The Invincible Dragon Emperor

The clairvoyant third eye was unique to the Blood Apes. But this ability of the Blood Apes was of little value. The third eye could not exert any damage and could only provide a view of the past.

The Blood Apes went into action. The Master of Blood Apes saw Lu Li flying toward the north previously. So, the Blood Apes started to investigate the northern side of the basin first. They used the clairvoyant third eye every three miles in order to track Lu Li down.

This had turned out to be effective even though many of the Blood Apes were exhausted. They were moving closer to the valley. Twelve days later, they arrived at the valley and discovered the Wicked Bead hidden in the corner.

“Found it!”

A Beast God of the Blood Apes shouted in delightful surprise. Instead of attacking the Wicked Bead at once, the Blood Ape signaled to a Beast King who dashed back toward the basin.

In less than an hour, Master of Silver Dragon and the rest came. The masters of seven major species gathered with Beast Gods along with several other masters of somewhat important species.

The outside of the valley was crowded by over 200 Beast Gods who had all taken shapes of humans. The regular beasts were overwhelmed by a horrifying energy and they prostrated themselves on the ground.

“Master of Silver Dragon!”

The Master of Blood Apes asked while gazing at the Wicked Bead, “Should we build a formation in case they run away? That bead is quite strong.”

“Ha, ha~”

An elegant and attractive lady next to Master of Silver Dragon smiled a bewitching smile. Many beasts were charmed by her.

This lady’s beauty was second to none. She was somewhat similar to Ji Mengtian. She wore a white dress, and she gave out no sexy smell. Yet, when she stood there quietly, she became a bright pearl that attracted all the beasts.

She rolled her eyes at the Master of Blood Apes. Her natural charm and temptation made the Master of Blood Ape tremble. He even was having biological reactions…

That lady stated with a smile, “Master of Blood Ape, I think you are overestimating those two humans. The Masters of the seven species are here, including Master of Silver Dragon and Master of Ghost Face Spider. Do you really think those two humans can escape?”

The other brown-haired elder agreed. “Master of Fairy Fox is right. Master of Silver Dragon and Master of Ghost Face Spider are here. Not even 10 Semi-God Realm warriors will be able to survive, let alone merely one who has just reached the Semi-God Realm.”

The Master of Silver Dragon kept a straight face. The Master of Ghost Face Spider was completely hidden in a black robe. His tattooed face was appalling, and his statement was delivered in a spooky tone, “Do not waste time. Let us begin. Spare that Semi-God Realm human. I need some nutrients.”

The Master of Silver Dragon waved his hand and the Beast Gods spread into a circle. Master of Silver Dragon and Master of Ghost Face Spider and the other five stood in a corner respectively. None of them took any actions. Only a handful of Beast Gods were doing the work.

“Move!”

Master of Ten-winged Wolf let out a threatening shout. The Beast Gods sprang to work and poured out Xuan Energy at the Wicked Bead.

“Boom, boom, boom~”

The valley was brought into a disaster. The mountain was cracked, boulders were rolling and dirt was stirred up. The valley—which was not spacious, to begin with—was flattened to the ground and then caved deep in.

“What?”

Amid the flying dust, the bead floated above the huge pit, which got the attention of many. Masters of Silver Dragon, Fairy Fox, and Ghost Face Spider were all astonished. That emotion soon turned into desire.

According to the Master of Blood Ape, they had learned that the Wicked Bead was strong. However, they were still astounded to see that the Wicked Bead did not even move a bit, let alone crushed, under the attack of over 200 Beast Gods. This was rather out of the ordinary.

“Relic, that is a Relic for sure!”

The Master of Silver Dragon, who looked aged and lifeless, seemed to have gotten a hundred years younger. His wrinkled face was glowing with energy. If he could get that bead, the Nine-clawed Silver Dragons’ position among the paleo-beasts would be unshakable. This bead would lead the Silver Dragons to generations of prosperity and glory.

“Keep going!”

Master of Silver Dragon shouted in haste. The over 200 Beast Gods continued their remote attack, attempting to break down the bead after several rounds.

Clearly, this was a silly notion!

Master of Silver Dragon and the other masters did not contribute. Those two hundred some Beast Gods were only comparable to the same amount of Earth Immortal Realm warriors. If this group could have blasted the Wicked Bead open, then the bead should have been broken way back in the Central Imperial Universe.

Back then, the Wicked Bead’s energy would always have less than one-third of its full energy. That was why the Wicked Bead’s energy would always run out and at the worst time. But over the years, the bead had been absorbing energy from the Xuan Qi in heaven and earth. As of the moment, the energy of the bead was already at seventy percent. Given the Earth Immortal Realm warriors’ strength, the bead could last for decades.

“They have come?”

Naturally, Lu Li who had been cultivating felt the strikes at the Wicked Bead.

He did not open his eyes and merely checked the Wicked Bead. When he realized that it was only beasts equivalent to 200 Earth Immortal Realm warriors, he stopped worrying and went back to cultivation.

He had been cultivating in the Wicked Bead for over a month, and he had one more component of the third diagram to work on.

He did not want to get distracted even if Master of Silver Dragon and the other masters were to make a move now. At the very best, there were merely two or three Semi-God Realm warriors among the paleo-beasts. Several years of their attack would not do any damage.

Lu Li kept on cultivating while the blasting continued!

The valley was gone. The pit had deepened to an abyss. The Wicked Bead was the size of a thumb, floating in the air. The Wicked Bead would give out a light cyan glow when it sustained an attack, but the Wicked Bead never moved one bit.

Half a day had passed!

One day!

A day and a half…

Several masters that were short-tempered were losing patience. They asked to join in the act. Even Masters of Ten-winged Wolf, Blood Ape, and Haechi could not wait any longer and all sprang into action.

Some Beast Gods returned to their original beast form and used their unique powers, which made their attacks more vicious.

That being said, the Wicked Bead was still floating in the air, remaining unfazed!

The Wicked Bead would glisten in a cyan light every now and then as if it was blinking to deride the lords of the Paleo-beast Realm in a wordless way…

But the Masters of Silver Dragon, Ghost Face Spider, and Fairy Fox still had not taken actions!

The Master of Fairy Fox herself was not skilled at physical attacks. The Masters of Silver Dragon and Ghost Face Spider knew very well that their participation would not do any good or of any use when over 200 Beast Gods could not finish the job.

“Go on!”

The Master of Ghost Face Spider grinned hideously as he said in a cold voice, “Do not stop. I don’t care if it is going to take us a year. When the job is done, Master of Silver Dragon will reward you graciously.”

“Right, the Master of Silver Dragon will give you a reward. Come on!”

The Master of Fairy Fox took the hint. They would never beat the Master of Silver Dragon with regards to the bead. In that case, of course, the Master of Silver Dragon would have to provide the reward. Therefore, she agreed with the Master of Ghost Face Spider.

The Master of Silver Dragon kept a straight face and said, “Crack the bead and I will allow you to cultivate in the Pond of Dragons for one hundred years.”

“Pond of Dragons!”

All the beasts were thrilled. The Pond of Dragons was the best place to cultivate in the Paleo-beast Realm. It was said that the possibility of reaching the stage of Mythical Creature-to-be would be doubled after cultivating in the Pond of Dragons.

Immediately, the Beast Gods exerted greater strength. They would willingly attack the bead not just for a year but for 10 years if that was what it would take to get them into the Pond of Dragons.
