Apart from her master Yun Qi, there was no second person capable of summoning an Overlord-
level phantom beast!
But…
Shen Yanxiao’s heart was full of unease. Truthfully, the Overlord-level phantom beast could only be
summoned by a Warlock at the divine level. Yun Qi was injured before and, even after he was
cured, the previous damage he incurred had left a great impact on his cultivation. So far, Yun Qi
had not been able to enter the realm of Saint Profession.
So how could such a Yun Qi summon an Overlord-level phantom beast?
Shen Yanxiao couldn’t figure it out, but she didn’t have the leisure time to think about it. The nearby
devil soldiers had already surrounded her.
In The Rising Sun City, Yun Qi was standing in a huge summoning array. His hands were open and
his wrists were bloodied. Large tracts of blood dripped from the wounds on his wrists and blended
into the summoning array at his feet.
Ye Qing stood by with an expressionless face, holding the blood tonic in his hand and constantly
pouring it down to Yun Qi.
“Grandmaster…” Nangong Mengmeng stood outside the summoning array, and her pale face was
filled with desperate sadness. She covered her mouth with her hands to contain her sobbing voice
while big beads of tears rolled down her eyes.
“Don’t tell Little Xiao.” Yun Qi’s pale face still wore a kind smile, even at this moment.
Shen Yanxiao’s uneasiness was not without reason. In terms of Yun Qi’s current strength, it was
impossible for him to summon an Overlord-level phantom beast. However, he forcibly broke
through the limit of ranks and summoned the Lava Overlord to the battlefield of The Rising Sun
City.
Warlocks had always been a very mysterious profession. Even Shen Yanxiao, who had broken
through the Divine Profession, had not fully understood all the powers of Warlocks.
Yun Qi never told Shen Yanxiao that after Warlocks became Summoners, there was a kind of
forbidden technique that would deal a fatal blow to the Summoner.
This forbidden technique could summon phantom beasts far higher than their own limit. However,
it consumed not the Summoners strength, but their life instead.
Summoners used their own blood as a medium to forcibly summon phantom beasts stronger than
themselves. How long the phantom beast could exist in this world depended on how much blood
was in the Summoner’s body.
Until the Summoner’s blood ran out, the phantom beast would not return to the phantom world.
This was a kind of forbidden technique. Once this forbidden technique was activated, the
Summoner could not disconnect the summoning by themselves. The Summoner would be
imprisoned in the summoning array until the last drop of blood flowed out of their bodies and they
died.
Once this kind of summoning array was used, it indicated that the Summoner was bound to die!
Nangong Mengmeng sat down, crying. Her body trembled all over. She was tightly covering her
mouth to prevent her sobs from slipping out of her mouth.
“Good girl, your master still needs your help. You have become a Summoner to be able to help her,
right? It’s enough to have Ye Qing here.” If it weren’t for this kind of summoning array needing
another Summoner to help deliver magic power, Yun Qi wouldn’t want Nangong Mengmeng to
know all this.
He was already old and couldn’t do anything for his disciples. He could only use his worthless life to
exchange for some useful things.
“Go.” Ye Qing’s voice was hoarse. Only the three of them knew about Yun Qi’s plan.
When Yun Qi told him all this, he thought Yun Qi had gone mad.
But as soon as he stood on the city wall and saw the scenes of magical beasts being slaughtered
continuously by the demon beast, it made him realize that Yun Qi might have predicted this
situation: that was why he was willing to give up his life to summon the Lava Overlord.
In the end, Ye Qing chose to agree with Yun Qi.
They all knew that letting the demon beasts into the main battlefield would bring terrible
consequences. They still hadn’t forgotten the tragedy brought about by the beast tide.
