Chapter 932 - 918: Descent
Su Muyao’s expression was icy cold as she stared at Lin Xu with detachment.
When she employed the Immortal Phoenix auspicious beast’s inheritance secret technique, the power of the Immortal Phoenix Bone in Lin Xu’s body instantly vanished, and a small fragment of the Immortal Phoenix Bone fell into Su Muyao’s hand.
The system said, "I didn’t expect it to be only a quarter in size."
Su Muyao said, "Even just this piece is still part of the whole."
Without the protection of the Immortal Phoenix Bone, Lin Xu had no means left to save herself.
Not to mention Yun Qinglan’s power of thunder and lightning, even the Divine Fire descending from Da Bao would incinerate her completely.
Yet in the end, Su Muyao left her with a breath of life.
She had many questions to ask.
Because Lin Xu’s so-called summons were gone, that branch attacking Hua Linye was dispersed, and the fissure in the heaven closed.
Su Muyao gazed upward at the sky, where in a trance she seemed to see Hua Linye and Da Bao.
They stood above the clouds, seemingly looking down as well.
But since they reached the Divine Domain, they couldn’t descend to the mortal world, only act within the Divine Domain.
Maybe these were the rules of the Divine Domain.
However, this also owed much to Hua Linye and Da Bao.
Yun Qinglan’s face was pale, frightened by the ordeal.
He realized these foes were more troublesome than expected.
He couldn’t delay anymore; he must become the Beast God urgently.
Only by becoming the Beast God could he better protect his wife.
Thinking of this, Yun Qinglan’s eyes grew resolute.
Yun Qinglan and Su Muyao used their superpowers to imprison the dying Lin Xu.
Lin Xu had been battered to just a wisp of breath; even if Su Muyao and Yun Qinglan didn’t act, she would vanish in a few hours.
Because she was burned by the power of Divine Fire.
The burning of Divine Fire was intensely painful.
And Yun Qinglan’s power of thunder and lightning struck her body, causing agony akin to enduring a Heavenly Tribulation.
When she thought she was going to die, the power of Divine Fire suddenly disappeared, letting her live.
But Lin Xu knew Su Muyao would never let her go.
Lin Xu glared at Su Muyao with malicious eyes.
How could she have thought that the Immortal Phoenix Bone could be taken back by Su Muyao?
Su Muyao, unwilling to waste time, fed Lin Xu an elixir that could make her speak the truth.
"Speak, where did you get the Immortal Phoenix Bone?"
Lin Xu, having lost the strength to resist and the elixir melting instantly in her mouth, started to confess in confusion, "Of course, an adult gave it."
"Who is the adult, where did they come from?"
Lin Xu said, "I don’t know; I only know the adult is a mysterious Plant-type Beastman with Spatial Power who sent me here."
Su Muyao’s expression turned heavy, knowing the adult Lin Xu spoke of was the branch that just broke open a fissure in the sky and appeared.
No wonder, possessing the Spatial Power, it could break open this place.
"Can that adult come here?"
"No, he cannot; I must use a secret technique to make part of his power descend."
"He cannot descend here in person."
Su Muyao continued asking, "Then why can you come here?"
Lin Xu said, "Because I wore part of the Immortal Phoenix Bone, which holds Immortal Energy, shielding my aura and deceiving the Great Dao Rules here."
Su Muyao furrowed her brows, puzzled, "Why doesn’t your adult use the Immortal Phoenix Bone to enter here?"
Lin Xu said, "Not everyone can use the Immortal Phoenix Bone; only females can, and must be pure and untainted by murder."
"Although I’m just a clone, I’ve never killed a Beastman before, so I can use the Immortal Phoenix Bone to come here."
"The adult tried many methods before, leading to the deaths of many females without success, finally opted to use me."
"I don’t know the reason; the adult said maybe my Blood Power physique is special, with the Power of Ancestor Bloodline."
"But after arriving here, I couldn’t rashly expose myself and had to hide in the Princess’s body, lest I accidentally reveal my aura."
Su Muyao asked, "How did you possess this body?"
Lin Xu explained, "She willingly gave her body to me; High-level Demon Beasts can use Illusion Techniques, letting someone enter Illusion Realms to induce Beastman’s Heart Demon, which makes them easily bewitched."
"During her bewitchment, she agreed to give her body to me and make a Contract; then using Demon Blood as a guide, she helped me enter her body for possession."
Su Muyao focused her mind, "Heart Demon?"
Lin Xu mechanically answered, "Yes, most Beastmen have Heart Demons, things they care about."
"This Princess cares most about Snake Beastman’s body; even as a Princess, her Beast Husbands are all Cold-blooded Beastmen; those exotic male Beastmen refuse to be her Beast Husband."
"She fell in love with Master Hua, but Master Hua wouldn’t give her a glance; High-level Demon Beasts beguiled her that if she ceded her body, I could help her earn Master Hua’s affection and make many furry top males love her; she agreed."
"Ha, who made her a female Snake Beastman?"
Su Muyao knew Snake Beastmen, whether female or male, seem unpopular with furry Beastmen.
Beast World carries such biases.
She actually wished to change this situation.
"Where is the High-level Demon Beast you mentioned?"
Lin Xu shook her head, "I don’t know; I only know High-level Demon Beasts can transform into human shapes, indistinguishable from Beastmen."
"Low-level Demon Beasts have a stench, but High-level do not."
"Demon Beasts with high bloodlines are powerful, capable of shaping into human forms through cultivation, with appearances indistinct from Beastmen."
"But innately, they’re bloodthirsty, murderous, greedy, selfish, cold, and unfeeling."
Lin Xu doesn’t like Demon Beasts, but their power is overwhelming; Insect Clan rely on Demon Beasts to break the Nine Nether Forbidden Land’s Barrier.
"The cruel secret techniques our Insect Clan learned are tied to Demon Beasts."
"If not for Demon Beasts, Insect Clan wouldn’t employ so many cruel secret techniques, wouldn’t devour other Beastmen’s superpowers to increase strength, wouldn’t craft so many Sacrificial Arrays."
"Nor be sealed in the Nine Nether Forbidden Land by the Witch Clan’s Great Power..."
Thinking of this, Lin Xu harbors resentment.
She feels they’ve been exploited by Demon Beasts.
But the adult behind them might serve the King behind the Demon Beasts.
Moreover, some Insect Clan Beastmen originate from the ancestral land.
As Su Muyao kept asking, Lin Xu revealed much information she knew.
"I only know Demon Beasts have Royal Family, High-level, Mid-level, and Low-level distinctions, tied to their bloodline abilities."
"Royal Family Demon Beasts can automatically transform human shape, High-level need auxiliary methods yet Mid-level and Low-level can’t change form."
"Especially Low-level, simply following task orders."
"This fragment world has remnants of Divine Domain’s Rule Power blocking entrance, hence Royal Family Demon Beasts can’t enter here."
"High-level Demon Beasts also struggle to enter, while only some Low-level and Mid-level can find ways in."
"They devour countless Beastmen; as this fragment world’s resentment grows, it also impacts the emergence of the Beast God."
"Might even obscure the Great Dao Rules here; if Royal Family Demon Beasts absorb the Divine Power here, maybe Demon Beasts could become a Demon God, mastering the entire continent."
