Chapter 472 - 270: Ancient Demon Beast: Red-Eyed Beast
They originally thought the level 30 arena was also theirs for the taking, but now they have actually lost.
So upon returning, the Demon Kings began to hold a meeting, discussing how to handle the seventh round of competition.
"For this level 30 battle, we must fight for it; the opponent is only level 34."
As soon as the Undying Phoenix spoke, many Demon Kings expressed their agreement.
The strength demonstrated by the Big White Bear was formidable, but its level is right there.
However, who will go up?
The battling prowess of the Little Ghost Hunting Wolf King is already at the peak of this level, and now it is challenging for the Demon Race to find a stronger power.
While the Demon Kings exchanged questioning looks, a voice suddenly came from outside the door:
"Has the foundation of the younger generation of the Demon Race, after all these years of development, amounted to this?"
Upon hearing this, the Demon Kings were furious, but when they turned their heads, they saw who was standing outside the door and all fell silent.
Standing outside the door was a Black Qilin, at the Half-Step Immortal Beast level.
Among the Demon Kings present, none were without strength at this level.
This Black Qilin is not particularly powerful, yet no one dared to refute its words at this moment.
Because it was the first mount under the command of the peerless Demon King!
So, they did not fear this Black Qilin, but what they feared was the peerless Demon King behind it.
The Undying Phoenix even trembled at the thought that the Demon King might have come personally.
Unexpectedly, the Black Qilin spoke: "The Demon King is aware of your predicament and has specifically sent me to relieve it."
With that, it took out two boxes.
The Demon Kings were overjoyed at the sight and stepped forward to receive them, the Undying Phoenix being the first to open the first box, which contained an elixir.
"This is a Potential Pill, you know its effects," the Black Qilin said.
The Undying Phoenix was overjoyed upon hearing this.
A Potential Pill is a rare elixir, capable of rapidly stimulating one’s potential without any side effects.
The Undying Phoenix immediately understood its intent; although there is only one, if they targeted a key opponent in the arena, it would make dealing with the rest much easier.
"This box..." the Undying Phoenix opened the second box, but upon opening it, it found a slip of paper on top, with a precise location written on it.
"This is...." the Undying Phoenix looked at the Black Qilin.
"You’ll find out when you get there," the Black Qilin said mysteriously, then left.
The Undying Phoenix and the other Demon Kings exchanged glances but decided to take a look.
This location was not far from Celestial Realm Mountain, even within it, but it was underground rather than on the surface.
For the Demon Beasts, digging was not a difficult task.
Soon they dug several hundred meters deep and discovered a coffin.
"A Human Race’s..."
The Undying Phoenix frowned.
The Demon Race does not typically use coffins after their death; why did the peerless Demon King want them to find this coffin?
"Let’s open it first," suggested the Dragon Scorpion King beside them.
The Undying Phoenix nodded, but as they touched the coffin, they immediately realized it was different—there were seals on it.
These seals were not strong, and for the Demon Kings, quite simple.
In the end, the Undying Phoenix used Breath of Flames to break the seals on the coffin.
Crack~~
The Dragon Scorpion King impatiently opened the coffin lid, and the next moment all the Demon Kings were stunned at the scene.
Lying inside was a small-sized demon beast, resembling a dragon’s head, with jaws split up to the ears and tusks inscribed with runic symbols.
While the demons were puzzled about what type of demon beast this was, the next moment it opened its eyes.
Its left eye was the "Sun Devouring Red Eye," and the right was the "World Burning Red Eye," which looked extremely frightening.
Its level was only 48, but the Undying Phoenix and others felt the suppression of its bloodline.
Finally, a knowledgeable Demon King shouted:
"Ancient Magical Beast, Red-Eyed Beast!?"
.....
The words startled all the Demon Kings.
In this world where there are Immortals, naturally, there are also Demons.
But a long time ago, magical beasts had disappeared.
The difference between magical beasts and Immortal Beasts is that magical beasts are born with a demon body, they live on blood regardless of their race.
What the Undying Phoenix felt was the pressure of the demon body.
When the Red-Eyed Beast awoke, it opened its fangs, looking at the Demon Kings without any fear.
Then a voice came from the Void:
"I grant you a second life, make sure to cherish it."
The Red-Eyed Beast felt the immense pressure and finally relented.
The Undying Phoenix and the other Demon Kings swallowed hard; they were not afraid of the Red-Eyed Beast because their levels were higher.
But the voice just now made them extremely apprehensive.
Because the source of that voice was the peerless Demon King.
At this moment, the Undying Phoenix and others had many questions in their minds.
Where did this suddenly appearing peerless Demon King come from?
And how did it know an Ancient Magical Beast, the Red-Eyed Beast, was buried here?
But these questions only briefly flashed through their minds; the most important thing now was to win the Celestial Realm Mountain Tournament.
With the assistance of the Red-Eyed Beast and a Potential Pill, the Demon Race’s chances of ultimately seizing victory should not be difficult.
.....
Lin Chen’s popularity soared in recent days, so he had to avoid the spotlight temporarily.
The Big White Bear seemed relieved of its mental burdens and slept much better these days; Lin Chen saw this and was delighted.
Perhaps due to its relaxed mood, the Big White Bear’s skill levels improved the day after the competition:
[Eight Desolates Battle Bear]
[Level: 34]
[Divine Enlightenment: Combat Law]
[Law Level: Level 1]
[Law Body: War Spirit Bear Body]
[Passive Skills: Battle Intent Sensing]
[Skill 1: Bear Axe (Bear Paw) Unity (Perfection)]
[Skill 2: Void Breaking Step (Perfection)]
[Skill 3: War Soul Condensation (Mastery)]
[Skill 4: Heavenly Law Axe (Mastery)]
When Lin Chen saw this, he was dumbfounded.
All of the Big White Bear’s skills leveled up, something that had never happened with Xiaobai or Xiao Hong.
The Little Fox sulked after finding out, feeling dejected...
Not out of jealousy, but genuine envy.
The Little Fox loved upgrading and hated cultivating skills, wishing its skills would max out quickly.
But skills are the hardest to level, and cultivating Heart-Burning Fire Control requires rigorous training.
Though surprised, Lin Chen felt it was only natural.
The diligence of the Big White Bear was second only to Xiaobai’s; in fact, the bull and the bear were on par, spending significant time on skill cultivation, but the Big White Bear’s breakthrough had been somewhat slow.
This time, all levels increased by one, which was reasonable.
"How’s your Anomalous Fire fusion going?" Lin Chen asked, glancing at the Little Fox staring blankly nearby.
The Little Fox stuck out its tongue and made a noise.
Its Anomalous Fire fusion was not going smoothly, even though its Heart-Burning Fire Control skill was at Perfection Level.
Fusing a double skill with Dual Anomalous Fire is a long and arduous journey.
Time flew by, and three days passed in a blink. The seventh round of the Celestial Realm Mountain Tournament was about to begin.
On that day, many from the Human Race, having heard of the sixth-round results, came in droves, eager to witness Lin Chen’s dual beasts in action and to see Yin Changsheng’s invincibility and Jie Tian’s true form.
So when Lin Chen arrived on the scene, the crowd erupted, and the Big White Bear stood proudly, experiencing for the first time what Xiaobai had felt before.
With Lin Chen’s help, they were continually becoming stronger.
What they could give back to Lin Chen was to fight for him, defeating every opponent before him.
Unexpectedly, before the competition began that day, Yin Shi and the Undying Phoenix appeared together, looking as if they had something to say.
Indeed, after the crowd quieted, Yin Shi was the first to speak:
"Fellow Human compatriots, following our agreement with the Demon Race, we have reached a unified decision."
"Today is the seventh round of the Celestial Realm Mountain competition, and it will also be the last round."
