“The natural enemy of beastmen, these Abyss Magical Beasts have a very strange origin. They can devour the innate power of beastmen. Once there is a sign of them emerging, they must be killed immediately. They must not be allowed to spread, otherwise, it will bring a catastrophe to the beastmen of the Eastern Continent. Once the Eastern Continent falls, the fall of other continents will only be a matter of time.”
Si Ye added, "It just so happens that I have also encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation and want to use this to break through it. Maybe I can break through to the Emperor Rank in one fell swoop."
Sang Luo stared at him with wide eyes. Emperor Rank? That won't do!
During the days she spent with Aze, Sang Luo discovered that her cultivation had also encountered a bottleneck—she couldn't refine the power of Emperor Rank beastmen; her limit was the peak of the King Rank.
If Sang Luo wanted to reach the peak of the King Rank, she would either have to take down two peak King Rank beastmen in one go, or have a child with a peak King Rank male beast.
Even in the Eastern Continent, peak King Rank beastmen are rare among beasts. Most of them are old fellows over a thousand years old, and they already have partners. Their appearance and personality may not be to her liking… Finding Si Ye, who has outstanding talent, was already a stroke of luck. Sang Luo didn't think she could meet a second one.
Sang Luo had to figure out how to take down Si Ye and get pregnant before he advanced to the Emperor Rank.
Si Ye… doesn't seem to be enthusiastic about having children.
Very difficult.
Forget it, she'll put the child aside for now and focus on taking him down first.
Sang Luo had been blown by the wind all day and was covered in dust. Fortunately, no matter how simple the guest room was, it had a standard bathroom.
After taking a shower, Sang Luo took a towel, changed into a white bathrobe, and came out.
Si Ye was sitting in a chair looking at a map. Hearing the movement, he looked up.
At that glance, his eyes were fixed, unable to move away.
Sang Luo was wearing a snow-white bathrobe, revealing her fair collarbone. Her calves were slender and delicate.
She was wiping her hair with a towel. Her half-wet, dark hair fell on her shoulders and neck. Her soft, white cheeks were flushed with heat. Her eyebrows and eyes flowed with charm. A faint fragrance wafted over, enough to arouse the instinctive desire of any male beastman.
“…” As Si Ye watched, his face slowly turned red, and the sound of his heartbeat in his chest was loud and clear.
Sang Luo looked at him, "Si Ye?"
"You, you rest first, I'll go out for a while."
He came back to his senses, stood up from the chair with a "whoosh," not even noticing the scroll falling to the ground. He turned to leave, but Sang Luo hugged his strong waist from behind, "Do you remember what I said during the day? I'm serious."
The young man's body stiffened, his handsome face instantly turning red, but he didn't break free from her. There's hope!
Just as Sang Luo was wondering if she should give him another strong dose, Si Ye's aura sharpened. He turned around, pushed her onto the bed, and pinned her hands down, "…Wait a minute, don't move yet."
"Huh?"
Sang Luo smelled his scent and caught a glimpse of a dark shadow flashing past the window. She vaguely heard screams outside.
Si Ye wrapped her up in the quilt like a zongzi, using his body to block the view from the window, "You sleep peacefully, don't go out. I'll be right back."
After saying that, he waved his hand to set up a barrier and teleported away.
Sang Luo didn't dare to move and looked out the window again. The dark shadow had disappeared.
She released her mental power.
The peaceful and serene inn during the day was now littered with corpses inside and out. Those beastmen from other guest rooms who overestimated themselves and tried to investigate the truth were all dead. A huge hole was torn in their chests, as if they had been hollowed out directly by beast-like claws, and all their energy beast crystals had been dug out.
Nearby, several beastmen in black cloaks were standing. They were likely the Abyss Magical Beasts Si Ye had mentioned.
The shopkeeper and the waiters had long since run away. It seemed they weren't good people either.
How could there still be an inn open in such a desolate city?
Before long, Sang Luo saw one of the men in black teleport to the third floor, stop at her door, and hold a bloody sharp knife in his hand. The cold light was chilling as he gently knocked on the wooden door.
“Excuse me, are you two resting? The shop has prepared some supper and drinks. I'll come in and put them on the table first…”
…
Si Ye chased straight out of the city and killed a beastman with one sword. The corpse turned into a cloud of black gas. He reached out and caught the fallen black crystal nucleus, immediately crushing it with force.
In the forest, countless more dark shadows pounced over. In a short moment, he had annihilated them all.
“Who are you, Your Excellency? Why do you disturb our plans?” From the shadows, a low, hoarse voice appeared, difficult to discern the direction.
“Don’t talk so much nonsense when you’re dead.”
Si Ye disappeared from the spot in an instant, accurately finding the location where the person was hiding. The sword light flowed like fire, incomparably domineering!
The beastman hurriedly dodged, but was still hit in the arm by the sword. He immediately transformed into a cloud of black mist, rushing towards Si Ye like a vengeful ghost, “You ignorant brat, seeking death! This king will grant your wish!”
“Lih!” A earth-shattering phoenix cry rang out, and the fire phoenix blazed, instantly illuminating the entire night.
Si Ye soared into the sky, spitting out a ball of blazing fire, instantly devouring the black mist.
The beastman was forced back into his original form and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Seeing that the situation was not good, he hugged his arms and fled in panic.
Si Ye also flew down to the ground. He wanted to chase after him directly, but his steps paused as he picked up a discarded token on the ground.
The Tengyun Heavenly Serpent pattern engraved on it… The Teng Serpent Clan?
How could the Teng Serpent Clan be involved with Magical Beasts?
“Si Ye!”
Sang Luo also rushed over anxiously.
Si Ye quickly took two steps forward, shielding her behind him, and said in a deep voice, “It’s very dangerous here. Why did you come over?”
Sang Luo put her hand on her chest, still having lingering fears, “After you left just now, a Magical Beast disguised as a waiter tried to attack me. It was instantly strangled by the formation you set up, but I was still very scared, so I ran out to find you. I saw so many corpses when I came out…” She grabbed his hand and added, “It’s still safer to be with you.”
She wanted to see what these Abyss Magical Beasts really were.
Si Ye put the token into his space and held her hand back, “Don’t be afraid.”
Sang Luo felt his slender, hot hand and her heart stirred.
Si Ye once again transformed into his beast form, taking Sang Luo straight into the sky. Under the night, the huge fire phoenix was like a blazing sun, sweeping away the darkness.
Sang Luo lay on his back, able to overlook the mountains and forests below.
Countless Star Beasts lurked within, watching with fierce eyes.
These Star Beasts seemed different from the ones she usually saw. Their eyes were bloodshot, their bodies were surrounded by black gas, and they roared madly at the sky.
Many frenzied high-level birds and beasts launched aerial attacks, with extremely strong attack power.
“These are Star Beasts that have been artificially demonized.”
Si Ye eliminated these birds and beasts and spat out flames below, reducing countless Star Beasts to ashes.
According to the information he had collected before, Si Ye determined that the source of this Magical Beast outbreak was in Yunhua City in the south.
He took Sang Luo all the way to the south.
An energy barrier pierced straight into the sky, encompassing the heavens and the earth, isolating all directions.
Sang Luo was shocked when she looked at it from afar, and even more astonished when she looked at it up close. Such a massive and terrifying isolation formation could definitely not have been set up by one person, and even her space teleportation could not be used.
Si Ye's phoenix wings shook, and the formation seemed to dissolve a gap, just enough to accommodate his beast body. In a few seconds, he quickly passed through the formation, and the formation returned to its original state.
Sang Luo was surprised, "How did you do that?"
“My phoenix body has an innate power, the destruction of all things.”
