Ch.468
A strong bloodthirst gushed out from a crimson blood dragon, shooting straight at Li Molin.
Flustered and alarmed, Li Molin waved the longsword in her hand and multiple sword rays flew out, forming a great protective barrier. A thunderous bang rang in the air, ripples of shockwaves warped space as the large blood dragon rammed against the protective barrier.
“Today, you must die!” Huwang Xiao’s frigid voice was bone-chilling.
Even if Li Lu was here today, Huwang Xiao was resolved to reap Li Molin’s life on the spot! Not only Li Molin, he was determined to slaughter all Deities Templar’s people!
All of them must die!
Half an hour passed. Inside the Devils and Ghosts Flag, a sole Li Molin remained, shrouded in thick death aura.
“Huwang Xiao, I’ll not spare you even if I turn into a ghost!” knowing that her life would end here, Li Molin screamed, her face distorting with resentment, “Also, our Temple Preceptor has taken a liking to Li Lu a long time ago, Li Lu and our Temple Preceptor find each other congenial, you will never have any chance with Li Lu, not ever!”
“Li Lu will kill you to avenge me! She’ll slaughter your entire family!”
“Annihilate all your Asura’s Gate disciples!”
“Everything you have!”
Li Molin shouted in a deranged manner, her eyes shining with a manic light.
The Tiger Tribe Patriarch Chuck landed a palm strike on Li Molin’s back at this point. Li Molin stumbled forward, right into the swarm of Poison Corpse Scarabs. Excited, the Poison Corpse Scarabs rushed up, some about to start from Li Molin’s eyes.
However Huwang Xiao did not allow the Poison Corpse Scarabs to touch Li Molin, instead, he retrieved them and the Devils and Ghosts Flag. As he approached Li Molin, the Blades of Asura appeared in his hands.
“Huwang Xiao, you...!” Barely a few words in, the Blades of Asura in Huwang Xiao’s hands swung down, and Li Molin’s head flew to the sky. Her voice abruptly cut off.
Blood rained down where Li Molin was.
Looking at Li Molin’s corpse with a cold expression, he transferred the headless body into the Linglong Treasure Pagoda as food for the Poison Corpse Scarabs.
“Liege Lord Beast God is mighty!”
The beastmen experts’ voices thundered in the square.
Huwang Xiao collected all the Deities Templar experts’ spatial rings into his Asura Ring. Looking at the beastmen experts around, his raised an arm to calm the excited crowd as his powerful voice resonated, “Begin the Beast God Sacrificial Rite!”
Another sonorous reply came from the beastmen experts, complying with Huwang Xiao’s command and collecting Li Molin and other Deities Templar experts’ heads. More than sixty human heads were placed on the sacrificial altar.
When Huwang Xiao ordered the Poison Corpse Scarabs to kill Liu Yang and the Deities Templar experts, he made them leave the heads intact.
When all the heads were lined on the sacrificial altar, Huwang Xiao proceeded step by step according to the beastmen sacrificial rite, lasting over an hour before the ceremony was done.
“Salute the Liege Lord Beast God!” Tiger Tribe Patriarch Chuck took lead. The Beast God Sacrificial Rite was completed, therefore Huwang Xiao was, beyond any doubt, the new beastmen tribes’ Beast God.
In a blink, the mass of beastmen experts fell to their knees in worship, each of them showing reverence, worship, and great ardor.
Huwang Xiao briefly scanned over the mass of prostrating silhouettes before telling them to rise.
“Bring forth Andrew!” Huwang Xiao ordered.
Although Huwang Xiao pierced the Beast God Scepter through Andrew’s forehead, shattering a large hole in his skull, Andrew was still alive.
Two Lion Tribe Elders half carried half dragged Andrew before Huwang Xiao.
Everyone watched quietly, waiting for Huwang Xiao to speak. “Andrew conspired with Deities Templar, luring the beastmen tribes to submit under another, according to the beastmen tribes’ law, what is the penalty for this?!”
“Death by a thousand swords piercing the heart!” Tiger Tribe Patriarch Chuck stepped forward in reply.
Huwang Xiao nodded, battle qi gathered around his palm, forming into sharp swords. With a flick, the sword energy pierced into Andrew’s heart. Andrew let out a hoarse, blood-curdling scream as the sword energy pierced through his chest, coming out from his back.
Just like this, the sword energy repeatedly pierced through Andrew’s heart ten thousand times before stopping.
The heart was the body’s most essential organ, regardless if one was a Saint realm expert or a God Realm master, the heart was still considered a weakness. Ten thousand times pierced by a sword, one could hardly imagine the torment.
After the punishment was dealt with, Huwang Xiao took out the Devils and Ghosts Flag, allowing it to swallow Andrew’s soul.
The beastmen experts felt a chill in their hearts witnessing the cruel punishment that Andrew subjected to, and in the end, not even his soul was spared, being swallowed into a wicked flag.
Feeling worse than anyone present was the Snake Tribe’s Patriarch, Danny.
A few days earlier, he actually said that that he would ‘play’ Huwang Xiao to death! Even declaring out in the open that he would let Huwang Xiao taste the pleasure of being bitten by ten thousand snakes.
“Danny!” Huwang Xiao’s voice boomed like a thunderclap in Danny’s brain.
A violent shiver ran down Danny’s back as he walked forward a few steps before kneeling on his knees, “Liege Lord Beast God, have mercy ah! This small one wasn’t aware of Liege Lord’s identity, please spare my life!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you.” Huwang Xiao drawled, not showing any emotion on his face, “Upon returning to the Snake Tribe, enter the Thousand Snake Cave. Come out after you’ve been bitten ten thousand times!”
The words Danny spurted after leaving that night, Huwang Xiao heard every word clearly with his spiritual sense.
Danny turned deathly pale, yet he dared not raise the slightest objection, kowtowing in gratitude toward Huwang Xiao for sparing his life.
Subsequently, Huwang Xiao held a small discussion on the spot, re-establishing certain rules as well as assigning some tasks to the many beastmen Patriarchs.
Several hours later, Huwang Xiao excused all the tribes back to their territories. One of the tasks Huwang Xiao gave them was to spread the word of what took place in the beastmen tribes congregation to the outside.
Huwang Xiao would hang Li Molin and all the Deities Templar experts’ heads upon the Sacred Tiger City’s gates. He was curious to see if the Deities Templar would be sending people to come collect their heads.
If they dared not, then Deities Templar would be reduced to nothing but Martial Spirit World’s biggest laughing stock!
If Deities Templar really sent someone over to collect those heads… Huwang Xiao sneered, he would make sure that the heads of the people that came would decorate the Sacred Tiger City walls together.
Huwang Xiao returned to the Sacred Tiger City with the group of Tiger Tribe experts, bringing the heads with him. As for the rumored Beast God heritage within the Beast God Shrine, Huwang Xiao planned to return after refining the primordial divine dragons with the Dragon God Grass he had.
After all, he was now the Beast God that united the beastmen tribes and could enter the Beast God Shrine any time.
While Huwang Xiao and the Tiger Tribe experts were back in the Sacred Tiger City, hanging the heads along the city walls, the whole Martial Spirit World was driven into a furore!
“What?! The Beast God Scepter has resurfaced! Huwang Xiao has the Beast God Scepter and became the beastmen tribes’ Beast God!
”
“Huwang Xiao is reigning over the beastmen tribes!”
“Deities Templar’s Li Molin and more than sixty experts were all killed by Huwang Xiao! Their heads are hanging on top of the Sacred Tiger City walls at this very moment!”
Akin to an enormous meteor crashing into its soil, the whole Martial Spirit World was shaken, forces big and small found it hard to believe it, they were shocked and dumbfounded by the news!
Trepidation gradually spread among the experts and disciples of Cosmos God Cult, every family and forces that was at odds with Huwang Xiao fell into a foreboding doom.
When Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, and the Asura’s Gate experts and disciples heard the news, excited cheers sounded in every corner of the Asura’s Gate, brimming with anticipation.
On the Snow Wind Continent, within the palace walls of the Blessed Buddha Empire, Shi Fantian’s hearty laughter echoed through the corridors hearing the news. “I didn’t expect, ah, that Junior Brother got the Beast God Scepter! Uniting the beastmen tribes! The next time I see Junior Brother, it seems I also need to greet him respectfully as Lord Beast God!”
How powerful the united beastmen tribes were, anyone could imagine it even using their toes. Without a doubt, in the Martial Spirit World, they were the strongest force! In front of the united beastmen tribes, the Cosmos God Cult was nothing but a smelly fart!
Shi Xiaofei was cultivating in her yard when her maid Xiaorou ran in flushed with giddy excitement. Baffled why Xiaorou was acting this way, before Shi Xiaofei could ask, Xiaorou blurted out, “Princess, Young Noble Huwang, he, he’s now the beastmen tribes’ Beast God!”
Ch.469
Beast God!
Shi Xiaofei’s big eyes widened, the astonished expression on her face remained for a long time.
Somewhere near the Dead Sea Gorge, on the Deities Templar’s unique floating island, the Temple Preceptor, Ying Tian, sat enshrouded in a rolling black mist that actually blurred the lines of space, as if his entire being integrated with the surrounding space.
Below the dais, many Deities Templar experts were kneeling, too scared to move an inch, afraid that their breathing was too loud.
A heavy silence submerged the hall, and only the occasional ‘di-ta, di-ta’ noise of sweat falling to the floor can be heard.
In the dead quiet hall, a low laughter suddenly sounded from within the black mist. Ying Tian’s low laughter grew louder, veering toward manic, harsh to the ears. Every note hammered at the hearts of those kneeling Deities Templar experts.
Those familiar with Temple Preceptor Ying Tian knew that at this moment, he was beyond enraged!
More than sixty Saint realm experts! Furthermore, the majority of them were high-level Saint realm experts! All dead! Even for a hegemony force like Deities Templar, a huge loss like this hurt to the bones!
On top of everything, that Li Molin and sixty other heads were still hanging above the Sacred Tiger City’s gates, should he or should he not send people to collect them?
The whole Martial Spirit World was looking at Deities Templar like a joke!
The experts in the hall lowered their heads even further, not daring to lift them.
A while later, Ying Tian’s laughter stopped as abruptly as it started, looking coldly at the group of people below him.
“Who’s going to the Sacred Tiger City?” Ying Tian spoke.
No one made a move, no one said anything.
A malevolent black light burst in Ying Tian’s eyes, intense murderous aura turned the hall’s atmosphere into a sinking dead swamp.
The trembling figures of the experts kneeling before become even more visible.
Just when those experts felt death inching closer, the suffocating killing intent vanished as if it was never there.
“All of you, leave.” Ying Tian spoke, his voice laced with a trace of coldness, helplessness, anger, and venomous hate.
The experts swiftly complied and fled the hall. Once outside, each of them was washed with feelings of survival.
When all the experts had left, a figure walked out from the back of the hall—Li Lu.
“You make a trip to Starcloud Continent.” Ying Tian said, a sharp light glinted in his eyes.
“Yes.” Li Lu complied respectfully and retreated from the hall.
…
One month passed by in a blink.
In the end, Deities Templar did not send anyone to retrieve the heads hanging above the city wall, turning Deities Templar into an after-dinner joke. After the Beast God Shrine battle, Deities Templar’s prestigious reputation was shattered. Even the forces and families in small kingdoms like the Luo Tong Kingdom that submitted under Deities Templar rebelled one by one.
Submit to Deities Templar meant offending Huwang Xiao!
Who, at this time, in the whole Martial Spirit World dared to offend Huwang Xiao?
This one month, Huwang Xiao waited in the Sacred Tiger City, practicing the Godly Xumi Art, Asura Tactics, Body Metamorphose Scripture, Asura Asura Sword Skill, Absolute Soul Finger, Asura Demon Claw and others, going through all of his battle skills.
That time in the Ancient Dragon Clan ruins, the beastmen tribes managed to snatch two primordial divine dragon corpses, both falling into the hands of the Lion Tribe, which explained why the Lion Tribe’s Young Patriarch Jesse was searching for Dragon God Grass in the Poison Dragon Valley.
With him holding the helm, the Lion Tribe obediently offered up both primordial divine dragon corpses with smiling faces.
After refining four primordial divine dragons, Huwang Xiao had nine left, adding two more brought it up to eleven!
Eleven primordial divine dragons, if he could find enough Dragon God Grass, it could definitely help Huwang Xiao breakthrough to Tenth Order Saint realm, even reaching peak late-Tenth Order Saint realm.
Not to mention, the addition of two more primordial divine dragons would elevate his self-created skill to Fifteen Moves of the Dragon God.
Studying the additional primordial divine dragons for one month, enabled Huwang Xiao to gain new insights, smoothly incorporating them into the Thirteen Moves of the Dragon God.
One month passed, yet Deities Templar did not send anyone to collect Li Molin and the others’ heads. Bored, Huwang Xiao didn’t bother to wait anymore. All the heads turned into more nourishment for the Poison Corpse Scarabs. Reminding the Tiger Tribe Patriarch Chuck to keep an eye on Deities Templar’s movements, Huwang Xiao began his closed-door practice.
This time, Huwang Xiao decided to refine the earth dragon originally wind dragon, wood dragon, the five-clawed golden dragon as well as the Buddha dragon.
Prior to this, Huwang Xiao had refined the water dragon and fire dragon. Adding the earth dragon, wood dragon, and the five-clawed dragon, his five elements could be considered complete. Comprehending the five elements was essential to enhancing his strength to another level.
Huwang Xiao’s Godly Xumi Art was by origin a Buddhist World battle skill, refining the buddha dragon would bring unimaginable benefits in this aspect.
The first one would be the earth dragon.
The passage of time flowed, and one year went by.
In this one year’s time, the entire Martial Spirit World seemed have folded within itself, shy and quiet.
Since the Beast God Shrine battle, Deities Templar became the total opposite of its previous flamboyant self.
Even the Cosmos God Cult on the Starcloud Continent quieted down and behaved, all the way to the Bedlam Lands, where killings were an everyday occurrence, toned down. The entire Martial Spirit World’s weather seemed to center around a certain person.
Huwang Xiao!
In this one year, every force, sect, and family in the thirty-six Oblasts under the Asura’s Gate governance declared their willingness to submit under the Asura’s Gate, including those that were swaying between other forces such as the Distinct Void Door, White Phoenix House, Cosmos God Cult, and other twelve super forces.
Finally, this su
dden calm and quiet provided Emperor Duanren with much-needed breathing space from the noose that Deities Templar roped around his neck.
Two years swiftly passed.
After refining the earth dragon, Huwang Xiao continued with the wood dragon, and now he was refining the five-clawed golden dragon. At the moment, looking from the side, Huwang Xiao looked like he was cocooned inside a golden dragon.
The five-clawed golden dragon was known as the Dragon Clan’s royal blood, the highest existence amongst the fifteen primordial divine dragons Huwang Xiao had.
Two years and eight months passed.
Huwang Xiao sat cross-legged at the center of the Ten Buddha Formation, the spacious hall lit brightly with a gentle luminescence coming from the various golden Buddha images and shadows of primordial divine dragons hovering behind Huwang Xiao.
From the outside, Huwang Xiao looked as if he was coated with a layer of golden paint.
Then, without warning, his body shook violently for a second as a low crisp breaking sound was heard from inside his body, brilliant light shining through.
A terrifying force swept to every corner of the Xumi Temple.
It was a long time before the energy dissipated. The brilliant light dispersed, as did the shadows of Buddha statues and dragons.
Huwang Xiao opened his eyes, a series of crackings rang in the hall with a little stretch.
Two years and eight months, he finally refined the earth dragon, wood dragon, five-clawed golden dragon, and buddha dragon. All thirty-six stalks Dragon God Grass were used up.
Directing his spiritual sense internally to check his body's condition, the veins running through his body were akin to primordial divine dragons hovering within his flesh. His physique was twenty times sturdier than before, the battle qi in his Qi Sea was a roaring golden color, while the ten thunderballs in his dantian turned into ten gold cores that were twenty times bigger.
Ninth Order Saint realm!
Huwang Xiao’s battle qi actually broke through to the Ninth Order Saint realm!
Despite only being an early Ninth Order, Huwang Xiao felt as if he was overlooking the world, invincible throughout! This was confidence born from distinct real power! His physical body surpassed any godly weapon!
