Chapter 2709 Complete Counter! Reverse Hunt! (Part 2)

"Hmm..."

This also caused Ocello to be momentarily surprised, and at the same time he felt it too. The aura of the Divine Beast Spirit, almost connected to him in soul, changed obviously, displaying a clear emotional fluctuation, and the main emotion was... fear?

Even the Divine Beast Spirit displayed fear?

Could it be... what he said was true?

Ocello's expression completely changed, not caring about Qin Fang who was nearby, he quickly turned his head to look behind him...

Eyes!

A pair of enormous eyes appeared in his field of vision... less than a meter or two away, staring directly at him, obstructing all of Ocello's sight.

Because it blocked his view, he couldn't see the entirety of this being... but just this pair of eyes already caused even a Supreme Realm powerhouse like Ocello to feel a clear fear.

However, at this moment, the owner of those giant eyes also slowly retreated, allowing Ocello to gradually see its full appearance.

"Dragon?"

Ocello gazed at the gigantic creature in front of him with amazement.

Although he was of Western descent, he knew that the dragons in Europe were merely like large winged lizards. The Freemasonry had passed down knowledge for countless years, preserving much valuable information, including records about Saint Beasts and Divine Beasts.

He naturally knew that in the distant Eastern regions, there existed numerous terrifying and mighty beings... Dragons stood at the pinnacle among them, with many being Divine Beasts and even the weaker ones being Saint Beasts.

As for those winged lizards in the Western regions, although some possessed fearsome power, the likelihood of one being a Saint Beast was low; mostly, they reached the level of Spiritual Beast Kings or Demon Beasts, unable to compare with true Divine Dragon Beasts.

And the creature before him... unquestionably was an Eastern Divine Dragon, a real Divine Beast!

Why not a Saint Beast?

Even the Divine Beast Spirit connected to him in soul felt fear, almost with a desire to retreat into his body... Ocello could think of no other possibility except a true Divine Beast!

"Is it really a Divine Beast?"

Ocello still found it hard to believe what he saw... he carefully examined this Divine Dragon to confirm it was not merely the Beast Soul of a Divine Beast, but indeed a true, existent Divine Dragon!

"How is this possible?"

Ocello almost instinctively exclaimed.

Divine Beasts simply had no environment to survive on Earth; they had been extinct for countless years. How could one suddenly appear?

Especially with information transmitted from the Divine Beast Spirit, indicating this Divine Beast was still in a juvenile phase, not hatched for long — this was entirely impossible. Earth was incapable of sustaining Divine Beast existence, let alone hatching them.

The survival of a Divine Beast only required minimal conditions... yet the energy required for its hatching was astronomical, unimaginable.

Such an amount of energy could cause an ordinary person to instantly ascend beyond the Supreme Realm, reaching even higher levels, or cause a regular beast to surge to the Saint Beast level!

Clearly, Earth couldn't meet such conditions...

But the fact was right before his eyes!

"What... what do you want?"

Upon seeing this Divine Dragon, though it was still in its juvenile phase and could not unleash power surpassing that of a Supreme Realm powerhouse like himself, Ocello nevertheless lost all courage to battle.

It wasn't Qin Fang he feared; it was the Divine Dragon.

To be precise, it was the Divine Beast Spirit connected to his soul that felt fear...

"Hand over the Divine Beast Spirit..."

Qin Fang spoke decisively.

"That's impossible!"

Ocello firmly rejected, "If you insist, then I will have no choice but to fight to the death..."

Even though the Divine Beast Spirit felt fear and affected Ocello!

But hearing Qin Fang's condition, he knew negotiation was impossible...

He was bound to the Divine Beast Spirit; if he died, it would not suffer much harm. However, if the Divine Beast Spirit encountered trouble, he would be subject to backlash, with a death probability exceeding seventy percent.

The succession of any Temple Envoy relied on the sacrifice of their own life... This was why the number of Temple Envoys remained strictly at twelve, and why every retired envoy vanished entirely.

In other words, if he handed over the Divine Beast Spirit, he would definitely die...

"Oh, really?"

Qin Fang was not anxious... Or rather, from the moment Ocello summoned this Divine Beast Spirit, he was not anxious at all, not caring about Ocello's much greater power.

Undeniably, even without this Divine Beast Spirit, if Qin Fang used all his power, combined with the Human Origin Golden Pill, Puppet person, Little Dragon, and Divine Silkworm, they might not be a match for Ocello, the Supreme Realm powerhouse.

Yet, with this Divine Beast Spirit in play...
