Chapter 0051: Mysterious Power

The Group of Immortals Pavilion, equipped with top-tier treasures and spiritual arrays no less powerful than the Five Prison Divine Cauldron, had at its core the Dayan Divine Thunder Array. At that moment, the Sky Blue Python Ox trapped within the array roared furiously. Waves of violent energy erupted from its massive body, not only shaking the Dayan Divine Thunder Array but also causing the entire Group of Immortals Pavilion to vibrate.

As time passed, the Sky Blue Python Ox gradually overcame its weakness and adapted to its own strength. Its terrifying might surprised the Yellow Dragon—its power was on par with that of sacred realm intermediate magical beasts like the Golden-Eyed Purple Ape.

Seeing this, the Yellow Dragon felt pleased. It had been worth fighting the demon princess earlier; obtaining a “honest” ox that was good-looking but useless would have been a loss.

After sitting in seiza, Bog fed magic power into the Yellow Dragon’s body once again as ordered. The Yellow Dragon waved his hands, lifting the Group of Immortals Pavilion into the air. Then, with a breath, he unleashed the Primordial True Fire. With Bog’s magic power supporting it, the Primordial True Fire flowed continuously into the pavilion.

Once the Primordial True Fire enveloped the pavilion, the purple lightning, originally the size of a thumb, within its core grew violent, constantly raining down on the Sky Blue Python Ox. Other major arrays such as the Red Refining Fire Essence Array and the Flying Smoke Array were also activated one after another.

Purple lightning raged, true fire filled the air, and smoke choked the sky. The once frenzied Sky Blue Python Ox now let out continuous screams of agony.

Roar! Roar! Having never suffered such calamities before, the ox was filled with rage!

“Human kid, let me out right now!”
“Set me free! Otherwise, once I get out, I’ll tear you to pieces!”

Hearing the “threats” coming from within the Group of Immortals Pavilion, the Yellow Dragon smiled indifferently and intensified his magic power. Bog’s magic power in the Yellow Dragon’s body was continuously transformed into Primordial True Energy by the Golden Core, so the Yellow Dragon wasn’t worried about running out of magic power.

Initially, the Yellow Dragon had captured Piir and Endi by chance—those two beasts were fighting each other and on the verge of death when they heard the Yellow Dragon could save them, so they swore to become his magical pets. But now, the Sky Blue Python Ox didn’t have such conditions. If the Yellow Dragon wanted to subdue it, there was only one way: to strip away its beast nature and make it submit completely to him.

In the first ten minutes, the Sky Blue Python Ox was filled with rage, fury, and curses, wishing to gnaw through the Yellow Dragon’s bones and drink his blood. But after half an hour, after being tormented by the arrays of lightning, fire, and smoke in the Group of Immortals Pavilion, its massive body was covered in wounds and blood. Its cursing gradually faded, replaced by pleas.

Yet even then, it still hadn’t surrendered.

An hour passed, and the Sky Blue Python Ox became enraged once again. However, after over an hour of torment, its strength had diminished, its roars had weakened significantly, and each roar was followed by panting. Trapped within the formation, surrounded by purple lightning and true fire, the Sky Blue Python Ox’s eyes gradually filled with fear. Though those purple lightning bolts couldn’t seriously injure it, each strike caused intense pain and numbness throughout its body. As for the true fire, it was like maggots burrowing into its bones—once touched, it caused searing pain, as if its soul itself was burning. The black smoke was equally unbearable, causing tears to stream from its eyes and discomfort throughout its body. This was truly the legendary Asura Abyss! Could it really have to become a magical pet for that human child? Judging from what it had seen before, that Cave Dragon and Golden-Eyed Purple Ape must also be that human child’s magical pets. In that case, agreeing to be that child’s pet might not be such a humiliating thing after all. As the torment reached its peak, this thought flashed through the Sky Blue Python Ox’s mind. But then, it hesitated again. At that moment, the lightning and fire became even more intense. Eventually, pushed to the absolute limit, on the verge of going mad, the Sky Blue Python Ox surrendered to the Yellow Dragon. After swearing an oath in the name of the Beast God, the Yellow Dragon simply thought and set it free. By then, more than two hours had passed. When Piir and Endi, the two beasts, saw the pitiful state of the Sky Blue Python Ox, they couldn’t help but shudder. Thankfully, they hadn’t been as foolish as this ox; otherwise, their fate would have been even worse. This was pure self-inflicted suffering! If they had known this would happen, why would they have been so stupid? Piir and Endi thought to themselves. After emerging from the Immortals’ Pavilion, the Sky Blue Python Ox looked at the human child, the Yellow Dragon, with a mix of helplessness, anger, and fear. It slowly approached the Yellow Dragon and lay down. Before leaving, it had sworn an oath in the name of the Beast God and could no longer back out. With that, it had no choice but to surrender. From now on, this human child would be its master. Seeing the Sky Blue Python Ox finally submit, the Yellow Dragon sighed in relief. He took out a Spirit Beast Cage and threw it at the ox. Under the ox’s surprised and confused gaze, the cage entered through its forehead and into its mental space. The Sky Blue Python Ox couldn’t help but touch its head—it was completely unharmed! Sensing the connection between its soul and that of its human master, it opened its mouth but ultimately held back. Like Piir and Endi before it, the Sky Blue Python Ox was clearly puzzled about the origin of that small golden cage.

“That’s the Spirit Beast Circle. With just a thought of mine, I can scatter your soul!” Huang Long said calmly.
The Spirit Beast Circle, scatter the soul! The Sky Blue Python Ox trembled, then glanced at Pierre and Endi—could they be the same?
Pierre and Endi, aware of the Sky Blue Python Ox’s confusion, nodded.
Confirming this, the Sky Blue Python Ox’s gaze toward Huang Long changed repeatedly. At that moment, Huang Long channeled his internal vital energy, exhaled, and a sphere of primordial energy enveloped the Sky Blue Python Ox. In shock, it found that its wounds were healing at a visible speed.
After a while, it was back to its original state before being trapped.
Then, after swallowing the pill Huang Long had thrown into its mouth, the magic power and stamina it had lost were also restored.
This… could this really be true?! The Sky Blue Python Ox stared in shock at Huang Long, its newly recognized master.
Pierre, Endi, and Bogge watched the astonishment in the ox’s eyes but secretly smiled—there would be many more surprises to come.
After subduing the Sky Blue Python Ox, Huang Long began to observe the deserted island. Earlier, he had been too eager to subdue it and hadn’t paid attention to exploring the island, but now he felt that it seemed to hold some mysterious power.
This power had a terrifying sucking force that seemed to devour everything, yet Huang Long also sensed an astonishing surge of life energy within it.
Bogge, being observant, saw Huang Long’s puzzled expression and spoke up, “Young master.”
Huang Long focused on the tallest peak at the center of the island and said, “There’s something wrong with this island. Be careful. Let’s go take a look.” With that, he leaped onto the Sky Blue Python Ox’s back and rode toward the island’s center.
Bogge and the two beasts quickly followed.
