Chapter 1492: Prerequisites for Dealing with the Elemental Lord

Akuisi really wants to die now.

Of course, he doesn't really want to die; he's actually afraid of death.

But being tortured by Xiao Feng like this is worse than death!

"I beg you, please stop chanting~"

He said while crying, without a trace of a God King's dignity.

"Just how terrifying is the Elemental Lord, to make you so wary?" Xiao Feng stopped chanting and asked.

Akuisi, bound limp by the spirit-locking chains, sighed: "He is an unstoppable natural disaster, the world's end, the end of time, the darkest existence in this world. He... killed all my friends."

"So, what level is he?" Xiao Feng asked.

Akuisi weakly said: "I don't know either; almost everyone who saw him died. That era has ended, only the Dragon Clan's emperor fled in fear, and besides that, there are no survivors."

"Hmm, one can imagine the war to exterminate the Ancient Gods was unprecedentedly grand." Xiao Feng somewhat understood.

The Soul Kingdom Lord told him the secret of the ancient era: the various clan God Kings united, and only then were they able to exterminate the strong ones of the Ancient God clan.

That war spread throughout the Yuan Su Shen Yu, its aftermath continuing to this day without end, and no clan has been able to return to its peak state.

Moreover, the Elemental Lord didn't die; the final result was merely mutual destruction.

The Ancient God clan left only the indestructible remnants of the Elemental Lord; the allied armies of the clans were almost completely wiped out, with only the terrified First Generation Dragon Emperor fleeing in disgrace.

"Don't mention him again; even if he returns, I don't want to show myself. Let me just sleep quietly here." Akuisi said with a pleading tone.

Xiao Feng asked him: "Why don't you leave the Yuan Su Shen Yu in your transformed state?"

He said: "My transformation technique is fragile; once I suffer three or more attacks, or perform a spatial transfer, it will break. If I take the initiative to attack, my true form will immediately be revealed."

Xiao Feng sighed.

No wonder Akuisi dares to do nothing, just lying here asleep, sleeping for a hundred thousand years at a stretch.

"Hurry up and leave; I also need to find another place to sleep." Akuisi urged him again to go.

At that moment, Xiao Feng suddenly had a flash of inspiration!

"Perhaps... I have a way to grant you an immortal body!" he said.

To get Akuisi to help, he had to rack his brains to persuade this God King.

If that really doesn't work... just attack him directly and break his transformed state.

However, this is the worst option; if the Ancient God King appears, we might still need the God King's help, and offending him thoroughly would be bad.

"What kind of method?" Akuisi asked instinctively.

Xiao Feng explained: "We adventurers have a feature to capture mounts; as long as you become my mount, even if you die you can be revived and won't truly die. Rest assured, I already have an eighth-rank spirit beast mount, so I have no designs on you. After this matter is settled, I will 'release' you and restore your freedom."

This was the most suitable method he could think of.

As long as we guarantee Akuisi won't die, he might help, and when the fight starts we might even gain an extra God King-level assistant.

However, Akuisi did not immediately agree.

He said: "The Supreme Rule tells me that after becoming an adventurer's mount, my realm cannot exceed the adventurer's. If I submit to you, I will fall back to the Lower-Tier Main God Realm, a loss too great."

"Uh..."

Xiao Feng hadn't noticed this rule.

A mount's level cannot exceed its owner's; Akuisi is at least level 1000, and if he submits, he would drop to level 515—a loss that is indeed significant.

But aside from this method, there is no other way.

Something like the Heart of the God Kingdom probably couldn't withstand an existence of the Elemental Lord's level.

Even Lu'erjia can break the Dragon Blood Heart; if the Elemental Lord goes all out, the entire God Kingdom continent would likely shatter into several large pieces.

"Senior, please think it over; I'm still reasonable and won't attack you unless absolutely necessary." Xiao Feng urged sincerely.

"You..."

Akuisi was about to cry.

This adventurer is too shameless; he's the kind of person one only meets after eight lifetimes of bad luck.

One side is the risk of exposing one's strength and attracting the Elemental Lord's attention.

The other side is the strength regressing to a Lower-Tier Main God.

It's just too hard for him!

Akuisi said sorrowfully: "I trained tens of thousands of years to reach this level of power; if I regress, I might as well just die."

Xiao Feng thought that seemed to be the case as well.

If he becomes a mount and his level drops, perhaps he wouldn't even attract the Ancient God King.

So it's still better to just use his original form!

He raised a finger, preparing to attack.

Akuisi shouted urgently: "Don't rush to attack! Are you planning to face an Ancestral God-level expert like this? Just you alone?"

"Exactly, I alone am enough." Xiao Feng replied.

Mainly because others can't help much either, and they're far away, unable to be summoned.

Akuisi shook his snake head violently, distrusting him, and said: "No, no, this is too unreliable. Take me to a place with many people; I've heard a secret: if we gather over a billion people, we can use the shared hatred Qi Luck Faith to shock that existence, preventing it from becoming incorporeal and entering the Void World. Otherwise, it could flee at any moment, and no matter how strong you are, you couldn't kill it."

"Uh, there's this setting too?"

Xiao Feng was stunned.

Becoming incorporeal, the Void World—this is indeed a method players cannot counter; even he can only drift aimlessly in the Void World, and others struggle just to survive.

A billion people... that population demand is a bit too terrifying; where could we find such numbers on short notice?

If we go back, Akuisi can't teleport, and it's not realistic either.

But Akuisi insisted: "You have to believe me! No matter what, you alone could never kill him; a single thought of his can escape into the Void World—this is an absolute gap in realm, and no amount of talent can make up for it!"

At this point he also realized he had no choice; he had to help Xiao Feng, otherwise if Xiao Feng hit him once, his true form would be exposed immediately, and he'd basically be done for.

Xiao Feng frowned and said: "Then you mean... I'll go call people?"

Akuis said: "I can go with you to the human world, as long as you can guarantee gathering at least 1 billion people."

Go back?

From here...

Xiao Feng opened the map and took a look.

From Waning Island returning to the Divine Kingdom Continent, the nearest Frozen Divine Kingdom is 32 million kilometers away.

At his current speed of 100,000 kilometers per hour, he would need to fly for 320 hours!

However, it seems there is no better alternative.

The chance to kill the ancient god only comes once; if Akuis is eaten, there won't be another god king for him to experiment on.

"Alright, then let's fly back!"

Xiao Feng agreed.

He could only miss Xiu Fu's abdication ceremony; together with Xiao Mi, he brought Akuis and flew for 320 hours to rush back.

If only Xiao Mi is left to escort Akuis, he wouldn't feel at ease; if that old god king suffers a broken bond and dies, killing his beloved little maid, he would regret it for a lifetime.

If no one follows, it's even more impossible; Akuis will definitely escape.

Thinking this, Xiao Feng used the Soul-Binding Rope to tie up Akuis and flew straight up into the sky.

"Xiao Mi, let's go home." He summoned the War Goddess over.

"Master, this little snake... could it be the god king you're looking for?" Xiao Mi widened their golden eyes, speaking in disbelief.

Xiao Feng helplessly said: "Yeah, the senior can't appear for now, and also can't teleport. We'll fly all the way back from here to the Frozen Divine Kingdom; I'll have people gather adventurers to prepare for battle near the Frozen Divine Kingdom."

"From here... fly back?"

Xiao Mi's eyes widened.

Immediately afterwards, another joy: "Great, master, then we can have some alone time for more than ten days!"

Xiao Feng pursed his lips, lifted the little snake with two fingers: "There's still a light bulb here."

Akuis:...

Xiao Mi:...
