Chapter 310: Chapter 42: Divine Bird Peacock
However, this was no joke. The Thirty-Six Saints Central Committee was serious.
If the Kunlun Secret Realm were occupied by Otherworld Magical Beasts, like the ones in the European Union, even non-sentient ones might stumble upon the many Demon God inheritances by sheer luck. Rather than let others benefit, it would be better to just blow the place up. After all, with so many Demon God inheritances, each one an entire mountain, a fair number were bound to survive.
As the rightful successors to the Kunlun Secret Realm, they would rather smash their ancestors’ legacy to pieces than have it stolen by others.
Of course, this was only if they truly had no way of taking it back. If there was even the slightest chance, Zhengguo would never take such a wasteful course of action. The threat was merely meant to steel their determination and project an intimidating aura.
"What’s the situation inside?"
The Math Saint was asking about their communications. The exploration team’s comms system was custom-made. It didn’t use electromagnetic signals but rather a modified Communication Array. In theory, as long as there was a Spiritual Mechanism interacting between the two realms, it could transmit information even across different spacetimes.
"We’re trying to connect now..."
Inside the Secret Realm, Su Zhou could already sense Tang Yuan’s exploration team approaching his position.
However, they still hadn’t found a way through the barrier.
They had tried all sorts of methods. From gathering power into a Thunder Drill to pierce it, to digging deep underground to see if they could bypass it, Su Zhou found that this suddenly-appeared Array was truly flawless and abnormally sturdy.
The black and red Great Array emanated a dense Life Spiritual Energy, often referred to as Blood Qi. This was the Attributeless Spiritual Qi that dwelled within the human body, the one most closely linked to the soul’s Spiritual Energy. Its main characteristic was its extreme inertia, making it almost completely non-reactive with other types of Spiritual Qi. This made it the most stable base material for all kinds of Great Arrays, as it was nearly unaffected by any external conditions.
To pass through this Great Array of Blood Qi, which would have taken the lives of at least a hundred thousand people to gather, the only way was likely to brute-force it. But Su Zhou felt that even if he unleashed the remaining fifty percent of his power, reinforced himself with his native Fire Spiritual Power, and unleashed his strongest Burst, he probably still couldn’t blast it open.
"Yara, Yara, what do you think? How am I supposed to get through this barrier?"
Without getting past this barrier, it was impossible to reach the control room in the Central Mountain Range and gain control of the Kunlun Secret Realm. Su Zhou asked Yara in his mind, but the Snake Spirit didn’t reply.
However, after confirming that Yara was indeed ignoring him, Su Zhou instantly understood. ’Yara isn’t answering me, which means I can get through this barrier with my own abilities or with the resources available here. Her silence is, in itself, an answer.’
This line of thinking immediately brought a possible solution to mind.
’It’s just... a little dangerous.’
Before Su Zhou could fully formulate the idea in his head, a violent fluctuation once again came from behind the barrier.
From the Sealing Hall, now completely enveloped in a blood-red light, all sorts of huge, burly Exotic Beasts with blood-red eyes began to pour out!
Amidst the vast, rocky ridges at the foot of the mountain, the black horde of beasts surged ceaselessly from the ancient hall. They roared as they charged out, trampling over the old, dust-covered Cyan Jade Road and kicking up clouds of dirt.
From a distance, it looked like a pool of ink spreading in all directions, staining the surrounding land pitch-black.
And amidst the surging horde, a divine and enormous Peacock emerged from the deep shadows of the hall. Its long, cyan-and-white feathers looked as if they were carved from jade. Surrounded by the beasts, it appeared before everyone.
This was a Divine Bird that could truly be called beautiful and majestic. Compared to the Golden-winged Roc form Garuda had revealed, it was not overly large, standing only about five meters tall with a wingspan of just over ten meters.
Its aura and Suppression far surpassed that of the young, almost childlike Garuda. The two Colorful Feathers flowing with iridescent light behind it further accentuated its extraordinary presence, which carried a terrifying power from primordial times.
"Garuda, you’re in a pathetic state." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
A clear cry echoed from the distance. Upon hearing it, Garuda knew that this giant Divine Bird Peacock was the high-ranking member of the Beast God Realm who had been communicating with it from the other side of the great black hole. "Well? Now that you’ve witnessed humanity’s savagery and cruelty, have you decided to join our Beast God Realm?"
As it spoke, it turned its head to look at Su Zhou and the others, who were staring with a fiery gaze, licking their lips. It continued nonchalantly, "As for you humans with Divine Blood... hmm, you reek, but at least your bloodline is useful."
