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

After accepting the mysterious jade plaque that the Sea Demon Eliza was determined to hand over to him, Yang Ling waved his hand and moved all of the Sea Demons into the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, along with the corpses of the Sea Demon King and old witch. He instructed the six-winged Angel Leader Ophilia to give them a proper burial and attempt to resolve the conflict between the Sea Demon Tribe and various other Sea Tribes.

Over this period of time, Ophilia had not only spread the faith of the Great Wizard in the Wizard Pagoda’s Space together with the other Blood Angels, but she had also been looking over the planning and development of the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, turning into the butler of the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. In the eyes of the villagers, she was the holy maiden of the Wizard Sect, the spokesperson for the Great Wizard Yang Ling. She had massive authority.

“Yang Ling, are these the Magical Beasts you summoned?” Looking at Hydra, Dark Dragon King, and the rest of the group who have taken on a human form and were standing beside Yang Ling, the Chief Elven Priest shook her head in disbelief.

Under normal circumstances, a Summoner could only summon one Magical Beast. This was true across the other dimensions, including the Tailun Continent. To think that Yang Ling could summon millions of Magical Beasts. The strength of a few Level Surpassing Magical Beasts who were just one step away from reaching the divine level was frightening enough. She did not expect there to be a Magical Beast with abilities at the peak of Mid-level Deity within his ranks!

Yang Ling was merely a Low-level Deity at this point in time, wouldn’t he be able to summon powerful High-level Divine Beasts when he advanced to become a Mid-level Deity?

Just who was a match for Yang Ling if he was to order tens of thousands of Divine Beasts to attack together?

Powerful, immensely powerful!

Even the God of Sword, Golden Lion, and the rest of the Divine-level Experts were extremely shocked, much less the Chief Elven Priest. He had destroyed Evil Demon Island and completely annihilated the tribe of Sea Demons alone. He had also remained safe despite the pursuit of the Sea Demon King. That was something an average person cannot accomplish! Only the God of Fire Raymond kept a calm expression. He was deep in thought as if he had remembered something.

“Actually… Things are not like what you have imagined!” Yang Ling put on an act and shook his head, then continued, “These creatures have voracious appetites, and I can’t seem to shake them off. They have to consume at least several dozen beef shanks every day, and it’s even worse when they have a great appetite. I am nearly going bankrupt just feeding them, sigh!”

Can’t seem to shake them off?

The group shook their heads, not knowing how to reply to the mischievous Yang Ling. Of course, they were all highly experienced people and did not continue questioning him, seeing that he was unwilling to elaborate further on the topic.

“Brother Yang Ling, even the dozen crystal mines on the Gold Coast is enough to make you rich beyond comparison. If you are still going to say that you are poor, don’t blame me for coming into your territory and robbing you!” The Great Commander of the Dark Cavalries set his spear onto his back, speaking as he patted down on Yang Ling’s shoulder with force.

An ordinary person would become dejected after they had lost an arm, some even becoming depressed. However, the Great Commander of the Dark Cavalries was different. There was no shred of sadness on his optimistic, smiling face.

“That’s right, merely selling the various Magical Pets is enough to make the Magical Beast Territory immensely rich, much richer than us old folks!” Seeing that Yang Ling was complaining of poverty, the Golden Lion Barker shook his head.

According to the information obtained by his family, following the expansion of the Hunter Association, the business of the Magical Pets from the Magical Beast Territory had become more and more prosperous, its scale getting larger and larger. On the Tailun Continent, both single ladies or noblewomen took pride in owning a little Munchlax or a Siberian Snow Rabbit. They would spend a great sum of money to purchase them at the Boulade Merchant Association or the Wissen Merchant Association. Just the profits from this area have made the wealth of the Magical Beast Territory reach an alarming state. They would have no problem affording a few hundred, a few thousand or even tens of thousands of cows every day, much less a few dozens.

“That’s right, Yang Ling, can you sell me a batch of your Magic Hunting Cards. I can pay any price!” The God of Sword wiped off the bloodstains on his sword, speaking as he placed his sword back into the scabbard.

Like the various major factions, despite the Bellimore family having a low profile, they had an extensive source of information. Through their various channels, they had quickly understood how valuable a Magic Hunting Card was. It was not as important to the God of Swords who had abilities of a Mid-level Deity, but they were exceptionally valuable to the descendants in his family who only had abilities reaching the sage level or domain level.

Their abilities would definitely improve drastically if they found a way to seal a giant dragon or a Level Surpassing Magical Beast!

“Brother Yang Ling, I am not asking for much, just a thousand of them. I’ll put it on the tab, for the time being, don’t tell me that you don’t have it!” Under the reminder of the God of Swords, Barbosa quickly remembered that Yang Ling had a treasure like that, directly asking him for a thousand cards. With the Magic Hunting Cards, he would be able to greatly increase the battle capabilities of the Dark Cavalries within a short period of time. It would be even better if he managed to bring over a large batch of Darkflap Warhorses from the Dimension of Death.

A thousand?

Seeing that Barbosa asking for too much, Yang Ling shook his head, “I don’t even have a thousand low-level Pet Cards, much less a thousand Magic Hunting Cards. I can create Pet Cards, but the Magic Hunting Cards are something that I have brought out from my family. Other than the ancient elders from my family, no one knows how to create them! If you guys truly need them, I don’t mind giving each of you one as a gift, but I really do not have any more!”

Magical Beasts were the greatest advantage of the Magical Beast Territory, and Pet Cards, Battle Cards, and Magic Hunting Cards were essential tools to harness this advantage. This was especially so for the Magic Hunting Cards that could seal high-level or even Level Surpassing Magical Beasts. They were the weapons of the core members of the Wizard Sect, something that was not for sale. In order to safeguard the advantage of the Magical Beast Territory, in order to make sure that the Magical Beast Territory still had enough strength to defend themselves after he left the Tailun Continent for other dimensions, Yang Ling would never allow the Magic Hunting Cards to spread out.

“Brother Yang Ling, at least ten cards!”

“Three at most, I don’t have any more! Also, I want ten drops of Dark Crystal Marrow for every card, payment upfront!”

…

After understanding the situation, the God of Swords, Golden Lion, and the rest of the group became very disappointed, embarrassed to ask for a few more cards from Yang Ling. Only the Great Commander of the Dark Association Barbosa was still haggling, hoping to obtain a few more cards. At the very least, he wanted to equip the five generals under him.

“Sir Raymond, this way, please. Sirs, please!” Looking at Barbosa still loudly haggling with Yang Ling, the Chief Elder of the Dark Association shook his head, instructing his guards to seize the time and clean up the battlefield. He then invited Raymond and the rest of the group into the Balark Castle as guests, instructing the servants to bring forward the best wine quickly.

Balark was huge. As the main camp of the Dark Association, the city was extremely prosperous, with a population of over eight million. Majestic dark cathedrals could be seen at every corner. After receiving the news that they had won the battle, the citizens swarmed into the streets and cheered loudly.

Soldiers who have retreated from the frontlines littered every corner, some of them taking large mouthfuls of wine, some raising their blood-stained weapons, some hugging their lovers excitedly as they kissed them in front of everybody else. A gridlock appeared in many areas. Fervent prayers spread out from the solemn, majestic Dark Palace… Everyone was using their own way to celebrate the hard-fought victory!

After sitting down within the castle, the servants soon brought over a scrumptious dinner.

“Thank you for all your help. Otherwise, the Dark Association might have been destroyed once again by the schemes of the Church!” The Great Elder of the Dark Association personally poured a glass of wine for Raymond, the God of Swords, and the rest of the group, thanking them for their assistance at the critical moment.

The High-level Deity Sea Demon King was too powerful, and the three head honchos of the Dark Association were no match for him even if they joined forces. They had been heavily injured by him in an instant!

Fortunately, Yang Ling had launched a surprise attack on Evil Demon Island at the right time and lured the Sea Demon King away. Fortunately, the God of Swords, Chief Elven Priest and the rest of the group had rushed over in time to fend off the strong attacks of the army of the Sea Tribes. Fortunately, the God of Fire Raymond had arrived at the critical moment and killed the Sea Demon King who had used Heavenly Demon Disembodiment. Otherwise, the outcome would have been disastrous!

“To think that the Sea Demon King has further learned the Law of Death, as well as the terrifying Heavenly Demon Disembodiment technique!” The Chief Elven Priest shook her head, her scalp still crawling when she thought about the sudden eruption of battle prowess the Sea Demon King had displayed back then.

“Hmph, what’s the use of being so powerful, you still turn back to a pile of dust after you die!” The Great Commander of the Dark Cavalries Barbosa let out a cold grunt, finishing the wine in his cup. He paused for a moment before continuing, “However, I did not expect that Christina would commit suicide on the spot, willing to be together with the Sea Demon King even if it meant death!”

“That’s right. No one could have expected that she was that determined!” Thinking about the tears of the old witch before she died, the Chief Elven Priest sighed, overcome with emotion.

Love knows no borders, no races. Even a great villain that would commit all forms of evil knows of true love!

“Foloshar was a genius, a genius who had advanced to the divine level after training for not more than a hundred years, a genius who had learned the Laws of Life and Death, two completely different laws. It’s a pity…” Raymond placed his sparkling wine glass onto the table, looking sad and dejected, “It’s a pity that he is like a brother of mine in the past, too stubborn, too insane! Even a powerful fighter who has reached the level of High-level Deity or even higher cannot escape from their destiny!”

“Sir Raymond, can a person be killed even after he advanced to become a Core Deity?” Yang Ling had a thought, suddenly remembering the large bloke in black armor in the underwater castle.

“Yes, of course. Even a powerful Dimensional Guardian or Dimensional Wander can die, much less a Core Deity!” Perhaps he had thought about some event in the past, Raymond became dejected, “There are countless perils of various kinds in the vast dimensions. No one can truly have an undying body unless it is…”

Even the Great Elder of the Dark Association and the Chief Elven Priest were paying close attention, much less, Yang Ling. However, as if he had realized something, Raymond suddenly stopped. He shook his head before taking a mouthful of wine, deliberating for a moment before saying, “Some things you will naturally understand one day. Knowing too much might not necessarily be a good thing. However, there’s something that you will definitely have to face!”

Seeing Yang Ling, the Chief Elven Priest and the rest of the group listening attentively to him, Raymond had a grave expression as he said slowly, “A long time ago, several dimensions possessed tunnels that led toward the Graveyard of Deities and Demons, but for some reason, most of the tunnels had been sealed. Because of this, there was peace in the Graveyard of Deities and Demons for a long time. However, recently, several of these portals have been forcefully unsealed by someone, and countless powerful fighters from different dimensions have swarmed into the Graveyard of Deities and Demons!”

Many of the portals had been forcefully unsealed by someone?

Both the God of Swords and the Golden Lion trembled, understanding what that meant. The three head honchos of the Dark Association looked at each other before letting out a bitter smile. It was as if they had long known about this alarming piece of news! Yang Ling observed the surroundings, immediately thinking about the Great Elder’s sudden request to help him hunt for a large number of Essence Crystals from high-level Magical Beasts, remembering the mysterious Divine Decree of the Dark Emperor he had spoken about.
