Chapter 3242: Beast King Surrenders

At that moment, a ferocious beast's roar drifted softly from near the exit.

All the ferocious beasts heard the roar, and their previously hesitant gazes instantly turned fierce. The beasts on both sides of the forest also appeared, surrounding the valley here, clearly unable to defeat him alone and about to start a group assault.

"Beast King?" Ye Liuyun scanned with his cross‑space Golden Pupil and Divine Sense, yet found no sign of the Beast King.

"Why does this sound seem familiar… Xuanwu, it's Xuanwu!"

Ye Liuyun felt he had heard this sound before, though it was rare. After a moment, he realized it was Xuanwu.

Xuanwu often hides and seldom acts, so his roar is not frequently heard. Only occasionally does Xuanwu roar at beasts within the Secret Realm, so Ye Liuyun had to think for a while before identifying the voice as Xuanwu's.

"No wonder I can't find the Beast King's figure. The peak Ninth Realm Xuanwu, I'm definitely unable to locate!"

Ye Liuyun reflected inwardly, then immediately communicated with Xuanwu and Shadow, asking them to come out and assist him—both to negotiate with the Beast King and to prevent a sudden ambush.

At that moment, the surrounding monster beasts charged forward; Ye Liuyun dared not rely on negotiations succeeding, so he brandished his sword and led the Martial Cultivators behind him to strike first, letting Xuanwu and Shadow negotiate with the Beast King.

He released his three Guardian God Seals to aid his fight and test their combat power. The First Clone summoned only a Thunderfire Black Vajra, while the Second Clone summoned only a Six‑Armed Furious‑Eyed Vajra; neither used a Guardian God Seal infused with toxin.

These solid Guardian God Seals, a hundred zhang tall, not only gave him a superior aura over the beasts but also proved stronger than his own body in combat; the Bloodline Power they emitted and the Divine Core attacks they launched made the beasts even harder to defend against.

Especially Ye Liuyun's own Guardian God Seal, clad in red armor and bathed in Golden Light; a swing of the Demon Slaying Sword could instantly cleave a beast.

However, the Martial Cultivators behind him were far weaker; many were knocked away by beasts at first contact. Yet they wore Void‑tier armor and weapons, allowing some to barely hold on.

Ye Liuyun also released the more than sixty late‑stage strongmen nearby, letting them be culled through combat with the beasts.

The numbers on both sides were now roughly equal, but after a short fight, Ye Liuyun's side was down to half, while the beasts' strength was clearly higher. If not for the Void‑tier armor and weapons, his people would have been wiped out long ago.

After fighting a while longer, only thirty‑something Martial Cultivators remained by Ye Liuyun's side, all having exhausted their True Essence and lacking combat power.

Meanwhile, on the beasts' side, under his and Magic Vine's slaughters, their numbers surprisingly matched theirs.

【8】 Luo Yu, watching the fierce battle from behind, couldn't help but think, "When did Ninth Realm strongmen become as cheap as ordinary soldiers!"

Luo Yu watched the grand and fierce battle from behind, and could not help but sigh in his heart: 'When did experts of the ninefold return become as worthless as ordinary soldiers!'

Yet for Ye Liuyun, it seemed as if he were deliberately weeding out the weaker Martial Cultivators.

At this point, Ye Liuyun gathered the remaining Martial Cultivators into the Space World, then suddenly released six thousand fully armed black‑armored elite soldiers.

All six thousand wore Void‑tier armor, wielded spears and shields, exuding killing aura, and forced the remaining beasts to retreat. caso

Even Luo Yu behind them felt the killing aura, widening her eyes in shock. The Demon Wolf trembled all over in fear.

"He carries so many strongmen with him… and they're all soldiers!"

Luo Yu swallowed, thinking perhaps only Ye Liuyun could do such a thing—using Ninth Realm strongmen as soldiers.

The reason Ye Liuyun released these elite troops was merely to cooperate with Xuanwu and Shadow. The two had found the Xuanwu Beast King here and were negotiating, but the Beast King doubted Ye Liuyun's ability to destroy them.

Ye Liuyun didn't want a mutually destructive clash, so he deployed all the elite troops. If the opponent still refused to surrender, he would have to slay all the beasts.

The Xuanwu Beast King hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to carry so many strongmen. On the beasts' side, their True Essence was also nearly depleted; continuing would surely lead to total annihilation.

Yet it was confident in its own strength. It told Xuanwu and Shadow, "What good is sheer numbers! I can directly kill your leader!"

At this moment, Ye Liuyun cooperatively released the nine Golden Dragons, encircling himself. The nine Void‑tier Fourth‑Grade Golden Dragon Puppets surrounded him, so even the Beast King's hidden strength could not approach Ye Liuyun.

The beasts were terrified and fled far away, daring not to charge again.

Ye Liuyun also sent a Transmission Voice to the two Xuanwu monster beasts: "Tell him the Secret Realm's Primordial Power has already been taken by me; staying here would be death for them."

If he surrenders to me, I can grant him a chance to become a monster, and also give him a cultivation method for True Essence so he can break through to the Taixu Realm. Otherwise, we will simply kill our way out, leave, and cause this Secret Realm to vanish completely.

Xuanwu and Shadow, at this point, were doing their utmost to persuade the Beast King, using both threats and temptations. The Beast King thought it over, realizing it could not harm Ye Liuyun, and it also saw the Primordial Power in Luo Yu's hand.

It also knew it had little choice, and finally agreed, revealing its form. At that moment, Ye Liuyun saw that, alongside it, two other Xuanwu beasts also manifested.

However, these Xuanwu's bloodlines were impure; their shells were not jet black but showed a faint brown. If their bloodlines were pure enough, Xuanwu and Shadow wouldn't have been able to locate them, nor would they have the right to negotiate.

Moreover, these three impure‑blood Xuanwu beasts only agreed to recognize Xuanwu and Shadow as masters, refusing to acknowledge Ye Liuyun as master. The other beasts could all be assigned to Ye Liuyun.

Regarding this, Ye Liuyun had no objection and agreed outright. He didn't mind the three somewhat impure‑blood beasts, leaving them under Xuanwu and Shadow's management was more convenient.

Thus Xuanwu took the three impure‑blood Xuanwu beasts back to the Space World to transform them. The other beasts were all marked with Slave Seals by Ye Liuyun and taken for use.

Then everyone and the beasts were individually returned to the Space World. Most beast corpses were collected by Ye Liuyun into the Space World. Magic Vine only devoured the beasts it had slain itself, while the other corpses he left for other monster beasts.

"Is that it? You've subjugated all those beasts?" caso

Luo Yu still felt she hadn't seen enough, never expecting Ye Liuyun to subjugate so many beasts. Now, Ye Liuyun's strength grew even further.

"What's wrong, still not satisfied with the spectacle?" Ye Liuyun laughed.

"Your power is that great, of course I want to see more!" Luo Yu said, laughing.
