Chapter 6389: Divine Beast Flood Dragon

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Once someone stepped into the Dao Master realm, they would soar to great heights. At that point, they wouldn’t need to remain with the Blood Demon Guards anymore. They could stand on equal footing with the Ancestor and serve the Two-faced Buddha directly.

“You sure know how to talk! No wonder the Ancestor values you!” teased the Azure Scale expert.

The three of them chatted casually as they drank.

Before long, the conversation turned to the current collaboration with the Beast-taming Sect.

“I’m not too sure about the specific details, but when I came, the Sect Master actually lent me their prized divine beast!” Wu Taidou revealed with a mysterious glint in his eyes.

The Azure Scale expert exclaimed in surprise, “Brother Taidou, don’t fool me! A divine beast is comparable to a Dao Master. Would your Sect Master really lend it to you?”

“I’ve heard that the Beast-taming Sect currently has four divine beasts, each in the hands of True Immortals at the forty-nine step level. However, the soul imprint belongs to the Sect Master, so it’s not unusual for them to lend them out,” Ji Ye True Immortal nodded faintly.

A divine beast was a treasure wherever it was.

It could be considered a Special Life Form among the demon race.

Its life level alone was a thousand times higher than that of a normal being.

Back in the Crimson Eyes Realm, it wasn’t unusual for life levels to reach five thousand times higher, but that was because of Immortal Jiu Chen’s presence.

His knowledge was vast. As the True Spirit of the Divine Fire Hall, he controlled many of the formations and inheritances left behind by previous masters of divine fire.

That’s how he was able to create a heaven-defying soul-advancement grand formation.

However, in the Ancient Domain World, increasing one’s life level was extremely difficult.

First, one needed Ancient Demon blood.

And not just a small amount—massive quantities of Ancient Demon blood were necessary. The higher the life level, the larger the physical body, just like the divine body.

Back when Jian Wushuang had a divine power of one billion, his divine body was as massive as a universe.

His physical body was similar in size, and if he reached one billion times the life level, it would also rival the size of a universe.

One time the normal size was around nine feet tall. Ten times meant fifty feet, and a thousand times could reach five hundred feet.

It could get even bigger.

Thus, more blood was needed.

In the Ancient Domain World, there were very few beings whose life levels surpassed a thousand times.

After all, there were only so many Ancient Demons.

Most of them had been captured by the Ancient Court. The strong experts with higher life levels were also mostly in the Ancient Court.

Aside from those early experts, there were very few ways to increase one’s life level now, and even then, the limit was usually around a thousand times.

However, divine beasts were born with a thousand-times life level, which made them immensely powerful.

In the Beast-taming Sect, they were considered treasures on par with supreme artifacts and rarely revealed.

That Wu Taidou had managed to bring one out this time was truly astonishing.

“Brother Taidou, why don’t you show us that divine beast and let us take a closer look? Honestly, I’ve rarely seen one before, and even then, it was always from a distance!” Qinglin’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

Wu Taidou chuckled and waved his hand, revealing a cloth bag in his grasp.

It was a Beast Bag.

Inside was a space like a pocket dimension, capable of storing lifeforms.

Not only that, but the bag also contained a beast nest. Wu Taidou had spent a fortune having it custom-made by a specialist.

After careful management, he eventually developed it into a sizeable beast nest.

The divine beast resided within.

“Come out, Mo Jiao!” Wu Taidou commanded, and from the bag flew out a massive dark green flood dragon as thick as a barrel.

Its life force was overwhelmingly powerful, and its immortal strength had reached the Ninth Tribulation True Immortal level. However, being a divine beast, its combat power was likely comparable to a Dao Lord.

It could even rival the Blood River Patriarch.

As Qinglin and the True Immortal Ji Ye observed it up close, they both felt a tremendous pressure.

Swish!

After giving them a brief look, Wu Taidou quickly retracted the beast.

After all, the divine beast wasn’t his own; it was borrowed, so he couldn’t summon it at will. He was only permitted to use it in battle.

Showing it to these two was a matter of friendship.

“A flood dragon! Its life level must be at least 1,500 times higher!” Qinglin exclaimed in astonishment.

Since the flood dragon bore the character “dragon,” it was much stronger than ordinary divine beasts.

If it had been a true dragon, it would have rivaled Special Life Forms.

Wu Taidou proudly replied, “Of course, Mo Jiao carries the bloodline of a true dragon, giving it a higher and purer life level!”

He then changed the topic, “Speaking of which, I’m really curious about this. The sect master not only lent us a divine beast, but specifically Mo Jiao. What exactly is our Beast Master Sect’s deal with the Blood River Patriarch?”

“You don’t know?” Qinglin looked surprised.

Wu Taidou shook his head in confusion.

At this moment, True Immortal Ji Ye lowered his voice and said, “The Patriarch didn’t provide specifics, but it’s related to the Ancient Demons. A divine beast with a higher life level is required, though the exact purpose wasn’t explained.”

“What? It’s related to the Ancient Demons?” Wu Taidou’s eyes widened in disbelief.

He hadn’t expected such a collaboration.

He had assumed they were heading to some dangerous land for an adventure!

The Dual-Faced Divine Mansion often hosted such excursions, inviting strong cultivators to venture into perilous areas.

Typically, these ventures were done in cooperation with the local experts of the Dual-Faced Divine Mansion, and outsiders like him were just there to catch any benefits that came their way.

But this time, the mission was connected to the Ancient Demons.

What shocked Wu Taidou even more was that their sect master hadn’t even hinted at it.

The three fell silent as they broached the topic.

Just then, a command came from the Blood River Patriarch.

He summoned them to the Blood River Hall.

This hall was located at the source of the Blood River.

“Let’s go. Since the Patriarch has summoned us personally, it might be related to this matter!” Qinglin called out.

Wu Taidou nodded, and the three of them left the Blood Demon Hall together, flying toward the source of the Blood River.

Meanwhile, below them, a massive battle involving hundreds of cultivators suddenly erupted in the Asura Field.

The disturbance was significant enough to catch their attention.

They scanned the area with their thought power.

In just a moment, True Immortal Ji Ye sensed that something was amiss.

Qinglin and Wu Taidou didn’t pay much attention, only giving it a casual glance. But True Immortal Ji Ye noticed something unusual.

“Wait!” True Immortal Ji Ye stopped the other two, his eyes sharpening.

Though young, he was both bold and cautious.

He pointed toward the battle below and said, “Several of them don’t bear the mark of the Ascension Array. They’re likely powerful outsiders. Let me deal with it. You two go ahead to the Blood River Hall.”

“Alright, but make it quick!” Qinglin responded casually, waving his hand as he and Wu Taidou continued on their way.

After all, it was the Blood River Patriarch himself who had summoned them. They couldn’t wait for Ji Ye.

True Immortal Ji Ye’s eyes gleamed with killing intent as he looked down at the Asura Field.

This was his territory, and the cultivators in the field were all potential subordinates once they ascended.

Now, some outsiders had infiltrated, insulting him to his face.

“Fools courting death!”

True Immortal Ji Ye sneered as his figure descended into the Asura Field.

Within the battlefield below, a few powerhouses had been fighting absentmindedly, retreating as they battled.

Their retreat led them toward the edge of the Asura Realm.

This group of people was none other than Jian Wushuang and his companions.

To be honest, their luck had been quite good at the start.
