"An unfamiliar scent, the scent of food..."
In the darkness, a figure slowly stood up. It had two ferocious heads, black energy flowing all over its body, and a terrifying aura of destruction emanated from it.
The moment he sensed Lu Qingshan, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, which then turned into excitement.
In the Dim Land...
The World Beast devour and kill each other, and it's rare to see any creatures from the outside world anymore.
For countless eons, no creature from the outside world has ever come here.
"I heard that Mohe gained an edge by devouring two powerful beings from the Universe Ocean, and continued to rise above them... becoming a top expert among the World Beast Race. If I devour this guy, I might also increase my strength."
The World Beast thought to itself.
He did not share this information.
Although World Beast usually pause their fighting and cooperate briefly when faced with creatures from the outside world, if they were to inform other World Beast World Beast, their prey would likely be snatched away by them, which would not be good news for them.
"Although I suffered some injuries, I am still Second-Order World Beast. Killing a Universe Master in the Universe Ocean shouldn't be difficult. This guy seems quite strong, but he's only Universe Master after all! However, I still need to be careful. This is the outer edge of the Dim Land; we can't let him get away!"
Tifa, the World Beast, sensed the unfamiliar presence and quietly approached it. Soon, it discovered the human's appearance.
"This is... the Lord of Myriad Laws..."
Tifa knows about the Lord of Myriad Laws.
Even all the World Beast in the World Beast Race know of the Lord of Myriad Laws.
The deaths of their three previous servants were closely related to this Lord of Myriad Laws.
Before its fall, the Qiu Yan Ancestral God also informed them of the powerful beings in the Universe Ocean, with a special mention of the Lord of Myriad Laws.
"I've heard that this Lord of Myriad Laws claims to be the strongest being in the Universe Ocean. A mere Universe Master dares to call himself number one..."
He approached cautiously.
Once within his attack range, he immediately attacked, lunging towards the Lord of Myriad Laws with incredible speed, like a streak of black light...
"What is that?!"
On the other side, Lu Qingshan seemed taken aback, his expression changing slightly.
By the time he realized it, a sharp claw had already torn through the void and appeared in front of him. Lu Qingshan quickly dodged.
It looked incredibly rushed; he only managed to avoid vital areas, yet the sharp claws still tore through his battle armor, and the black aura of destruction was eroding his divine body.
" World Beast!"
Lu Qingshan was shocked.
"My name is Tifa! You are the Lord of Myriad Laws? The strongest being in the Universe Ocean? Your speed is not bad."
Tifa, the World Beast, spoke coldly, seemingly enjoying the struggle of her prey before its death.
You know me?
Lu Qingshan took out a War Blade and assumed a defensive stance.
"You killed my servant. We were already planning to find you, but now, you've delivered yourself right to our doorstep."
Tifa snorted coldly and attacked again.
This time he chose Soul Attack.
Countless illusory destructive forces descended instantly, striking Lu Qingshan's divine body with pinpoint accuracy. "Ah!"
Lu Qingshan let out a low growl in pain.
Tifa's eyes flashed with surprise. "As expected of the Lord of Myriad Laws, you actually possess Supreme Supreme Treasure for soul defense. However, your armor seems rather ordinary. Just die! Your treasures will all become my spoils."
Tifa struck again, unleashing both Soul Attack to torment her opponent and physical attacks.
Lu Qingshan was still reacting hastily, making repeated mistakes, and only managed to maintain a barely perceptible pace of resistance.
He would occasionally lose some of his divine body to prevent his opponent from suspecting anything. After several exchanges, he had several wounds on his body, and his divine body was also greatly depleted.
Tifa was also getting angry.
This Lord of Myriad Laws is indeed troublesome. If it were any other Universe Master, or even just the Universe Supreme Master, he would have already killed them completely by now.
"Damn Morosa, despicable Morosa, greedy Morosa! If it weren't for this bastard who injured me, I wouldn't have been unable to defeat even a single Universe Master for so long."
Tifa cursed inwardly.
The insults were directed not at Lu Qingshan, but at Morosa.
His injuries were inflicted by Morosa, who took advantage of his fight with other World Beast and his injuries to launch a sneak attack. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have become Morosa's food. He utterly despised this despicable World Beast and, like the other World Beast, informed them of Morosa's vile deeds.
"Fortunately, I still have the upper hand. I just need to slowly wear down his divine body, and this guy will still die!"
Tifa continued her attack.
Then suddenly, a dazzling light burst forth from the War Blade in Lu Qingshan's hand.
He felt a terrifying power from that single strike.
"Are we going to fight like this?"
He quickly defended himself.
puff!
A flash of light slashed across his arm, not severing it, but causing blood to splatter everywhere.
"Damn food, it actually hurt me!"
Tifa roared.
His body instantly recovered, and he collected all the splattered blood. Although he sensed that a single drop of blood remained, he didn't dwell on it while the battle raged on.
After that one move, the Lord of Myriad Laws seemed to have exhausted all his tricks, his divine body was extremely weak, and he was no longer able to fight back.
However, just as he was about to devour the Lord of Myriad Laws, with a loud bang, the Lord of Myriad Laws actually self-destructed, destroying most of his divine body. While he was resisting the power of this self-destruction, the remaining small part of the Lord of Myriad Laws' divine body suddenly burst forth with astonishing speed, running away from the Dim Land.
This was the very edge of the Dim Land, Tifa made a mistake, allowing him to actually escape.
His eyes were red...
He let out an angry roar.
He realized that he had lost his senses of the Lord of Myriad Laws, so he did not pursue him.
However, he remained extremely angry.
Although he wasn't seriously injured, Lord of Myriad Laws actually self-destructed over ninety percent of his divine body, the fact that a lowly insect escaped right in front of him still greatly displeased him.
Moreover, the energy generated by that self-destruction had already attracted the attention of other World Beast.
Not only was his hideout exposed, but he also lost face.
In the darkness, many nearby World Beast were conversing. " Tifa, did you encounter a powerful being from the Universe Ocean?"
"Yes, is it the Lord of Myriad Laws that Qiu Yan Ancestral God mentioned before, the strongest being in the Universe Ocean?"
What was the result?
"He was almost killed by me. In the end, he self-destructed his divine body and used a secret technique to escape in a sorry state. If I hadn't been careless, he would be dead by now."
"Is this all the level of the number one in the Universe Ocean?"
"Even with that kind of strength, Tifa couldn't take her down."
"Damn it... If that damned Morosa hadn't ambushed me and injured me, that bug wouldn't have been able to escape at all!!!"
Tifa's angry voice echoed in the ears of all the World Beast.
"Haha, Tifa seems to really hate Morosa."
"What a pity, Tifa wanted to hog it all. If the other World Beast joined forces, the Lord of Myriad Laws would definitely not escape."
"Those three slaves said the Lord of Myriad Laws had immense potential and was our greatest threat, but it seems they're not so formidable after all."
"What do those three know? This Lord of Myriad Laws is merely Universe Master, yet he rivals True God, and he managed to escape from the wounded Tifa. He certainly possesses some skills..."
The conversation gradually faded into the darkness.
For the World Beast, this was merely a minor episode in the midst of the carnage.
At most, they'd just make a few sarcastic remarks about Tifa.
Deeper into the Dim Land, in a nest, another World Beast was quietly lurking.
He didn't participate in the conversation; he just silently watched from the screen.
" Tifa, foolish Tifa... There can only World Beast King, only a fool would fight fair and square... Despicable or treacherous, as long as I reach the end, I will be the final king!"
After silently cursing Tifa a few times, Morosa recalled the descriptions of the Lord of Myriad Laws and the strongest being in the Universe Ocean during their earlier conversation, and some plans began to take shape in his mind.
Living in the Dim Land for a long time, every Second-Order World Beast is in great danger. They have to guard against attacks from their companions and find opportunities to break through their own limits. If they cannot evolve, they will inevitably become food for other World Beast, with no chance to rest at all.
"I'm not far from reaching the Level 3. Perhaps after I reach the Level 3, I can go and see the Universe Ocean... Staying in the Dim Land is too tiring. If I leave the Dim Land, I might be able to evolve faster, and it would be safer too."
"That Lord of Myriad Laws is known as the strongest being in the Universe Ocean. Even the injured Tifa is no match for him. Once I reach the Level 3, I will be invincible in the Universe Ocean. Evolving by devouring those Small Universe may not be slower than evolving by devouring World Beast."
Morosa pondered this in his mind. However, he had not yet made a decision.
After all, the instinct of the World Beast is to devour each other and eventually give birth to a king. His idea seems a bit unconventional, and it's unclear whether it can succeed.
If your thinking is wrong, you waste time, and miss the opportunity for evolution, you may lose that last chance forever.
"No rush... I'm only at Level 2 now, I'll wait until Level 3... Compared to those fools, I, Morosa, am the smartest. The future World Beast King is destined to be me!"
His eyes blazed with fury.
"Hmm? Bedi and Faen are fighting... They're both powerful Second-Order World Beast. If I devour them, I can evolve to Level 3 even faster. I might as well go and see if I can get a good deal."
Morosa's figure disappeared into the lair in just a moment.
On the other side, outside the Dim Land, where the core of the Tilted Peak Realm lies.
Six pairs of Wings of Life unfolded behind Lu Qingshan.
Only after confirming that the World Beast had not pursued him did Lu Qingshan fully restore his divine body...
"I've got the blood of the World Beast." Lu Qingshan looked at the jade bottle in his hand, a slight smile flashing across his lips.
Although the process was somewhat complicated, he still managed to obtain the blood of the World Beast he had been longing for.
Moreover, his performance this time was perfect, and Lu Qingshan believed that the World Beast should not be able to see any flaws.
His behavior might even lead him to despise the Universe Ocean even more...
