131: I'm hungry, I want to eat your pet.
[Host: Su Jue]
[Race: Human (Intermediate Datafied Dragon Body 41%) (Intermediate Chaos Dragon Body 87%)]
[Realm: Domain Transformation Realm First Level]
[Cultivation Method: Heart Canon (Beginner 1.5%)]
[Law: Chaos Unity (Elementary · 1.2%)]
[Divine Ability: dimensional universe (Embryonic), Decay Aura (Advanced), Gravity Domain (Advanced), Death Gaze (Elementary)... (Collapsed)]
[energy points: 2,875,120,000]
[Comprehensive Evaluation: It's hard to say]
"Hmm?"
Su Jue looked at the panel, his brow furrowing slightly.
The experience for [Intermediate Chaos Dragon Body] had increased by 2%.
The proficiency of the [Chaos Unity] Law had also increased by 0.2%.
energy points had increased by several hundred thousand.
Everything else basically remained unchanged.
"After all that work, it only increased by this much?"
Su Jue was somewhat dissatisfied.
He felt like he had just fought several battles, crushing Dharma treasures and tanking Divine Abilities head-on.
As it turned out, it was no different from an itch being scratched.
"Still too weak."
Su Jue shook his head and muttered softly to himself.
"System, is there any way for me to get stronger quickly?"
[Ding! Detected Host's strong desire to become stronger.]
[The system is planning the optimal growth route for you...]
[Option One: Devour all the Saint King Level treasures in your 'dimensional universe'. Estimated to instantly break through to the Saint Realm. Note: Success rate is 0.00000001%; the Host will explode on the spot, and not even a box of ashes will remain.]
[Option Two: Find a Saint King Realm powerhouse to fight. Note: The process might be somewhat painful, but as long as you don't die, you might just get stronger.]
[Option Three: Continue to collect more Laws to perfect your 'Chaos Unity'.]
Su Jue directly ignored the first two unreliable options.
He glanced at the little golden figure, Ling, who was sleeping soundly inside his hat.
Fight a Saint King Realm powerhouse?
Forget it.
He didn't want to experience the feeling of being washed away by 'Time' ever again.
It seemed he still had to honestly complete missions.
Su Jue let out a sigh.
At that moment, the light ahead gradually dissipated.
A magnificent, giant palace appeared before their eyes.
The entire palace looked as if it were carved from the skeleton of an ancient behemoth lying prone on the ground.
It was filled with a wild, ancient, and overbearing aura.
At the end of the palace, upon the highest throne.
A massive figure sat there quietly.
He seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
He had a massive lion's head, with a golden mane like burning flames.
He wore a set of battle armor forged from dark-gold scales, with sharp bone spurs protruding from every joint of the armor.
Just by sitting there motionless, he radiated a terrifying pressure sufficient to make the stars tremble.
He was the King of Myriad Beast City, a Saint Realm Expert who had cultivated from the Gold-Devouring Rat tribe—the Myriad Beast King, Devour Heaven!
Su Jue's group appeared as tiny as dust before him.
As soon as Niu Tuo and Mao Xiaomeng stepped into the hall, their legs buckled under this terrifying pressure, and they collapsed directly onto the floor, finding even breathing difficult.
Capybara also put away its lazy demeanor, a hint of solemnity flashing in its half-closed eyes.
Its quantum core was operating at high speed, with blood-red warnings flashing on its screen.
[Warning! Over-spec lifeform detected!]
[Target: Myriad Beast King · Devour Heaven!]
[Power Assessment: Peak Saint Realm!]
[Threat Level: World-Ending!]
[Escape Probability: 0.00001%!]
Capybara stole a glance at Su Jue and found that he still maintained a calm and composed look, as if he didn't feel that terrifying pressure at all.
Only then did it breathe a slight sigh of relief.
True.
This boss of theirs was a ruthless person who used Saint King Level treasures as construction materials.
A mere Peak Saint Realm Expert should... be no problem, right?
Su Jue indeed did not care about the opponent's pressure.
Compared to his Dragon Emperor father, Ao Yuan, this bit of pressure was as weak and limp as a female cat in heat.
He was just looking at the "lion head" on the throne with some curiosity.
This was the Myriad Beast King?
Didn't Capybara say he was a rat that had cultivated into this?
Why did he have a lion's head?
Could it be... a hybrid?
"Are you Su Jue?"
Upon the throne, the Myriad Beast King slowly spoke.
His voice was like muffled thunder, echoing throughout the entire hall.
His gaze was like two sharp swords falling upon Su Jue, as if trying to see through him completely from the inside out.
"It's me."
Su Jue nodded, answering in a childish voice.
"You are very good."
There was a hint of approval in the Myriad Beast King's voice.
"To be able to easily crush the Divine Ability Realm with a cultivation of the Domain Transformation Realm First Level."
"Even your understanding of Laws surprises this King."
"A monstrous talent like you should not remain in obscurity."
"This King can give you a chance."
"Submit to me and become the Grand Marshal of Myriad Beast City, with a status second only to this King."
"This King can bestow upon you endless wealth, countless territories, and the most top-tier cultivation methods and resources."
"How about it?"
The Myriad Beast King tempted him.
He believed that no young person could refuse such conditions.
A single step to the heavens!
However.
After Su Jue finished listening, he just tilted his head and asked back:
"Are you finished?"
Myriad Beast King: "?"
"Now it's my turn," Su Jue said, patting his stomach. "I'm hungry."
"..."
The expression on the Myriad Beast King's majestic lion face stiffened slightly.
Hungry?
What did that mean?
This King is talking to you about your prospects and future, and you tell me you're hungry?
"What do you want to eat?" The Myriad Beast King suppressed the displeasure in his heart and asked patiently.
He decided to go along with this little monster's words for now.
"Hmm..."
Su Jue thought for a moment, then pointed his small finger toward the side of the throne.
There, a massive, snow-white fox with nine tails lay prone.
The giant fox seemed to be dozing; its nine fluffy tails were spread out on the ground like nine soft white quilts.
The aura radiating from its body was impressively at the Divine Power Realm Ninth Layer Peak!
"That one looks quite delicious," Su Jue said with a serious face, pointing at the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox.
"..."
Hearing this, the Myriad Beast King's expression completely froze.
His eyes, which were like golden lava, gradually narrowed.
That Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox was no ordinary wild beast.
It was his pet, something he had spent thousands of years and countless heavenly treasures to nurture!
It was his most beloved mount!
And yet, as soon as this Infant opened his mouth, he wanted to eat it?
"Hehe..."
The Myriad Beast King let out a low laugh, a laugh filled with killing intent.
"Little guy, you are very humorous."
"However, this joke... is not funny."
"Pick another one."
"Oh." Su Jue withdrew his finger with some disappointment.
Can't eat it?
How stingy.
Just then.
Ling, who had been sleeping in his hat all along, seemed to have been awakened by the commotion outside.
Rubbing her drowsy eyes, she poked her little head out from the hat.
