Chapter 39 - Inner Core of The Beast God (2/2)

However, there were a few places where the water flow stopped. Hence, the river couldn't flow through every stone tablet. This should be attributed to the changes in the topography of Beast God Ridge that disrupted the river from flowing along its set path.

"This is the Yin Dragon River; it is also another slaughtering array, linked and connected to the Seven Slaughtering Arrays. Other than that, there is the Flora Soldiers Array which was also destroyed with the changes in topography."

Xin Huo sighed in deep regret, his heart ached considerably, and he stomped on Zhong Yue's shoulders, "Such arrays, it'll be a shame if we don't return them to its flawless state."

Zhong Yue coughed and reminded him, "Xin Huo, our target is the beast god essence."

Xin Huo gazed at Zhong Yue from the side, "After the beast god essence, can we perfect these three arrays?"

Zhong Yue upon seeing the eyes that were filled with great expectations, his heart softened, he nodded and said, "Alright, we will do it."

Xin Huo hopped around excitedly, suddenly, he calmed down and held his hands together, an air of expectancy lurked around him as he asked again, "After we complete the arrays, can we activate them and have some fun playing around with them?"

Zhong Yue quickly shook his head. It must be a joke, a single intermediate slaughtering array was already this strong, if the larger God-level slaughtering array were to be triggered, wouldn't it poke a hole in the skies?

Not to mention that Xin Huo was planning to activate three slaughtering arrays, even the consequences of activating one was unimaginable, let alone three?

The little flame twitched his mouth, discontentedly said, "The pure-blood Fuxi Celestial Race will definitely accept my request to activate the three arrays…"

Zhong Yue ignored as if he did not hear anything.

Not long later, under Xin Huo's guidance, Zhong Yue arrived at a rounded opening cave-like door, the door was splattered with dried blood all over it, forming carvings of totems, but as ages passed by the carvings were blurred and fainted.

The door ajar, filaments of monstrous Qi seeped out through the gap and into the air along with surges of scented fragrance.

Zhong Yue smelled the air and said curiously, "This scented smell is so odd, could it be that the beast god had condensed its essence into a medicinal pellet?"

"You're right." Xin Huo smiled and said, "The beast god essence is indeed a medicinal pellet, but it doesn't go by that name. Instead, it's known as the inner core. The inner core is the thing formed when the monster race cultivates and consummate their essence. During the eras of the Sui Sovereigns and Fuxi, the monster race was the most inferior of all races. During the banquet of the Gods, they would usually serve a plate of monster gods' inner cores."

Zhong Yue was dumbstruck while Xin Huo continued, "Judging by how you humans are right now, I suppose they will serve a plate of human gods' inner cores during the banquet of the Gods. The seal on the door is already broken, quickly get in and take the beast god essence, we will then hastily complete the three slaughtering arrays! Oh yes, hold your breath, don't inhale too much of the scented fragrance, or otherwise, you will turn into a monster beast…"

Zhong Yue quickly held his breath, all of a sudden, he felt a surge of irritation on his hand. He glanced at it and was horrified as he saw a scale growing beneath his skin. He had only inhaled a few breaths of air, and there were already signs of assimilation into a monster beast!

If he consumed the beast god essence, wouldn't he definitely turn into a monster?

I hope Xin Huo is trustworthy this time…

He recollected back his thoughts and pushed the door fully open, he walked into it, and the fragrance in the air grew more pungent, as if it would just percolate through his skin pores into his body.

Zhong Yue felt surges of itchiness all over his body, he held his composure and started visualizing the Sui Sovereign in his psyche ocean, only then did he feel much better.

He lifted his head and looked around, the space behind the door was huge, at least a million square miles with the height of a thousand miles. In the middle of the space was a pearl emanating light rays all over the space, bathing the whole place in an intense radiance.

"This is the beast god's heart chamber, where it's heart is located. Before the beast god died, it fused its psyche and its blood into the three slaughtering arrays so that his soul and the inner core would remain untainted beyond the reach of others."

Xin Huo urged him to hurry and babbled, "Quick, quick, take the inner core and we will go and have fun with the slaughtering arrays!"

Zhong Yue closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, two dreadful Jiao Dragons surrounded by lightning appeared beneath his feet and soared right at the monster god's inner core!

The moment his hand grabbed onto the inner core, scales started to form beneath his skin in a split second!

"Quick! Plant the Beast God Inner Core into your psyche ocean!" Xin Huo shouted.

"How?" Zhong Yue was utterly lost, the Beast God Inner Core was as big as a goose egg, how could he just plant it in his psyche ocean?

While the conversation was going on, the scales continued to crawl up his arm at an increasingly alarming rate!

Xin Huo shouted, "Just stuff it in!"

Zhong Yue clenched his teeth, he raised his hand and pressed the Beast God Inner Core onto his glabella!
