Chapter 515: Great Incorporation of Magical Beasts

Yang Ling understood gradually what a Beast Soul Warrior was thanks to the Great Dark Elder’s explanation.

It turned out that other regions’ Magical Beasts were quite different. The Magical Beasts in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils possessed an unusually strong Soul Energy and outstanding Innate Gifts. For example, a Third Level Red-haired Tarantula in Tailun Continent would be able to drill into the grounds and launch a series of Earth Thorns. But, a similar Red-haired Tarantula in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils would be able to launch a series of Earth Thorn with a larger scope and greater range.

Moreover, a Third Level Horned Bee Beast in Tailun Continent would only be able to shoot three Venomous Stings in a single day, while the same Third Level Horned Bee Beast in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils would be able to shoot a dozen or even tens Venomous Stings in a single day.

The Magical Beasts in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils possessed the same gift as Magical Beasts in other regions, but those gifts were strengthened by a dozen or tens folds. Moreover, some powerful Magical Beasts could even undergo a mutation that would raise their power drastically.

Magical Beast’s Essence Crystals had many usages. They could be used to build Magical Formation Spell, Magic Staff, and they could also be used to strengthen Magical Spells’ might. But in ordinary situations, people weren’t able to directly use the energy contained within the Essence Crystals.

However, the Essence Crystals of the Magical Beasts in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils were quite different, and humans could fuse with them smoothly through a special method. They would then become a Beast Soul Wizard. They wouldn’t just get the energy contained within the Essence Crystal. There was also a slight probability of getting that said Magical Beast’s Innate Gift.

For example, if someone devoured an Earth Violent Bear’s Essence Crystal, there was a chance that he would get the Bloodthirsty Berserk Transformation Gift, and if one fused with a Lightning Bird’s Essence Crystal, he might get the ability to cast Lightning Magic instantly, and the same could be said about other Magical Beasts.

“Even the Essence Crystals of ordinary Magical Beasts in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils are so amazing. So, if one got a divine beast’s Godhead, wouldn’t it be more awesome.” Yang Ling was quite confused, and he paused for a moment before he spoke, “Moreover, why I have never seen Beast Soul Warriors in Tailun Continent even though they are so powerful?”

“There is a slight probability to get an ordinary Magical Beast’s innate gift by fusing with its Essence Crystal, and if one fused with a divine beast’s Godhead, there is a chance that he will quickly comprehend the Worldly Laws grasped by it.” The Great Dark Elder chuckled and spoke, “There is a Teleportation Gate leading to the Graveyard of Gods and Devils in the Northern Glacier, but it can only be opened one time every thousand years, and it will be left open for just half a year.

“In addition, the Teleportation Gate is filled with berserk energy like a spatial crevice, and one who doesn’t possess God-Level Power won’t manage to pass through it. After a God-Level Expert enters the Graveyard of Gods and Devils, he will have limited time, and this is why he won’t waste his time and energy on ordinary Magical Beasts.”

“That isn’t right, even if the God-Level Experts that entered the Graveyard of Gods and Devils didn’t have time to waste, it would still be easy for people with their power to kill several Magical Beasts in passing. It should be impossible that not even a single Beast Soul Warrior appeared on the continent for the past innumerable years.” Yang Ling detected keenly that the Great Elder kept something from him.

Sure enough! When the Three Heads of Darkness heard Yang Ling, they exchanged a glance and got quiet for a moment. The Great Dark Elder said, “That is right. The God-Level Experts that entered the Graveyard of Gods and Devils will get some ordinary Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystals. But, they don’t have our Dark Association’s special Training Mantra, and it doesn’t matter how many Essence Crystals an ordinary person got.”

“In addition, every time, all Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystals gotten by the Dark Association will be offered to the King of Darkness. This is why Beast Soul Warriors are rarely seen in the continent for the past innumerable years.”

The Great Dark Elder quieted for a moment and said, “In these two days, a large-scale plague appeared in the northern part of the continent where the Holy Alliance was situated, and it caused the death of innumerable people, while the Spatial Crevice of the Gold Coast suffered an intense turbulence that allowed the Nine-Headed Python King to come here forcefully. I suspect that the Pope is playing tricks in the dark.”

“If our Dark Association was in its peak state, we wouldn’t be afraid of his plots, but we have suffered heavy damage, and if we aren’t careful, we may be routed thoroughly. This is why we want to seize the opportunity to enter into the Graveyard of Gods and Devils to get a large number of Magical Beast’s Essence Crystals and quickly train a group of Beast Soul Warriors that will protect our resources.”

“Great Elder, what you are implying is that you want me to put an all-out effort to help you hunt Magical Beasts for their Essence Crystals after I enter the Graveyard of Gods and Devils, is it so?” Yang Ling understood everything. He finally understood the Dark Great Elder’s implication and the objective behind his trip.

“That is right. After we enter the Graveyard of Gods and Devils, we will carry out a different mission, and we don’t have time to hunt Magical Beasts for their Essence Crystals. This is why we can only ask for your help. We don’t want a large number, and it’s enough to help us get 2000 Essence Crystals of Magical Beasts at the Seventh Level and higher.” When the Great Dark Elder recalled the Oracle suddenly sent down by the King of Darkness, he revealed a wry smile and worry appeared on his face.

“2000 pieces?” Yang Ling shook his head and smiled bitterly. “I have less than half a year of time. So, how can I help you hunt 2000 High-Level Magical Beasts at the Seventh Level and higher by myself?

“None is probably able to do so other than a strange Summoner like you.” The Great Dark Elder chuckled. “The energy in the Northern Glacier’s Spatial Gate is devastating, and people who don’t possess God-Level power can’t get inside. But, after you reach the Graveyard of Gods and Devils, you won’t have any restrictions, and you can summon the Magical Beast Army to help you.”

“We won’t ask you to help us for free, and we will do our utmost to help you seal the spatial crevice. In addition, this is the Beast Soul Warrior’s Training Spell. You can take it. We just want 2,000 Essence Crystals of Magical Beasts at the Seventh Level and higher, and you can leave the rest for yourself. You can use them to raise a group of Beast Soul Warriors that will protect your domain.”

As the Great Dark Elder spoke, he carefully took a Memory Crystal from his pockets. He put it in Yang Ling without any hesitation as compensation. After all, the Graveyard of Gods and Devils’ entry was a rare opportunity that would arise one time every thousand years, and Yang Ling that would hunt Magical Beasts for their Essence Crystals would miss many opportunities. If they didn’t offer him enough compensation, it wouldn’t matter how good their relationship and they wouldn’t embarrass him with this.

“Great Elder, as a matter of fact, the Beast Soul Warriors aren’t too significant to me. Our Magical Beast Territory’s main force is Magical Beasts, and we don’t have to take this roundabout way.” Yang Ling skimmed over the Memory Crystal’s content quickly and collected it carelessly. “However, I still won’t look for Divine Weapons and Godheads, and I will do my utmost to help you because we are friends, and we have to deal with our common enemy. I will hunt Magical Beasts and get 2,000 Essence Crystals of high-level Magical Beasts for you.”

Even though Yang Ling expressed that he was embarrassed by this, he already came up with a plan to his satisfaction. He could summon the Magical Beast Army to fight for him in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils, and getting 2,000 Essence Crystals of high-level Magical Beasts wasn’t an issue for him. He could hunt ordinary Magical Beasts for their Essence Crystals while looking for Ancient Gods and Devils’ Divine Weapons and Godhead. Half a year wasn’t a long period, but it was more than enough to hunt 2,000 Magical Beasts.

The Beast Soul Warrior’s Training Mantra wasn’t useful to the Magical Beast Army, but he could use it to train the Wizard Sect’s Outer Sanctum Disciples, and quickly raise the Wizard Sect’s power and influence.

In addition, people had a single chance to enter that place every thousand years, but it was a different case for him. He had a Teleportation Gate, and he could teleport there anytime he wanted as long as he left his Soul Imprint in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils. He could enter and leave freely, and when all the people who entered the Graveyard of Gods and Devils left, he could search it slowly by himself, and he could then look for Ancient Gods and Devils’ Divine Weapons and Godheads.

The most important for Yang Ling in this entry to the Graveyard of Gods and Devils wasn’t hunting down Magical Beasts or finding Divine Weapons and Godheads, but quickly familiarizing himself with the environment and leaving a safe and hidden Soul Imprint there.

After the Three Heads of Darkness rested for a while, they started taking actions. They consumed a large amount of Divine Power and Premium Crystal Ores to set up an Ancient Magical Formation Spell and helped Yang Ling seal the unstable spatial crevice.

They also helped him repair the large-scale Teleportation Formation Spell that was deliberately destroyed by the Church before they left. Thus, if anything unexpected occurred again to the spatial crevice, the Three Heads of Darkness could teleport here from the Dark Association’s headquarters, and they wouldn’t have to fly for ten thousand miles again.

“Yang Ling, all kinds of signs demonstrated that the Pope has gone crazy and he’s probably concocting a great plot. What is worse is that Mr. Raymond had already left Tailun Continent to get ready for the trip to the Graveyard of Gods and Devils. If any accident occurs, we may not even be able to protect ourselves. So, you must be careful in this period.” When the Great Dark Elder recalled the strange incidents that occurred recently in succession, he got worried, and he warned Yang Ling again before leaving.

“Elder, thanks for your warning. Since the old Pope is going crazier, it’s obvious that he’s closer to his death.” After Yang Ling tamed the Nine-Headed Python King smoothly with power at the peak of the Mid-Level Deity Stage, the Magical Beast Army’s power rose drastically, and Yang Ling knew that as long as a powerful High-Level Deity didn’t come after him, it wouldn’t matter how many Mid-Level Deities like the Great Templar Elder came, and they would just throw their lives in vain.

“That is right, if the old Pope carries out any crazy and stupid matter, we won’t even have to fight, as even Mr. Raymond won’t let him off the hook.” When the Great Dark Elder recalled the powerful Fire God Raymond, he became more at ease, and he bid farewell at Yang Ling before walking toward the Teleportation Gate in the vicinity. As a white radiance flickered, he quickly disappeared.

“Your lordship, we have already mobilized Magic Crystal Cannons and Dragon-Bone Carriages here. When will we enter the valley and exterminate the pythons there?”

The Corpse Wizard King strode to ask for instructions. A bloodstained gauze was around his forehead, and his eyes were bloodshot, while he still gnashed his teeth. 100 Munchlaxes provided care to the Magical Beasts in time, and this was why the Magical Beast Army didn’t suffer great casualties. But, innumerable beasts were injured, and after the Magic Crystal Cannons and Dragon-Bone Carriages were transferred here quickly, the Corpse Wizard King desired to quickly carry out a massacre in the valley and exterminate the snakes there.

“Rodriguez, other people can rush over there to give vent to their anger, but you are the Magical Beast Army’s commander, and you are a Corpse Wizard King that had once commanded an army of a million troops. You shouldn’t let hatred blind your eyes.” Yang Ling looked at the withered Corpse Wizard King and paused for a moment. “Those pythons are quite powerful, and they have many Level Surpassing Magical Beasts. Since the Nine-Headed Python King has already surrounded and paid allegiance to us, those pythons will become a knife in our hands. So, why do we have to exterminate them stupidly?”

As Yang Ling spoke, he summoned the Nine-Headed Python King Hydra that was recuperating in the Wizard Pagoda. Yang Ling managed to quickly incorporate the snakes into the Magical Beast Army with the Python King’s help, and after he counted them carefully, he discovered that there were 10 Six-Headed Pythons with a Level Surpassing Magical Beast’s power and 5000 pythons with a power at the same level as Seventh Level Magical Beasts and higher. As for small snakes with Low-Level Magical Beasts’ power, they were too many to count.

Even if they ignored the Nine-Headed Python King with power at the peak of the Mid-Level Deity Stage, incorporating this knot of snakes alone would raise the Magical Beast Army’s power by another level. The Pope that was in a land tens thousand miles from them would have never imagined that he wouldn’t just be unable to trouble Yang Ling with the spatial crevice’s turbulence he had caused in the dark. Instead, he had even offered Yang Ling a generous gift.
