Long Live Summons

Chapter 870: Black Tides of Death

When the Reaper Mantis bathed in the light of the rewards of the Law, the audience was full of joy.

The Eagle King lost control of his voice as it asked repeatedly, stammering, “You-you… how did you do it?”

Yue Yang didn’t answer and only gave a smile.

How should he explain it?

Was Yue Yang going to tell it that he had read similar topics in the books on Interesting Mathematics and World Numerical Mathematics before traversing worlds? Besides, with his knowledge inheritance and the wisdom of the Supreme Realm, solving these problems were practically in the grasp of his fingertips.

Because the beasts and the residents were too chaotic and hyped up, Yue Yang had to return to the Grimoire World for a moment for some tranquil silence.

This way, they could also have time to vent their excitement.

Otherwise, if this goes on, they would probably turn crazy in no time,

The most important thing was that the Reaper Mantis, who had basked in the Law’s rewards of the Stone Pushing Field, was granted the spiritual enlightenment ‘Glorious Light of the God’ and was going to evolve. She needed an adaptation time to integrate the newly developed wisdom and to process the newly awakened abilities. With the reincarnation of the Beast Valley, her evolution to a Holy Beast and the Shower of Light, the Reaper Mantis felt the luckiest at the moment since her birth.

The eggs of her many siblings had failed to hatch, and only she had successfully hatched.

Originally, with her aptitude, she could not be sanctified into a Holy Beast.

Even if Yue Yang tried his best to help her cultivate.

However, at her most difficult time, she ushered in the happiest moments of her life. She entered the Beast Valley and was reborn. With a new start, all the progress she had made before turned into potential. Paired with her master’s dedicated nurturing, becoming a Holy Beast after entering the Beast Valley was only a matter of ‘when’.

Actually, it turned out that the first person Yue Yang wanted to train in the Beast Valley was not her, but the Spirit of Fire and Smoke.

But because of the incident in the Desire Valley, the Spirit of Fire and Smoke fell into a deep slumber after absorbing ample amounts of Divine Power of Calamity and the energy of the realm itself. Only then, did this opportunity knock on her doorstep and create an entirely new ‘her’!

If this isn’t luck, then what is it?

When the Reaper Mantis fell into a short sleep, her small face was still covered with tears of joy, similar to a sheer white Jasmine flower accented with drops of dew.

In the Beast Valley, Pushing Stone Field.

Some of the beasts and residents have already left to return to their Lords.

Most of them stayed in place, talking about all sorts of emotion-evoking miracles that had occured. What surprised them most was none other than the fact that Yue Yang actually announced the answer in public. Although there was only one reward for the Light of Wisdom and the Glorious Light of the God and that was already obtained by the Reaper Mantis, it would be impossible for the other beasts to get the same reward. But even so, the announcement of this answer has sated thousands of years of regret of the challengers that failed previously. At the very least, they were now aware of the answer. For future challengers, they could use this piece of information as a business preposition as well— to sell it for the right price and exchange it for what they desired.

It doesn’t matter if there would no longer be a reward as it was still necessary to pass the test.

With the answer in hand, there was no need to worry about stating a price.

Just as the beasts and the residents were enthusiastically studying the answers disclosed by Yue Yang, a group of dark clouds floated in the sky, enveloping the sky in darkness all of a sudden.

“What?”

The Eagle King and the Poisonous Queen Bee stopped their research at the same time.

Even someone dim-witted would know that this was not a good occurrence.

They raised their heads and looked to the sky.

The Poisonous Queen Beescanned the audience, trying to find any indication of something going wrong.

The Human-Faced Tiger clenched its fists as its eyes revealed a fierce look, “This is very similar to Ji Wu Ri’s ‘Arrival of the Black Sun’. It seems to be the guys from the Central Palace!”

The Eagle King was stunned, “But Ji Wu Ri has left. Not only him, but even Zhong Hua has also left.”

The Human-Faced Tiger sneered, “They did leave, but there are still two Palace Masters, Ran Feng and Wan Mo. Eagle and Bee, don’t you two realize what this is? It was a premeditated attack!”

“What you’re saying is…someone wants to attack us?” The Poisonous Queen Bee frowned.

“Who is it?” The Eagle King was stunned.

“Who’s not here?” The Human-Faced Tiger gritted its teeth and grunted, “Today is the day of witnessing a miracle occurring in the Pushing Stone Field. None of the Three Chiefs of the residents came to watch and there are only three of us among the Beast Kings. To be honest, I was a little hesitant initially and I always felt that something was amiss. When the level was cleared without any resistance, I became even more weary. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be this way. As soon as Yue Tai Tan and his beast left, those of us who wanted to ally with him had fallen into a cunning trap…”

“You mean the Lion King? I don’t think so. It is conservative and never really had the ambition to expand its influences!” The Eagle King still couldn’t believe it.

“The Lion King is indeed a conservative being, but it wouldn’t blatantly watch us rise in power. Today, even if this matter does not involve it directly, things must have been tacitly agreed upon. We are in trouble. If we don’t cooperate sincerely, I believe we will become the energy improvement sources for the humans of the Central Palace!” The Human-Faced Tiger portrayed a solemn expression.

“Let’s talk about it, what do you want to do?” The Poisonous Queen Bee decided to listen to the Human-Faced Tiger’s opinion.

“Can’t we have everyone evacuate immediately?” The Eagle King was shocked.

“If it were you, would you set a big trap to enclose the enemy and then make it easy for the enemy to escape? The sky is already dyed black, and that would be Ji Wu Ri’s ‘Black Sun Beast’. He didn’t take it away, but left it to Ran Feng and Wan Mo… If it weren’t for that, would the Lion King be nowhere to be found? And if it weren’t for that, would the Toad King afford to act arrogantly?” The extremely intelligent Human-Faced Tiger immediately caught the point of the problem.

“Good!”

Behind a distant rock, an ugly big head appeared.

And it was none other than the King Toad.

Even if he had died once in the Battle-Beast Shells, he retained his status as a resident and had one more chance to live as a human. Just like what the Human-Faced Tiger had said, he was very domineering and arrogant. He stood on top of his toad’s head and clapped his palms vigorously, “As expected of the smartest Human-Faced Tiger, getting to the root of the issue in one go!”

Seeing the King Toad appear, many of the beasts and residents turned pale with fright.

This toad wasn’t all that terrifying.

The most threatening part was Ji Wu Ri’s beast, Black Sun. Just to cultivate this beast of his, no one actually knew how many beasts and residents he had killed to accomplish that sole purpose.

If the people in the Central Palace really have joined forces with the Toad King with him leading the way, the Beast Valley will probably be involved in another bloody war.

The Toad King waved his hands vigorously, “All of you can scram, I’m not interested in fighting with you small fries!”

As soon as the beasts and the residents heard of such amnesty, they immediately flew up and fled in embarrassment in all directions, eager to grow another two legs to aid their escape.

Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel were smart, however. After hearing the conversation between the Human-Faced Tiger and the Eagle King, they realized that the situation was bad. They saw all the beasts running away defeatedly, so they immediately shouted, “Don’t panic, that’s the enemy’s strategy to defeat us by breaking us apart. If you want to survive, you must stay by the side of the three leaders in unity and join hands with them to resist the enemy. Otherwise, it would be impossible to resist the Black Sun with our personal strength alone. With the Toad King leading the way, where exactly can we escape?”

Hearing the shouts of the two, the somewhat sensible beasts and residents all understood.

Many people immediately returned to Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel’s sides.

Some were hesitating.

Most of the beasts and residents still believed in the words of King Toad more, intending to take advantage of this chaotic opportunity to escape with their lives.

The dark clouds receded.

A huge Black Sun appeared, shining with a very strange and terrifying black light. This is not the real sun, but the Battle-type Beast Black Sun that was cultivated by Ji Wu Ri.

Black Sun: Level 8 Heaven Rank. It is a special and giant Battle-beast that has a round spherical shape of 5,000 meters in circumference. It is capable of operating alone, absorbing all energy rays and possesses a combat height of 10,000 meters. Within the same body, accompanied by the Level 5 Heaven Ranked ‘Dark Cloud’ special auxiliary type Battle-Beast, it has several special effects— Weathering, Drought, Scorched Earth, Light of Death, Sun-Shielding Dark Clouds, Energy Absorbing Light Wave, Black TIdes of Death, Blood Tears and Rain Flowers.

The terrifying Black Sun, of course, could not have been cultivated in the Beast Valley within just a few months.

Even Ji Wu Ri could not do it.

In fact, this was not the first time he had set foot in the Beast Valley. He had entered the trial ground many times before he intercepted and killed Captain Cook who opposed the Central Palace. Black Sun was the Battle-Beast he cultivated when he first entered. After thousands of years of growth, it had finally reached the terrifying 8th Level of the Heaven Rank.

Although it was not a growth of wisdom, nor did it become a Holy Beast, it had infinitely accumulated enough strength to be considered invincible in the Beast Valley.

Of course, among the many beasts that Ji Wu Ri possessed, it was only the weakest one.

In order to protect the lives of his subordinates and allow Ran Feng and Wan Mo to pass the levels smoothly, Ji Wu Ri left it with them.

“Crackle, crackle…” The Black Sun suddenly emanated an extremely dazzling black light.

The terrifying light had completely flooded the skies and the Earth. No one was able to open their eyes, but even if they could, it was no different than struggling to see anything like a blind person.

Thousands of beams of light shot out from the surface of the Black Sun.

The beasts were fleeing everywhere in panic. They knew that should one strand of black light come into contact with them, they would die agonisingly.

Less than half of them could avoid the ‘Black Tide of Death’ attack of the Black Sun.

Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel avoided several beams of light in a row. The slow-moving Rhinoceros had its tail cut off by the beam of light before it vaporized and disappeared. There was no possibility of resisting them. Had it not been for the Bobcat to push the Rhinoceros away from the most critical juncture or the response timings of Ryoma and Sickle Weasel, the rhino would have been killed on the spot just now. The Black Tides of Death that erupted from the Black Sun was not something that the military could play defense for.

A Battle-Beast of the 8th Level of the Heaven Rank could easily kill the beasts in the Beast Valley in seconds, let alone a super-giant special type of beast like the Black Sun.

Of course, Battle-Beasts like the Black Sun that are able to kill the entire audience upon arrival was a rare occurrence in the Heaven Realm too…

It was cultivated by Ji Wu Ri himself.

Natural born abilities are so extraordinary!

“If you think you can kill us in this way, that would be ridiculous!” The Eagle King was angry. Who wouldn’t have a trick or two up their sleeves? It was still a Beast King after all.

“Really? I know, Eagle King. You have good strength, but if you think for a moment that this is my trump card, then you are wrong! Please come out— the trap has been laid, the prey is already here so please enjoy this feast of death to your heart’s content,” The Toad King bowed respectfully.

In front of him, a dozen more shadows appeared out of nowhere.
