Chapter 579: The Tragic Story of the Evil Eye Tyrant

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

The exciting and inspiring moment had finally come!

People like the Corpse Wizard King and Dark Dragon King were gathered to look. Even the Six-winged Angel Leader Ophelia, who had left for the faraway desert after dawn to preach the religion, had rushed back after finding out the news. Before, only a few mid to low-level Magical Beasts were placed in the Beast Soul Altar. They had never tried to place a Magical Beast of the caliber of a Level Surpassing Magical Beast. No one knew what kind of powerful Magical Beast would emerge after combining with the Level Surpassing Six-eyed Metal Back Lion.

“My Lord, combine the Six-eyed Metal Back Lion with other Magical Beasts, or first...” Looking at the few hundred Six-eyed Metal Back Lions and the uncountable Evil Eyes, Augustus was a bit hesitant.

After successfully advancing to another level and successively leveling the altar up three times to a Mid-level altar, Augustus might be able to control the direction of change of the Magical Beast theoretically, but without a long period of study and much experimentation, he was not clear on many details. Without careful consideration, if he were to just mix the Metal Back Lion and Evil Eyes together, he would not know in that moment what kind of creature would be created. It could be a mutant Magical Beast with power at the peak of the Domain, or it could even be a completely useless piece of rubbish!

Compared to a mixed combination, if he were to combine over a dozen Metal Back Lions, it would be comparatively simpler. Even if there was a possibility of failure, but the possibility of success was higher in comparison. Of course, the chances of getting a powerful mutant would also be lowered.

“Augustus, I only want to get a powerful Magical Beast. However, it should be done is up to you!” Yang Ling sat on the old-fashioned wooden armchair that the Six-winged Angel Ophelia had brought over, while speaking, leaving it all up to Augustus to handle.

“Yes, your subordinate understands!” Augustus received the command with a bow. After a moment of silence, he commanded people to put twenty Evil Eyes on the altar and chanted the mantra to activate the altar at the same moment. He was preparing first further to familiarize himself with the upgraded altar, and further explore the characteristics of the Evil Eyes, greatly surprising everyone.

What creature would emerge by combining twenty Evil Eyes together?

Looking at the black fog created in that instant, and the rapidly spinning Beast Soul Altar, the people whispered among themselves, discussing what would come out of the combination in low voices.

“Every Evil Eye has one big eye, and if twenty Evil Eyes are combined, they definitely will become a mutant Evil Eye with twenty big eyes!” The Giant Ape King loudly said his own prediction in a muffled voice.

“Chey, you big stupid ape. A female Spider has a row of teats. If a thousand spiders were to be combined, according to you, then wouldn’t the resulting fellow have a few thousand teats hanging off its stomach?” the Flying Dragon Seylius spoke while hitting the Giant Ape King on his head, full of smiles.

“Kekeke, that’s right. If it really was so simple, then if tens of thousands of donkeys were to be combined, then won’t the fellow who emerged have tens of thousands of big things?” The Corpse Wizard King smiled lecherously. “Tsk tsk, if the tens of thousands of big things were to do it together, not to mention a female donkey, even a female dragon will not be able to take it!”

“Go to hell, then just let tens of thousands of female Corpse Wizards to take it!” the Dark Dragon King rebutted.

...

Everyone added a word here, a sentence there, getting more and more outrageous. Under the influence of the Corpse Wizard King, each theory became dirtier than the next, getting more explicit the more that was said. Not to mention the Sea Demoness Eliza, even Ophelia and Hydra were blushing from what was being said. Only the Demoness did not seem to mind, laughing out loud once in a while and wiggling her brows flirtatiously.

Low class, simply too low class!

Looking at the Corpse Wizard King who was full of lecherous smiles, Yang Ling shook his head, secretly thinking if he should find a housekeeper of a wife for this old pervert. Anyway, according to the unique sense of aesthetic the Corpse Wizard King had, the woman need not be too attractive, it would be fine if her behind was big enough.

Just as the people, including the Corpse Wizard King and the Dark Dragon King were happily bickering, the Beast Soul Altar spun slower and slower, quickly stopping. The thick black fog also quickly dissipated. However, apart from a pool of blood, the altar was empty, with nothing in it. Not to mention a powerful mutant Magical Beast, there was not even any rubbish inside.

“This... What is going on?” the Corpse Wizard King asked what everyone was thinking, was staring, slack-jawed in puzzlement.

“Maybe... Maybe the Battle Power of the twenty Evil Eyes are exactly the same, so they were unable to absorb each other, therefore they all...” Augustus was so embarrassed that his whole face was red, not expecting for his first experiment in front of everyone to fail so miserably.

“Don’t worry, try again. Don’t put in twenty Evil Eyes. Just directly put 200 inside!” Even though he was a bit disappointed, Yang Ling was still greatly supportive of Augustus.

Now, there were plenty of Evil Eyes within the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. Not to mention 200, even if he were to take out 2000 for experimentation, it would not be a problem. In order to get a powerful mutant Magical Beast, he had already spent so many top-quality Crystals and Magical Beast Essence Crystals to level up the altar, why would he care about a few low-level Evil Eyes?

“My Lord, wait, can you...” Augustus hesitated for a while, before continuing to speak, “The bigger the disparity among the power of the same type of Magical Beasts, the more beneficial it would be for them to absorb the other and combine successfully. Could you let the most powerful Evil Eye swallow a few drops of the Water of the Spring of Life, to improve its power further?”

“No problem. Ophelia, give all the Water of the Spring of Life collected over these past few days to Augustus!” After thinking for a moment, Yang Ling immediately supported the idea. If they were able to find a way to control the direction of mutation of the Magical Beasts, not to mention using a few drops of the Water of the Spring of Life, even if he were to use a few bottles, it would be worth it.

As the people watched on nervously, Augustus fed the most powerful Evil Eye a few drops of the Water of the Spring of Life. Thereafter, he chanted the activation mantra again, to start the Beast Soul Altar.

.

Howl...

After half an hour, the Beast Soul Altar stopped spinning, and a roar was heard from the inside. Very quickly, a monster appeared in front of the others.

Its head was as big as a cup, but its body was only as thick as a water bottle. On the left and right side of its body there was a slim tentacle on each side. It looked no different from an ordinary Evil Eye. But the one eye on its forehead was bigger by about a third of its original size, radiating a halo of faint silver light. Its whole head simply looked like one odd, big eye.

A reinforced version of a mortar thrower?

Looking at the huge eye on the creature, and looking at the ripples of silver light, Yang Ling had a sudden thought, and commanded it to attack a towering tree that was not too far away.

Rumble...

The creature attacked on command, and a silver ball of light the thickness of about the mouth of a bowl shot past in the sky, and with a rumble, it went straight through the towering tree, which had the circumference of about ten people hugging it. It was unknown how many times stronger its attack was many compared to an ordinary Evil Eye, but it had the power of at least a level six Magical Beast.

A few drops of the Water of the Spring of Life and 200 level three Evil Eyes could be exchanged for a mutant Evil Eye that had the power of a level six Magical Beast. If he were to put in 2000 Evil Eyes at one time, what kind of Magical Beast would he get?

Yang Ling was overjoyed. Just as he was getting ready to command that 2000 Evil Eyes be put in at one go, the Evil Eye Tyrant at the side stepped forwards, voluntarily asking to be put in the Altar. “My Lord, no matter how hard I train, I am not able to advance in level anymore. Let me go in. This is my only way to level up now!”

The Evil Eye Tyrant was very determined. Even if he were to die on the altar, he wanted to take a gamble!

Back then, when Yang Ling did not have many Magical Beasts by his side, the Evil Eye Tyrant had led the Evil Eyes army and served with distinction in the battles, and had limitless glory! But now, as the high-level Magical Beasts by Yang Ling’s side grew more and more, his military exploits grew less and less. Bit by bit, he was pushed to the sidelines of the Magical Beast army.

In order to regain the glory of yesteryears, the Evil Eye Tyrant trained hard day and night. Unfortunately due to the limitations of his body, no matter how hard he tried, it was hard for him to advance a level again. No matter how many Essence Crystals he swallowed, it was of no use. Now there was a chance to level up, how could he bear to let it go?

“The Beast Soul Altar is very dangerous. No one is sure if it will succeed. If an accident were to happen, no one will be able to help you too, are you sure you want to go in?” Looking at the Evil Eyed Tyrant who, once a upon a time, had served with distinction in battles in his stead, kneeling in front of him, Yang Ling frowned.

The Horned Bee Beasts and Evil Eyes were his two aces when he was starting out on his own. Even though the Magical Beasts he had now were countless, these two types of Magical Beasts still held a special place in his heart — especially the Evil Eye Tyrant, who he had personally groomed. In his heart, its position was not lower than people like the Dark Dragon King or Flying Dragon King. He had also worried over the Evil Eye Tyrant’s advancement in level. Without being a hundred percent sure, he did not wish to let the Evil Eye Tyrant take the risk personally.

Now, there were many Evil Eyes in the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. But there was only one Evil Eye Tyrant!

“My Lord, I’m willing. Even if I am to die on the altar, I’m also willing!” The Evil Eye Tyrant was very determined. The Beast Soul Altar was his only chance to level up quickly. No matter how dangerous, he also wanted to take the gamble.

“Okay, this is black Crystal Marrow, swallow a few more drops!” while speaking, Yang Ling stretched his hand to retrieve the Black Crystal Marrow.

From the Soul Seal deep within the Evil Tyrant’s mind, he clearly understood why the Evil Eye Tyrant wanted to take the gamble with his life, and realized how much suffering he endured in order to advance in level, and understood why he was so determined. After giving a silent sigh, he did not say anything more.

“Thank you, my Lord!” The Evil Eye Tyrant candidly swallowed ten drops of Black Crystal Marrow in a row. After respectfully bowing to Yang Ling, he stepped onto the Beast Soul Altar without turning back. In order to advance in level, and in order to get great power, even if he were to die on the altar, he would also be without regret!

At first, he was only an ordinary, low-level Evil Eye which was a called chicken rib Magical Beast by other people. It was Yang Ling who gave him new life and allowed him to understand that even the weakest Evil Eye would be able to express great Battle Power if they were to stand united. It was Yang Ling who bestowed great power upon him, allowing him to serve with distinction in battle after battle, winning unprecedented respect and position of power in the history of the Evil Eye Tribe.

There were some things that one would only know how precious, only after having lost them!

In order to defend the Evil Eyes’ honor, and in order to be able to be by Yang Ling’s side forever, the Evil Eye Tyrant was willing to give up everything. Not to mention an altar, even if it was a sea of fire, he would also not hesitate!
