The Evil Eye Tyrant’s Great Power had far exceeded everyone’s expectations.
Not to mention the low-level Horned Bee Beasts and Spiders, even a group of level nine Twin-legged Flying Dragons were not a match for him. His one eye in the center might be slower in shooting, but the power was greatly terrifying. Even at the far away distance of 1,500 paces away, he could easily shoot a hole right through the scales of the Flying Dragons. The densely packed smaller eyes around the one eye could, like the Metal Back Lion launch continuous attacks, sweep a big area at once like a laser gun.
Strong and powerful attacks, and rapid speed of movement, hard scales… All these allowed the Evil Eye Tyrant’s Battle Power to be increased to a terrifying extent! His one to one combat skills were not below that of the Flying Dragon King and Giant Ape King, but with regards to his large scale Battle Power, he could take the stead of one Magical Beasts army troop all by himself!
Was his power level at the peak of the Domain, or that of a Divine Level Magical Beast?
After witnessing the great and powerful Battle Power of the Evil Eye Tyrant, Yang Ling was very satisfied. At the same time, he also had some doubts. The Evil Eye Tyrant was very powerful, and his power had even surpassed the peak level of his Domain. But there was no Divinity within his body. He could not imagine how much Battle Power he would have once he had advanced to the level of a Divine Level Magical Beast and possessed a Divinity.
The Evil Eye Tyrant had great power, but unfortunately, he could not be replicated!
Apart from the Evil Eye Tyrant, no Evil Eye could devour 5,000 Evil Eyes and twenty Metal Back Lions with the power of Level Surpassing Magical Beasts. At the same time, he also had limited Water of the Spring of Life, not to mention the Black Crystal Marrow that reduced in supply every time a drop was used. Going down the road, he needed to take the Black Crystal Marrow together with Divinities, to help them merge quickly. It was not possible for him to use it on the normal Magical Beasts in large quantities.
After being tortured for almost a full day, Augustus was exhausted, having gained a hundred mutant Evil Eyes of the power of Level Surpassing Magical Beasts. He had used up all the Water of the Spring of Life that the Six-winged Angel Ophelia had collected over the past two days, and had used 500 tamed Metal Back Lions and almost 20,000 wild Evil Eyes.
The newly formed Evil Eye army troop had their numbers drop to a hundred, but under the command of the Evil Eye Tyrant, their Battle Power was unmatched in all the troops of the Magical Beast army. After having a few contests to compare their strength, all of them could not help but admit defeat, whether it was the Demoness’ Marmot army troop, the Flying Dragon King Seylius’, the Flying Dragon army troop, or the Burning Fire Elf King’s Great Spellcaster Army.
With over a hundred mutant Evil Eyes with the power of Level Surpassing Beasts lined up in a neat formation to shoot in synchronicity, not the mention people like the Corpse Wizard King and Dark Dragon King, even the Sea Demoness Eliza who had Divine Level Power, did not dare to face it head-on. Even a Mid-level Deity at the peak level of power did not dare to lead the charge lightly.
After successfully raising the Battle Power of the Magical Beast army troops, Yang Ling retreated from the Wizard Pagoda’s Space in satisfaction. He had originally intended to go out hunting again, to see if he could hunt and kill any Level Surpassing Magical Beasts, or even Divine Level Magical Beasts. But he did not expect to run head-on into the God of Swords and the Great Priestess of the Elves, who had come as companions, the moment he walked out of the small wooden hut.
“Yang Ling, you came out at just the right time. Scouts have discovered a dilapidated castle at the west of the lake. Let’s go, go take a look together!” The white clothes of the God of Swords fluttered in the breeze, his cheeks a rosy pink. It looked like his injuries had recovered by quite a bit.
A dilapidated castle?
Yang Ling did not hesitate one bit, immediately setting off with the God of Swords. The Graveyard of the Deities and Demons was very dangerous, but it was also a huge treasure trove. A dilapidated castle. Maybe it had some hidden treasure, or maybe an unknown ancient Deity or Demon was buried in it.
Under the leadership of the God of Swords Gerald, the people moved rapidly. Crossing mountain after mountain, going around mountain path after mountain path, quickly moving towards the castle to the west of the lake, over 200 miles away.
“According to the report of the scouts, there are many tracks of numerous Magical Beasts in the area of the castle. They have even discovered a few Divine Level Magical Beasts. Yang Ling, we must be careful when the time comes!” While walking, the God of Swords informed Yang Ling about the general situation.
So, a day ago, a few warriors were outside asking about the situation, when they unintentionally discovered a dilapidated castle within a valley enveloped by a great fog. They had not yet walked inwards to take a closer look, before being attacked by a group of Mammoth Giant Elephants. Within the group, were even a few Divine Level Mammoth Giant Elephants that were impervious to blades and spears. In the blink of an eye, the three warriors who were at the peak power level of the Sage Domain were gravely injured. Only one of them managed to use the Teleportation Scroll to escape and make it back.
“Exactly how powerful are the Divine Level Mammoth Elephants? Low-level Deity, Mid-Level Deity, or High-level Deity?” Yang Ling frowned.
With the ability of the Magical Beast army troops now, if it were Low-level Deities Mammoth Elephants, not to mention a few of them, they would be able to battle even ten of them. But if there were ten Mammoths of the power of Mid-level or even High-level Deities, then they would be in trouble.
“I don’t know. The scout was faced with the terrible attack before he had a chance to observe carefully. His ribs were broken, and he was nearly trampled to death!” Thinking of his tribesmen who had died, the God of Swords had a grave expression on his face. The warriors who had entered the Graveyard of the Deities and Demons were all elites of the Family. If one of them died, there would be one less. If many were lost, then the Bellimore Family would be dealt a severe blow.
“An ancient Deity or Demon might be buried in the dilapidated castle. If we are lucky, we may even be able to find a precious Divinity or get a powerful Divine Weapon. But if we act rashly, not a single one of us might survive. We must be careful!” The Chief Priestess of the Elves held the Magic Staff in his hands tightly, being careful and cautious.
As a Divine Level Expert who had been in and out of the Graveyard of the Deities and Demons multiple times, she understood very clearly how terrifying the Graveyard of the Deities and Demons was. If Divine Level Mammoth Elephants were seen around the dilapidated castle, it meant that there was much more to the castle. It might either be the nest of the Mammoth Elephants, or it might be that these Mammoth Elephants were guarding something. No matter the situation, it was disadvantageous to their party. No one knew if there would be a more terrifying fellow inside the castle.
“Hehe, even if we are unable to get the Divinity of the ancient Deities or Demons and Divine Weapons, it will not be too bad to kill a few Divine Level Mammoth Elephants to get their Divinities!” Yang Ling smiled, full of hope and expectations for the upcoming mission.
The Beast Soul Altar could rapidly increase the Battle Power of the Magical Beasts, but there was still great danger after all. Without being sure, he naturally could not let the Magical Beasts Kings like the Dark Dragon King and the Giant Ape King risk themselves so easily. In that case, he could only hunt and kill the Divine Level Magical Beasts or Divine Level Expert and take their Divinities to let them level up faster.
Under the leadership of the God of Swords, the people moved rapidly, successfully reaching the dilapidated castle in a little more than an hour.
The castle was situated within a valley filled with a great fog. Apart from the entrance, all the three other faces of the valley were surrounded by vertical sheer cliffs a thousand meters tall each. Towering trees grew at the entrance, the leaves and branches flourished, and there were vines everywhere full of spurs. It was very well hidden. If the three scouts had not walked past it coincidentally, no one would have known that there was such a huge valley inside.
“All of you hide here. I’ll go check the situation out. Do not forcibly barge in!” The God of Swords Gerald gave a few instructions before flying out with a whooshing sound, personally going to check on the situation within the valley, disappearing deep within the dense forest within the blink of an eye.
“The Divine Level Mammoth Elephant. What kind of Magical Beast is it exactly?” Yang Ling leaped onto the treetop of a towering tree, looking down from a height. Unfortunately, the white fog around the sky of the valley was simply too thick. No matter how good his vision was, he could not see what exactly was going on. After thinking silently for a while, he might as well sit cross-legged on the treetop, summon a team of Horned Bee Beasts, commanding them to fly in to detect the lay of the land and the situation inside.
Whoosh…
Under Yang Ling’s command, hundreds of Horned Bee Beasts became zero, rapidly flying out with a whooshing sound, splitting up to detect the situation within the valley. Nowadays, these low-level Magical Beasts like the Horned Bee Beasts were used less and less in head-on battles. But they were still the best choice for scouting due to their lightning speed and small bodies.
“The Evil Eye army troop has the Evil Eye Tyrant. Next, I should seriously think about nurturing a king of the Horned Bee Beasts, and find a way to use the Beast Soul Altar to raise the Battle Power!” Looking at the Horned Bee Beasts, which were quickly disappearing deep into the dense forest, Yang Ling secretly made up his mind.
The Horned Bee Beasts were the first type of Magical Beasts that he had come into contact with when he first came to the Tailun Continent. It was also the first type of Magical Beast that he tamed and the ace he built his empire with. Before, being restricted by his conditions, he was always unable to find an effective way to raise their Battle Power. Now, with an endless supply of the Water of the Spring of Life and the Beast Soul Altar, it was time to help them advance in level.
The Horned Bee Beasts were very quick. Very quickly, clear images were transmitted back.
After passing through the dense forest, it was the entrance to the valley. The entrance was not big, and could only fit over a hundred people walking side by side. But it was a different world inside the valley. Like the Valley of the Metal Back Lions, there was a grass plain within the valley. But what was different was the area was larger by an unknown number of times than the Valley of the Metal Back Lions. Casting one’s eye out, one would not be able to see the end.
Right in the center of the valley, was a majestic castle. The whole castle was pitch black in color. It was not known what type of material was used to build the castle. A Magical Beast with its teeth bared and claws extended was carved on the castle gates. It looked a little like a lion, but then again, a little like a ferocious Cloud Leopard. The castle might have suffered through a war, or it might have been because of the long passage of time, but there were many parts of the castle that were so run down that they did not look like anything. Loose bricks and tiles could be seen everywhere, and the castle door had long since vanished.
“Eh, where is the God of Swords? Could it be… He had barged into the depths of the castle?” After commanding the numerous Horned Bee Beasts to circle once around the outside of the castle and not being able to find any trace of the God of Swords Gerald, Yang Ling shook his head in puzzlement.
After getting to know him for a while, Yang Ling understood that while the God of Swords Gerald might have great power, he had always been careful in his actions. Without fully understanding the situation, it would be unlikely that he would go deep into the castle. Unless, the God of Swords had already discovered some treasure first, or discovered something strange.
Howl…
Just as Yang Ling was preparing to command the many Horned Bee Beasts to fly into the castle to scout the situation inside, suddenly, within the castle came an earth-shaking roar. Immediately after, the God of Swords, dressed in white, flew out like lightning. Behind him were a group of creatures like giant elephants that were ten meters tall and completely covered with long fur, chasing him down. A pair of curved tusks more than two meters long grew from the mouth area, glinting with cold light, like a pair of sharp stabbing blades, causing one to shiver without being cold.
