Monster Pet Evolution

Three years ago, the animals and plants on Earth underwent crazy and unexplainable changes that included transformations, reversions, and the addition of otherworldly species. And it was the start of a brand-new type of profession in the new generation of humanity – Monster Trainers, people who specialized in taming monsters. On his 18th birthday, the protagonist of the story, Gao

Chapter 561: Floating Light

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

Gao Peng didn't express much emotion. "C'mon, can't you just satisfy my curiosity? Since you want to recruit me, why are you always against Tiange Academy?

"This kind of behavior will only disgust me. How does that help with the agenda to get me to join the Youhu Tribe?"

"This, I can help explain. Where we come from, it's normal for the tribe to be annexed. The simplest and most aggressive way to annex a tribe would be to weaken it; and at its weakest, when they have no strength to resist, take over everything." A figure emerged from the woods.

Gao Peng recognized him as an acquaintance.

"Tong Xiang? Looks like the Sang Tong Tribe has a hand in this?" Gao Peng nodded to himself thoughtfully.

Tong Xiang looked slightly disconcerted. He looked at Gao Peng for a bit, then snorted. "This… this has nothing to do with the Sang Tong Tribe. It's just about my displeasure with you. I was invited here to watch your end. I'm not involved in any of this other business.

"Anyway, don't think that the White Dragon Tribe would send people to protect you. The truth is, even if your Southern Sky Group is destroyed, the White Dragon Tribe wouldn't say a word.

"Had your grandfather agreed to be affiliated with the White Dragon Tribe, things wouldn't have come to this point today. But your grandfather refused the recruitment of the White Dragon Tribe.

"Owed favors… are merely towards the son of the White Dragon Tribe leader, but he doesn't have that great an influence," Tong Xiang quietly said. He was unwilling to share these things with Gao Peng, but at Tong Ling's reminder, he had decided to come over as an extension of his goodwill. Whether Gao Peng lived or died, it was none of his concern.

Yin You was slightly bothered. That wasn't what you said in the beginning. However, as Tong Xiang was the only son of the high priest of the Sang Tong tribe, he wasn't to be trifled with. Forget it, just be an audience. He isn't going to make a difference anyway.

Clang. Xiaohua heard a movement and grabbed the iron railings on the side of the truck with both its hands and twisted it. The railings were twisted into a knot. It then impetuously jumped off the truck and walked to reach Gao Peng's back. Moneymaker and Xiao Cao also came running from behind.

"One, two, three, four…" Yin You smiled. "Is this the tone you want to take with me, with these five familiars?"

Gao Peng chuckled. "As long as the restrictions of Earth Star aren't lifted and only King-tier monsters can be born. Are they not enough?"

Yin You laughed aloud. "Haha, one of your quotes seems to be very suitable for you right now—you're a frog in a well!

"Do you not know how special a day this is? Had it not been this special time today, do you think I would be here?

"While I agree that you have great talent, in your next life, remember that talent is just a gift. Before you turn your talent into real strength, it's best to stay under the radar. Our heritage is beyond your imagination. "

Thud—

A dull noise came from the void. It was as if waves of water had wrinkled the surface of a mirror and rippled outward.

Gao Peng frowned. "There's a new Spacial Rift here." If Earth Star was referred to as a house, then all monsters and familiars, including humans, were tenants living in that house.

Spacial Rifts were the doors and windows of houses that were connected to other houses.

It was as though this house—Earth Star—was a few hundred yards high, but due to certain reasons, it had a ceiling that blocked everything above a height of ten feet! In accordance, the doors and windows above the ten feet heigh were also locked up.

But now, it seemed that the doors and windows in the area above ten feet had reopened… What did this mean? The ceiling would increase in height, and the height limits that Earth Star could accommodate would increase.

"The limits of the monster levels of the Earth Star are going to increase…

"Indeed, the level limits of the Earth Star is about to open, and this is specifically why I came to see you today," Yin You finished.

Bang— Even to the naked eye, one could see a rippling expansion. Traces of cracks started to spread.

Xiaohua wanted to catch Yin You but didn't dare to stand a talking distance away from him. It was likely that Yin You had come prepared.

Yin You turned and stepped backward, a silver halo emerging from his body. A floating sparkling silver metal ball orbited around him, making his movements seem more agile. His body appeared to be cloaked in silver.

"Hmm." Gao Peng grunted softly, this was the first time he had seen a monster of this kind.

[Monster Name: Meteorite Magic Ball

[Monster Level: Level 60

[Monster Grade: Perfect/Perfect

[Monster Attribute: Galaxy

[Monster Skills: When attached to an Level 5 star has Star Energy Manipulation Ability Level 5 Starlight Tide Level 5

[Monster Weakness: Dark

[Monster Description: A monster born in the realm of stars, it is occasionally found in other worlds because of Spatial Rifts. They are born with the ability to manipulate the power of stars. Due to their unique spirits and semi-physical bodies, they can be attached to any living organism and control the stars to strengthen that organism. They like organisms that are rich in star energy.

With the silver cloak, Yin You's movements became very nimble. He could jump hundreds of feet in a small leap. Spreading opening the palm of his hand, he spurted a silver column of light onto Xiao Hua. Xiao Hua was immediately hit and rolled several times on the ground, its chest burnt rather severely.

Xiao Cao shook lightly. A white glow landed on Xiao Hua, and she recovered quickly.

Yin You stood at a distance, atop a tree; the silver light covered his soles and enabled him to comfortably stand on the leaves of the tree.

"You still have ten minutes to escape. The farther you run, the better it will be for you," You Yin said bluntly.

Gao Peng snorted. "There are plenty of things to learn on Earth Star, yet you choose to learn to be pretentious."

Yin You couldn't be bothered to continue this worthless conversation with Gao Peng. In his opinion, this kid was completely out of his league. He had seen plenty of youths like him, becoming audacious once they had achieved the slightest success. This kind of person either ended up dead in a monster's stomach or died in tribe battles.

Tong Xiang looked at Gao Peng's calm expression and was suddenly reminded of Tong Ling's words.

He couldn't stop the lingering thought suggesting that many of this guy's monsters hadn't appeared. There was a possibility of them rising to Emperor-tier. If this was the case, then Yin You would be in for a tough fight.

The strength of Yin You's Youhu Tribe was similar to that of the Sang Tong tribe, otherwise, they wouldn't have been so eager to enter Earth Star. The truth was that the tribes that were truly at the top wouldn't have been in a hurry to come to Earth Star.

Tong Xiang slowly took two steps backward, thought about it, then continued to take another two steps back.

Gao Peng looked up. It was a cloudless day. At this moment, he could feel something crack open. He also felt the restrictions on certain beasts in his Familiar Space being lifted.

"Roar!" A low rumble came from the void.

Space became twisted like crushed glass. Two large dark green bone fingers reached out from inside the void. A horn that looked like it was from a bull, golden irises, and a strong body radiated a terrifying aura.

It was a familiar—the Barbaric Emperor Mountain Beast.

"You might not have ever seen an Emperor-tier monster…" Yin You sneered.

Gao Peng snapped his fingers. The space around him contorted. A five-foot-tall familiar with a dark body and intricate armor appeared below Gao Peng's feet. Its glistening arm blades were placed across its chest.

"Floating Light, kill it."

"Yes, Master."

Floating Light lifted its head, its eyes shining with brutality and a thirst for blood.

"An Emperor-tier familiar?" Yin You was stunned. Floating Light's Emperor-tier aura wasn't hidden, hence it was particularly obvious.

But to groom an Emperor-tier monster in merely three years in the Black Fog World?! Yin You was slightly overwhelmed. The pace that this monster had grown at was simply too fast.

To think that an Emperor-tier had been groomed in a mere three years. If increasing the levels of one's familiars was so easy, why did it take everyone so much effort? The speed at which Gao Peng's familiar had leveled up was actually making him slightly nervous.

Floating Light turned its head. Reflected in its eyes was a blood-red line that connected the Barbaric Emperor Mountain Beast's left leg to its torso. In Yin You's sight, the red line appeared from nothingness, then became progressively darker. What an enchanting shade of red it was.

Whizz— Floating Light's wings shook gently as it rose up. Without warning, it was silently hit by a wave of wind resistance. It only saw a flash of shadow. Yin You didn't even see this shadow; he only heard a soft indescribable crack.

A mournful howl from the Barbaric Emperor Mountain Beast followed as it crashed loudly to the ground. Its legs, which were as thick as pillars, had lifted off the ground. It spun in the air and landed, rolling several times.

Floating Light tiptoed onto a stone, appeared for a moment, leapt, then disappeared from everyone's sight.

"What the…" The silver glow on Yin You's lit up, the starlight barrier instantly cut open. A sharp blade touched his chest in a millisecond. His pupils blew open wide.

Bam!

Yin You disappeared from his original position and reappeared by the body of the Barbaric Emperor Mountain Beast. The red glow of its body gradually dissipated.

I almost died! Yin You's heart was beating wildly. Fortunately, his monster trainer life preservation ability included life-saving transporting. When he faced potentially fatal injuries, he would be instantly transported to his nearest and most powerful familiar.

Where Yin You once stood, Floating Light now sat. Crouched at the top of the tree, Floating Light rubbed its blade-like arms together, emitting a rustling sound. Expressionless, it turned his neck and coldly stared at Yin You and the Barbaric Emperor Mountain Beast.

"Don't kill me. Let me go! Upon our return, the Youhu tribe will never give you any trouble again," Yin You chimed nervously. He spoke quickly for fear that if he spoke any slower, he would be killed instantly.

His ability had a time limit, and he could only activate it again 24 hours later.

At the same time, Yin You noticed that Gao Peng could summon a familiar out of thin air. He knew what this ability was—the Familiar Space.

His monster trainer life preservation ability was considered to be an extremely rare one. This ability was independent of a monster trainer's level, and the awakening of the various life preservation abilities were random, but only a handful of people in the Youhu tribe had the ability of the Familiar Space.

And it was known that there were millions of people in their tribe.

Gao Peng smiled when he heard the comment. He had Nan Ju produce a tangerine for itself. "Don't worry; in times to come, there won't be a Youhu Tribe."

After speaking, Gao Peng turned and walked toward a stiff-bodied Tong Xiang. He had Bei Zhi hand Tong Xiang the tangerine. "You should know more about the Youhu Tribe. Let's talk in detail."

Tong Xiang broke out in a cold sweat. Nonetheless, he was also secretly relieved that he had listened to Tong Ling and not stupidly sent himself to his grave.

Moreover, Gao Peng had the ability of the Familiar Space, so no one knew how many familiars he had hidden in there… What a monster!

Had he exposed his ability earlier, no one would have dared to approach and trouble him. It was a trick! These were the words that ran through Tong Xiang's mind just then.

Looking at Gao Peng's back, Yin You grinded his teeth, and the Barbaric Emperor Mountain Beast with one broken limb roared. It smashed both its arms onto the ground. A powerful force reverberated from the ground, and a small earthquake shook the earth. With crazed power, the monster dashed towards Gao Peng.

The Meteorite Magic Ball took this opportunity and used its powers to lifted Yin You into the sky!

Tong Xiang hesitated for a moment and reminded Gao Peng, "He flew away."

"He can't get away," Gao Peng replied casually and snapped his fingers again.

A tiny creature appeared between Gao Peng and Barbaric Emperor Mountain Beast. The size of the creature was practically insignificant when compared to the beast, which had two thick and short hind legs rooted to the ground and a serious little face that lowered its bouncy and fleshy feelers from the top of its head to the sides.

The body of the Barbaric Emperor Mountain Beast barged over like a bulldozer but stopped the moment it hit the tiny creature. The small ant's entire body was muscular and flesh-colored, except for a simple earthy yellow shell on its chest. It had grabbed the body of the Barbaric Emperor Mountain Beast with its two small claws and immobilised it.

"Roar?" The Barbaric Emperor Mountain Beast made a disgruntled noise. Why was it one tiny creature after another?

"Third Baby, be quieter," Gao Peng said to this dragon ant.

"Okay." Third Baby nodded quietly. Its two front claws were deeply hooked into the forelimbs of the savage mountain beast.

"Hey?" the broken mountain beast exclaimed. It was being lifted?

"Huff, huff, puff—" Third baby's panting became heavier, then it let out a loud shriek!

Bam! The savage mountain beast was lifted and smashed to the ground, a couple of times to the left and then a few more times to the right. It was groggy from all of that impact. Blood oozed out of its nose and mouth…

Tong Xiang watch this scene and quietly wiped the sweat off his forehead.

A few thousand feet from the ground, Yin You relaxed slightly. He couldn't be attacked at such a great distance… right? His eyes instantly froze. The monster at the top of the branch suddenly flew up. Its blade-like arms shot out numerous deep green wind blades, and the wind blades circled the sky, then swiftly developed into a wind blade tornado that came crashing over.

Whizz…

Amidst the dark blue tornado, there was a spot of blood, like a flower that bloomed and then disappeared. The air was quiet. Only the sound of the tides remained…

[Monster Description: A Dragon Ant that has eaten the meat of the Giant Dragon of the Valley, this dragon ant is honest, trustworthy, and will obey the master's orders. Its IQ has been slightly weakened, so its only weakness may intellectual dullness.

Using the wind element, Floating Light landed and happily ran to pat his foot-and-a-half-tall and three-foot-wide Power King Kong Ant brother.

Among all the dragon ants, he had the best relationship with the Power King Kong Ant. It was easygoing and close to anyone that treated it well. Upon seeing Floating Light coming over, it also enthusiastically tapped Floating Light's calves.

Floating Light almost flew away from the strength of the Power King Kong ant's tap.

Sigh. He's a good brother, but his strength makes him hard to stomach.

An Emperor-tier familiar appearing with a snap of one's fingers. While Tong Xiang had much to say, he only wanted to say three words.

But to save his skin, he swallowed those three words. "That's nice."

"Master, I found this." Floating Light held out a silver metal ball in its left arm.

"See, it's still alive," Floating Light flaunted to Gao Peng like a child who had received a trophy and went home to show it to its father.

"Good boy, Floating Light!" Gao Peng patted its small bare head as encouragement, then turned to look at the Meteorite Magic Ball.

[Monster Condition: Moderate injury

"Do you know what this is?" Gao Peng pointed to the Meteorite Magic Ball and asked Tong Xiang. He noticed the strange look that Tong Xiang had when he looked at the magic ball and thought he might know something that he didn't.

"If I'm not wrong, this should be the Starry Magic Ball," Tong Xiang gushed enviously.

The Starry Magic Ball… the name differed slightly from the Meteorite Magic Ball title that he saw.

"You should have seen how he used this item just now… Don't look at it as an item. It's a familiar. You should know that monster trainers can only sign one familiar…" Tong Xiang was suddenly reminded of Gao Peng's identity, and his heart ached even more.

"Well, some of us can only sign one familiar, and then our personal strength becomes greatly limited. As the strength of monster trainers is weak, this Starry Magic Ball, to a large extent, compensates for our individual combat power and because it latches onto another body, it can also help with the drawbacks of protecting one's life.

"However, such familiars are precious, and more importantly, rare. Only a handful of monster trainers own this beast." Tong Xiang sighed.

Gao Peng looked Tong Xiang up and down. "Do you want it?" Gao Peng asked suddenly.

"Uh?" Tong Xiang's heart fluttered. He said hesitantly, "But this beast is very precious. If you groom it properly, it'll be like having another familiar… You can take it over directly, and it'll allow you to get a taste of the power of the beast. More than physical strength, it has elemental power."

Gao Peng chuckled. "Does your tribe have this kind of familiar?"

"Yes." Tong Xiang nodded honestly.

"Well, I'll find another one after I exterminate the Youhu Tribe. Even Yin You has one. I don't believe that I can't find a second one in their tribe."

"Ah?" Tong Xiang's eyes widened. Exterminating the Youhu tribe… would he really be so cruel?

The earnest Tong Xiang shook his head quickly. "Their tribe has an Overlord-tier familiar, so even if you wanted to take revenge, you don't have to go now."

Gao Peng took a second look at Tong Xiang and his thick eyebrows. "I have my plans. All you need to do is tell me what you know. Giving you this Meteorite Magic Ball is conditional, and the condition is that you tell me everything you know about the Youhu Tribe.

"Don't tell me you don't know anything. If you can be here today, a thick-browed guy like you must know about the Youhu Tribe." Gao Peng laughed.

Why does Gao Peng always mention my thick eyebrows when he's talking to me? thought Tong Xiang. Aside from the Starry Magic Ball, Tong Xiang was fearful of Gao Peng's powers, so he shared every detail of what he knew with Gao Peng.

"The Youhu Tribe has two Overlord-tier familiars, ten Emperor-tiers, and countless King-tiers." Tong Xiang sighed.

"On Earth Star, except for yours, the number of top familiars is very small. For example, the King tier is considered rare on your planet, but in the Youhu Tribe they have hundreds and thousands." Tong Xiang had an unreadable look in his eyes.

"This is why the Youhu Tribe appears conceited when facing your planet. It's because of their strength… Of course, that was before I met you," Tong Xiang quickly added after he noticed Gao Peng's expression.

"Where is the Youhu tribe?"

Tong Xiang fell silent. He felt like his actions that day lacked integrity. After all, he was from a tribe, but now he was giving information to another ally. He hesitated slightly, then shook his head vigorously. "The Youhu Tribe is in the Jiuli Wilderness, and the Jiuli Wilderness is a long way from our Sang Tong Tribe."

"Where is the Sang Tong Tribe?" Gao Peng asked, faking curiosity.

Tong Xiang tensed up, like a vigilant baby hedgehog. "What are you up to? As you wished, I already told you the location of the Youhu Tribe."

"I'm just wondering where the Sang Tong tribe is." Gao Peng gave a friendly smile. "But I won't force you since you don't want to say it.

"Anyway, if I entered the Spatial Rift that you guys came out of, I would reach directly where you came in," Gao Peng added thoughtfully.

"Yes…" Tong Xiang sighed. "Forget it. I know you'll ask. The space crack for the Youhu Tribe is 18 miles outside the Qingzhou base city. The specific address is inconvenient for me to identify in words. When I head back, I'll send it to you via Penguin. I'll also add you as a friend in Penguin."

"You have a future," Gao Peng praised while patting Tong Xiang on the shoulder.

He threw the injured Meteorite Magic Ball to Tong Xiang, who scrambled to catch it. The ball was limp, maybe due to the death of its "master." The meteorite seemed to have given up and resigned itself to its fate.

"Okay, let's head back." Gao Peng willed Floating Light and the Power King Kong Dragon Ant into the Familiar Space, then summoned a Level-70 Flamy to cleanly burn away all evidence. The place looked like it had just had a forest fire.

Then, with his arm over Tong Xiang's shoulder, he returned from the suburbs to Mo Du City as though nothing had happened.

This was highly uncomfortable for Tong Xiang. The route had plenty of cameras. He knew that if anyone had bad intentions, they could definitely find out that he and Gao Peng had appeared together. He wouldn't be able to shirk this relationship.

After returning to Mo Du base city and leaving Tong Xiang, Gao Peng called He Wei. "Uncle He, can you help look after my five students for the next few days? I have something going on and will need to leave Mo Du City for a while."

He Wei easily agreed.

Gao Peng didn't pack anything and simply summoned Fourth Baby when he was in the wild. A slender physique like that of a giant flying ant familiar appeared before Gao Peng. Its silvery white wings floated in the air, and the tip of its wings exuded a colorful sheen.

A sprinkle of light fluttered outward from the top of the wings, the silvery-white wings like molten silver.

[Monster Name: Aurora Dragon Ant

[Monster Level: Level 69 (Emperor Tier)

[Monster Grade: Epic/Epic

[Monster Attribute: Light

[Monster Skills: Light Element Control Level 6, Speed increase Level 5, Silver Dragon Scale Level 4, Lightweight body Level 5 (Resistance, uncertain)

Passive Effect 1: When the Aurora Dragon Ant flies in a fixed direction, its speed will increase very slightly.

Passive Effect 2: Wings formed by the coagulation of Aurora illusion possess high tenacity and lethality. This is equivalent to additional organs that have strong lethality and resistance to certain attributes.

Active Effect 3: After activating the Aurora Wings, its speed will increase rapidly.)

Report chapter

Fourth Baby, since its awakening, had become Gao Peng's exclusive mount.

Da Zi and Flamy could both fly, but the fit didn't feel right. Just like taking a fighter jet, although the speed was very fast, in terms of comfort, a fighter jet was far from a passenger plane.

Gao Peng laid on Fourth Baby's back and narrowed his eyes in relaxation. There was a soft glow around his body that was blocking the wind.

Within the glow, Gao Peng didn't feel the slightest discomfort, his breathing was comfortable, and the temperature was appropriate. Gao Peng leaned back and laid down. Fourth Baby's naturally drooping silver wings folded inwards, and Gao Peng's body was perfectly wrapped and protected.

Gao Peng closed his eyes and started thinking. It was only after his return that Gao Peng learned this outdated news. The ancient tribes regarded those who could sign on more than one familiar as 'geniuses' and deemed them holy individuals.

Gao Peng couldn't help but laugh when he first heard the news. If so, were there two billion holy individuals on Earth Star? That would make this holy individual entirely worthless.

Rather than believing in holy individuals, Gao Peng was inclined to believe another hypothesis. It wasn't about the rarity of holy individuals, but rather, everyone should have been able to concurrently sign on many familiars. However, the criteria would be the strength of their soul. This wasn't a rare physical ability, but a basic gift that belonged to most monster trainers.

Long ago, people from ancient tribes had this kind of ability, but after leaving the Earth Star, they had gradually lost this ability. It might have been due to a curse or because they were outside of Earth Star's unique environment.

Of course, the ancient tribes would never accept this hypothesis. If that was the case… They would have to admit to being sinners who were abandoned by their ancestors.

Even if this was true, they would never admit to this. Given certain pressures, the official coalition government of Earth Star had refuted this possibility. This information had been shared with him by his grandfather; ordinary people didn't know this insider information.

Now, it seemed that the people of the ancient tribes could only sign on one familiar. But where there was a will, there was a way. They found other methods to enhance their strength, such as this Meteorite Magic Ball, which was a familiar with a buddha's personality.

If the Meteorite Magic Ball exerted all its strength, it would be very effective in battle. But since the Meteorite Magic Ball had a good personality, when it hadn't been threatened, it wouldn't proactively attack others.

Given long-term contact with the Meteorite Magic Ball, a harmonious relationship could be established. Through special means, Meteorite Magic Balls could be used to fight for familiars, so this was a familiar that wasn't quite usual.

Aside from the Meteorite Magic Ball, there were other monsters, such as hounds, that were trained to guard homes in the olden days.

"This is also why the Youhu Tribe wanted to recruit Earth Star's geniuses. They could only sign on a single beast, but we have no limits. They want to improve the genes of the next generation…" Gao Peng shook his head when he thought about this.

Thirty minutes later, Gao Peng arrived at the sky above the Qingzhou base city. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and opened the map that Tong Xiang had sent to him.

Hovering in the sky, Gao Peng had originally expected the exact address of the Spatial Rift would be hard to find, but he soon noticed buildings deep in the mountains, located halfway along the mountainside.

These buildings were used as rest stops to temporarily house the people of the Youhu Tribe when they came out of the Spatial Rift or to guard against ordinary intruders.

Gao Peng allowed Fourth Baby to land directly. As Fourth Baby had extremely striking looks, it attracted the attention of the people beneath them.

An alarm sounded, and a piercing siren echoed in the air.

"Who is that?" someone said. The siren was shrill enough to frighten off the birds in the forest.

Although he knew that this could alarm some people, Gao Peng had no time to think about it. As the saying went, speed was the essence of a war. Yin You's disappearance would cause even more problems.

In any case, these ancient tribal clans had always been pampered. Compared to the issues caused by Yin You's disappearance, an intrusion by outsiders might not draw too much attention.

Fourth Baby's silver wings were highly eye-catching, like two streams of shapeless molten metal. They automatically fluttered, and coupled with colorful tips that appeared to dissipate in the wind, the creature looked particularly exotic.

From all around, guards in military uniforms brought over their familiars and surrounded Gao Peng and Fourth Baby.

Fourth Baby didn't have to do much to prove its strength. It naturally exuded the aura of its Emperor tier.

The familiars who wanted to approach started retreating and stomped on the ground while letting out cries of terror. They refused to move any closer despite the commands.

"Hurry, go over," a monster trainer scolded his familiar. Maybe he hadn't been treating his familiar well. After he repeatedly insisted on his order, the familiar irritably turned his head and bit him.

The bite wasn't too hard, otherwise, the trainer's shoulder probably would have been bitten off. Even so, the trainer was bleeding non-stop from the bite, his camouflage uniform covered with blood.

Someone who was repairing the building on the mountainside nervously stuttered, "Master Yin Shi, there's an intruder."

"Huh?" Yin Shi opened his eyes and lifted the quilt on his bed. One could see his pale body lying under the quilt.

"So troublesome." Yin Shi frowned, and in a vicious tone, said, "Go delay things. I'll get dressed and come over."

Yin Shi paused and seemed to have recalled something. Frowning, he said, "Right, a group of women is supposed to be sent over today. There better be no losses, since these are dedicated to the Lords of the tribe, if there are any accidents, wiping out your entire family wouldn't even be enough punishment."

A loud voice rang out from the empty space. "Don't you know that this Spatial Rift leads to the Youhu Tribe? Retreat immediately."

Gao Peng looked at their military uniform. His brow furrowed deeper, so the creases on his face could almost pinch a mosquito.

"You're the soldiers of the Huaxia region? Why do you feel like Youhu's lackeys?" Gao Peng said quietly.

The person who spoke became silent, fist clenched, his knuckles turning white. He took a deep breath and loudly proclaimed, "We are now no longer soldiers of the Huaxia region!" Right after that, he removed all his badges from his shoulders, solemnly took off his beret, and placed the badges into the beret.

"Commander?" The few soldiers behind him were stunned.

The regiment commander calmly said, "Take off your emblems."

All the soldiers around Gao Peng took off their badges silently.

Gao Peng didn't make things difficult for these people, as they were just obeying orders. Moreover, the earlier scene of watching the man remove his badges gave him a strange feeling.

"Get lost, you bunch of imbeciles. You can't even kill an intruder," a bossy voice said from behind.

Chapter 565: King Cloud Giant

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

A blood-red deer-shaped familiar with two sharp sparkling horns on its head stood on top of the mountain, looking down at Gao Peng and his familiar. The deer-shaped familiar looked impressive, with a translucent blood-red ring above its head. It was an Epic-grade, King-tier familiar.

It was such a pity that there was a huge gap in tier. Fourth Baby glanced at it.

What was previously a graceful figure on top of the mountain, became pathetic; its legs went weak, and it fell off the mountain top… Crash.

Fourth Baby rolled up its wing, and its length increased several folds. There was a flash of silver light, and the blood deer that had just fallen to the foot of the mountain had a missing head.

A column of blood appeared in the air, along with a deer head that had a look of anger.

Gao Peng smiled. "Leave now. I don't want to kill you. Today, I'm here only to trouble the Youhu Tribe."

To kill a King-tier familiar within seconds and in one move… Everyone who witnessed the scene paled. Respect was best earned with a show of strength.

They weren't fools and were aware that moving in on such a strong opponent would likely lead to death.

"Everyone step back," the regiment commander leader said. Looking at Gao Peng, the commander seemed like he wanted to say more but couldn't. After thinking for a while, the regiment commander gritted his teeth and waved his large hand. The Iron-Backed Wolf Hound that was squatting on the ground beside him suddenly rose and arched its back like a mountain.

A terrifying explosive force erupted, in the next moment, when it leapt forward. The explosive force enabled the Iron-Backed Wolf Hound to bite off and swallow Yin Shi's head.

After giving the order, the regiment commander seemed to have all his strength drained. The regiment commander turned, looked at the soldiers behind him, and said, "Remember this; today's order was my own. I shall bear all the responsibilities."

The regiment commander went up to Gao Peng. "Warrior, just leave. Everything that happened today has nothing to do with you… You have such strength at such a young age. You shouldn't expose it so early. It's still early."

Gao Peng replied, "What are you talking about?"

The regiment commander was stunned. "You don't know? Then why did you come looking for trouble with the Youhu Tribe?"

The head of the regiment suddenly had a toothache. This fellow… What the hell is going on? "Don't you know that the Youhu Tribe brings girls from all over the world to the tribe to reproduce for them?"

The commander had originally thought that Gao Peng came because he had friends or relatives who were kidnapped. When he first saw Gao Peng, he wanted to get him to leave. Though he appreciated Gao Peng's chivalry, he had no reasons not to execute his orders.

"Girls are kidnapped and brought to the tribe to reproduce for them?" Gao Peng was astounded; the Youhu Tribe was this inhumane? Gao Peng's face was drawn. He had underestimated their determination to "enhance" their genes.

"And you didn't stop…" Gao Peng was halfway through the sentence when he realized that since the difference in their strength was too great, it would be impossible to stop them. Instead, he'd be regarded as a provocation by the Youhu soldiers.

They were indeed willing to suffer and endure the pain of vengeance. This way, the girls who had been captured would be the only ones suffering.

"This gives me an additional reason to wipe out the Youhu Tribe," Gao Peng murmured to himself.

"If you need another place to survive, you can go to the Southern Sky Group. At least you can settle down there," Gao Peng said to the commander.

Then he patted Fourth Baby's head. In clear sight, he entered the Spatial Rift.

"Rest assured, the Youhu Tribe will no longer exist after today." Gao Peng's last words echoed.

After a long silence, someone asked, "Has he gone mad?"

The space seemed to ripple, like he was going through a curtain of water. The next moment, the environment in front of Gao Peng began to change. There was a dense forest all around; trees within a square mile from the center of the Spatial Rift were leveled. There was a smooth path leading out of the forest.

The sky was sapphire blue, quite different from the red sky in the Black Fog World. The sky and the environment here were similar to Earth Star. Wasn't it said that the Youhu Tribe lived in the Jiuli Wilderness? These surroundings didn't look anything like the wilderness.

This should have been the world where the Youhu Tribe was located. This was also the third world that he had visited, and it was entirely different from the ones he had seen before.

There were no defensive measures; it was probably because of the clans stationed on the other side of the Spatial Rift. Riding Fourth Baby in the sky, all scenery nearby was within Gao Peng's sight.

The forest below him wasn't too big, and the rift was located at the edge of the forest. On the horizon in front of him, Gao Peng saw signs of construction. That was where the Youhu Tribe was.

He instructed Fourth Baby to fly over. Once he was a distance away from the Youhu tribe, the clouds in front of him started changing.

One of the white clouds shifted into the shape of a human face. "Who are you? You're not a member of our tribe." It spoke the ancient clan language, but fortunately, Gao Peng had learned their language.

Gao Peng saw its attributes—it was a Level-64 King Cloud Giant.

"Who me… I am from San Tong Tribe," Gao Peng gleefully replied.

"The Sang Tong Tribe…" The King Cloud Giant thought deeply. "The Sang Tong Tribe in Huo Tang Valley is 300 domains away from us…"

While it was still thinking, Floating Light launched out from behind Gao Peng. In the blink of an eye, Floating Light was right in front of it. It wasn't until then that the King Cloud Giant had a reaction.

Floating Light lowered its back, spread open its wings, rotated 180 degrees, and exposed the deadly glint of its double-edged arm blades.

To Floating Light, the King Cloud Giant was full of flaws. Long blood-red lines crossed the entire body of the Cloud Giant vertically and horizontally, filling up almost its entire body.

"So many weaknesses… How can you not die?!" Floating Light presented a chaotic double-edged dance. One could only see its shadow as a blur.

"Truth, death, extermination, ultimate slash!"

Boom, Boom, Boom!

All clouds within a radius of a few miles dissipated, leaving only the body of the King Cloud Giant intact.

The King Cloud Giant looked doubtfully at its body. Is this a trick…?

Smack! The King Cloud Giant instantly exploded into tiny fragments, evaporating into thin air as vapor. A pure white core crystal floated in the air, left behind.

Fourth Baby skillfully lifted its wings and tipped the core crystal over, then swallowed it in one gulp.

Floating Light widened its eyes. Stealing food again? It was so angry that it stepped on Fourth Baby's head. "Spit it out, you silly glutton."

Fourth Baby acted dumb and pretended that it couldn't hear anything.

"That's enough. It's just another core crystal. That's enough managing for the day." Gao Peng looked at the thriving tribe below him and smiled.

Chapter 566: Mount Taishan

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

Right at the moment of the King Cloud Giant's death, a white-bearded man who was holding a radio and blowing at his beard suddenly had a premonition. In the following second, the dying familiar made its last attack. A mouthful of blood instantly hit the radio, fresh blood staining it red.

"The King Cloud is dead!" The white-beard man placed the radio on the table in shock and ran out of his room frantically to spread the word. Suddenly, the sky grew black. He lifted his head, his eyes filled with despair…

On the other side, Gao Peng gently tapped his fingers. The crisp sound echoed above the sky as if it was the horn of fate, like a bell that determined life and death.

The void in front of his eyes was distorted, and the sound of tyrannical breathing came from the other side of the void. The phenomenon of distortion in such a large area indicated that the familiar that had been summoned was extremely huge.

Rumble—

"Sometimes, it's very simple to catch fate by its throat. You just need to tap a finger." Gao Peng sighed faintly. He couldn't help but bemoan the state of the universe and pity the fate of mankind.

The distortion of the void was only a momentary occurrence. After that moment passed, a deep blackness that made people feel desperate and hid the sky from their view fell on the world. Its extremely large volume made people feel overwhelmed and terrified.

Their intuitive feeling was that the sky had collapsed. The wind was roaring, the air was whistling, and in the vast sky, a huge mountain spanning five miles had been summoned. It fell down like a meteorite.

There was surprised shouting among the Youhu Tribe.

"Be careful!"

"Quickly, take defense!"

"What is this… A mountain is falling from the sky?!"

The tranquil tribe suddenly felt like they were being boiled alive in an instant. It was as if a pot of boiling water had been knocked over. Even though Gao Peng's sudden attack had caught them off-guard, they had displayed strong wills in the face of danger. This was an instinctive reaction that had been cultivated in them after countless years in this cruel world.

In a big temple located at the heart of the Youhu Tribe's central domain, the wooden piece that Yin Mu was currently engraving shattered. The blade caused the appearance of a crack that stretched from the head to the neck of the wooden tiger figure that was being carved.

Yin Mu stared dazedly at the shattered wooden piece in his hands.

The soil behind the Patriarch's Hall split open. Large construction projects mixed with mud were thrown everywhere. This included the Patriarch's Hall, which had also been swept up by the wave of mud.

A gigantic silver serpent surfaced from a gap that had been the result of land being forced open. Its crystal-like torso exuded hazy colors. As it had just made its way out of the earth, its body was still emitting a pale-yellow color. The gigantic serpent entrenched itself in the ground and hissed furiously at the mountain that was falling overhead.

"It's the Patriarch's serpent! There's hope for us," someone said.

Hiss! Apart from the gigantic serpent, there were no less than ten tyrannical odors being awakened near the tribe. A horrifying attack that was directed at the mountain overhead erupted.

Countless attacks landed on the bottom of the fallen mountain. A thick and heavy yellow protective shield suddenly formed on the mountain peak. All the attacks were being blocked by the shield and made it seem like there were fireworks being set off in the sky…

However, these few attacks came from minor figures. The Youhu Tribe's real fatal move was the Overlord-tier Earthlord Serpent that measured up to half a mile long. This was also the trump card being revealed by the Youhu Tribe.

Boom!!

The Earthlord Serpent's head was very close to Stripey's buttocks.

Crash!

The earth took the Giant Crystal Serpent as its center-point and sunk down in all four directions. The land couldn't bear the immense weight and was crushed. Smoke and dust smog erupted from the cracks with a clamor. It was like the world was ending.

The skull of the Giant Crystal Serpent was almost crushed by this. The horrifying weight pressed down on its head, and its entire body was trapped beneath the foot of the mountain. It was thoroughly suppressed by Stripey.

Accompanying it were unceasing earth-shattering vibrations and roars. The mountain shook, and the earth moved. All monsters within a thousand miles could feel what was happening here.

Gao Peng tapped his fingers again. Stripey, who had just been awakened from his sleep, instantly vanished into thin air as it was collected into the Familiar Space by Gao Peng.

Everything beneath his feet had already been transformed into a wasteland. The previously bustling central district of the tribe had been thoroughly crushed; not a single complete piece of architecture could be found. The ground looked like the result of having been crushed hundreds of times by compactors. It was sturdier than concrete, but fragmented masonry and wood had become embedded in the earth. The remains and blood stains of some monsters were also thrown into the mix.

The silence was deadly.

Apart from a small number of buildings on the edge that had very fortunately survived, the central district was barren. This was one way the Familiar Space that Gao Peng had developed could be used. Of course, this was also built based on the prerequisites of Stripey's volume and weight.

Throwing Stripey down from the sky could cause devastating damage and injury to enemies across a wide range.

Gazing at the dead silent Youhu Tribe, Gao Peng mused over it. "Don't tell me that all the strong opponents have been eliminated."

"That's not likely… That would be too weak of them," his companion replied.

Hiss… The squashed ground trembled violently, the cracks shook uncontrollably, and from the ground rose a massive mound. Boom.

The mound exploded. The ragged Earthlord Serpent shouted furiously at the sky, and when it saw the scenes of a catastrophe all around it, the humane feelings of despair and desperation surfaced in its eyes. After, it lifted its head and stared fixedly at Gao Peng, who was riding Fourth Baby in the sky. Its eyes were filled with hatred.

Its body rose bit by bit, the ground near it crystallized. It erected its tail directly on the earth and tightened its body as it rushed up towards the sky, opening its mouth wide with an aura that made it seem like it was bound to win.

The irritable and resentful temperament made Fourth Baby, who Gao Peng was sitting on, stir restlessly. Gao Peng's face maintained its usual look while watching the approaching serpent's mouth. "It is hatred that blinds your wisdom. You really don't learn from your lessons."

The moment that thought was vocalized, the void before Gao Peng's eyes distorted again.

Hiss? The Earthlord Serpent widened its eyes, having suddenly recalled something.

Boom! This was the second time it was being suppressed, the second time its neck was almost broken due to its posture.

This time, Gao Peng didn't summon Stripey back. Instead, he allowed Stripey to crush the Overlord-tier Earthlord Serpent beneath its buttocks, and at the same time, explore the surroundings to see if there were any other Overlord-tier monsters hiding in the earth.

"Gao Peng, there are some King-tier and Emperor-tier monsters in the soil, but none of them are in the Overlord-tier," Stripey reported honestly to Gao Peng.

"Crush those insects." Gao Peng casually laid down an order.

Under Stripey's control, the earth beneath its body was rumbling everywhere. The seemingly calm soil was turbulent, and the violent earth elements were entangled in surge after surge.

It was as if a large invisible hand was crushing King-tier and Overlord-tier familiars like they were insects.

"Why is there only one Overlord-tier familiar. Didn't they say there would be two?" Gao Peng frowned. They had surveyed their surroundings and still not found a trace of the second Overlord-tier familiar. This made Gao Peng a little uneasy. He had always believed in the principle of cutting the weeds and destroying the roots. After all, he had responsibilities to take care of, such as his group of students and behind him, the expansive Southern Sky Group.

If he didn't cut the weeds and destroy the roots and someone came after his family for revenge, what would he do?

Gao Peng didn't want to regret it only when the people he was protecting were in harm's way. "This is really troublesome. Can't they all be together like a family…?"

Chapter 567: Fifth Baby

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

"Forget it. It's imperative to save those girls first." Gao Peng couldn't help but sigh when he thought about the cruel fate that those girls had suffered.

These girls were, naturally, not from the Youhu Tribe. In the eyes of the people from the Youhu Tribe, they weren't qualified to join them. They were just tools for reproduction. This was because they knew that those girls were kidnapped through unscrupulous methods, so the Youhu Tribe would never give them any chances of becoming stronger.

Some girls would even be eliminated after they gave birth…

If they had placed these girls within the Youhu Tribe, Gao Peng would have refrained from shooting at the rat in fear of breaking the vases. All he would have said was that all lives were predetermined.

Back when he was in the sky, Gao Peng had already noticed a residential area located a distance away from the Youhu Tribe. He borrowed Second Baby's skilled eyes and saw that there were girls there wearing uniforms from Earth. There were also numerous people from the Youhu Tribe there in charge of "supervising" them.

With the tap of a finger, the void before his eyes distorted, but there was nothing to be seen after the distortion ended. "Go and rescue those girls. If you see anyone from the Youhu Tribe, kill them," Gao Peng said to the empty air before his eyes.

There was wind circulating in the air.

The Youhu Tribe was located not far away from them. After the mountain fell from the sky and reduced the Youhu Tribe into a wasteland, many girls covered their mouths and kneeled on the ground. They were unable to suppress the excitement that they felt… There were also a few delicate and pretty-looking boys in the mix.

Even though they hadn't seen how Yaohu Tribe was reduced into a wasteland, just feeling the earth tremors beneath their feet was enough for them to imagine what had happened there.

The few monster trainers who were responsible for supervising this place hurriedly rushed out from their rooms before they could even finish putting on their clothes. When they ran out, they saw a mountain falling from the sky and crushing the Earthlord Serpent.

The Patriarch's familiar had been suppressed. How did these little bandits still have the guts to remain there? They had summoned their familiars and brought everything from home with them. They looked at the young and beautiful girls surrounding them; some paid no attention to them and escaped straight away, while others caught hold of two girls before continuing their escape.

Some of the more intelligent girls knew that something big had happened, so they hurriedly hid in rice tanks or beneath beds. Other girls took advantage of when there was no one watching them to escape from this place, but as for what kind of future they could have on their own in the wilderness, that was a different story.

A majestic man riding on a Black Lion picked up a woman beside him and then commanded his beast to run away. The eyes of the woman he held in his arms were blank. She was just like a marionette.

Psh! A crack suddenly appeared in the space between the Black Lion's eyes.

The blood that came spilling out stained the transparent Fifth Baby. The area that was soaked in blood and exposed to the air was like a dyed crystal, but the part that wasn't contaminated with fresh blood on his torso was completely transparent. He was just waiting for the wind to carry over its opponent's breath to let Yin Guang know that there was a horrifying monster currently facing it.

Only it could see itself, but not the other way around.

The sound of friction could be heard as Fifth Baby withdrew from between the Black Lion's eyes. The Black Lion fell to the ground with a clamor, and the heat from its corpse started to dissipate.

Before he could sigh in relief, the sound of fierce wind drifted to his ears. It was as if his neck had been bitten by a mosquito, and the next moment, he saw himself flying.

That headless corpse is so familiar… Fifth Baby trembled slightly, becoming transparent again after shaking off the bloodstains.

Ten minutes later, this small assembly ground had recovered its silence. A strange monster appeared in the heart of the assembly ground, its entire body transparent like a crystal carving.

Its shape was similar to an ant, though there were two short, rough, and pointed horns on its head, and a pair of huge crustacean wings on its back.

[Monster Name: Hidden Dragon Ant (Fifth Baby/Xiao Wu)

[Monster Level: Level 66 (Emperor-tier)

[Monster Grade: Epic/Epic

[Monster Attribute: Light

[Monster Weakness: Dark

Monster Ability: Optical Stealth Level 6, Odor Disguise Level 5, Sharp Limbs Level 5

[Special Characteristic: The Perfect Assassin (the ability to stab a monster's bones while remaining hidden.

Passive Effect 1: Absorb all sounds that travel through its body.

Passive Effect 2: Tasteless blood: its blood does not have any taste.)

Pssst… Fifth Baby, Xiao Wu, waved its claws to signal for these people to follow after it. However, because it was half transparent, very few people noticed it…

Xiao Wu was furious. Why do people always ignore me?!

Gao Peng noticed what was happening over there and summoned the clever Sixth Baby to assist Xiao Wu in bringing these people over to the Spatial Rift.

Sixth Baby, who had inherited the ability of the Smoke Dragon, could summon smoke in the void and form words with it. It was much better to communicate with than Xiao Wu.

As for whether or not they were willing to go… Gao Peng didn't care about that anymore. They were the ones with their legs, and they had to walk their own paths. Moreover, on the faraway horizon, a black line was steadily approaching.

Thunder flashed wildly in the sky, the dark lightning dancing maniacally like a snake.

Second Baby was sprawled across Fourth Baby's back, its two snow-white eyes like two lightbulbs.

"Did you see it?"

"I saw it. There are a total of seven monsters. The one at the forefront is a gigantic black tiger with a black thunderbolt on its body. It seems to be an Overlord-tier monster."

As if the Earthlord Serpent that had been suppressed beneath Stripey's buttocks had sensed the presence of the other Overlord-tier monster in the tribe, it started to struggle wildly. However, Stripey had used its earth ability to completely cover the ground beneath its feet. There was no way to escape, be it upwards or down.

Who should I send this time…? Gao Peng thought about it for a moment. A gigantic black tiger with a black thunderbolt on its body… Since that's the case, then I'll choose you.

Click. He tapped his finger.

The void distorted. What appeared was a creature with bronze-colored skin that was filled with the power of an explosive nature, and there were dark blue patterns all over its body.

Its strong body crouched on the ground as it lifted its expressionless face. "Indeed. You've made the most brilliant choice again," Goldie said quietly.

When Goldie rubbed its bald head, it couldn't help but sigh with sorrow. "I know that when you're in times of need, I'll be the first thing that you think of."

Gao Peng's face darkened. "Enough with the crap. There's about to be a horrifying battle soon. You should adjust your state."

"Don't worry, Master," Goldie said confidently. After saying that, Goldie turned around and gazed in the direction of the Jiuli Tiger. Its legs were bent and its wings were raised high as if it were a battle plane about to take off.

As Goldie stared ahead with luminous eyes, its little yellow mouth revealing a trace of domineering confidence. "When I advance to the Emperor tier, I'll have no more Emperor-tier opponents. When I advance to Overlord-tier, I'll be a decorated king who lacks nothing!" Goldie mumbled with the belief that it had special powers unlike others, its eyes fixed firmly on the advancing Jiuli Tiger.

Smash!!!

Goldie backed off and stamped on the ground. A large piece of land cracked and shattered, the stones that were kicked up flying more than 100 feet high. Goldie transformed into a blur and slammed into the Jiuli Tiger.

"Little kitty, have a taste of your golden grandfather's fist!"

Chapter 568: The Jiuli Tiger

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

The Jiuli Tiger's eyes were flashing with tranquility despite its suppressed anger as it silently watched the blur that came rushing over. In its eyes, the blur could be dismantled—a big difference in the levels of their abilities would result in only destroyed apparitions being seen, but in a situation where the levels of its ability were negligible, it would see the other party's movements clearly.

It thought about many things. It had born into this tribe seven hundred years earlier. The size of the Youhu Tribe had ranged from medium to large. They had existed for tens of thousands for years, and every generation had lived on this land.

For many of the clan members in the Youhu Tribe, this piece of land was their ancestral home where many of their ancestors had really lived.

After the tiger became a High Priest of the Youhu Tribe, it obtained the inheritance of the former High Priest, the Yin Tiger. The former High Priest had said that they weren't born on this piece of land—the fact was, they had come from a mysterious and faraway place a long, long, long time ago. That place was where their true home was.

At the same time, the former High Priest had said that their main responsibility was making sure that they returned home. Even though the snake didn't understand anything about the ancestral ground, it remembered that the former High Priest was the only reason why it was where it was that day. Thus, after it learned about the existence of the Earth Star, it sent some of the clan members to the former ancestral ground.

It hadn't expected the ancestral ground to be a good place, after all. Even though there were various restrictions there and only King-tier familiars could go over, they found out that there were people who had been living there for a long time. Moreover, those people were all holy individuals as mentioned in the legends.

Giving birth to more children… Perhaps that could change the next generation of the Youhu Tribe's talents. If everybody in the Youhu Tribe could be holy individuals, as long as their soul strengths met the requirements, they would be able to continuously recruit familiars. Perhaps then, the Youhu Tribe would be able to develop into a super tribe eventually.

The Jiuli Tiger had received news that some of the clan members had witnessed the birth of Holy Spirit Blood Coral in the northern blood-cloud showers two days ago. This was a sign of prosperity for future generations, and as such, it had happily led its clan members there to retrieve the Holy Spirit Blood Coral.

However, they received information that the tribe was under a sudden attack when they were halfway through that process. The Jiuli Tiger then hurriedly rushed back with the clan members to serve as reinforcements.

Initially, it was just that a huge mountain had appeared at the tribe's location. The Jiuli Tiger thought that it had misread the information, but after rubbing its eyes, it realized that it wasn't being deceived by its eyes.

It was correct that a mountain had appeared at the tribe's location, and if that was the case, where had the tribe disappeared to? This thought made the Yin Tiger frantic.

With an angry roar, the Jiuli Tiger's body was illuminated by violent lightning bolts. The lightning bolts shredded the void and flooded the space with a lightning shower, drowning Goldie.

However, Goldie wore the lightning bolts on its body like a monks robe. It stepped into the lightning sea and took large strides, then it spread its right hand wide open and abruptly grabbed at the sky.

The minute muscles in its fingers instantly started to tremble rapidly. The air and gold elements came together swiftly in its palm and formed extremely tiny visible spinning cyclones. Whoosh!

Goldie took a step out as if it was the Devil King Kong emerging. Gold rays continually blossomed in its right hand.

Boom! Its palm landed harshly on the Jiuli Tiger's claw. Air waves rolled as the majestic strength was transmitted through the air. The void looked like it was about to be shattered.

The Jiuli Tiger let out a stream of pitiful cries and retreated. Even when the fist and claws of both parties met, Goldie continued to passively execute its attack. Its physical quality was instantly increased to the next level, and the sudden surge of strength was transformed into an abundant and tremendous force that traveled downwards.

The strength of the force wasn't in any way reduced as blows continued to land on the Jiuli Tiger's claws like a big sledgehammer. The Jiuli Tiger's claws twisted, broke with a crisp sound, and were subsequently sent flying through the air by this slap.

Immediately after, a white gas that hadn't been released yet lingered for a long time in the air, not dissipating.

Having obtained this result with only one blow, Goldie didn't compromise his dominance over the Jiuli Tiger.

With both fists squeezed shut and all the muscles in its body tightened, Goldie leaped into the air and came smashing down with a force that was equivalent to Mount Hua with the intention of splitting its opponent in half.

The Jiuli Tiger made use of its flexibility to dodge the attack and avoid it completely. However, Goldie had seen this coming. It turned around and stepped on the Jiuli Tiger's waist, almost breaking it.

The Yin Tiger didn't dare to continue its attack due to the pain it was in. It relinquished its control over its opponent, which unexpectedly allowed the Jiuli Tiger to be able to regain control of its own body.

It was more convenient for the Jiuli Tiger to control its own body on the battlefield. The familiar's consciousness could produce a miraculous effect at times.

After taking over its body, the Jiuli Tiger was like a big flexible cat that moved relentlessly on the battlefield. It was akin to a crafty and seasoned hunter secretly hunting its prey; it didn't come face-to-face with its prey. Instead, it waited for a chance to pounce.

Goldie's body would be clawed from time to time, and its passive skill would be activated occasionally, but as time passed…

The battle between the Jiuli Tiger and Goldie grew increasingly difficult as Goldie's passive skill was continuously activated. Even though it had seemed like the Jiuli Tiger and Goldie were equally matched when the former first took over its body, that was nothing more than a mere illusion.

Towards the end, the Jiuli Tiger realized a horrifying truth—I'm no longer able to guard myself against the damage?

"I…" The Jiuli Tiger found the chance to pounce on Goldie and scratched its chest.

Goldie frowned… It's a little ticklish. The white prints on its strong chest muscles were particularly eye-catching.

The Yin Tiger that was possessing the Jiuli Tiger's body was beyond astonished, its chest filled with fury. What's there to continue fighting for if even my defensive monster is unable to defeat it?! How is my opponent so strong?

Just when it was contemplating a change in strategies, Goldie laughed coldly. It said, "Do you want to run away now after fighting your golden grandfather for such a long time? I've seen many monsters like you!"

Goldie rushed up and grabbed the Jiuli Tiger's tail. Its movements were quick and precise, leaving no room for mistakes.

"Hehe," Goldie laughed. Its right hand curled into a fist, and it stuck one thumb out from between its index and middle fingers. It aimed for the Jiuli Tiger's tail and pressed down mercilessly!

The Jiuli Tiger looked to the sky and roared. As a familiar that was supposed to guard the Youhu Tribe, and as the top veteran Overlord-tier monster that was supposed to protect its people, when had it ever been subjected to such humiliation?

"Roar—" Its legs had nearly become jelly.

Goldie's eyes lit up as it watched the Jiuli Tiger crumble to the ground from behind. It suddenly thought of a classic scene. It instantly rolled over and sat on the Jiuli Tiger's back, then pinched the thick fur on the back of the Jiuli Tiger's neck with its left hand and pressed it into the mud!

The Jiuli Tiger was in a lot of pain. It started snarling. A huge pit had been formed beneath its body, and two piles of black soil hills were placed on top of the Jiuli Tiger.

Goldie lifted its fist that was as big as a water cooler and hammered the surface of its opponent. It gradually started shouting in excitement.

Goldie then engaged the use of its hands and feet in kicking and punching the Jiuli Tiger's head, ears, and eyes. The hammering caused the Jiuli Tiger to see stars, the top of its head growing dark. The Jiuli Tiger couldn't help but release the lightning bolts within its body.

Everything in a 6,000-mile-long radius had been transformed into a lightning pool. These lightning bolts smothered Goldie's body but didn't appear to cause much harm. Instead, Goldie grew even more thrilled.

After a long moment of enthusiasm, Goldie finally stopped itself, even though that wasn't what it wished to do. Before it, the only thing the Jiuli Tiger could do was exhale. It couldn't breathe. Its head had nearly been hammered into a paste—white, yellow, and red fluids flowed out from its nose and mouth.

Gao Peng didn't find this surprising, as Goldie had reached Level 77 long ago. The reason why Goldie's level had been able to rise so quickly was that it had received a special opportunity.

Even though the Jiuli Tiger's level was higher than Goldie's, its grade was lower. Moreover, the Jiuli Tiger's main combat power was its control over lightning. This was completely restrained by Goldie's elemental resistance.

"I've unlocked another accomplishment," Goldie told Stripey while kneeling on its back.

Stripey asked, "What accomplishment?"

"Brother Goldie defeated the tiger. You'll have to call me God Goldie from now on," Goldie said delightedly.

Report chapter

"Got Goldie?" Stripey asked belatedly.

Goldie was puzzled. "It's God Goldie! Not Got Goldie!" It was furious. Stripey's tone is so problematic.

"Oh." Stripey patted its buttocks.

The Earthlord Serpent beneath its butt grew giddy from being rubbed. Stripey took a deep breath. The disastrous black clouds floating overhead suddenly started flowing in reverse and fell into the crack in Stripey's back like waterfalls that were trying to wash something away.

However, these waterfalls weren't made of water. Instead, the mass of concentrated black clouds had resulted in the formation of scorching black clouds that could burn a large area into magma.

Light flickered inside the crevices on the surface of Stripey's body as the boiling heat seeped inside. Stripey's body temperature rose unyieldingly.

The ground of the region in which Stripey was the center gradually grew dry and cracked. The color of the black soil grew lighter and lighter, like it was the earth crust expanding—densely-packed veins in the shape of a spiderweb continued to spread outwards. Vapor filled the entire sky, and with the white mist curling in the air, the place looked like paradise at first glance.

Gao Peng was overlooking this scene from the sky. The snake was like a hot water bottle, and the temperature in the pot it was in had already risen to an impossible level. Stripey was like a branded and powerful water heater, made exclusively to cook monsters. Beneath Stripey were non-stop slamming sounds, as well as the Earthlord Serpent's pitiful cries of struggle.

Even though these cries were very distressing, Gao Peng remained indifferent. There were consequences to everything, so he couldn't soften his heart when it came to his enemies.

This wasn't the first monster that was being steamed in this manner by Stripey. Six months earlier, an Overlord-tier Blue-Heart Devil Ray in the Black Fog World had been cooked alive by Stripey as well, and in the end, it had become… Well, its meat had been soft and chewy.

Half an hour later, the Earthlord Serpent's strength started to decline. If it had been a monster from another tier, it would have died long ago. However, even though the Earthlord Serpent had suffered grievous injuries and close to 90 percent of its body had been cooked, it hadn't given up its desire to remain alive.

The only problem was that its strength was growing weaker, and it had basically already become a Chinese dish.

The moment Da Zi appeared, the entire sky became filled with the sound of thunder and bolts of lightning. All eighteen pairs of its wings were stretched out comfortably. These huge wings caused infinite lightning to cover the sky, and the proximity to an Electric-type monster enabled a thunderstorm to break out.

The densely packed lightning bolts that were born from the void were instantly attracted to the top of Da Zi's head. Suddenly, the sky was rife with lightning flashes and thunder rolls, and the climate underwent an abrupt change.

If the lightning bolts summoned by the Jiuli Tiger could be described as a pool, the ones summoned by Da Zi could have been a lake.

Da Zi, presently at Level 75, was two levels lower than the Jiuli Tiger. However, the degree of Da Zi's control over lightning was higher than that of the latter. Based on its grade alone, Da Zi could have flung it two streets away.

Da Zi picked up the fragrance in the air the moment it was summoned. Its eyes lit up. "Ah, Gao Peng, you lived up to my expectations after all by summoning me when there was something delicious!"

"Stripey, shift your buttocks to the side." Da Zi couldn't help rushing Stripey.

"This little earthworm isn't dead yet," Stripey told Da Zi.

"I know it's not dead, but your movements are too slow. Let me provide some extra help," Da Zi replied.

Stripey shifted its butt away. The Earthlord Serpent, which hadn't given up and was still trying its best to struggle, suddenly felt a gust of cool wind brush its head. It opened its eyes groggily, thinking… Am I being rescued? Indeed, never give up hope, even in times of desperation. As long as there is hope, there is life…

The lightning waterfall instantly fell upon the Earthlord Serpent and drowned it.

"Hm! How fragrant! It's a little more tender than that fish last time." A group of familiars had gathered and were eating it scrumptiously.

Three hours ago, the people guarding the base had remained silent as they watched Gao Peng disappear into the Spatial Rift. Afterward, they started cleaning up the battle scene in an orderly fashion under the command of the team leader.

"He's manly, but he's too impulsive…" Team Leader Chen Min shook his head. Despite that, he admired people like Gao Peng from the bottom of his heart.

Two hours later, three big trucks came rolling in slowly from the mountain road. The rear compartments of the army-green trucks were wrapped beneath dark green cloth. It was impossible to tell what they contained from the outside.

The military track stopped in the parking lot in front of the Spatial Rift. An unshaven man in a black coat took a long drag on his cigarette, inhaling everything into his lungs.

"Settle this by yourselves, I'm going to smoke." The man walked over to the bushes by the side and squatted down there. He stared at the messy grass on the ground and went into a daze. Even though this wasn't the first time, he would still panic every time something like this happened.

Someone patted his shoulder. When the man in the black coat turned around and saw Team Leader Chen Min, who was in charge of this place, he hurriedly stood up and handed over his cigarette.

"That's not necessary. Send this batch of girls back to wherever they came from." Perhaps it was because he had been moved by Gao Peng's behavior, or perhaps he had been condemned by his conscience, but when Chen Min opened the car door and met the eyes of the girls inside, he shut it again silently.

"Ah?" Zhang Tao was overcome by surprise first before he shook his head frantically. "No, that can't be done, we'll all die if that happens."

Chen Min frowned. However, he was well aware of what Zhang Tao feared. "Don't worry, I'll cover you and say that we were attacked by monsters halfway through the route."

"No, no way." Zhang Tao resolutely opposed it. The volume of his voice was even louder now. He thought… What you're doing now is pushing me into a fire pit.

He had felt a bit guilty about transporting these girls over here at the start, but at that moment, his feelings of guilt had disappeared without a trace. "It's their problem that they were chosen. Why should I become a scapegoat for them?" Zhang Tao clenched his fists tightly.

The sympathy that he had formerly felt was just a form of pity from the perspective of a bystander, but when he transitioned from a bystander into a participant, all his compassion vanished into thin air. All that remained was anger when his own interests were violated.

Chen Min's expression remained the same. He pulled a pistol out of his trousers, lifted his hand, and fired at Zhang Tao.

Bang!

"Don't worry, I'll tell everyone that you died in the line of duty," Chen Min said.

A fiery red barrier suddenly appeared before Zhang Tao's eyes. A lustrous and metallic bullet was lodged in the barrier. He looked at Chen Min, then hurriedly escaped into the woods behind him.

The sounds of battle rang out from where the trucks were. Immediately after that, a fiery red ape had its head bitten off and was killed on the spot. The red barrier floating around Zhang Tao suddenly vanished, and an expressionless Chen Min pulled the trigger.

Bang! A flower of blood bloomed.

"Team Leader, someone is emerging from the Spatial Rift," a soldier yelled.

Chen Min's expression changed, but he didn't lose control. He ordered his familiar to swallow the corpses of Chen Min and his familiar while taking large strides over.

His intentions were changing, and he had already figured out an excuse, but when his gaze landed on the girls who had emerged from the Spatial Rift, the excuses in Chen Min's mind vanished instantly. All that was left was a long moment of horror…

Chapter 570: Above the Overlord Tier

Chen Min's pupils suddenly shrank as an unbelievable guess surfaced in his mind.

Initially, he had thought this was just an illusion. However, after carefully looking over the scene several times, he ascertained that this was not an illusion—this was someone who was alive and well!

Am I dreaming? Chen Min, who had always been a calm person in the eyes of the soldiers, patted his own face and took two deep breaths. It would be possible to find out exactly what had happened by interrogating these girls.

"Madam, hello," Chen Wen said sincerely with an amiable smile.

The girl watched Chen Wen cautiously. She appeared slightly fearful and took two steps backward in a silent retreat. It was as if the person standing before her was the devil himself.

"Can you please tell me what happened on the other side? Is there any way we can offer you help?" Chen Min asked.

The girl remained silent. She crossed her arms and hugged her shoulders, then gently bit her lip. She said in a low voice, "Don't send me back if I tell you, okay?"

The smile on Chen Min's face grew stiff. He nodded. "All right, don't worry. I swear not to send you back there. I can even arrange for the transport team to take you guys to the nearest base city… Of course, you can also choose which base city you want to go to." Chen Min hurriedly changed his tune at the last moment when he saw the alarm and fear in the girl's eyes.

The girl nodded frantically. "I don't wish to return to Qingzhou. Please don't send me back to Qingzhou." She had been captured in Qingzhou and didn't know if the group of people who had abducted her back there were still stationed beneath her house. In that case, it was only natural that she dare not return.

The uneasy girl told Chen Min everything that she had witnessed there. After Chen Min heard her account, he nodded calmly and looked as though he was deep in thought when the reality was that he was incredibly shocked.

"I see. Thank you. I'll go and prepare the transportation for you right now." Chen Min felt extremely horrified—a mountain had landed on the Youhu Tribe and turned it upside down, and the monster trainers in charge of supervising the girls had all been killed by invisible monsters.

To prevent himself from receiving the wrong information, Chen Min conducted solo interrogations on several other girls and obtained results that were no different from each other. Unless the girls had colluded well in advance, their mental states didn't seem feigned.

Chen Min had obtained valuable information from one of them. The Overlord-tier familiar of the Youhu Tribe, the Earthlord Serpent, had made an appearance, as well. When the girls left, they had only seen that the Earthlord Serpent seemed to have been crushed by the mountain, and as for what happened afterward, they were uncertain.

Exchanging blows with an Overlord-tier familiar… Even though Chen Min's gut feeling told him that it was unlikely that this had anything to do with the person who had entered the Spatial Rift earlier and could just be a coincidence, his rationality caused him to repeatedly tell himself that not many coincidences existed in this world.

But… But if a battle between Overlord-tier familiars was involved, Chen Min couldn't imagine Overlord-tier monsters in this generation when the King-tier monsters had only just reached the highest point.

A silhouetted figure came walking out soundlessly from the Spatial Rift. The soldiers guarding the rift were taken aback when they realized that it was Gao Peng. Gao Peng laughed lightly and placed his index finger against his lips.

Thereafter, Fourth Baby that was summoned from the cave and flew straight into the sky.

Since all the people in the Youhu Tribe who were to be killed had been eliminated, Gao Peng couldn't be bothered to stay in that world and waste his time there. Even though it was a new world that nobody from Earth Star had ever set foot upon, it didn't mean that the world was desolate and uninhabited. Gao Peng had heard that many ancient tribes lived in that world, and after tens of thousands of years had passed, he believed that it would be difficult for him to make any surprising gains. On top of this, he was unsure about the other tribes' attitudes towards him. As such, he immediately left the Youhu Tribe district the moment his goal was achieved.

However, it wasn't as if Gao Peng hadn't managed to reap any benefits, either…

In his pocket, two silver metal balls bounced around gently. Gao Peng scooped the two Meteorite Magic Balls into his palm and played with them. That was how two Emperor-tier Meteorite Magic Balls became Gao Peng's exercise balls and allowed him to train his wrist strength.

As for signing a Blood Contract… Gao Peng didn't really cherish these two Meteorite Magic Balls. These balls were very valuable to ancient tribe people who could only possess one familiar each, but they meant nothing to Gao Peng.

Secondly, these Meteorite Magic Balls had no special eye-catching ability, and ever since he had forced the Seven Dragon Ant Brothers into submission, Gao Peng's desire to subdue any other familiars had basically been diminished.

This was because Gao Peng's original line-up of familiars already included almost all the different types; the only thing lacking was his meticulous grooming.

Moreover, the Seven Dragon Ant Brothers had a myriad of abilities, and they had developed various auxiliary abilities, as well. The only thing left to do was further groom them.

The most important reason was that after rising to the Overlord-tier, Gao Peng had awakened a brand-new Overlord-tier monster trainer ability. This ability was also one that would be awakened in all Overlord-tier monster trainers. Compared to this ability, the Meteorite Magic Ball had become redundant to Gao Peng.

It was also no wonder that Gao Peng didn't try to find the Meteorite Magic Balls possessed by the two Overlord-tier monster trainers. Instead, he had found these two Meteorite Magic Balls from the other Emperor-tier monster trainers in the Youhu Tribe. As for whether there were more Meteorite Magic Balls or similar monsters that were yet to be discovered, Gao Peng didn't care.

The Great Altar Cutter, Fatty Big Sea, Dumby, and the rest hadn't followed Gao Peng back to Earth Star. They remained in the Black Fog World to establish the foundation for Gao Peng's expansion plans.

"I wonder what level Dumby is at now. Has he broken beyond Level 80?" When Gao Peng thought about Dumby, who was still in the Black Fog World, his face involuntarily turned gentle.

Unlike Da Zi and the rest, Dumby's change in levels was truly a metamorphosis—this was also related to Dumby's inherent ability.

Fatty Big Sea could always find the corpses of dead monsters at the bottom of the sea. The skeletal remains of these monsters couldn't be revived even though their levels had been higher than Dumby's when they were still alive.

Therefore, the method Dumby adopted was simple and violent. It absorbed the soul power lingering in these skeletons straight away.

Dumby had already reached Level 80 when Gao Peng left, and that was only one step away from the Saint tier. The Saint tier was the realm above the Overlord tier, and its level category was from Levels 81 to 90. Going above Level 91 would allow it to be considered a Semi-God.

The Lord-tier monsters could awaken the Lord-tier aura, and the subsequent King-tier, Emperor-tier, and Overlord-tier monsters didn't entail any special changes. It was nothing more than the Lord aura reaching the King tier, Emperor tier, and Overlord tier. The aspects of power and coverage continued to increase, as well.

But according to Fatty Big Sea, the Saint tier was different from the levels before it. When the monster or familiar advanced to the Saint tier, it would develop a whole new ability—Domain! It was also known as the Holy Domain.

All monsters of the same nature below the Saint tier would suffer immense suppression within the Holy Domain. The precondition was that these monsters had to have the same attributes!

During a fight between a Saint-tier Water-type familiar and a Water-type familiar beneath the Saint tier, the water element manipulation ability of the monster beneath Saint-tier would be tremendously suppressed. According to Gao Peng's understanding, the monster's water element manipulation level would decline.

If the world was treated like software, and the control over an element were the instructions needed to operate it, the jurisdiction of the Saint tier was higher than those beneath its tier. This was equivalent to the scope of authority being inhibited… A figure of authority that abused its power.

Chapter 571: A Storm is Brewing

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

However, advancing from the Overlord tier to the Saint tier wasn't an easy task. Otherwise, there would have been an abundance of Saint-tier monsters by then. In order to reach the Saint tier, there were a few more requirements other than level requirement that an Overlord-tier monster had to meet.

It should have attained at the very least a high mastery level of its native element. This was what Gao Peng and Fatty Big Sea were able to find out. The lowest elemental mastery level a monster needed to have in order to advance to the Saint tier was Level 7. Some monsters only had Level 6 mastery over their elements, which was further boosted to Level 7 by their innate traits. Whether this counted as Level 7 still remained to be seen.

Most people had no immediate way of quantifying the traits and abilities of their familiars like Gao Peng. To them, these details were indistinguishable from one another.

Meeting the elemental mastery level requirement would certainly be essential for a monster's transition into Saint tier. However, monsters without the ability to control the elements could still reach the Saint tier by upgrading some aspect of themselves to Level 7. However, such monsters were rare compared to ones who could upgrade their elemental counterparts.

Back in Mo Du, there was less than a day left until Gao Peng's inevitable annihilation of the Youhu Tribe.

The sky had grown dark. Without waking any of the five students from their sleep, Gao Peng went to sleep in his own quarters. He soon fell into a deep sleep. However, some had trouble sleeping that night…

Tong Xiang was rolling around restlessly in his bed. No matter how hard he pressed his eyes shut, slumber eluded him still. He was still going over the things he had said during the day. In truth, he had no idea if they would be of any use to Gao Peng.

If Gao Peng couldn't bring down the Youhu Tribe, Tong Xiang himself would probably be punished, as well. Even though he was the high priest's only son, he was still not immune to criticism from his own kin.

His familiar's death had cost him his reputation among his peers. He had sustained severe spiritual damage from the death of his Six-Tusked Brahman Elephant. Not only had his father spent plenty of precious materials on healing his soul, but he had also taken great pains to find Tong Xiang another familiar. Due to the spiritual damage he had sustained, his second familiar's level was considerably lower than the Six-Tusked Brahman Elephant's had been.

His fall from grace had caused him to fall out of favor with his peers. If it hadn't been for the fact that his father was the tribe's high priest… Still, nasty rumors always had a habit of circulating around the tribe.

In order to distance himself from his fellow tribesmen's gossip, Tong Xiang had decided to leave the Nihon region behind and move to Mo Du for a change of pace.

It wasn't long after reaching Mo Du that he learned of Gao Peng's return. Tong Ling had warned him against going after Gao Peng. Then, he saw the latter summoning an Emperor-tier familiar right in front him in order to strike down an Emperor-tier familiar that had been sent from the Youhu Tribe.

He knew that the gap between him and Gao Peng was growing wider and wider. He was gradually being left in the dust… Some people were just born with all the luck in the world. Others, not so much.

Deciding that it was pointless to try to sleep at this point, Tong Xiang got out of bed and gazed at the lights of Mo Du, the city that never sleeped.

Suddenly, his phone rang beside his pillow. "I'll stop my thuggish wayyys. I don't like sleeping on a cold, empty beeeed."

It was his father. He would only be calling me in the middle of the night if there was an emergency. Tong Xiang quickly picked up his phone.

"Are you in Mo Du now?" asked his father solemnly.

"Yes, I'm in Mo Du now," said Tong Xiang hesitantly.

"Did you by any chance piss off Gao Peng?"

Tong Xiang raised an eyebrow. This is what you're calling me for? "I don't think so. I met up with him this afternoon, and he even brought me back home," replied Tong Xiang. There was no point in hiding this. A dedicated mind would find out about his meeting with Gao Peng in no time.

His father fell silent on the other end of the line. Eventually, he said, "Don't get on Gao Peng's bad side now. I know you two have had your differences in the past, but I just want to let you know that everyone in the Sang Tong Tribe has decided to let bygones be bygones. Watch yourself now. Try to… be his friend, if you can."

Tong Xiang sensed that something was up. "Dad, did something happen? Why are you being so…"

Tong Bing was silent for a moment, then he said, "The Youhu Tribe was wiped out by Gao Peng."

"What?!" shouted Tong Xiang. He couldn't believe what he had just heard.

"It happened four hours ago. Some of our spies sent us footage of the whole thing. The higher-ups in the tribe have all been made aware of this. The ramifications of Gao Peng's actions are unthinkable."

Tong Xiang didn't know when he hung up the phone. The only thing in his mind was this one sentence—the Youhu Tribe had been annihilated. At first, he thought the old man was just pulling his leg, but then he remembered that his father wasn't one to play pranks, especially in the dead of night.

A tribe whose power rivaled even that of the Sang Tong tribe had been extinguished. It was like being told that someone whom you had seen and greeted just that morning had suddenly died a tragic death…

Tong Xiang knew that the void left behind by the Youhu Tribe would reverberate throughout the world. He tried to recall the scene where he parted ways with Gao Peng just this afternoon. Tong Xiang had waved goodbye to him, smiling, as if they were going to meet up later for a pleasant dinner.

To think that he was still worrying that he would be dragged into Gao Peng's mess if the latter failed to take out the Youhu Tribe! "Wah! This Gao b*stard sure is brutal!"

Tong Xiang was shaking like a leaf in a mixture of fear and excitement. The consequences of Gao Peng's actions had yet to manifest themselves. It was quite common to plant spies in other factions these days. Thanks to the spies planted in the Youhu Tribe, the Sang Tong Tribe had been able to receive word of the Youhu Tribe's decimation before everyone else.

Upon receiving word of this, a major tribe like the Sang Tong Tribe would first dispatch its Overlord-tier trainers to inspect the scene in order to verify the news.

In just one night, the younger members of the ancient clan were informed of this tragedy by their elders. This was genocide. None of them had witnessed such a wilful display of brutality in a long time.

Gao Peng was sending them a message through the annihilation of the Youhu Tribe.

Hearing about it through word of mouth was one thing, but experiencing it personally was an entirely different matter. The Youhu Tribe had become quite unruly of late; they had simply reaped what they had sown.

Was Gao Peng sending the tribes of the ancient clan a warning? There weren't too many tribes on Earth that were stronger than the Youhu Tribe. Most of them were either on the same power level or inferior to the latter.

That Gao Peng was able to easily decimate the Youhu Tribe meant that he could just as easily reduce any of their populations to zero. The tribes of the ancient clan decided that it was best not to step out of line for now, especially when none of them had any idea just how powerful Gao Peng was.

The next day, Tong Xiang made his way to Mo Du Stadium, where the National High School Championship would be taking place. Along the way, he saw a couple of familiar faces and a few not so familiar ones. However, he could tell that they were all from his tribe.

He knew that none of these people had any intention of watching the championship. They were all going to the stadium to catch a glimpse of a certain… someone.

Only a few had heard about what happened the day before, and most of them were from the ancient clan. Unless Gao Peng decided to broadcast his actions to the public, the only thing they could do for now was actively keep it under wraps.

Gao Peng couldn't be bothered to let the whole world know what he had done. He only hoped that his intended audience had received his message. If the whole world caught wind of this, it would open up a whole new can of worms like never before.

There were still 32 teams remaining in the event, meaning they still need to go through 31 rounds. They had gone through 32 rounds the day before in the Mo Du Stadium. The remaining rounds were scheduled to take place that day.

Gao Peng had seated himself comfortably in the auditorium. After a while, an official-looking man came over to invite him and the others to their own private suite. The five students were muttering excitedly to each other. Who would have thought that the principal's reputation was enough to earn them a private suite?

"No need. I'm just chaperoning my school's team today as a normal teacher. Don't mind me. Just carry on with your day," said Gao Peng, waving the man off.

"I understand." Not wanting to bother Gao Peng any longer, the man gave him a deep bow before leading his subordinates down from the auditorium.

A while later, Gao Peng suddenly began to feel uncomfortable. Thanks to his heightened senses, he could feel ten pairs of eyes watching him from the shadows. This made him feel uneasy.

After being stared at for some time, Gao Peng stood up. When he did so, he could feel at least half of the spies averting their eyes away from him.

"Wait here," he said to his team.

Gao Peng went off to find the man who had offered him his own private suite just now. It felt awkward having to ask for help from someone he had refused not too long ago.

"The private suite is reserved especially for you, sir. Unwanted attention is almost always unavoidable for someone with your reputation," said the man, the words rolling off his tongue as if he had been saying them for a long time.

Gao Peng brought the five students to the waiting area. "You guys still need to get ready for the event. I can't stay here with you, as I'll just be distracting you with all the attention I'm getting out here. Don't worry; I'll be cheering for you from my room," said Gao Peng, patting each of their shoulders as a sign of encouragement.

The event finally came to a close when night fell. Tiange Academy was able to beat Huawu High School by the skin of their teeth. Only the members of the Huawu High School team and their sponsors knew what had gone wrong.

There was a Level-45 Epic-grade Assassin-type familiar in the Huawu High School team. In theory, there was no way the Sky Sparrow could beat it. However, the Assassin-type familiar made a misstep at the most critical moment, allowing itself to be ensnared by the Devil Vine Mountain Climbing Monster's vines. The Sky Sparrow saw the opportunity and went in for the kill, unleashing its Cloud Fusillade on its opponent.

The five students excitedly came up to Gao Peng. "Principal, did you see how in sync we were just now? I bet we looked cool out there, didn't we?" one of them asked, grinning from ear to ear at their principal.

Gao Peng simply patted their heads, smiling without a word. Upon receiving their trophy, Gao Peng returned to the Southern Sky Group to resume his reclusive way of life.

He spent the next few days in his laboratory enhancing the grades of some of his subordinates' familiars. This, in turn, improved their innate potential and combat power.

In that time, the White Dragon, Silver Dragon, and Blood Eye Bearded Vulture managed to reach the Emperor tier. Out of the three of them, the White Dragon possessed the most potential for growth, which allowed it to instantly jump to Level 64. Its combat power had also increased tenfold as a result.

A Level-64 Epic-grade familiar was by no means weak. Now that the tier limit was raised to Emperor-tier, Epic-grade was probably the highest most familiars could attain, especially in a world where Overlord-tier monsters still couldn't exist.

Gao Peng already had most of the ingredients necessary for the White Dragon's advancement to Legendary grade ready. The only thing he was missing was a True Dragon Fruit. The mystic realm would open up once again in two years' time. The White Dragon would have to wait for another two years before Gao Peng could improve its grade.

Aside from improving the grades of his familiars, Gao Peng had nothing else planned for the foreseeable future. Before he could even think about taking a rest, someone came knocking on his door.

"Sorry for knocking on your door at this hour. I hope I'm not bothering you," said a dignified-looking old man clad in a military uniform. Gao Peng shook his head. "Not at all. If anything, I welcome the intrusion. It must be tiring, having to come all the way here."

The old man said, chuckling, "Just doing my part in serving the Huaxia region." He then looked at Gao Peng intensely.

Gao Peng waved a hand at his guest. "Please, stop staring at me."

He rose to his feet and poured the old man a cup of tea. "Come, try this. My grandpa likes this particular brand of tea. The tea leaves were chosen meticulously by the Red Snow Tea Plant Monster. It's said to improve your circulation and concentration."

The old man didn't object to this. "I should definitely give it a try, then."

The bodyguard behind him was about to caution him against drinking Gao Peng's tea, only to be stopped by a warning look from the old man.

Taking one sip of Gao Peng's tea, the old man closed his eyes and said, "Your grandfather has great taste in tea."

"I've come here today to offer you my sincerest apologies." The old man got up from his seat and was about to give Gao Peng a deep bow.

Gao Peng couldn't allow someone older than himself to do such a thing. He quickly stopped the old man and said, "If you have something to say, you can just tell my grandpa yourself. Talking to elders usually stresses out youngsters like me."

The old man laughed out loud. "All right, I'll do as you say.

"However, I would still like to extend my apologies to you. I wasn't too clear on what was going on back then. I only found out what they had done after the fact," said the old man. "Rest assured; those responsible have been locked up and stripped of their rights to a familiar."

Gao Peng simply nodded. "I understand. Thank you for telling me this."

The old man continued, "From now on, the Southern Sky Group will be exempt from all taxes."

Gao Peng widened his eyes at him. Even though the Southern Sky Group had become the behemoth that it was that day, they had never missed a single payment in taxes. The prospect of tax exemption excited Gao Peng greatly. Every year, the Southern Sky Group was obliged to pay an astronomical figure in taxes.

Gao Peng hurriedly replied, "There's really no need. We simply can't accept this."

The old man let out a sigh of relief. "Humble and wise beyond your years, I see. In that case, you can continue paying your taxes like everyone else."

Gao Peng's eyes widened even more in surprise. The old man couldn't help but laugh at Gao Peng's reaction.

"I'm just joking. I never go back on my word," said the old man.

"Truth be told, we've discovered indications that a change was coming more than ten years ago. We discovered that monsters have existed among us since ancient times. Their numbers simply dropped with the coming of the modern age. Eighteen years ago, four explorers went missing during an expedition in the Shennongjia region. One of them was a nephew of a high-ranking official in the region.

"The search-and-rescue team later discovered a sasquatch deep in the Shennongjia region." He heaved a deep breath. "A ten-foot-tall sasquatch whose hairy body couldn't be pierced by ordinary weapons."

"That was our country's first encounter with monsterkind… Later on, we found out that there were also sightings of monsters in other countries.

"The USSR also had its fair share of monster encounters. They call these abominations 'demons.' As the USSR had more land than people at the time, its government was able to lock these demons away in Siberia. They were hunted down on a massive scale for experimentation, all in the name of creating the ultimate soldier…

"We also discovered something quite fascinating. The more ancient these monsters were, the higher their levels were. Conversely, the closer they are to the modern age, the lower their levels are, much like the wolves and tigers you see nowadays," said the old man, his lips moving tirelessly as he told Gao Peng secrets that were long buried in the annals of history.

Only a few were privy to these secrets, which had long been hidden from the human consciousness behind the mists of time.

"Our country was a bit too slow to discover the existence of these monsters…" said the old man, smiling. "This had nothing to do with the fact that we simply had no time to probe further into these matters. However, we were lucky, as our ancestors left us quite an inheritance."

"Are you referring to the ancient texts that they passed down?" said Gao Peng. This was the most logical answer he could think of.

"Correct," said the old man, impressed.

"Most of these ancient texts contain references to familiars. For instance, the Taoist writer Zhang Junfang of the Song Dynasty maintained records of the paranormal. He was also the author of the book Cheng Yi Ji, which contained written accounts of all kinds of ghosts and creatures of the night that were especially active in that era.

"To the people back then, these creatures were ghosts and apparitions that preyed on the superstitious mind. However, we can now say with certainty that they were, in fact, monsters. Due to the prevailing superstitions and lack of firepower, the people back then had a hard time dealing with these entities. With word of mouth being the sole means of communication among people, these creatures gradually faded away from the human consciousness…"

"Zhang Junfang?" Gao Peng had heard of him. He was a famous fiction writer from the Song dynasty. Gao Peng had taken his book Cheng Yi Ji as nothing more than an outlandish tale.

"Besides being a writer, Zhang Junfang was also a trainer. He was able to figure out ways to allow some of his familiars to evolve. His work has proven beneficial to our research. Thanks to him, we were able to make good progress in our work," the old man revealed.

"There haven't been many people like Zhang Junfang here in the Huaxia region in the last 5,000 years. However, I should remind you that 5,000 years is an extremely long time. In ancient times, monsters of all shapes and sizes thrived even here in the Huaxia region.

"Our country has been a populous country since ancient times. With the arrival of guns and cannons and the explosive growth of our population, the monsters native to our country, which were already quite few to begin with, saw a drastic decline in numbers.

"A year after our discovery of the sasquatch in the Shennongjia region, we also caught a 60-foot-long green-striped anaconda in Loch Ness.

"In the third year, we saw an increase in monster activity around the world. There were even instances of devolution among the existing animal population. It was then that we realized something wasn't right."

Gao Peng silently listened to the old man's tale.

"The emergence of monsters in the Shennongjia region didn't happen by chance. We later discovered a passageway leading into the depths of the planet. There, we detected tremendous energy feedback," said the old man, looking Gao Peng straight in the eye.

The depths of the planet? Gao Peng frowned. "You mean the Earth's core?"

"No, not the core," said the old man, shaking his head. "We believed that it was a pocket dimension. We also detected a high concentration of spiritual energy in it. That's when we began to suspect that the end of the Age of Dharma Decline wasn't coming, as the planet's spiritual energy was being sucked away by this pocket dimension.

"The entrance to the passageway in Shennongjia will soon be opened. We've made the necessary arrangements to explore the passageway. Naturally, this expedition will be fraught with danger. I can only come to you for help, as we're currently experiencing a shortage of trainers competent enough to handle this task.

"You can keep whatever you find there to yourself. As long as you're the first to claim something as your own, no one can take it away from you. I hope that you'll at least consider taking on this task and help keep our researchers safe. To the best of your ability, of course."

Gao Peng pondered this for a moment. Finally, he said, "Okay, I'll try."

July 6th. Weather: clear.

On the outskirts of Shennongjia, ten cars were parked along a small pathway, with a crowd of familiars idling around them. The people here belonged to various influential factions in Huaxia. They had been recruited specially for the purpose of exploring the hidden passageway in Shennongjia. Some of them were even from the ancient clan.

Due to the world limiter in place, the most powerful trainers that the ancient clan could provide were its Emperor-tier trainers.

To the north stood a group of young men and women in white attire. There were seven to eight of them, and they were all carrying metal boxes under their arms. "Who the hell are we waiting for? Who does this guy think he is?"

"You mean the guy from the Southern Sky Group?" someone said hesitantly.

"Are you blind? He's already standing right there," said the speaker, slapping his comrade on the shoulder. "Even someone like him showed up on time. Makes you wonder who could be so bold as to keep us all waiting for him or her."

Everyone here knew that Gao Peng would be joining them. Those who didn't know about this were eventually informed personally by the organizers of the expedition. They also figured that it would be wise not to get in the way of this demon named Gao Peng, lest they incur his wrath.

Gao Peng had shown up early like everyone else. After all, respect was a two-way street. However, there was no point in him assuming a more humble front than he had to, as it would only give everyone else an excuse to push him around.

Suddenly, a streak of green light appeared in the distance. As it drew nearer, everyone could see that it was a green-feathered Luan bird. It gradually descended from the sky, a number of people sitting on the bird's back.

"Sorry for being late," said one of them in a sincere tone. The group of people proceeded to jump down from the green Luan bird.

The person who had apologized let out a disgruntled hmph. Why do I have to apologise to these people? Recalling what her father had said to her, Qing Xu furrowed her brows and threw a glance at Gao Peng in the crowd.

"They're from the Qing Luan Tribe," said Bei Qing Yan flatly beside Gao Peng. She always assumed the same cold, indifferent tone when speaking to others.

[Monster Name: Sub-Blood Qing Luan

[Monster Tier: Level 68 (Emperor-tier)

[Monster Grade: Legendary/Legendary

"Is the Qing Luan Tribe strong?" asked Gao Peng in a low tone.

"They're one of the seven strongest tribes," answered Bei Qing Yan.

The seven strongest tribes… The Sang Tong and Youhu Tribes, who were considerably weaker than these seven tribes, already had Overlord-tier familiars in their midst. There was a high chance that the seven tribes had Saint-tier familiars of their own.

These Saint-tier familiars had their own territories. Their combat power was probably a few times higher than that of an Overlord-tier familiar. Even though Gao Peng wasn't afraid of the Qing Luan Tribe, he knew that it wouldn't be prudent to have them as an enemy. It would be much better to have them as allies.

Everyone began walking down the pathway in front of them. They were in a valley, with steep mountain faces on both sides. Vines wound down around them. When they reached the deepest part of the valley, a curious scene suddenly unfolded before them.

The path ahead ended at what appeared to be a scene straight out of an oil painting. Leafless trees stood around them, while a yellow moon hung overhead in the sky. Weeds grew rampant beneath their feet. It was as if they had entered some part of the underworld.

"What is this place… This doesn't look like a Spatial Rift. It's too big," someone muttered, evidently shaken by the scene before them.

"Yeah, there's no way we're inside a Spatial Rift right now. Even the largest Spatial Rift we've discovered so far is only a tenth of the size of this place," said someone else.

"Could this be a pocket dimension? It does seem likely, seeing that our planet itself is part of a much larger universe," said a researcher with golden-rimmed glasses, eager to commence research on the place. Still, he knew where he stood. He was just a researcher, not a soldier. He couldn't even save his own life from whatever dangers lurked there.

The leader of the group turned around to address everyone else. "Let's move on." The leader had been dispatched from Huaxia's military. In truth, he was more of a handyman for the group than an actual leader.

They had already come this far, so there was no turning back. If all of them chose to leave at that point, the organizers and participants of this expedition would most certainly become a laughing stock.

As soon as Gao Peng entered the place, an unusual sensation came over him, as if a layer of restrictions had been lifted from him. It was a familiar sensation. He had experienced it not too long ago. Gao Peng frowned.

Bei Qing Yan had also sensed something. The Frozen Asura Knight had informed her that the last seal could be removed. However, Bei Qing Yan dismissed her familiar's suggestion. Removing the last of its seals would be an easy task, but restoring it, not so much.

"Argh!" A shrill scream came from the group.

Gao Peng turned around just in time to see a severely decomposed monster corpse clambering out of the earth. It was covered in green fur, its eyes a furious red and its fangs bared at everyone.

A foul smell exuded from its body. It looked simply terrifying. Suddenly, a bear's paw appeared out of nowhere and slapped the corpse away.

The corpse's head was slapped clean off its neck. It turned out to be all bark and no bite. Everyone knew what was happening at that point.

As if sensing the presences above them, corpses began erupting from the soil. The levels of these reanimated monster corpses weren't that high. Gao Peng noticed that the highest among them was only Commander-tier. There was no sign of any Lord-tier monsters in their midst.

This looked like the kind of place that Dark or Soul-type monsters would hang around. Gao Peng summoned Flamy to his side by snapping his fingers. Flamy was able to make short work of its enemies with its flame attacks.

Gao Peng stood beside an ancient-looking tree that was gnarled and covered in knots. When he placed a hand on the tree, a dark, cold aura immediately surged into it.

The damage that Gao Peng could have taken from the tree's aura was quickly transferred to Flamy's body. Flamy's body heat was able to dissolve the tree's dark, cold aura.

"Coo?" The Sub-Blood Qing Luan turned to look at Flamy. Flamy looked back at it.

The Bi Fang, Qing Luan, Da Peng, and Jin Wu, which was a three-legged sun crow… these were all well-known birds from ancient Chinese mythology. Being of the same species, these creatures naturally had closer relationships with each other than with other types of monsters.

"You're a Bi Fang?" Flamy's single leg made it quite easy to recognize as a Bi Fang bird.

"Why do you look so… fat?" asked the Sub-Blood Qing Luan. It almost didn't recognize it at first. It had thought Flamy was just an odd-looking penguin.

"Ah." Flamy stared back impassively at the Sub-Blood Qing Luan. Little green bird, you've just made the biggest mistake of your short bird life.

"…Can you fly?" asked the Qing Luan bird hesitantly.

"Hehe." Flamy gave it a polite smile. It was a strange sight to see a bird try to curve its beak into a smile.

"I don't like this place. Is it contaminated by something?" someone asked out loud.

One of the researchers knelt down to pick a red flower off the ground. "What a beautiful thing. I don't think I've seen anything quite like it," said Chen Xiangyuan excitedly. He was an expert on all things botanical. In order to avoid any contamination on his part, he put on a pair of gloves and began carefully digging the flower out of the ground.

All the other researchers had begun collecting specimens from their surroundings as well. This was a natural reaction to expect from the scientifically inclined, especially when they found themselves in a not yet unexplored section of the world whose secrets still laid hidden.

"Um?" Chen Xiangyuan noticed something peculiar when he swept away the topmost layer of soil around the base of the flower's stalk. Are those its root? They look a bit strange…

He then gently stroked it with a finger. Suddenly, the flower's roots shook violently. In the next second, countless spines flew out from it. They were as thick as strands of hair. However, due to their almost non-existent weight, the further they traveled, the more momentum they lost.

Chen Xiangyuan, who was standing closest to the flower, sensed that something was wrong, then felt a strange sensation on his face. When he reached up to touch his face, a sharp pain spread across it. It was as if a barrage of needles was raining down upon his skin at that moment.

Chen Xiangyuan screamed out in pain. The part of his face that he had touched had swelled up before falling off of his face entirely. Red spots had appeared on his face, which was now contorted in pain. The swollen parts of his face quickly rotted away. Chen Xiangyuan fell to the ground, covering his face and muffling his screams of pain with his hands. The skin and flesh on his face had disintegrated completely. In a mere second, all that was left was the white of his bones.

The flower's roots parted the soil beneath it, letting the researcher's bones fall through. A moment later, a new red flower sprouted from the ground…

Everyone took a few steps back from the flower, their faces pale.

Someone suggested that they should destroy the flower immediately. However, most of the researchers objected to this. "This is a fine research specimen. Also, it's located near the Spatial Rift's entrance. We could always come back to collect more samples from it. Let's just stay away from it for now."

One of them then planted a sign beside the flower, warning any unwary travelers in the future against touching it.

"I'll take a look around," said Gao Peng. He flew up into the sky on Flamy's back and began observing his surroundings from the air. He could see that the color gray reigned over every inch of the place. Everywhere he looked, the same color greeted him. Even the mountains were a dull, lifeless gray.

He also noticed something flying nearby. Its wings seemed like a pair of tattered flags flapping in the wind. I could have sworn I just saw some bone peeking out of its wings, thought Gao Peng. A shiver ran down his spine.

Naihe Underworld… Are we in hell?!

Hell was a concept that any person living in Huaxia was all too familiar with. Various expressions related to hell were used in Huaxia's vernacular, like "I'll see you in hell" or "Go burn in hell." Who would have thought that he would find himself in hell without even receiving anyone's invitation to do so?

The fact that this place was hell explained so much about what Gao Peng and the others had encountered so far.

Chapter 575: The Manor

Flamy glared at the Undead Shadowbird. With a loud boom, it exploded into smithereens in the sky.

When Gao Peng was back on the ground, he told the rest of the party what he had learned without sparing any detail. A subtle change in expression crossed everyone's faces.

Most of them were under the impression that they could at least explore other new environments beyond where they were right then. Who knew it would be the same dull gray for hundreds of miles… The air around them grew tense.

"Why don't we just conduct a few measurements on the temperature and humidity of this place?" asked one of the researchers in a small voice.

Even though his voice was barely a whisper, everyone else heard him loud and clear. Some of them nodded in agreement. However, others weren't happy about this. "We spent so much money and brought so many people here just to measure these things? What the hell do you take us for? Your babysitters?"

Most tended to talk tough when they had the bite to back up their bark. Those who were able to be there were the best of the best in the Huaxia region. There was only a handful of the common folk who had earned the right to call themselves that. None of them were about to turn back any time soon.

"You have the strongest trainers in the Huaxia region in one place. What do you have to fear?" someone said.

"Yeah, even if everything looks the same, we still owe it to ourselves to see what kind of monsters live here," said a corpulent man in a yellow robe whose hair was slicked back.

Gao Peng simply looked at them without a word. Some of these people's familiars were on the weaker end of the spectrum. Those who were actual master trainers in the group remained silent throughout the whole exchange, especially those from the ancient clan. Gao Peng noticed that some of them were giving each other knowing glances, as if they knew something about this place that they weren't telling anyone else.

Gao Peng blinked a few times at Bei Qing Yan. Do you know anything about this place?

Bei Qing Yan looked at him quizzically. Are you hungry? She then produced an unopened bar of chocolate from her bag and offered it to Gao Peng.

Gao Peng stared at it, dumbfounded. How could she be thinking about food at a time like this?

Seeing that they weren't close to making a decision, Gao Peng stepped forth and said, "How about this: we'll split into two groups. Those who wish to conduct their research here can stay here; those who want to explore the place can just do it on their own."

"Didn't we already agree that we'll be exploring this place as a group?" said the group leader, Li An, in an attempt to defuse the situation.

"Do you think it would be more efficient to operate as a group at this point?" asked Gao Peng, pointing at the rest of the group. "I'm going to be straight with you: everyone here can't wait to get away from each other as soon as possible. We all want the largest chunk of the cake for ourselves. With so many people in one place, it would just be difficult to call dibs on something."

That last part was the real clincher. The only thing that could drive most people to walk barefoot into hell was profit. Few were willing to sacrifice their time and energy to do something for free.

The strong found it repulsive to associate themselves with the weak, while the weak feared that the strong would keep everything for themselves. The power differences between the strong and the weak here were just too stark to ignore. There was no way either party would sincerely agree to cooperate with the other. Everyone wanted to believe that they were going to be the lucky ones that would stumble upon something good.

Li An was in an awkward position. Even though he already knew that there was no point in him being the leader of the group, he hadn't expected to lose his position so soon.

However, he had expected this much. He was already mentally prepared for this.

"All right then. We'll meet up here in a week. We'll wait another day for anyone who fails to show up at the agreed-upon time. In that time, all of you are free to explore your surroundings. If you see someone in danger… try to help them out," said Li An, smiling weakly.

"Sure."

"All right."

"Then let's get a move on."

"Happy hunting, everyone!"

The trainers mounted their familiars before heading out in various directions with their respective groups. Few of them chose to go in the same direction.

"Li An, you and your men will come with me."

Li An, who had already been ordered beforehand to accompany Gao Peng, nodded. "Understood." He turned to the seven researchers in white lab coats and said, "We'll be following Mr. Gao later. Try to keep up."

"Got it."

Most of the researchers seemed quite young. Only two of them looked to be around 50 years of age. The other five looked like they were still in their twenties or thirties.

Gao Peng remembered seeing vague signs of buildings in a small dense forest to the east. "Let's go in that direction," said Gao Peng while pointing east.

The others didn't object to this. Gao Peng led the way, with the research team following close behind. All around them stood trees without a single leaf on their branches. It was as if no tree was allowed to grow their own canopies in the underworld. Every flower and blade of grass they came across in their path looked alien.

The researchers exclaimed in amazement at every little thing in their path, like Sun Wukong, who had stumbled upon a garden filled with peach trees of immortality. Perhaps due to the loss of one of their companions, these people proceeded with their experiments cautiously.

The road ahead was fraught with all kinds of danger. One of the researchers had the misfortune of encountering a lantern-shaped plant that swelled up suddenly when he walked a bit too close to it. It was as big as a watermelon. Expanding tenfold, the plant fell down towards the researcher like a hat.

The "brim" of the hat was lined with sharp, fearsome teeth; no ordinary person could survive such a terrible bite.

Boom! A fireball flew out, reducing the yellow lantern-shaped monster disguised as a plant into a pile of ash.

The researcher thanked Gao Peng profusely for saving his life. In truth, Gao Peng had been aware of the monster's presence beforehand. However, he had ordered Flamy not to act without his order.

These people could take his help for granted if he had to pull them out of a tight spot every single time. Giving them near-death experiences was the best way to let them know he wouldn't be around all the time to help them out.

"Is that a building? Are there actual people living here?" Someone pointed at what appeared to be a rundown manor up ahead.

"Did someone else come here before us?"

"Sure looks that way," said Li An, frowning.

There was something familiar about the building in front of them. It looked, in all respects, like a three-story manor. There was also something strange about its appearance. It looked a bit too… organized. There were three windows on each floor, each of them arranged neatly above the others on the building's facade.

On the top floor was a balcony with wooden railings, and a triangular structure was at the top of the building. Wind howled noisily through the openings of the manor. It looked haunted, especially when surrounded by the leafless trees of the forest.

"Someone's coming out of the manor," said one of the younger researchers under his breath while pointing in the manor's direction.

Report chapter

"Where? I don't see anything?" someone else said.

"I really did see something. I swear, I'm not going blind," said Huang Mingqi.

"This place really gives me the creeps. I would probably believe you if you told me that there were a bunch of ghosts living in that manor," said his colleague, Deng Deng, with a weak laugh.

"Gao Peng, there's heavy Yin energy radiating from inside," said Flamy quietly into Gao Peng's ear.

"Yin energy?" Gao Peng frowned. The presence of Yin energy almost certainly meant that there was something corrupt lurking inside the building. The walking monster corpses from before had also oozed with Yin energy.

"Do you sense anything else that might be a threat to us?" asked Gao Peng.

"No," said Flamy, shaking its head.

"That's reassuring." Gao Peng let out a sigh of relief. You can always count on a woman's intuition in times like this… especially that of a female one-legged crane.

The researchers were still under the impression that they were inside a pocket dimension and that people had once lived there a long time ago. However, Gao Peng already knew that they were not in fact in a pocket dimension, but rather in the Naihe Underworld!

There was nothing normal about finding a small manor in a place like this. Gao Peng frowned, sensing that something was definitely off about it. Why does it look like a papier-mache model?

A hollow rustling noise sounded from the manor's walls every time a gust of wind blew past them, and the whole thing seemed to be trembling.

The 32-foot-tall manor swayed in the wind like a huge monstrosity lazily swinging its head around. Gao Peng strained his eyes at it. The building's stats appeared before him instantly.

[Monster Name: Papier-Mache Phantom Manor

[Monster Level: Level 52 (King-tier)

[Monster Grade: Excellent/Excellent

[Monster Attribute: Yin/Ghost

[Monster Ability: Ghost Husbandry Level 3, Exorcism Level 3, Yin Accumulation Level 3, Mist of Yin Corruption Level 3

[Monster Weakness: Fire

[Monster Description: A monster born from the ashes of countless papier-mache houses that were burned in honor of the dead. It is capable of absorbing Yin energy, as well as nourishing a spirit within its confines. As a result, it has become a favorite place for all manner of ghosts and apparitions to hang out. However, the Papier-Mache Phantom Manor takes control of any spirit weaker than itself, condemning it to a life of servitude.

To think that slavery exists even here among ghosts…

"Don't go in," warned Gao Peng, stopping those who were about to head towards the manor. "Don't you think it's strange to find a manor just sitting here in the middle of nowhere?"

One of the researchers smiled apologetically at him. It was thanks to Gao Peng's presence that he had even had the courage to venture into the unknown… He had heard about all the achievements that Gao Peng had accomplished in the past. Being under the protection of an almost godly presence like Gao Peng for this long, the researcher couldn't help but feel as if nothing could hurt him, as long as Gao Peng remained by their sides.

"That's what you're here for, isn't it? To keep us safe from whatever danger awaits us?"

"There's a high chance that monsters above Emperor-tier exist in this place," said Gao Peng gravely. "I may not be able to protect all of you by myself. Better to be on the safe side for now." He then turned to Flamy, ordering it to attack the manor before them.

Flamy took a deep breath, letting air flow into its stomach. In an instant, its stomach expanded like a balloon.

Sensing that danger was coming its way, the phantom manor immediately retreated from the group of people, its body shaking dangerously.

"The building moved!" Huang Mingqi shouted in surprise. He had seen all kinds of monsters and even conducted autopsies on some of them, but this was the first time he had seen a building that could move on its own.

"Can we dissect the building's body? If we do, will we find actual organs or just drywall?" said Jiang Feifan, his eyes lit up.

Speed seemed to be the phantom manor's weakness. Before it could move to safety, Flamy's attack was already upon it, spewing flames from its mouth at the building like a flamethrower.

The flames struck the phantom manor's facade. The building let out a chilling shriek as the flames invaded its interior via the windows. It began to visibly distort before them. The varnish on the walls fell off into the inferno that had surrounded the structure.

Its gabled roof had also changed drastically. Screaming faces now dotted the roof's surface, contorting it into a misshapen hat. The building's windows had also transformed into caverns that seemed to be wailing like the spirits of the damned.

The ghosts living inside the phantom manor were burned "alive" inside it. They were reduced by the inferno to piles of ash before they even had a chance to scream out in pain. After burning for five whole minutes, the phantom manor, too, was reduced to a large pile of ash. Black smoke was rising from it.

"It's all burnt to ash. I don't think there's anything left for you to dissect," said Huang Mingqi.

Flamy flew over to the pile of ash, from which it dug out a gray crystal core. It then swallowed the crystal core while everyone was looking at it, impressed.

"It's a bit spicy, like the first I ate when I was young," said Flamy. It really liked eating spicy food.

"I guess we can still experiment on its ashes when we get back." Jiang Feifan began stuffing the phantom manor's ashes into a test tube before putting it back inside the portable space of his Levitating Jellyfish.

Seeing as Gao Peng was watching Jiang Feifan intently, Professor Chen, the oldest member of the research team, as well as some of the younger researchers' instructor, explained to Gao Peng, "Little Jiang has always been this way. He likes to experiment on anything that catches his fancy."

"I see. I guess he has something in common with most accomplished researchers: an insatiable curiosity," said Gao Peng, smiling.

"Haha, I suppose so. By the way, the Levitating Jellyfish provided by the Southern Sky group is quite handy to have, especially when we're conducting fieldwork. As long as we have one with us, we never have to worry about not having enough space to store the samples that we've collected," said Professor Chen.

Suddenly, the sound of beating wings could be heard from afar. A powerful presence seemed to be drawing closer and closer. It was dark, foul and violent.

The first thing they saw in the distance was the green feathers of the Qing Luan bird. There were three people sitting on its back. When they saw Gao Peng and the others, they shouted, "Help!"

Qing Xu immediately recognized Gao Peng on the ground. "There's an Overlord-tier monster behind us. Be careful," she said, watching Gao Peng's face intently for any changes in his expression.

Gao Peng seemed untroubled by this. He simply waved her off and said, "Get behind me." He then said to Li An and the others, "You, too. Follow them."

Li An nodded, then looked at Professor Chen, as if wanting to say something to him. However, the latter waved a hand at him before running to the back as fast as he could.

Gao Peng was now staring in the direction from which the Qing Luan had come. Even though there were still no signs of its pursuer, he could see black clouds rolling up from the horizon, effectively blocking that part of the sky. He could now see the silhouette of a huge creature moving towards him amid the clouds.

The monster's features were obfuscated by the clouds, so Gao Peng could only see a general outline of it, but it was at least 60 to 100 feet tall. A pair of crimson lights pierced through the black clouds. Gao Peng could also hear the sound of something heavy being dragged across the ground.

"Electric-type attacks always seem to work best against evil creatures," said Gao Peng, before summoning Da Zi from his Familiar Space.

Once it was summoned into the open, the electricity around Da Zi's body came into contact with the air, setting off loud crackling sounds. Its electricity seemed to have a violent reaction with the Yin energy in the air.

"Da Zi, give this guy a taste of your Silver Lightning attack."

Da Zi stared imposingly at the monster nearby. The latter emitted an aura that made Da Zi feel something that it couldn't describe. Still, it obeyed Gao Peng's command and summoned Silver Lightning.

The Silver Lightning was bright silver in color and could inflict certain damage on evil forces. However, it was unclear whether the monster from the Naihe Underworld was considered evil.

The decorative designs on its wings could light up, summoning countless silver lightning bolts to fill the sky and form a huge net. Thunder was rolling, and when contact was made with the Naihe Underworld, the Silver Lightning emitted intense light.

"Hey!" The monster in the black clouds seemed to be agitated. It stepped out with its right foot and the ground shook. Dull-colored battle armor was wrapped around its thighs, and right after the wind started whistling, a black line cut through the black fog. The thick smell of blood and the berserk sounds of the wind came rushing forth!

The enormous machete met the Silver Lightning Net and instantly caused a sudden burst of light to break out.

Boom!! The Silver Lightning net trembled violently and exploded into resplendent rays of light.

Thereafter, Gao Peng heard cloth and silk being torn apart—the Silver Lightning Net was cut into half by one stroke of the machete. The edge of the blade continued to be driven into the ground, and the earth trembled.

At that moment, the mountains shook and the ground swayed. All land that the blade passed through was shattered. With a sweep of the blade, it was as if infinite reckless bulls had plowed the area within a radius of 300 feet twice.

The panting form of a gigantic and horrifying monster transcended the black fog. Its eyes seemed to be able to see through people.

Two dark and sharp horns pierced the sky. The monster's greenish-black armor was profound. In its right hand, it held on tightly to a pair of massive black knives, their grips covered with many mysterious patterns. Standing at around 100 feet tall, it was just like a hill.

Thick black mist was exhaled through its ox nose. It appeared that the black fog surrounding its body had been ejected from its nostrils.

Saint-tier. Gao Peng broke out in a cold sweat and prepared to turn on his heel and flee. There's no way I can defeat a Saint-tier monster. What can I do if not run away?

The Hell Ox Head used its right hand to slowly draw out the black machete and insert it into the sheath hanging around its back, then took two steps forward. Gao Peng could feel a strong sense of fear striking him.

This was something that Gao Peng was feeling for the first time. He had never felt anything like this in the past.

It wasn't the first time Gao Peng was encountering a Saint-tier monster either, but none of the Saint-tier monsters he had seen in the past had ever looked at him as if he were a meal—they had simply disregarded him. However, this was the first time that a Saint-tier monster was looking Gao Peng in the eye.

"A living human?" The Hell Ox Head asked in a raspy voice. The quivering voice caused the little pebbles on the ground to jump up in shock.

Gao Peng secretly sighed in relief. The fact that it hadn't struck him immediately meant that there was room for negotiation. He was most afraid of monsters that attacked right away before saying anything.

"Hello, can I ask if we accidentally disturbed you? We unintentionally found a passage and went through it." Gao Peng feigned a nervous expression.

"A passage?" The Hell Ox Head mumbled to itself and even scratched its head.

"It seems that you've unintentionally stumbled into a bit of trouble, but fortunately, the problem isn't too severe." The Hell Ox Head turned around and looked down at Gao Peng. It then added in a domineering way, "Living humans are not allowed to enter this place—since you guys have already breached it, you must remain here forever!"

Ding, dong— The sound of a bell ringing came drifting over from a distance. The crisp sound of the bell echoed between the sky and the earth.

Black fog inched closer towards them, and in the black house, the figure of a gigantic monster that was taller than the Hell Ox Head was approaching.

What made it different from the Ox Head was its eyes, which were two blue lights penetrating the fog instead of red.

"Ox Head, did you go to the wrong place?" A sharp voice could be heard coming from a distance away.

Gao Peng looked over. The black fog gradually dissipated to reveal a combative looking monster that resembled the Hell Ox Head. It was approaching at a ghostly speed.

Its face didn't take the form of a ferocious ox head. Instead, it was a pale and sinister horse. There was a lantern in Horse Face's left hand. Behind the lantern was a bronze handle that Horse Face's scaly claw was clutching tightly. The visible part of its grip was connected to the lantern like a black thread. The outer edge of the lantern was framed by a white-bone wall, with a green fire burning inside.

Horse Face was like the guard of the cemetery as it walked over slowly with a lantern in its grip. It swept its eyes over Gao Peng calmly. This made Gao Peng feel like his soul had been stolen. The large purple wings on Horse Face's sides emitted a series of lightning and light rays. Gao Peng shook his head and that uncomfortable feeling disappeared.

Is this Horse Face? It gave Gao Peng an even more dangerous feeling.

He checked Horse Face's special attributes and found out that its ability was very different from those of Ox Head. If Ox Head was considered a wild warrior, Horse Face was a sinister and horrifying mage. This was especially reflected through its special characteristics.

[Special Characteristic: Restrain the Soul of the Envoy (All Horse Faces are natural soul players.

Passive Effect 1: Boosts level 1 of the soul category.

Passive Effect 2: Horse Face can obtain the horizons of all the souls it has manipulated.)

That was Horse Face's combat ability. Ox Head and Horse Face—one dominated souls, and the other was a berserk close-combat fighter. They were the perfect combination.

Moreover, the introduction mentioned that every single Horse Face… could only take over hell like they had in the mythological stories if they had an Ox Head as a partner.

"Not yet, but I picked up the rancid smell of humans." The Hell Ox Head shook its head, its words reeking of disdain. "The human world smells really terrible. It definitely doesn't smell as nice as hell."

The Hell Horse Face hummed in response and then bent over to inspect Da Zi and Gao Peng carefully. At such a close distance, Gao Peng could see Horse Face's two enlarged nostrils as they exhaled black air.

"Chase the humans back. They merely barged in mistakenly," the Hell Horse Face said calmly.

Ox Head mumbled, "You're always so kind."

Horse Face laughed and then stomped on the ground with its right hoof. It was as if a terrible earthquake had broken out. Long cracks appeared in the ground beneath their feet—sinister green light could be seen in them. Immediately after that, a significant number of ghouls crawled out from the cracks and dispersed in all directions.

Report chapter

Chapter 578: Jiutian Shidi

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

The ghosts filled the sky and flew in all directions. Gao Peng and his entourage remained at Horse Face's feet and didn't dare to stray far.

Horse Face's strong and rough hoof was right before Gao Peng's eyes. Gray armor was wrapped around its legs, and only its black hooves were exposed. Its strong body possessed a terrifying amount of strength, as though its strong muscles could breathe!

Gao Peng saw Horse Face's back when he lifted his head. Its black mane was like hair falling behind its head, like a waterfall. It seemed to feel Gao Peng's gaze and turned its head to sweep its eyes over Gao Peng. Its blue pupils appeared to be able to see through Gao Peng and read his thoughts.

Gao Peng didn't speak. The others didn't dare speak either. Da Zi… gazed cautiously at Horse Face. It rubbed the ground lightly with its paw and then took two steps forward, subtly shielding Gao Peng.

Gao Peng's heart felt warm. This stupid guy is very dependable during crucial times.

Under the guidance of countless ghosts, all the people who had entered with Gao Peng were found. The body of a ghost could penetrate objects that lacked high energy elemental control, including stones and tree branches. Additionally, they were extremely sensitive to the living.

"Are there others here?" Horse Face asked hoarsely.

Li An stepped out and did a headcount—not a single one of them was missing.

"Let's go then." Horse Face led the group down the path alongside Ox Head. Not once did it turn back throughout the entire journey, as though it wasn't afraid that anyone would sneak off. Gao Peng and his entourage were like a group of misbehaving kids who had been caught by the adults. They merely followed behind quietly.

"What tier are these two monsters?" someone asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, but looking at them… They have to be at least Saint-tier," someone said.

"I'm afraid it's higher than that." An astute individual shook his head. He had never seen Gao Peng, who owned Saint-tier familiars, so "well-behaved."

"It's not like we don't have Saint-tier monster trainers here…"

"All right. Let's not talk about it anymore." There was a strange look on this individual's face as he jabbed the person next to him with his elbow. "They're not even looking at us. Should we find an opportunity and secretly…?"

Horse Face didn't turn around and continued walking without a care in the world. However, its huge physique allowed its voice to easily reach everybody's ears. "We warmly welcome anyone who wishes to remain in hell."

"Hahaha, welcome to hell! Stay in hell with us if you have the courage to wait here like a coward." The Hell Ox Head laughed maniacally.

"Ox Head," said the Hell Horse Face sternly.

Ox Head's laughter stopped abruptly as though it had been reminded of something. It shut its mouth and hurried on with its journey, slightly depressed.

After three hours of walking, Horse Face and Ox Head had led the group to the Spatial Rift. "Leave hell," said Ox Head with a sullen face after turning around. From Ox Head's irritable expression, it looked like there had been a disagreement.

How on earth could these people possibly dare to linger? They instantly left through the Spatial Rift. At the very last moment, Gao Peng turned around and waved at Ox Head. "I look forward to our next meeting."

The Hell Ox Head snorted. "Brat."

Horse Face calmly swept its eyes over Ox Head and waved the lantern in its hand. Instantly, a dark green domain with Horse Face in the middle started extending outwards and enveloped the Spatial Rift's tunnel as well.

Rumble— Intense friction was produced between the domain and the tunnel, like they were the gears of two giant steel monsters rubbing against each other. This caused sparks to burst forth.

It was like a door that had been accidentally opened was being closed by another force. The tunnel grew increasingly narrow until only a faint light was visible. With a low groan, the tunnel shut completely.

When the Hell Horse Face saw that things had gone back to normal, and the ground was just empty space again, it stretched its body lazily. "Idiot. I really don't know why you were arranged to be my partner," said Horse Face as it contemplated its own situation.

"Back then when the Great One chose two species out of twelve to supervise hell, the ox and horse species were chosen. However, after being partners with you for such a long time, I think that your intelligence isn't even on par with the pig species. Pigs actually possess great intelligence even though they appear stupid, but you truly are a stupid ox."

Ox Head stared at its feet and smiled but dared not rebut.

"It seems that the human just now has realized something," Horse Face pointed out.

Ox Head didn't care. "So what if he knows the truth? The Great One didn't lay down any orders saying that we couldn't reveal that…"

Horse Face nodded indifferently and turned around to leave the area…

There were no big changes in Bei Qingyan's expression, though she was standing beside Gao Peng. She had behaved like this even in the presence of Ox Head and Horse Face earlier on.

Gao Peng knew this wasn't the place to talk. He bid farewell to Li An and the rest of the researchers, who looked very pleased, as they had gained quite a lot on this trip.

After they had left the group far behind, Gao Peng vocalized the question that had been brewing deep in his heart. "Do you know what place that was?"

"I know." Bei Qingyan nodded.

"No wonder you didn't seem very surprised when you saw Ox Head and Horse Face…" Gao Peng rubbed his temples.

When Bei Qingyan saw Gao Peng in this state, she only said helplessly, "I just know their identities. They wouldn't usually initiate an attack toward us."

"Who are they?" asked Xiao Yan curiously. Ox Head and Horse Face had felt like a great threat to her.

"They're the law enforcers of hell." Bei Qingyan seemed to have recalled something. "However, we have a very close relationship with hell… Honestly speaking, I didn't know that it was the passage to hell at first."

"What other places are there besides hell?" Gao Peng was momentarily taken aback.

"Hm." Bei Qinyan knitted her brows slightly. A gust of wind ruffled her hair and brushed it behind her ears. "Actually, what you guys have seen on Earth Star is just a very small fraction of this universe. There are many other worlds hidden on the other side," said Bei Qinyan in a tranquil voice.

Gao Peng was listening to her intently.

Bei Qingyan continued to say, "If Earth Star was the only domain, how could it have possibly attracted so many ancient tribes to return?"

Gao Peng nodded. This was logical—even though Earth Star had grown bigger after the disaster, there were so many ancient tribes, so many familiars of Emperor-tier, Overlord-tier, Saint-tier, and above. To them, Earth Star was still considered too small.

"This world used to be called Jiutian Shidi." Bei Qingyan lifted her head to gaze at the sky, her eyelashes trembling slightly. "The sky was Yang, and the earth was Yin. The Huangquan Hell was the legendary tenth land. I thought that the tunnel was connected to the ninth heaven… I didn't expect it to be connected to the tenth land.

"Horse Face and Ox Head are the regulators of hell. In order to take on Ox Head's position, you have to be at least Saint-tier."

"Do the worlds that the ancient tribes live in not belong to Jiutian Shidi?" Gao Peng was puzzled.

"No, those worlds are separate from Jiutian Shidi. They're referred to as the sea of planes of existence as they are comprised of independent worlds… I'm not very clear about things there. I heard the term 'sea of planes of existence' from my father in the past and all I know is that it's huge—and so is Jiutian Shidi." Bei Qingyan shook her head.

"Why are you looking at me?" Bei Qingyan asked, as she found it strange that Gao Peng kept staring at her.

"Encyclopedia Bei, tell us everything that you know." Gao Peng raised his eyebrows, thinking he looked very charismatic when he did so.

Bei Qingyan quietly shifted her gaze, and after a long time, she said, "What else do you want to know?"

"You seem to know quite a lot about Jiutian Shidi."

"That's because my tribe lived in Jiutian Shidi." Bei Qingyan had stopped smiling. "At that time, nobody called it Earth Star. It was only known as Jiutian Shidi. I think that Earth Star only became the way it is now after it was sealed."

"Are there nine heavens and ten levels of hell in Jiutian Shidi?" Gao Peng asked.

Bei Qingyan gave Gao Peng a strange look. "No. Jiutian Shidi is just a general statement. They only gave it this term because there's one less heaven."

"So that's the case… So if there were equal amounts of both, wouldn't it be called Shitian Shidi?" Gao Peng started laughing as he said that.

"Jiutian is a vast world. You guys would describe it as an entire continent," Bei Qingyan began.

"Our Northern Ice Tribe used to reside in the frost archipelago in Jiutian. Jiutian and Shidi were independent of each other then, and if you wanted to go from Jiutian to Shidi, you had to use a special tunnel. Honestly speaking, it was my first time entering hell just now. I've only heard the seniors in my tribe talk about that place in the past." At the thought of her relatives, Bei Qingyan's expression momentarily grew gloomy. However, she pulled herself together again very quickly.

"So there are regulators in Shidi, but none of them in Jiutian?"

"There are none in Jiutian." Bei Qingyan shook her head regretfully. "However, there are some very strong monster communities in Jiutian… They're even stronger than my tribe and have lived in Jiutian since ancient times. In fact, some of them who have existed since the start of time are in a deep sleep,. They'll be woken up if the world is thrown into disorder."

As Gao Peng continued to question her, he heard some interesting stories about the Northern Ice Tribe, such as what was delicious near the frost archipelago and what kind of monster communities existed there, as well as what the tribe people usually ate…

Gao Peng had an epiphany. "I didn't expect you to be a geek."

Bei Qingyan gave Gao Peng a look. Where else could she have gone if she hadn't remained within the tribe back then?

"Don't belittle Jiutian just because there are no regulators there. Even though Jiutian is slightly smaller than Shidi, it's just a matter of relativity. Moreover, it's precisely because there are no regulators in Jiutian that things are more brutal there."

"But I'm a little curious, why did you guys leave Earth Star back then? Moreover, your entire tribe left together. Even if you had enemies, they would have been against the entire human species. I'm also human, and when the time comes, I believe that we'll all be in this together along with the ancient tribes," said Gao Peng.

This was also the aspect he was most worried about. There had to have been a reason why these ancient tribe people left back then—it was either because the environment wasn't suitable for their survival or because they couldn't survive…

It wouldn't be as bad if it was the former, but if it was the latter, Gao Peng would have to contemplate if there was a reason why humankind couldn't survive in Jiutian. If that was the case, there was the possibility that he would have to force humankind into exile in another world.

"Not everybody left. At that time, only the old and the weak in the various tribes left Jiutian Shidi. My father remained behind." Bei Qingyan paused for a moment and shook her head quietly. "All I know is that my father, along with the seniors in the tribe, took the elites and their familiars and left the Northern Ice Tribe to fight in the war."

"All right." Gao Peng knew that there wasn't anything more he could ask Bei Qingyan. "Da Zi is fast, so let's take him on our journey back so we can go back earlier and have hotpot."

Da Zi turned around, puzzled. Gao Peng, you actually want to ride on my back with another woman. Do you think that I, Da Zi, don't care about how I appear?

"I'll make you something good to eat when we get back," said Gao Peng.

"Hurry up and get on!" Da Zi rushed them.

Half an hour later, Gao Peng arrived back at the Southern Sky Group.

Bei Qingyan sighed. "Da Zi is very fast. I've never seen any familiars back in my tribe that could fly faster."

Da Zi snorted. That goes without saying. My nickname, 'Da Zi Black Fog Expert,' doesn't exist without a reason. There isn't a single shrimp in the Black Fog Sea that can match me. As long as I, Da Zi, am willing to, I am the happiest… no, my bad, I'm the fastest centipede on the surface of the sea.

Even though Gao Peng felt very comfortable hanging around his family members, he had to think of danger even in times of safety. Despite the fact that Earth Star was currently safe, their security was based solely on the premise of his strength.

Moreover, the rate at which Earth Star was shedding its restrictions was much faster than Gao Peng had imagined. Even the Overlord-tier Da Zi could appear on Earth Star now. Based on this speed, Gao Peng didn't know when it would be possible for Saint-tier familiars to show up here.

When one was running ahead of everyone, one could not relax. One could not even afford to lose and clinch the first runner-up position.

Gao Peng stayed in the Southern Sky Group for about a week, during which he often went fishing with his grandfather and drank tea while chatting with him. He complied with his grandfather's request and occasionally accompanied Bei Qingyan to go shopping as well.

"Grandfather, I'm going to leave now." Gao Peng bid farewell to his grandfather reluctantly.

"Stop behaving like a young child. Earth Star is too small. Go to the places where you should, and stop worrying about an old bloke like me," said his grandfather.

"Hm." Gao Peng nodded aggressively before he turned around and leaped onto Da Zi's back. Da Zi half-lifted his wings, and in the following second, the terrifying speed resulted in the formation of purple rainbow as Da Zi disappeared into the sky.

In the Black Fog World, there was an isolated island floating on the sea.

There were no fish or shrimps within a hundred miles of that island. The sea surrounding the island was much darker than usual, and there were unceasing turbid waves.

There was a palace erected on a hill in the center of the island. A long white ladder that led to the main door of the palace extended from the top of the hill to the bottom. Each rung was made of thick white bones.

The sea surrounding the island suddenly swirled downwards to create a whirlpool. A gigantic fish head emerged from the vortex. The scales on its head were as smooth as a mirror, and it had extremely eye-catching eyes and mouth.

The two small green beans on the head of the big fish looked exceptionally funny. Its mouth stretched from the left to the right, and when its top and bottom lips parted, it looked as though its entire head could split apart. Inside its huge mouth were dozens of rows of jagged teeth; it didn't seem like a mouth as much as an oversized meat grinder.

"Dumby, I finally found a trace of my treasure." Fatty Big Sea laughed wildly. "Damn it, I finally found it after looking for such a long time. Just wait until I get my treasure back. I'll take you guys to a feast! Hahaha!"

A slender figure emerged from the palace. From the moment it appeared, an extreme magical power filled the space, as if the dead air in the empty sky was cheering for it. "Then go ahead and snatch your treasure back," said Dumby calmly. There were bone spikes on the back of its head like a crown. Its dark gold skeleton was engulfed in black mist, and a death ring surrounded its body.

"Oh…" Fatty Big Sea answered awkwardly. Of course, I'd snatch it back if I could. The problem is that I can't.

*Shi is ten in Mandarin, while jiu is nine. Gao Peng is making a joke about nine heavens (Jiutian) and ten heavens (Shitian).

"Why don't you come along and help me snatch my baby back?" Fatty Big Sea tried to persuade Dumby.

Dumby was expressionless. Of course, it was difficult for Dumby to reveal any expression. "Let's talk about it again when Master is back."

"But there's no telling when Master will be back—what if that monster gets alarmed and runs away? I don't know when the next time I'll find it will be." Fatty Big Sea was fretting endlessly. As Fatty Big Sea thought about this, its head swelled.

"Master is back." Dumby looked into the distance.

Fatty Big Sea shook its head. How had it not sensed Gao Peng's breathing? After a few seconds, a trace of disbelief surfaced in Fatty Big Sea's eyes. It had detected Gao Peng's breathing approaching from a distance. Dumby actually has such sharp awareness?!

Ten minutes later, Fatty Big Sea saw Da Zi flying over. It could sense the familiar breathing on Da Zi's back. Its eyes, which were the size of mungs beans, blinked.

It wasn't afraid of other familiars. Fatty Big Sea only felt slightly intimidated when he was facing Gao Peng. After all, this man was in control of his lifeblood. Moreover, its subsequent grade advancement depended on Gao Peng.

"Hey, you guys are waiting for me." When Gao Peng saw both of his familiars—one floating in the water and the other standing before the palace—he thought that they were waiting for him.

Fatty Big Sea smiled awkwardly while Dumby answered honestly, "Master, Fatty Big Sea said that it found the treasure that it had left in the depths of the sea."

Treasure? Gao Peng's eyes lit up. This Fatty Big Sea is really something. It actually made such a sneaky move. It didn't say anything when I was around. It only waited until I left before it slyly tried to retrieve its treasure behind my back.

"Big Sea, I'm rather disappointed. You forgot about your owner when you found your treasure." Gao Peng sighed.

Fatty Big Sea laughed awkwardly. "I only just thought about this. Moreover, I haven't even obtained the treasure yet."

As it said that, Fatty Big Sea leaped out of the water. Its body shrunk midair until it eventually transformed into a big-headed fish that was the size of an elbow and landed beside Gao Peng.

After flinging off the water droplets that were clinging to its body, Fatty Big Sea said, "Master, I'm the only person who can use that treasure…" It seemed to have caught the look of disbelief in Gao Peng's eyes, as Fatty Big Sea hurriedly leaped up and yelled, "Really! I'm the only person who can maximize the power of this treasure."

"This is the first time I'm hearing anything like this. At first, I was indifferent to who obtained this treasure, but your attitude is making me want to give it a try instead," said Gao Peng with a laugh.

Fatty Big Sea tried to widen its eyes. It managed to force its tiny mung bean-sized eyes open so much that they were the size of soybeans now. There were tears in those black eyes.

Gao Peng had long grown immune to Fatty Big Sea acting cutely. Its acting skills weren't as good as Da Zi's when the latter would try to obtain food by cheating. With just one glance, Gao Peng could tell that this fat-headed fish had never had to fret about anything or go through hardships in its life.

"All right, let's talk later if there's anything else. I'm hungry after flying and want something to eat," said Gao Peng.

Da Zi scratched its head. "I think I'm the one who flew the whole time…"

Gao Peng waved his hand and allowed Dumby to lead him towards the palace.

From time to time, wild monsters could be seen roaming around the island. However, when these monsters saw Gao Peng, Dumby, and the rest, their footsteps would halt, and traces of timidity and fear would surface in their eyes.

To them, Gao Peng was the crowned king here. This island was also a foundation base that Gao Peng had accumulated over three years in the Black Fog World. All the monsters on this island had either been captured or evolved by Gao Peng.

The periphery of this island was an endless sea. The skeletal remains of many ghouls that had been revived by Dumby lurked in the sea—leaving the island secretly was an impossible feat. If anyone attempted to leave the island secretly, the next thing awaiting them was a fate of being torn to pieces by the ghouls lurking below.

After dinner, Gao Peng wiped his mouth. "What treasure were you talking about before?"

Fatty Big Sea was annoyed. He hadn't expected for the devil, Gao Peng, to eventually find out about this. It felt that Gao Peng had a very discerning gaze. The latter only had to take one glimpse to know what was going on. Fatty Big Sea had always thought that Gao Peng was a treasure detector wrapped in human skin.

"It's a weapon," Fatty Big Sea told him honestly.

"A weapon? There are weapons for monsters as well?" Gao Peng asked, astonished.

"Of course, there are weapons." Desolion, who was sprawled by his side, interrupted him. "However, we're naturally strong, and most weapons aren't as good as our bodies, so very few monsters use them."

Very few… isn't equivalent to none. Gao Peng was reminded of Ox Head and Horse Face. Generally, human-like monsters were more suited for the use of weapons. Fatty Big Sea, what kind of weapon do you use when you're a big-headed fish that doesn't even have a claw—a helmet? Such a big head should be equipped with an enormous helmet.

Gao Peng laughed involuntarily. "All right, then tell me where that helmet is."

Fatty Big Sea muttered his rebuttal. "It's not a helmet. Do you really think I would use such low-level treasure…"

Despite that, Gao Peng still had some interest in the treasure that Fatty Big Sea was talking about. Beyond anything else, Fatty Big Sea's taste was very unique, and its ability to appreciate treasure had far surpassed that of Moneymaker.

Fatty Big Sea really didn't pay attention to ordinary treasure. Moreover, this was the first time Gao Peng had seen Fatty Big Sea look so serious.

"You don't have the courage to attack even though you're already at Level 79. Instead, you have to convince Dumby to do it… Is your weapon in the hands of a Saint-tier monster?" asked Gao Peng.

Fatty Big Sea blinked and casually said, "It's not a Saint-tier monster… It's a Quasi God."

Gao Peng spat out the tea leaves he had just swallowed. "Hey!" He knocked Fatty Big Sea's smooth forehead with the back of his hand. "Even if you want to die, don't drag us along. I would ask you to forget about it even if it was just a Saint-tier monster that we are up against, but a Quasi God—do you know anything about Quasi Gods?"

Fatty Big Sea's face remained stern. "What if I knew what that Quasi God's weakness was?"

"This won't work even if it has a weakness. A camel that starved to death is still bigger than a horse. Moreover, even if you start off as the aggressor, death is imminent. If we target that Quasi God's weakness, we'll still be fighting until our last breath." Gao Peng didn't know what the weakness was yet, but something like a weakness could only be made use of when there wasn't a huge gap in ability. It was just like how many people had known the weakness of Achilles, the war hero, was his heel… But did they still try to attack him?

Fatty Big Sea mulled over it and said, "Of course I know how strong a Quasi God is, but it's not like I'm completely weak either."

"Stop trying to make your case." Goldie slammed its hand on the table, causing it to shatter into pieces with a thud.

Fatty Big Sea narrowed its eyes. "That weapon belonged to me in the past, and I left something in it—in a crucial moment, I can make it attack in reverse."

"You're a fat-headed fish. You should just use a hammer." Goldie was full of contempt.

It was rare for Fatty Big Sea not to argue with Goldie. It merely said calmly, "It's a divine artifact."

"A divine artifact?" Goldie was surprised. "Fatty Big Sea from the countryside is actually this rich?!" In the twinkling of an eye, Goldie laughed and rushed forward to embrace Fatty Big Sea in its arms.

Its right hand kept on rubbing Fatty Big Sea's head, which was as big as its own. Goldie remembered that human beings would rub a familiar's head to express their fondness for them. After rubbing for a while, Goldie finally realized the reason why Flamy loved to rub its head. When Fatty Big Sea felt comfortable, it would let out a growl from its throat.

"Fatty… I 've been very good to you, right…?" Goldie said seriously.

Fatty Big Sea glanced at Goldie, then withdrew its gaze. "Not too badly. There was a duck like you who was my doorkeeper in the past."

The smile froze on Goldie's face when it was enjoying itself. It also stopped what it was doing.

"Don't stop, keep on rubbing." Fatty Big Sea knitted its hairless brows.

Goldie was annoyed. It had given Fatty Big Sea an inch, and the creature had taken a mile. In any case, I still belong to Gao Peng. However, it thought about asking a favor from Fatty Big Sea, but it suppressed its feelings and focused on rubbing it.

Flamy, who was standing to the side, looked at these two baldies suspiciously. It felt like they were making some sort of deal behind it's back.

The identity of Fathead Fish is complicated, Desolated Frost Lion thought.

Divine artifacts were the weapons used by the gods. Each of the divine artifacts was one of a kind, and there was nothing like them in the world. It wasn't about finding the raw materials for the divine artifacts; it was because only a god could forge them.

Divine artifacts were also known as authentic artifacts. Even the gods could only produce one artifact that contained its own principle.

The Desolate Frost Lion only knew a little about it, as it had heard it through word of mouth on the street. Fathead Fish said that a divine artifact was its weapon in the past?

The Desolate Frost Lion was alert. Could it be that Fathead Fish was a god? However, it had never seen such a puny god before… Fatty Big Sea seemed to be glancing at it, so the Desolate Frost Lion drew back its gaze.

"Fatty Big Sea, you're actually rich. It seems like I should call you Rich Fatty." Gao Peng sighed. Before that, Gao Peng had been suspicious about the identity of Fatty Big Sea.

The abilities of Fatty Big Sea were odd yet strong, in addition to the fact that its name was questionable. Gao Peng suspected that it wouldn't be easy to guess. However, he had still underestimated it, as it actually had a relation to a divine artifact.

"However, with our current strength… Even if we add it together with the preconditions that you mentioned before, we cannot defeat a Quasi God. If what you said about the divine artifact being yours is really true," Gao Peng said meaningfully.

He had met a Quasi God, and it was a Level 92 Ancient Blood Dragon, but that wasn't considered high among the Quasi Gods. However, the terrifying atmosphere had made him feel like he was in an abyss of despair.

"Saint-tiers combine aura and ability into one to condense the territory," Gao Peng explained. He asked, "What's the difference between the Quasi God and Saint tiers?"

Fatty Big Sea thought for some time and said, "Let me tell you this way. The territory of Saint-tiers is just a prototype. After a familiar steps up to the Quasi God, the range and strength of its territory will be greatly improved. However, this isn't the biggest difference between the Quasi God and Saint tiers. The biggest difference is the word 'god' in their title.

"The Quasi God is also known as a demigod because the strength in their body has already achieved the peak of familiars. It has reached the threshold of a god," Fatty Big Sea said.

"Then it starts the process of deification?" said Gao Peng thoughtfully.

"Clever," said Fatty Big Sea. "The process of deification cannot be accomplished in one stroke. The process of becoming a god is a very long journey. Some parts of the organs in your body will be affected and start to go through the process of deification. Then, the process will expand to the entire body."

"What's the difference between a god and a Quasi God? When the entire body has gone through the process of deification, will it be considered a god?"

"Who told you that?" Fatty Big Sea was astonished. "Of course, the god's entire body will go through the deification process, but the ability of a god is not just a matter of deification."

"You guys are still far from being gods right now. Knowing too much doesn't benefit you." Fatty Big Sea shook its head seriously.

Gao Peng was dumbfounded.

"How about this; we'll make the decision after we check out the familiar who stole my precious baby," Fatty Big Sea knew that sometimes its master would do whatever he wanted by following his instincts.

"I've seen the Quasi God familiar, and its attack is 't that aggressive. To be honest, Dumby is Mythical-grade… I've met another Mythical-grade familiar in the past. There's a huge gap between the Mythical and Legendary grades." Fatty Big Sea babbled on and on. To be honest, it was a little surprised, as it had thought that it wouldn't be able to see it weapon again after it was lost. It hadn't expected to see it again.

Gao Peng turned his head to look at Dumby. The air around Dumby had become calmer. The gold skeleton was surrounded with the light of God and projected natural dignity and power.

As expected, Dumby had now reached Level 81 and successfully advanced to the Saint tier. It was also Gao Peng's 'King of Levels' among the other familiars.

"The Mythical-grade familiar is extremely aggressive. A god friend of mine was once beaten by a peak-grade Quasi God." Fatty Big Sea sighed.

"Dumby will be that brilliant in the future," Flamy said in amazement. Does that mean I can sidle away?

Goldie was deeply spellbound when it heard about it. Mythical-grade! This is something that a man must own!

Da Zi was very focused. It was also a Mythical-grade, so it couldn't help but involve itself in the story that Fatty Big Sea told. The two tentacles on its head swung crazily as it became excited when it thought about the possibilities.

Gao Peng laughed. "That god friend of yours must have been lame. A god being beaten by another god. Your friend must have been joking."

Fatty Big Sea shook its head. "This friend of mine put in lots of effort. In fact, it was very hardworking, as well. It's just that sometimes, it lacks luck."

Gao Peng smiled without speaking a word. Under the guidance of Fatty Big Sea, Gao Peng put the other familiars into the Familiar Space, then dove deep into the water.

Fatty Big Sea blew out a water bubble and wrapped Gao Peng inside it. The water bubble was full of air, separating the sea from the outside.

Fatty Big Sea's brain usually looked big and bloated. However, Fatty Big Sea's movements in the sea were very agile.

After swimming for a long while, Fatty Big Sea slowed down. It said to Gao Peng through the Blood Contract, "It's somewhere around here. Be careful. Just act like we're passing by."

Gao Peng looked around at the bottom of the sea. The water pressure was horrifying, but the water bubble wasn't affected and protected him.

Poking the water bubble gently, it rolled forward. It was extremely peculiar. The smile on Gao Peng's face was no longer there. He knitted his brows and looked around. A strange yet dangerous feeling filled his senses.

Chapter 582: Marine Lurker

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

Dong— Ripples that were visible to the naked eye went past speedily. A series of dense water bubbles emerged from the bottom of the sea.

The moment Fatty Big Sea heard the sound, its wagging tail became tense, its eyes stared in front, and it remained in the same position, as though it was pretending to be a statue. When the water bubbles disappeared, Fatty Big Sea wagged its tail as it continued to lead Gao Peng forward.

Gao Peng's vision was highly affected due to the absence of light and high saturation of water elements under the sea. After moving a few hundred yards forward, Gao Peng spotted something other than the sand, long and thick black hydrillas.

The black hydrillas grew from the sand and floated in the sea. A giant hand stretched out from a deep area of darkness to grab the black hydrillas and tugged them like it was pulling a carrot from the soil. The black hydrillas and hand disappeared all at once. All that was left was the sound of chewing carrots.

"Chomp, chomp…"

Fatty Big Sea seemed to notice something as its face turned pale. "It's right in front of us. Shush, we have to secretly walk in from the side." Nonetheless, it still comforted Gao Peng and said, "Don't worry, this monster doesn't consume meat. It's vegetarian…"

Before it could finish its sentence, a huge hand appeared from the darkness and snatched Fatty Big Sea. Fatty Big Sea quietly swore, "F*ck!"

The ocean stirred, and the turbulent sand rolled up and formed a rotating undercurrent to collide with the giant hand. The giant hand stiffened and staggered backward momentarily, then slowed down.

Fatty Big Sea stirred up a wave and escaped alongside Gao Peng while the giant hand was distracted.

A raging groaning sound was transmitted from behind them, as the food in its bowl had disappeared, to its surprise.

Buzz— A blue barrier appeared and expanded beneath their feet quickly. Soon enough, another barrier appeared even quicker than before. An energy ray was shining in bluish-white light inside the field barrier. The dark sea was lit up in an instant with the help of the light that shone on the area.

A peculiar looking monster with four arms crouched at the center on the seabed. The blue barrier's light was coming from it. All of its arms were longer than its body, and it had thick, long claws that were decorated with scales. The closer the arm was to its body, the thinner it was, and the further the arm was from its body, the thicker it was. Its palm seemed ten times bigger than its arm.

[Monster Name: Four-Armed Jia Lou Sea King Beast

[Monster Level: Level 84 (Saint-tier)

[Monster Grade: Excellent/Perfect

Only a Saint-tier? Gao Peng was surprised, because he thought that Fatty Big Sea had mistaken it as a Saint-tier monster instead of a Quasi God.

If it was a Quasi God monster, it would be best to run as far as they could, but if it was only a Saint-tier monster…

"That's not it." Fatty Big Sea was in doubt, then thought of something horrifying, "They're hunting us We must escape quickly."

Gao Peng soon learned the reason. A dark green creature that was thin as a rake, in fact, thinner than the Four-Armed Jia Lou Sea King Beast's finger, silently crept behind the Four-Armed Jia Lou Sea King Beast's butt. The dark green creature seemed to notice Gao Peng's stare and lifted its head, smiling as it snuck a peek at Gao Peng.

Then it lightly touched the Four-Armed Jia Lou Sea King Beast's butt. At that instant, a brown barrier expanded from the thin monster's body, it quickly overshadowed the blue barrier, and finally, the blue barrier was overpowered.

Gao Peng witnessed how the finger had easily pierced through the Four-Armed Jia Lou Sea King Beast's butt with his very own eyes. It had been like a hot red iron stick poking into tofu.

The Four-Armed Jia Lou Sea King Beast turned into a pool of slime and became a huge mess after a light poke.

The area around the hole that was poked began to decay, exposing the inner white bones. The Four-Armed Jia Lou Sea King Beast howled in pain as it quickly stirred waves and scrambled away.

Gao Peng saw the dark green creature retrieve a basket made out of kelp and shells from its back. As it gently shook the basket, its volume expanded on the seabed, and it increased in volume by a hundred times immediately. It managed to trap the Four-Armed Jia Lou Sea King Beast inside.

"Go."

Even without the reminder from Gao Peng, Fatty Big Sea dropped a scale from its body onto the ground, which exploded. The explosion of the scale transformed into countless murky granular crystals. The ocean became murky, so their footprints couldn't be easily detected.

The thin dark green creature gazed in the direction of Gao Peng for two seconds before lowering its head as it bent to pick up the basket and place it across its waist.

"Are you sure your divine artifact is in the hands of that creature?" Gao Peng asked calmly.

"Yes," Fatty Big Sea nodded its head helplessly. "I could sense the divine artifact from it, so it must have it. It must be thinking of refining the divine artifact, but it's been unable to do it now because it isn't strong enough yet."

Fatty Big Sea shouted all of a sudden. "I know why it captured the Saint-tier monster, this cunning creature. It planned to offer it as a sacrifice to other monsters to contaminate the sacredness of the divine artifact. Then it could forcefully refine my divine artifact!

"Dang it, dang it!" Fatty Big Sea cursed repeatedly.

Gao Peng furrowed his eyebrows, and after a moment of silence, he said in a puzzled tone, "Based on what you've just said… does it mean that it happened unwillingly?"

Fatty Big Sea was stunned for a second because the statement sounded so weird.

Gao Peng shook his head and said, "That's enough! No matter how much you scold it, it won't be harmed in any way. You can't change anything at this point, so save your breath."

Fatty Big Sea sighed. "But I still feel dissatisfied. It feels as if I lost something that belonged to me, and then one day, I saw the item that was taken from me being carried by someone in broad daylight on the street."

"I truly understand how you feel, but rather than just complaining about it here, why not consume two more monster core crystals to make yourself stronger?" Gao Peng advised it.

Gao Peng shuddered with fear due to the sudden thought of the monster's attribute. "Fortunately it isn't carnivorous, or else we might not have been able to escape so easily."

"Have you ever heard of the White Starlight Corner Elephant?" Gao Peng asked Fatty Big Sea for information.

"What's the White Starlight Corner Elephant?" Fatty Big Sea indicated that it had never heard of this monster before.

"I heard that its tusk can cure the water poison of the Marine Lurker," Gao Peng said.

"Eh?" Fatty Big Sea was surprised. "It can cure the water poison of the Marine Lurker? Marine Lurkers mainly rely on their water poison to assassinate people. If there were ways to cure its water poison, then 70 percent of its strength would be useless."

"Yeah, but I've only heard of the name. I have no idea at all about its appearance or where it exists," Gao Peng confessed.

"It's all right. Let me think for a while." Fatty Big Sea frowned. It was extremely worried that its divine artifact would be forcefully refined by the Marine Lurker.

Fatty Big Sea returned to the island for two days. In these two days, it had been searching for clues of the White Starlight Corner Elephant mentioned by Gao Peng from his memories.

"It's fine if you can't find anything. There are other ways too besides attacking them." Gao Peng touched the beard on his chin while contemplating.

"What other ways?" Fatty Big Sea paid full attention to him.

"Killing them with a borrowed sword." Gao Peng made a motion of waving a knife.

These monsters were quite intelligent, although they had a limited number of intelligent lifeforms, which caused them to be less skillful with strategies. Not everyone was like humans who were able to collaborate with thousands and millions of wise beings to produce strategies.

"Who has a sword?" Fatty Big Sea was confused. Its face was so round that it could spit bubbles.

Gao Peng patted Fatty Big Sea and chuckled. "Now I believe that your divine artifact isn't a helmet."

"You're more familiar with the ocean than I am. I want you to tell me everything you know about Quasi God monsters." Gao Peng squinted his eyes as he looked at the ocean beneath his feet.

It wasn't that Gao Peng was not good with strategies; it was just that he preferred to go straight into things instead of coming up with a plan. If every issue could be settled with punches, no one would spend time thinking of plans.

"I'm not familiar with the monsters on land, but I know that there are three Quasi God monsters in the sea."

"That many?" Gao Peng hadn't expected there to be so many Quasi God monsters.

Fatty Big Sea was speechless. "The area of the sea occupies almost a third of the Black Fog World. Furthermore, the sea is vertical, so the number of monsters in the sea won't be any less than the monsters on land. The Quasi God monsters I mentioned have been sleeping for thousands of years, so basically no one knows about their existence."

Gao Peng agreed with Fatty Big Sea's statement, as Gao Peng hadn't toured the whole the Black Fog World… since the Black Fog World wasn't small.

There were only four Quasi God monsters including the population of monsters that occupied half the sea and the Marine Lurker. However, there were eight Quasi God monsters in the Black Fog World if it was calculated according to the ratio of the number of monsters. But obviously, no one could accurately guess the number of Quasi God monsters in the Black Fog World.

"The other three Quasi God monsters are Wu Zhiqi, the Windstorm Water Magic Spider, and the Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant."

"Is Wu Zhiqi a monkey?" Gao Peng was astonished when he heard a familiar name. This was a monster from the legends of Huaxia. It looked like an ape with a flat nose, protruding forehead, a white head with a green body, and piercing eyes. Its head and neck could be up to hundreds of feet long. At the same time, it was the original model of Sun Wukong in the legends.

"I can't believe that you know about it." Fatty Big Sea was amazed. "Wu Zhiqi is very low-profile. Other than the incident it caused many years ago, it hasn't been causing any trouble, hence very few people know about it."

"What about the other two monsters?" Gao Peng asked.

"The Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant is even more low-profile than Wu Zhiqi. It spends most of its time sleeping." A homebody. This was the label Gao Peng set for the Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant.

"The Windstorm Water Magic Spider…" Fatty Big Sea sounded conflicted when he mentioned this name. "I'm not too familiar with the other two monsters, but I'm certain that the Windstorm Water Magic Spider is very strong. It controls both the wind and water attributes and is one of the greatest Quasi God monsters."

Fatty Big Sea seemed to know about the Windstorm Water Magic Spider very well.

"Sounds like you know a lot about it," Gao Peng teased Fatty Big Sea.

Fatty Big Sea looked stiff, smacking its big mouth twice. Gao Peng decided to stop his questioning, as Fatty Big Sea didn't seem like talking about it.

"If the Windstorm Water Magic Spider was to fight with the Marine Lurker, who do you think would win?" Gao Peng asked another acute question.

"The Windstorm Water Magic Spider," Fatty Big Sea answered without hesitation.

"Do you think it's doable… if I look for ways to lure the Windstorm Water Magic Spider and the Marine Lurker to kill each other, then take the opportunity when they're both severely injured?"

Fatty Big Sea went blank for a moment, then it swiftly shook its head. "No, absolutely not!"

Seeing how curious Gao Peng was on this subject, Fatty Big Sea explained unwillingly, "Because it's the descendant of a Quasi God monster. The descendants of Quasi God monsters have special powers. For example, the spatial ability of the Marine Lurker won't be effective on the Windstorm Water Magic Spider."

"That's even better! We'll let it kill the Marine Lurker, then wait until both of them are severely injured and ambush them to take their divine artifacts. If there's really no chance, then we can lure Wu Zhiqi to continue the battle."

Fatty Big Sea remained silent for some time before it said slowly, "It is my unfilial son."

"Cough, cough, cough!!" Gao Peng choked on his saliva. He turned his head over his shoulder in disbelief to glance at Fatty Big Sea's massive round head.

After making some gestures with his hands, Gao Peng exclaimed like a pain in the *ss, "A fish and a spider? You're so impressive!"

Gao Peng slapped his forehand right after he finished his sentence. "Nope, it was probably Windstorm Water Magic Spider's mother who had the powerful genes, or was it because of your bad genes… " Gao Peng laughed as he finished his sentence.

Fatty Big Sea was triggered. Gao Peng shouldn't have been commenting on his appearance. Gao Peng was essentially frying Fatty Big Sea in a pan of oil, and he had even flipped it!

"Back to the topic; if you have such a powerful son, why are you still like this?" Gao Peng questioned curiously.

"Our relationship isn't on good terms." Fatty Big Sea shook his head. It had the look of a father who felt helpless about its rebellious son.

"And also, because we're blood-related, the refinery of the divine artifact will be much easier for him." Fatty Big Sea looked serious. "Hence, it's an absolute no for it to get the divine artifact, or else it won't need much time to refine it. By that time, it'll be even more difficult for us to get back the artifact."

This was the first time Gao Peng had seen Fatty Big Sea so serious when it talked. "All right." Gao Peng stopped questioning. Although he felt like the story of Fatty Big Sea, its rebellious son, and its wife would be an interesting story, if Fatty Big Sea didn't want to talk about it, then Gao Peng didn't feel the need to bring up his shortcomings.

"If that's so, then we can only find Wu Zhiqi." Gao Peng squinted his eyes into two lines, lifting the corners of his lips.

"Hey… Master," After leaving the sea, Fatty Big Sea hesitated for a while and told Gao Peng, "Please don't tell the other familiars about what happened just now."

"Don't worry." Gao Peng shook his hand and said, "I won't reveal your little secret."

Gao Peng glanced at Fatty Big Sea and grinned. "However, I really can't imagine that you already have such an old son. I guess that's why people always say don't judge a 'fish' by its appearance."

Fatty Big Sea smacked its lips and replied, "Just an unfilial son, it's best not to mention it. Back then, I saw Wu Zhiqi on Sealed Poisonous Worm Island. I'm wondering if it's still there after all these years. Besides, I'll be more confident about the success of this plan if you look for the Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant, because normally, it won't move to new places during its sleep."

In the following days, Gao Peng dispatched his familiars and various monsters that had been eroded by Fatty Big Sea's erosion ability to search for traces of Wu Zhiqi near Sealed Poisonous Worm Island.

However, even after they searched high and low for Wu Zhiqi on the island, including the part that was hidden under the sea, they still couldn't find any traces of it. Gao Peng felt a little disappointed, but it was just as expected. After all, in life, not everything goes according to plan…

"In the end, we still have to look for the Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant that I considered a last resort in the beginning." Gao Peng shook his head as he teased himself. This… was indeed ironic.

The view from the seabed wasn't poor at all compared to the land. There was a spectacular mountain range on land, while there was a majestic seamount at the bottom of the sea, and the rising and falling of the ridge appeared like the backbone of the ocean.

An inconspicuous spur of the mountain extended beyond the mountain range. Many corals and water plants grew on this spur. The view was magnificent, and some fish lived on the mountain range.

A black sea urchin with spikes silently drifted down from the top. This sea urchin had a diameter of 30 feet, and this was only the diameter of the round ball in the middle. If the diameter of its spikes was added, its diameter wouldn't be less than 100 feet. Therefore, it was considered a big guy in the ocean.

A ferocious electric eel glanced at the sea urchin and swam away after circling around the sea urchin one time. Either it had been scared away by those spikes, or it simply felt that the sea urchin wasn't tasty enough for it.

The sea urchin was unrestrained, like a torpedo falling into the mountain… Boom!!

A surge of water swept in all directions. Countless animals and plants were blown up into ashes, and the mountain even formed a huge pothole after the explosion. Loud echoes reverberated around the mountain range.

After ten minutes, Gao Peng broke the silence, "Was there no reaction?"

"Looks like there wasn't." Fatty Big Sea shook his head with hesitation. "How can it sleep as soundly as a log?"

"Probably the power wasn't enough. Let's add two more bombs," Gao Peng said.

"We're only left with two more anyway," Fatty Big Sea said, feeling slightly annoyed. Even though its erosion ability could infect and mutate a monster, it was uncontrollable. For example, even with the same species of monsters and the same process of mutation twice, it might not produce the same type of monsters.

This type of sea urchin had been named the Bomb Black Sea Urchin by Fatty Big Sea. It would cause self-destruction after being killed or activated, and its exploding sound was very loud, as it was one of the characteristics of the Bomb Black Sea Urchin.

After a while, two loud exploding sounds were heard from the seabed beneath them. Gao Peng and Fatty Big Sea gazed at each other and smiled.

"Hmm."

Huge waves rose on the surface of the sea, rolling up about 30 feet high before they abruptly sank back down. The sea level collapsed and became hollow before it directly formed a huge concave-shaped puddle with a diameter of miles on the sea's surface.

"What terrifying power!" Gao Peng was far away, but his pupils still contracted. A pitch-black mountain tip quickly pierced through the surface of the sea, and Gao Peng saw a vague figure of a giant carrying a mountain on its shoulder through Second Baby's thousand miles eyes. It was standing upright and walking in the sea.

With each breath, a large amount of seawater was sucked into the giant's stomach, causing a pit to form on the surface of the sea. The giant's stomach seemed to have an infinite hole, as all the seawater that was drunk vanished in its stomach.

"So this is the origin of its name, the Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant," Gao Peng lamented.

[Monster Weakness: Space-type

[Monster Description: The Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant, which was born between heaven and earth, has infinite great strength naturally. They are almost impossible to defeat in the sea. They are lazy, love to sleep, and hate being disturbed during their sleep.

For a sleepyhead who loved to sleep… there was nothing more irritating than disturbing its rest, especially when its one and only hobby was sleeping.

"Has everything been arranged properly? We can't afford to make any mistakes," Gao Peng said seriously.

"Rest assured! Do you even have to worry when I plan things? The smell of the Marine Lurker is continuously wafting toward its old nest."

From time to time, monsters jumped out to attack the Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant. These monsters were contaminated with the smell of mud from the region near the Marine Lurker.

Since Gao Peng didn't understand the habits of the Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant, he didn't use the temptation of the divine artifact to lure it over.

After all, for this kind of homebody… it was hard to imagine the level of temptation this homebody could resist in order to stay at home.

How many years have I slept? The Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant couldn't remember how long it had slept. However, this was the most comfortable sleep it had ever had since birth.

Since it had been born, it has fallen asleep eight times, and it became stronger every time it awakened. To it, there was no concept of time. It only realized it might have slept for a long time from the changes in the topography of the land as time passed by.

There was a limited number of Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giants, so it was very difficult for a Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant to meet one of the opposite sex.

This time in its dream, it had imagined a very beautiful Deep Sea Covered Mountain Female Giant. It'd had muscles stronger than a mountain and a robust body, like a storm. Besides that, its roaring sound was rather loud, and the way it ran was powerful and energetic.

Perhaps it was the prettiest female giant in the world. But everything was ruined as an exploding sound blasted through its ears out of the blue. This directly woke it up from the dream.

As it awakened, there was only a cold and freezing seamount in front of him, along with a remaining cold truth…

Chapter 585: A Swindler

There were some smells remaining after the explosion. The giant continued to chase after its target based on smell throughout the journey. Some ant-like monsters occasionally tried to attack it along the way.

It didn't even need to use its strength. It only needed to sneak a glance at these monsters who had tried to sneak an attack on it. This would be enough to crush them into powder due to the strong air pressure.

It smelled a familiar scent on these monsters. If it was a more brilliant Quasi God, it would have noticed that something was wrong.

However, as the giant had been in a deep sleep for a long time, its temperament was closer to a newborn baby. All of its emotions were expressed through its body movements. When I'm happy, I'll share what I like. When I'm angry, I'll beat you to death!

Its tyrannical breath engulfed the surroundings and shattered the cloud layers. All the monsters they encountered along the way started to escape after they sensed the giant's breath. A turbulent and fierce current dispersed out in all directions with the giant at the center. The space that was within 3,000 feet of it became extremely riotous, tearing apart anything that attempted to get close to it.

Some of the fish familiars didn't get to escape, hence they were drawn into the current. They were torn into pieces in the current within a split second, turning into a bloody mist in the ocean.

"So this is a Quasi God! It's horrendous," Gao Peng exclaimed. "They form such a horrific phenomenon just from the power that they don't mean to release."

Fatty Big Sea wasn't feeling good about this as it murmured, "Back in those days when I was at my peak, the phenomenon that I could create was much greater than that."

"But now you're just Fatty Big Sea. When I met you, you were hiding in a dark reef cave on an island," said Gao Peng as he mercilessly revealed his past.

Fatty Big Sea was pissed as it said, "I'm just like a secret dragon in its abyss. I was merely concealing myself earlier."

"All right, you're the best! Stop babbling. We aren't far away from the Marine Lurker," Gao Peng interrupted Fatty Big Sea.

Fatty Big Sea replied, "Oh!"

Even if the Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant was ignorant, it could also sense that something was off. These monsters were provoking it insistently, as though they were there to give up their lives.

It was slightly vexed. Why did I come all the way here? The Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant was contemplating this question.

It was at this moment while it was thinking that a crab-like monster aggressively rushed across the turbulent waves towards it with a sharp pike, like a fearless warrior holding the weapon of justice. The creature poked the giant's shoulder.

"Kill it!"

Bang— The pike broke, the Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant blew up, and it was as if a hurricane appeared out of nowhere, throwing the monster far away.

How… disgusting. It was like someone had been walking on the street and moths and other bugs were constantly flying at this person's body, although they could be easily pinched to death with one hand. The Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant was extremely agitated. It lifted a hill with one hand and walked forward overbearingly, stirring up the wind and clouds.

There was a sunken cave at the bottom of the sea. The Marine Lurker took the purse that hung on its waist and shook it lightly. A splendid light burst out from the purse, and a heavily injured Deep Sea Giant Bone Bug emerged in the cave.

It lifted the Deep Sea Giant Bone Bug, carefully took something off of its body and pinched it to death. It melted and turned into black liquid that dripped down, then a ray of divine blue-black light exuded from the black liquid. It seemed like the black liquid wasn't doing anything to the divine light, but the Marine Lurker was still excited.

The cave suddenly trembled, and turbulent seawater started to pour in. The Marine Lurker squinted its eyes as it alertly lifted its head to look through a thick rock hill in the direction of the surface of the sea.

A Quasi God!? The Marine Lurker was suddenly on alert. It could feel that a Quasi God was extremely close to it.

No mountain could occupy two tigers, let alone a top predator like the Marine Lurker. Moreover, it had something that couldn't be revealed to the world in its hands.

The Marine Lurker's first instinct was that the Quasi God knew that it had a divine artifact and wanted to take it away. After a while, the threatening feeling slowly moved further away, and it was relieved.

"Sigh." The Marine Lurker wasn't prepared to lose the divine artifact.

Suddenly a loud noise could be heard from the top of its head.

The Marine Lurker froze as the Quasi God returned at a faster speed. The Marine Lurker cursed to itself, Don't ever let me find out who it is.

Rumble!

A dreadful power travelled down from the tip of its head. The seawater was supposed to function well as a water controller, but at this moment, the Marine Lurker still felt a horrifying vibration coming aggressively from the sky.

Countless sea monsters immediately fainted due to the vibration of this power. Such power! This was a Quasi Qod that had reached a high level.

As the whites of its eyes flashed, the element of water transformed into layers of a protective screen under the Marine Lurker's control and blocked the clashing waves. As soon as it successfully blocked them, in the next moment, it saw a big mountain crashing down.

The Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant threw down the mountain that it had lifted and launched a punch. The protective screen created by the element of water made contact with the mountain. Even though the protective screen could defend substantial objects to an extent, it was too hard for it to go up against a mountain.

The protective screen slowly broke into pieces, the shattering sound like fragmented glasses. A punch came from behind like a pestle into a mortar and hit the ground like a meteor, smashing violently into the back of the mountain.

Thud! The peak of the mountain trembled strongly and collapsed at a shocking rate.

The mountain landed on the seabed, and turbid smoke filled the ocean. The region that the Marine Lurker had originally been in was enveloped by the mountain.

Like a flash in the void, the Marine Lurker appeared far away, looking seriously at the Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant that was floating above.

"I've never heard about this…" the Marine Lurker muttered to itself, as it could sense that something wasn't quite right.

It had never heard of this giant. It had heard about the two other Quasi Gods in the ocean, so it had purposely distanced itself from the areas they were active in to avoid any conflicts with them at this time. It would never have thought that instead of the two that it had been avoiding, another one whose existence it hadn't known of would appear instead.

The Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant sniffled, its eyes filled with anger. I've got you, swindler! The scent of soil that came along with a rotten and acidic smell was exactly the same as the smell of your body.

Quasi God level monsters infected their surroundings when their bodies emitted energy naturally because of their extremely powerful temperaments. They could create certain changes to particular areas if they stayed in them for a sufficiently long period.

These changes were also caused by the divinization of their internal organs.

Similarly, if a Fire-type god stayed in a mountain for a long time and didn't intentionally control or minimize its internal power, the mountain would turn into a lava-filled volcano after thousands of years.

Report chapter

This was truly a disaster falling from the sky, an unprovoked mess.

The Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant had originally wanted to smack those tiny bugs and hadn't expected to run into a big fish, but it didn't hesitate. Who cared if it was the same level as a Quasi God? It wasn't afraid. This was the confidence that Mother Sea had given it.

Take my punch!

The tumbling waves transformed into a water dragon that wrapped around the Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant's arm, the water element attacking its body. However, it didn't even make a splash.

The Ocean Lurker, which was sparkling, released an intertwined layer of green and silver. It suddenly realized something very annoying; its water element attack that had landed on the Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant had no effect. This guy's water element resistance was unexpectedly high.

If it wanted to throw out a shell to imprison the giant, it was impossible—the giant was too big. The Ocean Lurker didn't have a large enough shell to confine the giant. It also needed to avoid the giant's attacks, which it fully succeeded with its dexterity and mastery.

Avoidance was crucial. It wasn't sure of its resistance ability, and the consequences could be severe.

"Waterfall curse," the Ocean Lurker murmured. To take hits without giving them back wasn't in its nature. A spark avoided the fist of the Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant. The Ocean Lurker, who belonged in the sea, spread out its right hand. In its palm was a condensed ball of dark green water.

These water balls were small, each of them the size of a table tennis ball. There were plenty of water balls, approximately hundreds of thousands. What seemed like countless table tennis balls were connected, forming a dark green waterfall. Flashing green light gushing downwards with a roar.

Boom, boom, boom— The waterfall felt like a giant dragon slamming into the Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant. Although it was aware of the dangers lurking in the waterfall, it didn't retreat. To it, there was no such thing as backing down.

The moment the water balls touched the body of Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant, it melted and created corroded into holes of the same size. Although the injury was negligible, the sheer number of them was significant.

The poisonous water balls went through its abdomen and in an instant, created an extremely exaggerated wound. It didn't have high poison resistance! The Ocean Lurker's eyes brightened. It had a glimpse of a chance at winning.

"Even if it is a Quasi God, it can't resist this poison." The Ocean Lurker had a certain amount of confidence in its poison. After all, it was its best skill. It'd had this ability since it was promoted to Saint-tier and risen up to Quasi God level with it. Therefore, the strength of this poison had skyrocketed.

The Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant touched its injury and took a huge whale-like gulp of seawater. After inhaling a huge amount of seawater, the place its injury swirled… and healed quickly at a visible speed.

The Ocean Lurker couldn't believe its eyes. Healing simply by drinking water? Was there an inexhaustible blood bank for it in the sea?

Worried that it wouldn't be a match for the Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant, the Ocean Lurker thought of running away. As though it saw through the Ocean Lurker's plans, the Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant lifted its head and roared. As it roared, a thick dark light burst out of its body. The dark light spread rapidly throughout the sea, growing to three times the size of the Ocean Lurker's area.

It clenched its right fist, and a strong force dragged everything within the area to the top of its fist.

Bam! The body of the Ocean Lurker was uncontrollably dragged towards the giant. It felt it necessary to use the power of space to strategically exercise a flickering position shift, but when it exerted its power of space, it was met with strong resistance. It was like walking through the mud where one's legs would be hindered by the soft mud.

The actual distance that it flickered through was less than a fifth of the expected distance. Before it could try again, a fist reached over. Boom!

"What a fierce fight." Gao Peng took a bite of melon and watched the show play out with interest. "Why didn't we see him use your divine artifact? It can't be that your divine artifact has been made useless, right?"

Fatty Big Sea shook its head quickly. "Impossible. My divine artifact can't be destroyed, at least not by a Quasi God."

The battle between the Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant and the Ocean Lurker was like a battle between a crazed, powerful, and unmatched soldier and a flickering poison magician.

It turned out that the crazed soldier had a higher level than that of this poison magician. The poison magician might have been able to sprinkle its water, but as long as the crazed soldier accidentally hit the poison magician, the magician would lose its life.

"Huh?" Fatty Big Sea suddenly straightened its head. Its huge head shifted forward and looked in a direction.

Gao Peng followed and turned to look. He saw a mesh of thick dark blue light gushing upwards, and his sixth sense warned him of acute danger.

A large area of the sea suddenly collapsed, and the water level was reduced by a hundred yards. Gao Peng saw a waterfall flowing down a cliff-like wall of water. After two seconds of pausing, the water wall collapsed, and a huge wave slammed back and forth. The large waves were hundreds of feet high. There was chaos.

"How is it? Isn't the divine artifact of Master Fatty super cool?" Fatty Big Sea couldn't help but chime in.

"Not too bad." Gao Peng's eyes shone.

Suddenly there was a mad roar in the middle of the sea. Gao Peng saw the Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant rush to escape. The left side of its body had disappeared completely, its left arm and left chest also missing a large chunk. The edges of it had a blue glow, like gelatine, and the healing power that Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant was so proud had lost effect at this moment.

After waiting for a while, Gao Peng and Fatty Big Sea didn't see the Ocean Lurker catch up. "Go." Gao Peng was pleased. Although the Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant had suffered a heavy injury, there was no pursuit. This proved that the other guy had been injured more than the giant.

Dumby was summoned. Aside from Dumby, Gao Peng didn't summon other familiars. Even if Da Zi's electric ability could be restrained, the level difference between Da Zi and the Ocean Lurker could be too great. Gao Peng was also afraid that this creature on its deathbed would be ready to fight Da Zi to the death.

Arriving at the location where the fight had taken place, the sea was still undulating from the elements, but the Ocean Lurker was nowhere to be seen. Dumby switched to its Yin Soul Dominator state, and the Soul Power changed into a radar searching the surroundings.

"Hey," Dumby called their attention. The mud not far from Dumby's foot suddenly rose, and a blurred figure appeared in the distance.

It had been hiding under the mud of the battle site. If it hadn't been for Dumby's Soul Power, it would have been impossible to find it.

"Trying to get away?" Fatty Big Sea stared intently at the Ocean Lurker, who was quickly disappearing into the horizon.

Dong!

Fatty Big Sea's heart was pumping wildly, the scales on the back clanging, and a blue sheen in its eyes.

The Ocean Lurker suddenly noticed that the divine artifact in its arms had awoken. Its pupils shrank suddenly; this wasn't good!

Ka-cha. Something radiating a dark blue light had suddenly risen. It was impossible to see its specific shape, but like a greedy black hole, it ate the Ocean Lurker in one gulp.

Chewing sounds were heard from the black hole. Ka-cha, ka-cha.

Just like that, a Quasi God was swallowed up by a black hole. He didn't even have time to lament. If this Quasi God had been brought to the Great Altar Cutter, it would have brought Gao Peng many benefits.

After eating the Ocean Lurker, the black hole converged to reveal the artifact. The surface washed with a weak glow of divine light. Gao Peng vaguely saw the artifact, then gave Fatty Big Sea a strange look.

"What are you looking at me for? Quickly, chase it!" Fatty Big Sea shouted.

"You piece of sh*t! Don't you run!" Fatty Big Sea shouted as it tried to catch up. "Stop! You stop right there! You ran away then, and you still want to get away now?!"

Gao Peng hesitated slightly. He couldn't forget how the artifact had just swallowed a Quasi God. What if it turned around and tried to take a bite of his own scrawny arms and legs?

As though he could sense Gao Peng's concern, Fatty Big Sea said, "Don't worry; it can't bite you."

"What are you thinking? I was just planning how to catch it," Gao Peng said confidently. "I have a good idea." Gao Peng snapped his fingers and summoned Da Zi. Da Zi's was much faster than Fatty Big Sea, even though they were in the sea.

After being summoned, Da Zi found itself surrounded by water and babbled endlessly, causing it to choke horribly. In its state of shock, it started releasing electricity. Zap! Electric currents were shooting all over, the purple light illuminating the bottom of the sea.

Fatty Big Sea gave a swish of its tail and squeezed out a bubble from its butt, then captured Di Zi with it. There was no seawater in the bubble, and after taking in the fresh air, Da Zi went back to normal. Though there was a strange smell…

"Gao Peng, don't be so silly next time. I can't swim…" said Da Zi.

Gao Peng apologetically patted Da Zi's head. "All right, I'm sorry. There won't be a next time, but this situation is special. Let's chase after that thing in front of us first."

Da Zi snorted. "Sit tight."

After Gao Peng and Fatty Big Sea were on its back, Da Zi tightened its two small claws. The thirty-six wings on its back turned into a blurred high-speed motor engine. Whoosh—

Da Zi was like a ray of light at the bottom of the sea. Fortunately, the quality of Fatty Big Sea's bubble was guaranteed. Even though Da Zi's speed was incredibly fast, the bubble was still intact.

When it was less than 300 feet away from the artifact, Gao Peng hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice to ask Fatty Big Sea, "You're sure that it won't turn around and bite us?"

"Don't worry." Fatty Big Sea knew how much Gao Peng valued the centipede under his butt. It stared viciously at the escaping divine artifact in front of them.

Taking a deep breath, Fatty Big Sea sucked some air into his belly, and its belly instantly bulged like a pufferfish. With each breath, Fatty Big Sea also grew in size. Like the taut string of a bow, Fatty Big Sea tightened its muscles.

"Roar!" Fatty Big Sea bellowed, its tail smacked soundly on Da Zi's back, and Fatty Big Sea became a mass of shadows, opened its huge mouth, and swallowed the divine artifact.

Thump. Fatty Big Sea landed at the bottom of the sea. After swallowing the divine artifact, it was motionless.

Da Zi lowered its voice and whispered into Gao Peng's ear, "Gao Peng, Fatty Big Sea can't be dead, right?"

"Not dead. It probably fainted." Gao Peng could tell that it was alive through the Blood Contract. After a while, Fatty Big Sea looked up and smiled at Gao Peng. Its teeth seemed to have a layer of gold, the glittering teeth blinding.

"These are your divine dentures." Gao Peng squinted at Fatty Big Sea's teeth.

Gao Peng had seen something that looked like a set of teeth within the divine glow just now. It looked like a pair of dentures, but in the divine glow, the dentures were exaggerated in size. Almost three-quarters of them were visible, and the average monster didn't have such a big mouth.

But Fatty Big Sea's mouth was indeed huge, so it was a perfect match for this pair of dentures.

"Hahaha, yes! This ran away a few years back, and now I found it." Fatty Big Sea opened its mouth widely as it spoke, showing off the divine dentures.

[Item Name: Sea Emperor's Devouring Teeth (Artifact)

[Item Rules: Devouring 2%

Under rules, Gao Peng noticed the two percent progress, but he didn't know what it was about.

"A pair of huge golden teeth!" Da Zi said with a serious face. "These huge golden teeth are so uncouth."

Fatty Big Sea grew anxious. What was it calling uncouth?! This was a divine artifact! Divine artifact! You're a stupid centipede that may not get to see a divine artifact in your entire life!

"No doubt, it's a real artifact, but it's too ugly. Why is it the shape of dentures?" Gao Peng was speechless. He had initially thought it would be a sword, spear, gun, or knife of some sort, or perhaps a mirror or watch. Even if it was the shape of a bead, it would be more acceptable.

Who would have thought that it was a pair of dentures? And who else but Fatty Big Sea would actually want to use this artifact?

"I don't have any hands. My most powerful weapon is my mouth, so obviously, I needed to make a complete set of teeth." Fatty Big Sea was adamant. "What would I do if I made an axe, grip the handle with my teeth and chop others up?"

"You say you made this artifact? Will you be able to make other artifacts?" Gao Peng's eyes brightened.

Fatty Big Sea shook its head, "Don't even think about it. Every god can build only one authentic artifact. The attribute of the divine artifact is also best fitted to the god that makes it. If you want more artifacts, you have to go to other gods and snatch them."

"Er…" Gao Peng felt that it would be a very difficult task to steal from other gods.

"But there are still some opportunities; some gods have fallen, but their artifacts remain in the world, so these are excess artifacts."

Reading more into it, hadn't it been said that fog was formed in the Black Fog World because the gods had fallen? Now that Fatty Big Sea was no longer the same, maybe he had a few dead friends…

"Thank you anyway," Fatty Big Sea suddenly said to Gao Peng, waving its fin magnanimously at him. "Let's change our contract then. If you fail to fulfill my grade advancement request, you won't be punished. We split peacefully, and you can come to me, Master Fatty, when you have difficulties." Subconsciously, Fatty Big Sea proclaimed itself Master Fatty.

Gao Peng gave it a half-smile. "Okay. Thanks, Master Fatty."

"Hahaha, Little Peng, this is a trivial matter, trivial." Fatty Big Sea flushed with excitement, its face round and its big golden teeth sparkling.

Gao Peng gave Dumby a look.

Dumby understood. Just when the Fatty Big Sea turned around, Dumby knocked the back of its head, and Fatty Big Sea fainted with a thump. Dumby then took the dentures out of its mouth.

It was uncertain what method Fatty Big Sea had employed, but the dentures… Ah, the Sea Emperor's Devouring Teeth were in a complete lull. There was no divine glow, and they looked like any ordinary gold-plated dentures.

"Gao Peng, why did we knock Fatty Big Sea out?" Da Zi didn't understand why Gao Peng had suddenly wanted Dumby to knock Fatty Big Sea unconscious.

But it was worth noting Dumby's improvement; it also realized that Da Zi was acting on Gao Peng's orders.

"Because Big Sea is a little inflated, it needed a knock," Gao Peng said gently.

"Inflated? Does it taste better when it's inflated?" Da Zi's eye sparked.

"…" Gao Peng didn't know how to explain this. "It's so thick-headed that it may not suit your taste. It could hurt your teeth."

"Let's not eat Fatty Big Sea then. It's usually very honest." Da Zi had thought long and hard before saying this. After all, it took real resolve for a food lover to decide not to enjoy a deliciously fat fish head.

"All right," Gao Peng generously agreed.

"Hey, hey, Gao Peng, you're really cool today!"

Gao Peng carefully toyed with the Sea Emperor's Devouring Teeth, which looked like regular gold dentures. If one couldn't see its attributes, one wouldn't find any abnormalities.

This devouring ability should have been the ability to eat a Quasi God, but Gao Peng was unsure what the two percent of devouring meant. Was it a two percent advance after eating a Quasi God, or the degree of mastery of the ability? This information would require Fatty Big Sea to wake up and share its knowledge.

After all, it was a divine artifact, and there was a certain degree of danger, so Gao Peng didn't want to test it casually. It would be troublesome if it was accidentally activated.

Back on the island, the dull dentures quietly emitted a faint glow. They quietly looked around, and when they noticed the Dumby, they shook distinctively. The Sea Emperor's Devouring Teeth focused their attention on Dumby.

The dentures were handed over to the group of familiars for a while, then handed over to Dumby. This scene was rather strange, like a group of naughty teenagers playing with their granddad's dentures…

The dentures went with the games and didn't resist playing with them. After playing with them for a while, it became boring, and finally, the familiars handed them over to Dumby.

After returning to the palace, Dumby placed the dentures by its feet. Dumby had the strongest abilities, therefore, it was the safest place.

Dumby chucked the dentures at its feet, leaving its golden knife lying on the stone chair. It took a cigarette that it had retrieved from the stockpile and started puffing away. On this lonely and repetitive day, only the cloud of smoke could comfort its lonely heart.

The dentures that were chucked at its feet secretly observed this for a while, then carefully used their two front teeth to nuzzle Dumby's toes. Dumby felt an itch and lifted its toe; the dentures flew away and slammed on the ground.

The Sea Emperor's Devouring Teeth climbed up and looked at Dumby's shiny bones with great interest, enviably rubbed itself on the stone floor, then gently scraped Dumby with its canine teeth.

"What's this?" Dumby stepped on the Sea Emperor's Devouring Teeth. Such a pain.

Even though it was being stepped on, the Sea Emperor's Devouring Teeth tried its best to nuzzle Dumby's feet. Dumby bent over and lifted the Sea Emperor's Devouring Teeth up. The teeth that were previously restless quieted down.

It was half an hour later that Fatty Big Sea woke up. Once it woke up, Fatty Big Sea habitually smacked its lips and was horrified to find that the divine artifact in its mouth was missing.

"My treasure is gone!" Fatty Big Sea's cry of horror rang through the room. It walked all around the island and finally found the Sea Emperor's Devouring Teeth in Dumby's room.

"I finally found you! I thought I lost you." Fatty Big Sea was almost in tears.

The Sea Emperor's Devouring Teeth ignored Fatty Big Sea, more interested in spinning around Dumby. From time to time, it used its teeth to scrape at Dumby's bones.

"How can you be like that?" Fatty Big Sea was shocked upon seeing this scene, almost thinking that this was a different divine artifact.

When it had been with Fatty Big Sea, it had always tried to escape, but after meeting Dumby, it was acting like a pet dog.

"You're awake. You suddenly fainted just now, and no matter how much we tried to call out to you, you wouldn't wake up. We don't even know what happened," Dumby said to Fatty Big Sea.

"Oh, is that so…" Fatty Big Sea said, confused. It thought it had been knocked out.

"Yeah, it might be since you were too tired and suddenly found your divine dentures. The rollercoaster of emotion was hard to control," Dumby said.

Dumby had always been very honest, so Fatty Big Sea didn't have too many doubts. "Why is my divine artifact here with you?" it said with some misgivings.

"Your divine artifact ran out after you fainted. I was afraid that it would run away, so I helped you keep watch over it." After saying this, it threw the dentures that were nuzzling it back to Fatty Big Sea.

Having regained the divine artifact, Fatty Big Sea was temporarily satisfied. Watching Gao Peng walk in, Fatty Big Sea grinned. "Hi, Master!"

"You're awake." Gao Peng smiled and patted Fatty Big Sea's large head.

"I wasn't able to ask you just now because you fainted. Since this is the first time I'm seeing a divine artifact, how do you use it?"

Huh? Fatty Big Sea stared at Gao Peng with increased vigilance. Is he eyeing my divine artifact?

"Rest assured, if I wanted the divine artifact, I could have taken it just now. Moreover, do I, Gao Peng, look like a person that steals from his own familiars?" Gao Peng cheerfully said.

"Yeah, yeah…" Fatty Big Sea relaxed and lowered its guard. "That's true."

"This is the Sea Emperor's Devouring Teeth. When I forged them, I had to hunt down a Quasi God at its peak, then use its fresh complete carcass and a series of materials." Fatty Big Sea was filled with pride.

"You can hunt and kill a Quasi God at its peak?" Gao Peng did a double-take.

"Oh." Dumby also took a side-glance.

Fatty Big Sea was confused and shocked. What is this tone? You son of a b*tch! I'm a god, or I used to be! Is there a problem with me hunting a Quasi God?!

Fatty Big Sea was so angry that its lungs were about to explode. Its lungs made a muffled sound. "Do you have any misunderstanding about me? I am a god." Fatty Big Sea gnashed its teeth.

"You were," Gao Peng corrected regrettably. "Sorry, but what you just described deviates slightly from my impression of you…" Gao Peng stretched out his hands and held them slightly wider than he would for a hug.

"I'm not saying more." Fatty Big Sea swung its butt and lay on the floor like a slob, looking at the ceiling.

Gao Peng stopped laughing and patted Fatty Big Sea's fins. "Let's just say that I'm still very curious about your past great achievements."

Fatty Big Sea swung his fishtail in indignation.

Chapter 589: Fatty Big Sea's Story

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

"There's nothing much to say about my past. Anyway, I was just passing time and accidentally became a god." Fatty Big Sea and Gao Peng were seated side by side on the roof of the island's palace.

"It's possible to accidentally become a god," Gao Peng said. "But why did you get such a big head after you became a god? Was it to help with the frequent rain?"

Fatty Big Sea didn't understand the joke and smiled. "Actually, my head wasn't this big in the past.

"My memory was very poor. Don't people always say that a fish's memory is only seven seconds? Although this is exaggerated, it's quite close. Because the fish's brain is relatively small, a poor memory is normal. I was very stupid at that time. Compared to the rest of my own kind, I was still considered dumb. My memory was worse," Fatty Big Sea said.

"There are so many things that I can't remember, like who my father is. I also don't know who my mother is.

"In the past, I only knew how to eat small shrimps in the river mud and go find seaweed and duckweed to eat. Those were happy days," said Fatty Big Sea as it gestured.

"And after that?" questioned Gao Peng.

"Later, I grew up slightly. Maybe because I was handsome at that time, I never worried about food," Fatty Big Sea said with a sigh.

"All the female fishes in the river loved to be around me. I didn't need to catch any prey. They brought food to my nest every day to feed me." Fatty Big Fish became emotional. "So I ate until I was chubby and fair because I didn't have to hunt. I stayed in my nest every day, eating and sleeping.

"Until one day, a poisonous zombie jellyfish passed by my fish hole. I thought it was someone bringing me food, and I suck my head out. I was stung. Even though I didn't die, it was a disaster. My face was festering, and my body was also paralyzed by the toxins."

Fatty Big Sea's tiny eyes blinked. It appeared to have thought of something. "Since that day, all the fish that had given me food in the past never came by again, but it was expected… After all, who would want to see a fat fish with a rotting body?

"I was hungry for seven days, and my stomach had shrunk to a third of its size. I thought I was going to starve to death. It was then that she came into the cave. I recognized her. She was the little fish that had lived beside me. I used to give her a little food when I had too much because I pitied her.

"She was tiny and the weakest of her batch. She didn't have enough to eat herself, but during the time when I couldn't move, she basically gave me most of the food she caught every day."

Fatty Big Sea's voice softened when it spoke of her. "She was only half my size, and the food she caught every day wasn't enough for both of us."

"And after that?" Gao Peng asked.

"One day, she stopped coming. By then, it had been a long while, so the poison in my body had reduced significantly. After three days of being hungry in the cave, my poison was gone. I swam out of the cave to look for her, but couldn't find her after looking for a long time.

"Later, a fish told me that during that period, she went to the most dangerous intersection of the sea to collect food daily. Although the food was abundant, the danger was also greater. On the day that she didn't return, the fish had seen her head in that direction."

Fatty Big Sea's eyes became two slits. "Did you know that I was originally a river fish? The sea was an abyss for me, and I never thought that one day I would actually go to the sea."

"That's pretty touching. Did you find her, then?" Gao Peng smiled and touched Fatty Big Sea's round head.

Fatty Big Sea shook its head. "At least until I found out that I couldn't remember her appearance. I never hated my poor memory so much. Later, I thought, if my brain was bigger, if it was only bigger, maybe I could recall her appearance," Fatty Big Fish said faintly.

Although he knew it is a tragic story, Gao Peng still had the urge to laugh.

"Actually, a larger brain would be good," Fatty Big Sea mocked itself. "A bigger brain and a bigger mouth. That makes me biting someone more painful for them."

"That is true." Gao Peng nodded, thought about it, then retracted the hand that was on the fish's head.

"Did you know that my motivation to become a god was because the oldest fish in our river told me at that time that a god was omnipotent?" Fatty Big Fish laughed. "Damn omnipotent. I couldn't even save myself, much less save others," Fatty Big Sea said bitterly.

"A god with life attributes can't save the dead?" Gao Peng was a bit surprised. He had heard that a god who had mastered the ability of life could revive the dead.

"There must be a corpse, and it can't have been dead for too long." Fatty Big Sea shook its head and said, "You know, the most ridiculous concept in this world is fairness. Some monsters have stood at their peak at the point of birth. They only need to lift their toes and gently lift their feet—then they become gods.

"The vast majority of monsters have to work very, very, very hard and risk their lives! It takes billions of trillions of life-and-death battles and a streak of rare luck to become a god. Even so, the abilities of life, healing, and sacredness have nothing to do with lowly monsters like us.

"These abilities are only comprehensible to those who are talented or qualified… Because only they don't have to worry about survival, they have the resources to explore these abilities. A low-life like me… Had I relied on the life ability, would I have become what I am today? Did I use the life ability to compete with other monsters for treasure? Did I use it to kill?!" Fatty Big Sea grew very emotional at this point…

Gao Peng thought about it, but he still resisted, saying, "That happened yesterday."

"You didn't become the second generation of a god, but at least you've become the kind of creature you hate the most," Gao Peng said.

Fatty Big Fish nodded and was somewhat content. "Yeah, I became the one I used to hate most."

"Hey, Fatty Big Fish, tell me how you ended up with Windstorm Water Magic Spider's mother." Gao Peng poked Fatty Big Sea's head.

"Ah?" The usually fearless Fatty Big Sea began to play dumb.

"Ah, what are you saying? I suddenly can't hear you." Fatty Big Sea declared loudly.

"Don't be so stingy. You've shared the story of your first love; what's there not to share about your wife?" Gao Peng said with a smile.

"I'm deaf, I'm deaf, you can't hear or see me." Fatty Big Sea jumped from the roof and whipped its tail, leaping towards the beach.

The next day, Gao Peng called all his familiars together for a meeting.

"Fatty Big Sea, I asked you previously if you had any friends who had accidentally died young. Have you thought of any?"

Fatty Big Sea smiled. "You want a divine artifact. I remember a place where an 'old friend' might have stored divine artifacts, but it's hard to say if they can be retrieved."

"But just to put it out there—if you can't get the divine artifacts in the end, don't blame me," Fatty Big Sea reminded him. To be honest, if it wasn't because it made its own divine artifact, it would have stood practically no chance of getting one.

"You should know the origin of the name of the Black Fog World." Fatty Big Sea suddenly grew serious.

"I know that there's a god that died in that world. From then on, there was an eternal fog all year-round." Gao Peng suddenly looked at Fatty Big Sea. "Big Sea… you're both dead, but that god has so much clout."

Fatty Big Sea shook its head. "I'm different from it. I haven't completely fallen. I managed to survive, but it's completely fallen from grace, so there's still a difference."

"The god of the Black Fog World is called the God of Fog, and some people call it the Black Fog Dominator. Back then, it was the first to provoke. It started a war and was the first one to get killed." Fatty Big Sea laughed heartlessly.

"And it's the kind of death that's definite. When it died, the divine artifact also went missing. It wasn't that no one ever looked for it, but unfortunately, it couldn't be found. However, generally, the foggier the place, the easier it would be to hide that divine artifact."

Gao Peng nodded and said after a moment of silence, "Big Sea, tell me honestly, what is the lethality of your divine artifact if you utilize it fully?"

After hesitating, Fatty Big Sea said, "There's definitely a limit. First of all, the use of a divine artifact requires the ability to rule it. Only a god has this ability. Therefore, if you don't have the ability to rule, you'll need to tap into my blood if you want to use a divine artifact.

"Secondly, because you don't have the inherent ability to rule, the lethality will be weakened. Many factors led to the devouring of the Ocean Lurker. It used up too much energy and was injured during its battle with the Deep Sea Covered Mountain Giant. The forced use of the divine artifact made its injury worse, and it had no defense artifacts, which was why there was an opportunity to swallow it."

Upon seeing other beasts look at it, Fatty Big Sea shook its head repeatedly. "For battling, you guys can just continue as usual. Don't think of using my divine artifact. Unless there's no other choice, I won't act. Every time I act, it injures me for 100 days.

"The place with the thickest black fog is naturally the west side of the Black Fog World, which is filled with black fog year-round. Many monsters that have entered have never come out. It's a mysterious area," it continued.

"Oh right, do you know who built the labyrinth in the southern part of the Black Fog World?" Gao Peng asked.

"Labyrinth… that guy…" Fatty Big Sea muttered. "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"

"You don't know?" Gao Peng truly began to frown.

"There are plenty of labyrinths in the southern part of the Black Fog World. These labyrinths don't look artificially made, but it's impossible to have so many natural labyrinths," Gao Peng said.

"Wait, you mentioned that there were many labyrinths in the southern region?" Fatty Big Sea was shocked. "It shouldn't be…" Fatty Big Sea was amazed and appeared visibly excited.

"Tell me about those labyrinths," Fatty Big Sea asked seriously.

"There are different types. The most in number were the stone labyrinths. In addition to these stone labyrinths, there are some 'premium' labyrinths. These premium ones are sparse, but it's easier to find substances that are good for the evolution of monsters there." Gao Peng shared with Fatty Big Sea what he had seen and heard in the labyrinths along his journey. Flamy occasionally added more information.

After listening to this, Fatty Big Sea had an unreadable expression. "This maze reminds me of an existence."

"Whose?"

"Fat Golem Lord," Fatty Big Sea slowly shared. "But in my memory, it didn't die. It was one of the lucky ones that survived the war." After a pause, Fatty Big Sea continued, "At least, it was alive before I fell."

"Fat Golem Lord," Gao Peng repeated. The name created a strong image.

"Well, that's its name. Aside from the name, its god title is the God of the Labyrinth. It's my enemy," Fatty Big Sea spat. "My fall had something to do with that son of a b*tch. I didn't expect it to die and wanted to find a chance to take revenge in the future. It should count itself lucky."

"Then it should have a divine artifact too, right?" The side of Gao Peng's mouth lifted. "Big Sea, any interest in this?"

Fatty Big Sea smiled. "If I didn't know that, I would have left it alone. Now that I'm aware, I can't miss out. I want to dance on its grave!"

"The guy had been fighting with me for so long that I'm well aware of some of its little tricks. Hearing this from you now, I can't wait."

"Yup." Gao Peng nodded slowly. "But we only have one Saint-tier now. You're only at the peak of Overlord. Let's wait until you break through to the Saint-tier before heading over."

Fatty Big Sea thought for a moment and nodded. "That's okay. My Sea Emperor's Devouring Teeth will increase the speed of my advancement. Don't worry; I'll break through to Saint-tier within three months."

Whoosh. There was a gust of wind on the island.

"A breakthrough." Gao Peng smiled. Silly had fallen into a deep sleep after it advanced to the Emperor-tier some time back, and now it had finally broken through.

The advancement in this space was extremely slow. Goldie, Da Zi, Stripey, and the Desolate Frost Lion had already been at the Overlord tier. Although Flamy was still Emperor-tier, it was a Level 70 peak Emperor-tier that was one step away from Overlord. However, Silly's breakthrough to the Emperor tier wasn't even as fast as the seven little Dragon Ants.

Swoosh. After the breeze subsided, the space in front of him distorted. In the next moment, a transparent silver jellyfish appeared in front of Gao Peng. When it saw Gao Peng, it randomly placed its tentacles on Gao Peng's hair, messing it up.

"Pull it balddd. Gao Peng is baldingggg," said Silly.

Gao Peng's scalp hurt slightly. Looking at the hair on the Silly's tentacles, he couldn't help but gasp, "Idiot, you actually plucked it."

"Huh?" Silly felt foolish. It had just been playing, so how had it really pulled hair out? Glancing at Gao Peng with a guilty look, then carefully leaving the hair on top of Gao Peng's head, it said, "Plant it back in… I've placed it back. It's not my concern anymore."

After saying that, it left the place in a flash, and no one knew where it went.

With Silly now promoted to a new tier, almost all of Gao Peng's familiars had reached Emperor-tier at the very least, except for Moneymaker.

After a while, Gao Peng summoned Da Zi to his side. He then called a visibly anxious Silly to him, as well. Silly had twisted its tentacles into knots and was clearly distressed.

"Gao Peng, are you going to punish me? If you are, I'm just going to run away right now," said Silly while trembling. It had decided that it would flee at the slightest hint of trouble. Quick-witted Silly would definitely run away, not giving Gao Peng and company any chance for retribution.

"Let's test out your new powers. Since you were only recently promoted, I figure you're still not used to them," said Gao Peng.

Silly sighed in relief. So that's what you called me here for…

Gao Peng flew out into the ocean on Da Zi's back. As they weren't too far away from the island, there weren't a lot of monsters in the water beneath them.

In just a short time, the island had become notorious for being an inhospitable place to live. A group of Overlord and Emperor-tier monsters seemed to have taken up residence there. Vicious ghouls lurked beneath the waves around the island, as well. There were swarms of them, and they came in all shapes and sizes, yet no monster dared trespass.

"Let's try out your Spatial Flash ability first," said Gao Peng.

Spatial Flash was perhaps the most basic Spatial-type ability commonly seen in Spatial-type monsters. It was also what separated the latter from monsters of other elemental attributes.

Spatial Flash was another name for spatial displacement. It was also known by other names such as teleportation or instant displacement. It had many names, but there was little to no difference between them.

However, Gao Peng had noticed something interesting about it. The Ocean Lurker's Spatial Flash ability, for instance, had a noticeable restriction on its usage. Gao Peng had noticed a small delay between the Ocean Lurker's jumps. It also seemed incapable of carrying out two consecutive Spatial Flashes in a short span of time.

Gao Peng had no idea what the main reason was behind such a limitation. However, he had also noticed that one of Silly's passive abilities allowed it to activate multiple Spatial Flashes with little to no delay between them.

He didn't know to what extent it would actually affect Silly's activation time. In an instant, Silly vanished on the spot. A moment later, it popped back into existence at least 300 feet away.

"Is that your farthest distance?" asked Gao Peng.

"No. Didn't you just want me to test out my Spatial Flash?" said Silly, scratching its head with one of its tentacles.

"Then give it everything you've got this time. I want to see how far you can teleport yourself."

"All right!" Silly began mustering every bit of its energy into its next Spatial Flash, its eyes staring straight at its destination.

Whoop! Its body vanished once again into thin air. In the next second, it reappeared three miles away. It was able to teleport across three miles with just one Spatial Flash.

Gao Peng frowned. He had no idea just how useful such an ability would be on the field. While three miles was certainly not something to sneeze at, Flowing Light could also cover the same distance at top speed in one or two seconds.

"Now try multiple Spatial Flashes this time," said Gao Peng.

Silly vanished again before reappearing in the distance as a blurry shape. Before its body came into focus, it vanished once more in a consecutive series of popping sounds. Then, it disappeared completely.

Where the hell did Silly teleport to? thought Gao Peng with a frown. This little rascal…

He opened his mouth, before realizing that he didn't know what to say. Through his Blood Contract connection with it, he shouted after Silly, "Get your slimy butt over here this instant!"

"Uhm? But Gao Peng, my butt's not that slimy."

"Then could you get your not-slimy butt over here this instant, pretty please, with a cherry on top?" said Gao Peng a bit too sweetly. This Light of the Soul ability is incredible.

"Gao Peng, I'm too tired to teleport back to you," Silly's voice suddenly echoed in Gao Peng's head. It took a bit longer for Silly to return to Gao Peng than when it started teleporting to god knows where.

One thing was for certain: Silly could definitely activate its Spatial Flash multiple times in a short span of time.

"Go take a rest," Gao Peng said to Silly.

After a while, Gao Peng went to check up on Silly and see just how much its portable space had expanded. He found out that its portable space had expanded quite a lot. It could probably fit the entire Yuzhou University inside itself if it wanted to.

At this point, its portable space could be rechristened as a strategic storage space. One could easily store an entire city's food reserve in such a huge space.

Finally, Gao Peng decided to test Silly's only offensive ability. "Silly, activate your Spatial Riot ability."

Silly grunted as its tentacles floated up around it. Nothing seemed to have changed in the area around it. However, Gao Peng suddenly sensed that something had changed in the spatial fabric before him. He just couldn't put his finger on it.

Puzzled, he strained his eyes at the space in front of him. There was a chance that the effect of Silly's Spatial Riot ability couldn't be seen by the naked eye.

"Da Zi, can you see what's happening?"

Da Zi cocked its head to the side while observing the seemingly empty space before it. After a while, it said, "Something's definitely happening… For some reason, the air here suddenly feels… oppressive."

Gao Peng fell silent for a moment. Then, he looked at Silly. Even though it was able to activate its Spatial Riot ability, Gao Peng figured that one had to be equipped with a Spatial-type ability in order to see what was going on.

Naturally, Gao Peng didn't have any Spatial-type ability to speak of. He was just a trainer after all, not a human-like familiar.

However, Gao Peng had an ability that allowed him to use any of his familiars' powers temporarily. Only Overlord-tier trainers would have access to such an ability. He placed his right hand on Silly's head, initiating contact with the latter's spirit. In an instant, Gao Peng's body began to blur… until he completely disappeared from the spot.

Silly suddenly froze. A second later, its movements returned to normal. Gao Peng was now looking at things from a unique point of view; he was looking at the world around him through Silly's eyes.

Most jellyfish didn't have eyes in the strictest sense of the word. They did, however, possess a unique set of photoreceptive sensory organs to help them navigate their surroundings.

Through Silly's eyes, Gao Peng was able to see that everything in a ten-mile radius around it had transformed into a mire of sorts! It was as if Silly had placed a distorted film of glass over the world.

The jellyfish was apparently able to muddle the spatial fabric around it with its Spatial Riot ability. Under such circumstances, one could probably imagine how hard it would be for other familiars to activate their own Spatial-type abilities.

This wasn't the first time Gao Peng had fused his consciousness with Silly's. He wanted to try out Silly's ability himself. However, as it wasn't his body to begin with, it wouldn't be possible for him to pull it off right away.

If they were in an actual fight, he would probably be better off letting his familiars keep full control of their faculties. As the actual owners of their own bodies, his familiars had more experience and mastery in using their own abilities than Gao Peng. The only advantage he could provide by fusing with them was a more intelligent consciousness taking control of their bodies.

Gao Peng tried to activate Silly's Power of Space ability. Unfortunately, due to his unfamiliarity with the finer points of the jellyfish's body, his aim was off by 18,000 miles. Fortunately, the Spatial Riot ability had a wide range. Even though his aim was off, the discharge of spatial energy was still within the Spatial Riot's range.

As soon as the energy entered the visibly affected spatial fabric, it began crackling like a drop of water that had fallen into a pan of scalding hot oil! Pop, pop—

The chaotic state of the spatial fabric before Gao Peng spread out even more, as if it was suddenly excited. Moments later, sharp spatial blades flew out from the point of the explosion.

"What's going on, Gao Peng?" exclaimed Da Zi as it saw spatial blades cutting through the air in front of it.

"This is Silly's Spatial Blades attack. It's what happens when a burst of spatial energy comes into contact with an area of disturbed spatial fabric," explained Gao Peng, who was still fused with Silly's consciousness.

Da Zi gave Silly a sideways look. It seemed to be stifling a laugh.

Gao Peng-Silly looked at Da Zi, unamused. "Is there something funny?"

"No, no, it's nothing…" said Da Zi after swallowing down its laughter and taking a deep breath.

Silly's Spatial Riot doesn't seem to affect non-spatial familiars if it doesn't receive any further stimulus. However, adding an additional discharge of spatial energy into the mix would trigger a chain reaction, which might get a little… dicey, thought Gao Peng.

Silly's Spatial Blades attack might have been more dangerous than any of its other abilities. Gao Peng didn't think that an ordinary monster would be able to block its damage completely. Generally speaking, Spatial-type attacks were capable of dishing out more damage than those of other elemental attributes.

Of course, Gao Peng was reluctant to see what would happen if he continued to stimulate the spatial fabric that had already been affected by Silly's Spatial Riot ability with additional spatial energy discharges. He had a feeling that the consequences would be more than he could handle.

Spatial Riot's most important effect, at least in Gao Peng's opinion, was its ability to affect space. For instance, if Silly activated its Spatial Riot ability during their confrontation with the Ocean Lurker, they wouldn't have had to worry about the latter teleporting away to freedom.

When Gao Peng was done with his experiments, he defused himself from Silly and told it to keep practicing its newly gained abilities. He also warned it against using its Spatial Riot ability near the island.

For the next few days, Gao Peng decided to take a break on the island while all of his familiars were engaged in their training routines. All of them trained and ate diligently every day on the island.

Gao Peng was sitting on a huge rock near the beach, when suddenly the seawater swelled before him. A ghoulish sea dragon emerged from the water and opened its mouth, which contained a blue crystal.

Gao Peng removed the crystal, which was still warm from its mouth. Goldie, who was squatting beside Gao Peng, suddenly heard a sizzling noise coming from beneath its feet. Scorch marks were left on the ground.

"Gao Peng, is that for Flamy?" asked Goldie curiously.

Glancing at Goldie, Gao Peng said, "Yeah, it's for your lady."

Goldie stared at him, wide-eyed. Then it shook his head dramatically. "What are you talking about? I don't understand a single word that you just said."

Gao Peng chuckled. There's no point denying it. I even saw you taking Flamy out to sea to fish for food. You were swimming in the water, while Flamy flew overhead in search of fish. Now that's what I call a romantic date.

It was Fifth Baby who had reported this to Gao Peng. It had been passing by in stealth mode at the time when it saw what was happening. If it hadn't been for Fifth Baby, no one would have known about Goldie and Flamy's little rendezvous.

Still, Gao Peng was quite astonished by this. Goldie had never been the brightest of the bunch, while Flamy had always been a prideful bird. He didn't know when the two of them had started getting along. This would explain why he rarely saw them in the past few days. The two birds had been spending their time together out at sea all this time.

'All right, I don't much care what's going on between the two of you. Just make sure that you two don't bring a flock of baby duck-cranes home," said Gao Peng. He then threw the blue crystal to Goldie. "It's a Seamount Fire Crystal. It contains seamount lava essence. Flamy should be able to increase the power of its flames with it."

Goldie felt the crystal in its hands. "I understand. I guess I'd better get going then." It strode away happily in search of Flamy as if it had just received its monthly paycheck from Gao Peng.

On the other side of the mountain, Flamy was pacing back and forth, visibly perturbed by something. When it caught sight of Goldie in the distance, Flamy rushed up to it and whispered hurriedly, "What did Gao Peng say? Why were you gone for so long? Did he realize what was going on between the two of us?"

"Well, your Gao Peng…" started Goldie.

"What do you mean 'your' Gao Peng? Isn't he your master too?!" said Flamy, rolling its eyes at Goldie.

"Yes, yes, that's what I meant to say. Our Gao Peng," said Goldie, laughing apologetically. At that moment, the 20-foot duck with tattoos all over its body was suddenly reduced to a two-month-old duckling.

"Gao Peng asked me to give this to you. It's a Seamount Fire Crystal." It handed the warm blue crystal over to Flamy.

Flamy swallowed it in one gulp. Green flames surged forth from its abdomen, melting the crystal into a blue fluid. Like a pack of ravenous wolves, the green flames attacked the blue fluid without mercy.

"Gao Peng knows, by the way," said Goldie in a low voice.

"What?!" Flamy let out a satisfied belch when it was done digesting the blue crystal. White smoke was still rising out of its beak. When it heard what Goldie said, a strangled sound came out of its throat.

"Damn, baldie, did you say something to tip him off?" said Flamy, flustered.

"No, I swear, I said nothing to him. I'm not that stupid. Gao Peng was able to put two and two together by himself," said Goldie, trying desperately to explain itself.

Flamy grew more anxious. After a while, it said, "Since Gao Peng already knows what's going on between the two of us, I think it's best for us not to see each other for the time being." It flew off without looking back at Goldie.

Goldie stood there all by its lonesome, a confused look on its face. After seeing Flamy disappear into the distance, Goldie looked down at its empty hands. Did I do something wrong?

Boom! A huge wave crashed onto the beach. Moments later, a huge… head emerged from the water. It was like a demon that had clawed its way up from the depths of the ocean. Its body was covered with strange markings, its mouth lined with more than ten rows of teeth. It was glowing with an almost oppressive golden light.

Bam. The creature leaped out of the water and did a few twirls mid-air before splashing back into the sea. As soon as it fell back into the water, an invisible ripple spread out from its point of entry. In the next second, a ring of light flowed across the surface of the sea before rising out of the water as a blinding pillar of light.

In an instant, shades of blue and white filled the world. The wind began howling harshly, while waves towered over everything else. Anyone would have mistaken the creature for the god of the sea, Poseidon himself.

Chapter 593: The Amorphic Hell Tree

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

"Fatty Big Sea has been promoted to Saint-tier." Every familiar on the island had sensed the sudden change in the sea, their reactions varied.

Even though they were all Gao Peng's familiars, there was still a rivalry going on between them. This was to be expected, since there were so many of them and only one trainer. The only thing that truly mattered to them was Gao Peng's affection.

Dumby was quietly staring at the newly promoted Fatty Big Sea. A fierce look suddenly crossed its face. Standing up, it walked over to the front of its palace and splayed out its right hand.

The surface of the sea began to froth and bubble violently. Bones emerged from its depths of the sea, forming a skeletal layer on the surface. At times, huge skeletal forms swam past beneath the layer of bones, their spirit flames illuminating the water below.

A ghoulish clam opened its shell, revealing its fleshless interior. Spine-like bones lined the inside of its shell, where a singular purple flame burned brightly. Behind it, the bones of a Skeleton Forest Yu Demon began reassembling itself. The sea had become a veritable skeleton paradise.

Booom! A sudden explosion from the depths of the sea rocked the island. Moments later, a blood-curdling shriek pierced the air.

The waves sloshed about wildly. The layer of bones had exploded, their fragments scattered across the surface of the sea. A dark figure slowly emerged from the water like a sturdy plant growing out of compost.

A seemingly unending black fog began rising from the sea, threatening to bring death, fear, madness, malice, violence and more to the world. The dark, shadowy demon tree had taken root in the middle of the ocean, its branches blocking out a huge portion of the sky.

Rings of iridescent light spread out from the demon tree's roots. A change occurred in all the ghouls that were touched by the light.

A ten-foot-long skeletal fish was minding its own business in the water when suddenly it was enveloped by the tree's light. Its body was swathed in a dark fog, and its bones grew sturdier, its teeth more wicked-looking. There was now bloodlust in its eyes. It swam away quicker than before in search of prey beneath the waves.

"Uhm?" Fatty Big Sea looked back at the ocean. It had a bad feeling about this.

To most monsters, nothing good ever came from Ghoul-type monsters. As part of their undead existence, their very existence was antagonistic to the concept of life.

The blackened tree seemed to have broken through the ocean's surface like a malevolent shadow. It began shrinking as it flew towards Dumby's palm.

Dumby half-closed its hand. The Amorphic Hell Tree's roots entwined themselves around Dumby's fingers. Its bottom was planted firmly on Dumby's palm, through which the latter absorbed the rings of light radiating from the tree's body. Held out like the devil's fingers, the tree's fine branches seemed to be exuding an almost mesmerizing power.

The Amorphic Hell Tree had amassed all six forms of malevolent energies inside itself: Violence, Bloodlust, Fear, Death, Malice, and Despair. It was now close to reaching the Overlord tier. It only needed to absorb a seventh form of energy at this point in order to reach the Saint tier. The Amorphic Hell Tree could evolve continually by absorbing all kinds of negative energy.

Dumby exited the palace while carrying the Amorphic Hell Tree in one hand. The latter didn't seem to mind becoming one of Dumby's accessories.

Gao Peng summoned all of his familiars to him. When everyone had assembled around him, Gao Peng said, "I think it's time we leave. I'm sure all of you have gotten a lot out of this place, but there wouldn't be much point in training for so long and not showing off the fruits of your training to everyone else, wouldn't you agree? By the way, do you all still remember the labyrinths we encountered on our way here?"

"Yeah."

"I still have nightmares about the creatures there," confessed Silly.

"I'm still not over last time. The labyrinths' treasures were ours to begin with, but those shameless fiends swiped them right in front of us," spat Desolion.

Da Zi had no idea what they were talking about, as it hadn't been with them back then. "What labyrinths are you talking about?" it asked.

"Really big ones. Each labyrinth was as big as a city, and in every one of them was a treasure of inestimable value," explained Flamy.

"Was it edible?" asked Da Zi. Shame that I wasn't there with Gao Peng and the others back then. He even told me that he wasn't eating anything fancy behind my back…

"However, every labyrinth was protected by a powerful monster. None of us were a match for them," added Flamy.

Da Zi clicked its mandibles reassuringly. "Fret not, we have Dumby and Fatty Big Sea with us."

The group of familiars began discussing how they should ration their food for the upcoming trip. It was as if they already had the labyrinths' treasures in their bags.

Unlike the other familiars, the Dragon Slaying Chapter didn't require nourishment and so saw no point in joining the conversation, so it idly flipped through its pages in a corner while listening to the ongoing chatter.

The coastline finally appeared on the horizon. Fourth Baby was flying towards it comfortably, its silver wings leaving a trail of light in their wake.

It had been flying in this direction for a whole month. Thanks to its innate monster traits, Fourth Baby had been able to improve its speed in small increments as it flew in a fixed direction. After flying for a month, it could now fly at breakneck speed, so it was twice as fast as Da Zi.

In the next second, it appeared directly above the coastline. Before Gao Peng even realized what was going on, Fourth Baby had left the coastline far behind it.

Gao Peng didn't ask it to stop. This was only the coastline. The labyrinths were located deep within the mainland to the south. He looked down impassively at the land that stretched far and wide below him. Suddenly, he caught sight of something.

"Stop, Fourth Baby."

There was an ordinary-looking labyrinth not too far away from them that wasn't terribly big. A labyrinth of that size could only hold monsters that were Emperor-tier or lower. At that moment, something seemed to be challenging the present master of the labyrinth for its title.

When Fourth Baby was close enough, the two Emperor-tier monsters ceased their battle and cautiously looked at the newcomer. They could sense that the newcomer was an Emperor-tier monster just like themselves and knew better than to continue fighting with each other, as it would only give Fourth Baby a chance to kill two birds with one stone.

The Mountain Giant angrily tore a huge chunk of land off the ground and threw it at Fourth Baby, letting it know that its presence wasn't welcomed there. With a flash of light, Fourth Baby's wings cleaved the incoming chunk of land into four neat sections.

The Medusa, which had come to a stalemate with the Mountain Giant, looked up at the newcomer. It didn't recognize Fourth Baby, but for some reason, there was something familiar about the aura that it was giving off…

"Yo, long time, no see," said Gao Peng cheerily, poking his head out from behind Fourth Baby's back and waving a hand at the two monsters on the ground.

Chapter 594: The Runaway Mountain Giant

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

Medusa immediately recognized Gao Peng as soon as it saw him poke his head out from behind Fourth Baby. Even though it had been three whole years, to someone who spent most of their time in a labyrinth, Gao Peng was someone who was worth remembering.

"Want me to take care of this guy for you?" said Gao Peng, pointing at the Mountain Giant.

The Mountain Giant was a Rock-type monster. Immunity to Petrification was one of its passive skills. Petrification had little to no effect on it, as its body was already made of stone. Trying to turn it into stone would be like trying to drown a fish.

Medusa hurriedly nodded. It wasn't opposed to some help at this point. It knew that it was no match for the Mountain Giant, while the latter knew that it outmatched it, as well. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been there trying to usurp the title of labyrinth master.

Being on the weaker side of the Emperor-tier spectrum, the Mountain Giant would probably have a lot of trouble trying to take control of any other labyrinths. It had physical strength to spare, its skin was nigh impenetrable, and it was especially immune to Earth and Rock-type attacks. However, it had a glaring weakness: its overall lack of agility, thanks to its huge, cumbersome body.

Medusa's petrification attack had no effect on it. As physical attacks weren't its specialty, it could only rely on its innate agility as it spun circles around the Mountain Giant. Medusa was already thinking about letting the Mountain Giant have this place if it meant that its heart could still beat a little longer. After all, it could always look for other labyrinths to call home. It just needed to take the stone sparrow statue out of the labyrinth first.

"Fourth Baby, take it from here," Gao Peng said. He didn't see the need to summon any other familiars to take on the Mountain Giant.

Fourth Baby was essentially Gao Peng's glorified riding familiar. Unlike his other familiars, it didn't have a strong presence in the team. Gao Peng had no reason to let it fight his battles most of the time.

Fourth Baby's eyes lit up. Its master only ever let Da ZI and the others take care of his enemies. This was the first time he had let it enter the battlefield. I can't disappoint Gao Peng now.

A silver light exploded from Fourth Baby's Aurora Wings, which now looked like two huge swords slicing the air. Boom, boom, boom!

At that moment, the Mountain Giant was enveloped by its Aurora Wings. Its body was being slashed repeatedly by something sharp. Letting out a roar, the Mountain Giant rushed at Fourth Baby, ready to beat it to a pulp. However, the latter had flown out of its reach. No matter how hard the Mountain Giant tried, its fists couldn't reach Fourth Baby.

Fourth Baby's Aurora Wings continued lashing out at its opponent like a pair of whips. In the end, the Mountain Giant couldn't take it anymore, and it ran off with its hands over the back of its head.

Upon seeing the Mountain Giant's fleeing form, Medusa heaved a sigh of relief.

Gao Peng ordered Fourth Baby to descend to the ground. He then jumped down from its back and said, "Long time, no see. I've been abroad for some time, but now I'm back. You look just as ravishing as the last time I saw you three years ago."

Medusa blushed. Gao Peng snapped his fingers, summoning Stripey to him in order to protect himself from Medusa's gaze.

Gao Peng and the others were now standing so close to Medusa that they could basically make eye contact with it. Fourth Baby was the only one who couldn't resist Medusa's petrifying gaze. It turned away hurriedly, not daring to meet its eyes.

Medusa curiously looked at Stripey. It seemed to have grown a lot since Medusa had last seen it. It then turned to Gao Peng, inviting him to its labyrinth to rest for a bit.

Gao Peng graciously accepted the invitation. Along the way, he summoned Fatty Big Sea into the open with another snap of his fingers. It was in its shrunken form. "We're in a labyrinth, albeit a rather ordinary one. See if you can sense anything in it."

As soon as it was summoned into the labyrinth, Fatty Big sea immediately picked up on a strange smell in the air. Frowning, it said to Gao Peng, "This place was passed down by that elephant. No wonder it looks so familiar."

Gao Peng then watched as Fatty Big Sea pressed itself against the labyrinth's wall, sucking on it like a leech.

"What's it…" started Medusa, giving Gao Peng a worried look. It had never seen such an odd spectacle in all its life.

"Don't worry, it's nothing," said Gao Peng casually. He walked over to Fatty Big Sea and pulled it off the wall. "Let's go deeper into the labyrinth. The scent's stronger there." Upon hearing this, Fatty Big Sea stopped struggling and simply let Gao Peng drag it away by the tail.

"No other monster has passed through these corridors in a long time," said Medusa, who was leading the way in front of them.

The labyrinth was silent. Unlike other labyrinth masters, who had taken it upon themselves to groom their own servants, Medusa preferred living there alone.

Even if it wanted to take on another monster as a servant, it would be hard-pressed to find one that could resist its gaze. Most monsters would simply be transformed into stone ornaments for the labyrinth.

After some time, they finally reached the deeper parts of the labyrinth. There, Gao Peng could see that there was a bamboo forest. Sunlight passed through the bamboo leaves, beneath which the ground looked mottled. Stone statues of various shapes and sizes were gathered in the center of the place.

"These are the stone statues I've collected so far," said Medusa cheerily.

"This is a golden boar. It was the first monster I encountered after leaving my mother's labyrinth and also the first monster I petrified," it explained, nostalgically caressing the life-like statue of a boar.

Gao Peng nodded as he gazed at the statues around him, all of which seemed to have been carved by an expert hand. He knew that these weren't statues that had been carved by hand, but rather, monsters that had been frozen into stone for eternity.

"And this here is…" Medusa began giving Gao Peng a grand tour of the place. Gao Peng nodded, listening to its every word attentively and even occasionally giving his own opinion on something.

On the other hand, Fatty Big Sea was left to scamper about on its own the moment they entered the place. "That damn elephant's scent is faint here. This place definitely has its architectural sense written all over it, but it has never been here, that's for sure. I don't think this place was even built by it," muttered Fatty Big Sea.

"Still, there is the matter of its scent… Could this place have been built by its divine artifact?" it said, visibly excited. The thought of desecrating its sworn enemy's grave by relieving it of its divine artifact excited Fatty Big Sea greatly.

"Have you ever thought about leaving this place? You could come along with me. There's nothing interesting to do here in the labyrinth. There's a more beautiful place out there waiting for you, you know," said Gao Peng.

Medusa shook its head. "The outside world's a bit too noisy."

"But the Mountain Giant's still out there. You couldn't even fend it off yourself back there," said Gao Peng, sighing. "Once I'm gone, it'll definitely come back to challenge you again. It's obvious that you're at a disadvantage against it," he explained.

Medusa closed its eyes as it pondered this for a good while. Opening its eyes, it said, "If it comes to that, I'll just let it have my labyrinth and find a new place to stay."

"Don't you think that's a bit too troublesome? Will you be able to take all your possessions with you?" said Gao Peng, pointing at the pile of treasures and trinkets in the middle of the labyrinth.

Medusa fell silent again.

"You and I both know that the Mountain Giant won't let you take your sweet time to pack up when it comes back here again."

"Even if I choose to leave with you, there's no way you can take all this with you," said Medusa, sensing an obvious flaw in Gao Peng's suggestion.

Gao Peng smiled. "That's what you think." With a snap of his fingers, the amazingly convenient storage space that was Silly appeared in front of them.

Chapter 595: The Divine Brick

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

Medusa was stunned by Gao Peng's offer. Looking apologetically at Gao Peng, it said, "Thank you for the offer, but unlike other monsters, I don't fancy the idea of being someone else's familiar. I'm really sorry."

Despite Gao Peng's attempts to convince it to leave the place, Medusa ultimately decided to remain in the labyrinth.

"What about your stone statues…?" asked Gao Peng uncertainly.

"There's nothing I can do about them at this point," said Medusa, smiling weakly. The dark green snakes on its head had calmed down considerably.

Gao Peng nodded, sighing. "I respect your decision."

Suddenly, Fatty Big Sea flopped out from between the stone statues before landing in front of Gao Peng, leaving a huge crater on the ground.

While laughing, it said, "Hahaha, I found it! Quick, Gao Peng, come with me."

Fatty Big Sea was able to easily chew its way through the labyrinth, which most monsters had deemed nigh impregnable. Its Sea Emperor Devouring Teeth were, after all, a divine artifact. Even without reinforcing its body's overall density, it was able to penetrate the labyrinth's walls with the power of its teeth.

Fatty Big Sea was now shoveling huge chunks of soil out of the ground with its mouth. The hole beneath it grew steadily deeper with each bite it took. It was working at a quick pace, and in a matter of minutes, it had dug out a massive hole in the ground.

Medusa clapped its hand over its mouth. It couldn't believe what it was seeing just then. It was common knowledge among monsters like themselves that labyrinths such as this one were all but indestructible. The fact that it was being violated so easily in front of it went against everything it knew.

'Sorry for messing up your place," apologized Fatty Big Sea.

"It's all right. I'm going to move out soon anyway," Medusa replied.

Suddenly, a loud crunching sound came from Fatty Big Sea's mouth when it bit into the ground again. The sound was loud and clear, as if it had hit something hard in the ground. Then there was the sound of Fatty Big Sea crushing whatever it had in its mouth between its teeth before swallowing it down.

"What are you eating?" asked Gao Peng. As Fatty Big Sea had its back to him, he couldn't clearly see what it had in its mouth.

Fatty Big Sea's body trembled. Then, it replied with its mouth still full, "I'm eating dirt."

Gao Peng jumped into the hole and kicked Fatty Big Sea aside. In the middle of the hole lay what appeared to be a gray, half-eaten brick.

[Item: Divine Brick (Leftover)

[Item Description: A brick that fell off of the Endless Reincarnation Labyrinth.

Gao Peng stared at it, speechless.

"It's just an ordinary brick. I may have chipped a tooth just now," muttered Fatty Big Sea.

Gao Peng simply chuckled. He didn't reprimand it, or at least, not in front of Medusa.

"I guess we had better get going," said Gao Peng. After bidding Medusa farewell, he left the labyrinth alongside Fatty Big Sea. All the warmth on his face disappeared. Holding Fatty Big Sea by the tail, he climbed onto Fourth Baby's back and ordered it to fly in any direction it wanted until they reached the next labyrinth in the area.

"What are you doing, Gao Peng? I was just eating some dirt and bricks. I don't deserve to be held upside down like a common fish. Oh, the inhumanity!" said Fatty Big Sea, tears filling up its eyes.

Gao Peng had to hand it to Fatty Big Sea. As a Water-type familiar, it was able to make its eyes look as watery as possible with just a blink of its eyes. Anyone else looking at this absurd scene might have thought that Gao Peng was really abusing the fish.

"I'm keeping all the divine bricks that you find from now on." Gao Peng weighed the half-eaten divine brick in his hand. There was a chunk missing from one of its corners.

Fatty Big Sea stared at it, wide-eyed. How did he know what I was up to?!

"Make sure this doesn't happen again." Since Fatty Big Sea was the one who had discovered the divine brick back in the labyrinth, Gao Peng decided to give what was left of it back to the familiar. Fatty Big Sea caught the brick in its mouth, then proceeded to chew on it noisily.

"Truth be told, I'm not keeping it for myself. I can't even digest it properly in my stomach," said Fatty Big Sea, smiling abashedly at Gao Peng.

"This divine brick must have fallen off of the Endless Reincarnation Labyrinth. It has a bit of divine artifact power in it. It can also be used for buffing and sharpening the Sea Emperor Devouring Teeth.

"Don't worry, this brick is only an extension of the labyrinth itself. It could grow indefinitely from the labyrinth. As long as the labyrinth remains unharmed, it should be quite safe to consume one or two of its bricks," said Fatty Big Sea. "Besides, this isn't my first time eating these things. I used to indulge myself with the old fogey's divine artifacts all the time."

A week later, Gao Peng stumbled upon another labyrinth whose occupant, a Desert Fish monster, was instantly devoured by Fatty Big Sea and Fourth Baby for lunch. Fatty Big Sea had also discovered another divine brick buried deep within the labyrinth. It gave the divine brick to Gao Peng, who played with it in his hands for a moment.

In all respects, it looked like a simple brick. Gao Peng wouldn't have given it much thought if the data frame hadn't pointed out the brick's unique nature to him. When the brick was removed from the labyrinth's grounds, the mysterious power protecting the labyrinth disappeared along with it.

Gao Peng traced out a deep gash across one of the labyrinth's walls with a finger and frowned. It's just an ordinary wall.

Fourth Baby, who had picked up on the sudden change that had come over the labyrinth, easily smashed its head through another part of the wall. It shook its head, amazed at how easily it had been able to destroy the wall. It still remembered how much it had hurt the last time it crashed headfirst into one of the labyrinth's walls.

Without the divine brick's protection, the whole structure was now nothing more than an ordinary stone labyrinth. Even a Lord-tier monster could bring down its walls easily. It was then that Gao Peng frowned at the thought of the divine brick that Fatty Big Sea had swallowed back in Medusa's labyrinth.

Gao Peng and the others spent the next few days exploring other labyrinths. To him, these labyrinths were like coffins filled with mysterious treasures. He was popping open each of these treasure-filled coffins along with his familiars like they were a bunch of graverobbers.

"That old geezer's corpse couldn't be buried in one of these ordinary labyrinths. Knowing it, it must have been buried in an extravagant place," said Fatty Big Sea, shaking its head. "There's just too many of these ordinary labyrinths. It would probably take more than ten years to search every single one of them."

It paused. Then, it narrowed its eyes and said, "I think there's something wrong with this picture. Every labyrinth has a divine brick in it. The divine aura it gives off is conducive to the growth and evolution of any monster that finds itself inside a labyrinth. Also, I found out that these labyrinths are situated in places that are rich in spiritual energy. Such places are known for their abundance of divine treasures."

"Maybe it's not… dead?" asked Gao Peng hesitantly.

"Impossible!" Fatty Big Sea shook its head resolutely. "It's the god of the labyrinths. Its fall from grace and the destruction of its divine body released its power into the world, which as a result, triggered an explosion of labyrinths everywhere."

"Uh huh." Gao Peng simply nodded. "Let's continue moving south then."

"It must be in this direction." After consuming so many divine bricks throughout their journey, Fatty Big Sea could now sense, if only vaguely, where their prize was. These divine bricks had once been part of the fallen god's body, after all. They literally reeked of its divine aura.

Fatty Big Sea's lips curved upward in a smile, revealing a glimmer of gold in its mouth.

Gao Peng thought they could easily find the subsequent labyrinths. However, Fatty Big Sea seemed to be leading them in circles.

"Here… no, not here. Direction's off by a bit.

"… Not here either. I think it's back where we came from. We may have taken a wrong turn.

"I, Fatty Big Sea, swear that I will not lead us astray this time. If so, may God smite me down!

"… I'm sorry, Gao Peng. I don't care if I get struck by lightning at this point. Give me one more chance, just one!

"Why are you looking at me like that? I can sense that we're getting close," said Fatty Big Sea as it turned around coyly, its huge round face screwed up in concentration.

"Pah!" Goldie spat at it. "We've been searching for half a year. You've said the same stupid thing 124 times already!"

"Oh? You've been keeping count, baldie?" said Flamy. It sounded surprised. "Aren't you supposed to be the slow-witted one? I never knew you had a head for numbers." The air around them grew tense.

Goldie rubbed its bald scalp absently. There was an embarrassed look on its face. "I just said the first number that popped into my head…"

Flamy rolled its eyes at Goldie.

"Enough. Let's just keep on moving," said Gao Peng, breaking his squabbling familiars apart. He let Fatty Big Sea continue leading the way. As they turned around a mountain, Gao Peng, who was growing less and less optimistic about his familiar's navigational skill, suddenly came to a halt.

Right before him lay an empty plain, in the middle of which stood a massive labyrinth. The labyrinth stood tall and magnificent, with a faint glimmer of gold in the sky above it. The whole structure was so vast that it seemed to stretch far beyond the horizon.

The labyrinth seemed to be teeming with monsters. Behind its 300-foot-tall walls, monsters of all shapes and sizes went about their business. It was like another world, the occupants of which had probably lived their whole lives behind these walls without even once setting foot in the outside world.

Gao Peng could see huge trees growing from behind the labyrinth's outer walls, as well as bird nests nestled in their lush canopies.

A couple of red-feathered bird monsters poked their heads out from their nests and began chirping noisily at each other. Out of the corner of his eye, Gao Peng saw a huge snake slithering across one of the tree's stems, its scales the same shade of brown as the tree. It was drawing closer and closer towards one of the bird nests… In one explosive movement, it lunged at one of the red-feathered birds before devouring it instantly.

Gao Peng then noticed that the labyrinth's outer walls gradually took on a brownish-yellow color some distance away. They also seemed to be covered with blemishes. The pathways near that section of the wall were submerged in sand…

The labyrinth seemed to contain all kinds of terrain in it, from lush forests to murky swamps.

Da Zi exclaimed, "This place is huge."

"I've never seen a labyrinth this big," said Desolion, nodding.

"It's here," said Fatty Big Sea, its eyes lighting up. "I told you, didn't I? That the labyrinth was in this direction!"

"Shut your trap, you spineless b*stard. You have quite the nerve to open your mouth when you were the one leading us in circles for half a year," spat Goldie.

"I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing back then," Fatty Big Sea muttered in an attempt to excuse itself.

As Gao Peng had no idea how big the labyrinth was, he climbed onto Da Zi's back and ordered it to gain some altitude. When they were a few miles up in the air, Gao Peng saw that he couldn't see where the labyrinth ended.

The other end of the labyrinth seemed to have disappeared behind the horizon.

"It's huge…" said Gao Peng under his breath, frowning. Inside the labyrinth lay an intricate network of pathways. One could easily get lost inside it if one didn't know his or her way around the place.

Gao Peng began taking pictures of the place with a camera. The pictures he had taken were filled with vague shadowy forms, though some of them were obscured by blotches of light. It was as if a thick layer of fog was hanging over the whole place.

After some thought, Gao Peng took a few more pictures with his phone, then compared the pictures he had taken with his phone with those he had taken just before. There was certainly something obscuring the overhead view of the labyrinth. Every picture he took, be it with his phone or camera, had come out blemished and unfocused.

"I guess I'll just have to commit the labyrinth's layout to memory the old-fashioned way." Gao Peng strained his eyes at the labyrinth below. Curiously enough, when he tried to recall the labyrinth's layout, all he had was a vague image of the place. The more Gao Peng tried to focus on it, the more unclear it became.

Ten minutes later, Gao Peng kneaded his brow in exasperation.

I can't remember anything about it… What kind of place is this?

When Gao Peng returned to solid ground, Fatty Big Sea grinned at him smugly. "Gao Peng, were you trying to memorize the labyrinth's layout, but then you realized that you couldn't remember anything about it?"

"Do you know what's going on?" asked Gao Peng, shooting it a sideways look.

"Well sure, I've fought with that guy for so long. Of course I knew what some of its powers were. It's the god of labyrinths. If anyone could memorize the layout of its labyrinths with just one glance… well, then it wouldn't be the god of anything now, would it?" said Fatty Big Sea.

"Even if you were able to memorize the labyrinth's layout by some miracle, you would find out sooner or later that the labyrinth's interior is constantly changing."

Gao Peng was stunned to hear this. "I didn't see anything change just now."

"You can't see it happen from above… It's kind of hard to put it into words. The labyrinths operate on the concept of precepts; they can muddle your sixth sense without you knowing about it," said Fatty Big Sea, sighing. "However, this guy's specialty isn't labyrinths. It's the ability to easily mow down its enemies. For a time, I thought it was the god of war.

"Despite being the god of labyrinths, its combat power was second to none, even among other minor gods."

Before, Gao Peng had only been interested in the god of labyrinths' divine artifacts. Now, he was growing more and more curious about the god of labyrinths itself.

"Let's go. I used to frequent these labyrinths in the past. You could say I know them like the back of my hand." Fatty Big Sea flopped forward to the front of the group. "I'm going to take that guy's divine artifact and dance on its grave! It's dead, and I'm not!" it said in a sing-song voice.

When they were inside the labyrinth, Gao Peng realized that Fatty Big Sea hadn't been lying when it said it knew its way around the labyrinth. He couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness. How many times had it been trapped inside these labyrinths in order for it to become so familiar with their ins and outs?

Gao Peng stared at it wide-eyed when he saw Fatty Big Sea wriggle into a hole on one of the outer walls. How on earth did you even know that was there? Did you live here before?

Fatty Big Sea turned around and saw that Gao Peng was still standing there. It called out to him, "What are you standing there for? Follow me!"

Gao Peng contorted his lips, then nodded. "Coming."

Fatty Big Sea led Gao Peng through the tunnel. Along the way, it told Gao Peng a few things he needed to keep in mind. "Don't run off on your own when there's a sandstorm, or you might fall into a trap. Keep close to the walls… Also, be careful when you're near the labyrinth's swampy areas. There's…"

Fatty Big Sea kept educating Gao Peng about various matters that needed attention. From its detailed "guide," Fatty Big Sea was at least a platinum member of the labyrinth. Gao Peng couldn't help laughing when he thought of that.

"What are you laughing at? I'm telling you about serious stuff." Fatty Big Sea was a little angry. I'm being serious and cautioning you to pay attention. How could you laugh?! I, Fatty Big Sea, need to be respected too.

Fatty Big Sea snorted when it saw Gao Peng restrain his smile. "You should be glad that there's no god on duty in the labyrinth. It's because there's no god on duty that the divine artifact isn't activated now, but even so, it's very dangerous. My strength hasn't been fully restored. If we really encountered any forms of danger, I might not be able to protect you."

"I won't laugh anymore." Gao Peng rubbed his stiff face and took a deep breath. "The divine artifact you've mentioned… This labyrinth is a divine artifact. We're inside a divine artifact?" Gao Peng sized up the wall beside him, but the data frame failed to show up.

"Yes, we're inside a divine artifact," Fatty Big Sea said lightly. "Is it surprising or beyond your expectations? This isn't the core of the divine artifact; to control the core of the labyrinth, we must find it. The core of the labyrinth is in the deepest part of it. I managed to get inside some years ago." Fatty Big Sea was proud when it said the last sentence.

"You're the best," Gao Peng praised Fatty Big Sea.

Although Fatty Big Sea was familiar with the labyrinth, it was inevitable that they would encounter some monsters there. Just then, Fatty Big Sea revealed the professional capability of a former god—it grew bigger in size, opened its mouth, bit another's head, closed its mouth, and swallowed. The whole process was smooth.

Gao Peng was tired after walking for a while. He said to Fatty Big Sea, "Fatty Big Sea, can I just merge with you? I can relax in there and you won't have to divert your attention to protect me."

Fatty Big Sea immediately refused. In fact, Gao Peng had suggested that to Fatty Big Sea previously, but every time, he was severely declined by Fatty Big Sea.

"I'm a god," Fatty Big Sea said solemnly. "If other gods saw me merging with a human being, I would lose all of my dignity."

"Shut your trap. I'm not controlling your body; I'll just observe from the side." Gao Peng gave it a pat on the head.

Fatty Big Sea hummed and hawed but finally chose to merge with Gao Peng. After merging with the fish, Gao Peng felt the power raging in his body. From Fatty Big Sea's perspective, Gao Peng felt like the world was changing in front of him. There seemed to be a layer of chains linking everything in the world, but he couldn't really see it.

At the edge of the wall in front of him, a faint golden radiance was radiating. Gao Peng's pupils dilated and looked into it. He saw numerous tiny golden runes like tadpoles that were connected into a big net. Gao Peng guessed that the protection the labyrinth was receiving was due to the effects of the golden net.

"Don't move my body recklessly." Fatty Big Sea turned its neck, but nothing was in sight. Suddenly, it remembered that Gao Peng was in its body and grew displeased again.

Gao Peng coughed and apologized, "Sorry. I won't do it again."

Fatty Big Sea's perspective was different from that of the other monsters that Gao Peng had merged with. The real difference was that the energy in his body was as vast and boundless as the ocean, and he could feel the presence of the Sea King Devouring Teeth embedded in his mouth. He had the impression that anything in the world could be broken from his bite.

"Your vision is different from other familiars." Gao Peng was a little curious. "I can see a lot of vague chains in your sight. Do you need glasses?"

"Those are the Chains of Rule!" Fatty Big Sea roared. "You're the one who needs glasses."

"Rules are everywhere. If elements exist among all things in the world, then rules are the framework of those elements; rules exist in all things in the world." Fatty Big Sea seemed a little proud. "These rules are invisible to ordinary monsters."

But Gao Peng didn't reply. After a while, Fatty Big Sea, chattering to itself, felt that it was unenjoyable. The worst thing in the world was when one was showing off but no one was looking…

Fatty Big Sea relied on its familiarity with the labyrinth and soon found the depths. The surroundings became extreme and harsh. Lightning struck from time to time in the void. The walls, which were composed of lightning, were thundering too. Fatty Big Sea was akin to a beautiful ballet dancer; it was dancing around danger and avoiding the lightning net skillfully.

When Gao Peng saw its skillful movements, he felt a little sorry for Fatty Big Sea.

"This is the Lightning Labyrinth. Only in the vicinity near the core area of the Endless Reincarnation Labyrinth can there be a Lightning Labyrinth," Fatty Big Sea said to Gao Peng after passing through the lightning web.

The environment was dangerous. Even Fatty Big Sea didn't dare to say it wasn't dangerous.

After all, it was a divine artifact, and that divine artifact wasn't as quiet as the Sea King Devouring Teeth. Even without its master, it could still operate on its own for a few years. The heart of the divine artifact was its rules. Rules could be continuously strengthened or maintained by absorbing the power of the rules between heaven and earth.

After passing through the Lightning Labyrinth, there was a gloomy passageway. The walls on both sides of the corridor were jet-black. The dark passageway seemed to be covered with ink; it was complete darkness at a glance.

"This area is called the Dark Labyrinth. It's completely enveloped in Dark Power, and there are many Dark Trap Kill Whirlpools hidden in the dark. Because we can't use our eyesight, we can only pass through this area intuitively, by drawing a conclusion on the basis of partial understanding. We can pass through this area with brute force," Fatty Big Sea said solemnly. "But it's important to note that the Dark Trap Kill Whirlpools are a fatal threat to Quasi Gods. Only the monsters in the Quasi God tier with the strongest defensive abilities can endure the attacks on their physical bodies and pass through the Dark Trap Kill Whirlpools with brute force."

"Did you pass through this area with brute force in the past?" Gao Peng asked.

"Yes, the Dark Labyrinth was my favorite area in the past, because I could go through it directly with my physical body… This time, I can give it a try. Right now, the Endless Reincarnation Labyrinth has no one in control, so all the traps have weakened more than a level. Maybe I can try to pass through with brute force." Fatty Big Sea exhaled.

Gao Peng stopped merging their consciousness. "Maybe I have a better way," Gao Peng said. He summoned Second Baby with a snap of his fingers.

"Why did you summon it?" Fatty Big Sea knew that Gao Peng had other familiars, but besides Dumby and Da Zi, which had attracted its attention because of their Mythical grade, other familiars didn't earn much of its attention. It only knew that the Dragon Ant called Second Baby had very good vision, but the black fog in the Dark Labyrinth wasn't simple.

Second Baby heard Gao Peng's instructions and looked forward to the dense darkness ahead. Its silvery-white eyes emitted sheer white light. Outside the thin glittering and translucent eye membrane were numerous dazzling crystals.

"This is…" Fatty Big Sea was stunned. That ability was familiar.

"This is the Diurnal Pupil from the Giant Dragon Clan," Gao Peng said.

Fatty Big Sea had a sudden realization. "I remember that when the God of Fog was killed, an ancient Giant Dragon played an important role with its use of the Diurnal Pupil. The God of Fog's attacks diminished at least seven-folds when the Diurnal Pupil was used.

"Since it's that ability, we'll be fine going through the Dark Labyrinth with it." Fatty Big Sea was at ease.

Gao Peng put Fatty Big Sea into the familiar space and then merged with Second Baby. The thick black fog in front of Second Baby's Diurnal Pupil became very thin; at least they wouldn't have a problem seeing.

It was easy to navigate out of the Dark Labyrinth. Beyond that part, a pyramid-like building appeared ahead.

The top of the pyramid-like building was flat, with a black coffin placed on top. The coffin was 30 feet tall and 65 feet long, extremely thick and heavy. There were several blood-colored patterns on the surface of the coffin. It looked desolate and primitive.

When Gao Peng saw the coffin, it was like looking at a living god who was also watching him; there was a tingling pain between his brows.

"Hahaha, you're finally dead. You fought with me for so many years, but in the end, you're in a coffin!" Fatty Big Sea roared with laughter.

Thud! A loud noise was heard from the coffin, and the closed lid suddenly vibrated, moving to the side. It revealed a small gap. The gloomy and dense Air of Death condensed into frost and permeated out from the gap. The coffin was instantly frozen by the Air of Death, engulfing the pyramid altar below it.

Fatty Big Sea's laughter stopped abruptly.

Chapter 599: The Endless Reincarnation Labyrinth

The elephant trunk of the head of the Fat Golem Lord was burned with a dark red flame. The flame burned crazily and the length of the elephant trunk expanded suddenly. It wasn't a big problem for the elephant trunk to be bitten, because its trunk could be expanded indefinitely… as long as the elephant trunk wasn't completely broken, it could grow and lengthen continuously.

The elephant trunk lashed on the body of Fatty Big Sea, the dark red flames burned on the light blue scales and unexpectedly produced a series of splattering noise.

When a whip was drawn out, the scales of Fatty Big Sea were left with a burning mark of the dark flame.

"Da*nm, what kind of fire is this? Why am I so uncomfortable right now?" Fatty Big Sea scolded under his breath.

Gao Peng's expression was odd. If he wasn't wrong, the flame was taken from Dumby's body, and was used by the Fat Golem Lord to deal with Fatty Big Sea.

The dark flame didn't look that powerful in the past, but when used onto Fatty Big Sea, it had achieved a marvelous effect.

Gao Peng's gaze was flickering, that dark flame didn't achieve such an obvious result when used against other Monsters, was it because that the Fat Golem Lord was using and that Fat Golem Lord enhanced the power of the attack?

The Fat Golem Lord took in a deep breathe, its elephant truck swung up high and the muscles on the truck was exploding with senses.

Bang!

The elephant truck bolted and tore the air, the massive dark flames covered the sky and its vitality and energy was formidable.

"Are you that weak, stop watching the fight!" Fatty Big Sea roared.

Fatty Big Sea took in another deep breath, its body expanded further, it was akin to a devilish abyss which was engulfing the sky, there was a black hole among the dark light.

The two formidable attacks were clashing and crushing against each other in the center of the labyrinth.

Dumby took a step lightly and its body was as light as a feather, it moved in a zig-zag movement to avoid the attack from the elephant trunk. It stepped on its left leg on the ground and inched closer and closer to the Fat Golem Lord.

In that moment, the distance between the two parties was less than several meters apart. Gao Peng who was within Dumby's body after the merge could sense the intense bloody scent in the air. He could even see the countless holes and dark colored livor mortis on the skin of the Fat Golem Lord.

Dumby's five fingers broadened all of a sudden, the intense Yin energy condensed on the tip of its finger. Its fingers clawed onto the skin of the Fat Golem Lord were akin to grabbing onto several thick rubber sheets.

The Yin energy crashed onto its hard and thick skin and was destroyed by Fat Golem Lord's tyrannical presence of God's blood.

Dumby had an idea, he stopped pouring Yin energy into its hands, but it instantly turned its hand into a dark red burning flame.

Dumby's Dark Flame Manipulative had already reached Level 6. A part of it had been temporarily absorbed by the Fat Golem Lord. The remaining level of flame was still higher than the absorbed.

It slammed its palm onto its opponent. When the dark flame came into contact with the god's skin, a terrible blast erupted all of a sudden.

The godly skin let out a shriek as if something had exploded.

The dark flame was howling crazily, and the air reverberated with violent winds.

"Ah!"

Bam!

Dumby's left arm defended against the elephant truck that had launched its attack all of a sudden.

Dumby felt that its body was grabbed and tightened by something; the elephant truck had rolled Dumby away with its truck.

Ta-ta-ta! The sound of the collision of bones was heard then and there. Bang!

The elephant truck loosened up as Fatty Big Sea crashed on it at the right moment.

Both parties retreated and took two steps back. Dumby shook its neck and saw the area which it attacked with its dark flame had turned black; it had left an obvious black colored white skeleton handprint.

"This dark flame had an additive reaction to the Divine living creature!" Gao Peng had finally realized it but he didn't though of that in the past.

But it wasn't a good idea to continue the battle; they shouldn't linger around any longer. That was the enemy's territory.

"Roar!"

At the back of the labyrinth, there was a continuous roaring sound.

The sound of violent footsteps was thundering, and a large number of Monsters living in the labyrinth were approaching.

"Gao Peng, ask Dumby to restrain him, I'll give him a fatal blow." Fatty Big Sea communicated with Gao Peng through Blood Contract.

"All right."

Dumby took in a deep breath and crossed its limps and raised it high up.

"Bone Restrain Death Prison!"

Bam, bam, bam. The surface of the ground erupted, and there were several thick white sharp bones shooting up the sky; the snowy-white bone spurs were radiating a bloody red glow.

It was as if the ground had blossomed with several hell's flower made from bones of the dead. The angles of the white bone spurs had trapped the Fat Golem Lord.

It was because the seal of the Fat Golem Lord was well done – it didn't give the Fat Golem Lord any space to move or launched its attack – he was trapped and unable to escape from it in a short moment.

Although the white bone prison couldn't trap the Fat Golem Lord for long, but it was enough time for Fatty Big Sea.

The heart inside Fatty Big Sea was fiercely contracting and beating, a massive quantity of blood surged, went against the usual flow and sprayed onto its Sea King Devouring Teeth.

After the absorption of its blood, the Sea King Devouring Teeth was radiating with a blue glow.

Fatty Big Sea quickly opened its mouth and its Sea King Devouring Teeth flew out immediately.

The Sea King Devouring Teeth which had flew out radiated a dazzling brilliance in an instant, and then the brilliance was sucked within and a black hole emerged.

There was a rumbling sound coming from the black hole, it sounded like a machine churning onto raw meat.

The muddled eyes of the Fat Golem Lord revealed a tinge of glow.

Its mouth which had blood stained all over was opened and the thick and strong hair on it was jumping in excitement.

"Sea King Devouring…"

The black hole from the Sea King Devouring Teeth had crashed onto him.

At the moment when it was crashed onto the Fat Golem Lord, the entire labyrinth was violently trembling.

A layer of the golden and half translucent frame from the wall fell off and the entire labyrinth titled to a side.

Those golden frames of the labyrinth fell and interweaved and at last it was transformed into a golden miniature labyrinth.

The monstrous sound which was heard previously had become farther and farther away…

The world was muted.

All was left was the black hole which was crashed onto the head, and the mini golden labyrinth under their feet was rising.

It had detected that their master was facing a fatal threat, and the Endless Reincarnation Labyrinth activated its inherent ability to protect its master.

That was the true form of the Endless Reincarnation Labyrinth.

Gao Peng's eyes sparkled.

The Endless Reincarnation Labyrinth broke off from the massive and heavy external appearance in the form of the labyrinth.

At the moment from its separation, the wall of the labyrinth and various regions were transforming.

It was like a bottle with lots of compartments containing different kinds of liquids, but at that moment the bottle suddenly shifted and different kinds of liquids inside were all mixed together and exposed in the air.

The powers from different regions of the labyrinth were akin to the different kinds of liquids in the bottle.

The black hole of the Sea King Devouring Teeth had fallen, the scalp of Fat Golem Lord had been crushed; fresh blood, scalp and muscle had been crushed and swallowed, and then turned into the power of the Sea King Devouring Teeth.

Looking from afar, it looked like a black sun had gradually crashed onto him.

Bang!!!

The downward momentum of the black sun was stopped, and there was a golden barrier which looked like a shield underneath and was withholding the black sun.

The Fat Golem Lord's head was bitten off, he looked like a bald man; a huge piece of the top of his head was bitten off.

But that scene wasn't funny at all. When he sensed of the fatal threat, the Fat Golem Lord's eyes turned red and a blazing divine flame bolted up the sky.

"Die, die, die, all of you have to die!!!"

The Sea King Devouring Teeth which had flew out radiated a dazzling brilliance in an instant, and then the brilliance was sucked within and a black hole emerged.

There was a rumbling sound coming from the black hole, it sounded like a machine churning onto raw meat.

The muddled eyes of the Fat Golem Lord revealed a tinge of glow.

Its mouth which had blood stained all over was opened and the thick and strong hair on it was jumping in excitement.

"Sea King Devouring…"

The black hole from the Sea King Devouring Teeth had crashed onto him.

At the moment when it was crashed onto the Fat Golem Lord, the entire labyrinth was violently trembling.

A layer of the golden and half translucent frame from the wall fell off and the entire labyrinth titled to a side.

Those golden frames of the labyrinth fell and interweaved and at last it was transformed into a golden miniature labyrinth.

The monstrous sound which was heard previously had become farther and farther away…

The world was muted.

All was left was the black hole which was crashed onto the head, and the mini golden labyrinth under their feet was rising.

It had detected that their master was facing a fatal threat, and the Endless Reincarnation Labyrinth activated its inherent ability to protect its master.

That was the true form of the Endless Reincarnation Labyrinth.

Gao Peng's eyes sparkled.

The Endless Reincarnation Labyrinth broke off from the massive and heavy external appearance in the form of the labyrinth.

At the moment from its separation, the wall of the labyrinth and various regions were transforming.

It was like a bottle with lots of compartments containing different kinds of liquids, but at that moment the bottle suddenly shifted and different kinds of liquids inside were all mixed together and exposed in the air.

The powers from different regions of the labyrinth were akin to the different kinds of liquids in the bottle.

The black hole of the Sea King Devouring Teeth had fallen, the scalp of Fat Golem Lord had been crushed; fresh blood, scalp and muscle had been crushed and swallowed, and then turned into the power of the Sea King Devouring Teeth.

Looking from afar, it looked like a black sun had gradually crashed onto him.

Bang!!!

The downward momentum of the black sun was stopped, and there was a golden barrier which looked like a shield underneath and was withholding the black sun.

The Fat Golem Lord's head was bitten off, he looked like a bald man; a huge piece of the top of his head was bitten off.

But that scene wasn't funny at all. When he sensed of the fatal threat, the Fat Golem Lord's eyes turned red and a blazing divine flame bolted up the sky.

"Die, die, die, all of you have to die!!!"

Chapter 600: Sea…Monkey

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

It was akin to a furious ocean, the sky with the golden divine brilliance was exploded with a horrible divine thunderstorm.

The head of the Fat Golem Lord turned in mid-air and its gaze was fixated on Dumby.

No…

It's looking at me.

Through Dumby's eyes, Gao Peng and the Fat Golem Lord were looking at each other. Gao Peng had a sixth sense that Fat Golem Lord must be looking at him.

"Ah~" Within the insides of the Fat Golem Lord, its black divine blood was vigorously trembling, and several wisps of golden ray of the black colored divine blood shot out.

In that moment, its monstrous and animosity aura continued to rise upward, the vanity space was warped, the boiling divine blood was blooming a horrible temperature like a furnace.

The Fat Golem Lord opened its mouth, when the lips cracked open, on the left and right sides of the lips there were two distinctive white cross-sections; Gao Peng was staring at it.

That was the broken elephant ivory.

Elephant ivory was the most important weapon of elephants; it could arch like a knife and long like a spear!

Black blood continued to flow from the wound, and extended to the elephant ivory.

The elephant ivory erupted layers of echoes like the Hongzhong Dalu, and the black blood was so sticky and it had transformed into a spider-web shaped and linked up with the broken elephant ivory.

"This is the elephant ivory made from divine blood, not the actual elephant ivory, Dumby, you've to be careful." Gao Peng was clear about the situation, if it was the Fat Golem Lord's actual elephant ivory, he was afraid that the lethality and stiffness wouldn't be lower than some divine artifacts.

But the elephant ivory made from divine blood was already giving him a lot of pressure.

"Master, rest assured."

Dumby was expressionless; it didn't retreat backward but chose to go head-on with its opponent. Its right foot stamped heavily on the ground, the oppressive footsteps shocked the hearts of many.

From the Heart of the Yin Soul inside its chest, there was a massive number of gray-white fogs floated out and shrouded Dumby and the surrounding; Dumby's body was completely hidden in the thick fog.

The space was twisted and contorted, the space behind Dumby was sunk in complete chaos, and something terrible was brewing.

Bam!

The Fat Golem Lord's eyes were covered with blood, and the broken elephant ivory grew again.

The newly grown elephant ivory was dark, as if it was composed of cobwebs, the inside was hollow, but on the whole, the complete structure could be seen, the tip of the elephant ivory was a pure black, the original black blood was burned into black and red colored from the high temperature; there was an intense bloody scent pervading in the air.

"Die, die, die!" The Fat Golem Lord hissed, it set off a strong Evil Wind and crashed into Dumby.

The two elephant ivory burst out of the monstrous divine flame, even if there was a mountain in front of it, it would be easily crushed.

There was also a wild roar like a wild beast coming from Dumby's throat

Its arm spread apart, and there was an extremely thick and dark shadow at the back which instantly shrouded the sky.

Red-faced and white bones, black flame covered the sky, its shoulders had hideous thorns, its arms were over the knee, and its magic wings covered the daylight; it was the White Skeleton Demon God Apparition!

There was a loud roar. And the energy and blood transformed into a long river, the White Skeleton Demon God Apparition snarled at the sky and turned into a cloud of black shadow and merged into Dumby's body.

The power in Dumby's body was raging and chaotic, Gao Peng clearly felt the power of death which was originally relatively calm in Dumby's body was suddenly chaotic and riotous, Dumby's soul was also stimulated and it had become more murderous.

It took a step forward, a thick layer of gray mist flowed on the hands of Dumby, its Soul Power was transformed into something substantial and covered above the hands of Dumby.

Originally, Dumby needed to switch to the Yin Soul Dominator to better use the power its Soul Power, but at that moment Dumby didn't convert to the Yin Soul Dominator but it could exert the power of the two systems at the same time.

A dark shadow flashed passed, Dumby was hit by that huge force and retreated more than ten steps, its palms were tightly holding onto the elephant ivory, the power of the soul and the divine blood of the elephant ivory had a violent reaction; there was a massive amount of scalding white steam.

Dumby's bones on the arm were trembling wildly, and the thick black mist enveloped its body, there was only a pair of scarlet eyes which was able to pierce through the darkness.

Bam!

Dumby continued take a few steps backwards, even if it gave its all in the attack, its strength as compared to the Fat Golem Lord was still different by a huge gap.

As Dumby went backwards step by step, the forces in its body become increasingly violent.

The gaze of the Fat Golem Lord revealed a tinge of arrogance and its madness and greed.

It smelled the fragrance on the skeleton.

It was going to devour it, eat it!

After eating it, some of its injuries could recover and it could even get other benefits.

The body of Fatty Big Sea turned smaller; it transformed into a dark shadow and bolted to the head of Fat Golem Lord.

The Fat Golem Lord was alert, its elephant nose swept, the evil wind was whistling, it was accompanied with the sound of the wind tearing.

Fatty Big Sea sneered, "Stole my wind to attack against me? You're still so innocent and lovely, I thought you've become smart when you're only left with the brain, I didn't expect you to become more stupid."

The body of Fatty Big Sea turned and it was so flexible unlike its enormous size.

It was responsive as it avoided the evil wind, the evil wind which struck head-on towards of Fatty Big Sea didn't blow it away, but it enabled Fatty Big Sea to float down with the gust of wind; Fatty Big Sea was like a leaf which whirled along the gust and flew towards the elephant truck.

Fatty Big Sea landed steadily on the head of the Fat Golem Lord, Fatty Big Sea stared at head of the Fat Golem Lord which was cracked opened into a big hole and laughed.

"Even the heaven is helping me."

The body of Fatty Big Sea expanded instantly and it flew towards the head of the Fat Golem Lord.

The head of the Fat Golem Lord was highly alert and cautious, and there came a gust of devilish cold spell.

The Fat Golem Lord's mouth expressed all forms of extreme roar, the hole of the Fat Golem Lord's head was billowing with smoke, as if it was a hot pot; the scarlet blood hole was fuming with smoke.

"No!"

When the Fat Golem Lord was roaring, Fatty Big Sea jumped and flipped over to it.

The moment when it penetrated the hole above the head, there was a flash of a faint golden film, but in a flash it was pierced by Fatty Big Sea.

With the wild laughter of Fatty Big Sea, the Fat Golem Lord suddenly stiffened and stopped moving.

Dumby roared with its deep voice, it took a step forwards and flipped the Fat Golem Lord up. The Fat Golem Lord was overturned and its huge body was held up by Dumby and threw onto the ground with a loud thud.

The earth trembled wildly, and there was an explosion of cracks on the ground.

The head of the Fat Golem Lord was much harder than a diamond, and the divine head smashed on the ground in an instant was akin to an overturn of the heaven and earth.

In the mind of the Fat Golem Lord, Fatty Big Sea had become an agile fish which was swimming in its brain.

Inside the mind of the Fat Golem Lord was a blurry illusion, a large number of golden divine material were floating all around.

But those divine substances were at the moment were in the preparatory state, the color was gray; it was powerlessly floating within the mind.

There were different forms of illusions all over the place.

On top of the cold plain, an Ancient Wild Elephant was running on the plains, it elephant truck raised high up, it was cheerful and lively.

In the distance a tall white giant wolf kept coming close and was besieging at a terrible speed, and the Ancient Wild Elephants were falling onto the ground one by one around it.

Fresh blood dyed its body red, the body of the Ancient Wild Elephant had grew larger, it had a hideous and ferocious look, its sharp teeth was like two saw tooth and it was tearing the group of monsters apart.

Above the deep sea, the Ancient Wild Elephant stood up on two legs like a human; it held its weapon tightly in its hand and strived to conquer the entire world.

"It's this guy's life…" Fatty Big Sea was in a daze for a moment, and then it quietly wandered through the Fat Golem Lord's mind
