Lord of the Magical Beasts

Chapter 724 - Alliance



Chapter 724: Alliance

Yang Ling did not hesitate after killing Core Deity Algernon in one stroke. He dug out the Core Deity’s divinity and tampered with his near-scattered soul at lightning speed.

“This is the divinity of a Core Deity?” Yang Ling sheathed the lethal Battle Soul Blade and observed the sparkling divinity in his hands closely. He had seen the divinity of a Dimensional Wanderer back in the Nine Phantom Mountain Range, but this was the first time he had seen the divinity of a Core Deity.

Unlike the divinities of an average Divine-level Expert, Core Deity Algernon’s divinity had messy striped patterns that joined together to form mysterious symbols. Even though this divinity was not larger than normal, the energy it harbored was far superior. Strangely, it was still absorbing bolts of obscure energy ripples. Those ripples of energy felt rather similar to the Faith Power released by the devotees of the Great Wizard when they were praying.

“Could this be the Faith Power released by devotees of the Algernon Divine Branch?”

Yang Ling looked at the sparkling divinity in his hands, confused. His massive Divine Knowledge seeped into it like a rising tide and closely examined the situation within the divinity, as well as how it changed after absorbing the energy. Indeed, the sparkling divinity quickly turned the obscure ripples of energy that it had absorbed into bolts of pure Soul Energy.

“Would I be able to steal the Faith Power of the Algernon Divine Branch if I consumed and assimilated this divinity?” Yang Ling thought when he sensed the pure Soul Energy within the divinity. He came up with a bold plan. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his head and swallowed the divinity of Core Deity Algernon, then consumed a few dozen drops of Black Crystal Marrow, which would accelerate the speed at which he assimilated the divinity.

Consuming the divinity of a powerful fighter allowed him to rapidly comprehend a new Mysterious Law, but it came with extreme danger. Some would be severely injured or even die from the explosion of energy. It was already extremely risky to consume the divinity of a High-level Deity. That meant that consuming the divinity of a Core Deity would be even more dangerous!

In the past, Yang Ling would definitely not have dared to consume the divinity of a powerful fighter. However, the situation was different now that he had cultivated the Skyreach Wizard Mantra and advanced to the beginner level of Wizard Deity. The transformation from a Soul Wizard to a Wizard Deity was unprecedented. His body had become harder than a top-notch Divine Weapon and was able to fend off the lethal claws of the Golden Roc without even utilizing the Physical Protection Wizard Mantra. His soul had also transformed, and he had unprecedented control over his body and soul.

Yang Ling was confident that he would be able to adopt a countermeasure in time if there were any accidents during the process of assimilating the divinity!

The divinity released scorching energy the moment it entered Yang Ling’s mouth. It bounced all around Yang Ling’s body and left behind a burning sensation wherever it went. Scorching, burning… There were even feelings of piercing pain. Yang Ling felt as though he was being roasted in a firepit, and sweat quickly soaked his body.

“Hmph, I’ve already killed its owner. I don’t believe that there’s nothing I can do to this divinity!”

Yang Ling let out a low grunt, then formed a Wizard Seal as he silently recited the Skyreach Wizard Mantra. Instantly, the majestic Physical Protection Wizard Power circulated within his body and drowned out the scorching energy. It rapidly devoured and assimilated the energy, then sent the last of the energy into a mysterious orbit. With every revolution, the scorching energy became a little weaker, and the divinity in Yang Ling’s body became a little smaller.

Originally, Yang Ling had thought that it would take at least a thousand years to assimilate Core Deity Algernon’s divinity. But in just a short time, he had almost completely assimilated Core Deity Algernon’s divinity. He did not know if it was because the divinity of a Core Deity was unique, or if the speed of assimilation had skyrocketed when he’d advanced to the level of a Wizard Deity.

Just as he had expected, Yang Ling clearly sensed the Faith Power of the Algernon Divine Branch, and he easily absorbed it into his body after assimilating Core Deity Algernon’s divinity. His Soul Energy expanded correspondingly, and the radius of his Divine Knowledge expanded by a third of its original size. With his mind clear, he suddenly gained a deep understanding of the Law of Wind. The benefits he obtained were much greater than if he had assimilated the divinity of an average Divine-level Expert!

“Huh, what’s going on? Why can’t I feel the Faith Power in the air anymore?”

“That’s weird, why can’t I sense the Faith Power all of a sudden?”

Yang Ling benefitted greatly from assimilating the divinity of Core Deity Algernon. Meanwhile, in the faraway main camp of the Algernon Divine Branch, the Divine Duty Experts who had been left behind to defend the place were flustered. Both the top-notch Divine Duty Experts who had been training in solitude and the low-level Divine Duty Experts who had just entered the Divine Branch had suddenly lost their connection to the Faith Power. They could see the devotees praying earnestly, but could not detect any Faith Power at all!

“The Core Deity has fallen, could that lad Murphy have…?” Deep within the palace of the Algernon Divine Branch where few humans tread, a white-robed elder with a white mustache and long eyebrows suddenly opened his eyes. His expression was sullen. He gave a few instructions to the guard at his side, then took to the skies, a pair of transparent wings suddenly extending from his back. He traversed a long distance with a gentle flap of his wings and then vanished.

In a stark contrast to the chaos at the main camp of the Algernon Divine Branch, Yang Ling stood motionlessly in midair with his hands extended. He devoured the Faith Power of the Algernon Divine Branch. His already-alarming Divine Knowledge was growing at an explosive rate!

“Lord, the men from the two great Divine Branches have all been killed. We have already collected all of the valuable items; do you think…” The Corpse Wizard King flew toward Yang Ling after instructing the army to clean up the battlefield and asked him for the next course of action.

“Good, very good! Let’s go! We’ll head to the Camel Peak Castle.” Yang Ling opened his eyes, then formed a Wizard Seal and brought the Magical Beast Army into the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. He mounted the Golden Roc and set off with the Corpse Wizard King and the rest of the group for the faraway Camel Peak Castle.

Originally, Yang Ling had wanted to infiltrate Starry Sky Castle to find out more about the situation in the City Amongst the Clouds. Now, after having massacred all of the elites from the Algernon Divine Branch and Justin Divine Branch in the public eye, it would be impossible for him to hide his tracks and scout things out. He’d gotten a decent sense of the situation in the City Amongst the Clouds when he’d tampered with the soul of Core Deity Algernon and obtained his memories. However, in order to achieve a definite victory and bathe the powerful City Amongst the Clouds in blood, he had to find out absolutely everything about the City Amongst the Clouds!

The Camel Peak Castle, which attracted many powerful fighters training in seclusion to replenish their supplies, was clearly a good choice.

He could stealthily infiltrate the Order Dimension where the City Amongst the Clouds was located and search for an opportunity to launch a fatal surprise attack once he’d studied the various aspects of the area. Of course, he would be even more confident if he could find the Skyreach Tower in the Order Dimension and revive another Grand Wizard before he took action!

With the assistance of two Grand Wizards, Yang Ling was confident that he would be able to chop off the head of the City Master of the City Amongst the Clouds, no matter how powerful he was!

Whoosh…

The group left quickly and disappeared into the horizon on the speedy Golden Roc. The spectating wanderers only reacted once they had vanished.

“The fall of Core Deities. My God, two Core Deities killed in one stroke!”

“The Magical Beast Divine Branch is more brutal and merciless than the rumors say! They did not even let the surrendering captives go. All of them have been torn to pieces. It’s too terrifying!”

The crowd felt their skin crawl when they saw the dismembered limbs and jarring rivers of blood on the ground. They finally understood the real meaning of brutality and mania when they’d personally witnessed over a thousand Divine Duty Experts being torn to shreds by the Magical Beasts!

If they had a choice, they would much rather face off against an Evil Demon who would kill without batting an eyelid than the brutal Magical Beasts from the Magical Beast Divine Branch.

Brutal, merciless massacre, unthinkable numbers, unstoppable impact, unparalleled offense… The Magical Beast Divine Branch had been very alarming in the battle at the Starry Sky Castle. News of their brutality and violence quickly spread throughout the Chaos Dimension and the other major dimensions. The awe-inspiring Five-clawed Golden Dragon Flag had left an indelible impression on all of the wanderers. Every wanderer, no matter how powerful they were, would take the long way around if they saw the Five-clawed Golden Dragon Flag flying in the wind!

Not every Dimensional Wanderer could kill a high and mighty Core Deity in a single second. But the Magical Beast Divine Branch had more than one fighter capable of such a feat! After they understood the strength and brutality of the Magical Beast Divine Branch, no one would dare seek them out.

“Lords, do you have the time to sit with us awhile at the Starry Sky Castle?”

Just as the Golden Roc roared and prepared to fly far away from the Starry Sky Castle with the group, a ripple suddenly appeared in the air. A middle-aged man in a black robe appeared before them. He had a fair complexion and soulful eyes. His arms were slender and toned, and he had a longsword strapped to his waist, its handle carved with majestic galaxies. The ripples of energy that came from his body were faint, and his abilities felt deep beyond comprehension. For the time being, even Yang Ling could not detect just how strong he was.

“Starry Sky Castle Master?” Yang Ling wondered aloud when he saw the vast galaxies on the man’s sword.

“That’s right, I am the Castle Master of the Starry Sky Castle! But you can just call me Cameron.” The middle-aged man smiled. He slowly continued after a pause, “Many years have passed. I did not think that I would ever see a tribesman of the Ancient Wizards here. I wonder if you have heard about the Wanderer Alliance?”

“Wanderer Alliance?” Yang Ling knitted his brows as he looked at the man who had suddenly appeared in front of him, confused. His expression did not change as he secretly formed a Wizard Seal and prepared for the worst.

“A long time ago, when other teams of wanderers came from various dimensions and freely explored the Unending Sea to learn about the laws of the universe, there was no Wanderer Alliance. Every wanderer was free!” The middle-aged man who claimed to be the Starry Sky Castle Master spoke in a grave tone. His expression was sullen, as if he was remembering a tragic past. After a pause, he continued, “However, one day, everything changed. All of the teams of wanderers were forced to disband; some were even slaughtered. Those that were lucky enough to survive secretly set up the Wanderer Alliance in order to resist the almighty Creator, so that they could seek revenge and regain their freedom!”

A Wanderer Alliance that fought against the Creator?

Yang Ling was shocked. He was starting to have an idea of the other party’s intentions!
