Chapter 462: War Preparations
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Great Elder of the Dark Association Rebraca was very conversant. Under his explanation, Yang Ling understood much of the general knowledge surrounding the cultivation of Divine-level Experts. He also gained a preliminary understanding of the various other dimensions.
As it turned out, there were countless other dimensions outside of the Tailun Continent. Life, order, nature, strength, death, and chaos were the Six Main Dimensions, and they had immensely concentrated amounts of Magical Elements as well as an alarming area, tens of thousands of times larger than the Tailun Continent. Every main dimension was highly populated. Other than a large number of Divine-level Experts, the number of normal people they had was akin to the number of grains of sand in a desert, uncountable. In terms of ratios, there were a dozen times more Divine-level Experts on these dimensions than the Tailun Continent. However, because of their massive population, the absolute number of Divine-level Experts within the dimensions was incredibly startling.
Other than the Six Main Dimensions, there were also countless physical and half-physical dimensions, on them existed various living beings. The Six Main Dimensions have existed for millions of years and had a stable space structure. Other than a few exits from the dimension, Space Cracks were extremely rare there. A physical dimension, like the Tailun Continent was different. Not only was the density of Magical Elements here inferior to the Six Main Continents, but space here was also extremely unstable. A Space Crack would immediately form if there were any violent agitations of the Space Turbulence. If the situation was serious and the Space Crack was not plugged in time, the dimension might even break down completely, destroyed by the currents of space.
Half-dimensions are physical dimensions that were still developing, their area and structure not fully formed yet. Compared to a physical dimension like the Tailun Continent, space was even more unstable. They would frequently be destroyed completely by a few large Space Ion Storms, the living creatures on those dimensions killed without a resting place. Basically, of a hundred half-dimensions, only one of them would survive until the end and grow to become a physical dimension.
Most of the half-dimensions are formed naturally, created by gathering dirt and debris left behind by decimated clusters of meteors resulting from the destruction of a dimension within the Space Turbulence. A small number of them are also created by top-notch Divine-level Experts through the use of Divine-level Spells, forcefully gathering meteors and dirt. In order to obtain a sufficient number of devout followers and receive an endless stream of Wish Power, a few of the more powerful Divine-level Experts would ward off various disasters on the half-dimensions. The half-dimensions that were able to survive and become a physical dimension in the end basically had the backing of a powerful Divine-level Expert.
In order to obtain Wish Power, creating a religion was undoubtedly the best course of action. Every powerful Divine-level Expert would basically appear as a so-called deity in front of the various half-dimensions or physical dimensions. Thus, there were also countless religions of different kinds in various other dimensions.
“Elder Rebraca, they are the God of Swords and God of Fire on the Tailun Continent Divine-level Experts who have gotten their Divine Occupations? Also, are there powerful Dimensional Guardians or Dimensional Wanderers on the continent?” After recovering from his shock, Yang Ling understood many things. However, his understanding gave birth to more questions in his heart.
“No, the so-called God of Swords and God of Fire is just a term people use to call them. According to my knowledge, there is no one in the Tailun Continent who has reached the level of Core Deity. No one has a Divine Occupation!” Great Elder Rebraca smiled, pausing before he continued, “It was rumored that a long time ago, there was once an incredibly powerful guardian on the Tailun Continent. The Dimensional Wanderers who dared barge into the continent would all die by his hand. However, no one knows why he suddenly disappeared. Some said that he moved to a faraway dimension. Some said he died at the Graveyard of Deities and Demons, but no one is exactly sure of the reason. The Dark Association and the Church only started to spread our teachings here a few hundred thousand years after he disappeared.
Died at the Graveyard of Deities and Demons?
Yang Ling’s heart shook as he thought about the Divine-level Magical Beast Golden Roc that could freely traverse through the Space Turbulence he had kept into the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, as well as the mysterious elder within Graveyard of Deities and Demons who had gotten injured along with the Golden Roc. Faintly, he could sense that the Graveyard of Deities and Demons harbored many unspeakable secrets. Unfortunately, he was still not powerful enough at the moment. Otherwise, he could lead his Magical Beast Army into the area and explore to see if there are any hidden secrets within.
“That’s right, Brother Yang Ling, after recuperating for some time, we would launch a large-scale attack on the Church. Are you interested in joining the battle with us?” The Great Elder of the Dark Association Rebraca said as he looked meaningfully at Yang Ling.
The greater the investment, the greater the returns!
Even though they were grateful to Yang Ling for saving them and liked him a considerable amount, Yang Ling still had to put in more effort if he wanted to obtain an even greater benefit. As the Great Elder of the Dark Association, Rebraca naturally had to consider things from the perspective of the Dark Association when it came to major things like this.
“It is my honor to be able to fight alongside the Great Elder!” Yang Ling smiled. Even if the Dark Association was not going to take action, Yang Ling was going to give the Church a taste of the Magical Beast Territory’s might. With the three head honchos of the Dark Association backing him up, with the soldiers of the Dark Association charging the front and acting as the vanguard, Yang Ling would definitely not miss such a good opportunity to damage the Church while they were down.
“Great, we will mobilize our forces together in a month.” Great Elder Rebraca looked appreciatively at Yang Ling before continuing, “Time is almost up, I would think that the reinforcements of the Church would arrive soon. Let’s go. We’ll show the Church our might a month later.”
Even though he was immensely powerful, Elder Rebraca was unwilling to take action against the reinforcements of the Church hastily. It was not too late for them to exact revenge after mobilizing a batch of experts over from the Death Dimension and preparing for a month. Under his command, the soldiers of the Dark Association set fire to every corner of the Iron Edge Castle, then quickly left through a Magical Teleportation Formation. By the time the reinforcements of the Church arrived, the so-called sturdiest Iron Edge Castle in the continent had become a pile of ash. Raging flames and thick smoke filled the area, corpses of the Church’s knights and Spellcasters were strewn around every corner, burnt to a crisp. It was a pitiful sight.

A month was a very limited amount of time. In order to rapidly improve the abilities of the territory, Yang Ling immediately took action after returning to the Magical Beast Territory through the Magical Teleportation Formations. He ordered Goode to settle the inmates he recruited down and complete the paperwork that would make them members of the Hunter Association. He ordered Master Aaron and the Gnome Elder to create even more Magic Crystal Cannons, further improving the weapons and armor used by the Magical Beast Army. He ordered Ashnamov to deepen his search for the Sea Tribes, and kill the crafty pirate, the One-eyed Dragon, as fast as possible; He instructed Alice to seize the time and create even more lethal poison…
Even though he had obtained an alarming amount of spoils of war from the battle in the Iron Edge Castle, there had also been heavy casualties. He had lost a good portion of his low-level Magical Beasts such as the Self-destructing Bats and Horned Bee Beasts. Even though he could rapidly replenish their numbers through the Magical Beast Base within the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, he needed to train further the Magical Beasts he had just subjugated for them to display the battle capabilities they were supposed to have. Fortunately, even though the high-level Magical Beasts like the Dark Dragon King, Purple Rat Little Ice, and Giant Apes were severely injured, none of them met with misfortune. They could recover by consuming the Water from the Spring of Life as well as through the white fog released by the Wizard’s Pagoda.
After giving Elder Brent a bottle of Water from the Spring of Life and helping him quickly recover from his injuries, Yang Ling headed into the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, closely examining how he could improve the abilities of the Magical Beast Army in the shortest amount of time possible. With over a dozen Domain Experts and many more Sage-level Experts joining the Hunter Association, the strength of the Hunter Association had improved at an unprecedented rate. Its influence will also get greater and greater. Comparatively, the number of Level Surpassing Magical Beasts in his Magical Beast Army is too little, clearly unable to meet the demands of the situation. He had to find a way to improve the abilities of the Magical Beast Army.
With just a month left, entering the Terras Forest or heading out to sea to search for Level Surpassing Magical Beasts was clearly impractical. No matter how lucky he was, the most he could tame was one or two Level Surpassing Magical Beasts. If this was in the past, Yang Ling could only have placed all of his hopes in the random Beast Soul Altar. However, now that he had the Black Crystal Marrow given to him by the Great Commander of the Dark Association Barbosa, the situation was different.
“Quick, ten drops for every one of you, quick!” After gathering the Dark Dragon King, Flying Dragon King, Corpse Dragon King, and the rest of the group, Yang Ling spoke as he took out a cup, carefully pouring ten drops of the precious Black Crystal Marrow within. He was extremely worried about the Corpse Wizard King and Purple Rat Little Ice. If they were to do this themselves, they might mischievously consume the entire bottle of the Crystal Marrow.
“This… Sir, is this a new kind of poison Alice created?” Even though he could sense the waves of pulsing energy released by the black droplets, the Flying Dragon King Seylius was still a little hesitant when he saw how dark the liquid was. When they had just started creating poisons, Alice and Yang Ling had used the high-level Magical Beasts as guinea pigs multiple times. Seylius would still shiver whenever he remembered how he had the runs every day, his legs trembling after going to the loo countless times.
“This is the greatest loot we got from the Iron Edge Castle. It’s said to be a premium Black Crystal Marrow that comes from the Death Dimension. A drop of it is hard to come by even in the Death Dimension, and it cannot be bought no matter how much money you have!” Looking at the paranoid Flying Dragon King, Yang Ling shook his head, “Consuming a drop of it can allow you to rapidly improve your abilities and accelerate the speed of your cultivation. Forget it if you don’t want it!”
A premium Black Crystal Marrow coming from the Death Dimension?
The group was shocked but became elated when they came to their senses. The Corpse Wizard King moved the fastest, consuming his portion in a mouthful, then extended his hand to snatch over the Flying Dragon King Seylius’s portion, “Hehehe, this is the newest poison Alice created, drinking a mouthful of it will give you the runs for ten days. Seylius, don’t drink it if you fear poison that much, I’ll help you!”
“Go and die, if you don’t loosen your grip now, I’ll send a group of Flying Dragons to follow you around wherever you go. I’ll see where you can hide and relieve yourself then!” The Flying Dragon King targeted where the Corpse Wizard King hurt most. The latter did not fear anything other than having someone interrupting him when he was playing with a young lady.
…
Modeling the actions of the Corpse Wizard King, the group quickly consumed the rare Black Crystal Marrow. However, just as Yang Ling was prepared to leave, the Purple Rat Little Ice lost it. It jumped around Yang Ling, rolling on the ground, its little tongue licking its lips as it demanded to have a few more drops. The moment it entered its mouth, Little Ice realized that it was a treasure that it could not get too much of.
Chitter…
Seeing that Yang Ling was opening the bottle once again after being pestered by the Purple Rat Little Ice, the Thousand-faced Mink pounced over as fast as lightning. Even though it had been misguided by the Purple Rat Little Ice, it was still a delicate lady. It did not roll around on the ground as Little Ice had done. Instead, its eyes turned red as tears streamed down its cheeks like a spring. It was as if it had just suffered a great injustice, making it such that Yang Ling could not decline
“Tsk tsk, you two creatures, the last two drops, I don’t have any more!”
After feeding the Purple Rat Little Ice and the Thousand-faced Mink another drop of the Crystal Marrow, seeing the Corpse Wizard King, Dark Dragon King, and the rest of the group drool in envy, Yang Ling quickly closed the bottle and left. He did not want a massive Dark Dragon or a withered Corpse Wizard King rolling around on the ground, requesting a few more drops of the Crystal Marrow. Before he left, seeing the Unicorn standing not far away staring dejectedly at him, thinking about how he had traversed across the territory on it back in the day, he summoned the Unicorn after a moment’s deliberation and fed it a full fifteen drops of the Crystal Marrow.
Over the days, even though it had consumed a substantial amount of Magical Beast Essence Crystals and a good amount of Water from the Spring of Life, the Unicorn that had worked hard for him in the past had only evolved to the beginning stages of level nine, the distance between the abilities of the Unicorn and the other high-level Magical Beasts like the Dark Dragon King, Flying Dragon King and Giant Ape King getting larger and larger. Yang Ling hoped that the Unicorn would give him an unexpected surprise after consuming fifteen drops of the Crystal Marrow at once.
After all, after the Unicorn advanced to become a Level Surpassing Magical Beast, turning into a rare Sage Unicorn, its abilities would become far greater than an average Level Surpassing Magical Beast!
