Immortal Venerable of the Beast Race
Chapter 1314 - 1318 Both Sides Intend

Chapter 1314: 1318 Both Sides Intend

"Indeed! I had heard of the power of divine beasts, and witnessing it firsthand, it truly lives up to its reputation. Not even a full set of top-grade immortal artifacts could harm it in the slightest."

A tall, thin elder in golden robes expressed his admiration.

Dugu Tai, at the middle stage of Daluo Golden Immortal, hails from the Dugu Immortal Clan in Taiyang Celestial Domain.

In this battle, the Daluo Golden Immortal leaders from nine major forces: Tiangong Sect, Nine Suns Sect, Dugu Immortal Clan, Unparalleled Sword Sect, Li Family Immortal Clan, Zhao Immortal Clan, Xuanqing Observatory, Heavenly Music Palace, and Shangguan Immortal Clan, set out for Kunlun City. Dugu Hao of the Nine Suns Sect was aided by a divine beast.

The enemy unleashed a full set of top-grade immortal artifacts, yet could do nothing against the Divine Beast Shaking Mountain Rhinoceros.

"Taoist Friend Li, if your family had brought the Nine Suns Sparrow, the Evil God Race’s losses would undoubtedly be greater."

A medium-built elder in green robes said with a smile.

Shangguan Teng, at the middle stage of Daluo Golden Immortal, belongs to the Shangguan Immortal Clan in Shennong Immortal Domain.

"The Nine Suns Sparrow was unable to come due to other matters. If our Li Family deployed the Nine Suns Sparrow, I wouldn’t be leading. Moreover, if Madam Shangguan from your Shangguan Family were leading, with her mastery in Dao techniques, the battle results would certainly be greater."

Li Minghong countered.

The Nine Suns Sparrow just crossed a minor heavenly tribulation recently and is recuperating, making participation impossible.

"In the first battle, we achieved considerable results. On behalf of the Zhang Family, I would like to reward those who slew Daluo Golden Immortals. Dugu Hao from Nine Suns Sect can choose three items from the Kunlun City’s Treasure Vault, while others may pick one item."

Zhang Yiming declared.

To make other Daluo Golden Immortals fight with dedication, clear rewards and punishments were necessary.

With such achievements in the first battle, Dugu Hao naturally deserved a generous reward.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Hao, Murong Yin, and others showed joyful expressions, expressing their gratitude.

"Daoist Friend Zhang, could you report the significant achievements of the Taiyi Golden Immortals?"

Lord Qingyuan asked.

Zhang Yihao nodded, bringing out a shimmering Law Disk, then displayed,

"According to the Kind Attribute ranking, the first is Zhang Ruoyao from our Zhang Family, who slew twenty-one Taiyi Golden Immortals. She possesses a divine beast descendant, superior Hongmeng Immortal Artifact, and mastery over Dao techniques and Supreme Laws. Second is Zhang Yunlei from our Zhang Family, who killed twenty Taiyi Golden Immortals. Third is Liyufeng of the Li Family Immortal Clan, owning a divine beast descendant and mastery of Supreme Laws. Fourth is Luo Shuangshuang from the Unparalleled Sword Sect, who slew nineteen Taiyi Golden Immortals, possessing superior Hongmeng Immortal Artifact and proficient in swordsmanship,

Fifth is Yuan Lang, the chief disciple of Daoist Friend Zhao from Xuanqing Observatory, who killed eighteen Taiyi Golden Immortals, mastering the Divine Soul Law. Sixth is Dugu Knife from the Dugu Immortal Clan, who slew seventeen Taiyi Golden Immortals, possessing superior Hongmeng Immortal Artifact. Seventh is Shangguan Hu from the Shangguan Immortal Clan, mastering Dao Technique: Endless Fire Domain, slain fifteen Taiyi Golden Immortals. Eighth is Dongfang Yi from Tiangong Sect, mastering Destruction Law and proficient in Puppetry Technique, slain thirteen Taiyi Golden Immortals. Ninth is Wang Sheng from Nine Suns Sect, mastering Devouring Law, slain twelve Taiyi Golden Immortals. Tenth is Chu Yue from Qingyang Immortal Domain, mastering Causality Law and Dao Technique: Endless Fire Domain, slain eleven Taiyi Golden Immortals."

Zhang Yihao slowly said.

These ten were rising stars of the Human Clan, with outstanding strength.

"Chu Yue from Qingyang Immortal Domain? What is her background?"

Li Minghong questioned with curiosity.

Among the top ten, besides Chu Yue, the other nine came from prominent forces.

"She claims to be a Loose Immortal, her Dao companion is a Dao Pill Master capable of refining Seventh Grade Dao Pills with a high success rate, mastering Time Law."

Zhang Yihao explained.

"A Loose Immortal? I’ve visited Qingyang Immortal Domain and haven’t heard of these two before! Two masters of Supreme Laws from Loose Immortals, also wielding Dao Technique: Endless Fire Domain, it’s impossible for them to remain unknown."

Dugu Hao expressed doubt.

"Humph, are the elites limited to major forces? Loose Immortals have elites too."

Lord Huanghe snorted, showing displeasure.

He too was a Loose Immortal, often looked down upon by major forces.

"The Immortal Realm is vast, and it’s normal for experts to emerge. Achieving such significant results as a Loose Immortal is indeed commendable."

Lord Qingyuan praised.

"Regardless of background, anyone who bravely slays the enemy will be generously rewarded by our Zhang Family. Yihao, find the top fifty from each realm and reward them generously, encouraging others to learn from them."

Zhang Yiming instructed.

"Understood, Ancestor Yiming."

Zhang Yihao agreed wholeheartedly.

"Alright, that’s all for today. Everyone is dismissed. Dugu Daoist Friend, come with me to the Treasure Vault to choose your items."

Zhang Yiming announced the end of the meeting, taking Dugu Hao, Murong Yin, and others to the Treasure Vault of Kunlun City.

······

Heavenly Evil City, Heavenly Evil Palace.

Yin Bing sat in the main seat, with Jin Yixin, Yan Hai, Yu Tianxiao, and twenty other Daluo Golden Immortals seated beside them, all with somber expressions.

Their offensive against the Human Clan aimed to test its strength but resulted in heavy losses.

If not for Dugu Hao of the Nine Suns Sect owning a divine beast, their losses wouldn’t have been so severe.

"Madam Yin, the divine skills of Dugu Hao’s divine beast are incredibly strong. Even with twelve sets of top-grade immortal artifacts, we couldn’t harm it. We must find a way to deal with it, or we’ll suffer even greater losses next battle."

Jin Yixin suggested.

The Jin Family is one of the top ten forces of the Evil God Race; Jin Yixin’s cultivation is relatively high, allowing him possession of twelve sets of top-grade immortal artifacts, which most Daluo Golden Immortals cannot afford.

"Indeed, unless one fully cultivates a Supreme Law to Great Perfection or possesses a full set of top-grade Primordial Immortal Treasure and ten great Immortal Arrays, dealing with it is challenging."

Yan Hai strongly agreed.

The pressure that a divine beast at the Daluo Golden Immortal stage exerted on them was immense. Should the Shaking Mountain Rhinoceros reach an even higher rank, their losses would be even greater.

"Yes, fortunately, the beast hasn’t mastered Supreme Laws. Only by deploying several Daluo Golden Immortals with powerful Dao techniques can we handle it."

Yu Tianxiao lamented.

Had he not possessed an Escape Technique-type Fourth Rank Immortal Talisman, he would’ve perished.

"I’ve dispatched people using a large Immortal Transmission Formation to contact clansmen in other strongholds for assistance. Until then, we shall not engage the Human Clan."

Yin Bing said slowly; had she known Dugu Hao possessed a divine beast, she wouldn’t have launched an attack.

"Madam Yin, didn’t you plant numerous spies within the Human Clan? Weren’t you aware of the divine beast’s existence?"

Yan Hai asked, puzzled.

"These years, the Human Clan has been spreading false information, claiming that this force has superior Hongmeng Immortal Artifacts, that force has divine beasts. I’ve received reports saying Kunlun City hosts five Daluo Golden Immortal stage divine beasts; do you believe that?"

Yin Bing sighed.

True or false, real and empty intertwined.

The spies of the Evil God Race gathered copious information, making verification difficult. Had Yin Bing known the true state within Kunlun City, she wouldn’t have initiated an attack.

"That’s true. Lord Huanghe fought with me before; his strength wasn’t impressive back then. This time he mastered a Dao technique and received aid from a Daluo Golden Immortal stage spirit beast. Were it not for Taoist Friend Bian intervening, I’d be dead."

A stout elder in green robes chimed in agreement.
