151: Mythical Beast Level

Xiao Xu also exclaimed in amazement, "Is this the true strength of the Yamata no Orochi Great God? But since Great Xia was able to produce a divine beast like the Golden Feather Phoenix Bird, aren't you worried a second one will appear?"

Tanaka Mori shook his head, seemingly in the height of his intoxication. He continued with a lecture fueled by the alcohol, "Although you are a university principal, your understanding of divine beasts seems to be insufficient."

"You only know that above Diamond-rank Demonic Beasts are divine beasts, but did you know that divine beasts are also divided into different grades?"

Xiao Xu said solemnly, "I would like to hear the details."

Tanaka Mori introduced with a serious expression, "Divine beasts above the diamond rank are divided into three levels, which we call Star Radiance, Moon Radiance, and Corona. They represent the bloodline differences between divine beasts."

"This is the principle behind why Diamond-rank Demonic Beasts with Dragon or Phoenix bloodlines are stronger than other Diamond-rank Demonic Beasts; it's because pure-blooded Dragons and Phoenixes start as Moon Radiance Level divine beasts, while those at the Corona Level are the ruling kings of the Monster Beast World."

"Although that Golden Feather Phoenix Bird gradually returned to its ancestral divine beast level by purifying the Phoenix bloodline in its body, it is still only at the lowest Star Radiance Level."

"And our Yamata no Orochi Great God... is a powerful Moon Radiance Level divine beast. This is precisely why the blood essence of eight different divine beasts is required to complete His bloodline, and among them, the blood essence of at least two Moon Radiance Level divine beasts is needed!"

Xiao Xu said in surprise, "Divine blood alone is already so difficult to collect. Where can you find divine beast blood essence of this level?"

Tanaka Mori continued, "According to our understanding, the dragon blood once possessed by Azure Dragon Beast Taming University was Moon Radiance Level divine beast blood essence, but clearly, we failed to obtain it."

Then, with a somewhat heavy expression, he said, "In the end, it was our ally, America, who provided us with a drop of Moon Radiance Level divine beast blood essence."

"They didn't have any contact with us; they just sent someone directly to deliver the divine blood. Clearly, nothing we do can be hidden from their eyes. They truly are the world's number one power..."

Xiao Xu then asked, "America is indeed a powerful nation, but once the Yamata no Orochi Great God completes His bloodline, we won't need to fear them anymore, right? However, since they proactively sent the divine blood, they must have made preparations long ago... Aren't you worried that the divine blood has been tampered with?"

Facing Xiao Xu's doubt, Tanaka Mori only gave a helpless smile and then said, "We were indeed worried about that at first, but once we actually took possession of that divine blood, we realized why they weren't worried at all."

"Because... the divine beast blood essence they gave us was even still warm!"

Xiao Xu's eyes widened upon hearing this, clearly not having expected such a thing.

"Doesn't that mean..."

Tanaka Mori interrupted, "Exactly. It means they control a living Moon Radiance Level divine beast, and it's already an adult."

"By comparison, even if the Yamata no Orochi Great God completes His bloodline, He will still need time to grow. Therefore, America is not worried at all that the Yamata no Orochi Great God will subvert their position."

Xiao Xu drank a cup of wine as if to steady his nerves. After calming his emotions, he continued to ask curiously, "But you just said the Yamata no Orochi Great God needs two portions of Moon Radiance Level divine beast blood essence. Now that America has provided one and the portion from Azure Dragon Beast Taming University wasn't obtained, where did the remaining portion come from?"

Tanaka Mori also had a drink and then said, "Regrettably, I just said we have collected seven of the eight types of divine blood required by the Yamata no Orochi Great God. Only the last one remains, which is this second type of Moon Radiance Level divine beast blood essence."

"Ah? The part that's missing is actually the most important? Is there no way to solve this?" Xiao Xu asked with great concern.

His attitude made Tanaka Mori very satisfied. He smiled and said, "Of course there's a way. In fact, we've known for a long time where to obtain this portion of Moon Radiance Level divine beast blood essence; we just need to make some preparations."

Xiao Xu nodded. Since Tanaka Mori wasn't planning to say, he didn't intend to ask.

It wouldn't be good if he caused the other party's dissatisfaction. After all, he was now completely hated by Great Xia and could only rely on Fusang... This drinking session lasted until late at night, and then Xiao Xu was sent back to his residence in a drunken state.

Perhaps it was because they felt that two people from the same place could communicate with each other and dispel the loneliness of being in a foreign land.

So, even though the surveillance on Xiao Xu and Su Ze had been lifted, their residences were still adjacent.

The commotion of Xiao Xu being sent back also startled Su Ze out of his meditation.

During these days, he had also secretly used up the several gacha opportunities he had accumulated. No high-quality beast taming eggs that could help him improve his strength in a short time appeared.

The other eggs were all secretly eaten by Su Ze to help himself improve his strength.

He didn't cook them openly; he could only eat them raw to avoid his secret being discovered and eventually becoming an asset for an enemy country.

Listening to the commotion next door, Su Ze frowned and said, "The guy who sold out his country is actually doing quite well for himself here. He even managed to get the position of Dark Guard Captain General, making him second only to one and above ten thousand in all of Fusang."

Su Ze couldn't help but recall the scene where Xiao Xu had mercilessly killed those Fusang Dark Guards disguised as Great Xia Spirit Guards.

Reasonably speaking, although he himself had realized something was wrong after the fact, Lin Xi should have also realized something was wrong.

Yet, he still showed no mercy and dealt the killing blows.

"But that doesn't prove anything. Even if he really saw through it, then in order to win the other party's trust, he would have to pretend he saw nothing."

Su Ze had not forgotten the sight of his teacher, Lin Xi, being sneak-attacked from behind by Xiao Xu and finally dying in his arms.

At the thought of this, Su Ze couldn't help but clench his fists.

Once he caught an opportunity, Su Ze would also make Xiao Xu experience what it felt like to have his body pierced from behind!

A few more days passed like this, and the Golden Feather Phoenix Bird was still just a hair's breadth away from becoming a divine beast.

Su Ze was not in a rush for success. The effect of the wutong fruit was definitely sufficient, but the forced termination of the Nirvana earlier had caused some hidden issues.

What she needed now was some external stimulation to help break through this bottleneck.

Just then, Zaraki Kenpachi came looking for him and ordered him out.

After all, he was nominally Zaraki Kenpachi's puppet now.

Su Ze wondered in his heart what it was for this time.

Could it be that that ugly Yamata no Orochi snake was about to complete its bloodline?

But Feng Qingyi hadn't been able to take this final step yet.

While he was full of questions, he saw Zaraki Kenpachi lead him to a familiar place.

It was precisely the shadow of the unknown demonic beast that served as an anchor point, which he had stepped on when he first arrived in Fusang.

"Why bring me here? Does it mean they're going to Great Xia to carry out some conspiracy again?"

Su Ze instantly became alert. If that were truly the case, he had to find a way to slip out and report the news to thwart their plan.

When he approached, he found that Xiao Xu was already waiting here.

Also present were Tanaka Mori and two or three powerful Fusang Dark Guards.

Seeing Tanaka Mori and Xiao Xu standing so close, Zaraki Kenpachi's expression became very ugly.

But he still led Su Ze over and then said, "Is everyone here? If so, get ready. We are going to pass through the Shadow Realm via the divine beast's shadow to enter the Monster Beast World on the other side!"
