Chapter 1019: Myriad Beasts Tomb

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

During the ancient times, there were magical beasts, which fed not on plants nor meat, but only on thunderbolts. All of these thunderbolts, once ingested, then gathered in the hearts of these beasts. After the bests accumulated layers upon layers of the thunderbolts, eventually the thunderbolts would condense into a daunting energy.

The beasts were gentle by nature, never hurting anyone. But, when they got provoked or backed into a corner, they would cause their hearts to self-destruct. Rumor has it that if a Thunder-Devouring Beast, who had been around for many years, blasted its own heart away, the impact from that self-destruction would be inestimable!

There was another rumor about an Earthly Sovereign, who tried to capture one of the beasts and keep it as a pet. But the creature was so furious that it exploded its own heart. In the end, the Earthly Sovereign died in the explosion.

But such Thunder-Devouring Beasts were much too rare to be found in the Great Thousand World. So, slowly, everyone forgot about the species existence altogether.

When Mu Chen finished hearing Han Shan’s introduction of the Thunder-Devouring Beasts in the tower, his head felt numb. His hand, which was holding the silver heart, was shaking. He was afraid that the heart would explode and that none of them would escape.

“The age of a Thunder-Devouring Beast’s heart can be differentiated by its color. I heard that, if the beast lived over ten thousand years, its heart would be pure gold in color. The one you are holding now is silver, meaning that it must have been over at least a thousand years old. Although this may not be able to kill an Earthly Sovereign, it would be at least be powerful enough to provide a deadly blow to those with a lesser rank.” Han Shan stared at the silver heart, enthusiasm in his eyes.

This heart of the Thunder-Devouring Beast would then be another trump card, able to strike fear in the hearts of any opponent. Most importantly, in desperate times, this trump card could be their salvation!

Mu Chen knew this well, so he could not help but grin. He held the silver heart carefully, as he was well-aware of its immense worth now.

However, this heart could only be used once. Hence, Mu Chen would not use it casually, but only as a last resort. Otherwise, it would be a waste!

“Brother Mu is really lucky.”

Seeing his abundant rewards, Han Shan’s face was filled with envy. The three items that Mu Chen had were all extraordinary items. If they were to be exchanged for Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, he could easily get millions of it. Such a windfall would be undoubtedly way more than the 1.5 million that he had initially paid!

Mu Chen could not hide his delightful expression. He had not expected that he would reap that much! But, had it not been for the ability of Ink Ring, he would not have had such a fruitful trip.

And, of course, he was even luckier that he could barely decipher the difficult seal with the help of his spiritual array. Without these two crucial components, he could not have been so lucky.

“Brother Han, we’re almost reaching the Myriad Beasts Tomb. Do you think that you can tell us more about how we plan on capturing the treasure beasts?” asked Mu Chen, while quickly trying to hide his excitement.

Nine Nether and Ink Blade also looked over to await the answer. The primary objective for their trip was to look for clues about the Primordial Undying Bird. Although they were also interested in the treasure beasts, that was still a secondary issue to them. Hence, they needed to estimate the danger involved in this mission.

Han Shan nodded and said, “Yes, of course. The last time that one of the top powers from our clan went into the Land of the Divine Beasts, he said that there were two more clans, besides us, that also found the treasure beasts.

“Who are they?” asked Ink Blade.

“The Sirius Clan and the Golden Lion Clan,” Han Shan replied.

Mu Chen squinted his eyes, thinking hard.

These two clans have deep roots. If they managed to evolve to their final stages, they would become Moon-Devouring Sirius and Nine-headed Golden Lions respectively. These two are the sovereign forms that could even fight against a sovereign divine beast!

But of all these years, no one has seen a successful case of evolvement to this final stage. Judging from this, one could tell that the difficulty is reaching the final stage!

Even so, both Sirius and the Golden Lion Clan are quite renowned in the Great Thousand World. So, it is better not to underestimate them!

“We had a secret agreement with the top powers of the Sirius Clan. Maybe we could join hands to kick the Golden Lion Clan out of the picture first. If so, we would then get additional shares from the divided loot!” Han Shan smiled.

Mu Chen took a closer look at Han Shan. He did not expect that Han Shan would have already teamed up with the Sirius Clan. If this was truly so, the Golden Lion Clan might really lose out.

“The Sirius Clan is known to be cunning and ruthless, so we need to be careful when we work with them,” Nine Nether reminded the group.

Han Shan nodded. After all, he was not naïve, so he knew how unreliable this type of working relationship could be. If there were any situational changes that arose, the Sirius Clan might just attack them. That is the reason that he had invited Mu Chen’s team on board in the first place. Otherwise, he would not have asked someone to share their treasures, had he been confident enough to win the battle alone!

“Other than those clans who are here for the treasure beasts, there are also beast spirits, who were eroded by the death aura, that are in the area where the treasure beasts were buried. They are troublesome creatures, too.” Han Shan added more information to prepare the group.

“Beast spirits? How many of them? What’s their combat strength?” Mu Chen asked.
