Chapter 743 – Desolate Royal Territory
Wu Guangyu let go of his previous worries. After some thought, it made sense. He could tell at a glance that the guy that had come out was only at the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage at most. How could a weakling sully an Eighth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator who had a divine weapon like the Shapeless Whip?
Could an ant sully an elephant?
Of course not.
So Wu Guangyu let go of his concerns and did not blame Feng Zhilin anymore. But there was one thing. The Wind and Divine clans were part of the same faction, so the stronger Feng Zhilin was, the more beneficial she was to him. Feng Zhilin initially had the great potential of becoming a superstrong cultivator, and she even had a chance to be on the same level as himself. It was a pity that she had missed this chance.
It was an amazing opportunity to get both the Martial God Tombstone and the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance, yet it had been snatched away by an unknown figure. What a pity!
Although Wu Guangyu did not speak, he mocked her in his heart. Other than Mother, it is indeed true that very few females are competent at all. I initially had high hopes for Feng Zhilin, but it looks like she’s a complete idiot. It was such a good opportunity, yet it was snatched away by a Third Earthly Martial Stage weakling.
After Feng Zhilin was silent for a while, she said, “That guy. You know him. You’ve met him before.”
“I’ve met him before?” Now it was Wu Guangyu’s turn to be stunned. Exasperated, he asked, “Where would I have met such a weak cultivator? Are you joking?”
Then he laughed.
Feng Zhilin did not laugh. She looked past him at Xiaolang, then she smirked coldly and said, “I’m not joking. You snatched this demonic wolf away from him. Didn’t you also let him run away?”
After Wu Guangyu heard her, a person popped into his mind. He’d long forgotten about him. When Feng Zhilin mentioned it, he finally recalled Long Chen and was immediately shocked. What Feng Zhilin had said was hard to believe.
“That brat was him? How is it possible that he had the ability to pull that off? Impossible, impossible ...”
“Hehe. And he even said that he’ll take revenge on you one day.” Feng Zhilin paused. Her brows were furrowed as she walked, then she said, “He has the Profound Golden Soul, so he can burrow through the ground in the Metal District. The moment he goes above ground or enters another district, he won’t be able to run. The Metal District is almost entirely considered the Wind clan’s territory. I’m going back to Giant Metal City. I’ll ask my grandfather to summon all the men and horses of the Wind clan to search for Long Chen. Since you’ve just arrived and you don’t have any matters at hand, come help me take back the Martial God Tombstone and the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance!
Wu Guangyu was still in shock. He recalled what Long Chen once said to him. At the time, he thought of it as a joke, but now he saw that this guy had extraordinary luck and mental fortitude. If he really got hold of the Martial God Tombstone and the inheritance, perhaps he would actually become a problem to him.
Long Chen trekked deeper into Wood District.
It had been more than two months since he arrived in the Ancient Graveyard. Most people were scattered in various corners of the Ancient Graveyard, searching for treasures. Unless he went to cities like the Iron Cities, it would be difficult to meet anyone.
There were many demonic beasts in the Wood District, but Long Chen had the Soul Swallowing Gaze, so he could easily avoid them. Many were Category Six and Seven King-tier beasts, even as high as Category Eight!
If ordinary cultivators without the Soul Swallowing Gaze approached them recklessly, they would surely die. Long Chen could travel safely because of it.
Nothing with a soul could escape his sight.
Long Chen spotted a Category Three King-tier demonic beast just five hundred meters away. It was not strong enough to be a threat to him, so he approached bravely. When he did, he was astonished to find that the beast was an ancient tree that stood tall on the ground.
I never thought that a plant could also undergo demonification to become a demonic beast. Long Chen peered at it curiously. In some obscure parts of the tree, he spotted the beast’s eyes, ears, and other body parts. These features were a little different from those of humans and other demonic beasts, but in general, it had everything an ordinary beast had.
It looks like this is just a demonic beast with plant skin. Internally, it’s basically the same as other demonic beasts.
Demonic beasts at the King-tier and above could take on a human form. Long Chen waited for a while and saw the ancient tree suddenly turn into a human. It was ugly in human form, with many tree-like features. Even its hair was made of green leaves. It looked both grotesque and cartoonish.
There really are all sorts of oddities in this world, mused Long Chen.
Little Cat chuckled and said, “You know too little. You think demonic beasts are just powerful wild beasts. You don’t know that one of the Three Royal Territories, the Desolate Royal Territory, is completely controlled by demonic beasts, though they call themselves the demon race! The demon race is a terrifying race to you. There are ten thousand species and they all have their own talents. In theory, the Desolate Royal Territory is actually the most powerful of the three. The other two Royal Territories are ruled over by humans, while the Desolate Royal Territory only has demonic beasts. The other two Royal Territories have not been able to achieve unity, yet the demon race independently rules over an area. Do you understand how extraordinary that is?”
“Desolate Royal Territory?” Long Chen was surprised. He had never heard of this before. After demonic beasts reached the King-tier, they could take on a human form, thus calling themselves the demon race. Almost all the demonic beasts in the Desolate Royal Territory could take human form. The stronger they were, the more they resembled humans.
“Just like this tree. In the Desolate Royal Territory, there is a very powerful type of beast called the Ancient Life Tree race. They have a certain immortal quality, wherein they can come back to life despite being chopped into multiple sections. Legends say that the Ancient Life Tree race possesses the blood of one of the Ten Ancestral Dragons, the Dragon of Life and Creation, in their veins ...”
Long Chen started to look forward to getting there. He could tell that that was the largest stage there was in the whole Dragon Continent, where the demon and human races fought for power. Millions of races were present there. Those who gathered at the Three Royal Territories were the true masters!
