666: Chapter 666 The Ambition of the Dragon Elephant Ancestor

"Hmm, this piece is cooked just right, and the meat is firmer. Do you want to try some?"

As he spoke, Gu Changge handed the skewer of glistening, fragrant roasted meat toward the Tiger King's mouth.

Looking at the piece of meat that had just been sliced from its own buttocks—still carrying its body heat—the Golden Fiend Tiger King felt its stomach churn.

"No, no, no! Please enjoy it, Senior! This Junior just ate and isn't hungry at all!"

It shook its head like a rattle, tears welling up in its eyes.

Gu Changge looked at the Golden Fiend Tiger King, who looked ready to cry yet was desperately shaking its head while enduring nausea and fear; the playful smile at the corner of his mouth deepened.

He didn't force it. With a flick of his wrist, he sent the skewer of roasted meat into his own mouth, chewing slowly and methodically as if savoring a work of art.

"Hmm, not bad. The heat is a bit better than the last piece."

He commented casually while tasting it. His relaxed demeanor formed a sharp contrast with the stiff, cold-sweat-drenched Golden Fiend Tiger King beside him.

Only after swallowing the last bite did Gu Changge's gaze fall back onto the Tiger King.

At this moment, the trace of coldness in his eyes had dissipated.

"Alright, stop making that face."

Gu Changge's tone was flat, revealing neither joy nor anger.

He casually raised his right hand and gave a light brush toward the Tiger King's bloody buttocks.

A soft yet life-filled green glow instantly enveloped the Tiger King's hindquarters.

The wound where the meat had been carved healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The Golden Fiend Tiger King subconsciously reached back to touch its buttocks—smooth, intact, and warm.

The piercing pain had vanished, replaced by a warm sense of comfort.

"Since you've admitted your mistake and learned your lesson, then lead the way properly."

"I have no interest in your little schemes, nor do I care about Myriad Beast Divine Mountain or your old grudges."

Only then did the Golden Fiend Tiger King truly feel at ease. Daring not to have any more stray thoughts, its massive tiger face showed only profound solemnity and a fawning guarantee.

"Rest assured, Senior! Myriad Beast Divine Mountain will definitely satisfy you!!"

"Mm."

Gu Changge gave a noncommittal response. He placed his hands behind his back, his green robes fluttering gently in the breeze.

"Lead the way."

"Yes!"

The Golden Fiend Tiger King dared not delay and hurriedly led the way. One man and one tiger turned into streaks of light, galloping through the vast mountains.

Golden Yao Essence burned wildly around its body, forming a long tail of flame. Everywhere it passed, gales howled and trees collapsed.

After traveling for about half an hour, the vision ahead suddenly opened up. A majestic divine mountain rose from the ground, piercing straight into the clouds.

"Senior, we have arrived!"

The Golden Fiend Tiger King stopped abruptly, its massive body plowing two deep furrows into the ground due to the sudden halt.

It pointed at the divine mountain, a complex expression flashing in its eyes—unwillingness, but even more so, the pleasure of imminent revenge.

It was a majestic divine mountain so vast it was hard to imagine, seemingly piled and evolved from the spines of countless primordial behemoths!

The mountain body was a dull bronze color, covered in natural patterns resembling giant scales or beast claw marks.

The main Peak was so high it pierced above the layer of astral winds and thunderous fires, its summit shrouded in a year-round cloud of Evil Qi interlaced with blood-red and gold.

A majestic, ancient, savage, and powerful aura radiated like a living thing from every inch of soil and every rock in this mountain range.

This place was exactly one of the seven great powers of the Yao Race, the Supreme Holy Land that ruled over hundreds of millions of beasts and birds of prey—Myriad Beast Divine Mountain!

The Golden Fiend Tiger King pointed ahead and said, "Senior, look at the Evil Qi on that main Peak. Its dark gold color tinged with blood is a phenomenon of the Battle Blood Earth Vein manifesting."

The Yao Beasts growing here have blood and Qi that carry an innate Battle Intent and ferocity. Their meat is definitely chewy and flavorful!"

"Look at those Feathered Thunder Rocs circling the mountainside. Look at the span of those wings and the luster of those feathers—top-grade for roasted wings!"

"And the Ground-Shaking Rhinoceros herd at the foot of the mountain. Listen to the dull thuds of their steps; their bones and muscles must be very sturdy. A soup made from them would surely be as thick and white as milk..."

It spoke of them as if counting its family treasures, getting more excited as it went, as if what lay before it wasn't a fearsome Yao Race Holy Land, but a top-tier butcher shop filled with items to choose from.

At this point, it stole a glance at Gu Changge.

Although it didn't know Gu Changge's specific strength, seeing how easily he suppressed it and his calm tone, it surmised he was at least at the Peak of Immortal Venerable, and might even have touched the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm!

It quietly leaned in half a step and lowered its voice significantly:

"Senior, the mountain's Restriction is strict, especially the core area where the Dragon Elephant Old Monster sits. That old thing is already at the Peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor."

"Although you have great Divine Abilities, Senior, there's no need for us to barge in through the front. It would be troublesome if we alerted that old fellow."

The Tiger King rubbed its paws, a cunning light flickering in its eyes:

"If you take a fancy to any Yao Beast, why don't we sneak in and steal a few? That way we won't be exposed, and we'll save some trouble..."

The Tiger King grew more excited as it spoke, feeling the resentment that had built up for ten thousand years seemingly leak out a bit with these 'introductions'.

However, Gu Changge did not respond, only quietly gazing at the divine mountain.

This place was teeming with Yao Beasts—some as blazing as a furnace, some as heavy as the earth, some as sharp as metal, and some as cold as a deep pool. It was full of vitality, far exceeding any place they had passed before.

"It is indeed somewhat interesting."

He murmured to himself, a nearly imperceptible curve of satisfaction crossing his lips.

Suddenly, an unnoticeable coldness flashed in Gu Changge's eyes. His Divine Sense did not stop for a moment, sweeping directly toward the core area of the divine mountain where the Restrictions were tightest.

Deep within the Ancestral Hall of Myriad Beast Divine Mountain, the blood and Qi inside were like a rainbow, steaming up a visible crimson mist.

On the main seat, a Dragon Elephant at the Peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor sat lazily. Its tusks were as warm as jade, its trunk was as muscular as a dragon, and terrifying fluctuations that could make stars tremble flowed beneath its dark golden scales.

Beside it, several Yao Race powerhouses with equally vast auras stood in attendance: the Sky-Splitting Kui Ox surrounded by lightning, the Eight Desolations War Bear with soaring Evil Qi, and the deep-eyed Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox—all had reached the Peak of Immortal Venerable.

At this moment, Elder Sky-Splitting Kui Ox's voice was like muffled thunder as he reported:

"Old Ancestor, secret letters have arrived from the Blood Demon Sect and the Gui Xu Sect. They wish to ally with our Divine Mountain to jointly attack the Myriad Immortals Sect!"

"The Blood Demon Sect promises that after success, they are willing to give thirty percent of the Myriad Immortals Sect's territory and all Alchemy resources to our Divine Mountain!"

"And the Gui Xu Sect promises to open the Guixu Sea Eye after the event for our clan's powerhouses to Cultivate for ten thousand years!"

"Oh?"

Dragon Elephant Ancestor slowly opened its eyes. Its golden pupils shifted slightly, and its voice sounded like ancient stones rubbing together, conveying the majesty and nonchalance of one long in a high position.

"Myriad Immortals Sect? I heard that not long ago, a mysterious powerhouse descended, and three Grand Elders along with that Quasi-Emperor old ghost all perished? The one presiding now is a Peak Immortal Venerable named Ji Mie?"

"The Old Ancestor is wise!" Elder Kui Ox replied in a deep voice.

"The identity of that mysterious powerhouse remains a mystery. The Gui Xu Sect wants to borrow your strength to deal with that unknown threat."

Dragon Elephant Ancestor's breath grew heavy, and it snorted coldly. "So, they want to use my Yao Race as pawns?"

"Old Ancestor, this matter is indeed inappropriate."

The Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox Elder's eyes flickered as she spoke with concern.

"That mysterious powerhouse could wipe out a Quasi-Emperor; his strength is unfathomable. If..."

Before she could finish, a crude roar interrupted her.

"Elder Fox is far too cautious!" The Eight Desolations War Bear slammed his hand on the armrest, making the hall hum.

He stood up abruptly, his mountain-like physique exploding with a startling sense of power, his eyes full of fanatical worship:

"Our Divine Mountain's Old Ancestor has long since stepped into the Peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor. His blood and Qi are so vast they can shake the galaxy! Who in the Immortal Realm can rival him?"

"Not to mention that person hiding his head and showing his tail might not truly be that strong. Even if he shows up, so what?"

War Lord Xiong Zhan clenched his fists, the Void beneath his palms making the sound of cracking under unbearable weight, as he grinned hideously:

"With the Old Ancestor personally overseeing things, combined with the two Old Ancestors from Guixu and Blood Demon, that's a total of three Quasi-Emperors joining forces! Such a lineup is enough to sweep through everything in the Immortal Realm!"

"When the time comes, we'll use that mysterious person's head to sacrifice to our Divine Mountain's battle flag, deterring the small fry and spreading the Divine Might of our Yao Race!"

These passionate words instantly ignited the blood of the demons in the hall.

Indeed, with three Quasi-Emperors joining forces, what was there to fear?

The Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox opened her mouth but ultimately swallowed her dissuasion, though the doubt deep in her eyes did not dissipate.

"Hahaha! Good!"

Dragon Elephant Ancestor was clearly very pleased, letting out a deafening burst of wild laughter that made the entire Ancestral Hall tremble.

The dark golden Dao patterns around its body lit up in succession, and a terrifying pressure swept across the scene:

"Xiong Zhan's words are exactly what I'm thinking! My Myriad Beast Divine Mountain has been dormant for many years. It's time to make the heroes of this Immortal Realm remember the fear of being dominated by the Yao Race!"

It leaned its massive body forward slightly, the pressure causing the temperature in the hall to plummet, yet a hint of cold cunning leaked into its tone:

"When the time comes, after we join forces to destroy the Myriad Immortals Sect, we will strike back and swallow the Gui Xu Sect as well! As for the Blood Demon Sect, without the constraints of the Myriad Immortals Sect and Gui Xu Sect, they won't be able to make any waves."

"At that time, the Southeast of the Immortal Realm will be under the command of my Myriad Beast Divine Mountain! Whatever Human Race Sects or Yao Race Holy Lands there are, all shall grovel at this Ancestor's feet!"

"The Old Ancestor is brilliant!"

The demons shouted in unison, their voices echoing in the hall, every pair of eyes burning with endless greed for power and resources.

"When that time comes, who can stop my Myriad Beast Divine Mountain?!"

The Eight Desolations War Bear laughed wildly toward the sky, his laughter making the secret room hum. "The Dragon Clan is nothing! From today on, I am the Supreme of the Yao Realm!"

Just as the laughter reached its climax and all the Yao Kings were immersed in the dream of dominating the Immortal Realm—

Buzz.

A soft sound abruptly exploded in their minds.

Immediately after, an indescribable and terrifying pressure, like the collapse of the firmament, instantly enveloped the entire Myriad Beast Divine Mountain.

The wild laughter in the secret room came to an abrupt halt, as if a giant invisible hand had seized their throats.

The smile on the Eight Desolations War Bear's face froze. He discovered in horror that he could not move.

Not just him; all the Yao Kings present were like insects frozen in amber, unable to even lift an eyelid. The Yao Essence in their bodies was deathly silent, as if it had never existed.

"Who?!"

"What power is this?!"

Fear flooded this group of previously arrogant Great Yao like a tide.

Outside the Divine Mountain, Gu Changge's originally flat gaze shifted slightly.

Myriad Immortals Sect? The place Ji Mie is currently reorganizing?

Mysterious powerhouse? Heh.

He looked again at the Yao Race giants in the Ancestral Hall who were looking smug over their clever plan as if they already held the world in their hands.

He then looked down at the countless Yao Beasts galloping and roaring in this majestic divine mountain, emitting the fresh fragrance of ingredients.

That faint curve at the corner of his mouth appeared once more.

Only this time, there was an added touch of ineffable understanding and mockery in that curve.
