Chapter 525: Boasting
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After subjugating the souls of a few Sea Demons and members of the Sea Tribe and obtaining their memories, Yang Ling soon gained a basic understanding of the history of the Evil Demon Island.
As it turned out, throughout history, because of the differences in their habits and faith, the Sea Demon Tribe had always been discriminated against by the other members of the Sea Tribe. They did not have a territory belonging to them, nor a stable source of food. The generations of Sea Demons had no choice but to wander around the vast ocean, suffering from disease and hunger. No other Sea Tribes were willing to accept them, and no one sympathized with their plight. They wandered around the ocean like the gypsies back on Earth.
The alluring songs of the Sea Demons were rumored as a means of summoning evil demons, and their pristine appearance was called the temptation of the evil demons. In the eyes of the nobles of the Sea Tribes, the Sea Demons were evil cultists. They would blame the Sea Demons for any disasters they faced.
In terms of talent in magic, the Sea Demons were not stronger than the Mermaids, who were royalty amongst the Sea Tribes. In terms of physical ability, they were far inferior to fierce Tiger Shark Warriors. In fact, they were even weaker than the short, storky Fishmen. In terms of population, they paled in comparison to the many members of the Sea Tribe.
The Sea Demons who had been heavily discriminated against could not retaliate, and there was nowhere they could plant their feet within the vast ocean. They were thought of as evil cultists when they were in the ocean, while onshore, they were regarded as another species by humans, and they had no choice but to hide from their persecution.
If that had not been an accident, the Sea Demon tribe would have continued roaming the world forever, till their entire tribe perished. However, an accident happened!
Ten thousand years ago, a genius emerged amongst the Sea Demons, a rare genius. His magic could cause the weather to change and overturn the seas. His close combat abilities were even more terrifying than even the powerful Sea Dragons. He was the Sea Demon King, the pride of the Sea Demon tribe!
However, what the genius Sea Demon King that only appeared once every ten thousand years brought the Sea Demons was not a blessing, but a greater disaster!
Perhaps it was because he had been tortured since he was young, or perhaps he saw his parents get executed by the members of the Sea Tribe when he was just a child. The Sea Demon King became a mutant even amongst the Sea Demons when he grew up, becoming violent and bloodthirsty. After reaching mastery in his training, he not only thought the Sea Demons how to cultivate various Battle Energies and magical spells, he even led his tribespeople in manically attacking the enemies who had once persecuted the Sea Demons.
Blood spilled wherever his blade crossed, and many tribes had been massacred under his blade! In fact, even the humans who were living permanently by the coast were no exception!
After massacring a large number of members of Sea Tribes and humans, there finally came a day when the Sea Demon King got severely injured after being ganged up against by the allied forces of elites from the Sea Tribes and humans. He was then sealed in the Stormy Seas, personally guarded by the powerful Church. The army of the Sea Demons that had once lorded over the continent nearly got exterminated, and the Sea Demons nearly went extinct, their population declining to an unprecedented low, their strength greatly diminished.
After the Sea Demon King was sealed out, the rest of the Sea Demons gathered on Evil Demon Island, surrounded by hidden currents and corals, secretly gathering their strength. In order to one day save the Sea Demon King, for the survival of their clansmen, to prevent the acts of vengeance from the other Sea Tribes, they spent much effort in recruiting various monsters. Soon, the entire Evil Demon Island was governed as a defiled island, and its notoriety spread far and wide. Not only did the island not get destroyed by the various Sea Tribes, they even used their immense strength to conquer many Sea Tribes, their influence getting stronger and stronger.
Everything was for survival and benefits!
After understanding the history behind the Sea Demon Tribe and their relationship with the other Sea Tribes, Yang Ling stepped into the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, prepared to get the Sea Tribes to submit. In fact, it was even possible for him to get the Sea Demon Tribe to submit, completely solving the crisis that way.
“Who are you? What is this place?” Seeing Yang Ling suddenly appear and suspending in the air, the members of the Sea Tribe turned pale.
Out of the several hundred of them, most of them were still asleep or have lost their consciousness after being hit by the poisonous stingers when they were transported in a daze to the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. Only a few of them saw the blanketing amount of Magical Beasts descending from the sky before they lost consciousness. Seeing the familiar yet foreign ocean, seeing the azure sky and boundless forest, they could not understand what was going on.
“This is the world of the Great Wizard. You can also think of this place as a completely different physical dimension from the Tailun Continent!” Looking at the fearful members of the Sea Tribe, Yang Ling let out a faint smile, gently descending onto the ground like a falling leaf, “Here, I can give you all endless luxuries, but I can also make your lives a living hell!”
Another dimension?
After looking at each other, the members of the Sea Tribe turned pale in shock. Originally, they had thought that they had unintentionally been kidnapped to a desolate corner. However, no one expected this to be another physical dimension! It was no wonder the water of the ocean looked exceptionally clear. It was no wonder that the ocean here looks especially different!
“No, impossible, he is a crafty charlatan, kill him!”
That’s right, attack together, let’s kill him!”
…
Shark Tigermen were ill-tempered. They shouted after recovering from their shock, raising their sharp giant axes with force. Some even picked up giant rocks directly from the beach under their feet. They strengthened the resolve of the group, and with their lead, several hundred soldiers of the Sea Tribe took action quickly, shouting as they charged toward Yang ling. No one believed, nor did they want to believe, that they had unintentionally arrived at another dimension.
“Hmph, since you are asking for death, let me send you on your way!” Yang Ling let out a cold grunt, instantly unleashing his Gravity Domain to lock the members of the Sea Tribe in place. He then waved his right hand and rain of snake-shaped lightning electrocuted the Tiger Sharkmen leading the pack. Compared to his strength outside, his abilities were even more powerful inside the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. He could easily increase gravity to sixty-four times that of normal and make it such that even moving a finger will be difficult for the members of the Sea Tribe!
Whoosh…
After a sea breeze blew past, a startling scene appeared before the eyes of the various members of the Sea Tribe. The charred Tiger Sharkmen crumbled into countless specks of dust, scattering into the wind in the blink of an eye. They had vanished without a trace!
“Demon King, Great Demon King, you…You are the leader of the Magical Beast Territory?” Looking at this terrifying scene, thinking back to the blanketing number of Magical Beasts, then looking at Yang Ling and his black eyes and hair, the Fishman Banks turned pale. It was rumored that the Great Demon King Yang Ling, who could summon a large number of Magical Beasts to do battle, was an evil demon who had come from another dimension. Now it looks like that rumor was not false.
“That’s right. I am the leader of the Magical Beast Territory! Originally, I had wanted to let you followers of the Sea Demons on Evil Demon island live for some time more. To think that you would so insolent charge forward to your deaths, hmph!” Yang Ling waved his hands and removed the Gravity Domain surrounding the members of the Sea Tribe, then calmly said, “The tribes that choose to follow me will be able to build up their families in this boundless ocean. The tribes that choose to continue following the Evil Demon Island will be completely destroyed by the attack of my Magical Beast Army, you can choose for yourself!”
Yang Ling spoke as he secretly summoned the six-winged Angel Leader Ophilia. He used his soul ripples to order her to lead the Blood Angel Army to rush over with the Sea Demon Eliza. Following that, he ordered the Corpse Wizard King to rush over with the Magical Beast Army, threatening the hesitant members of the Sea Tribes.
Carrot and stick, one was a vast, resource-rich ocean, and the other was the unbridled threat of the Magical Beast Army. Yang Ling believed that these members of the Sea Tribes who had been forced to cooperate with the Evil Demon Island in the first place would naturally make the right decision.
“My God, Miss Eliza?”
“Magical Beasts, they are all Magical Beasts, could this be the legendary Magical Beast Dimension?”
“Impossible, how can there be this many angels here?”
…
Seeing at the tied up Sea Demon Eliza, seeing the Blood Angel Army wielding their giant scythes, looking at the swarm of Magical Beasts, the fearful members of the Sea Tribes turned pale. Even the Divine-level Expert Eliza had been captured, who else was a match for the Great Demon King Yang Ling? No matter how many of them there were, who could be a match for these angels and the Magical Beast Army?
“Bastard, release me, release me!” Seeing at the several hundred members of the Sea Tribe in front of her, the Sea Demon Eliza’s heart sank even further. She knew that the Magical Beast Territory had started their strong counter-attack. She said fiercely, hugging the last shred of hope she had left, “Release me, or else our Sea Demon King will never let you go!”
“Sea Demon King?” Seeing that the Sea Demon Eliza was unwilling to give up, then looking at the many hesitant members of the Sea Tribe, Yang Ling let out a cold smile, “The Sea Demon King had only been sealed ten thousand years ago, what awaits him now is his utter death. Powerful fighters like the God of Fire Raymond and the Chief Elven Priest have already joined forces and are rushing toward the Dark Association. The Sea Demon King will not be able to avoid death, no matter how powerful he is. Surrender early, and your Sea Demon tribe can still proliferate for generations. Otherwise, there will not be a tribe of Sea Demons in the future.
God of Fire Raymond?
Yang Ling was spouting nonsense and was boasting to scare his enemies, using the reputation of the God of Fire Raymond to scare this persistent Sea Demon Eliza and the various members of the Sea Tribes; He did not expect that the Sea Demon Eliza would tremble when she heard his name. No one else knew just who the Sea Demon King was injured by ten thousand years ago, but she, as a descendant of the Sea Demon King, was clear as to what had happened back then. Back then, the Church and the elites of the Sea Tribes could not trap the powerful Sea Demon King even after they joined forces. However, after the God of Fire Raymond arrived, he severely injured the Sea Demon King in the blink of an eye.
If the God of Fire Raymond would attack once again, things might be much worse than she had imagined! Merely the surprise attack of the Magical Beast Territory would be enough to completely destroy the defenseless Evil Demon Island, much less the counter-attack of the Dark Association!
What do I do?
The Sea Demon Eliza, who could not move wept in her anxiety. In order to completely destroy the Dark Association, the Sea Demon King had brought away most of the elites. If they were caught off guard, how could her tribespeople who had been left behind to defend the island fight back against the Magical Beast Army of the Magical Beast Territory, how could they defend against the other party’s powerful Divine-level Magical Beast?
Thinking about the Nine-headed Snake King who had swallowed a dwarf whole, the scalp of the Sea Demon Eliza turned numb. If even the dwarf who had abilities reaching the peak of a Mid-level Deity had been swallowed alive, the other members of her tribe would likely meet the same fate!
“You do not have much time left. I’ll give you your last chance. Remember, those who can convince your entire tribe to follow me will obtain your own territory in this boundless ocean, with all the resources you can dream of; Those who refuse to repent will meet with death. Think hard about whether it is worth it to continue serving the Evil Demon Island!” Seeing that the various members of the Sea Tribe were deep in thought, Yang Ling knew that he had achieved his motive for this trip. He then left quickly with his angels and Magical Beast Army.
