Chapter 43 - The Trembling Great Wilderness (1/2)

Zhong Yue hid in the woods, he spread out his psyche and not long after, he found a human tribe, with a single thought, his psyche dragged a few clothes over to him.

Shame, I was too complacent till I forgot that my clothes were torn apart.

Zhong Yue donned the clothes and heaved a breath of relief, he suddenly thought of something, he asked, "Xin Huo, if I turn my psyche into clothes and wear them on, will the others be able to see through them?"

"Those that are weaker than you will not be able to, but those that are stronger can see right through your bare buttocks."

Suddenly, an aura passed by Zhong Yue in mid-air, at the same time a pair of eyes gazed on him for a second and shifted away once the owner identified that Zhong Yue was a human.

"Another Shui Tu Clan Qi Practitioner."

Zhong Yue glanced at him and ignored it. He had now regained his human form. The Xiang Dragon was what the Shui Tu Clan was searching for; they wouldn't suspect him at all, giving him the opportunity to leave.

Those white skeletal ships that flew toward the Beast God Ridge, what are they?

Zhong Yue was thinking in his heart while he made his way back to Swords Gate, A wicked and nefarious air surrounded the occupants on the ships, they don't look like a Swords Gate Qi Practitioner at all, could they be from the monster race? Strange, the monsters and humans are like fire and water, how would they come into the Great Wilderness, and even with such a lackadaisical swagger?

He racked his head, but his mind came up with nothing. The Beast God Ridge was thought to be located at the center of the Great Wilderness; Swords Gate would surely be alerted to the arrival of the monsters and would never allow them to enter. But there were no actions nor any countermeasures taken so far, and this was somewhat odd.

The monsters were well-directed to the Beast God Ridge, they should be here for the beast god seal, but little did they know that there was nothing else in the Beast God Ridge other than the inner core of the beast god.

Zhong Yue's face turned eccentric, he thought to himself, Plus, they didn't know how dangerous the beast god seal is now. It is not an easy task to break through the seals now, because of Xin Huo and me, the Yin Dragon River and Flora Soldiers Array are restored….

Somewhere on the Beast God Ridge, in front of the beast god seal, Yan Yunsheng, the Lord of Sulphur Island; and Xiutian Chen, the Lord of Jinxiu Island, led their Qi Practitioner followers into the beast god seal. Countless monster Qi Practitioners started to break the seals off.

These Qi Practitioners were all well-known warriors of the Xian Kong City, they were proficient in the arts of the array formations, and their understandings of the totem carvings were profound.

Right outside of the beast god seal, a massive toad crouched on the ground and another giant python coiled beside the toad, the monster Qi Practitioners skinned the toad and the python as they collected their blood in buckets before transporting the blood into the beast god seal.

The stronger monster Qi Practitioners in the beast god seal would then utilize the buckets of blood and mark various totem carvings in order to suppress the beast god totem on the stone tablets and resolve the Seven Slaughtering Arrays.

The toad was six-eyed, every eye had a circumference of one mu, and all six of them were bulging up into a circle.

While the giant python had blade-like horns on its head, dorsal fins on its back and a thin layer of translucent cicada wings!

They were not one of the monster race nor the monster beasts, but instead, they were spirits, totem spirits of the monster race!

The two totem spirits were emanating an imposing aura as if they were two statues of gods.

Clearly, the beast god seal was of pinnacle importance in the eyes of the monster race. They even put the two totem spirits of the Sulphur Island and Jinxiu Island to use!

The blood of the totem spirits was not true blood, but rather, the natural totem carvings precipitated into a sanguine liquid. It contained the spirit force from the worship of the monster race, and they were the perfect materials to break the beast god seal!

"Concentrate and give me all you've got. There is zero margin for error!"

Yan Yunsheng gazed around, and he watched as the beast god power on the stone tablets was suppressed one after another and heaved a breath of relief. "The Beast God Ridge, these eight hundred miles of land are in fact remains of the fallen beast god. The beast god must be unimaginably strong. Brother Xiutian, the Swords Gate headmaster is still alive, but he hasn't much time left. The reason I went to the Swords Gate isn't merely to demonstrate my superiority to the petty humans. I have another motive… to test that old geezer's limits. Although he's cast off my aura, he never revealed himself. Instead, he had the Shui Tu Clan elder show up for negotiations. With his reputation as 'Sword God,' he never would have negotiated at all, killing would be his only answer! It's clear that he is on his last legs and cannot afford to stir up any more trouble!"

Xiutian Chen clasped his hands behind his back and said casually, "As long as the old geezer is alive, the Swords Gate will be left untouched. However, once he is gone, the Swords Gate will crumble like a petty bug. He is clearly aware of it, which is why he is trying to delay his death for another few more years so that he can raise the next headmaster. But sadly, the elders of the Swords Gate are all hollow shells of their former primes, while the next generation, Feng, Fang, Lei, and Jun are still too green. Although they are comparable to the elders, they are still a distance away from taking charge as chief, not to mention becoming the next headmaster. I wonder if that old geezer Feng can even live long enough to see those four youngsters mature.

"Feng, Fang, Lei, and Jun—the four all possess innate spirit bodies. They were born with their spirits already inside them; a Qi Practitioner from birth. They are not to be underestimated. The only caveat is that they have not cultivated for long enough."

Yan Yunsheng smiled, "The Great Wilderness… will, in the end, belong to our monster race! This land will be the pasture of the monster race, and the humans will be the food we devour. They know very well of the art of survival, they prey on their food, they reproduce with their own kind. We only need to leave and breed them like livestock here. Once in a while, we will come to reap the harvests. We would have an unlimited supply of food for the monster race!"

Later on, Xiutian Chen also joined in the others in suppressing the stone tablets with the totem blood, and he said, "There must be treasures of the ancient beast god right here in the beast god seal. It's a shame the lord of Xian Kong City is not coming along. Otherwise, we will be able to expedite the process greatly!"

One after another, the stone tablets were suppressed, numerous monster Qi Practitioners including Yan Yunsheng and Xiutian Chen all ventured deep into the beast god seal.

"This river…"

Xiutian Chen suddenly stopped, he gazed at the river stream that flowed beside his feet, he pondered for a moment and all of a sudden, his face twitched and changed drastically, he took a deep breath and shouted out loud, "STOP, everyone, stop at once!"

The orotund and deafening voice resounded in the ears of the monster Qi Practitioners, they all halted their actions and stayed still.
