Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Savage Elephant King [Fourth update]

The monstrous beasts were bearing down on the Cat People Clan like a dark, oppressive tide; at a glance, it appeared like a flood, impossible to count just how many.

It was even more vast than the beast tide Qin Jun had seen outside the Bronze Pass in the Nanzhuo Dynasty!

What infuriated Qin Jun the most was that Old Man Yi was riding atop a giant elephant at the forefront of the beast tide. It was a massive elephant clad in black fur, towering ten meters tall, with tusks so long they sent shivers down one’s spine.

"What the hell does this old coot want?"

Qin Jun was burning with anxiety. Half of the Cat People were injured and simply couldn’t withstand the onslaught of a beast tide, and what was most critical was that within the beast tide there were numerous presences that made even Qin Jun’s blood run cold.

Beasts exceeding the Transforming Void Realm!

Yuan Hong and Lei Zhenzi also took to the skies. Confronted with such a scale of beast tide, they too unconsciously furrowed their brows.

"Your Majesty, do you need me to make a move?" Yuan Hong asked gravely. It was a very unwise decision to make an enemy of Old Man Yi without understanding his intentions.

"Hold them off first. If the beast tide doesn’t stop, then you can act," Qin Jun pondered, not wanting to lose a great general like Yuan Hong over the Cat People Clan.

Upon receiving the order, Yuan Hong somersaulted and landed on the grassland. Demon energy burst forth from his body, and following that, his body began to swell rapidly, causing the Cat People’s jaws to drop, Wang Yan included.

Not just any Immortal Realm cultivator could comprehend the Divine Power to grow as large as the heaven and as heavy as the earth!

Soon, Yuan Hong grew to a thousand zhang in height, akin to a mountain, and with a thunderous crash, his Fine Iron Rod smashed onto the ground, causing the grassland to tremble.

"Stop!"

Yuan Hong’s voice boomed authoritatively, so potent that even the clouds above his head were dispersed by the sound waves.

Old Man Yi, riding the Giant Elephant, couldn’t help but gleam with admiration when he saw the thousand-zhang-tall Yuan Hong and marveled, "What a divine power!"

Then, suddenly squeezing his legs, the Giant Elephant, in pain, raised its head and let out a long, wailing cry, prompting every beast to halt hastily, causing dust to billow like a sandstorm.

Qin Jun flew to Yuan Hong’s shoulder and called out, "Old Man Yi, what do you mean by this?"

Just looking at this endless tide of beasts made his scalp tingle.

"Heh heh, I wanted to give you a gift," Old Man Yi chuckled, patting the Giant Elephant beneath him and saying with a loud laugh, "This one is a descendant of the ancient Savage Elephants. There are only three in the entire Langya Mountain Range, and besides this one, there is a female and her young, which I couldn’t bear to capture, so I have brought this one to you."

Brought it over?

Qin Jun’s face was full of disbelief. If you’re just bringing an elephant over, why lead such a massive beast tide?

Trying to fool a three-year-old!

Seeing the expression on Qin Jun’s face, Old Man Yi laughed and said, "This is a rank seven beast king, one of the top demon kings of the entire Langya Mountain Range. Are you sure you don’t want it?"

A rank seven beast king?

Qin Jun’s eyes lit up, while Wang Yan and the rest of the Cat People’s mouths were agape in shock, whispering among themselves.

"Sss—isn’t that the Savage Elephant King? It got caught?"

"How strong must that old man be... to dare to capture the Savage Elephant King..."

"Am I seeing things?"

"It’s said that the Savage Elephant King submitted to the Demonic Dao a few years back, which is why the nine Demonic Lords didn’t dare to slaughter the Langya Mountain Range."

The murmurings of tens of thousands of Cat People coalesced into no small commotion, which Qin Jun heard and his eyebrows lifted, seeing that this ancient Savage Elephant came with no small legacy.

The Savage Elephant King!

The name alone sounded formidable!

After thinking for a moment, unable to resist the temptation, Qin Jun asked, "Will it obey me?"

Old Man Yi patted the Savage Elephant King and laughed, "Of course you can, I’ll let you form a bloodline contract with it, then it won’t dare to betray you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun’s face immediately showed excitement.

Just then, a black vortex suddenly appeared in the sky, from which strands of sinister demon energy emanated, startling Qin Jun and the others to look up.

They saw one demonic cultivator after another fly out of it, with the leader being a Golden Immortal Realm powerhouse. He was dressed in a black cloak, and they could only vaguely see his blood-red eyes, his true face obscured.

"You killed an elder of the Black Destructor Sect and still think you can escape?"

The cloaked figure shouted in a deep voice, his voice like a thunderclap on a clear day, causing Qin Jun and the Cat People to wince in pain.

Yuan Hong couldn’t help but lift his head to look at him, a terrifying intent to kill making the cloaked figure shudder. He subconsciously swept Yuan Hong with his Divine Consciousness, causing a tumult of shock within him.

As a first-layer Golden Immortal, he was unable to see through Yuan Hong’s cultivation.

Because Qi Tianxin had the cultivation of the eighth layer of the True Immortal Realm but was still killed, the Black Destructor Sect had sent him. He hadn’t expected the opponent to be so frighteningly powerful. Apart from him, the strongest member in the Black Destructor Sect was still in retreat, making him effectively the sect’s most formidable combatant during this period.

Just as the cloaked man was about to speak, he suddenly turned his head to look, his gaze falling upon the dark mass of beast tide, especially toward the Savage Elephant King beneath Old Man Yi.

"The Savage Elephant King!"

The cloaked man exclaimed in shock.

"Save me..." the Savage Elephant King telepathically called out to the cloaked man, fearing Old Man Yi would notice.

Upon hearing this, the cloaked man’s soul nearly scattered in terror, and he hastily cried out, "Retreat!"

With that, he turned and flew towards the black vortex above, the other demonic cultivators paused in bewilderment before fleeing as well.

To dare capture a demon king of the level of the Flat Heaven Demon Sovereign, he realized Qin Jun and the others must have had a more terrifying background than they had anticipated. At the very least, they were too much for the Black Destructor Sect to handle.

The Black Destructor Sect retreated quickly, the entire incident from appearance to retreat lasting less than a minute.

"What the hell was that? Hit and run after acting tough?"

Qin Jun watched the scene with a mix of tears and laughter, while the Cat People Clan was dumbfounded.

Victorious without a fight, they had frightened the Black Destructor Sect away?

Afterward, Qin Jun, accompanied by Yuan Hong and Lei Zhenzi, approached the Savage Elephant King. Old Man Yi directly slapped the elephant on the head, forcing it to kneel, then lifted his right hand, and the essence blood of the Savage Elephant King emerged from its head into the palm of his hand.

How domineering...

Qin Jun couldn’t help but swallow hard, the demon king at the level of the Immortal Realm powerless to resist Old Man Yi.

Then, with a wave of Old Man Yi’s right hand, the essence blood of the Savage Elephant King flew straight towards Qin Jun.

"Don’t resist, it not only allows you to control this ancient Savage Elephant, but it will also strengthen your physique!"

Old Man Yi’s voice reached Qin Jun’s ears, as if imbued with a magical force that made Qin Jun relax his body and mind, letting the essence blood of the Savage Elephant King seep into his forehead.

Boom!

Qin Jun felt his mind explode, a soul-shaking elephant roar reverberating within it.

In the blink of an eye, he found himself standing atop a mountain, surrounded by swirling clouds, clearly above the cloud level.

Having experienced Ji Yongsheng’s memories, Qin Jun was not confused. He looked up and his mouth fell open in awe.

At the end of the clouds, there was a fearsome giant elephant that rivaled the setting sun, howling upward. Qin Jun couldn’t see its true face, but only its long trunk encircling the setting sun, an image that was incredibly striking and hard to comprehend due to the beast’s immense size.

Is this the ancient Savage Elephant?

Qin Jun’s eyes widened. Compared to this ancient Savage Elephant, the Savage Elephant King was no different from a young calf, not even seeming to belong to the same species.

With the passage of time, could it be that the ancient Savage Elephants have devolved?
