Chapter 1789: Chapter 356: Stardust Battle Qi and the Cradle of Twinkling Light
For some unknown reason, this hilly area had no wild Magical Beasts, and the whole site was silent.
[It seems the ability of this wild Magical Beast to rule its subordinates is stronger than my brotherās]
Leading the team to Aczelās territory, Afarās defeated brother, there wasnāt any sympathy in Afarās heart, just a trace of worry: [At such a critical moment, there are still such capable wild Magical Beasts attacking us... This is not a good omen]
[No wonder mother ordered me to come here]
Every direct descendant of the Void Origin Winged Beetle could receive an opportunity for rapid upgrading. The Void Mother would provide ample Spirit Substance, allowing its offspring to evolve. Those successful could reach the Second Energy Level Peak, and slowly await the chance to become a Third Energy Level Lord Minister, while the failures would have most of their Spirit Substance reclaimed, becoming generals guarding externally for the Beast Kingdom, collecting Spirit Substance for their own advancement.
Afar was one of the successful ones. It also reached the Third Energy Level, being the backbone of the Beast Kingdom.
Being sent here could only mean the Beast Kingdom actually valued this āwild Magical Beastā greatly, not wanting any disturbances from the back when confronting the human army later.
[But ultimately, itās just a wild Magical Beast without Inheritance]
[Quickly resolve it, then return to the mother nest]
Thinking thus, the pale-gold colored being, more like some Spirit Energy machine than a creature, raised its upper body. Its four blade-like segments stretched out, piercing through the brains of four dazed Magical Beasts nearby.
Buzzz ā as streaks of eerie blue light were extracted from the brains of these Magical Beasts, the light in Afarās eyes intensified. It withdrew the segments and continued to penetrate the brains of other new Magical Beasts approaching like puppets, absorbing massive amounts of Soul Spirit Energy.
These Spirit Slaves brought here were shattered after repeatedly paying Ling Tax, their souls transformed into chaotic Magical Beasts, akin to vegetative states, thus treated as ammunition by the Void Origin Winged Beetles.
At this moment, Afar spread its wings, producing a thunderous reverberation in the Domain of Void: [Attackers of my Phantom Sun Beast Nation, surrender within ten breaths, and you may retain your life]
[If not complied, we will cleanse every Magical Beast here without exception!]
Despite saying this, Afar had already begun accumulating power.
Whether or not the Magical Beast daring to attack the Winged Beetle emerged, it would launch an attack to completely destroy the nest in front.
Magical Beasts daring to attack the Phantom Sun Beast Nation couldnāt be spared; if all Magical Beasts emulated this, how would the Beast Kingdom govern!
[Ten, nine...]
It began counting down, planning to launch an attack when reaching āfiveā.
As the Spirit Slaves beside died one by one, a dazzling deep blue light gathered on the beetleās single horn, blindingly bright, carrying an elusive, cold aura, like the breath of Phantoms from the Abyss of destruction, directly leading to ādeathā.
The so-called āVoid Originā essentially means āborn from nihilism of deathā. Domain of Void is the resting place for bodies of the Multitude of Souls post-decay. The Void Origin Sacred Beetleās birth stems from the death of numerous souls with life, innate soul devourers and controllers, the Underworldās sun, allowing them to naturally command souls and catalyze their growth through the death of all things.
Actually, harvesting intelligent life is an extremely slow and foolish method. In Spark, Afar knows a method to swiftly gather Spirit Substance by harvesting Spirit Substance mushrooms, which negates the need for soul tax to nurture these disloyal Magical Beasts; the Winged Beetles could gather resources for transformation by farming themselves.
Unfortunately, Spark is difficult to decipher, and the method of creating Spirit Substance mushrooms is unknown, so Void Origin Winged Beetles can only utilize their bloody skills inherited from ancestors nearly ten thousand years ago, conducting live sacrifices on site to enhance their power.
Increasing the power of this āGreat Silent Death Decreeā.
As long as this decree hits, any living being not evolved, engaged with Aether, would die without resistance, no matter how large or vital. A Third Energy Level could be instantaneously killed, while even a Fourth Energy Level perfectly mastering Aether would see a significant vitality corrosion.
Both humans and Magical Beasts dread the decree reducing lifespan, and Afar is extremely cautious, not willing to give the mysterious Magical Beast any chance to defeat itself.
However, it still underestimated.
Underestimated Ian, and the Magical Beast that learned Fighting Spirit Douqi.
[Eight...]
Before the count reached eight, the ground in Afarās area suddenly shattered, erupting into a dust cloud tens of meters high, and two shadows leapt out of the broken earth. One shadow wrapped in lightning, with a long tail, and the other muscular with scattered gold-red aura.
In an instant, the two shadows sprang with piercing screeches, traversing two arcs in mid-air, flanking Afar left and right.
Thunder and blood flames converged, firmly thrusting, bouncing off the eight eerie blue compound eyes on Afarās sides.
Very strong! Considerably strong for the Second Energy Level attack!
But it was a Third Energy Level Great Magical Beast!
In a moment, it stepped forward, segment limbs intertwined as fortifications, clashing with the left and right incoming fists.
