Boom!! The mountain-sized behemoth slammed heavily into the ground. The entire floor shuddered violently, and even the enormous Flying Boat rocked.
What had been released was none other than the One-Horned Tiger-Lion Beast's corpse!
The One-Horned Tiger-Lion Beast had truly been cursed with rotten luck!
Just as he was about to escape the Primordial Ruins and soar freely beneath the heavens, with even a chance of cultivating to enlightenment someday, he had gone and blundered straight into the super Grand Formation the Mystic Lake Star Realm cultivators had set up to intercept the Heavenly Demon Race and the other Legacy Disciples. They had worn him down until he died. His luck could hardly have been worse!
As for that pearl shimmering with blue light, it was a Storage Pearl unique to the Mystic Lake Star Realm. It actually worked on the same principle as a Storage Pouch: both provided spatial storage. Only their materials differed, so naturally their appearances differed as well. Pearl-shaped storage treasures predominated in the Mystic Lake Star Realm, though such treasures came in plenty of other forms too, such as storage rings, Storage Bracelets, storage necklaces, Storage Belts, and so on...
It all depended on which materials were abundant in a particular star realm or region, and how much storage space the resulting treasures could hold...
Once the One-Horned Tiger-Lion Beast's corpse flew out of the Storage Pearl, the Mystic Lake Star Realm cultivators gathered around it and began chattering excitedly.
"Ha ha! With the essence blood and flesh of this Heaven-and-Earth Realm Elder Demon Beast, we stand a good chance of advancing our cultivation!"
"Exactly! Now we won't have to fear those outside cultivators!"
"Yes! Thankfully, this One-Horned Tiger-Lion Beast had already been badly wounded! Otherwise, taking him down would have been no easy task!"
