152: Crossing the boundary

Su Ze's eyes widened abruptly, but he immediately realized that as a puppet, he shouldn't show such strong emotional fluctuations, so he hurriedly forced himself to calm down.

Nevertheless, he listened intently to the introduction regarding this matter.

Su Ze truly hadn't expected that Fusang's research on anchor points had reached such a stage that they could even pass through an anchor point to enter the world on the other side!

Xiao Xu also appeared extremely surprised, his mouth agape as he said, "We're going to the Monster Beast World this time?"

"There, we certainly won't have to worry about not finding Moonlight-rank Divine Beast blood, but... all of us added together probably wouldn't be enough to withstand a single sneeze from a divine beast of that level, right?"

"Moonlight-rank Divine Beast?" Su Ze memorized the term in his heart; after all, he still didn't know the three rankings for divine beasts.

Tanaka Mori smiled from the side and said, "Rest assured, Lord Xiao. Since we have made such preparations, we certainly aren't going there just to die in vain. As long as we act cautiously, we will surely return unscathed."

Then his tone shifted again, and he said with a serious expression, "But there's no denying that it is indeed extremely dangerous there. That's why that bastard Zaraki Kenpachi handed the mission to us. We must act with extreme caution once we get over there!"

Xiao Xu nodded in agreement and said he understood.

The massive shadow rippled like the surface of water, slowly swallowing everyone, including Xiao Xu, who had not contracted a dark-attribute monster beast.

Just as Lin Xi had once brought Su Ze into the Shadow Realm before he had contracted the Shadow Moon Wolf King, he now already possessed the ability to enter the Shadow Realm on his own.

At this thought, the expression on Su Ze's face darkened, and his killing intent toward Xiao Xu grew a bit stronger.

Xiao Xu seemed to sense something and looked toward Su Ze, but by then, Su Ze had already looked away.

"I feel a bit of a chill on my back... is someone thinking about me?"

...In the Shadow Realm, the group suddenly appeared in this dim world without warning.

Because Su Ze had passed through hurriedly last time, and this time he wasn't being held captive, he was able to observe the place carefully.

Even he had to marvel that the Fusang Dark Guards were indeed masters of wielding dark-attribute monster beasts, having cultivated deep within the Shadow Realm for many years.

In comparison, although Lin Xi's Nightmare Lord was also a dual-attribute monster beast of dark and mental attributes and was even one of the lords of the Shadow Realm...

But he clearly placed more importance on developing the monster beast's mental attribute, and his utilization of the dark attribute was much poorer by comparison.

Su Ze even saw that Fusang had built houses in the Shadow Realm, creating a grand-scale city!

If Su Ze hadn't noticed this today, then even if Great Xia completely defeated Fusang, it would probably leave them an opportunity for a comeback.

"However, this is also related to their possession of an anchor point formed by shadows. It is precisely these unique conditions that help them gain a deep understanding of the Shadow Realm."

But what shocked him the most was looking up to see not only the dark sun unique to the Shadow Realm but also the phantom of another world clearly hanging upside down above their heads.

Zaraki Kenpachi walked at the very front like the leader of the group and said, "Above the sky of the Shadow Realm is the Shadow Realm of the Monster Beast World. Just a few years ago, it was merely a hazy sight, but recently it has suddenly become much clearer."

"This means the distance between the Monster Beast World and us is getting closer and closer. This is also why we are using every means possible to help Yamata no Orochi Great God quickly complete his bloodline."

"This way, even if the Monster Beast World invades completely, we will be able to survive under the protection of Yamata no Orochi Great God."

"However, the further closing of the distance between the two worlds is not entirely without benefits for us. For instance, the previous intrusion into Great Xia through the anchor point was done by taking advantage of this opportunity."

"Now, our ability to find a way through the barrier between worlds to go to the Monster Beast World is also because of this reason. Otherwise, with our current strength alone, we would be far from being able to achieve it."

Zaraki Kenpachi did not lead them into the city within the Shadow Realm but instead flew straight into the sky.

Like Chang'e flying to the moon, they flew toward the dark sun in the sky of the Shadow Realm.

But unlike the sun in the normal world, which was out of reach, although the dark sun of the Shadow Realm was distant, they still arrived in front of it after flying persistently for a long time.

The dark sun, which was originally the size of a plate, now looked enormous. Although it was still completely incomparable to the sun in the outside world, it still resembled a dark continent hanging above their heads.

As light born from extreme darkness, although it emitted a gloomy glow, it had no scorching heat; instead, it revealed a sense of coldness.

Zaraki Kenpachi introduced again, "The dark sun is light born from darkness. It is an aggregation of countless dark forces, and its powerful energy has even reached the point where it can distort space."

"Because of this, the dark sun has become our only passage across the world barrier."

"But even so, we still need the protection of at least three Lord-rank monster beasts that are outstanding among the dark attribute."

Saying this, he looked at Su Ze beside him. "Originally, the three of us each had a Lord-rank monster beast, but unfortunately, one died at the hands of Lin Xi."

"Fortunately, Lord Xiao, you saved Su Ze. I didn't expect that in addition to the Golden Feather Phoenix Bird, he also has a Lord-rank Shadow Moon Wolf King."

"Back then, in order to gather three Lord-rank monster beasts, we launched a hunt in the Shadow Realm, which included the Shadow Moon Wolf King, but we inadvertently let it escape while wounded."

"We later found the Old Wolf King's body, only to discover that before he died, he had condensed all of his bloodline into a demon beast egg and laid it. His body no longer had any utility. This kid probably just got lucky and encountered the offspring left behind by that wolf king."

Su Ze recalled what the Nightmare Lord had said when he hatched the Shadow Moon Wolf King—that the Old Wolf King had died from heavy injuries sustained from an enemy. He hadn't expected that this so-called enemy was the Fusang Dark Guards.

"Calculating it this way, I have yet another grudge against these bastards!"

At this moment, Xiao Xu raised a question, "But as far as I know, Su Ze's Shadow Moon Wolf King hasn't fully matured yet. I'm afraid it won't be enough to serve as the third Lord-rank monster beast to protect us, right?"

Tanaka Mori beside him cleared his doubt, "When we made the judgment that three Lord-rank monster beasts were needed, the Monster Beast World was further away than it is now. Just a short while ago, the distance between the two worlds suddenly closed significantly."

"At the current distance, the tamed beasts of Zaraki Kenpachi and myself, plus his Shadow Moon Wolf King, will be enough."

Xiao Xu nodded. "In that case, let's get started quickly!"
