Chapter 0309: From What It Has Seen, It Has Never Heard of Such a Thing

The human who set up the formation to trap it was not only a mage but also a soul master and a beast controller! Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx was shocked. Although it was a Primordial Beast of Chaos, it was well familiar with these three human titles and understood the significance of all three being combined in one person.

Yet, despite its shock, the attacks from those mutated primordial beasts did not stop. Wave after wave of soul attacks overwhelmed it. The soul attacks from these over a thousand mutated primordial beasts were far more terrifying and troublesome than those from nearly ten thousand Silver Wolf Primordial Beasts. It could only counter them with its own soul attacks.

Moreover, it was shocked to discover that the formation set up by its opponent was actually the legendary chain formation—not just two large formations stacked together, but many, each with immense power beyond its expectations. Divine lightning, heavenly fire, hurricanes, and other attacks came continuously, making it impossible to defend against.

After a while, Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx was already covered in wounds. Roaring in fury, it wanted to kill its opponent mercilessly, but it couldn’t even see them—let alone kill them; escaping was difficult as well.

Yellow Dragon hid nearby, controlling the large formation and coordinating the attacks of over a thousand mutated primordial beasts. Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx’s strength exceeded Yellow Dragon’s expectations. Despite the attacks from the beasts and the formation, it managed to escape several times. Fortunately, Yellow Dragon possessed the top-grade immortal weapon, the Immortal-Slaying Sword. Whenever Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx tried to break through the formation and flee, the sword would appear, sometimes accompanied by a soul attack to force it back into the formation.

In this way, Yellow Dragon controlled the formation and the attacks of the beasts, while Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx fought fiercely in all directions. The standoff lasted for over an hour.

After over an hour, Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx was covered in wounds. It had already been injured by Grover, Saxton, and the Silver Wolf Primordial Beasts. Now, with more injuries, its flames and green aura had weakened significantly.

However, during those over an hour, many of those mutated primordial beasts were killed by Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx’s soul attacks—about two or three hundred of them.

Yellow Dragon didn’t regret the death of these beasts. Although primordial beasts were rare, they could still be found in the Ancient Forest. But if Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx escaped, it would be difficult for Yellow Dragon to find another Primordial Beast of Chaos in the future.

In the vast Ancient Forest, where Primordial Beasts were nearly extinct, finding one would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

More than two hours later, the Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx’s furious roars had weakened, and its attacks were no longer as fierce as before. Yet, the intense killing intent in its emerald eyes grew stronger. Seeing this, the Yellow Dragon remained calm. As long as the Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx did not escape the grand array, he had ways to gradually tame its ferocity, just as he had subdued the Sky-Blue Python Ox in the Sea of Death of the Hengyuan Realm. As the Yellow Dragon had anticipated, after half a day, the ferocity in the Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx’s eyes finally faded, replaced by terror. For this primordial beast, the attacks from the mutating primordial beasts, driven by the array, were like an inescapable nightmare. Despite its best efforts to attack, it not only failed to break through the array and escape but also suffered more and more injuries. The array was like a colossal mountain of chaos standing between it and the world outside the cave. It was beginning to fear! Gradually, its eyes showed signs of pleading, but the Yellow Dragon felt this was not enough. He wanted to deeply imprint the seed of terror into the Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx’s mind. He would wait until the beast lowered its proud head and begged for mercy directly from him—by then, it would be almost done. Finally, after a day, the Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx hesitantly and urgently spoke up, begging the Yellow Dragon for mercy. But instead of stopping his attacks, the Yellow Dragon intensified the array’s power and ordered the mutating primordial beasts to attack even more fiercely, causing the Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx to emit continuous screams of pain. After a series of relentless attacks, the Yellow Dragon finally reduced the intensity of the array’s attacks and those of the mutating primordial beasts. The Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx’s eyes were filled only with endless terror; it was covered in wounds and gasping for breath. Its fear of the unseen demon controlling the array and the attacking beasts could only be described as utter terror. As far as it knew, human-made arrays required rare energy crystals to function. It had been waiting for those crystals to run out, hoping to easily break through the array then. But the array showed no sign of depleting its energy, and its power even grew stronger in the end. This was also one of the reasons for its terror. Finally, after a day and a night, when the Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx pleaded for mercy again, its voice trembling with fear, the Yellow Dragon felt it was almost time. “I’ll let you go—if you agree to any of my conditions,” the Yellow Dragon said, his voice soothing yet resonating through the deep cave walls. But to the Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx, it sounded like the roar of a demon. At this point, the Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx hesitated instead.

But when the great formation and the mutated beast launched another attack, and the Wind-Flame Dragon Scale let out a pained cry, it hurriedly agreed by nodding.
“Very well, then lift the defenses of the Sea of Souls for me,” the Yellow Dragon said calmly, with no trace of emotion in its voice.
“What?! Lift the defenses of the Sea of Souls?!” The Wind-Flame Dragon Scale was stunned and exclaimed in shock.
If it lifted the defenses, it would be completely exposed to that demon, at its mercy.
“What? You don’t want to?” The Yellow Dragon snorted coldly.
The Wind-Flame Dragon Scale trembled violently, its eyes filled with fear. Finally, it hurriedly said, “I’ll lift the defenses of the Sea of Souls—what do you want in return?” If it did so, any soul attack from the other party would be fatal to it. Even if it couldn’t escape the formation, it would drag the other party down with it in a self-destructive explosion before dying!
Even if the other party was extremely powerful, a mid-tier divine peak Chaos Prime Beast’s self-destruction could still deal heavy damage or even kill them both. Of course, this was a last resort. It would only resort to this if necessary.
“If you lift the defenses of the Sea of Souls, I’ll implant Soul Leeches in you and make you my pet,” the Yellow Dragon said outright, without hiding anything.
“What? Soul Leeches?!” The Wind-Flame Dragon Scale was shocked, its voice filled with utter terror. It knew about the rumors of Soul Leeches—if those leeches were implanted in its Sea of Souls and activated by the other party, its suffering would be worse than death.
But how could the other party possess such power, even to the point of using Soul Leeches that made even the gods of the Netherworld fear them?!
“No!” The Wind-Flame Dragon Scale declared firmly after being shocked.
Under no circumstances would it agree to let the other party implant Soul Leeches in its Sea of Souls. Otherwise, if the other party got angry later, it could control the leeches to torment it at will. How could it, a noble Chaos Prime Beast, live worse than those lowly Silver Wolves? So, no matter what, it would never agree.
The Yellow Dragon wasn’t surprised by its firm refusal. If it had agreed, it wouldn’t have been a Chaos Prime Beast.
“It’s okay if you don’t use Soul Leeches, but you must swear by the name of the Creator to be my pet and never betray me for life!” the Yellow Dragon said.
Swearing by the name of the Creator was the highest oath in the divine realm.
The Wind-Flame Dragon Scale was stunned for a moment before hesitating. It knew that if it refused, the other party surely wouldn’t let it go freely, and it might truly perish here.

“Very well. I, Zerom, swear by the Creator that I will serve you forever throughout this life. If I break this vow, I shall be punished by the Creator and die!” With no other choice, Zerom, the Wind-Fire Dragon-Qilin, had to swear. After Zerom took the oath, under his gaze, a young man with black hair appeared out of thin air before him. What an ingenious form of concealment! Shocked, Zerom then looked at the young man in fear—was this the terrifying demon? After the Yellow Dragon revealed itself, it waved its hand, and a powerful surge of Immortal Essence energy enveloped Zerom. Just as Zerom tried to react instinctively to avoid it, he noticed that his wounds were healing at an astonishing speed. What was this? The Wood Element law or the Life Rule? Zerom was secretly astonished. After a while, the Yellow Dragon retracted the Immortal Essence energy, with some difficulty, as it had expended quite a lot to help Zerom recover quickly. Although it couldn’t fully heal Zerom’s wounds at once, it had restored about 40-50% of them. At least, on the surface, Zerom’s wounds no longer seemed visible. “Master!” Zerom approached, and just as the Yellow Dragon had subdued sacred beasts like the Sky-Blue Python Ox on the Eternal Element Continent before, using both kindness and force, Zerom began to submit to the Yellow Dragon. In fact, after taking the oath, he had no choice but to submit. At that moment, the Yellow Dragon recalled those mutated primal beasts back into the Group of Immortals Pavilion and dismantled the grand formation. Due to Zerom’s earlier fierce attacks, the number of those mutated primal beasts had dropped from over a thousand to five or six hundred. After dismantling the formation, the Yellow Dragon leaped onto Zerom’s back and rode him out of the mountain cave, continuing their journey through the Barren Stone Forest. Coincidentally, half a year later, the Yellow Dragon and Zerom encountered the same group of silver wolves that had attacked Zerom before. Seeing them again, Zerom naturally became furious. With the Yellow Dragon’s help, he thoroughly crushed and wiped out those silver wolves. However, as he watched the Yellow Dragon kill those primal beasts, Zerom was horrified to see those terrifying tree roots appear, devouring all their primal beast crystals and absorbing them. What kind of heaven-defying existence was this? From what he had seen, he had never heard of such a thing!
