Beast God
Chapter 47: Wang Lian’s Moment of Glory

At this moment, Wang Lian was incredibly excited. She was about to obtain the entire Epang Scripture she had long dreamed of.  

Previously, when Wang Lian was captured by Chen Guan, what she said was not false. However, she did not tell Chen Guan that the Epang Scripture was created for women, and it was useless for men to obtain it.  

Moreover, she had adjusted the order of slaying the Legendary-grade Mystical Spirits. The changes were minor, only moving the last one to the second position. In other words, instead of killing the Shituo King last, she said it should be the second to be slain. This successfully seized the opportunity and turned the entire situation around.  

However, the reason the Shituo King was placed last was not because he was stronger than the Great Black Heaven Demon Statue. On the contrary, the Shituo King’s ability was the weakest among the six Legendary-grade Mystical Spirits.  

He was placed last because the part he guarded was the dual cultivation technique, which was used only at the very end—after Epang Lady had perfected the Epang Scripture and was to dual cultivate with the Ancestral Emperor.  

From a completeness perspective, the dual cultivation technique in the Epang Scripture was an optional part that did not affect the cultivation of the scripture itself.  

Wang Lian took Chen Guan and the others to the Shituo King first. If they failed to find an opportunity and Chen Guan’s group obtained the dual cultivation technique, it didn’t matter. There would be other chances later.  

What she did not expect was how smoothly things went. Upon arrival, they encountered the Horde of Shituos. Chen Guan fell into a ground fissure, but she managed to escape and even saved Qin Ziyu in the process, causing Qin Ziyu to owe her a life debt and helping her slay the Legendary-grade Mystical Spirits to obtain the Epang Scripture.  

Being surrounded by the Horde of Shituos was something Wang Lian had anticipated long ago because that Evil Buddha Necklace was not designed to counter the Shituo King at all.  

On the contrary, carrying the Evil Buddha Necklace only attracted more Shituos. Wang Lian had already prepared ways to deal with the Horde of Shituos; otherwise, with her strength, how could she have escaped alive from among them and even rescued the exhausted Qin Ziyu?  

Now she had gathered four parts of the Epang Scripture. Only the part guarded by the Great Black Heaven Demon Statue remained before she could obtain the complete Epang Scripture. As for the final dual cultivation technique, it was optional to Wang Lian and she had no intention of acquiring it.  

She did not want dual cultivation nor rely on a man. She only wished to walk her own path through her own strength. Otherwise, she would not have teleported here alone.  

“After I perfect the Epang Scripture, I will surely carve out my own world and show those old fools in the Wang family that inheritance is not just for men. Women can do it too, and even better. They haven’t managed to restore the glory of the Wang clan’s descendants for thousands of years, but I will fulfill the Wang family’s age-old wish,” Wang Lian said, her eyes fixed firmly on the Great Black Heaven Demon Statue, each hand clutching a flying dagger, with ox-hair needles hidden between her fingers.  

The legacy left to her by Ji Nanhong was truly excellent. The elite team she painstakingly built allowed Wang Lian to maximize her advantages without having to be distracted by organizing a team.  

Except for killing the Great Black Heaven Demon Statue, which was somewhat difficult, this team helped her kill the other three Legendary-grade Mystical Spirits. Without Ji Nanhong’s elite team, she wouldn’t have been able to achieve so much so quickly.  

“I really have to thank that Ji Nanhong. Her surname is Ji; she should be a descendant of someone in the Celestial Army. It’s fortunate she’s dead, otherwise it would be troublesome. Though Chen Guan, that bastard, got off cheaply by dying so easily,” Wang Lian thought to herself.  

Just then, she suddenly noticed a change in the Great Black Heaven Demon Statue’s body. Black smoke rose from it like ghostly fog materializing from thin air.  

In the midst of the faint ghostly mist, the Great Black Heaven Demon Statue suddenly opened the third eye on its forehead.  

“Now!” Wang Lian fired the flying daggers she was holding almost without hesitation.  

The two flying daggers shot forward like cold lightning, instantly arriving before the Great Black Heaven Demon Statue, but were directly slapped away by its palm.  

However, the two ox-hair needles hidden in the dark bypassed its palm and aimed straight at the half-open third eye.  

Just as the ox-hair needles were about to pierce into the half-closed eye, a small black hand, resembling a baby’s arm, stretched out from the back of the Great Black Heaven Demon Statue’s head. That tiny arm was eerily growing from behind the statue’s skull.  

The small hand grabbed the two ox-hair needles, but a streak of purple-green sword light flashed past the small hand like a meteor and pierced into the statue’s third eye.  

Qin Ziyu no longer had a sword in his hand; his sword was stabbed into the Great Black Heaven Demon Statue’s third eye, with nearly half of the blade embedded inside.  

The Legendary Secret Skill—Supreme Thought—was obtained from one of the three Legendary-grade Mystical Spirits they had killed. Wang Lian did not use it herself but gave it to Qin Ziyu for this very moment.  

As Chen Guan and Ji Nanhong had thought, Wang Lian had given Qin Ziyu almost everything she obtained from the three Legendary-grade Mystical Spirits.  

The Supreme Thought skill was very special. When mastered to the extreme, it allowed the user to control objects with their mind, enabling sword control that could kill like the sword immortals in mythology.  

Of course, Qin Ziyu was not yet capable of that level, but Supreme Thought allowed him to imbue his primordial energy and secret technique abilities onto the sword blade.  

The purple-green sword light formed by the Purple-Green Dual Qi Profound Skill was attached to the sword tip. The sword still functioned even when thrown, and with the aid of Supreme Thought, Qin Ziyu’s sword was thrown so swiftly.  

Wang Lian used flying daggers and needles to attract all the attention of the Great Black Heaven Demon Statue, which allowed Qin Ziyu to seize the moment.  

The pierced third eye caused the Great Black Heaven Demon Statue to let out a silent roar toward the sky. The black smoke on its body instantly dispersed. It reached out, grasped the sword blade, and pulled the sword embedded in its forehead out, then swung it toward Qin Ziyu.  

Qin Ziyu dared not catch it. His movement twisted ghostlike into a strange shape to dodge the sword swung by the statue.  

However, one cultivator behind him was not so lucky. His body was pierced through by the blade, and the sword’s guard shattered his ribcage. His body was flung over the cliff, falling into the sea of clouds and mist. His scream tore through the void.  

“Put in more effort! The Great Black Heaven Demon Statue is done for. This is its last desperate attempt. After we kill it, everyone can leave this hellhole and go home,” Wang Lian said, continuously throwing flying needles toward the statue.  

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes hardened with determination. No one wanted to be trapped in such a place forever, especially the veterans who had been here for a year; they had long wanted to leave this damned place.  

Under the onslaught, the Great Black Heaven Demon Statue initially maintained its invincible state. But as more and more black liquid oozed from its injured third eye, its condition clearly deteriorated. Over time, under the siege, it gradually showed signs of decline.  

“It’s finally going to succeed. Once I obtain the last part of the Epang Scripture on the Great Black Heaven Demon Statue, I will be the only person in this world capable of perfecting the Epang Scripture and will surely be invincible...” Watching the statue grow weaker, Wang Lian grew more and more excited. This was the brightest moment since her birth.  

“I’ll take the final strike...” As the statue was about to collapse, Wang Lian dismissed Qin Ziyu and flew up herself to deliver the last blow.  

Only she knew that she had to personally kill the Great Black Heaven Demon Statue to obtain the final part of the Epang Scripture.
