Chapter 1035: Scarlet Vertical Eyes (First update, requesting all)

Chirp—

In the sky, the Three-Legged Fire Sparrow let out a mournful cry; its wings were pierced through by the Heaven-Sent Double-Pupil Bird, and it fell straight down from the air.

Before the Three-Legged Fire Sparrow could hit the ground, the Heaven-Sent Double-Pupil Bird released a milky-white beam of light, instantly engulfing the Three-Legged Fire Sparrow and causing it to lose its ability to fight.

Li Zhangsheng did not kill the Three-Legged Fire Sparrow; after all, Spirit Beasts possessing the Three-Legged Golden Crow Bloodline were truly too rare, and one must not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Thus, like the Bronze Behemoth and the Green Wood Longevity Cat, the Three-Legged Fire Sparrow was also imprisoned within the Secret Realm.

Roar—

Following the Three-Legged Fire Sparrow, the Demon King level Silver Dragon was swatted to the ground by a claw from the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon, likewise losing its ability to fight.

The miserable Demon King level Silver Dragon could not exert its full strength at all; in front of the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon, it was no different from a sandbag, and it was dealt with in just a few strikes.

Due to the Dragon Lair, Li Zhangsheng also captured this Demon King level Silver Dragon.

He possessed three giant dragons, the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon, the Red Dragon, and the Gold Dragon; even if the Demon King level Silver Dragon were extremely arrogant, it would likely have to submit obediently and could serve him just like the Demon King level White Dragon, whereas the other captured Demon King level Spirit Beasts, aside from providing blood regularly, were difficult to put to use.

Not far away, the Seven-Tailed Fox fled in a panic, but it could not shake off the Sub-Ancestral Gold Dragon no matter what.

In the span of a few breaths, the Sub-Ancestral Gold Dragon easily defeated the Seven-Tailed Fox and dragged it back.

The Seven-Tailed Fox raised its scarlet eyes, gazing pitifully at Li Zhangsheng, who was looking down at it.

"Kill it!"

Li Zhangsheng remained completely unmoved; for one, the Seven-Tailed Fox was of no use to him, and for another, fox-type Spirit Beasts were notoriously cunning. Do not be fooled by its pitiful appearance now; there was no guarantee it wouldn't secretly collude with other Demon King level Spirit Beasts in the future, and if they were to launch an inside-and-outside pincer attack with the enemy, that would be highly disadvantageous.

Besides this, the suppression power of the Secret Realm had its limits and could not suppress too many Demon King level Spirit Beasts; Li Zhangsheng naturally had to reserve the precious spots for Spirit Beasts useful to him.

Crack—

The Sub-Ancestral Gold Dragon faithfully executed Li Zhangsheng's order, gripping the Seven-Tailed Fox with its dragon claw and giving a forceful twist; the Seven-Tailed Fox's fragile neck snapped instantly, and blood flowed continuously from the corners of its mouth.

The Seven-Tailed Fox's eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief, pain, and panic; until its death, it never understood why, when both were Demon King level Spirit Beasts, there was such a difference in treatment.

Li Zhangsheng collected the corpse of the Seven-Tailed Fox and then gazed into the distance.

The Heaven-Swallowing Ape was large, but its speed was far too slow, and crucially, it could not fly; it was soon caught up to by the Sub-Ancestral Red Dragon, and it had to stop in its tracks, intending to face Xier Yasina in battle.

Xier Yasina glanced at the Heaven-Swallowing Ape with contempt, having absolutely no intention of engaging in melee combat with the opponent; like the Behemoth, the Heaven-Swallowing Ape was also a notoriously melee-focused race.

Also like the Behemoth, although the Heaven-Swallowing Ape was strong in melee, it not only could not fly but also lacked long-range attack methods, making it countered by Wind Kite Tactics.

No matter how the Heaven-Swallowing Ape clamored, Xier Yasina remained unmoved; over a year of training allowed it to control its emotions well, preventing anger from affecting its mind.

Relying on its superior speed and flight ability, Xier Yasina circled the Heaven-Swallowing Ape, continuously spitting Flame Dragon Breath, occasionally interspersed with Explosive Fireballs, Fire Walls, and Flame Storms, constantly toying with the Heaven-Swallowing Ape.

Boom—

Soon, the Heaven-Swallowing Ape collapsed to the ground and did not move again.

Like with the Seven-Tailed Fox, Li Zhangsheng had no intention of capturing the Heaven-Swallowing Ape.

Although the Mountain-Crushing Giant Ape Bloodline was strong, there was a certain gap compared to the Golden Behemoth, and it could not compare to the Hundred-Armed Giant; furthermore, neither he nor Ning Bizhen had Spirit Beasts with the Mountain-Crushing Giant Ape Bloodline, so there was no need to capture it.

In less than five minutes, five Demon King level Spirit Beasts met the outcome of three captures and two deaths.

Of course, such a great commotion also alarmed the nearby lords, as well as several Great Overlords in the core area.

Under the Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Secret Technique, movements within a radius of a thousand miles could not be hidden from Li Zhangsheng.

Dozens of miles away, the massive figure of the Thunder Lightning Titan Kronos emerged; it also saw Li Zhangsheng, and its face was filled with anger. Last time, Li Zhangsheng had severed its manhood, and the medicinal power of the Snow Soul Life-Saving Pill used to compensate it was clearly insufficient; although its manhood had grown back, its length, thickness, and hardness were clearly far inferior to before, so how could it face the female Giants again?

"It's you again!"

Kronos let out an angry roar and charged toward Li Zhangsheng regardless of anything else.

Not far away, the Demon Saint level Weishou Buleijiasi said to the Horned Dragon Xierdion: "Terrible, in such a short time, he has already become a King."

"His rate of progress is truly too fast; if he is not dealt with, our Silent Forest might be uprooted in the future. Quickly go and summon the other Great Overlords and the nearby lords."

The Horned Dragon Xierdion understood the gravity of the situation; Li Zhangsheng's rate of progress had completely exceeded its imagination.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng finally found the Horned Dragon Xierdion; under the Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Secret Technique, it was as if it were right before his eyes.

In an instant, Li Zhangsheng discovered a dim and lusterless Contract Mark on the dragon head of the Horned Dragon Xierdion.

At this moment, he was certain in his heart that the Horned Dragon Xierdion had once been the Spirit Beast of the Hundred-Victories King; he just didn't know if he could persuade it.

The Hundred-Victories King had been dead for over a hundred years; after so many years, the Horned Dragon Xierdion had grown accustomed to its current life, so the possibility of making it act as a dragon-traitor was truly not high.

But even if the success rate were small, Li Zhangsheng had to try before saying anything.

At this time, Weishou Buleijiasi let out a cry that resounded through the heavens and earth, wanting to summon the nearby Great Overlords and lords to fight Li Zhangsheng together.

Just at this moment, Li Zhangsheng's expression shifted slightly, his body swayed a little, and his face was filled with gravity.

In that very moment, he saw a crack open in the core area, revealing a pair of huge scarlet vertical eyes, and he locked gazes with them from over a hundred miles away.

Just this one glance made Li Zhangsheng feel as if he were facing a great enemy, with a sense of confronting a great terror.

If nothing went wrong, the owner of these vertical eyes was that Divine Beast, the Teng Snake, which had established the Silent Forest; after so many years, he did not know if it had broken through to the Demon Emperor level.

For the sake of safety, Li Zhangsheng decided to temporarily avoid its Keen Edge and immediately rode Aixi to flee.

Because even if the Teng Snake had not broken through, he could not do anything to the opponent for the time being.

Aixi transformed into a golden rainbow, and in less than two minutes, she rushed out of the range of the Silent Forest, leaving the several Great Overlords of the Silent Forest helpless.

Under Li Zhangsheng's distant 'gaze', the scarlet vertical eyes had already disappeared, and he did not know why the opponent did not choose to pursue.

After confirming he was safe, Li Zhangsheng stopped and casually sent the two heads into the Secret Realm.

In the Secret Realm, looking at the bloody heads of the Seven-Tailed Fox and the Heaven-Swallowing Ape, the Bronze Behemoth, the Green Wood Longevity Cat, and the Three-Legged Fire Sparrow all trembled in fear.
