Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Bounty Mission

As Zixin flew at full speed, not once did he come across a living creature. The demons were like a locust swarm that devoured everything in sight. Now he was worried that the Battle Beast he was looking for would also be eaten.

...

"I didn’t grant you an audience just for you to keep quiet. Speak, why have you come to see me."

Inside a large hall with marble floor and very high golden walls, an old man wearing a simple gown sat on his throne and was looking at the kneeling figure with annoyance. The kneeling figure was a middle aged man wearing dragon scaled armour and also had branch-like horns on his head.

"Venerable Tai, I want to go on a trip to deal with a small matter. Please grant me this request." said the man with the dragon armour.

"Why?" asked the old man.

"There’s been a bounty mission sent through my Dragon Bloodline. It’s a mission to deal with a minor figure who’s entered the bad side of the Dragon Clan. The planet he’s in is in the territory of Venerable Shu. If you could talk to her then..."

"I see. Let me ask you just one question, is the reward worth it?"

"Definitely! It’s definitely worth it! After I kill the Demon, I’ll receive the chance to enter the Dragon Pool to purify my blood, then the Dragon King will give me the status of a Royal Dragon. Also, the Dragon King will also lecture me on the Dao for a day. This opportunity can be given to others and I’ll also receive the opportunity to cultivate in a Holy Land for three days. Not to mention the treasures, I’ll receive ten Venerable Treasures of my choosing..."

"What?! Are you sure?! So many rewards for a single demon in a Small World?! I’ll go with you and help you take care of this demon! Don’t worry about Venerable Shu, I’ll help you deal with her. Let’s go right now!"

Venerable Tai was a being who lived in a Medium World and was the strongest being in that world. The Medium World acted like a beacon that held the order of the Plane/galaxy with its powerful gravitational force. All Small Worlds orbited around it and yes, Venerable Tai was a Galaxy level being, so powerful that it didn’t make sense yet the rewards offered to his right hand tempted even him into taking action.

The order of Worlds went as follows, Small Worlds had a cultivation limit of Mortal Shedding Realm, Medium Worlds had limits of Venerable Realm and Advanced Worlds had a limit of the Divine Emperor Realm. A Plane is the same size as a Galaxy with hundreds of millions or even billions of stars and planets and a Realm was equivalent to a universe with a trillion of galaxies or more galaxies.

For a being who had dominion over an entire galaxy spoke volumes about the value of the rewards offered in exchange for a demon’s head and it wasn’t just this dragon general who’d received this bounty mission but all beings with the Dragon Bloodline so it wasn’t just these who were hunting for the demon but countless beings who were tempted by the rewards.

...

By the time Zixin reached the Sun Kingdom, everything was devoured and even the islands were empty, not even a single Battle Beast remained.

"No. No. No. No! How am I supposed to complete the 4th Volume if there are no Battle Beasts to help me!" said Zixin on the cusp of complete despair.

Without the Battle Beasts needed, Zixin’s strength would stagnate and even if it increased, it would be by a very small margin so he had to obtain those Battle Beasts.

"Let me talk to the Boss, maybe he might help me." said Zixin then flew back to the teleportation formation and activated it."

...

In the Demonic Sect, all the demons had gathered there and only a few days had passed. The Nether Tree had given them a month off but only a few days had passed.

When Zixin reached the sect, he looked for Dong Shilin but Wan Shui welcomed him halfway.

"Master, I’ve obtained something for you. Not just me but Tiger and Fatso too." said Wan Shui enthusiastically. Even though he was now a demon, Wan Shui was still loyal to Zixin.

"Not now Wan Shui, where’s Boss Dong Shilin, I want to talk to him about something important," said Zixin.

"Master, is it about this?" asked Wan Shui and took out different piles of shit from his storage ring.

"Three Horned Rhino, Armoured Pangolin, Armament Armadillo and Black Tortoise... it’s the dung from the Battle Beast on my list!" Zixin recognised each dung pile with a single smell and was immediately overjoyed.

"Wan Shui, don’t tell me..?"

"Yes, we managed to gather all the shi... ehem, we gathered the dung from all the Battle Beasts on that list of yours. Some beasts were hiding in pocket spaces but we managed to locate them by following the stronger demons. Currently, it’s only us (Demons) in this Small World, no one else." explained Wan Shui.

"I see, quickly, take me to Tiger and Fatso, I want to see the dung with my own eyes! Let’s go!"

...

Wan Shui led him to Tiger and Fatso whose strengths had drastically improved, both of them were now Rank Two Demons (Core Condensing) and could face more than one opponent of the same level. The two didn’t waste Zixin’s time and directly took out the shit collected from the dead beasts and gave it to Zixin.

Collecting shit was much easier than fighting the beasts themselves but they did miss out on delicious meat from these beasts.

"You three have worked hard! You didn’t disappoint me and I won’t mistreat you. Follow me, I’ve found a powerful backer!" said Zixin and flew away to where Dong Shilin was located and it was under the Nether Tree where his throne was located.
