Chapter 997: The Heavenly King Mobilizes

"So it wasn't that the Heavenly Dog didn't summon its subordinates to attack!"

"It's that all of its subordinates died here!"

They saw the Illusory Beasts lying everywhere in extremely gruesome states of death.

Everyone was greatly shocked.

Those creatures were all evil, blood-sucking type Illusory Beasts.

They were subordinates of the Golden-Pupil Heavenly Dog King.

In other words, subordinates of the God of Darkness.

They, the natives of Fengdu Ghost Domain,

knew very well how dangerous these creatures were.

"The number here is in the thousands, even tens of thousands!"

"All of them are King-rank Illusory Beasts!"

"And those Bloody Heavenly Dogs have bloodlines that have reached the terrifying King rank!"

"They all died here, on the '610' floor!"

"This is too terrifying!"

Looking at the gruesome scene before them,

everyone was horrified.

"Look at the miserable state of these creatures!"

"They didn't even wound each other!"

"And the other side didn't even leave any trace of an attack!"

"It's as if all these creatures died from some kind of trap!"

"But could these creatures really be that stupid?"

"To all fall into a trap and die?"

"Not a single one noticed anything wrong?"

A Beast Tamer voiced his doubt.

They had originally wanted to enter this castle to see if they could search for clues about how the Golden-Pupil Heavenly Dog King had actually died.

But!

After they came in,

they only discovered the subordinates of the Golden-Pupil Heavenly Dog King—they even!

They only saw these corpses lying here.

And there were no corpses of any other creatures around.

Nor were there any traces of a fight.

After Chen Xuan led the Iridescent Bubble Dragon away from this castle,

the consciousness Illusionary Realm inside the castle also completely vanished.

Therefore!

When the people from the three families—Jing Hong, the Ma family, and the Mao family—arrived here,

they only saw the scene before their eyes.

They didn't discover anything unusual.

But!

Precisely because of this!

It made them feel the matter was even more bizarre.

"Too bizarre!"

"Could it be that some other powerful existence wanted to devour the God of Darkness?"

They thought of one possibility!

In Fengdu Ghost Domain,

besides the God of Darkness,

there were several other powerful existences whose strength was comparable to the God of Darkness.

There were even legends of even more terrifying existences.

And whether it was them,

or the God of Darkness,

they were all a type of Illusory Beast.

And as ghost-type Illusory Beasts,

they could devour each other to strengthen themselves.

In other words,

they also coveted each other.

They could devour each other at any time,

absorbing even more powerful strength,

attempting to evolve into a higher existence. "There's this possibility!" "If that's the case!"

"Then we might have to face two Illusory Beasts as strong as the God of Darkness!" "Looks like we have to be very careful this time!" "If when the time comes, we can't defeat them!" "I'm afraid we'll have to deploy the Laozu Sect and the others!" A member of the Mao family said with a solemn face. "Looks like we need to prepare for both contingencies!" The others, hearing what that Beast Tamer had just said,

immediately nodded solemnly as well.
