged,” Yang Ling issued an order in a deep voice and taught the Evil Eye Tyrant a part of the Soul Hampering Wizard Spell. He also taught him the way to refine and absorb souls into his body. The Evil Eye Tyrant was delighted by this. He understood that the day he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
