Chapter 298: Four Divine Beasts, Putting A Leash On Them

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There were no humans, no Beast People, no t.i.tans, and no Fairies!

Instead, Magical Beasts were the only creatures there! And there was an infinite number of them!

The astonis.h.i.+ng thing was that these Magical Beasts were much stronger than those in Heaven’s Vault Continent and Light Continent. Even Saint Domain and half-deity Magical Beasts lived lives worse than even a dog’s there.

On top of that, there were almost 100 divine beasts!

One must admit that the Magical Beasts on G.o.ds-Demons Continent had astounded Meng Lei. There was an astonis.h.i.+ng number of Saint Domain Magical Beasts, innumerable half-deity Magical Beasts, and even almost 100 divine beasts there.

Furthermore—and most importantly—there was even a divine beast that rivaled an intermediate deity there. Now, that was astonis.h.i.+ng!

Why would an intermediate deity-level divine beast continue to stay on this existential plane? Could it be that it hadn’t yet been 10,000 years since it became an intermediate deity? What kind of joke was that!?

“Do you see the G.o.ds-Demons Continent’s fearsomeness for yourself now?”

Dodola said with a slight smile, “Aside from the Tower of Time, the G.o.ds-Demons Continent is definitely this existential plane’s biggest secret.”

Meng Lei asked in disbelief, “Dodola, what kind of secret does the G.o.ds-Demons Continent exactly hold? Why are the Magical Beasts there so strong? Their strength is practically beyond any reason or logic!

“Why? Because of the two words ‘G.o.ds’ and ‘demons’!”

Dodola explained, “More than 20,000 years ago, innumerable G.o.ds and demons suddenly descended upon this existential plane and started a war that swept through the whole continent.”

“G.o.ds and demons descended upon the existential plane? Why?”

Meng Lei looked stupefied.

“I don’t know.”

Dodola shook its head. “There were originally also humans and other races on G.o.ds-Demons Continent, but they all perished in that war between the G.o.ds and demons. In the end, only a handful of lucky Magical Beasts managed to survive.

“After the war, Magical Beasts became the biggest beneficiaries of the war. They devoured the G.o.ds and demons’ remains and seized their a.s.sets and divine cores, resulting in their power receiving a terrifying boost within a short period of time.”

“I see.”

Realization dawned upon Meng Lei. Living conditions didn’t differ much from continent to continent when everyone was all on the same existential plane. Therefore, it was impossible that such a great difference in strength would happen. As it turned out, it was actually all because of the war between the G.o.ds and demons.

“More than 20,000 years have gone by, but there should still be a great number of G.o.ds and demons remains on G.o.ds-Demons Continent. You can go over and take a look if you’re interested.”

Dodola smiled and said, “Who knows, maybe you’ll find some good stuff.”

Meng Lei nodded slightly. “I’d still have headed over and taken a tour around the G.o.ds-Demons Continent even if there weren’t any G.o.ds and demons remains there. This existential plane is my turf, after all.”

“Yeah!”

Dodola didn’t offer any further response after that, and its voice faded away very quickly.

Meng Lei then turned to his subordinates and said, “All of you are to speed up the migration process. At the same time, you must also protect the teleportation magic circle in the Far Northern Icelands. Nothing must go wrong!”

“Yes, Master!”

His subordinates bowed affirmatively.

“Alright, get down to work!”

Meng Lei dismissed them with a wave. Then, he began to take a tour around the imperial palace with Ol’ Amos in tow. Ol’ Amos had stayed in the imperial palace during the last two days. It was only on the third day that he finally left and departed for Dragon Island.

Apart from Ol’ Amos’ younger sister Amolin, everyone else on Dragon Island was a human genius.

By the Meng Lei Empire’s stipulations, Saint Domain experts were allowed to enter Dragon Island, the Divine t.i.tan Temple, and other half-planes where laws of nature were distinct and magic elements were rich to cultivate.

Amolin was currently the only Dragon on Dragon Island. Thus, the so-called Dragon Island actually only existed in name now.

After Ol’ Amos’ departure, Meng Lei went to G.o.ds-Demons Continent by himself, intending to take a good look around.

Located to Heaven’s Vault Continent’s southeast, G.o.ds-Demons Continent was much vaster in territory than Heaven’s Vault Continent. On top of that, the whole continent was fully covered in forests and undoubtedly boasted the three continents’ best living environment on the existential plane.

Meng Lei floated in the air above G.o.ds-Demons Continent. His divine cognition spread into the surroundings like tidal waves, shrouding the whole continent within as he began to inspect it properly.

Meng Lei made a discovery after a mere minute of inspection.

“There’s something out of the norm over there!”

Meng Lei came to the area above a basin. The basin was as though a gigantic bowl embedded in an endless sea of forests.

Lush and luxuriant vegetation filled the basin, the woods inside even denser and lusher than those outside. Additionally, several lesser deity-level divine beasts had also occupied the basin’s central region.

“The magic elements in the basin are far richer than those in the outside world. In particular, the magic elements in the central region are even as dense as solids. It must be because of that thing in the underground!”

Meng Lei’s eyes gleamed as he made a grabbing motion in the air. A huge intangible claw flew out of nowhere and grabbed at the basin’s central region, pa.s.sing right through the ground upon contact.

It went 60,000 meters underground before finally coming to a stop. Then, it grabbed forcefully at it!

Boom!

Amid a great explosion, the ground within five kilometers of the area began to shake violently as though an earthquake had broken out. Then, it started to rise into the air slowly.

One meter, two meters, three meters...

Earth and soil were tossed everywhere as trees and branches snapped and broke.

“What’s going on?”

The huge commotion alarmed the Magical Beasts in the basin. The four lesser deity-level divine beasts, in particular, even took to the sky and began to inspect the area, upon which they noticed the basin’s central region that had risen into the air, as well as the culprit of all these—Meng Lei.

The four divine beasts flew into a thundering fury at once.

The basin was their den, but Meng Lei was actually making trouble there! Wasn’t this tantamount to bearding the lion in its den?

He was going too far!

There were some things that one could tolerate and some things that one couldn’t!

“You lowly worm, how dare you act so presumptuously here! Die!”

The four divine beasts were respectively the Five-Colored Sacred Bull, the Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolf, the Rainbow Wood Toad, and the Great Earth Bear.

Despite not having transformed into their true forms, they stood at 1,000-feet-tall. Terrifying divine power spread into the surroundings, crus.h.i.+ng down on all areas around them and sweeping through heaven and earth.

All the Magical Beasts in the basin prostrated on the ground in fear, frightened to the extreme as they shook like leaves.

They simply couldn’t understand—why had the four great kings suddenly gone into a rage for no reason?

“Die!”

Four attacks—a five-colored deluge, countless wind blades, wooden vines that looked like poisonous snakes, and thundering sound waves—imbued with surging power of divinity swept brazenly toward Meng Lei.

They moved with fierce momentum and blotted out the sky.

As though great mountains crus.h.i.+ng down on someone, they were capable of destroying everything.

The corners of Meng Lei’s lips curled upward in response. He reached out a finger, tapped the air, and commanded, “Freeze!”

Buzz...

A mysterious wave of energy spread outward, instantly locking down the air within 100 miles of where they were. The fearsome attacks also froze in mid-air and became still and motionless.

“Disperse!”

The four attacks dispersed with a loud boom upon command, turning into countless glowing particles that dissipated in the air.

“What?”

“How can this be?!”

“d.a.m.n it!”

“He’s neutralized our attacks so easily?”

The four divine beasts were flabbergasted. One must know that they were lesser deity-level divine beasts. Although those attacks had been launched casually and without much thought, they weren’t attacks that one could easily just neutralize.

“Who exactly is he?”

“I don’t know who he is!”

“Never seen him before!”

“Not sure!”

Just as alarm and doubt filled the four divine beasts, four green vines grew rapidly from Meng Lei and turned into poisonous snakes that shot toward the divine beasts.

“It’s coming!”

Not daring to be careless, the four divine beasts were about to counterattack right away when something that shocked and horrified them happened. Their bodies... They couldn’t move!

“d.a.m.n it!”

“What exactly is going on?”

“d.a.m.n! Move! Hurry, mov—”

Blood drained from the four divine beasts’ faces. They struggled fiercely and tried to move, but it was all in vain. They simply couldn’t move no matter what they did.

“Misbehaving? I’ll put a leash on you, then!”

Four vines shot toward them at lightning-quick speed, winding around the divine beasts’ necks along with the momentum and restricting them.
