Chapter 1353: The Gnoll King Yenuogu (First update, requesting all)

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng finished the purification, and adding his previous stock, he had a full thirteen jars of Ancestral Black Dragon Essence Blood, enough for the Secondary Ancestral Black Dragon to evolve.

Besides this, Li Zhangsheng also summoned Ning Bizhen's Bright Dragon Horse over.

The Pegasus Essence Blood had not yet been gathered, but Li Zhangsheng had enough Holy Unicorn Essence Blood on hand; both were Light-attribute Divine Beasts, so their compatibility was very high.

Li Zhangsheng had about ten jars of Holy Unicorn Essence Blood on hand; even if it couldn't make the Bright Dragon Horse evolve into a Divine Beast in one go, it was enough to take its strength a step further.

The next moment, the Secondary Ancestral Black Dragon and the Bright Dragon Horse began Essence Refining.

Among them, the Bright Dragon Horse had one extra step, which was to integrate a second Bloodline; the resources required went without saying, and Li Zhangsheng had plenty on hand.

Soon, the Ancestral Black Dragon lay on the ground, its entire body shimmering with a deep blue radiance.

The Bright Dragon Horse hovered in the air, emitting a soft, milky-white radiance that bathed the earth in light, giving the impression of a gentle little sun.

Li Zhangsheng waited quietly; the Bright Dragon Horse was the first to fuse the second Bloodline, and its momentum rose sharply by a notch.

Because the Bright Dragon Horse had not yet reached Tier 9 Demon Saint, it naturally did not attempt a breakthrough.

However, this integration of the second Bloodline still brought the Bright Dragon Horse many benefits.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Bright Dragon Horse (Growth Stage, Demi-God Beast)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Tier 4 Demon Saint

【Spirit Beast Race】: Higher Overlord

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Half-Step Epic

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Pegasus (Vigorous), Holy Unicorn (Vigorous)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Light

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: None

Apart from a slight increase in realm, the Bright Dragon Horse's race had risen to Higher Overlord, and most importantly, its quality had sublimated from Top-tier to Half-Step Epic.

In addition, there were changes in traits and Bloodline Inheritance Skills, which were enough to double the Bright Dragon Horse's strength.

On the other side, the Secondary Ancestral Black Dragon successfully evolved into an Ancestral Black Dragon; its volume was a full two to three times larger than before, but it had not yet regained consciousness and was attempting to break through its realm.

The Secondary Ancestral Black Dragon had attempted to break through to the Demon King level three to four times, but all had ended in failure; after evolving into an Ancestral Black Dragon this time, theoretically, there was no possibility of failure.

No accidents occurred; the Ancestral Black Dragon successfully broke through to the Demon King level, becoming the first Temporary Spirit Pet Demon Beast in Li Zhangsheng's possession.

In this way, including temporary spirit pets, Li Zhangsheng no longer had any Demon King level Demon Pets.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Ancestral Black Dragon (Growth Stage, Condensing Essence Origin, greatly enhances skill power; Essence Origin Protection: Exempts partial damage, depending on the opponent's realm.)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Tier 1 Demon Saint

【Spirit Beast Race】: Mid-level Divine Beast

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Half-Step Epic

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: None

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Water

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: None

Like the Bright Dragon Horse, the Ancestral Black Dragon's quality also rose by a level, slightly strengthening Li Zhangsheng's combat power.

In terms of traits, the original Strong trait sublimated into the Agile trait, making the Ancestral Black Dragon more flexible.

At the same time, it gained a Regeneration trait.

Although it was far from the Severed Finger Regeneration trait of the Five-Colored Dragon God, it could ultimately improve its endurance.

As for the Bloodline Inheritance Skill, it completely inherited all the Dragon Clan heritage of the Ancestral Black Dragon, so that point will be skipped.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng had been sitting in command at the Diamond Fortress.

The Diamond Fortress was as its name suggested; its walls and buildings were crystal clear and famous for their hardness, giving the impression of being like diamonds, which was also the origin of the Diamond Fortress's name.

This was a low-tier man-made material, but given the area of the Diamond Fortress, the cost of these materials alone was an astronomical figure.

The Diamond Fortress suppressed a Higher Abyss Gate; ever since the Spirit Emperor fell, the cunning demons began to probe, almost capturing the leaderless Diamond Fortress.

Fortunately, Li Zhangsheng arrived in time, finally preserving the Diamond Fortress.

However, the Kings and Double-Character Kings who originally sat in command at the Diamond Fortress were all won over by the Dark Moon King and defected to the Xuan Emperor together.

Under these circumstances, Li Zhangsheng could only sit in command at the Diamond Fortress and send several Kings over to assist in the suppression.

This Higher Abyss Gate connected to Abyss Layer 422, and the master of this layer of the Abyss was the Gnoll King Yenuogu.

Among the many Demon Monarchs, the strength of the Gnoll King Yenuogu was relatively weak, but regardless, he was equivalent to a deity with Weak Divine Power.

In the disputes with the Spirit Emperor, Yenuogu had always been at a disadvantage, but Yenuogu was relatively cunning, and coupled with the Abyss Consciousness, he had not been killed by the Spirit Emperor.

Of course, one could not rule out the suspicion that the Spirit Emperor was keeping the enemy to ensure his own importance. After all, if Yenuogu were killed, it was unknown who would take over Abyss Layer 422; it could be a more powerful Demon Monarch, or even a deity residing in the Abyss.

Because of Yenuogu, Li Zhangsheng had roughly two plans if he wanted to leave the Diamond Fortress.

One: Let a Top-tier Double-Character King guard the fortress, which, in coordination with a Large Forbidden Array, could resist a Demon Monarch for a period of time.

Two: Kill Yenuogu.

Both plans had pros and cons; for the first plan, when the previous Spirit Emperor went out, it was always guarded by the Dark Moon King.

But Li Zhangsheng did not have a Top-tier Double-Character King under his banner; the Mingcang King's strength had not yet recovered, and only Ning Bizhen had the ability to contend with a Top-tier Double-Character King.

However, this kind of work was dangerous, and Li Zhangsheng had no intention of letting Ning Bizhen take the risk.

Thus, Li Zhangsheng could only choose the second one; even if other Demon Monarchs or evil deities occupied Abyss Layer 422 after killing Yenuogu, there would certainly be a vacuum period, which could easily last more than a year, or even ten years.

As long as Li Zhangsheng was given a year, even if he faced the true body of the Spider Queen Luosi, he would not be afraid, so he naturally did not take it too much to heart.

Yenuogu's strength was similar to an Emperor Rank Divine Beast, and coupled with numerous formidable underlings and the home-field advantage, if he did not possess the Xuan Kun Creation Stele, Li Zhangsheng would not have had much confidence in finishing off Yenuogu.

Due to the fall of the Spirit Emperor, Yenuogu had taken the initiative to come to the Fairy World not long ago, sitting in command near the Higher Abyss Gate, wanting to take the opportunity to capture the Diamond Fortress.

At that time, Li Zhangsheng relieved the siege of the Diamond Fortress and did not encounter Yenuogu, but rather his subordinates, the lords, so he did not exert much of his strength, and his performance was about the same as a Top-tier Double-Character King, completely showing weakness to the enemy to paralyze Yenuogu.

Li Zhangsheng did not take the initiative to seek out Yenuogu, mainly because Yenuogu had too many subordinates who were relatively loyal, and with the Abyss Gate nearby, Yenuogu could return to Abyss Layer 422 at any time.

Rather than that, it would be better to wait for the rabbit to hit the stump; he believed it would not be long before Yenuogu took the initiative to invade Diamond Fortress, at which point he could settle the matter once and for all.

What remained to be done was to wait, to wait for Yenuogu to walk right into the trap.
