Chapter 136: Chapter 129: Overlord Limit, Two Thousand-Year Techniques
By the time Wu Dao arrived at Jianshan City, the battle within was long over.
Experts from the Overlord Whale Alliance were carrying one horrifying Evil Beast after another out of Jianshan City. The corpses were piled into a small mountain, and the stench of blood was exceptionally pungent.
"Alliance Leader, we have fulfilled our mission. We suffered injuries, but no deaths. All the Saint King Dao remnants in the city have been eliminated—a hundred in total. Among them..."
The Right Guardian, Li Shan, saw Wu Dao arrive and hurried over to greet him, reporting the details about the Demon Beasts.
"Mm, well done."
Wu Dao’s expression was calm, showing neither surprise nor joy.
The main course was already in his stomach, so these little snacks were not worth mentioning.
His Spiritual Perception swept over the mountain of Demon Beast corpses.
Ten of them had formed Demon Pills. Seven were equivalent to five hundred years of cultivation, while the remaining three were more prominent.
A Tiger Demon, a Pig Demon, and a Wolf Demon.
All three Demon Beasts possessed seven hundred years of cultivation, equivalent to having undergone a Second Rebirth.
According to Li Shan, these three Demon Beasts had been the Clan Leaders of three families in Jianshan City and had joined the Saint King Dao long ago.
After receiving the blessing of "Divine Power," the three great families built a massive Saint King Temple on Holy Bull Mountain. Using the Divine Power, they controlled every aspect of Jianshan City and secretly recruited Daoist Disciples.
Most of the Daoist Disciples were members of the three great families themselves, while a small portion came from Jianshan City’s upper class.
As for the common folk in the city, they were treated like penned pigs and sheep—not even worth mentioning.
After swallowing the ten Demon Pills, Wu Dao’s expression held a hint of surprise.
The number of Teleportation Points was not what he expected.
In his estimation, the three seven-hundred-year Demon Beasts should have each yielded around three hundred points, but in reality, they only gave two hundred.
The remaining seven five-hundred-year ones yielded even less.
Only one hundred each.
They couldn’t even compare to the Flesh and Blood Tai Sui from before.
It probably wasn’t because they were dead.
The attribute panel’s conversion rule for Teleportation Points was that as long as a target was of the same tier, the number of points granted would be the same.
’Was it because they were artificially matured?’
After a moment of thought, Wu Dao arrived at an answer.
The Saint King Dao’s Demon Beasts were not cultivated step-by-step. Instead, they were forcibly matured using the so-called "Divine Power" from the Saint King’s blessing—a method that was all show and no substance, resulting in numerous flaws.
Demon Beasts transformed from humans retained their full intelligence, but their strength couldn’t compare to natural demons.
As for those that were already Demon Beasts, like the red bull from earlier, while their strength was comparable to a normal 1,500-year-old demon, their minds weren’t very sharp, and they were still heavily influenced by their animal instincts.
Unfortunately, he hadn’t managed to draw out the mastermind.
Otherwise, he might have learned the principles behind their transformation.
Wu Dao’s first guess was a Celestial Treasure.
The Celestial Treasures of this World possessed all sorts of concept-defying Mighty Powers, so creating Demon Beasts wouldn’t be a difficult task.
But he couldn’t be sure.
After all, in this Extraordinary World, anything was possible—Cultivation Techniques, Divine Techniques, Secret Techniques, treasures...
’I hope you can bring me a real feast next time.’
Thinking of the mysterious demonic shadow from before, a look of anticipation surfaced in Wu Dao’s eyes. Compared to his past opponents, he rather liked this new enemy.
’What was that saying again? The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. It might sound a bit awkward to put it that way, but that was the general idea.’
Li Shan and the other Overlord Whale Alliance experts watched with their own eyes as Wu Dao swallowed one Demon Pill after another. Their faces couldn’t help but twitch, but they said nothing.
After undergoing Mind Control, no matter what outrageous thing Wu Dao did in front of them, they might feel shocked or terrified, but they would never object.
After finishing the Demon Pills, Wu Dao looked at the mountain of Demon Beast corpses, then glanced at the surrounding Overlord Whale Alliance experts. An idea began to form.
HUMMM~
The Primordial Magnetic Gang Shield enveloped the mountain of corpses. Crimson Gold bolts of lightning sank into one body after another, beginning to refine and transform their flesh and blood essence.
Before long, the corpses of the hundred-odd Demon Beasts rapidly shriveled, desiccating and losing all vitality.
All their flesh and blood essence condensed into over a hundred milky-white, gelatinous spheres of Wanyu Treasure Liquid, each the size of an infant’s fist and with a jelly-like consistency.
"Hold out your hands."
Wu Dao spoke calmly, and one by one, the jelly-like spheres of Wanyu Treasure Liquid flew into the palms of the Overlord Whale Alliance experts.
"Thank you for your gift, Alliance Leader!"
The hundred or so men were stunned, their eyes filled with wild joy. With faces flushed red, they quickly dropped to one knee in thanks.
Although they didn’t know what these gelatinous things were, the instinctual craving that resonated in their very cells could not lie.
Eating these gelatinous spheres would bring immense benefits to their physiques!
"Keep up the good work. The meritorious will be rewarded."
Wu Dao casually dangled a carrot.
The appearance of the Saint King Dao meant the world was changing. All manner of evil spirits would no longer be so rare; perhaps they would begin to spring up one after another like mushrooms after a rain.
This made him realize it was time to cultivate a group of subordinates.
Otherwise, he would have to personally rush over and deal with every single anomaly that appeared, which was a waste of his time and energy.
’How should I cultivate them?’
’Naturally, by implanting the Primordial Magnetic Demon Embryo.’
The very nature of the Primordial Magnetic Demon Embryo dictated that the ’Primordial Demon’ would evolve its physique in the direction of him, the ’progenitor’.
In other words, a weakened version of the Dragon Whale Dominating Body.
When this power was unleashed, the Primordial Demon’s physique, Essence, Qi, and Spirit would experience an explosive surge, their strength far surpassing others at the same level. Moreover, their vital energy would carry a domineering Supreme Yang Attribute, making one of them as effective as two when fighting Alien Species.
From now on, in the Overlord Whale Alliance’s territory, as long as the Alien Species that appeared were not at the Innate Level or weren’t particularly elusive Fierce Gu, the Alliance’s experts would be able to handle them. If one person wasn’t enough, they’d send two. If two weren’t enough, they’d swarm them.
He would no longer have to use a cannon to swat a fly.
"Headquarters meeting tomorrow. All those at the Divine Power level and above must attend."
Having made up his mind, Wu Dao left them with those words, then manipulated his Magnetic Field and shot high into the sky.
The Teleportation Points on his attribute panel had accumulated to 11,615. It was time to shatter the barrier of the Overlord Limit.
