Chapter 1172 - Chapter 1172 Chapter 466 Master of the Blood Tower

Chapter 1172: Chapter 466: Master of the Blood Tower Chapter 1172: Chapter 466: Master of the Blood Tower Every era has a name that shines the brightest, a name that sometimes can even be called the symbol of the era.

To become such an existence, being powerful is merely the most basic element, you must do some earth-shattering deeds that people relish discussing, or possess some distinct character traits, in order to be quickly remembered by others.

Beast Sovereign Cao Guang was one such figure destined to become a symbol of his era.

Born of the direct line of the Beast Taming Sect, awakened with a Heaven-level Bloodline that commanded the ghostly domain, he could communicate with the nether at the onset, sensing the Mysterious Silent Communicating Netherworld Clear Void Qi. At fifty-eight, he fused his beast taming techniques and bloodline, comprehending the true meaning of his martial path on the Eight Wilderness Mountain by refining the bloodlines of six thousand six hundred divine beasts, creating the Myriad Beasts Soul Chart, unbeatable in the Fierce Realm.

At a hundred and fifty-five, he achieved enlightenment and was crowned, his title: the Beast!

He was a true king, one who would have left his mark even in the darkest era of the Human Race, let alone in today’s flourishing martial world.

The Beast Taming Sect spared no expense in their investment, enabling him to stand at the threshold of Saint King-level combat power as soon as he entered the King Realm. Given time, he would inevitably dominate an age.

If the calling card of the Beast Taming Sect in the three hundred years prior was that Old Master who liked to squat on the mountain top munching peanuts, then the emergence of Cao Guang would enable the Beast Taming Sect to secure its fortune for another five hundred years!

Star beasts roared, and soul beasts surged like tides, howling out of the gaping maw that connected to the cosmic void, refined by the Mysterious Silent Netherworld Qi.

If necessary, alone, Cao Guang could slaughter everyone on Fen Island. But after all, he was simply there to repay a favor to Cao Jinyu and had no intention of unnecessary killing, so those soul beasts, heavy with the scent of death, merely guarded the breach in the Spirit Realm torn open by the star beasts, without further aggression. Yet even that was enough to shatter the courage of everyone on Fen Island.

Even the two Grandmasters, Burning Void and Luan Jin, despaired. If they ruthlessly tore open a path to escape, they naturally had the means to flee. However, if they did so, Fen Island would cease to exist.

But what could they do by staying? Facing Beast Sovereign Cao Guang, they couldn’t even muster the courage to fight.

The turmoil within the Cangming Mountain boundary naturally alarmed powers from all directions. Clusters of Martial Ancestors wanted to investigate, but upon seeing the Dutian Heavenly King patrol with two Heavenly Patrol Boats, and the mountain-like star beasts tearing at the boundary, they changed their complexions immediately.

In recent years, with Wang Chang and An Dinghuang campaigning east and west, the mere mention of the Heavenly Patrol Boat would scare some Zhongzhou powers witless, dodging at every turn from this disaster star that was now on their doorstep, who would dare approach?

Suddenly, the various powers extinguished their willingness to engage, retreating to their territories, raising grand formations, pretending to know nothing, hear nothing, in silent compliance.

Those who had drawn near out of curiosity could easily leave everything behind, but the Ancient Blood Tower with grand plans could not so easily let go.

To fully deliver on their favor, the Blood Tower dispatched two protectors, the Corpse Monk Gu Han and the Bone Taoist Feng You, and even gathered thirty-three heavenly assassins. Yet now, catching sight of the star beasts from afar, they could no longer continue with their plans.

“Immeasurable Ghost Buddha of the Netherworld!” After chanting his true Buddhist name, the Corpse Monk sighed deeply: “Fen Island is finished; even with us, it would be no use!”

“His speed is like the wind, his conquest like fire, movements as swift as thunder.” The Bone Taoist Feng You nodded while looking at the shattered chaos of Cangming Mountain, “Commander Cao urgently needs a resounding victory to reassert the ruling power of the Dutian Heavenly King’s patrols, Fen Island stands no chance this time, let’s go!”

After one last glance at the mountainous star beasts gnawing at the boundary, the two protectors of the Ancient Blood Tower quietly retreated with the thirty-three heavenly assassins.

…

With the support of Beast King Cao Guang, the overwhelming victory of the Feng and Lin tribes was self-evident.

Meanwhile, another Heavenly Patrol Divine Vessel ferried warriors brimming with killing intent towards Longyuan, but before it could get close, a sudden thunderstorm blocked their path.

Just as An Dinghuang was about to order his generals to join forces and tear through the storm before them, he was gently waved off by Great Commander Cao Jinyu.

“It’s been a hundred years, Brother Wenren–Is this how you welcome an old friend?”

Standing at the bow of the ship, the Great Commander shouted through the storm, his voice alone overpowering the thunder, howling in the dark clouds.

The thunderclouds gradually ceased, and the clouds dispersed, revealing the master of Ancient Blood Tower sitting atop a throne forged from lightning before everyone’s eyes.

“Brother Wenren has indeed broken through!”

Cao Jinyu chuckled at the man on the throne of lightning: “The world has gained another Human King, congratulations are in order.”

Although the Mountain Department came to suppress Blood Tower, the Great Commander conversed amiably with the master of Blood Tower as if reuniting with a long-lost friend, leaving everyone utterly baffled. Especially An Dinghuang, whose brows were tightly furrowed, wondering what Cao Jinyu was really after.

To say that Commander Cao was afraid of this new king before him was obviously impossible. After all, the sects managed by Commander Cao were more than one, and whether it was Youzhouwu or Tiandaoan, each had a King Realm beside them, yet Cao Jinyu still did as he pleased. Why then did he act so differently upon meeting the master of Blood Tower?

Just as everyone was puzzled, the man on the throne of lightning spoke up; with just a cold snort, he turned the whole world red.

The auspicious clouds transformed into a sea of blood, rippling below the throne of lightning. Wenren Yuanwu turned to Cao Jinyu with a cold voice: “Haven’t seen you in a hundred years, and you’re still as hypocritical as ever. Put that insincere facade away, Cao Jinyu!”

“Oh?” Commander Cao remained unfazed, idly flicking his golden king ring with his index finger, and spoke lightly, “It seems Brother Wenren has quite the misunderstanding about Jinyu.”

“It’s not a misunderstanding, it’s seeing the true colors of the Three Realms Holy Land!”

Wenren Yuanwu retorted coldly: “I have broken through, and that surprises you, doesn’t it?”

“Brother Wenren is stunningly talented; a hundred years ago, you were already a Grandmaster who had completed Spirit Qualification of the flesh. Isn’t enlightenment and breakthrough simply logical, what’s there to be surprised about?”

Cao Jinyu laughed: “Now that Brother Wenren has become a king, past displeasures should be overlooked. On behalf of the Cao Family of Zhongzhou, I officially extend an invitation to Brother Wenren to join the Beast Taming Sect as an honored guest, to celebrate this grand occasion together!”

“Celebrate together? Ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha!” Laughing like a thunderous boom that caused the heavens to tremble, Wenren Yuanwu seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world: “The lands age, but a nature hard to change. Cao Jinyu is still that same Cao Jinyu, playing a brilliant game; admirable, indeed admirable!”

As the laughter ceased, the sea of blood in the sky suddenly surged. Wenren Yuanwu disdainfully said to the man standing at the ship’s bow: “To tame a King Realm for the Cao clan and to bring the secret techniques and divine powers of dozens of sects into your embrace, Cao Jinyu, you are still as insatiable as ever, truly sickening.”

“These divine powers and secret techniques all come from the hidden treasures of various sects. How could Jinyu take them for himself? They are naturally categorized and returned to their rightful owners!”

Cao Jinyu responded thinly to Wenren Yuanwu: “Brother Wenren once served as the protector of Divine Court and would clearly understand that to the Three Realms Holy Land, while a King Realm powerhouse is indeed precious, it is just that–merely precious.”
