Chapter 480 - Magical Beast Dimension
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After Yang Ling intercepted the demoness using his evasion technique at the critical moment, severely injuring her before successfully subjugating her, the threat that came from the army of Groundhogs was naturally resolved! Not only did he obtain a Groundhog King that was about to advance to become a Divine-level Magical Beast, but he also obtained an army of Groundhogs with millions of soldiers!
The strength of an individual Groundhog was nothing impressive. However, if a hundred, or even a thousand of them would swarm forward together, the scene would be rather intimidating, rather magnificent!
Leading the group to the peak of Mount Gya, looking at the Groundhogs littered all over the place, seeing how they were respectfully groveling on the ground, Yang Ling felt spirited, full of confidence in toppling Saint Peter Castle. Even if he did not employ the tactic of digging tunnels and initiating a surprise attack, just instructing the army of Groundhogs to swarm forward would be enough to drown Saint Peter Castle!
No matter how strong the Magical Towers of the castle were, there would come a time when their energy was depleted. No matter how powerful the soldiers in the castle were, it would be difficult for them to stay alive after the combined attacks of thousands of Groundhogs!
“Sala, how many Groundhogs do you have by your side?” Looking at the army of Groundhogs that seemed to span forever, Yang Ling let out a wide smile. Even though he had obtained the memories of the demoness after subjugating her, the number of memories she had was too large and too messy. He did not have the time or energy to slowly sort out the information he needed.
“Master, there are just too many Groundhogs in the Ural Mountain Range. No one is clear as to just how many Groundhogs there are!” After glancing fleetingly at Yang Ling, the demoness weakly grasped her perky breasts, coquettishly saying, “However, there are not many Groundhogs that have evolved to level seven or above, only about five thousand of them!”
Only five thousand?
Seeing the demoness act as though that was a small number, Yang Ling was a little speechless. If he whipped out all five thousand of the high-level Groundhogs, he would have no problems paving a path of blood all the way to the Holy City, much less break apart Saint Peter Castle. If that number was considered little, then the Spellcasters in the continent who could only summon one or two Magical Beasts should be too embarrassed. They might as well commit suicide!
“Sala, that… Call me ‘Sir’ like the rest in the future, don’t call me ‘Master’!” Looking at the demoness’s sexy upper body, then thinking about her lower body that was more terrifying than a demon, Yang Ling felt a chill in his heart even though his expression did not change, speaking as he sneakily shifted to the side.
If it was the six-winged Angel Leader Ophilia who was tenderly calling him ‘Master’ and tossing him flirtatious looks, that was naturally something any man would enjoy. However, being electrified by this transvestite demoness was basically a form of torture. It was an extreme test of whatever a person’s mind and heart could take. Yang Ling felt that his mind was strong, but he could not accept this demoness calling him ‘Master’ all day long.
“En… Sir!” The demoness replied to him softly after looking at Yang Ling with her large teary eyes. She then tossed a coquettish look at the Dark Dragon King, who had turned into a muscular bloke by the side, making the fearless Dark Dragon King tremble as he fled to the side as if he was avoiding a plague. Even the Corpse Wizard King, who was proud of his evildoings, could not tolerate the look the demoness gave him, giving an excuse saying that he was going to observe the terrain before teleporting far way. Only the Giant Ape King did not avert his gaze, standing behind Yang Ling without moving.
To him, there were only two kinds of women, either they were hairy, or they were not. According to the beauty standards of the Giant Apes, they disregarded any women without hair like the demoness. His nerves are larger than even the Swiss Canal, and cargo ships weighing ten thousand tons could probably pass through!
“That’s right, Sala, that thing on your body… Just what is going on?” While he was disgusted, Yang Ling was also curious as to the oddities of the demoness’s body. He deliberated for a moment before saying, “Tell me your problems, and we could think of a way to solve them together. Looking the way you are right now is not a solution!”
“Sir, actually, I…” The eyes of the demoness turned red. She told the group her story after organizing her thoughts.
As it turned out, tens of thousands of years ago, she was but a little Groundhog, digging around in the primordial forest within the Ural Mountain Range in search of edible food. Back then, to her, being able to find a few acorns every day to alleviate her hunger was her greatest joy. Being able to find a female rodent and spending his life together with her was a luxury. Even being able to commit sexual acts before she slept was a blessing.
Even after tens of thousands of years had passed, Sala could not forget that rainy night when she was hungry and cold. Without that accident, she might have long turned to dust, her fate the same as any other Groundhog!
That night, the torrential rain that had continued for three full days did not end, the flood rushing out from deep within the Ural Mountain Range, sweeping away the Magical Beasts who did not manage to flee their homeland in time. Some of the creatures struggled in the water, and some were completely dead, their bodies cold. Some even had their bodies smashed to bits by giant rocks.
After the hole she hid in got filled by the water of the flood, Sala was both cold and hungry, having no choice but to head out in the middle of the night to search for something edible. After making her way around a small stream with rapidly rising waters, she found a python that had already lost its life. More surprisingly, there was a deep wound on the stomach of the giant python, and she found a sparkling ball of meat that released waves of warm energy. In her hunger, she consumed the meat without hesitation, and thus, her life took a large turn.
Several years later, she realized that the sparkling ball of meat that she had consumed was the Essence Crystal of the giant python!
After consuming the Essence Crystal of the giant python, the body of the ignorant Sala underwent drastic changes. She could easily crush even the sturdiest crystals with her bite, and she could tear apart the scales of many ferocious beasts with her claws. She was getting stronger and faster. Slowly, she became the most powerful Groundhog within the radius of several dozen miles. After witnessing the benefits, she became filled with desire for the Essence Crystals of other Magical Beasts and would frequently lead a bunch of Groundhogs in initiating surprise attacks against defenseless Magical Beasts before consuming their Magical Beast Essence Crystals. Just as she expected, the more Essence Crystals she consumed, the stronger she got. However, a nightmare followed.
Unknowingly, she became less interested in the female rodents and felt more and more favorably of the brave, fierce male rodents in the tribe. It was already too late when she sensed that something was off! After advancing to become a Level Surpassing Magical Beast, she could finally take on a human form. However, sadly, her upper body became her pride, while her lower body made her want to kill herself!
Did she get too much testosterone after recklessly consuming the Essence Crystals of various Magical Beasts, or were her hormones out of whack?
Looking at the beautiful weeping demoness, Yang Ling let out a bitter smile. Anyone would be disgusted if they saw the transvestite demoness, but he could not have expected the other party would have such a bitter story behind her. She obtained immense power, but she lost her true self!
“If you were given another chance, do you hope to be a proud man or a gentle lady?” Looking at the heartbroken demoness, Yang ling took out a handkerchief from within his Space Ring and gently passed it over. This handkerchief was something the little lass prepared for him, but he had had no use for it. He did not expect that it would be useful in such a situation.
According to the explanation on the Stele, after a Great Soul Wizard cultivated his abilities to the level of a Soul Wizard, he could not only be able to learn more powerful Soul Wizard Techniques, he would also come into contact with several secondary techniques. Perhaps, he would be able to find a way within the vast sea of Wizard Techniques to change Sala’s appearance when that time comes!
“Woman, Sir, I want to become a true woman. I am willing to pay any price!” The demoness had a firm attitude, speaking as she groveled in front of Yang Ling. After being tamed by Yang Ling, through the Soul Imprint deep within her mind, she realized that Yang Ling was more powerful than she had imagined. If she received the help of her master, Yang Ling, perhaps becoming a true woman, would not be a far off dream.
“As you wish, stand up, there would be a way to do that someday!” Even though he did not know how to at the moment, but Yang Ling gave a blank promise without hesitation, giving the demoness a beautiful dream. According to the memories of the demoness, he understood that the main reason for the other party’s promiscuity was that she had no hope for the future, spending each of her days more wasted than the last.
“Sir, perhaps Sala might be able to achieve her dream shortly!” The six-winged Angel Leader Ophilia said something shocking, pausing for a moment before continuing, “A long time ago, I once descended onto a mysterious Magical Beast Dimension. Whenever a Magical Beast advanced to become a Divine-level Magical Beast there, they could alter their bodies at will through an ability called the Heavenly Cocoon Transformation!”
The Heavenly Cocoon Transformation from the Magical Beast Dimension?
With Ophilia’s reminder, Yang Ling quickly thought about the dimension ruled by Magical Beasts he had seen in her memories, remembering the technique used to transform she had talked about in the past. There, both the land and sea were several hundred times, or even several thousand times larger than what they had in the Tailun Continent, with countless Magical Beasts of endless varieties. After advancing to become a Divine-level Magical Beast, they could either choose to continue training in their original body or change their physical appearance. The could even turn into a person with two genders, much less change their gender. Of course, to most Magical Beasts, there was only one chance to change their appearance; If they missed the instant where they advanced to become a Divine-level Magical Beast, it would be very difficult for them to change their appearance in the future even if they want to!
The Magical Beast Dimension has existed for a billion years and had a stable structure as compared to the Tailun Continent, where the space structure was still rather unstable. The dimension could allow the angels to descend with their main bodies. As a six-winged Angel Leader, Ophilia had once descended onto the dimension leading a team of angels with their main bodies and captured a few powerful Divine-level Magical Beasts back to the City Amongst the Clouds. At that time, she had also unintentionally obtained the method of transformation, the so-called Heavenly Cocoon Transformation.
Having existed for tens of thousands of years, she had been to countless dimensions, her comprehensive sea of memories impossibly large. If he did not flip through the memories closely, Yang Ling would not have known of such a miraculous ability. After a moment’s deliberation, he directly imparted the memories regarding the Heavenly Cocoon Transformation to the demoness and allowed her to cultivate the technique and make the preparations as early as possible.
As the most powerful Groundhog in the history of the Ural Mountain Range, the demoness could not only command all of the Groundhogs in the area, she was also just one step away from advancing to become a Divine-level Magical Beast. After this, as long as Yang Ling thought of a way to get her a few Essence Crystals from Level Surpassing Magical Beasts, she might be able to evolve and become the first Divine-level Magical Beast in the Magical Beast Army!
