Magical Beast Divine Branch?

When the Heavy Water Core Deity, Pusius, saw the bloodthirsty and ferocious Mother Empress and Golden Roc, he suddenly recalled the Magical Beast Divine Branch, whose ominous fame had recently spread widely.

The Heavy Water Domain was very far from the Giant Dragon Mountain Range, but he was facing the ferocious and bloodthirsty Magical Beast Divine Branch, and this little distance didn’t bring him any feeling of safety. At first, Pusius planned to train in seclusion for a while longer and practice the Heavy Water Domain to the apex before strengthening his defenses. He planned to do this to avoid suffering the threat of the Magical Beast Divine Branch’s large expansion. He didn’t expect at all that Yang Ling would attack so quickly.

“You… You have mounted a sneak attack on a Divine Branch and violated the rules. The adjudicators… the adjudicators won’t let you off the hook!” Pusius said very feebly, with his eyes opened wide. He couldn’t accept dying this way, at the hands of the Magical Beast Divine Branch.

“Rules are man-made. As for the adjudicators… If they don’t seek us out, we’ll come and find them.” Yang Ling sneered coldly and carved out Pusius’s Godhead with his blade. Then, he wove Wizard Seals with his hand, devoured the Godhead, and absorbed Pusuis’s soul.

Sizzle!

Yang Ling had fused with the Algernon Core Deity’s Godhead, so he had some experience in this. He had become more skilled since then. The Heavy Water Divine Branch’s boundless Faith Power quickly flowed into his body, and his Soul Energy increased drastically, replenished once again. He felt comfortable all over. This feeling was like what a heavy smoker who hadn’t smoke for 3 days would feel upon picking up a Cuban cigar, or like a heavy downpour upon a parched field after a drought.

It was delightful!

“3,000 drops of heavy water. This is a pretty good magical weapon; it’s stronger than ordinary Divine Weapons.” After Yang Ling devoured the Heavy Water Divine Branch’s Faith Power, he collected Pusius’s heavy water, which was sprinkled on the ground.

The territory and number of believers of the Heavy Water Divine Branch weren’t at the same level as the Algernon Divine Branch, but the power of its Core Deity, Pusius, was a bit higher. The Heavy Water Domain had strange attacks, and Yang Ling had almost suffered defeat. It was fortunate that Yang Ling’s body was very powerful; if this hadn’t been the case, he would have been crushed to death by the drops of heavy water, which weighed more than 10,000 pounds each.

“Lord, I killed all black-clothed guards atop the mountain’s peak.”

The Grand Wizard Houtu suddenly emerged from the ground. He wore a composed look, and he seemed carefree, as if killing 300 black-clothed guards with Divine Duty Experts’ power wasn’t any different to him than crushing 300 ants. His face was still ice-cold, but it got rosier, and the Energy Ripples inside his body, as well as his Soul Ripples, got more distinct. It was obvious that he’d recovered more of his power after he devoured the Energy Essence of 300 guards.

The injuries of the Mother Empress and the Golden Roc had recovered long ago, when they’d absorbed the energy of a large amount of Life Spring’s water and Moon Soul Stones. Even the injuries of the Black-Horned Demon, Natalie, had recovered swiftly. It was only the strongest person, the Grand Wizard Houtu, who’d recovered just half of his power. Still, his power was very terrifying, and with every little bit he recovered, his fighting prowess increased greatly.

Yang Ling looked at Pusuis, who had died with his eyes wide open, before he looked toward the Holy City, which was decorated with lanterns and colored banners for the celebration. He made a decision. “Fine, let’s change the plan. Let’s take control of the whole Heavy Water Domain as soon as possible.”

After he absorbed the Heavy Water Divine Branch’s Faith Power, the amount of his Soul Energy increased drastically, and his Divine Consciousness expanded exponentially once more. He suddenly got an idea, and the dusky Great Wizard World enveloped the whole Holy Mountain. Even the Holy City at the foot of the mountain, which had a population of ten million, was enveloped by it. Then, he wove Wizard Seals and summoned the whole Magical Beast Army. He also summoned the Wizard God Religion’s Pope Goode, as well as his personal guards, who were preaching in the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension.

“Rodriguez, I will give you three days to conquer this land. Goode, I need Faith Power, a lot of Faith Power. You are probably aware of what you have to do,” Yang Ling said in a deep voice. His voice reverberated directly in the minds of the Corpse Wizard King and Goode.

At first, he’d planned to slowly annex the Heavy Water Domain after killing the Heavy Water Core Deity, Pusius, on the sly. But once he’d killed Pusius, he instantly absorbed tremendous Faith Power, and he felt that his whole body was brimming with power. He craved this sweet Faith Power greatly, and he didn’t want to waste any more time or energy on conquering the land.

All plots were meaningless in the face of absolute power!

The Magical Beast Divine Branch was formed by many bloodthirsty and berserk Magical Beasts, so it would be better for it to conquer everything by martial force rather than wasting time and energy on pacifying people. They could crush all small Divine Branches in the vicinity of the Giant Dragon Mountain Range in no time at all. They had try to get more believers as soon as they could.

This was the only way to get enough power to carry out carnage in the City Amongst the Clouds. It was only through increasing his power greatly that Yang Ling would become able to deal with the adjudicator and his unfathomable powers.

As Yang Ling recalled Yuna, who laid motionless in a Crystal Coffin, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he wished badly to attack the City Amongst the Clouds right then and there.

“Hehehe, conquest is what I love the most.” The Corpse Wizard King laughed and issued orders. He commanded many Magical Beasts and descended down the mountain. They had an overwhelming force and were invincible. They killed all black-clothed guards that fought back.

Hiss!

After the Horned Soul Snake took a breath of air, which reeked of blood, it waved its tail strongly and pounced at the Corpse Wizard King. It coiled around his left arm, and it absorbed to its heart’s content the dense Death Aura in the air.

After this mysterious creature from the Death Dimension had devoured a large number of Magical Beasts’ Crystal Cores and Godheads, it molted and evolved many times. The scales atop its body turned darker, and it seemed like an ordinary little snake. However, it still emitted a dangerous aura. What was strange was that its body didn’t have any Divine Power, nor did it have the Godhead usually possessed by ordinary God-level Magical Beasts. It didn’t have even a Magical Beast’s Crystal Ore. Its power source was unknown!

“What’s the matter? Why did everything within a perimeter of 100 miles turn dusky so suddenly?”

“Wish Power…why can’t I absorb even a wisp of Wish Power?

…

In the Holy City, the people celebrating the new year festival suddenly faced a terrifying incident, and they turned pale with fright. Even the strong Divine Duty Experts were no exception. They were stunned, and they had a bad feeling about this situation. They all rushed toward the mountain’s peak, where the Core Deity was located.

However, they weren’t welcomed by the black-clothed guards that usually guarded the land; they were welcomed by bloodthirsty and ferocious Magical Beasts.

Corpses covered the land, and rivers of blood were formed…

In less than 4 hours, the Heavy Water Domain’s Holy City fell into enemy hands. After ordinary soldiers witnessed the Dark Dragon King, the Giant Ape King, and other strong Magical Beasts tearing Divine-duty Experts to shreds, they made the wise choice and surrendered. In addition, when the head of the Heavy Water Core Deity, Pusius, appeared on a pike in the city, even the most zealous believers lost their fighting spirit.

Even the lofty Core Deity with eternal life had been killed. How could ordinary people still dare to step forward and risk their lives?

The Corpse Wizard King’s bloody slaughter, as well as the comfort and enticement of Pope Goode, caused the Heavy Water Domain’s nobles to surrender quickly to the powerful Magical Beast Divine Branch. In many regions, whenever they saw from afar a banner with a five-pawed golden dragon, they would open their cities’ gates and surrender.

The secular world’s nobles needed money, territory, status, as well as other secular benefits. Yang Ling was the Magical Beast Core Deity, and he didn’t care any longer about the secular world’s concerns. He needed only believers’ sincere Faith Power. The nobles and Yang Ling didn’t have conflicting interests, which was why they quickly joined the Magical Beast Divine Branch upon witnessing Pope Goode’s great means. They even acted proactively and offered help containing the disorder in the domain.

Henceforth, the Heavy Water Domain was annexed by the Magical Beast Domain officially, and the people believed in just a single religion, the Wizard God Religion.

While Goode and the Corpse Wizard King were busy conquering the Heavy Water Domain, Yang Ling set up a large-scale Magical Teleportation Formation Spell atop the holy mountain. He rushed toward the next target with the Mother Empress, the Golden Roc, and the others. They used their astounding speed and fierce attacks to kill the Core Deities of small divine branches in the vicinity of the Giant Dragon Mountain Range and plunder their Godheads, as well as their Faith Power.

They had the Mother Empress, the Golden Roc, and the Black-Horned Demon. When those three powerhouses formed the Demon God Battle Formation and a triangular offensive line, they became able to kill anyone in their way. The numerous small Divine Branches’ Core Deities were no match for them. They still had Yang Ling’s Great Wizard World and Battle Soul Blade, which only continued to get stronger, as well as the sneaky Grand Wizard Houtu. The five of them were invincible, and any small Divine Branch’s Core Deity who heard they were coming could only abandon everything and escape far away to a foreign land. He would be no match for those five, even if he made ample preparations.

Every time Yang Ling killed a Core Deity, he would quickly bring over the Magical Beast Army with a Magical Teleportation Formation Spell. They would use their great military force to conquer every Divine Branch. They conquered many domains rich with resources. The Wizard God Religion’s Pope Goode followed them closely. They held a carrot in their left hand and a big stick in their right hand. They erased the former religions and quickly spread the Great Wizard’s belief.

…

In less than half a year, all small Divine Branches in the vicinity of the Giant Dragon Mountain Range had fallen into enemy hands, and the Magical Beast Divine Branch’s scope of control reached an astounding level. Both its territory and population were thousands of times greater than the whole Tailun Continent. There was still a little disparity between their comprehensive power and the ancient great factions, such as the Power King, the City Amongst the Clouds, the King of Darkness, and others. Still, they had already become the most menacing Divine Branch in the Chaos Dimension even though they had emerged only recently.

The Magical Beast Divine Branch’s infamy spread to various Main Dimensions, and all traveling wanderers were aware that another bloodthirsty and violent faction had appeared in the Chaos Dimension. They all heard about the banner with a five-pawed golden dragon, dyed red with enemy blood.

“Lord, the Poison Dragon Mountain Range is ahead of us. Once we conquer this land, we will have finished conquering all small Divine Branches in the surroundings of our domain, and as long as we occupy this mountain range, our domain will be in contact with the Lich King’s domain.” The Corpse Wizard King looked at the Poison Dragon Mountain Range stretching out into the distance and explained its situation to Yang Ling. He had conquered many Divine Branches in the past half a year with the Magical Beast Army, and he had become full of mettle.

“Strictly speaking, the Poison Dragon Mountain Range doesn’t have any Divine Branch or religion, but the simple-minded hill people in it have always worshiped their ancient totem.” The Old Dragon Turtle, Kaleisa, who had a grizzled beard, struggled to recall long-buried past events.

The Old Dragon Turtle paused for a moment before saying, “It’s said that a large Poison Dragon Cave is in the depth of Poison Dragon Mountain Range, and countless ferocious Poison Dragons dwell in it. Anyone who can become the Poison Dragon Cave’s master will become the Poison Dragon Mountain Range’s master. Over the years, innumerable experts ventured into the Poison Dragon Mountain Range to look for the legendary Poison Dragon Cave, but they all came home without achieving anything. Some of them didn’t even get to come home. Many of them were strong peerless powerhouses.”

Even strong peerless powerhouses were gone forever?

Yang Ling was greatly alarmed. He didn’t expect that the Poison Dragon Mountain Range, which had an inhospitable natural environment, would be such a terrifying region.
