Chapter 429.2: Incredible Battle Results (1/2)

“He’s dead.” The Human Lord glanced toward the Sovereign Ranking. The guy they’d sent in was out.

“My younger brother, He Ming, and the Yingye brothers… all of them must’ve died here.” The Thunder Lord’s voice was frigid.

“The Yingye brothers died here, too? Could there be something terrifying down inside?” mused the Human Lord.

“Risk and opportunity often come hand in hand. When we dug open the burial mounds, no shortage of undead confronted us. There must be an especially powerful one here, too,” observed the golden lion. More precisely, he was referring to the skeletons. When the cultivators had first come here, they’d leveled up by hunting down skeletons wholesale.

“I’m going to take a look inside. Who’s with me?” The lion spat out an aureate sphere from its mouth and imperiously swept its gaze across the rest of the lords.

The other nine lords remained noncommittal and didn’t answer. Despite their agreement on paper to not contend with each other before the third round, they certainly wouldn’t mind an opportunity to eliminate an unwary competitor.

The sphere the Monster Lord had spat out was anathema to all undead. Using it, the golden lion mowed a path through wherever he went; he’d been the first to reach unravelled void, and the first to declare himself a lord.

If there was a ghost or some other such entity beneath the mound, the Monster Lord was confident in remaining unscathed. In fact, he could direct it to attack the others. Snickering, the lion strode into the cave, head held high with aplomb.

“That stupid lion can go on ahead. I doubt the ancient immortal heritage will be his so easily…” the Thunder Lord snarled through gritted teeth.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

A moment later, the cave resounded with a cacophony of deafening noise and angry leonine roars.

“Bastard!” The rest of the lords heard the lion yell. A sparkling shadow flew out of the cave several meters before crashing onto the ground.

“My Aureate Dawn Orb!” the lion yowled, then pounced right back into the cave.

“What… what’s going on here, exactly?” The others were thoroughly confused.

Bang!

Before they could fully react, a silver pile flew out from the cave just like the golden lion had a few seconds earlier. This time, it was a six-meter silverback gorilla with huge, rippling arms that extended past its knees.

The gorilla looked quite different from common specimens of its kind. Its fur glowed with a metallic light, and there was a mark upon its forehead in the shape of a crescent moon. Despite its perceived void cultivation, it emitted an incredible aura that rivaled the unravelled void lords’.

“Damn, it’s really strong!” complained the gorilla, before it too rushed back into the cave.

The ground began trembling.

Crackoooom!

The cave itself caved in.

“We’ve got it all wrong! There’s no undead inside the burial mound, just that silverback gorilla! It must be responsible for killing Yingye and the others!” The Thunder Lord was the first to realize what’d happened.

“That gorilla just now was Yuan Tong! Traitor to the silverback gorillas!” yelped a silverback gorilla. “Yuan Tong has defected to Qing Yu’s Sidekick, and is now with a little human nun!”

The speaker was none other than Silversnow, the prettiest and greatest genius of her race.
