“Not good, it’s a twelfth rank Magical Beast! Quick, activate the formation!” shouted a Life Star expert of the original devil race. When a powerful twelfth rank Magical Beasts appeared, the disciples would lead them here and kill them with the formations.
“No need. Using your formation will waste more spirit crystals than that Magical Beast is worth.” Xia Chen shook his head.
Guo Ran had summoned his golden armor. Transforming into a golden shooting star, he shot toward the Magical Beast
“A little twelfth rank Magical Beast also dares to get arrogant?”
Guo Ran unleashed a giant saber-image at the Magical Beast.
There were seven disciples of the original devil race fleeing. They were originally ten, but three of them had been slain by that Magical Beast.
The Magical Beast was a white rhinoceros, and it was like a galloping mountain. The ground rumbled and ruptured because of it.
Guo Ran’s saber ruthlessly slashed into its head. A powerful shockwave spread, and the rhinoceros was sent flipping through the air.
However, Guo Ran also suffered. He was knocked back into the distance.
The rhinoceros let out a furious roar. Its horn suddenly lit up, and a white light shot at Guo Ran.
“Guo Ran’s about to suffer.” Long Chen’s lips curled as he watched Guo Ran go all-out to block.
The white light passed straight through Guo Ran. A layer of white rock had covered him as he had been turned to stone. He was still in his defensive posture.
After landing this attack, the rhinoceros charged toward Guo Ran to smash him apart.
However, a flash of sword-light swept through its neck. Its head went flying, and blood soaked the earth.
Yue Zifeng slowly sheathed his sword. After advancing to the Life Star realm, his attacks were even sharper and faster. He could one-shot a twelfth rank Magical Beast.
Cracking sounds rang out. Guo Ran was still floating in the air as if he had been fixed there. His statue was shaking, and faint cracks spread along it. Eventually, the layer of stone on him blew apart.
“What happened?” asked Guo Ran in confusion.
“You don’t feel shame asking? That white rhinoceros was a Full Moon Stone Rhinoceros, and its divine ability is able to transform its enemies to stone. Even if you didn’t recognize it, how could you not sense those spatial fluctuations? You just took its petrification ray head-on. If you were alone, you would have been smashed apart,” scolded Long Chen.
“Sorry boss, I got a bit arrogant.” Guo Ran was ashamed. After advancing to the Life Star realm, he felt twelfth rank Magical Beasts to be beneath him, and he thought that he could crush it with pure power.
Although Long Chen usually didn’t bother with everyone’s fighting styles, he was very strict with their battle attitude. They could not get careless. That could be a fatal mistake, so Guo Ran hastily admitted his mistake.
Long Chen snorted and didn’t say anything else. Such a low level mistake was truly a bit infuriating, but he couldn’t criticize Guo Ran too harshly. He reached out and tossed the white rhinoceros’s corpse into the primal chaos space.
The black soil devoured the corpse, unleashing plentiful life energy that nourished the withered World Trees.
However, a single twelfth rank Magical Beast’s corpse wasn’t enough to cause too much of a change.
The seven disciples immediately thanked Long Chen and the others upon being saved. Yue Xiaoqian asked them how they had encountered a twelfth rank Magical Beast. It had to be known that it had been a long time since they had seen a twelfth rank Magical Beast in this region.
There had been twelfth rank Magical Beasts before, but they had been slain by the Elders of the formations. Now that twelfth rank Magical Beasts weren’t seen very often, the original devil race had begun spreading and exploring more of this world.
“Reporting to the sacred daughter, we met with a sudden attack twenty-one thousand miles southwest of the seventh transportation formation,” answered one of the disciples.
The original devil race had set this place as a base as they explored further. In the relatively safer places, they had established some small transportation formations. That saved them quite a bit of time.
Using the channel as the base, they searched further and further. This squad of disciples had been searching unknown territory beyond the seventh transportation formation.
“Let’s go take a look.”
Long Chen and the others stepped onto the transportation formation. However, it wasn’t a large formation, so it could only fit five hundred of them at once. They would have to go in batches.
The formation runes lit up, and Long Chen found himself standing atop a mountain. This transportation formation was situated in a mountain range.
Once they were there, Cloud transformed into her true form and brought them flying away.
As soon as Cloud started flying, they were unable to see anything clearly. Cloud was too fast, and their vision was unable to track anything. They could only use their divine sense.
Having advanced to the eleventh rank, Cloud had grown larger, and her body now emitted a primordial aura. This advancement had greatly increased her power.
Before this, she had only been able to refine a portion of the Blue Eye Peacock’s essence blood. The majority of it had been sealed and stored inside her body. After advancing, she had managed to refine and absorb that stored energy.
In the blink of an eye, Cloud appeared at the location that had been specified. Here there was a lake.
Cloud returned to human form. Yue Xiaoqian looked at the marks on the ground and said, “This is definitely where they encountered the Magical Beast.
“This lake’s fluctuations are a bit strange. Let’s go take a look,” said Long Chen. They had just approached the lake when the earth split open. A ferocious mouth flew up at them.
However, that mouth had just opened when Liu Ruyan waved her hand. Branches shot out, binding the mouth tight.
“What a big serpent!” exclaimed Guo Ran. This serpent had some strange bark-like patterns on its head. Half its body was still hidden in the ground.
“Get out here!” Liu Ruyan pulled and the earth shuddered. The ground split open, and a giant Magical Beast was pulled out.
“What is this thing?!”
Startled cries rang out. Originally they had thought that it was a serpent, but it was actually a giant tortoise with a snake-like head.
Suddenly, its shell lit up, and rays of divine light shot out like heavenly swords. Their hair stood on end.
Long Chen shot into action, smashing the giant shell with his fist. The shell was blown apart, and the rays of light crumbled.
This strange tortoise actually died from having its shell broken. Long Chen tossed it into the primal chaos space.
This tortoise wasn’t that far from where the white rhinoceros had been. For two twelfth rank Magical Beasts to be so close to each other was definitely not ordinary.
This made Long Chen think of the circular mountain range in the Yin Yang World where many Magical Beasts had gathered. Little Snow was currently being nourished in the egg at the center of that mountain range.
“This might be a land of treasures. Everyone, be careful. Guo Ran, you lead the way,” said Long Chen.
Guo Ran jumped, thinking that he was being punished. “Boss, I was wrong…”
“Stop messing around. You’re the one with the best luck, so if you lead, we should find the treasures faster,” interrupted Long Chen.
If Long Chen was the one leading the way, they would definitely run into trouble. Hearing that he was taking the lead because of his luck, Guo Ran immediately swaggered to the front.
Surprisingly or unsurprisingly, Guo Ran didn’t encounter any problems. They bypassed a twelfth rank Magical Beast and it didn’t attack them. It seemed to be slumbering.
Long Chen was speechless. The existence known as luck was truly difficult to explain, but Guo Ran was leading them through a peaceful path.
They quickly arrived at the edge of the lake. Yue Xiaoqian bent down and touched the water with her hand. After sensing it for a moment, she said, “This water really is strange. There are some fluctuations of divine energy. It’s very gentle and can be directly absorbed by the body. However, I don’t know why this is the case.”
Even the erudite Yue Xiaoqian wasn’t sure of what was going on. Long Chen scooped out a bit of the water and sniffed it. He then tasted it.
“This water contains a kind of mineral. If it is consumed over a long time, it can strengthen the bones and flesh. However, there are too many impurities, and it is not suitable for human bodies. It seems these twelfth rank Magical Beasts are here because of the water. Maybe the reason why they were able to advance to the twelfth rank is because of this water. So these surrounding Magical Beasts aren’t here to attack the Skyscraping World. They’re defending their own territories around this lake. What we should do is investigate this lake’s secrets. After all, this water is useless to us,” said Long Chen. He turned to Guo Ran.
“Boss, just tell me what you need and I’ll do it! I won’t shirk from a mountain of blades or a path of flames!” guaranteed Guo Ran.
“Alright then. Put on your armor.”
Immediately, Guo Ran regretted his words. He had a bad feeling, but he had said his big words.
Guo Ran had only just put on his armor when Long Chen kicked him in the butt, sending him flying out.
Like a skipping stone, Guo Ran bounced across the lake, eventually plummeting into the water.
“Long Chen, what are you doing?!” Meng Qi and the others cried out in shock.
“It’s fine. I’m just testing his luck. If his luck is really good, just this kick of mine should settle things,” said Long Chen with a chortle.
Suddenly, a golden light flew out, and Guo Ran was now holding a golden rock. He excitedly cried out, “Boss, I found the treasure!”
Everyone became petrified. So even this method could work?
