Chapter 687: Ancient Devil God

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The crowd didn’t just get 3000 captives; they also found tens of thousands of miners in the Black Crystal Mine. The battle ended quickly, and the miners didn’t have enough time to escape. They had become captives without understanding what had happened. They had no room for escape, and they also didn’t dare try to escape because they were up against so many bloodthirsty and berserk Magical Beasts.

Yang Ling took precautions against the soldiers held captive who had power at the Domain-Level or higher. He made them swallow the Magical Transformation Pills that Alice had concocted. After they swallowed the pills, it didn’t seem like their bodies suffered any issues, but the Magical power inside their bodies was sealed, and they lost their magical abilities and gifts. Now, they were only stronger than ordinary people by a little, and they wouldn’t be able to break out of the prison or stir up trouble.

They still needed to improve further the Magical Transformation Pills. Those pills didn’t pose any threat to experts with God-Level power for now, and this was why Yang Ling took other precautions. He moved all captives with God-Level power into the dungeon covered with Restriction Spells within the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension. Even the Ancient Devil God, the Black-Horned Demon, couldn’t escape from this prison, let alone experts with a Low-Level Deity’s power.

After the Corpse Wizard King, Rodriguez, cleaned the battlefield, he commanded the Magical Beast Army and laid an ambush around the Black Crystal Mine. He knew clearly the situation for several hundred miles, and the Withered Tree Warriors had all turned into large trees. They quietly supervised all movements in the vicinity. Horned Bee Beasts and Vampire Bats could also be seen flying among the grass and treetops of the boundless forest. There were also groundhogs and Red-haired Tarantulas hiding underground.

If the God-Level Horned Dragons, Dark Dragons, and other strong Magical Beasts didn’t break through enemy lines, the Horned Bee Beasts, Vampire Bats and other Low-Level Magical Beasts wouldn’t be able to pose much of a threat to those strong enemies. But those beasts could still be used to explore the road ahead and supervise a place’s situation. They still had an essential function.

The Chaos Dimension’s primitive forest had more Magical Beasts than Tailun Continent’s Terras Forest, and it had many God-Level Magical Beasts, as well as innumerable ordinary Low-Level Magical Beasts. Small Magical Beasts like the Horned Bee Beasts and Vampire Bats could be seen everywhere, and such commonly-seen little creatures wouldn’t usually attract anybody’s attention.

The Corpse Wizard King didn’t just closely supervise the situation in the vicinity of the Crystal Mines; he also followed Yang Ling’s instructions and dispatched a large number of spies into the Giant Dragon Domain and the whole Giant Dragon Mountain Range. According to the captives’ confession, the Giant Dragon Mountain Range wasn’t overseen by any peerless powerhouse. If they could make sure of that, and get a large amount of related information, then it would be time for them to seize the whole Giant Dragon Mountain Range.

Upon learning that the Crystal Mine was seized, the Giant Dragon Domain’s lord dispatched several teams, one after the other. But, after their troops were wiped out repeatedly, they stopped taking action, and instead, they looked for a way to learn more about the Magical Beast Divine Branch. Sometimes, they would send soldiers dressed as hunters or people posing as mercenaries. They had even sent several giant dragons. But none of them made it back; they were either killed or captured by the Magical Beast Army.

The Giant Dragon Lord had a prudent character, but Yang Ling wasn’t worried, and he didn’t plan to carry out a large-scale operation before ascertaining the real situation. They had already seized the Black Crystal Mine, and they would expand their reach slowly. They would annex the Giant Dragon Domain’s territory, resources, and population by degrees. They would also slowly challenge the enemy’s patience.

“Lord, I found the Wanderer Camp, and I stayed there for several days. I got close to some wanderers who’d traveled outside for a long time. But it’s a pity…” After several days, the travel-worn Flying Dragon King came back. He paused for a moment and said, “I have come up with ways to question many people, but none knew the location of Skyreach Tower, and many of them had never heard of it. I also didn’t find the Death Dimension’s Star Indicator. According to what an old man said, there is a Wandering Castle several million miles from here. But, it’s unknown whether it has any information about any of this.”

Several million miles?

Yang Ling furrowed his brow. He didn’t expect that no one in the Wanderer Camp would have any info about Skyreach Tower. It seemed like finding Skyreach Tower and the Ancient Wizards’ trails would be more difficult than he’d expected.

Yang Ling looked at the travel-worn Flying Dragon King, who rushed back swiftly, and instructed him. He asked him to withdraw to rest. “Seylius, rest for 2 days before traveling to the Wandering Castle with several guards. You should find out whether they have the intelligence and supplies we need.”

“Lord, why don’t I go there? My speed is higher.” The Golden Roc offered a suggestion. Millions of miles were a vast distance to ordinary people, but it didn’t amount to much in the eyes of the Golden Roc.

“No, Mertesacker. I have a more important mission that you must carry out.” Yang Ling shook his head and took a sip of cold rum before he said, “I always felt that the Giant Dragon Mountain Range isn’t as simple as it seemed, and none know whether a peerless powerhouse is practicing in seclusion in a certain Dimension. Mertesacker, you will go alone and carefully scout out the Giant Dragon Mountain Range’s situation. If you don’t come across a special situation where you need to, don’t use your Divine Consciousness to scan the whole mountain range. You must avoid attracting the attention of the Chaos Dimension’s great factions and peerless powerhouses.”

It was easy for a Wandering Divine Beast at the level of the Golden Roc to use its Divine Consciousness to scan the whole Giant Dragon Mountain Range. It could quickly probe the Giant Dragon Mountain Range’s situation this way, but its powerful Consciousness’s intense Energy Ripples would easily attract the attention of great factions or peerless powerhouses, and they might invite greater trouble upon themselves.

“Hehe, it wouldn’t be so bad for us to attract their attention. In my childhood, I heard the stories of many experts of the Chaos Dimension, and I really want to see their power.” The Golden Roc chuckled and left after getting orders. It traveled alone and scouted the Giant Dragon Mountain Range’s situation.

There were many peerless powerhouses who were fond of practicing underground, on a lakebed, or in a cave in a mountain. Those people might not walk out even a single time in 100,000 years, and ordinary scouts couldn’t detect them or learn of their presence. But, it was a different matter for the Golden Roc. It had great power and could look for hidden targets and find them without alerting others.

After Yang Ling saw off the Golden Roc, he looked at the Flying Dragon King Seylius, who was lying on a boulder in the vicinity and resting. He suddenly got an idea and recalled the Black-Horned Demon imprisoned in the depths of the dungeon. “There isn’t anyone in the Wanderer Camp who knows Skyreach Tower…I wonder whether the Black-Horned Demon in the dungeon knows it.”

The Black-Horned Demon Natalie was an Ancient Devil God that had survived a disaster, and many secrets were hidden in her mind. She probably knew a lot about Skyreach Tower, and even if she didn’t know Skyreach Tower, she was probably still familiar with many Dimensions. If he could tame her with his blood, he would probably learn of the Death Dimension’s location without too much effort.

This matter shouldn’t be delayed. After Yang Ling recalled the Black-Horned Demon, he took action promptly.

Several hundred years ago, he wouldn’t have dared to take any rash action against an Ancient Devil God, and this was the case even if she had been dying and at her last gasp. But after he became a High-Level Soul Wizard, both his Wizard Power and Soul Energy were greatly increased. Trying to tame her by blood still had many risks, but the situation wasn’t the same as it had been several hundred years ago, and he had some odds of success.

After Yang Ling entered the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension, he quickly looked for Alice, who was bustling about among a pile of bottles and jars. “Alice, is there a colorless and odorless poison that could knock out a peerless powerhouse who sniffed it?”

Different trades were worlds apart, and every profession had its specialist.

Yang Ling understood some of the Poison Wizardry’s means, but he had always focused his energy on Soul Wizardry’s practice, and when it came to comprehension of the Poison Wizardry, there was a large disparity between himself and the talented Alice, who practiced it arduously.

“This is a Strengthened Version of Soul Robbing Incense, but I don’t know whether it can knock out a peerless powerhouse. But when the old Rodriguez sneaked in here with people to steal Vik Poison, he slept for a whole night upon smelling this Soul Robbing Incense. The next day, those people woke up only after I fed every person a drop of the antidote. After that, they were more well-behaved.” Alice took from her spatial ring several Sea Dragon Skin Packages filled with Soul Robbing Incense. She pressed them into Yang Ling’s hands with a smile across her face.

Poison Spells were her greatest pride and skill. She found happiness in using this skill to help Yang Ling, and this had motivated her to practice alone for the past few years.

“Fine. And if that guy still dares to sneak in again and steal stuff, I will make him sleep forever.” Yang Ling chuckled and collected the Strengthened Version of Soul Robbing Incense. He rushed into the dungeon that was covered with Confining Restriction Spells and proceeded to the depths of the dungeon under the protection of several ogre guards. He quietly smeared some colorless and odorless Soul Robbing Incense in the dungeon’s ventilation opening.

For the past several hundred years, the dying Black-Horned Demon hadn’t gotten to absorb the outside world’s energy because she was affected by the Confining Restriction Spells. Her injuries didn’t worsen, but they also didn’t recover. She still seemed feeble. But despite this, Yang Ling didn’t dare to approach this carelessly, and he planned to knock out the Black-Horned Demon before taming her with blood.

He would obviously have to spend a large amount of Wizard Power and Mental Energy to tame an Ancient Devil God that had survived the Gods and Devils War. The Black-Horned Demon was heavily injured, but no one knew what terrifying magical abilities she had, and if she seized any chance to attack him while he was trying to tame her, the consequences would be too horrible to imagine.

The Taming Spell wasn’t omnipotent. If he tried to tame a strong target at a higher level, the failure rate would be very high, and this would be a risky endeavor. If he wasn’t careful, he would suffer this Wizard Spell’s backlash. According to the obelisk’s explanation, in the least severe case, his brain would be shaken and he would get a splitting headache. But in severe cases, he would sustain heaven injuries and he might even die on the spot. His soul would be extinguished!

Yang Ling was facing the Ancient Devil God, Black-Horned Demon, who had an unfathomable power, and he didn’t dare to approach this carelessly.
