Chapter 1684: Chapter 1781: Ten Thousand Beasts Submit
The first to charge forward was a giant python with nine heads, its entire body shimmering in vibrant colors. The nine sinister snake heads spewed black smoke, its body exuding a menacing Demon Qi from head to toe.
Next came a fire-breathing bull and a massive bird with six wings. The auras of these two Demon Beasts were no less formidable than that of the nine-headed python.
Subsequent Demon Beasts appeared one after another, their auras varying in intensity, but none were below the Six Transformations realm.
In other words, all the Demon Beasts emerging from the Picture of Ten Thousand Beasts were at least at the Six Transformations Giant Demon King realm.
The most powerful ones were undoubtedly the few that emerged first, each exuding the aura of Eight-Change Monster Beasts.
Eight-Change Monster Beasts were equivalent to the Human Clanâs Great Longevity cultivators, but to measure the combat strength of an Eight-Change Monster Beast against a single Great Longevity cultivator would be absurd.
Especially the ones possessing unique ancient bloodlines; even against five or six Great Longevity cultivators simultaneously, they could remain undefeated.
In an instant, the sky above became densely packed with Demon Beasts, various strands of Demon Qi intertwining, making the atmosphere thick with malevolence beyond imagination. Down below, countless Sea Beasts were startled into jumping out of the water, seemingly responding to the Demon Beasts above the heavens.
The Picture of Ten Thousand Beasts truly lived up to its name. So many Demon Beasts were packed together that, at a glance, there were undoubtedly tens of thousands, forming a remarkably powerful Demon Beast army.
The crowd from the Spirit Martial Chess Sect was astounded at the scene, while the experts of Return to Sea Painting Studio were filled with pride, for the Picture of Ten Thousand Beasts was their treasure. Its display now truly brought honor to their sect.
âWhat an incredible treasure! If one could wield this Picture of Ten Thousand Beasts, wouldnât they be invincible across the realm?â Zhen Yangzi exclaimed in admiration.
Jian Angxing and Fu Yue Vajra were equally astonished. The Picture of Ten Thousand Beasts was indeed terrifying, capable of releasing such a multitude of Demon Beasts, including several at the Eight-Change realm. Who in this world could stand against such power?
Other than the Demon Beast clanâs Great Sage Equal to Heaven, scarcely anyone under heaven could underestimate these Demon Beasts.
Of course, if this Picture of Ten Thousand Beasts were to face the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, it would be rendered useless. The Demon Beasts would likely bow down at the mere sight of him.
However, when it came to dealing with the Human Clan, the Picture was exceedingly effective. To these Demon Beasts, especially the ones with ancient bloodlines, humans were deemed natural enemies, deep within their bloodline, and were viewed as prey.
Fang Lin looked at the swarm of Demon Beasts encircling him and his group, his face showing surprise, yet he remained composed. More than fear, his expression revealed curiosity.
âThese are actual Demon Beasts, not projections or illusions. So many Demon Beasts were sealed within the Picture of Ten Thousand Beastsâclearly, the one who left this artifact possessed extraordinary skills,â Fang Lin remarked.
Jian Angxing, rarely speaking, suddenly chimed in, âI once heard that the Picture of Ten Thousand Beasts was left behind by the ancestor who founded the Confucian sect.â
Upon hearing this, Fang Linâs brow furrowed subtly. The founder of the Confucian sect? According to the information shared with Fang Lin by the lady in black earlier, the founder of the Confucian sect should be the Sky Tower Sword Master from the Unparalleled Eight Emperors.
If that were the case, then could the Picture of Ten Thousand Beasts have been left behind by the Sky Tower Sword Master?
âDo you know who the founders of the three sects are?â Fang Lin ignored the fiery gazes of the Demon Beasts and instead posed the question to Zhen Yangzi and the other two.
The three were momentarily puzzled before shaking their heads in unison. They had no knowledge of the founders of the three sects and had rarely even heard rumors.
Before Fang Lin could say more, the swarm of Demon Beasts charged toward them from all directions. Leading the assault were the fire-breathing bull and the six-winged bird, both incredibly formidable.
The surrounding Demon Beasts quickly followed suit, overwhelming Fang Lin and his companions entirely.
The beasts sealed within the Picture of Ten Thousand Beasts cared nothing for one-on-one duels. Nor did they bother with notions of honor or fairness. What they sought was ruthless slaughter and tearing apart any humans in sight.
âHahaha! With my Picture of Ten Thousand Beasts, these vermin stand no chance. Theyâre destined to perish beneath the claws and fangs of these beasts!â The elderly Master Liu stroked his beard and laughed heartily, clearly feeling vindicated and elated.
Nearby, Master Song, who was still recovering his strength, sneered inwardly at the old manâs boastfulness but couldnât deny the terrifying power of the Picture of Ten Thousand Beasts. Luckily, being fellow members of the Confucian sect, Return to Sea Painting Studio wouldnât wield such a fearsome artifact against their Spirit Martial Chess Sect.
Besides, while Return to Sea Painting Studio had the Picture of Ten Thousand Beasts, Spirit Martial Chess Sect had its own treasures to intimidate others, though they hadnât been unleashed yet.
However, Master Liuâs grin hadnât fully spread before the Demon Beasts above the heavens began crying out in terror, as though they had encountered something truly horrific. Even the Eight-Change Demon Beasts recoiled continuously.
âWhatâs going on?â Master Liu and the members of Return to Sea Painting Studio were dumbfounded. Why werenât the Demon Beasts attacking those four humans? Instead, they kept retreating?
âQuick, look! Fang Lin seems to have something in his hands,â someone with sharp eyes from Spirit Martial Chess Sect exclaimed.
There was no need for the cry, as everyone present with significant cultivation had already noticed.
In Fang Linâs hands was a golden-furred creature that resembled a large dog.
The surrounding Demon Beasts appeared terrified by this golden-furred dog, retreating one after another and refusing to approach Fang Linâs group.
Master Liu was undoubtedly the most shocked among them. As the present-day leader of Return to Sea Painting Studio and wielder of the Picture of Ten Thousand Beasts handed down by previous sect leaders, he had used it only once before during a great battle between two realms. By all logic, the Demon Beasts within the Picture should be fearlessâwhy would such an inexplicable scene occur?
Moreover, the Demon Beasts werenât scared of any of the four humans but rather of that golden-furred dog?
It wasnât just Master Liu who couldnât make sense of the situation. Even the Demon Beasts themselves found it strange. They didnât know what that golden-furred dog was, but simply by laying eyes on it, their bloodlines would instinctively tremble with fear, making them unwilling to face it.
This feeling was enigmatic yet irresistible, as the Demon Beast clan placed supreme importance on the reverence of bloodlines.
The golden-furred dog dangled in Fang Linâs hands, swaying as Fang Lin carried it. The Demon Beasts retreated further, while those with weaker strength were already trembling, seemingly wanting to return to the Picture of Ten Thousand Beasts.
âWho wouldâve thought this little thing would actually prove useful,â Zhen Yangzi said with a chuckle.
Whether it was the nine-headed python, the fire-breathing bull, or the six-winged bird, none dared confront Fang Linâs golden-furred dog. At this moment, all of them chose to bow down in submission under the dogâs bloodline majesty.
