Chapter 0367: Are You Kidding?
The twelve two-headed demon tigers were surprised to see the Yellow Dragon appear—especially one who was a mid-tier goddess. They immediately surrounded her, their beastly eyes glowing with ferocity. It seemed that at the slightest command from the person in the valley, they would kill the Yellow Dragon without hesitation.
The Yellow Dragon glanced at the twelve two-headed demon tigers around her with indifference. She didn’t take these twelve evolved divine beast tigers seriously. However, she remained wary of the person in the valley.
“Back off!” A voice came from within the valley just as tension reached its peak.
Back off? The twelve two-headed demon tigers exchanged glances before respectfully obeying and stepping aside.
The Yellow Dragon was also surprised. She looked toward the valley, and a flash of light appeared between her brows. She saw a figure sitting in the center of the valley, surrounded by a faint gray aura. Around that aura was nothing but emptiness, filled with destructive energy.
“You must have come with Sil and the others, right?” the figure in the valley spoke up.
Sil, one of the two-headed demon tigers, stared at the Yellow Dragon in shock.
“That’s correct,” the Yellow Dragon replied calmly. There was nothing to hide.
“Your concealment technique is truly remarkable. If I hadn’t carefully scanned the surroundings, I likely wouldn’t have noticed your arrival even now,” the figure said in a flat tone, making it hard to tell whether it was praise or something else.
The Yellow Dragon remained silent.
“Tell me, what’s your purpose in following Sil and the others?” Suddenly, the figure raised his voice, emitting pressure. Sil and the other tigers around him radiated divine power as they stared at the Yellow Dragon, tension rising once again.
“Subdue them!” Amidst the tension, the Yellow Dragon indifferently pointed at the twelve demon tigers, including Sil.
“What?!” Even though the figure in the valley had guessed various possibilities, he never expected such a response from her.
After a brief silence, loud laughter echoed from the valley. A mid-tier goddess trying to subdue twelve evolved divine beast tigers?
Not even after living for over a dozen eras had the figure encountered such a thing!
As he laughed, the twelve demon tigers, including Sil, glared angrily at the Yellow Dragon. If not for the figure’s orders, they would have rushed forward to torment this tiny mid-tier goddess mercilessly.
Evolved divine beasts were generally stronger than human mid-tier deities of the same rank, not to mention evolved ones—and there were twelve of them!
A mere mid-tier god dared to set his sights on them.
The Yellow Dragon stood there indifferently, ignoring the furious glares from beasts like the Two-Headed Tiger Xil. After a while, the laughter in the valley finally ceased.
“Is it that funny?” the Yellow Dragon asked coldly.
“Indeed, it is,” the man in the valley replied with a hearty laugh, then countered, “Don’t you find it funny?”
After such a “scandal,” the tense atmosphere eased considerably. The Yellow Dragon sensed the killing intent in the man’s eyes had vanished.
“I’m very curious—how did you manage to subdue Xil and the others?” Though the man knew it was impossible for a mid-tier god to subdue twelve high-tier godly mutated beasts, he was still curious about what gave this mid-tier god such power.
The Two-Headed Tiger Xil and the other beasts looked at the Yellow Dragon with a mix of anger and confusion.
“You really want to know?” the Yellow Dragon asked, glancing at Xil and the others.
“Indeed,” the man in the valley said, raising his voice in interest.
“You won’t strike?” the Yellow Dragon stared intently at him.
The valley fell silent for a moment. The Yellow Dragon’s certainty made him doubt—could this mid-tier god truly have the strength to subdue Xil and the others?!
“You brat, you’re too arrogant!” At that moment, the Two-Headed Tiger Xil roared in anger. This tiny mid-tier god not only dared to claim they would be subdued but also asked Lord Bradd not to intervene? It seemed to imply that if Lord Bradd didn’t act, this little mid-tier god could definitely subdue them?!
“Do we still need Lord Bradd to act?!” Xil was furious. Then he turned to the man in the valley and said respectfully, “Lord Bradd, please allow us to ‘teach’ this brat a lesson!”
The man in the valley pondered for a moment before saying, “Alright, but be careful not to be too harsh. Don’t kill him—I still have questions for him.”
“Yes, Lord Bradd!” Xil and the others replied respectfully. Then they all stood up and marched toward the Yellow Dragon with fierce eyes.
After surrounding the Yellow Dragon, they didn’t rush to attack.
“Many human godly warriors are foolish and ignorant,” Xil said coldly. “Greg, go ahead and show him the consequences of ignorance.”
One of the other two-headed tigers readily agreed and stepped forward, approaching the Yellow Dragon step by step. With each step, his aura grew stronger. When he was hundreds of meters away, a vortex of flames surged around him as he soared into the air, stirring the air around him.
“Brat, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. Go ahead and attack first,” the two-headed tiger said, standing firm and staring coldly at the Yellow Dragon.
“Should I strike first?” Huang Long’s eyes sharpened.
“Hehe, not bad,” the two-headed, two-headed demon tiger sneered.
So be it?! Two strands of icy light shot from Huang Long’s eyes; two blades of light seemed to flash across the sky, and then he vanished entirely.
The two-headed demon tiger Xil and the other beasts were shocked, and a faint gasp came from within the valley. Then, under their astonished gazes, the two-headed demon tiger suddenly let out a scream. In a flash, a figure appeared before it—none other than the little Mid-Level God in their eyes.
“Purple Thunder Sky Blade!” With Huang Long’s deep roar, purple lightning flashed and condensed instantly. A large sword made of purple lightning spanned heaven and earth before slashing down violently.
The two-headed demon tiger was flung backward, knocking over several mountains before crashing miles away.
Silence reigned.
Xil and the other beasts were stunned.
There was no sound in the valley either.
In fact, after passing the trials on the Trial Island, Huang Long had been rewarded with access to the Heavenly Dragon Space, where he absorbed the energy of the dragon source, activating the Dragon Blood Crystal within him. This allowed him to reach the later stage of the Golden Immortal realm, making his strength comparable to that of a Level 6 King of the Underworld. Coupled with the soul attack he used before attacking, the two-headed demon tiger was caught off guard and was instantly defeated by Huang Long’s consecutive attacks! Otherwise, with Huang Long’s strength, even without the million Mutated Primordial Beasts and the Wind-Flame Dragon Scale, let alone with the help of immortal artifacts, it wouldn’t have been easy to defeat this two-headed demon tiger—it would have taken some effort.
“You’re a Soul Master?!” Just as Xil and the other beasts reacted, shouting in shock, a voice came from within the valley.
Although Huang Long’s soul attack had been hidden, it couldn’t deceive those in the valley.
Xil and the other beasts stared at Huang Long in astonishment.
“Yet even so, can you really subdue Xil and the others?” The voice from the valley was filled with doubt, but there was also a sense of gravity—clearly, Huang Long’s sudden surge in strength forced them to put aside their earlier mockery and contempt.
Xil and the other beasts also looked solemn.
But just as the voice from the valley faded, the once sunny sky suddenly darkened.
Xil and the other beasts looked up. As they saw what was in the sky, their expressions shifted from shock to horror, and finally to terror.
“You’re a high-level Beast Driver?!” The person in the valley was also shocked, adding in disbelief, “All of them are Mutated Primordial Beasts?”
As the person in the valley was stunned, a strange glow appeared in the sky.
The darkness vanished, and it seemed as though only this glow existed in the world.
A million Mutated Primordial Beasts’ soul attack!
The two-headed demon tiger Sil and the other beasts roared in fright and retreated. Not long after retreating, their bodies began to tremble violently as they staggered. When the strange light appeared again, unsurprisingly, the two-headed demon tiger Sil and the other beasts crashed down from the sky.
After subduing the four-clawed demon raven and nine other high-ranking divine mutated beasts on the Trial Island, the soul attacks of the million mutated beasts grew significantly stronger. Not a single one of the two-headed demon tiger Sil and the others managed to escape.
Huang Long did not hide his identity as a “Senior Beast Driver.” He revealed it in front of the people in the valley for a reason. He realized that although these people were peerless warriors, they were trapped by the valley’s restrictions and could not leave. Thus, Huang Long didn’t have to worry about them revealing his secrets. Moreover, he had another plan, which was why he didn’t hesitate.
After knocking the two-headed demon tiger Sil and the others down, Huang Long imprinted his divine consciousness on each of them one by one before storing them in the Group of Immortals Pavilion, including the one from before.
The people in the valley did not intervene.
“A mid-tier god, a soul master, and even a Senior Beast Driver!” the person in the valley said thoughtfully, their voice echoing indistinctly.
“I didn’t expect your talent to be no less than hers,” they murmured to themselves, seemingly lost in some ancient memory.
Huang Long stood there, not in a hurry to leave.
“Over 20 billion years,” the person in the valley sneered bitterly, “Is she still okay? She must have married that bastard Jared by now, right?!” Then they spoke of things unrelated to what was happening, but their words revealed their resentment and helplessness after being trapped in the valley for over 20 billion years.
“I can free you,” Huang Long suddenly interrupted their monologue.
The person’s voice stopped abruptly. Then, Huang Long saw the figure originally sitting on the ground in the valley suddenly stand up, filled with excitement, before stopping and bursting into loud laughter.
“Are you joking? Free me? With these array restrictions, over these 20 billion years, I’ve had Sil ask several high-level array masters in the Netherworld, but none could break them!” After stopping laughing, the person pointed at Huang Long and said, “Do you really think I’m joking just because I can’t get out?” With that, their aura surged.
Huang Long didn’t back down. With an indifferent expression, he said, “What if I can free you?”
