Lord of the Magical Beasts

Creak…

A blast of air swept quickly toward the Evil Demon Leader. It pierced through the air like a guided missile, bringing along multiple Space Cracks and heavy airwaves. It was incredibly fast, arriving at the front of the Evil Demon Leader in an instant like the scythe of the God of Death.

At the crucial moment, the Corpse Wizard King, who had been ready to go, unleashed the Demon God Battle Formation, instantly layering on the Soul Energy of Ophilia, the Dark Dragon King, and the rest of the group as he released an extremely powerful Death Ripple!

It was a Death Ripple that even Yang Ling, who was a Great Soul Wizard, did not dare to take head-on!

“Not good, retreat, quick!”

The pupils of the Evil Demon Leader Cristo dilated, as he issued a terse order while retreating quickly. While he was extremely fast, he was unfortunately still one step too late. The wave-like Death Ripple entered his body without any obstacles, directly attacking his soul with an attack that made him feel like he had been stabbed by multiple sharp daggers.

Ah…

The Evil Demon Leader grabbed his head and let out a pathetic wail, instantly feeling intense pain in his head. His consciousness was hazy. It was as if he had been hit on his head by a heavy hammer. As an Evil Demon Leader who had abilities at the peak of High-level Deity, his Soul Defenses was much stronger than that of an average Evil Demon. Even a powerful fighter who specializes in using Soul Attacks would not be able to instantly penetrate his Soul Defenses. He did not expect his Soul Defenses to be akin to a sheet of paper in front of the Corpse Wizard King’s Death Ripple!

After the Corpse Demon King advanced to become a High-level Deity, he finally managed to unleash the terrifying offensive capabilities of the Death Horn, the legendary Core Divine Weapon of the Undead! Coupled with the Soul Energy of Ophilia, the Dark Dragon King and the rest of the group that had been layered onto the attack using the Demon God Battle Formation, the offensive power of the attack had been increased several times!

The attack has redoubled power!

“Sir, Sir…”

“Quick, charge forward and save the leader, quick!”

…

Seeing the trembling body of their leader seemingly about to fall, the rest of the Abyssal Demons were both alarmed and furious. They roared loudly, gliding through the air at blinding speeds as they attempted to save their leader before rapidly escaping.

“Hehehe, I love the fresh blood of Evil Demons!” After landing his first attack, the Corpse Wizard King let out a loud cackle and once again released a bolt of Death Ripple, surrounding the four Abyssal Demons that had charged forward.

“Ah… Bastard, I am going to kill you!” The Evil Demon Leader roared loudly, fighting back the intense pain as he charged toward the Corpse Wizard King. He was furious, wanting desperately to cleave the Corpse Wizard King into two. His giant scythe sliced down through the air, its blade aura expanding as it surged toward the Corpse Wizard King.

“Moon Blade!”

The Corpse Wizard King, who was not adept at close combat, quickly retreated while Blood Angel Ophilia charged forward with her giant blade. She arrived in front of the Evil Demon Leader with a single flap of all four of her wings. She pushed off his giant scythe that was enveloped in a huge blade aura, then followed through with the momentum and brought her blade toward his neck.

“City Amongst the Clouds…you are the Battle Angels from the City Amongst the Clouds?” Seeing Ophilia’s cold, merciless eyes and looking at the pure white wings behind her back, the Evil Demon Leader, Cristo, became incredibly alarmed. He retreated decisively, having no choice but to give up on his pursuit of the Corpse Wizard King!

The City Amongst the Clouds had a massive influence, and its battle squad of Great Twelve-winged Angels were notorious within the many major dimensions. If even the City Amongst the Clouds had come to the Moon River and were going to participate in the action, then their operations this time around would be in trouble! He had to relay this alarming piece of news back quickly no matter what so that the lord could make his preparations as early as possible.

“You are dead meat; you can’t run!”

The Evil Demon Leader had just turned around and had not taken a few steps when a giant dark figure descended from the sky, pressing down on him like a mountain. Giant, sharp claws reached the top of his head in the blink of an eye, accompanied by pressure only present in the Dragon Realm!

The Dark Dragon King, who had advanced to become a High-level Deity, had descended from the sky. After instantly layering on the strength of the group, both his speed and power had increased significantly. The pressure of the Dragon Realm also increased correspondingly, greatly limiting the speed and power of the Evil Demons and the Evil Demon Leader, who was at the front taking the full brunt of the effects.

Whoosh…

Ophilia was in hot pursuit with her giant blade in hand, while the Giant Ape King and the Dark Dragon King also pounced forward in unison. The Corpse Wizard King also turned around to join the offense. In an instant, the Demon God Battle Formation formed by all five of them unleashed a fierce torrent of attacks on the Evil Demon Leader, whose soul was already injured. Together, they expertly blocked off his path of retreat.

Thud…

After a string of dull thuds, the Evil Demon Leader was killed by the combined efforts of the group. His head was sliced off by Ophilia, his divinity was dug out by the Dark Dragon King and his body was scorched to a crisp by the Burning Fire Elf King.

It was only a matter of seconds from when the Evil Demon Leader got hit by the Corpse Wizard King’s surprise attack to when he was killed. The rest of the Abyssal Demons had just accelerated forward and did not have the time to take action when the Evil Demon Leader, who had been surrounded and attacked by the group, was dismembered.

He had died with indignance!

“Sir, Sir…”

“Leave, leave quickly!”

…

Seeing the Evil Demon Leader get dismembered, the eyes of the rest of the Abyssal Demons turned red in fury, all of them wanting desperately to personally tear their enemies to shreds. However, after looking at the Corpse Wizard King and the rest of the group, who had a red light protecting their bodies after unleashing the Demon God Battle Formation, they had no choice but to leave quickly.

They knew that if even their leader who had abilities at the peak of a High-level Deity was not a match, then they would not be able to beat their enemies even if they attacked in unison. They made the wise choice of retreating. They roared loudly as they retreated, urgently summoning the Abyssal Demons patrolling within the radius of a thousand miles.

“Don’t let any of them go, chase!” The Corpse Wizard King lowered his voice and gave an order, leading the group in quickly giving chase. Them being close to the Moon River meant that there were more Abyssal Demons patrolling the area. He did not wish to be surrounded by a large number of Evil Demons, nor was he willing to be the target of a relentless pursuit once again.

Whoosh…

The Abyssal Demons were incredibly fast, but after taking turns to layer on their strengths, the Corpse Wizard King, Ophilia and the rest of the group erupted with alarming speeds within a short span of time. They caught up to the Abyssal Demons that were retreating in a fluster in the blink of an eye. The outcome was clear. They soon obtained the divinities of the rest of the Abyssal Demons.

“Hehe, one divinity for each of us, how perfect!”

“There are many Evil Demons in the Graveyard of Deities and Demons. After this, we should have no problem obtaining a dozen, if not several dozen divinities a day!”

…

After succeeding in their first battle and successfully killing off a team of Abyssal Demons, the Dark Dragon King, Giant Ape King and the rest of the group were incredibly excited when they saw the divinities in their hands. They anticipated their advancement to the next level. They had managed to unleash such powerful battle prowess with just the five of them, even though they only had a preliminary grasp on the Demon God Battle Formation. How powerful would they become after they understood the higher-order applications of the Demon God Battle Formation and the scale of the Divine-level Magical Beast Army got larger?

“Slow, your speed is still too slow, you should have killed them in one stroke and never let them have the chance to react. Otherwise, it might be your turn to lie on the ground if you encounter an even more powerful Evil Demon Leader!” Yang Ling poured a bucket of cold water over the excited group, quickly tampering with the souls of the Abyssal Demons and obtaining their memories.

Throughout the battle, he had been sitting motionless on the Flying Dragon, calmly observing the situation. The Corpse Wizard King and the rest of the group received a huge boost in defense after getting into formation, but they had more to improve on when it came to offense. They had to be able to kill in one hit as their enemies got stronger, not leaving the other party with any room to react.

“What the Lord says is right, we do have to further improve on our coordination. We still have not displayed the true might of the Demon God Battle Formation!” Blood Angel Ophilia nodded. Out of the five of them, she had the greatest understanding of the Demon God Battle Formation. Even the Corpse Wizard King had to admit that he paled in comparison.

“Hehehe, no problem, we’ll become more practiced after we kill a few more teams of Evil Demons!” The Corpse Wizard King cackled loudly, gathering all of the divinities in the group’s hands without holding back. He then picked up the giant scythes left behind by the Evil demons and took out a bottle of Rotting Corpse Powder from his Space Ring. He poured it evenly on the corpses of the Evil Demons, erasing the evidence!

Creak…

After a wave of putrid stench, the corpses of the Evil Demons quickly dissolved into a pool of yellow liquid, seeping into the group before vanishing, leaving no traces behind. The Corpse Wizard King had done many similar things back in the Dimension of Death and was more familiar with how to destroy a corpse than anyone.

Their souls had been tampered with by Yang Ling, and their bodies had been reduced to a pool of yellow liquid under the ground. In this case, the Abyssal Demons who will come here afterwards would not be able to find any useful clues, no matter how powerful they were!

“There’s a lake several thousand miles away with several Divine-level Magical Beasts roaming the area. Let’s go over and take a look at the situation!” Yang Ling quickly understood the specific terrain around him through the memories of the Evil Demons, riding on his Flying Dragon as he left quickly.

Without the Gold-robed Warriors holding them back, the group moved quickly. They could continuously swap out the Flying Dragons they were riding on or directly fly in the air. They would have no problem rushing to the Moon River in a month. In order to seize the time and head toward the Moon River, Yang Ling was not going to put all his effort into searching and capturing Divine-level Magical Beasts for the time being. But he would naturally not miss the opportunity to capture the Magical Beasts if he encountered suitable Divine-level Magical Beasts along the way!

“Lord, Divine-level Magical Beasts tend to appear in groups, just us alone might make things a little difficult. Do you think… Should we summon the entire Magical Beast Army?” The Corpse Wizard King pat on the Flying Dragon he was riding on, speaking as he quickly caught up to Yang Ling who was leading the way.

“Rodriguez, the Divine-level Magical Beasts are very powerful, but why do we have to take them head-on?” Thinking about the wily dwarves, remembering the scene back in the wanderers’ campsite, Yang Ling smiled. “After killing the dwarves in the campsite, we found a large number of Magical Beast Eggs in their Space Rings and could incubate them in the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. Unfortunately, they were a little lacking in numbers. How many little Magical Beasts we can hatch will depend on your abilities!”

The dwarves that had incited the fury of the Magical Beasts by stealing their Magical Beast Eggs?

“Lord, do you mean that we should instruct the Magical Beast Army to set up an ambush, then steal the eggs laid by the Magical Beasts to lure them into the trap?” The Corpse Wizard King had a glimmer in his eyes, getting more and more excited as he quickly guessed Yang Ling’s intentions.

He loved doing despicable things, feeling better the more despicable he was. He had never cared much about the knight’s code of honor. In his eyes, emerging victorious was the most important and interests were core. The true winner was the one laughing till the end. Many people were stronger than him back in the Dimension of Death, but they all had a bitter time dealing with him because of his despicable battle tactics!

“Rodriguez, those are your words, I did not say anything. I only look at the results!”

Seeing the old pervert Corpse Wizard King laughing lecherously by the side, Yang Ling smiled as he flew forward on his Flying Dragon. The group followed closely behind him. A group of Abyssal Demons only arrived at the area long after Yang Ling and his group disappeared into the horizon!
